Multicultural debate simmers Faculty, administrators discuss challenges facing college's program to increase diversity on campus Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

The latest buzz word from academia was the subject of a heated forum Wednesday. Multiculturalism. The multicultural forum , sponsored by the Metro Student Government Assembly, allowed six panelists to voice their opinions on the current status of multicultural education at Metro. "Culture is not always something you see, but it is something you see with," said Manuel Escamilla, Metro assistant vice president of Academic Affairs. He said that while the current multicultural requirement of three credit hours is a good start, more hours should be added. Metro History Professor Charles Angeletti said the problem lies not with the curriculum, but with the faculty as a whole. "Metro hires 'safe' diverse teachers that won't make waves," Angeletti said. "If every teacher taught multiculturalism with the existing curriculum, the problem would be solved," he said, adding, "this faculty lacks the skills to do what they need to do." He cited the blasting of Metro President Sheila Kaplan by Al Knight, an editorial writer for The Denver Post, in his column Sunday. "It's a case of a neo-nazi, who doesn't write very well, writing about a benevolent bureaucrat who doesn't understand the problem," Angeletti said. Karen Krupar, Metro speech professor, laid out a multi-step plan increasing

NOT THE GOOD BOOK: Manuel Escamilla, Metro assistant vice president of academic affairs, attacks the book, Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know, by Ed Hirsch, for being culturally biased. this college's efforts at multicultural understanding. "First, we need to anticipate and respect effects of demographic shifts," she said. She added that continuing education for teachers is a must for developing skills necessary for cultural fluency. Angelina De La Torre, Metro criminal justice professor, addressed the question at the root of the problem, "Is the educational system preparing student for the future?" Not in a "multicultural world," she said. She pointed out that students should seek out their administrators for support

for an increase in multicultural education, and called on those administrators present to stand so students could see who they were. "They're a nice-looking group of administrators, but they're not going to do anything," shot Angeletti, adding that they wouldn't do anything that might put their salary in jeopardy. "If you think this college exists for the students, you're wrong," he said, " it doesn't." He charged students to seek out their chairpersons and deans to affect changes in the status quo.

A Metro student is spearheading a movement to expand the options available to students to fulfill their multicultural graduation requirement. Metro student John Morris has drafted a petition to add African studies, Asian studies, and several European culture studies, including Spanish, German, and French to the Multicultural Department. Morris said Metro would be making its graduates more marketable in the work force if they had broader multicultural backgrounds. "We're making our degree set apart from others," Morris said. "Like using a different color paper on a resume." Copies of Morris' petition are located around campus, including the Language Lab in the Central Classroom. The petitions have over 1,000 signatures. Akbarali Thobhani, Metro director of Intercultural Studies, and Morris share the same goal, but an adversarial relationship between Morris and faculty of the Intercultural Studies department has hindered their progress. 'There are three courses that are all ready to go but Dr. Thobhani is the only guy who can decide what goes into the multicultural department," Morris said. The three courses are Spanish, French and German civilization studies courses. "If all students - not just students of color - would speak up, things would get done," Morris said.

路Metro selects new financial-aid director Colorado woman says focus will be serving students Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

After the top-three Metro financialaid administrators turned in their resignations in May, the department was left to process thousands of Fall loan and scholarship applications without a permanent director. That's going to change next week. Concluding a national search, Vernon Haley, Metro vice president for Student Services, chose Mary Anne Romero as the new Director of Financial Aid. Romero, an Aurora resident who is replacing Interim Director Cindy Hajl, will start Sept. 18.

