Employees say air making them sick Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

If you go to the student health center healthy, you may leave sick. At least that is what some of the employees there say. The student health center is having an indoor air-quality screening done after employees brought the problem of stale air to the center director's attention. For at least a year, center Director Stephen Monaco has been working with Auraria to try to get better airflow into the center. "I would say all our employees would concur with the fact that our air quality should be improved within this suite," Monaco said. He could not make a statement regarding the fact that some employees are attributing illnesses to the air quality in the clinic. 'There is nothing that I can quantify," he said. At least two employees of the health clinic attribute a detrimental affect on their health to the air quality in the center. "I think there is something in our air here that is affecting several of the staff members as well as it could affect the patients," said Martha Eaton, a medical service specialist. "I have had documented

asthma in the past, but this year I've had more documented sinusitis then I've ever had in my life."

J a n e t Jaramillo, a cashier for the center Monaco agrees with Eaton . "I've never been so sick as when I started working here," she said. A few weeks ago when construction was being done above the center, three people fell ill due to the dust and dirt particles in the air. Also concerning the employees was the asbestos removal done across the hall from the center. Jaramillo was uncomfortable with the removal at first. After the center hired an outside occupational and environmental specialist from University Hospital to oversee the project, she said she felt better about it. "I think we all have a lot of faith in the guy," she said. "What I'm still uncomfortable about is the fact that we're jam-packed into this

tiny area and the bad air. I think we're all sick because of it, I really do." Jaramillo said. Dr. Michael Kosnett, the specialist, met with employees in the health center for more than an hour to explain the asbestos removal process and answer questions employees had. Monaco said he hired Kosnett because he "wanted to feel confident that all the steps we were being told were in place; were in fact adequate and actually being done." American Environmental Management removed the asbestos and monitored the air throughout the process and had no problems. Kosnett also agreed that the removal was safe and followed state regulations as well as the added safety measures requested by Monaco. John Lanning, a professor from the Chemistry Department at University of Colorado-Denver, is conducting the indoor air screening at the health center. "It's a very preliminary screening, just to see if there is a possibility of a build-up of pollutants," Lanning said. "My perception is that the ventilation is quite good. I have not detected any unusual odors coming from the ventilation." He added that he had only been to the center five times during his sampling from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16.

"Indoor air quality is a very difficult area because you're dealing with people's perception," Lanning said. "Individuals react very differently to various levels of materials in the air." Lanning said that the testing he did wouldn't add or take away from the perception of bad air quality. The health center's air intake is located near the loading dock area which could contribute to the odors in the center. Lanning said that this in itself is not a health hazard. "It does suggest that putting a loading dock next to the air intake does not make a lot of sense," he said. Alan Saville, an environmental protection specialist .with the Colorado Department of Health, said when there is an indoor air problem, the first place to investigate is the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, commonly referred to as HVAC. "Ventilation is important in hospitals and health clinics because the more stale air you have, the more the airborne bacteria and viruses can spread," Saville said. He also said that many times people think it's an air problem when it really is not. "Sometimes it is a psychosomatic thing, people are literally imagining Continued page 5

; Enrollment figures show downward trend Metro sees 8.8 percent decrease in students from high school despite prediction of boom Christine Richardson The METROPOLITAN

Enrollment at Metro has decreased by 3.7 percent since Fall 1994, according to the Department of Institutional Research. The Census for Fall 1994 and 1995 Student Profile Summary, released this month, shows Metro's head count dropped from 17,461 in 1994 to 16,815 in 1995, a decrease of 646 students. This is the fourth year in a row that fall enrollment has decreased. "I think that enrollment has a lot to do with the economy," said Ellen Boswell, assistant director for Institutional Research. "When the economy is good, enrollment is down. When the economy is bad, enrollment goes up." "We knew something was up in the second week of August," Registrar Tom Gray said. "Up until the first week of August we were equal, if not higher than last year's enrollment. During the second week it dropped and that's when we started contacting students who enrolled but did not register." He said enrollment slightly improved from August to September. Gray said Metro contacted the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado-Denver and both colleges were experiencing similar decreases in enrollment. Metro experienced a 2.5 percent decrease in full-time student enrollment and a 5.1 percent decrease in part-time enrollment.

