Woman's body found in field Students death being treated as a homicide Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

. ..

The body of Metro student Jennifer Sue Larsen was discovered in a sunflower field near Strasburg, Colorado, Oct. 4. Capt. Grayson Robinson of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's department said the land owner was working in his field when he came across the body's skeletal remains. Arapahoe County Sheriff's department and the Aurora Police are conducting a joint investigation. "That area of land is still being closely examined for any kind of information we can find," said Mark Hellenschmidt, Aurora Police Department's public information officer. Larsen, 21, had been missing since Aug. 10 when she was last seen leaving a friend's apartment in Aurora around 3 a.m. Until now police had very few leads to follow. Larsen's car was found in

Aurora with her shoes and keys inside several days after she was initially reported missing, but a search for clues turned up very little. The four-square-mile area of the sunflower field ,where the body was discovered was examined by 20 members of the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol, Robinson said. The search turned up some evidence that police would not disclose. "We found some things we are trying to work with," Robinson said. In an effort to try to boost their leads, police also posted large signs around the field asking for any information in the unsolved homicide. Aurora police were also planning to run a 'Crime Stoppers' series on Larsen's disappearance. An initial autopsy to determine the cause of death was completed by the Arapahoe County Coroner's office Oct. 10. 'The coroner found it was homicidal violence of an undetermined ture," said Dodie Meyers, spokesperson for the coroner's office. Meyers explained that a more specific cause of death can sometimes take up to a month to complete, depending on the condition of the body.

Student alleging attack on campus refuses to submit to lie-detector test Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

A Metro campus club leader declined a lie detector test Sept. 25 when a detective from the Denver Police Department asked him to take one. The test would have helped verify statements the club leader made about the alleged attack against him in a men's bathroom Sept. 18. As a result of his refusal, police said the case has been inactivated. Iyad Allis, president of the Arab Americans of Auraria, said two men assaulted him in a Science Building bathroom and told him, "This is only a warning." Allis' club was holding an Arab Awareness event that week and received a threatening letter the day of the attack telling him to cancel the event or "watch (his) back." Allis said he was advised by the affiliate of the Arab American AntiDiscrimination Committee in Washington,

D.C., not to take the test or speak to the media. Joe Ortiz, Auraria Public Safety chief said when Allis filed the harassment charges, there was a lot of concern on his part. "We took a. report and investigated it. Safety was of paramount importance," he said. Ortiz sees it differently now, though. "It leaves us with the impression: was this all for nothing?" he said. Since there were no eye-witnesses, no physical evidence and Allis decided against the polygraph, the case was inactivated. Ortiz said there is nothing to follow. Detective Dave Sconce of the Denver Police Department asked Allis to take the polygraph test. Allis refused saying, "I just want to put it all behind me and move on." Allis said even though he would like to know who his assailants were, personal experience with authorities has led him to believe there is no hope in finding them. "I don' t have too much faith in the

system," he said, adding that he feels no obligation to prove himself. Due to the negative publicity Allis said he has received from the threats, he scheduled club Allis meetings to discuss media attacks on Arabs. "I don't want the club to be remembered as having attacks made against it," Allis said. Safa Suleiman, Metro's student government president and secretary of the Arab Americans club, said that she believes Allis was telling the truth about the attack and other allegations he made. "It's his prerogative, but what's the big deal? It's just a lie-detector test," she said.

Police Briefs Put that thing away On Sept 30 a woman told Auraria Public Safety she was sitting in the lobby of the North Classroom when a man walked in and went up to a secondfloor landing directly above her. She said when she looked up, the man had his penis in his hand and was masturbating. The man didn't say anything, but was staring at her. She asked him to leave, but he continued to masturbate. She walked upstairs to confront the man, who then fled the scene. There are no leads or suspects.

Hey man, that's the ladies room A woman called Auraria Public Safety Oct. 9 to report a man in a women's restroom in the Arts Building. The woman said the man was sitting in a stall in the restroom and she heard him coughing. Officers confronted the man as he left the restroom. The man said he went in there by mistake. Officers warned him to stay out of women's restrooms.

A student reported the theft of his gray 1987 Chevy Nova Oct. 7 from parking lot R while he was watching a baseball game on campus. Numerous items were in the car when it was stolen, including a Sony CD car stereo, a pair of roller blades, three pairs of ski poles, a leather briefcase, two pairs of sunglasses, three knives and an ice ax. Value of the car and the items stolen is over $6,500. There are no leads or suspects at this time.