Haley said of the three finalists, Romero is the best choice because of her experience m financial aid and emphasis on student service. Romero " We think that she's the best fit for our current staff," he said. "Her management style will fit in." One of the first tasks Romero will be faced with is reconfiguring her staff and making recommendations on who, if anyone, should fill the places of the other two administrators who resigned May 31 . Romero said departmental reorganization is something she's had to do before at other colleges. She said she's also experienced in dealing with financial aid as a student, and

will work to make the process less frustrating. '1t's a delicate area that appears very involved and bureaucratic," Romero said. 'The importance is it's administrating federal dollars and we have to be accountable." Haley said Romero's attitude toward customer service helped her land the job. She beat out two other applicants recommended by the search committee. The original list of 19 applicants for the position was pared down to three by the Sept. 1 deadline, said Tom Gray, chairman of the search committee for the new director. He said the list was turned over to Haley for the final decision. Haley chose Romero late Monday.. 'The cream rises," Gray said. The committee spent the week of Aug . 20 interviewing five finalists. Although portions of the interviews were open to all students and faculty, Gray said few students s~owed up, including the

designated student representative for the committee. The student helped the committee screen the initial applicants, but didn 't provide representation during the interviews Gray said. "I gave him the schedule, he didn't say he was, or why he wasn' t coming," he said. The student representative did not respond to phone calls from The Metropolitan to inquire about his absence. Despite the poor turnout for the open interviews, Gray said the finalists were unanimously chosen by the committee. Romero's salary will be between $45,000 and $50,000 Gray said. Former Associate Directors Judith Lichtenfeld and Susan McGinley resigned after filing a compliant citing sex-discrimination and pay inequity against Metro. After a legal battle, which lasted 14 months, the case was settled out-of-court. Cheryl Judson, who held the position Romero will fill , was also a plaintiff.

FINISHED YET?: A student walks past loose chunks of concrete on the new steps in front of the Auraria Library.

Library steps near completion . Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN

After numerous delays, a new set of steps for the Auraria library is expected to be completed by Friday, said Kathy McNally, architect for the Facilities Management Division. McNally said the delays have been due to poor workmanship and the project should have been done before fall classes started. "It was a lot of bad work." McNally said. The cost of the stairs is approximately $57,000, according to Bill Trimble, construction and maintenance manager for facilities management. The steps at the front entrance of the library were originally torn out because of the metal nosing on the steps was deteriorating and posed a safety hazard. Metal nosing was used on steps in the past to provide more protection to the concrete as people walked on it, said Gary Browning, special projects manager of PCL Construction Services Inc., who was hired by Auraria to do the work. Browning said concrete is stronger today and applying metal nosing to steps is unnecessary. ''The old steps were a real safety and maintenance hazard," he said. ''The older steps just added to the risk of someone getting hurt and I don ' t think the campus

wants that." There was also a slope at the top of the steps causing water· to run into the library, McNally said. She said one end of the stairs has already been ripped out and replaced twice. Browning added that PCL put the steps in the wrong way. "We have a responsibility to do it the right way, so we ripped them out." McNally said Auraria has an agreement with the contractor, PCL Construction Services Inc., to redo any bad or inconsistent work at no extra cost, which the company did. Another factor in the delay is the return of fall classes. "We have been trying to work around the schedules of the students," McNally said, adding that use of jackhammers and other loud equipment has been avoided during busy campus hours. McNally said the last step in the construction will be adding the railing, which should be installed by the end of this week. In addition, the ramp for disabled students access to the library is also being remodeled and is expected to be done at the same time as the front steps, McNally said. This will be done by a separate contractor and the $200,000 ramp is being funded by the Americans with Disabilities Act, McNally said.

Students rally to save funding Chad Bardon Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

The METROPOLITAN

Tivoli summer business better than expected Nguyen Pontiere

Heated shouting matches captured the attention of a handful of students on campus at a "Death of Education" rally Wednesday. Nate Hall, last-year's president of the College Republicans chapter at Metro, made his opinion about those marching known. "How do you have an informed opinion by listening to this bullshit," he repeatedly shouted at a supporter of the rally. The United States Student Association led the march to the Capitol to protest proposed cutbacks in student loan and grant programs. Dominique Reneau, vice president of University of Colorado-Denver student government attempted to rally students on campus stating, "Let them know that we, the voters, are making a stand." Advocates of the march carried various signs that read, "classrooms are not a prison," or. "don't cut financial aid," and a large black coffin representing the "death" Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN of education.

