Student faces charges in sex assault Lakewood police arrest man in investigation of attack on female Metro student Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

According to a female Metro student, upon leaving an evening class on Sept. 26, she was assaulted by an exboyfriend at his condominium in Lakewood. Ross William Johnson, a communications multimajor at Metro, was arrested in connection with the assault Sept. 27. Johnson received a misdemeanor summons Monday charging him with one count of third degree sexual assault, two counts of third degree assault and one count of false imprisonment, said Detective Mike Powell of the Lakewood Police Department. The victim who asked not to be identified, left her class and saw her assailant waiting by his vehicle while walking to her car with a classmate. Her classmate said she heard the victim say, "Oh God, there he is." Police reports stated that he asked her to go over to his house and look at a new stereo system. She agreed, but

wanted him to give her a ride to her car so she coulcli follow him. He refused and instead took her to his home. She said that she was not afraid of him because he hadn't done anything violent in the past. "He kept promising me 'yeah, I'll take you back to your car in a little while' and as the night progressed he said 'well, I'll get you to school in the morning'," she said. Johnson According to police reports the assailant took off his clothes and asked the victim to rub some cream on an injured knee. Later the man proceeded to kiss the victim roughly and give her "big uncomfortable bear hugs." He

became aggressive when she refused to kiss him back and threw her on the couch causing pain to her elbow. The report also stated that the assailant bit her nose and bit her breasts through her clothing. She said she told her assailant that what he was doing was illegal and that no meant no. After about four hours, the victim went out to her assailant's truck to get some tobacco and asked a neighbor to phone police. "The Lakewood cops were absolutely splendid ... and it was a pleasure to deal with them," the victim said. The victim was treated and released from Lutheran Hospital for bruises, a small cut on her nose and abrasion on her right elbow. The victim said she met Johnson last August and that they dated off and on for about five months, the last time in February. "I had not physically laid eyes on him since then," she said. "We talked on the phone once a month." Johnson refused to comment to The Metropolitan.

Auraria students divided on O.J. verdict Many say that prosecution failed to present a strong enough case to convict Simpson Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN Student reaction to the verdict of the O.J. Simpson murder trial was mixed. Over 50 students gathered in the Tivoli's television lounge Tuesday and watched as the decision was read. The jury of 10 women and 2 men took four hours to find Simpson "not guilty" of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in June of 1994. ''The big. word for today is acquitted," said J. Wakeen Mitchell, a junior at the University of Colorado-Denver. Mitchell said he thought both sides presented key evidence, but felt the defense was stronger. Bruce Kirshenbaum, a sophomore at Metro, disagreed with the jury verdict, saying problems in Los Angeles brought about the verdict. "I really believe he was · guilty," he said. Metro junior Lisa DeVries said she had mixed ft:elings about the decision. She

was happy that the verdict was "not guilty" because she thought there was reasonable doubt, but she also had the victims in her mind. "I really feel bad for the families," she said. There were also conflicting feelings for Carol Jackson, a junior at Metro. "I'm kind of in between," she said. "Personally, I don't think they convinced me either way." Jackson said she thought it was better to go with "not guilty" since there was a lack of proof that Simpson was guilty. Metro senior Hai Nguyen was one who disagreed with the verdict. John McDonough!The METROPOLITAN "I will always think he is guilty," he said.

Tuition increase lower this year Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

The annual increase of in-state college tuition in Colorado next year is expected to rise less than half the amount of previous years. On Sept. 7, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education proposed a budget request to increase the amount of tuition for resident students to 2.4 percent during the 1996-97 school year, CCHE documents state. Geri Reinardy, external relations officer for the Commission, said the increase in tuition, which rises with the rate of inflation, will be half of the 4.8 percent inflation rate of the state next school year if the proposal is accepted. "It's a really good deal. The state is saying, 'Hey, give students a break'," Reinardy said.