Auraria Public Safety officers observed a man smoking a marijuana cigarette near the Tivoli Student Union on Oct. 7. Officers confronted the man and found a substance suspected to be marijuana in a small can. The man also admitted to having a joint. The man was cited for possession of marijuana under one ounce and for public consumption of marijuana.

Adntinistrator files lawsuit against New Mexico college Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN A special project coordinator at Metro is suing University of New Mexico for breach of contract after the school rescinded a job offer because he failed to disclose pending felony charges. Alonzo Rodriguez filed a complaint Oct. 6 in state district court in Albuquerque stating that UNM breached his contract without valid cause or grounds. "As a consequence of the breach of the contract, the plaintiff has suffered damages for which he should be compensated," the complaint states. Rodriguez resigned from his position as assistant vice president of Student Services at Metro on J_uly l to take the position of vice president of Student Affairs at UNM. He currently has a temporary position at Metro that consists of working on a grant project for desegregation, according to President Sheila Kaplan. The lawsuit said Rodriguez terminated his employment at Metro and arranged to move to Albuquerque. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount for damages. Martin Threet, an attorney for the law firm Threet and King in Albuquerque, filed .the lawsuit on behalf of Rodriguez, but could not be reached for comment. UNM officials dropped Rodriguez's

contract that would · have paid a salary of nearly $90,000 per year after learning about the charges. "We felt we were justified in rescinding the offer," UNM Counsel Rodriguez Nick Estes said. Estes said one aspect of the position is to deal with campus police and UNM officials felt they were entitled to know, because of the close working relationship required for the job. "It definitely raises the potential for conflicts," Estes said. Rodriguez is one of three people facing felony charges related to death of nine elk in Park County last fall. Rodriguez pleaded not guilty July 25 to the charges according to Jany Bair, clerk for Combined Courts in Park County. Trial dates have been set for Nov. 27 through 29. Rodriguez declined comment. UNM has 30 days to respond to the complaint, however Estes said the school has not yet been served with a summons.

Dean's actions prompt review Faculty complaints bring first such action in college's history Steve Titus The METROPOLITAN

Accusations of poor performance, and a department on the verge of being phased out, have led to a faculty review of Bill Rader, dean of the Professional Studies department During a recent Faculty Senate meeting Date, John Schmidt, director of the Industrial Technology department, brought up concerns he, and other faculty members had about the actions of Rader. In September, Schmidt met with Sharon Siverts, Metro's provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, to discuss problems he felt were severe enough to demand immediate attention from the presidents office. He said he wanted the problems to be dealt with before they became so large, word would reach the local media and taint the image of the president of the college. Neither he nor anyone else in his department was willing to be specific but all were adamant the issues were important enough to warrant an investigation of the dean, a first in the 30-year history of the College. Schmidt, a full tenured professor, offered guarded information about the complaints. "This has been perceived as a personal problem between myself and Dr. Rader," he said. 'That is definitely not the case. There are 19 faculty members in this department who would not give Dean Rader a gold star." Vince Orlando, a Professional Studies faculty member, confirmed faculty complaints but was evasive about the specific

UNDER ATTACK: Bill Rader, Metro's dean of the School of Professional Studies, is being accused by some of his faculty of poor performance. issues. "I'm trying to be a good boy and stay out of things," he said. Schmidt has met with Rader to discuss the perceived problems. Rader said Schmidt was the only faculty member to come to him with any complaints or comments about his performance. Siverts confirmed she had met with Schmidt and that a lack of communication was one of his complaints. She said she sent a letter to all faculty in the department, inviting them to meet with her to discuss any issues regarding Rader.