'COFFIN' UP CASH: Students protesting financial cuts carry a coffin that represents the 'death' of higher education.

The METROPOLITAN Summer business was not as slow as expected, according to some Tivoli Student Union merchants. At the end of the spring semester, many merchants feared the lack of summer business, because not as many students would be on campus. Annette Holt, owner of The Bunker, a vintage clothing store located on the lower level of the Tivoli, said business was a lot better than expected. "It was not horrible," Holt said. "It was the first time the Tivoli has been used as a student union and we just had to adjust to the changes." A percentage of each merchant's annual income is applied to the student facilities bond, which pays for things such as the Auraria Child Care Center and student facilities at the Tivoli. During the last fiscal year, merchants contributed $1.2 million to the student bond fund and saved students $16 a piece in student fees per semester. according to Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union. She said the success of merchants can keep students fees at a minimum but will not lower the fees. Brad Cook, manager of Twist & Shout, agreed business was not as bad as predicted. Cook attributed much of the summer business to outside circumstances. "We received a lot of the summer business from the movie customers and a lot of great new music releases," Cook said. Warren Tepper. owner of the New York Deli, did not share the optimism of his fellow tenants. "We lost lots of money," Tepper said. "There were _very few students hanging around the Tivoli, but the movie theaters kept us alive." Rosemarie DelMonte, Auraria director of special projects, most merchants anticipated a decrease of student flow in the summer. "I am not a merchant, so I cannot speak from their perspective," DelMonte said. "But I think it will only continue to get better." Sandy Torres, the new marketing coordinator for the Tivoli, said she is developing a marketing plan for the Tivoli and hopes to get it done as soon as possible. "The Tivoli is one of the most unique buildings in the nation," Torres said. "I want to be able to work with the merchants and establish good relationships." Debbie Arseneau, owner of the Daily Grind, said that even though business was slow over the summer, tenants were able to regroup and develop new marketing ideas, such as one free hour of parking with a $3 purchase. Arseneau added the Daily Grind reduced staff before summer classes from an average of 15 employees to a "skeleton crew" of five. "It was not nice that it was slow, but it was nice to regroup and be able to think of plans for the new year," Arseneau said.

Auraria examines catering, tells New York Deli 'no' again Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

The New York Deli received a fair shake and was not named as a Tivoli caterer because their bid was poorly prepared, the Auxiliary Services Committee decided Sept. 7. At an Aug. 21 meeting of the Auraria Board, Tepper objected to the New York Deli and other Tivoli restaurants being excluded from catering contracts for parties of 25 or more in the student union. "A lot of people on the Auxiliary Services Committee don't like me because I speak out on what I see is wrong," he said. At the committee meeting Sept. 7, members of the Food Services Advisory Committee and Tivoli management responded to Tepper's allegations of unfair treatment. "The guidelines for the bidding process were unfair." Tepper said. "Only tenants who do full-service catering were allowed to bid. Most were excluded before the bidding began." Not so according to Phillip Bustos, Auraria director of student services. He says the New York Deli was allowed to bid. When Tepper insisted this was not

true, Barbara Weiske, director of the Tivoli and auxiliary services, pointed out that the original request for proposals allowed for full service caterers to bid as well as specialty caterers, such as Primo's Pizza and the Daily Grind. The catering contracts went to Biscuits and Berries, Pour la France and Garden Party. As of July 1, these three have the exclusive right to cater weekday events of 25 people or more in the Tivoli. "We have no problem with other caterers coming in," Tepper said. "But to be told we can't even compete is very unfair. This is America" Tepper has made two attempts to land a Tivoli catering contract; both of which failed. The New York Deli submitted a proposal, but it was turned down because of its high prices and incomplete information, such as provisions for a specialty menu and plans to obtain a liquor license, said Amy Haimerl, chairwoman of the food services committee. "Students had submitted complaints about their quality, prices and timing," she said. "My proposal was totally complete," Tepper said. He said the menu items selected by the food services committee for comparison with other caterers, such as