"Students' needs may have changed," Gray said. "In today's economy students may find that they want to work instead of going to school. Or maybe it is just too expensive to go to school." The number of students coming to Metro from high school decreased by 8.8 percent. 'That number is a concern to us because of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's report of an enrollment increase in this area this year," Gray said. "We have to find where these students are going." Even though Metro's enrollment decreased, the temporary classrooms near the Arts building were still necessary, Gray said. "The buildings were necessary because of the construction going on in the Plaza building and because of Metro's attempts to keep classes small." Metro offers almost 2,300 classes and having 646 fewer students won't affect the need for a class, Gray said. Metro plans to conduct a phone survey to contact students who attended classes in the Spring semester and did not return in the Fall. Metro will also form an

Enrollment Management Task Force to look at enrollment issues and existing data. "We must do more image promotion to tell the public that Metro exists and that it is a quality institution that can meet their needs," Gray said. Other area colleges have experienced different enrollment trends. Colorado State University has experienced approximately a two percent increase in enrollment, from 21,461 total students last Fall to 21,914 total students this Fall, said Marissa Chapman, an administrative assistant for CSU's Institutional Research Department. Over 16,400 of those total students are 路in-

state, full-time students. The University of Colorado-Boulder's total enrollment dropped from 24,548 in 1994 to 24,440 in 1995, a .44 percent decrease. The percentage of Colorado residents enrolled at CU dropped .36 percent since last year. There are 7 ,826 non-resident students and 16,614 residents in 1995, compared to last year's 7,772 non-residents and 16,676 residents. Red Rocks Community College expects to stay close to what its enrollment was last Fall, at approximately 7,000 total students, said Susan Kumpf, a program assistant at the college's registrar's office.

Forum addresses conflict between Arabs, Jews Discussion runs srrwothly despite threats of violence if Arab Americans ofAuraria refused to cancel Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

Can Arabs and Jews live together in peace was the question discussed at the Arab and Jewish Dialogue on Sept. 21. "Racism is alive and well," were the opening comments that moderator, Umna Suleiman offered. A crowd of 50 people attended the event at St Cajetan's Center with a panel of five - three Jewish Americans representing lsr;i.el and two Arab Americans representing Palestine. Safa Suleiman, president of Metro's student government and secretary of the Arab American club, was the first panelist to speak. She said that the hurt in her people came from the dehumanization by the Israeli government. "Because of this, the whole essence of humanity has been diluted," she said. Panelist Haitham Ali spoke about justice. He lived in Israel for 12 years, three of which he spent in prison. · "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," he explained. He believed both Palestinians and Israelis should have equal power in representation and decision making. According to Ali, 88 percent of Palestinians living in Israel over the age of 18 have been in prison. He said he

believed that if both Israelis and Palestinians want to live together, it will happen. "Justice is a concept that is colored," said panelist Dave Hornberg, a Jewish Metro student. Muslims and Jews are a proud people, he added. Hornberg went on to say that justice is a matter of perception, and perception is reality. For the Jews, justice means finally having their land. For the Palestinians, justice means that they would finally have their land back. Bringing together younger generations of Israelis and Palestinians is the first step in what needs to take place across the planet, Hornberg said Emily Saslak, a Metro student who 4 works in the financial-aid department, Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN said, "It's our duty as people who care for human rights and justice to keep our 'RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL': Metro student Umna Suleiman opens a truths." forum to discuss the conflicts between Arabs and Jews during Arab Both peoples need to see how they are Awareness Week. the same, not different, she added.

Student representative facing impeachment ::-

The only Metro student involved in a practical joke aimed at Metro's Student Government Assembly last week is facing possible impeachment from SGA. A Student Government representative of the Community College of Denver and four from University of Colorado-Denver, collaborated in organizing the prank in which a fake murder scene was placed in front of the Metro student government office in the Tivoli. In a meeting Sept. 21, the seven voting members of SGA recommended unanimously to impeach Amy Haimerl, student representative for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, for being present during the prank. Other options such as mediation or Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN retribution in the form of volunteer work NOT LAUGHING: Student governwere rejected by Metro's student government is trying to impeach Amy ment and Haimerl Haimerl over last-week's prank.