She said four departments and a handful of the approximately 250 teachers have met with her so far. Siverts, not willing to confirm any of the complaints voiced by faculty, said she wanted to give everyone a chance to speak with her before she made any judgments. She is giving faculty until the end of October to meet with her. She will then meet with Rader to discuss the information gathered and the Dean will then meet with faculty and attempt to work out their differences. Charlie Branch, chairman of the

Human Services Department and former dean of professional studies, was a staunch supporter of Rader saying he has been personally responsible for a great deal of the money raised for the department. He also said there were some valid complaints, among them, a lack of communication. He said Rader has not met with faculty as often as they would like and felt the dissatisfaction has developed over the past 18 months. Rader has been dean of professional studies for four years. He said in the past 18 months he and members of his department have raised over $4 million in grants. Though unsure of the nature of the complaints, he said anger over the way he distributed some of the funds could be an issue. "Some departments were given more support than others," Rader said. Much of the determination is based on enrollment in the particular program. "It's impossible to make everybody happy, especiafly when it comes to difficult decisions" he said. "I just don't see any really big problems. We have an incredibly productive staff." Rader also raised some hackles by suggesting to college administrators that the Industrial Technology section be phased out, a move that would greatly affect Schmidt as director of the program. Rader said, over the past 12 years, 169 students have majored in this field at Metro and 22 have graduated. There are currently no students in the teaching major and nine in the business major of the Industrial Arts department. Other faculty expressed surprise at the low figures and quipped about the quality of the program.

Light rail celebrates successful first year Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN

The Regional Transportation District celebrated one year of light rail service by giving commuters cake and commemorative pins at some light-rail stations, including the south-campus location. RID will add six new light rail cars by January to accommodate a boom in the service's use, said Andrew Hudson, spokesperson for RID. RID estimated ridership at 3.9 million for the first year. Instead, over 4.1 million people boarded this year, Hudson said. "In the first two weeks, there were so many people using the light rail, we had to alleviate the overcrowding," he said. This was accomplished by bringing back 128 of the 500 bus routes eliminated when light rail began. Hudson also attributed the success of light rail to the new student bus-pass program, which allows students to ride the RTD local routes, including light rail, free with valid student IDs. Hudson said he does not know the exact number of students who use the buspass program, but speculates the program

bas been a tremendous success. "Our initial feeling is the students are using the program," he said. Many also found the light rail service to be beneficial to the community. "It's a great bonus for Denver as a city," said Kristin Murphy, clean air advocate for Colorado Public Interest Research Group. Murphy said the light rail system is important for dealing with the problem of air pollution. "Light rail has eased traffic congestion and it is an easy and convenient way to get downtown," Murphy added. Erin Breece, a biology major at Metro, said she has used light rail since it opened. "It is an advantage, because of the hassles I would have to deal with when parking," Breece said. David Duman, a computer science major at Metro, has used RTD bus and light rail services. Duman said he is getting his $15.41 worth per semester, since a bus pass would cost him $23 each month. John Swift/The METROPOLITAN Duman added that the light rail MOVING ALONG: A student boards a has been a great benefit to students. light rail train at the Auraria station.

Early figures say bus pass

~~ ~ne~,!lccessful The METROPOLITAN

The number of students riding the bus and light rail is up, according to a report released by the Regional Transportation District. Since Auraria students voted to increase their fees in exchange for free bus and light rail service, there has been an overall increase in ridership of 40 to 44 percent, said RID spokesman Bob Rynerson. RID determined the increase by conducting "stand-check" surveys of Auraria bus stops, where RID employees count the number of people getting on and off the bus, and comparing figures from January 1995, before the bus-pass program Continued page 9

Dear Financial Connections, Like most Metro students, I rely heavily on Financial Aid to get me through school and help with expenses. This year, I wasn't eligible for any grants, so I took out a Stafford Loan. With two more years of school ahead of me, I'm looking for different ways to pay for college other than loans. Do you have any ideas? Signed, Seeking Solutions Dear Seeking Solutions, One word.-SCHOLARSHIPS! Did you know that thousands of dollars in scholarships go unused every year in Colorado? This is mainly because so many students aren't aware of the number of scholarships available or how to go about getting one. Later this month, a Scholarship Coordinator will be joining the Student Finance Resource Center to help match students with available scholarships. The Coordinator will have a database of 180,QCX) scholarships at their fingertips, with 1,200 new ones entered daily. Students will be able to come into the Student Finance Resource Center and fill out an on-line profile form . Once completed, the database will respond with a list of matching award programs. The coordinator will help students request applications and obtain further information. Students who use this seNice will have their own ongoing "mailbox" file with the ability to access up to date scholarship information.