'They're out to make us look bad," Tepper said. In addition, Haimerl said Tepper approached the student committee on April 6 with the idea that all the Tivoli restaurants should submit a group proposal in order to keep catering within the facility. But when the proposal was submitted, again there was essential information missing. "The New York Deli, the Daily Grind and Primo's Pizza were the only ones involved," Haimerl said. 'There was a lack

of detail regarding price and who would provide what." The group proposal was turned down. Concluding a lengthy review of the procedure used in selecting the three Tivoli caterers, the Auxiliary Services Committee agreed that everything was in order. After the Aug. 21 Auraria Board meeting, Tepper threatened to sue. Now he says he will circulate a petition among students to gather support for the restaurant, and hopes to talk to Gov. Roy Romer. "They (the ASC) will see where opinions lie on this campus," Tepper said.

Students are qu/stioning the ben;flts of the new student bus-pass program and student representatives are trying to determine whether enough students will utilize it to make it worth the $15.41 per student. "I'm opposed to the many paying f~r the few," said Rudy Zehnder, student representative':to the Auraria Board for the University of Colorad<>-Denver. Some students have complained to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board about paying an additional fee for express and regional routes, according to Zehnder. Students are charged 50 cents per trip for express service and $1.50 per trip for regional routes. These· elements were listed on the referendum presented to students in April that passed by a vote of 2043 to 534. 'The main concern of SACAB is tracking ridership," Zehnder said. "I want it to be profitable for students and not funding for RTD, for less problems in parking and pollution." In the past, students paid $23 for monthly passes on local routes, $39 for express service passes and $63 for regional passes. A student who travels a Regional route to and from school three times a week all semester will spend $144 in additional charges plus the $15.41 fee. This is a savings of approximately $100 per semester. . A UCD student who lives in Boulder said he is being discriminated against, according to Zehnder, because he has to pay a supplementary fare to get to the Auraria campus.

Public safety coping with budget changes Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

A $28,000 cutback in Auraria's Public Safety budget has Chief Joseph Ortiz reorganizing his department. Even though the amount of the cutback seems significant, Ortiz said it will have no major impact and the services provided by APS will still be available. Even with the cutback, APS was able to replace its two older cars. Ortiz said the new cars are actually cheaper than the old ones because of lower maintenance costs. The forced restructuring of the police department is not negative, Ortiz said. "More people will be made generalists

instead of specialists, and that way we will utilize everyone and everyone stays up to date," he said. 'The officers will benefit from it and so will our clientele- the students." The pos1t1on of Manager of Community Services has been eliminated and the responsibilities of the position are now shared by other positions. Ortiz said the position was a temporary one and those duties are traditionally done by police officers. "When a presentation is given on crime prevention, it is generally better received by the public when given by a criminal specialist," he said. Ortiz also said that when taking the budget into consideration he needed to

look at what will be useful and what is necessary. He hoped to hire more personnel, instead he will concentrate on improving the efficiency of the employees he has. Better visibility of the officers is an issue on which Ortiz wants to put a major emphasis. "We put our student guards on bikes so now they can cover a larger area and I'm going to stress to officers to talk to people while out on their routes and get them (the officers) out of their cars more," Ortiz said. "Efficient visibility plays into scheduling and other internal things I need to take care of."

Don't fear people with AIDS, try to understand their pain I received a phone call a few weeks ago. A very dear friend from high school called me and said four words, "Joe Lee Amos died." That was the message she left on my answering machine. The stark-monotone directness of her message said so much more. To me it said, •Joe Lee Amos, our friend from high school died of AIDS. Why did it happen? Please help me to understand." I have no answer for her. I wish I did. Joe Lee Amos is no longer alive and that alone hits me like a brick, much less trying to understand why. People die and tor the most part society acknowledges the loss and goes on. Why should it be that with AIDS some members of society feel it is necessary to judge the person who dies rather than the disease that killed them? There are those who see -the cause of someone's death the ultimate issue. And if someone dies of AIDS then they must have been a bad person. What a bunch of rubbish! AIDS is a disease. Like cancer and