The proposed increase for non-resident students is expected to be 4.8 percent next year. The increase for the 1995-96 school year was 4.4 percent. Even though out-of-state tuition has been consistently rising, it has not impacted non-resident enrollment. Documents from the commission state that during the 1994-95 school year 20,390 out-of-state students attended college in Colorado. According to Lucas Buxman, executive vice president of the Colorado Student Association, students are fed up with the high increases of tuition every year. This year, Buxman said Colorado will be looking at a much less drastic hike. "They have prepared an excellent budget as far as I'm concerned," Buxman said. "Only a few years ago, tuition was going up double the inflation rate." Buxman said that prior to 1990 there wasn't an avid student voice. The student

association was formed in 1989, but only recently started to make an impact. CCHE documents state that the 199495 level of increase in tuition went up 5 percent for resident students in Colorado and the 1991-92 increase went up over 10 percent. Last year Colorado was ranked 48 out of the 50 states in funding higher education through tax dollars. "Students have enough to worry about with paying off financial aid, they don't need a huge hike in tuition," Buxman said. Buxman said there were thoughts the Commission's proposal would have problems because of it being so liberal. Before the request for an increase can be approved, it must be formally submitted to the Joint Budget Committee of the Colorado State Legislature. It is expected to be decided by March, Reinardy said.

The students of Community College of Denver will be deprived of their student newspaper for the second consecutive time. The publication is distributed twice monthly. The Rocky Mountain News reported last week that the halting of publication of The Community News was for the use of profanity. Jennifer Antonoff, editor in chief of The Community News, and Michael Poindexter, vice president of student services for CCD, both agree that the report was erroneous. . "The report from the (Rocky Mountain News) was false," Poindexter said. 'The paper was stopped for grammatical and punctuation mistakes." Explanations aside, The Community News is still not going to press. 'They are free to put out a newspaper anytime they' re ready as long as they follow the guidelines set forth by the student government," Poindexter said. Poindexter said the guidelines require the newspaper to be edited by a faculty advisor before it can get sent to press. Antonoff said that the last time The Community News tried to print a paper, Sept. 19, Student Activities ordered the production stopped. Poindexter said the paper failed to meet the deadline to have their work proof read by the faculty advisor. Antonoff said she is frustrated with the lack of cooperation she is getting from faculty and student government. 'They should leave us alone and let us do our work or train us if they don't like the work we're doing," she said. The Community News also lost its production manager, Matthew Megyesi, when he quit on Monday. "We lost our most valuable member because he finally got fed up," Antonoff said. The Community News staff will be deciding on how to deal with the reorganization and when it will finally go to press.

Bank won't give Metro students a break Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

While Metro and Community College of Denver students with checking accounts at FirstBank are paying up to $7 a month in service fees, Colorado State University and University of Colorado-Boulder students enjoy free checking. Steven Jay Hughs, a Metro Criminal Justice major, thinks it's an act of discrimination. He learned of the inequity from a friend with a FirstBank account. He first called his branch, then followed up with a letter to State Bank Commissioner Barbara Walker. Hughs' bank offered to refund sixmonths' worth of fees, but did not offer free checking. Hughs said he didn't accept the refund because it would compromise his position. "I was told the free checking was targeted to a certain class of people only ... not Community College or Metro students," Hughs said in a letter to Metro's student government. Hughs said he has been a customer of FirstBank since 1993 and obtained student loans from the bank. A representative from Walker's office told Hughs FirstBank was not subject to regulation by the commissioner's office, but to submit his complaint in writing and they would deal with it, said Hughs. Free checking is also offered to University of Colorado-Denver students if they set up their account through the -:..

Boulder branch, said Steve Niccoli, customer service representative at FirstBank of Boulder. "Our people often haven't bothered to ask which campus," said Dennis Barrett, president of FirstBank of Colorado. In response to Hugh's charges, Barrett said the decision to offer free checking to CU and CSU students had nothing to do with the income levels of students or their families. "If that was the case, we'd probably offer it to students of private schools, not public," Barrett said. "CU and CSU happen to play a very significant role in the overall economic activity of Boulder and Fort Collins, respectively," Barrett said in a letter to Hughs. "In the Denver metropolitan area, we do not believe that there is a compaHyoung Chang/The METROPOLITAN rable situation where any particular uniCASH CRUNCH: FirstBank won't give Metro students the free checking it versity or college plays such a significant offers to students at University of Colorado and Colorado State University. role in the economic activity of the community."

Students glimpse into future Alisha Woodson The METROPOLITAN

John SwiM'hc METROPOLITAN

FUTURE PLAN: TAG, lnc.'s Dave Jones diagrams his proposal for a new student information system Sept. 27.