It will be fine by me. I may not answer to the other names they call me, but they should feel free to give it a try. Over the past weeks, letters have arrived at The Metropolitan in response to a story in which a professor used the term "white mind-set." You would think she said "the Pope is a homosexual."

I am left to conclude that those who took offense to these statements, in fact, feel they are this way and agree that these are bad traits to possess. Last December, there were fliers distributed on campus that warned about the Mexican invasion of the United States. Included in this one-page flier were several stereotypes of Mexican Americans living in the U.S. These fliers were anonymous. Many people were offended by the statements in the fliers. Forums were scheduled. Students and faculty descend-

ed on the office of Metro President Sheila Kaplan. To many this was a very big deal. Then, as now, I was left to conclude that the people who were offended by these stereotypes must have found some validity in these remarks. It seems to me, that it is far more important in how we see ourselves, for we know ourselves best. We know if we are lazy, materialistic, greedy or dare I say it ... individuals. I was fortunate to learn, at an early age, that I should always be my harshest critic. That way what other people think of me will have minimized effect. I was taught that if someone criticizes me and they are correct in their criticism, then I should not be offended. And if they are wrong, so be it. I will forever remember the words of an old African American man who was posed this question: "How do you feel when someone calls you a nigger?" To which he responded: "It doesn't bother me at all, because it says more about the person who said it than it says about me."

GRAPHIC EPITOR Chris Mancuso The recent rash of racial letters has sparked a great controversy. America is a large country, made up of many people, and to say the "white mind-set is one based on individualism, materialism, hatred, anger, violence ..." is very closed minded. It would have the same impact as saying of the "black mind-set is one violence, laziness, and the welfare mentality." Not one person is exactly like another. If 500 Americans of any race or gender were asked what their idea of culture is, they would offer up nearly 500 completely different answers. Yet Metropolitan State College has done just that. They have taken a few individuals' ideas of culture and required all students to take it. The views presented in these classes are not of many cultures, as the title might suggest (Multi-

cultural Requirement), yet of only a few. The finger pointing and name calling is. futile and simplistic, it has never worked before. What this nation needs is a good dose of AMERICAN CULTURE!!! We are a nation of vast diversity and to only offer special programs to a few "minorities" is racism. Immigrants industrialized this nation to be the best. The American mindset is one of determination, success, togetherness and drive! These are the ideas that made this nation great. Separatism is what is tearing this nation apart. Everyone is so busy defining what they are: African American, Asian American, Mexican American - - the things that made this country strong are tumbling down around us all! Every family, every culture, every race

struggled in this country. Not one single race ever "had it easy". When the Irish came over to America, they were thrown out of jobs, housing, and denied many of the necessary elements for survival. When the Spanish came over there was the slaughtering, both to the Spanish and to the Indians. When the Africans came over, there was slavery. No one race in this country has not suffered. Why is it so few are remembered? Very few people in this country are 'pure-bred' anything. Most Americans are mixes of more than one nationality. So why the hatred and separatism? If Multi-culturalism is to be taught, then show ALL cultures, since no one has the market on suffering!!!! -Michelle Urrutia Metro student

DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS To John Morris, It makes me ill to see a letter so full of blind ignorance and arrogance. Mr. Morris do you really believe what you are saying? If you believe for one moment that only white men fought and died "on the Union side of the Civil War" and against Hitler you ate sorely embarrassing yourself. Not only did black regiments fight in the Civil War, but it was mostly "white, materialistic, and greedy" men who often paid immigrants, mostly Irish, to take their place on the front lines of the Union army. And if you believe only white men fought the tyranny of Hitler during World War II, I highly suggest enrolling in a rudimentary history course. As for the writers of the Constitution, of course they were all white men. No one else was allowed to participate. White men were the only ones "protected" in the Constitution. To them "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" meant white and landed. It did not include Blacks, women or Native Americans. Before blasting your narrow minded, ethnocentric views across this campus, I suggest you look up the facts supporting your arguments. If you feel you are experiencing "slander... to the accomplishments of all European descendants" then you know how the rest of us have felt for 200 years while white, European, paternalistic slander has littered our lives.