The tape outline of a person holding a chance during the hearings, which he broken baseball bat lying in front of the guessed could start in "a couple of weeks." The practical joke, intended to draw office is long gone, but feelings of anger about the prank flared up again during the Metro's Student Government closer to the two other colleges' student governments, meeting. "To the individual who views it as a was perceived as ill-timed and not funny joke, I'm asking, ' what is the punch because SGA members felt threatened by a line?"' said Lisa Scott, vice president of Metro student. Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria Public Student Services for SGA, to a student who stood up to say that most students Safety, said no reports were made and he advised members of student government thought of it as a simple prank. Scott, the first to see the outline, said on how to deal with what they described as during the meeting that she was deeply "disruptive behavior." Meanwhile, Haimerl maintains that affected by the joke. After the vote, a visibly shaken her "involvement" was nothing more than Haimerl called the meeting "completely witnessing the practical joke by chance. "I worked late," she said, "(and) saw orchestrated," adding that people who spoke in her favor were cut off repeatedly what my friends were doing.

things," Saville said. Auraria has been working with the clinic over the past year trying to determine the proper airflow for the clinic, Monaco said. "They have made adjustments each time we spoke with them as far as trying to get us more air exchange in this space," he said. Ray Allen, Auraria manger of environmental health, said that HVAC people

came in and upgraded the amount of fresh air going into the clinic in August. They also changed the timers that run the fans to stay on for 24 hours. Allen said that clinic employees also contribute to the problem by shutting off their thermostats and turning off the airflow. He said they are looking at all things that affect their work environment at the clinic to determine if the it can be made better.

Romer wants exit exams at colleges Frank Kimitch The METROPOLITAN

WE LOVE SlARVING SlUOENTS

Standardized college entrance and exit exams for Colorado college students could be in the future if Gov. Roy Romer has his way with the legislature next year. Romer announced Sept. 11 at a meeting of the Colorado Commission for Achievement in Education that he wants to introduce legislation that would give standardized tests to all entering and exiting students at Colorado's institutions of higher education. 'There is no one standardized test that will accurately measure all the students at Metro," said Metro President

Sheila Kaplan. "If you have a 19-year-old who takes IO years to graduate and is 29 when they graduate, how can you tell if their advances are through Kaplan school or life experiences?" Kaplan said she thinks Romer is trying to gauge the college's performance and establish a guide for making choices.

The choices Kaplan referred to are the ones made by the consumers in the market for an education - students, parents, the public and the legislature. The test will attempt to answer questions about comparative quality of education, "value added" benefits and allocation of state resources, Kaplan said. "What we're looking at doing is trying to provide good consumer info for students about Colorado's schools," said Geri Reinardy, external relations officer at the Commission. The tests would assess skills such as communication, writing, math and civics. Continued page 7

Because of our size and our exclusive focus on serving the needs of educational and research communities, TIAA-CREF's costs are among the lowest in the insurance and mutual funds industries. 1 In fact, Morningstar, Inc. - one of the nation's leading sources of variable annuity and mutual fund information - says, "Size isn't a constraint; it...enables CREF to realize a remarkable economy of scale.''2 According to Morningstar's data, CREF's "minuscule" 0.31% average fund expense charge was less than half that charged by comparable funds. 3 TIAA's traditional annuity also charges no fees

aside from a very modest operating expense of 114 of 1% of annuity assets. Interest and dividends are reported after all operating costs have been deducted.