Metro students will soon be able to access their personal student files from home using a personal computer and a modem. TRG, Inc. and Systems & Computer Technology Corp., have placed bids for installing Metro's new student information system. The companies demonstrated the systems at Metro last week. The system will allow students to access their financial aid, registration and admissions files from computers with modems or kiosks that will be installed on campus. Vernon Haley, Metro vice president of Student Services, said, "the system will simplify a lot of what is now done manually." This will decrease the amount of time it takes to obtain student information since the system will almost eliminate standing in lines. Haley said both companies seem very capable, and did a wonderful job in presenting the information. A committee headed by Leon Daniel, associate vice president of Information Technology, attended the sessions and evaluated the two companies. Their evaluations will be carefully read and a final decision is expected in the next two weeks, Haley said. Once the committee has made its recommendation to the President's Cabinet, the Cabiget will make the final

decision. Rick Legoza, senior regional manager for S&CT, Corp., said his company currently has software in Metro's Financial Aid and Finance offices. Legoza said the company has been doing business with Metro for more than seven years and he is impressed by the interest that the school's faculty has in the academic success of students. "I have been doing this for 14 years, and have never had an institution request a student session before," he said. Legoza said most institutions operate under an administrative vacuum with no student input or concern for student interests. Director of sales support for TRG, Inc., Sharon Grant said she is as excited about the system as Metro. She said the "student-centered approach will enable students to be actively involved in the business end of their academic careers." Not only will the system be used by currentlyenrolled Metro students, but those planning on attending the school will be able to access their files as well. Grant said the system will completely change the way Metr.o students access, obtain and utilize information. The system TRG, Inc. has designed for Metro will be able to schedule classes for students and use registration information to allocate classrooms, possibly ending the classroom utilization problems currently affecting Metro, Grant said.

Peace. In the United States, that is a word which we are fortunate enough to be able to step back and evaluate with cool detachment. However, those in other countries sometimes cannot be afforded that luxury. Two weeks ago, I was given a new insight to what the word really means. It was an experience I value greatly, and will never forget. When Metro Student President Safa Government Suleiman approached me and asked me to b~ a p~ Qf a panel for an Arab-Jewish dialogue, I was excited. I eagerly looked forward to "setting the record straight" about what the conflict in the Middle East was really all about. Then, when lyad Allis, president of ArabAmericans at Auraria, as well as the coordinator of this event, started getting threats warning him not to continue with Arab Awareness Week, my resolve to be a part of the panel strengthened. Then, after he was allegedly beaten and the panel itself was specifically targeted in those threats, I became incensed. Some suggested we cancel the discussion altogether in the interest of safety. I did not see this as an

Perception is not reality with African Americans On Monday, Oct. 16, over one million African American men will meet in Washington, D.C. for a march of solidarity. This march will prove to be a historic event and one that will be much talked about for years to come. Many people are not informed as to the goal or even the reason for a march of only African American men. Since the march on Washington in 1963 lead by Martin Luther King and others much has changed for black people in this country, and even more so for African American men. It may appear on the surface that all is well and progress is being made. For example the rise of more black politicians, talk

shows and multi-million dollar contracts for major athletes, etc. The perception is far from the reality besides the usual utterances of the gang, drug, unemployment and other ills that plague the African American community. There are other factors that are rarely mentioned (to a large extent). If one would take just a little time to do research, he or she would find some much appalling stats. In terms of numbers, for example, there are approximately 1.8 million more black women in this country then black men (roughly the entire population of Dallas, Texas). As far as college is concerned, black women outnumber black men

by an unbelievable figure; 320,000. Lastly, of all black men currently incarcerated, 75 percent or more are fathers. Truly the AfricanAmerican male in America is an endangered species. We must come together despite our differences, in a show of unity, recognition, and support. We as a people have reached a critical juncture in our struggle for liberation. If the black man does not take this time to assume responsibility, accountability and respectability, then we will continue to wallow in our own self-pity and dependency on the government.