LOOKING AT LIFE Louis A. Landa

heart disease it can be prevented, but that does not make people who die from AIDS some sort of demon, just as it does not make people living with AIDS pariahs. Some people find it easier to cloister their minds to things they fear and do not understand. These are the people in our society who judge without understanding. They are quick to blame other people for having faults without acknowledging their own ignorance. It is unfortunate that people should be so afraid of AIDS. To a certain extent I can't blame them. I too, was afraid of AIDS and

the people who have it. I have another friend who is dying of the complications caused by this disease. I saw him in April. It was the first time I had seen him in over four years. He was thin and looked tired. I was worried about what I would say or how I would react when I saw him. I was afraid to give him a hug. I don't know why, I just was. I know you can't get AIDS that way, but still the apprehension remained. When he got out of his car and walked across the lawn toward me it was clear to see that he was the same person. I experienced the same joy in my heart that I always do when I see him. I felt the same love. We wrapped our arms around each other and held each other for a while. I think we both held each other as if it was the last time. It may have been. I encourage all of you to go beyond your fear of AIDS and embrace the idea that it is the disease that is cruel and unjust, not the people living with it.

My brief career as a double major Turned-off by the broaclcast faculty, student decides to study journalism from journalist Hey students! Considering a major in broadcasting? Fascinated by the fastpaced world of network news? Want to learn how to write and edit for radio and television? Then sign up for Journalism classes. You won't get what you need from Metro's broadcasting faculty. After two years of classes in the journalism department, I had foolishly made the assumption that the broadcasting faculty would maintain the same exacting standard and provide the same quality of education. Two weeks later I learned a hard lesson about making assumptions and the quality of education students can expect from Metro's broadcasting pro-

gram. On my first day of broadcasting classes this semester I was excited Here was the second major that would give me the edge I needed to land a job in the competitive field of journalism. Upon leaving Metro, I would be able to say to my prospective employer, not only can I write a mean story, I can produce it for broadcast. Would you like me to do a stand-up? My marketability would be assured. And yet, two weeks into my Broadcast Joumalism for Radio class, we had written no copy. Our teacher didn't ciscuss reporting practices or standards, he lectured straight out of the book, he i'Qade tasteless jokes about students. In beginning reporting classes. journalism students often write a story a week, reading one of Denver's two daily newspapers is a requirement. In contrast, my broadcasting teacher never mentioned listening to National Pl.Elie Radio, the eqt.ivalent of a ma;or daily for radio news. He made the statement, "For some reason, women donl seem to dowel in ra<io. They do better in television: Maybe he never is-

MY TURN Anne Hall

tens to NPR either. My favorite was when he told us that the Associated Press wire service didn't employ their own reporters. I'd hate to be the one to walk over to the AP bureau on Wazee Street and tell those folks they don't exist. Yes, the AP does employ reporters. as well as transmitting stories gathered from their member papers. But it was the teacher of my Introduction to Radio and Television class who prompted me to drop broadcasting altogether. Things were going smoothly until the day he decided to voice his biased opinions on the subject of print journalism. •Newspapers don't give news," he proclaimed to the 96 students in the class. "They give history." He went on to tell us that the only reasons certain freaks of nature still read newspapers are they like to read the comics and clip coupons. Also, since 70 percent of Americans list television as their primary news source, television has more credibility. You don't need to be a logician to see the fallacy. My purpose isn't to slam the electronic media Personaly, I reish the chance to work in a field that direclly affects the lives of so many Americans. And I'm glad that Metro recognizes the iq>ortance of media in our society by maintaining a broadcasting faculy as well as an excellent joum»

ism department. But whafs the point of having classes taught by teachers who are inexperienced, incompetent, or just plain wrong? So here's my advice to all those broadcasting hopefuls with stars in their eyes: Take reporting and editing from the Journalism department. The teachers, working journalists, will hold you to the highest standards of reporting. You'll learn to write, edit and most importantty, have a sense of ethics. Those skills are more likely to get you a job in any field related to media than what you WQn't learn in Metro broadcasting classes.