Simple system for curriculum changes Travis Henry The METroPOLITAN

After much paperwork and debate in the Faculty Senate, American Baseball History-HIS 353 is now available to everyone who wants to know more than Dante Bichette's batting average. Before classes such as Baseball History become a reality, they first must pass through the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee. Metro's departments that would like to add new courses to the curriculum should have an easier time thanks to an online simplified curriculum change program the committee put in place last year. "Over the years everybody has complained about the curriculum process," said Doug Cawley, chairman of the committee. "We have now simplified it as much as possible." The new program has necessary documents in place and is on-line for departments to use when they are requesting curriculum changes. The old program required departments to file a plethora of un-needed documents for every request. "Departments used to have to send every document involved with any curriculum through the process," Cawley

said. "Now they can just access the document that pertains to their request. It cuts down on half of what they have to do." Once a course is proposed by a department it goes to the School Curriculum Committee, the dean of the school and then to the Faculty Senate If approved unanimously the request then heads to Academic Affairs and ultimately the State Board of Trustees, which is similar to the University of ColoradoBoulder's Board of Regents, but governs only four state colleges in Colorado. The four state colleges are Adams, Western, Mesa and Metro. If a course is approved without a unanimous vote, the course then heads to the Faculty Senate which votes on the curriculum change before sending it to Academic Affairs. One course, Multicultural Service Learning-PSY 317, faced that challenge last year after the Curriculum Committee failed to approve it unanimously. "That class seemed to me to be more multicultural than all the other ones we have," Cawley said. "Some of the people on our committee thought it was too broad because it was too multi." The course was eventually approved

Pool leak slowing Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Facilities Management reports that the water leaking from the pool has been reduced to almost zero in recent months. John lsmert, an engineer for Facilities Management, said the leaking was controlled by putting calcium in the water. The calcium builds up on the inside of the porous pipes, reducing the amount of water that escapes. The leaks are in the pipes that return chemically treated and heated water to the pool. The pipes are under the cement deck which makes monitoring how much water is leaking out difficult. This however, is a temporary solution because when the pool is shut down for yearly maintenance, the pipes will be cleaned out and the scaling removed,

Ismert said. The pool is scheduled to be shut down next summer for two or three months so that a new gutter system that returns water to the pool can be installed along with other repairs. · The pool began leaking sometime in or before 1991. Ismert said that facilities management first asked the state for money to repair the pool in 1991. The state legislature appropriated $220,000 to repair the pool. Auraria had the pool inspected in December 1993. Fred Grutzmacher, president of American Leak Detection, said the pool was leaking like a sieve when he inspected the pool. Exact figures on how long the pool has been losing water or how much water the pool has lost have not been recorded.

New system makes changes easier From page 8 by the committee. When a course is added to a department's curriculum, students who were enrolled before the addition are not responsible for it. Students have no power to request

course additions besides going to their department and requesting a faculty member to take up their cause. Most recommendations by the committee are followed, but the final say is always from the State Board of Trustees. The only items that go before the board are major changes in curriculum.

ThcMmlOPOUTAN SEPTEMBER 29. 1995

Greed transcen·ds race, gender Going back to college after 30-odd (very odd) years has been, in many ways, the fuHillment of a dream that I had given up as dead years ago. In my dream, I would become a contributing member of an academic community that taught and practiced honesty, humility, tolerance, and fairness. It would appear that the young are not the only ones who fall victim to naive idealism. The recent story on Dr. Mascarenas (The Metropolitan, Sept. 22) tells a tale that I wouldn't have thought possible on a college campus in the 1990s. What emerges from the article is a portrait of a woman who has entered, via Academia, the Elite. She is a full professor at a large (albeit iinancially challenged") state college. She apparently is neither a wife nor a mother and has managed to spend most of her adult life in the rarefied atmosphere of Academia - far from reality. From a certain feminist point of view, she has made it. However, rather than being grateful that she lives in a culture that allows individuals, reg~rdless of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. to express themselves as they choose, and · to set and achieve their own goals, rather than helping others to succeed as she has, she apparently is teaching racism under the guise of the generally discredited "politics of the oppressed and the powerless." Dr. Mascarenas apparently sees no problem with stereotyping and intolerance, as long as it ~plies to white males. I feel ~orry for the unfortunate student who doesn't agree with her extreme point of view, for she admits to having a double standard that is biased against them. Dr. Mascarenas' racist double standard seems to apply in the areas of materialism and "greed," too. As a member of the Elite, she apparently owns or is in the process of acquiring