Letters

Professor shouldn't teach racial hate Prof. Mascarenas, What has caused you to be so bitter? Why do you feel as you do? Why do you not only believe but teach that the White Mind-Set is one based on materialism, individuality and greed? The American Marketing Association has defined the American mind-set as being one of materialism and individuality. How can you feel that all other races are exempt, for if they were, how could they even survive? Welfare? Um, no, for that is materialism as well. Working, well that seems, as you have stated, to be greed ... hmm ... Publishing books, as you have stated you plan to do, hmm, individual speaks her mind and makes bucks .. hmm ... guess you are calling the kettle black, when you stated that the White Mind-Set is one based on materialism, individuality and greed. It is a shame that racial hate is being taught. Your teaching will only cause apathy from all European descendants! Do you feel all races, other than Whites, could live with this result? Who pays the majority of the taxes? Who wrote the Constitution? Who wrote the Gettysburg Address? Whose families fought and died on the Union Side of the Civil War? Who fought against Hitler? Just who do you think you are ostracizing by your action? What good will rewriting history do? How

do you feel justified in insulting all "White" people? I question not of your right to freedom of speech, but of your right to slander and pervert the accomplishments of all European descendants. You said, "Americans don't have a culture. Rather than pay tribute to any one culture . ... you create a new culture that is void of anything organic.• If the same was said by a white man or woman about your culture - there would be hell to pay. Yet you can say it, and it seems even President Kaplan approves of your blatant disregard for your obviously racially-biased teaching. She even implemented a "Cultural Diversity Task Force" that has so far excluded European Cultures ... Yeah, real diverse ... In addition, the Multicultural Requirement (which all Metro students must take) is closed to any other cultures save three. Yeah, real "multi." The RACISM MUST END AT METROPOLITIAN STATE COLLEGE! I ask that you publicly apologize for your statements, and in the future you cannot teach racial hatred in your classes. It divides all people from all cultural backgrounds. The hate needs to end, Dr. Mascarenas. It can begin with you.

To the Editor: In a day and age where our universities are trying to force their version of multi-cultural education down our throats, perhaps some professors have declared themselves exempt. In a glowing, full-page story and interview with Oneida Mascarenas, the Metro professor was given newspaper space and allowed to rant about the evils of the white-mind set - whatever that is. She went on to characterize whites, in particular males, as materialistic, individualistic and consumed with greed. No doubt, if a white male had characterized people of color as drunks, lazy and welfare cheats, he'd probably be out of a job by now. At the very least, student protests would have already been organized to demand his ouster. If Mascarenas really believes that this country is devoid of culture, she should pack her bags and go live in one that isn't.

-Allen P. Early UCO student

-,John Morris, Metro Student

Mexicans know about the 'white mi nd-set' 1

Mr. Obemdorf mentioned in his letter to The Metropolitan (9/29), Dr. Mascarenas and the many who believe the "white mind-set" is prevalent in today's society should be "grateful we live in a culture that allows individuals regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. to express ourselves as we choose... ". Yes, that's why it's traditional that the white mind-set has and does enslave, make laws for the sole purpose to take away property from those who worked the land, impose borders on those who know no borders exist on land or water and displace inhabitants from the land that raised their ancestors. Not only to people of color but also to Anglo Americans of lower classes. Being of Mexican descent in the United States, I find it difficult to exist not only on campus, but in the state of Colorado and in the U.S., with the freedom to express myself as a socalled "ethnic minority" as Mr. Obemdorf suggest, in his letter I should. During my primary education and the first years of college, I never felt proud or relevant to this society. I eventually began to educate myself and take courses in Mexican history, Chicano Studies and attending educational events in African American Studies. I know that the "white mindset" is prevalent in Anthropology, English, Western Civilization, Philosophy, even in classes of women's history and in many more, if not all of the disciplines. ·

Anglo students have their lives and their past defined in the classes taught. They get to understand that their history is filled with great achievements and individuals. But for me, being Mexicana - the natives Columbus encountered in 1492 were savages; in the 1940's, Chicanos were pachucos- mean-hearted criminals because of their savage ancestry, or they were all lazy bums; Pancho Villa, who lived during .the 1910 Mexican Revolution, was a bandit; Joaquin Mureta, who lived during the same time, was a murderer who deserved to become a Texas statesanctioned side show at carnivals with his head pickled in a jar; and women get less exposure except Dona Marina (la Malinche), the whore and lover of Cortez, a traitor and Pocahontas, the Indian princess who left her people and moved to London. Yes, there is a white mind-set on this campus, 'in the state of Colorado, and especially in the United States. Where else do citizens of a country assume the title of a continent thinking they are the only inhabitants, except in the U.S.? On Auraria Campus, the Arab Americans expressed themselves in having an Arab American Awareness week and individuals with the white mind-set chose to confront the organizer physically, punching him in the stomach and holding a knife to his head in a restroom. The Chicanos (of Mexican descent) on campus who express their culture by holding rallies about