More than 12,000 people hit the streets showing support in the war against AIDS

eople from all walks of life showed their dedication to fighting AIDS Sunday, by participating in the eighth annual AIDS Walk Colorado at Cheesman

Park. More than 800 volunteers and 12.000 walkers contributed their time and money to support various AIDS organizations. On-stage actress Rosie Perez and other community leaders encouraged the mammoth crowd, before they began their I 0 kilometer walk lo City Park and back. While many walked in remembrance of loved ones who have been lost to AIDS, others trekked to raise AIOS' awareness. On the sidelines of the ever-flowing crowd. volunteers rallied walkers to keep spirits high. "If you get enough people to believe in something. there's a cure for everything," said AIDS Walk volunteer Madeline Nealy. Her enthusiasm pumped up the already optimistic walkers who participated in the walkathon. Nealy, whose brother is living with AIDS, has lost several friends to the virus. As she stood at the corner of Colfax Avenue and Columbine Street, Nealy pronounced her hopes for the future of AIDS awareness and gave thanks to the walkers fol'. their participation 路路 The Auararia Walk Team, the third largest in the fundraising event, with over 250 members, demonstrated the campus' devotion to AIDS awareness. Metro freshman Vikki Cooper-Bland walked路 in memory of her two uncles that have died of AIDS.

Afler the painful deaths, Cooper-Bland reali zed how important it was to raise AIDS awareness and openness, because she was one of the last to learn of her uncle's terminal illness. ''Peopie are so secreuve. when they should be open about it (AIDS)." she said. "I think people see us here and they think not only that gay people are interested in finding a cure for AIDS, but everybody." After the two to three-hour walk, the participants enjoyed refreshments and music. The pledges of all the walkers, which to~led over $I million, greatly exceeded last year's total of more than $650,000. Auraria Walk Team Captain Lisa Scott said she was very impressed by the turnout. "I'm proud that so many people gave up their Sunday to benefit AIDS. People talk about how there is so much selfishness in the world. Today pointed out how selfless people are," Scott stressed. Carrying an Auraria Walk Team sign high above her head with a red ribbon pinned to her shirt, Metro Student Government President Safa Sulieman was proud to be a part of such a powerful event. "All the stereotypes and stigmas that are usually placed on everyone ... were gone,'' she said of the atmosphere during the walk. Auraria Walk Team member, Eddie Moreno, characterized the essence of the day: "This is not about AID路s . it's about togetherness.''

The Latino Education Coalition, a Denver organization working for the educational needs of Latinos in Denver Public Schools, will again use Auraria as a starting point for a march on the Capitol. Friday on the lawn south of the Plaza Building the Coalition will host an educational forum. Working closely with Metro faculty and students, the coalition will conduct a forum on a variety of topics highlighted by a panel discussion including Irv Moskowitz, superintendent of Denver Public Schools. . The forum begins at 9 a.m. and runs through 11 a.m. Maria Corral, president of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, will open the forum welcoming the participants to campus. MEChA is a campus organization promoting the needs of ~tino students at Metro.

Corral said this year's gathering is designed to stress the positive. She said that encouraging students to walk out of school last year received mixed emotion from people in the Latino community. 'We are hoping that with this forum things will have a more positive impact," Corral said. She said that the focus of the Coalition is on developing positive solutions to the needs of Latino students in Denver schools. The Coalition and DPS are conducting month-long "Teach-In" activities in Denver schools. They will commemorate Mexican Independence that is celebrated on Saturday. Approximately 200 people from the Latino community will participate in this program. It is designed to stress the importance of Mexican Independence and the contribution of Latinos to the community. Last year the Coalition held a rally on the Auraria Campus that had approximately 1,000 participants.