Zapatistas fight for land, liberty

.,.

e came from Chiapas with a story of death, deceit, destruction and a people's courage to put everything on the line, even their Jives for the inalienable right to land, life and liberty. Oscar Troncoso Torrez, a Mexico City native, spoke to Metro students Sept. 28 about the Zapatista rebellion that began Jan. 1, 1994 and where the movement is today. Torrez wove a tale of an indigenous people's fight to retain their communal properties as the Mexican government tries to privatize a land rich in natural resources while foreign investors lurk in the background. He spoke with the help of many interpreters to get his message across, since he speaks very little EngHsh. The indigenous people of Chiapas have formed over 180 coaHtions in trying to obtain what Torrez ca1ls "basic demands": •health •jobs •land • places to live •education • liberty

The Metropolitan, now

•democracy •peace He said that 3,000 children die from disease every year in Chiapas and that all they need is medical attention. The most important element to the rebellion is the fight for land, Torrez said. The government's attempts to privatize land that has been held communally, threatens the very life of the indigenous people, he added. They live together in communities · they can "ejidos," which translates to communal lands. No one person owns the land, but all of them make their living off the land; their food, their homes, and their medicines. "When you put a European system of private property onto a system where there is no such thing as private property, they are basically putting their values on a system that never had that kind of value before," said Arturo "Popos" Rodriguez, a Metro alumnus. Torrez said that included in the North American Free Trade Agreement was mention of an amendment to the Mexican Constitution to sell off the communally owned land. The Zapatista movement has gained support from the Mexican people, Torrez said. He cited a march to Mexico's capitol Continued page 17

Here from the beginning; professor recalls old times Joelle Conway The METROPOLITAN

oseph Sandoval has been with Metro since the beginning. Sandoval, a Metro Criminal Justice professor, started taking classes at Metro in the summer of 1966, two semesters after its inception, and was in Metro's second graduating class of 1970. Sandoval's affair with Metro began while he was working at a Denver area bakery in 1966. One of Sandoval's co-workers, whose name, he recalls, was Henry, told him about Metro. "Henry said, 'There's this new school that's downtown,"' Sandoval reminisced. "For the life of me I couldn't figure out what he was talking about, I thought it was a CU extension." Sandoval checked Metro out and enrolled at the age of 21. He worked eight-hour days and took evening classes. "It was tough," he said, "especially when I had to start work at 2 a.m. or 4 a.m." Sandoval didn't have a particular area of interest when he began at Metro, but the idea in his mind was a liberal education, he said. As it turned out, many of his professors sparked his interest in history, the subject in which he majored. He recalled how crazy it was trekking all over downtown to attend classes. "We had classes at 13th and Glenarrn and as far south as 11th and Bannock," he laughed. Sandoval's career in criminal justice began in 1967 when he started working at the Arvada Police Department

while attending Metro. He was the first sworn Arvada police officer on the force to have a degree. Sandoval describes his police shifts as even crazier than the bakery shifts. "It was very difficult to attend classes," he said. But Sandoval's hard work in and out of school paid off. In the beginning of 1970 he was promoted to detective and in January of 1972 he was promoted to lieutenant. Then in 1973 Sandoval's career was turned upside .down when he began teaching at Metro in mid-September. "One day I was on the police force, and the next day I was in the classroom," he recalls. However, the decision to change careers wasn't exactly easy. "It took me a while to make up my mind," he said. "Police work was great, but to achieve more I knew I had to do something else." Moving into teaching was his calling. "I started police work with a humanitarian point of view for people. Police work is an essential and needed part of civil society. So its practitioners had to be something special in order to deal with people problems," Sandoval said. He wanted to shape those special people, but he knew he couldn't at the police department. During his first semester of teaching he was "awed by the responsibility, and accepted the challenge." With no teacher education courses behind him, Sandoval began teaching on his experience alone. ''My police experience is what saved me and got me through my first year of teaching," he said. Sandoval didn't stop there. He went on to receive his masters from the University of Colorado-Boulder and completed Denver University Law School, all while teach'

'Showgirls': sleaze and cheese Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