issues concerning the community and the students, they were sent a defamatory flyer stating "Mexicans should be hunted down and sent back to Mexico in body bags." Finally, or maybe not, we're still waiting for more expression, although there are many more examples of people of color expressing themselves, such as a Metro athlete and active member of MEChA who received an extra copy of The Met in which she was featured, under the door of the club office, with the message "Go home, Miss Spic!" written over her picture. And the list goes on! The "white mind-set" really expresses itself too, mostly violent, verbally and physically threatening. Mr. Oberndorf also expresses the "white mind-set" in his statement about Mascarenas, that 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." How much time has Mr. Obemdorf spent in my reality? Does a woman in today's society have to prove her relevancy in reality by being a wife or mother? Does Dr. Mascarenas have to be self-serving because she writes one, or several books, on her interpretation on history and politics? Does it have to be spelled out for you Mr. Obemdorf? Dr. Mascarenas is part of the elite in the field of education, having a doctoral degree as a woman-of-color is an amazing feat in this society full of

sexism and racism. Calling her a racist for teaching the truth of what she sees and greedy for owning her home instead of living in the street is ironic. Especially since people of color have finally reached a point in which they are the educators, teaching their interpretation of history, politics and society. I know that the "white mind-set" is general but, it speaks of different groups. We all should know that if one speaks of a thief, all those who hear "thief" are not necessarily thieves. But, if you think you are guilty, you probably are.

o haute-couture creations by Chanel, Lagerfeld or Armani, but ready-towear pillbox hats, bellbottoms and vinyl platforms were the must-wear items presented at The Bunker's fashion show last Thursday at the Daily Grind. Judging from the show designer wear is out, vintage clothing is in! "If you use your imagination, you could be dressed like that," said Gordon Pryor, the announcer for the show, as a model dressed in a red velvet '20s dress, complete with hat and gloves, strutted by the tables in glittery stiletto heels. Mild applause came from a coffee-sipping audience mostly dressed in sweatshirts, jeans and

sneakers. But other ensembles such as old fashioned smoking jackets modeled by a trio of Ethan Hawke lookalikes or the '70s disco outfits modeled by two boogying couples were more to the audiences liking. As the show went on, the outfits got more daring, ruffles, corduroys and lace combined with plaid, jeans and vinyl, topped with feathers and scarves were presented. The models danced, sashayed or just carefully walked the catwalk through the coffee house - depending on what footwear the outfit required. ''The '60s with Nirvana on top" is how Pryor described one outfit and the freedom to combine whatever styles one likes. WATCH ME: Models strut their stuff during The Bunker's fashion ~how at the Daily Grind. The show, held September 28, featured a generational cross-over of different clothing styles.

'Assassins' is two-fisted, fast and furious New Stallone flick boasts exciting dialogue, intense action; Banderas is as sexy as ever Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

ith a pistol in each fist, Antonio Banderas is fast and furious as a maniacal killer-for-hire in the Warner Bros. release of Assassins, directed by Richard Donner. Banderas plays Miguel Bain, an upand-coming mercenary seeking to be the best in the world, a position held with an iron-clad grip by Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone). What follows is a life-or-death game o( cat-and-mouse as the two chase each other across the country, exchanging positions as hunter and hunted. Enter Electra (Julianne Moore) as a surveillance expert caught selling information to the wrong people. Rath is hired to bring Electra and her buyers down and collect the information, but the kill goes awry when Bain shows up and claims the contract, eliminating the buyers, but missing Electra. Rath runs off with her and the information on a computer disk. Rath discovers he has been betrayed by his anonymous contractor, and this is where the movie picks up speed. He and Electra concoct a plan to sell the information back to the contractor for $20 million and turn the tables on Bain, who has been hired to eliminate them. An epipbanic point of the movie is Rath's struggle to retire from the assassin

game, but he can't until the contractor is brought down. Rath is troubled by the memory of when he killed another assassin, Nikolai, who was also his friend. The movie comes full circle with everything falling into place exactly as it did when Rath killed Nikolai, but an unpredictable surprise ending keeps things hopping. Banderas' portrayal of Bain is enticing and exciting, and he loses none of the sex appeal he had in Desperado. His dialogue is written with a wry sense of humor which lends itself to some serious showstealing, even up against a big name like Stallone. On the other hand, Stallone is no slouch either, as his intensity and "eye of the tiger" never quit. The best scenes in the movie are the exchanges between Stallone and Banderas, when the portrayals are almost flawless and the dialogue is entrancing.