MY TURN Michael Obemdorf ownership of her own house. This is something that many Americans can only dream of doing. The idea, too, of only one person occupying a whole house in this day of overcrowding and homelessness, can easily be perceived as simple greed. I would also be greatly surprised to find out that her house does not contain a large number of expensive material objects such as a television (or several), a VCR, a stereo/CD player, a tape recorder, a computer (with a printer?), a good camera, rooms full of store-bought furniture, a coffee maker and perhaps a microwave. It's likely too, that she has enough clothes so that she can wear something different each day of the week. And if her car is less than five-years-old, it probably cost as much as her parents might have paid for the house she grew up in. It would seem, then, that Dr. Mascarenas is about as materialistic as the rest of us, more than some, less than others, no better, no worse, simply hypocritical. Greed, as she defines it (some might be able to discern the difference between greed and ambition), appears to be another of her characteristics, again, not a trait limited to white males only. In the article, Dr. Mascarenas unabashedly announces that she is writing not one, but two textbooks. As any student who has ever paid the outrageously inflated prices charged for texts today should know,

writing a textbook is one of the best money-makers there is in Academia. The dream, of course, is for your text to become a standard and then a classic, hereby setting you up for life (some might say, on the backs of students). Unless Dr. Mascarenas is planning on giving away these books (and an autobiography - she's not only self-serving, but self-centered!), I think we can dismiss the charges of greed as a case of the pot and the kettle. To imply that materialism and greed are limited to one group that is defined by its gender and skin color, is sexism and pure, simple racism and has no place on a college campus. In closing, I would like to ask Dr. Mascarenas just who she thinks she is? Does she believe that her position as a member of the Elite gives her the right to tell the vast majority of the people in this country, people of every description, that their morals and values are worthless and unacceptable and that they don't have a culture ? When, pray tell, did God die and leave this arrogant and phony Elitist, this hypocritical racist in charge? I must have been out of town that day and missed the announcement. It is disturbing that Dr. Mascarenas and her ilk, self described "malcontents; self-righteously discontented though they may be, willingly swill up the benefits of their positions like pigs at the public trough. It is even more disturbing that this small group of extremists has come to dictatorially dominate social thinking on many campuses, including ours. However, that is a subject for another time. Michael Oberndorf is a Metro student majoring in anthropology.

"MY TURN" is available for all Metro students, faculty and administrators to offer opinions on issues of importance to the campus.

Professors' views too simplistic One quick question for the good doctor Mascarenas, don't you think ifs a bit offensive, ignorant and insensitive to label differing opinions as a, "White mind-set based on materialism, individuality and greed." What you are saying in fact is that you don't hate white people, you just hate the way they think, and anybody who disagrees with you must be backward, barbaric and unenlightened. How civilized is that, and why is your Inaccurate, generalization of "white mind-ser any less racist than any number of racial slurs? There are three subjects which I would like to address in brief. First, there is no such thing as a "White Culture". There are American, Russian, German, Italian, French, English, Ukrainian, Croatian, Montenegrin, etc. cultures. Search around and you will find that each is very distinct, and rich in its own way. It is insulting for you to clump such unique civilizations together into one evil conglomerate. Secondly, your attempt to demonize whites and their "mind-ser is typical, and unjustified. You are not differentiating the good from the bad. For every Hitler or Stalin "White Culture• has produced it has produced a thousand enlightened revolutionaries and geniuses along the lines of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Beethoven,

Shakespeare, Galileo, Copernicus, Marx, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc. There Is a simplistic justification for your bias in the Sept 22 issue of The Metropolitan, which states that it is good that your views are expressed along with the "racisr views of institutionalized white professors. It is my belief, naive perhaps, that the goal is some semblance of objectivity on all sides of an issue. If not, open racists have free license to pound their views into the minds of impressionable college students! Finally, I would suggest that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones at other cultures. After all, every closet has its hidden garbage. I refuse to let America fictionalize, and to the extent that I am able, I will fight this "Balkanization of America" on every front; even confronting a well respected professor If need be. We Americans need cooperation in this crucial transitional period in our country's history. The challenge of racial disharmony is extremely infectious, yet demands the most subtle medicines, of which "The Blame Game" is not one.