Joey, a relative newcomer to the hacker-circle, accesses the garbage file of a giant corporation one night. He copies parts of the file and before he knows it, he is dragged off by the FBI along with his beloved computer named "Lucy." It turns out that poor Joey, who now has to attend support group meetings because he suffers withdrawal symptoms without "Lucy," has accessed more than just garbage. But what? While eluding authorities, the six hackers have to play along with a mean spirited ex-hacker, named The Plague (Fisher Stevens). who has set off a dangerous virus program to cover vital information now in the hackers' hands.

Elaborate computer-screen art turns the big screen into a bubbling chaos of numbers and symbols, malcing the viewer part of the information stream.

'Empire Records' another 'X' flop Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

f â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘

ust when I thought Hollywood had produced the stupidest Generation X film possible (remember Mad Love?), it goes and outdoes itself yet again. I am speaking of the Regency Enterprises {ilm Empire Records, written by Carol Heikkinen and directed by Allan Moyle The movie is about a day in the life of eight employees at a music store. The Film opens with Lucas, played by Rory Cochrane, being allowed to close the store for the first time. While he is hanging out in his boss' office, he discovers that the store is about to be sold to a giant corporate chain. He cleans out the register and heads for Atlantic City to try and make enough money to prevent the takeover. Needless to say, he loses the money. When the store opens the next day, Joe. the manager, played by Anthony LaPaglia, discovers the loss of the money and forces Lucas to spend the rest of the day on the couch while he tries to think of a way to cover the losses. The rest of the story is a twisted mess of subplots. Subplot one has employee A.J., played by Johnny Whitworth, as an aspiring artist who is torn between his love for the store and his need to pursue his art education; all the while trying to come up with the best way to proclaim his undying love for Corey, played by Liv Tyler. Subplot two has Corey dealing with her speed addiction, her crush on Rex Manning, and her overachiever complex as she is about to head off to Harvard and leave her friend Gina, played by Renee Zellweger. In subplot three, Gina, dealing with her jealousy of Corey, copes by having sex with washed-up, ex-teen-idol Rex Manning, played by Maxwell Caulfield, who is at the store to promote his comeback album, subplot four. Subplot five has maniacally

depressed, bald and sarcastic Debra, played by Robin Tunney, dealing with the after effects of a botched suicide attempt the night before. To flesh out the cast is Mark. played by Ethan Randall, who runs around like an idiot and screams a lot; and Coyote Shivers who plays guitar and swaggers. Did you get all that? Those who choose to spend money on this film will be treated to another look at how stupid the youth of today are; how trivial their existence is and how lacking of meaning their lives are. But hey, stick Liv Tyler on the screen in her underwear and slap a cool soundtrack on the film, and the uneducated masses will line up to see it, right? Wrong! This cool-tune/naked-babe movie-making philosophy wasn' t enough to keep Mad Love in the theaters for any real length of time, and it won't work here. People under the age of25 aren' t as insipid as Hollywood would like us to be. LaPaglia and Cochrane are bright spots in an otherwise dismal production, however, their characters are written to be way too stupid and one-dimensional for even Sir Lawrence Olivier to be able to lend a human portrayal to them. Point being, skip this and go see something else.

Metro held on to the lead until the second half when USC exploded and kept the Roadrunners winnless on the season. USC started its offensive by hitting a

goal from inside the penalty box eight minutes into the second. Three minutes later, USC claimed the lead with another goal inside the penalty box. With the 2-1 lead, the Indians never slowed the pace and scored twice more, one with only two minutes left on the clock. Crookham attributes the second half slip to impatience. "Mentally, we didn' t play for 90 minutes," Crookham said. "We made poor decisions that left us open to counter attacks."

Even with a 0-3 start Crookham is not losing confidence in his players. "We're not going to make any big adjustments, everybody is playing well at their positions," Crookham said. USC and Metro took 17 shots apiece and Joey Velotta, filling in for injured Sersante, made five saves. For the first time this season, no Roadrunner was issued a red card. Metro hosts Regis on Sept. 14 then sets out on a four game road trip that ends at the Air Force Academy on Sept. 23. The trip includes a stop at undefeated Colorado