- W ;

hat do you get when you combine a pathetic soundtrack and scads of G-strings, with a weak, unbelievable script, then slap on a controversial rating? You get Showgirls: a movie that's one part nudity, two parts cheese. Set in Las Vegas, Showgirls is the product of Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas and Director Paul Verhoeven, the duo behind Basic Instinct. They took a gamble on the NC-17 (no children under 17) rating, but I'll wager it's the primary calling of this borderline soft-porn flick. While the reason for the rating is clear, what's unclear is the purpose of the screenplay and why it fails to offer any explanations for the character's actions. Bewildering motive number one: Ex-prostitute Nomi Malone, (Elizabeth Berkley) seeks redemption from a sordid past by moving to Las Vegas and becoming an exotic dancer who takes up a cocaine habit and employs treachery to get a coveted lead in a casino show. What? Bewildering motive number two: Nomi pulls a knife on a nice Elvis impersonator while hitching a ride to Vegas, 'Elvis' happily gives her a lift anyway - then picks her up again on her way out of the city. Huh? PEEK A BOOB: Elizabeth Berkley stars as Nomi Malone, a young dancer seeking redemption Bewildering motive number three: Tony Moss, (Alan from a seedy past by moving to Las Vegas and becoming an exotic dancer, in Paul Verhoeven's Rachins) relentlessly pursues Nomi - even after she tells controversial NC-17 rated Showgirls. him in a million mean and nasty ways to "f- off' and causes him to lose several jobs. Yeah, right. a crash pad- after the 'spirited' stripper beats on her car, bodacious set of bare gazongas. And what's the deal with Bewildering motive number four: Nomi's rival and throws french fries in her face and asks if she's trying to the soundtrack? The 'big show' numbers sound like cheap mentor Christal Connors (Gina Gershon) offers her guid- pickup on her. Okey dokey. synth-generated disco smut - you' ll find better tunes in ance and affection by arranging some key breaks for her While explanations for these actions might boggle the any low-budget l 970's sitcom. feisty understudy - even after Nomi ruins her career and mind, there's plenty more to question in Showgirls.

Sandoval thankful for Metro education From page 14 ing full-time at Metro. Sandoval recal]s Metro's move to Auraria in 1977 with resentment. "I didn't like the campus at first," he said bluntly. "I had been baptized at St. Cajetan's and my daughter was baptized there. I didn't like the displacement of an entire community." Sandoval chaired the Criminal Justice Department from 1982 to 1994. During his time as chairman, Sandoval said he was proud of two accomplishments the department made: the department expanded tremendously and they had successful graduates working al] over the U.S., many as sheriffs. Sandova] stressed the value of his education from Metro. "My undergraduate education has been the foundation of everything I have done," he said. In his 23 years of teaching, Sandoval said he has been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to interact and work with individua]s that he respects. "My life has been very serendipitous," he said. His feelings for his alma mater run deep. "Metro is the place you hate to love. It's very rough and tumble and tends to mirror the city it sits in," he said.

The METROPOLITAN

Team wins two straight, but loses coach and player to suspension Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

(

;.-

A tumultuous season for the women's volleyball team grew even worse this week as one player quit the team, one player temporarily lost eligibility, and coach Rhonda Williams was suspended for an NCAA violation. Despite the turmoil, the team won two consecutive Colorado Athletic Conference matches. Metro beat Air Force Academy Oct. 6 in three games, 15-11, 15-8, 15-4 in Colorado Springs and recovered from a two-game lapse to defeat the University of Southern Colorado on Wednesday 16-14, 15-7, 10-15, 11-15, 15-12 to improve to 8-10 overall and 3-1 in the CAC. Regardless of the two-game win streak, the Roadrunners face serious problems as the conference season kicks into full gear. Prized transfer Marnie Salhus-Adams quit the team for personal reasons last week, and Willill!JlS was suspended for two games just hours before the USC match. According to Assistant Athletic Director J.R. Smith, Williams loaned junior outside hitter Paula Makridis about $800 for rent because Makridis' scholarship check hadn't arrived on time for her to make the payment. Makridis is currently ineligible to play pending an NCAA appeal, which Smith said should be taken care of by Saturday's contest at the University of Denver. "(Williams) violated an NCAA rule," Smith said. "It was a bad decision. Everybody makes bad judgments. Unfortunately our jobs are more public." Smith said Makridis paid the money back and that the NCAA will likely be satisfied with Metro's disciplinary actions against Williams and Makridis. "Hopefully Rhonda will learn from this," Smith said. "She understands the implications of what she did. "We won't jeopardize the program. No coach is above the program." Off-court distractions aside, the Roadrunners are playing good volleyball, winning six of their past nine matches. Top assistant Verna Julaton took the helm as head coach against use and got her first win. "It felt good," Julaton said. "The win felt really good. I tried to be calm. I didn't want to show nervousness in the locker room." Metro started out sharp against the Thunderwolves, racing to 9-2 lead in game one before succumbing to a USC rally that saw the score tied at L1. The teams knotted again at 14 before Metro served out the game to take a game-to-none lead. Junior outside hitter Stacey Hoyt finished the match with a game-high 21 kills and said the Roadrunners have come a long way from the beginning of the season. "The difference now is confidence," Hoyt said of the five-game win. "Tonight we were down after winning the first two, and earlier. in the season they probably would have beaten us." Julaton agreed, saying the team has matured a lot since the start of the '95 campaign. "They have a lot of confidence in fifth games because they've won a lot of them this year," Julaton said. "We tend to dig ourselves into a hole, and now we've learned how to dig our way out." Metro has won two five-game matches this season. On Sept. 29 the Roadrunners beat Central Missouri State 2-15, 15- 13, 6-15, 15-6, 15- 13. While the Roadrunners continue to compete for a top finish in the CAC, Metro has two players who are competing for individual accolades as well.