路3 11's new album shines s Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

ega-playing rockers 311; are flying up the charts with their new self-titled album, 311. 1be members of311 grew up in Omaha, Neb. playing for different cover bands and formed the band in 1990. From there they made a couple of homemade demos and cassettes which were sold across the United States. It was not until 1992, when they relocated to Los Angles, that they were signed by a record company, shortly after the release of their debut album Music. In 1992, 311 released a second album Grassroots. In 1994 the band's latest album, 311 , was released and from there 311 's music really hit the ceiling. New to the main-stream, 311 plays songs about unity and living life in a more positive way. Comprised of Chad Sexton (drums), Timothy Mahoney (guitar), P-Nut (bass), SA Martinez (vocals) and Hexum - 311 fuses hard rock, funk, rap and reggae into a potent musical phenomena full of energy. 311 members have covered a lot of territory since the band's formation. The band played its first gig opening for Fugazi in 1990. Since then the band has put out one album per year since 1993 and tours almost non-stop. A goal that 311 had for its first album, Music, was to take rap and make it musical. Grassroots focuses on growing up slowly as a band, the right way, from the ground up. 311, the band's latest album offers a definitive view of the musical forces that make the band so unique.

One positive thing drummer Sexton reflects back on, he laughs, is in 1993 they were playing gigs for "two people," and now they are playing for anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 people every night One common misinterpretation of the name 311 is that the letter k is the eleventh letter in the alphabet, and eleven three times could be misinterpreted as KKK (Ku Klux Klan), Sexton said. 'We are totally against KKK. and would never have anything to do with that," Sexton barked. In their free time while touring, "We enjoy playing Sega on the tour bus. If we are in the city for a day off, we'll check out the city, but we mostly smoke pot and play Sega," he said with a smirk. The cover of the album, 311, displays images of aliens and strange formations on Mars. This cover was chosen because the band believes there is other life-forms in the universe. Sexton shared his views, "I believe in aliens and the conspiracy that the government is trying to cover it up." Because of the technology that is available through higher intelligent beings, he said, "It's a whole big scam." It goes from aliens, to a big new world order, Sexton points out. "We believe that aliens have communication at all times with a section of the government that is very secret." Aliens aside, Sexton explained that 311 writes songs about unity. "We are positive with our lyrics and Jive in a positive way. When people in the band are thinking negative, we help them out in a positive way."

GRASSROOTS: 311 brings their mixture of rock, funk, rap, reggae music and positive lyrics to Denver. 311 will perform in Denver Friday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. at The Mammoth Events Center. Tickets are $13.75. Call 83~TIXS.

SC~ N{ Love Lies Speak Rabid Records

he m

sophoo

album, Speak, from Boulderites Love Lies showcases the band's versatility. The CD offers a little bit of everything, from country twangy backbeats to hard-core thrashy intros. Speak is a collection of diverse musical styles sewn together with biting guitars and powerful vocal melodies. Recorded in May and June of 1995 at Club Dog Studios in Boulder. and also at Fanfare, in Golden, Speak was produced by grammy nominated artist Todd Buffa. The really catchy tracks on the CD are few and far between. The title song, "Speak'', is a dreamy, countryesque love song that pronounces the talent of vocalist Christian Dicharry. "Everything" is a rather simple poppy-rock tune with a good beat in which the drumming of Donovan Stuart really stands out "Ball Inside" is a sultry, soft-song that creates a dreamy, floaty feeling. The rest of the tracks are a little too repetitious. Several start out very well with thrashy guitars, but this isn' t kept up throughout the songs. Instead, the drowning vocals take over and leave the listener wanting more. It's hard to label Love Lies because the band uses so many different musical styles, but I'd say they're a little grunge, a little country and a lot of plain old rockn-roll. Catch Love Lies at their CD release party and performance with Sympathy F and the Christines, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. at The Ogden Theatre.