Respect, survival at heart of 'Presidents' (N'Bushe Wright), Juanita's militant older sister, the group plots the ambush of an armored car carrying out-of-circulation currency to be burned in Washington, D.C. Dead Presidents, inspired by actual events, is filled with graphic scenes that may unsettle the viewer. Although the blood and gore are somewhat distracting, they help reconstruct the influences and realities of war. Dead Presidents does however leave the viewer with some questions. In one scene, Curtis is arguing with Ju~nita about the identity of the father of the child she is carrying. Curtis leaves the filthy apartment that the couple shares and never returns there throughout the movie. This scene leaves viewers questioning what truly happened and whether or not Curtis found out who was the true father. Although questions remain, some scenes are strong and make the viewer feel the emotions the characters are portraying. When Curtis first sees his daughter Sarah, he is amazed at her beauty, yet touched with sadness for not being able to know his daughter for four years. Powerful scenes such as this mjike Dead Presidents a gripping film that Jets the viewer feel the pain of Curtis and the desperate world in which he is trapped.

Robert Arrieta Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN

ead Presidents illustrates the struggle for respect and survival in the tradition of the Hughes brothers' films. Allen and Albert Hughes, makers of Menace II Society, bring to life the story of a young man, Anthony Curtis (Larenz Tate), growing up in the South Bronx in the late I 960s and early 1970s. Curtis feels the cold hand of poverty around him everyday and sees the Marine Corps as an alternative to college or following in the footsteps of his gangster employer Kirby (Keith David). · Kirby is a street-wise hustler who runs a pool hall as a front for illegal gambling. After pledging his love to his pregnant high-school sweetheart Juanita (Rose Jackson), Curtis enters a war that forces him to alienate himself from the life he left behind. Eventually, his pals Skip (Chris Tucker) and Jose (Freddy Rodriguez) join him in Vietnam. Curtis and Skip are stationed together in a reconnaissance patrol unit. The horrors of war turn Skip into a heroin fiend, while Curtis becomes reliant on drinking. When Curtis returns to his neighborhood in 1972, he discovers he is not treat-

ed as a hero, the way his father was after the Korean War. He visits Kirby in the hopes of returning to his job as a numbers runner. Times are hard and Kirby struggles just as Curtis does. Instead, of numbers running Curtis has to work a part-time job at a butcher shop, just making ends meet for Juanita

and his daughter Sarah. Eventually tough times catch up to the owner of the butcher shop. Curtis loses his job and becomes desperate for a better life. Facing no alternative, Curtis takes part in a scheme to obtain some "dead presidents"- a slang term for cash. With the help of his former mentor, pals from the Vietnam War and Delilah

The ME1'RoPoUTAH

Play points out human foily Trisha McCarty The METROPOLITAN

French play using bathroom humor to mock the age-old abuse of power, Ubu Roi (which translates to "King Turd") will open at Metro Thursday Oct. 12. 'The play uses bathroom humor, and I'm sure there will be people on this campus who will be offended, but I'm acting from a theatrical premise and some people won't agree, but that's OK," David T. Kottenstette said. Kottenstette, director and production designer of the play, is an assistant professor of design and technical theater at Metro. "I think it has artistic merit in the larger scheme of theatrical arts, or I wouldn't do it," Kottenstette added. "It's for adults. Some of it is a little sophomoric, but not recommended for children. If I had a I 0-year-old child I wouldn't bring him," he said. The play, written 100 years ago by Alfred Jarry, parallels today's culture in that it focuses on the rise of power, the abuse of power and then the fall of power. "So, it sounds vaguely familiar," said Kottenstette. Kottenstette compares the Ubu Roi character's beliefs with Republicans or Democrats where each side has something