Stacey Hoyt leads the conference in digs with 210 in 55 games played for a 3.8 dig-per-game average. Hoyt is second place in the league in kills, averaging 3.6 per game just behind DU's Heidi Shelton who leads with 4.5 per game. Metro's Kerry Beidleman is sixth in the league in assists with 7.7 per game. The Roadrunners are in second place in the CAC

behind Regis University. Metro will play at DU on and will travel to Colorado Christian University on Tuesday to take on the Cougars. Both are CAC matches and should give the Roadrunners good indication of their chances to compete for a conference title. Williams is scheduled to return to the bench for the CCU matcn and Makridis should return for the DU contest. S~turday

Women's soccer can't buy a victory Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The women's soccer team continued to struggle this week losing a 4-2 match at Air Force Academy and tying 1-1 at Colorado Christian on Tuesday. The Roadrunners were outscored 2-1 in each half against the Falcons Oct. 6 and they were outshot 14-5 at the Academy.

Air Force scored quickly, taking a 1-0 lead at the 24:39 mark of the first half. Metro was able to answer when Jill Vollmuth scored her second goal of the season at 31 :57 on a penalty kick. The Falcons scored three-straight goals to put the game away by the 65 minute mark. Leah Brown scored her first goal of the season with the match already out of

reach at 71: 11. Metro stands at 2-8-1 overall with a 15-1 Colorado Athletic Conference record and appears to be on the verge of its worst season in years. The Roadrunners play non-conference University of Northern Colorado at Auraria Field on Friday at 3:30 p.m. before embarking on a five-match CAC stretch to end the season.

Metro travels to the University of Denver on Wednesday and Regis University Oct. 21 before returning home for a rematch with Air Force Oct. 25. The season closes with a home match against Fort Lewis and a road contest with the University of Southern Colorado. Metro is currently in last place in the CAC.

Feast or famine: men's soccer splits week's games Roadrunners get shut out for third time this season then score second shutout victory

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The men's soccer team split its two matches this week dropping a 1-0 decision at Regis University on Sunday and shutting out the University of Southern Colorado Tuesday 2-0. Phillip Johnson and Joe Howe each scored their first goal of the season against the Thunderwolves, giving Metro its second shutout victory of the season.

The win was a pleasant surprise considering the way USC hammered the Metro 4-1 at Auraria Field Sept. l 0. The Roadrunners improved to 3-10 overall and 2-6 in the Colorado Athletic Conference. Despite the win, Metro remains in the CAC cellar with four conference games remaining on the schedule. Bright spots for the Roadrunners are few, but Mazen Kayali is the eighth leading scorer in the CAC with six goals and an assist for 13 points. Metro, however, ranks last in the conference in scoring with a 1.11 goals-per-

game average while allowing a league worst of 3.38. Freshmen goal keeper Joey Velotta is second-to-last in the conference, giving up 2.92 goals-per game. Metro travels to CAC rival Fort Lewis on Friday for a 7 p.m. match before returning home for a 3 p.m. contest Monday against the University of ColoradoColorado Springs. The Roadrunners defeated UCCS .0 Oct. 4 in Colorado Springs. Metro plays its last CAC home game Wednesday against Colorado Christian University at 3 p.m.