of value, yet they believe everyone else is wrong. Ubu's solution would be "Kill them all." Kottenstette asks, "Do we ever really learn about the process of human nature? Aren't the extremes sometimes ridiculous?" ''The whole time you are laughing there is a pointed message that hits us

when we get home, on a much deeper level. It's not about just stirring up and leaving; it is about reflecting on it (the message)," Kottenstette said. He said the message is simple in that it points out human folly and the unwillingness to rationalize with others. Kottenstette explained that he chose Ubu Roi to expose students to a vast history of drama, and always looks for plays that are diverse. "It (Ubu Roi) would certainly be a representative of the whole theater movement," he said. Kottenstette said he is proud of the work of his students, calling them an "eclectic group." He attributes success of the theater program to Marilyn Hetzel, professor of speech, theater director and producer of the play. The cast consists of thirteen students; everyone will play multiple roles. Ubu Roi will run Oct. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at ,7:30 p.m. and Oct. 22 at 2:30 p.m. in the Arts Building, Room 27 l. Tickets are $6 for adults, free for Metro students with student ID and $3 for other students. For reservations and special accommodations, call the Speech Office at 5563933. Reserved tickets must be picked up IS minutes before curtain. Parking passes for $2 will be available at the door for parking Lot G.

Coinedian takes on acting in a different fashion Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

t was different, but comedian Chris Tucker said he knew the part was right for him. Tucker plays Skip in the movie Dead Presidents. His character is a close friend and fellow Vietnam veteran of Curtis, played by Larenz Tate. Tucker has also appeared in Friday with rapper Ice Cube and had a part in House Party 3. He has appeared on HBO's Def Comedy Jam and the Soul Train Comedy Awards. Even though the movie has a more serious tone than Tucker's previous bigscreen appearances, Tucker said he had no problems playing Skip, who has a humorous side to him. ''My comedy deals with a lot of serious type of issues and stuff, so it was fun and it was something I knew I could do," he said. Tucker said he also enjoyed working with Allen and Albert Hughes, the same directing duo that gave us the powerful Menace II Society in 1993. "It was good working with two directors because one of them can really help you with your acting, especially a comedian,'' he said. 'They can tell you when to tone it down a little bit and when to pick it

up a little bit." Tucker said that in his role in Friday he could pretty much do whatever he wanted, but Presidents required a lot of different emotions. He liked the way the Hughes brothers worked with the actors. Tucker also liked working with his costars. "It was a lot of really good actors and we all collaborated real good,'' he said. Tucker said the toughest part of the movie was preparing for it. The actors went through actual training to prepare for their roles as Vietnam soldiers, including drills, learning to properly fire a gun and run through snake-fi.lled swamps in Florida. "We did it all," he said. 'That was one of the toughest things." Tucker also said that the movie, set back in the late '60s and early '70s, has a strong message for today. He said that a lot of people don't realize what Vietnam vets have gone through. "When they got back to America, America turned their backs on them so their only choice in living was to do a crime or do more drugs to forget about it," he said. Tucker has an HBO Comedy Special due in November and has other movies in the works.

V-ball fla01es out in tourney Women win first two in Air Force Premier, then drop three straight Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

,Âˇ~

Metro's volleyball team started the season 2-6 and things were looking pretty bad. Coach Rhonda Williams said her team could turn it around anytime and for four straight games they did. The Roadrunners competed in the Air Force Premier Tournament Sept. 29-0ct. 1 and won their first two games giving them a four-game-winning streak - their first winning streak of the season - before dropping three in a row. Metro beat Florida Southern University in four games on Friday to open the tournament, then took care of Central Missouri State University on Friday night to earn a 2-0 record. 1be Roadrunners won 8-15, 15-4, 155, 15-4 in dominant fashion against Florida as Stacey Hoyt and Marnie SalhusAdams led the way with 12 kills apiece. Metro finished with a .230 attack percentage and held Florida to .102. After losing the first game, the Roadrunners put on their most dominating performance of the season. In the evening's second match, Metro fought to a 2-15, 15-13, 6-15, 15-6, 15-13 win against Central Missouri. Hoyt was brilliant finishing with a game high 20 kills and 18 digs. SalhusAdams had 14 kills and 16 digs and Yolonda Milton had 11 digs and 12 kills. The win, coupled with victories over West TexasA&M Sept. 21 and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs Sept. 22 gave the Roadrunners a 6-6 record putting them at the .500 mark for the first time this season. Then came Saturday and Sunday. The Roadrunners proceeded to start a new streak. A losing streak. Metro dropped consecutive games to Mankato State University from Minnesota, Cal-Poly Pomona and North Florida University.

CRANK IT: Metro volleyball player Yolonda Milton, right, spikes a ball against Mankato State University on Saturday. Mankato beat the Roadrunners in five games. Milton finished the game with eight kills and nine digs in the contest. Milton is a junior outside hitter from Anchorage, Alaska. Mankato needed five games to beat the confident Roadrunners and each team took turns winning. Mankato won the first 15-8 and the teams flip-flopped until Metro lost 15-10, 4-15, 15-9, 7-15. Salhus-Adams had a great game registering 18 kills to lead Metro but a .125 team attack percentage foiled the Roadrunners as Mankato hit for .322.

In Saturday's second game, Metro could manage just one game as Cal-Poly Pomona handled the Roadrunners 15-9, 815, 15-8, 15-13. Metro finished with an anemic .066 attack percentage and never realJy had a chance as poorly as they were hitting. Newcomer Corey Hostetler was the only Roadrunner to finish with double figures

in kills with 10. Closing out the tournament on Sunday, Metro dropped its third straight game, this time losing to Northern Florida University in three, 15-3, 15-12, 15-10. The Roadrunners fell to 6-9 for the season, l-1 in the Colorado Athletic Conference and return home Friday for a CAC contest against Air Force at 7 p.m.

Men see red, lose another close one "(Hoxha) just lost his composure and kicked another player," Crookham said. "The red cards are isolated incidents and over all I think we've been pretty composed.

"We bad a ton of possibiJities to tie at the end," Crookham said. "It's very frustrating because we have a s.olid team. To some extent it's youth but mostly our troubles are due to not adjusting to change." ''Every thing is different. We lose concentration and give up silly goals." While the Roadrunners have won one less game than they did at this point last season, (2-7) statistically they have improved. At the same point last year Metro scored just two goals and gave up 34. This season the Roadrunners have found the net 10 times while allowing 28 scores. Metro has been without its starting goal keeper since Sept. 6 when Larry Sersante broke his jaw against the University of Denver and was lost for the season. Sersante had a l.82 goals against average in his two starts. He has Continued page 20

women's soccer team wins one for the road Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN The women's soccer team has won as many games on the road as they have at home this season - one! Considering Metro started the season with five consecutive home games and six of seven at Auraria Fields and managed just one win - a 3-0 victory against Colorado Christian University Sept. 13 a 1-2 road record is enough to make the Roadrunners ponder playing the remainder of the schedule on enemy turf. Metro played Mercyhurst College on Saturday and was treated to its fifth consecutive defeat, a 6-1 thrashing in which they took just four shots and allowed 22. The Roadrunners played a tough first half, however, trailing 2-1 at the break thanks to Jill Vollmuth's penalty kick at 4: 12 of the first half. Metro would not score again. Mercyhurst poured it on in the second half as Claire Scanlan scored her second goal of the game and Jen Root, Cynthia Naylor and Becky Miller all scored as well. The Roadrunners managed just one shot in the half. Angela Milliard took one from inside the box giving Metro its lone attempt at a score. The sun came out for Metro on ~

Sunday, however. Gannon University in Pennsylvania hosted Metro and the Roadrunners won a 3-1 decision to score their first road victory of the season. Gannon got on the board first with a goal by Regina Mok at 28:25 of the first half and held on to a 1-0 lead at the break. In the second half, Metro spread the ball generously as three players scored for the Roadrunners. Tracey Mayes, hit first as she put in a corner kick delivered by Emma Thompson at 23:20 into the period. The goal was Mayes' first of the season and the Roadrunners' sixth. Julie Ray added another for Metro just 50 seconds later as she punched one while amidst a crowd of players. It was also her first goal of the year. In a game of firsts (first Metro road win of season, first goals for Mayes and Thompson) three minutes and 52 seconds later as Beth Schoeny scored from 18 yards - also her first - out completing the game's scoring and sealing the win for the Roadrunners.
