Slaying of Rabin chills campus Death of Prime Minister shocks Auraria; many express worry about peace process Igor Raykin Ray Zanko The ME1ROPOLITAN

Words of shock and dismay echoed throughout the campus this week in the wake of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Yigal Amir, a 27-year-old Jewish law student, confessed to shooting Rabin :{ive times, saying God told him to do it. Rabin was leaving a peace rally in Tel .Aviv Saturday when he was shot. Rabin, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, faced criticism from many Israelis after signing a peace agreement last year with the Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat. Rabin's death has left many speculating about what will happen to the fragile Palestinian-Israeli peace. "It's gone too far to turn around," said Akbarali Thobhani, Director of International and Intercultural Education at Metro. "It may become more difficult, but I believe it will continue." Ajayi Harris, a Metro political-science major, agrees. "I think the peace process will continue now by virtue of the fact that it is bigger now than Rabin or Arafat," he said.

Attaining peace focus of forum Ray Zanko The METROPOLITAN

The United World Peace Symposium assembled at the Tivoli Turnhalle Tuesday to address global problems during a week that was punctuated by violence and mourning. The symposium was sponsored by the Metro Political Science Association which hosted six guest speakers who tackled global peace issues from both a humanistic and political standpoint. "We are all ambassadors for peace," said Eulease Yokum, the moderator who opened the discussion. "We need to embrace peace in our lives, our communities, and throughout all countries in the world." 'There are millions of people in the world living in subhuman conditions," said Ali Zarrin, an assistant professor of John Swift/The METROPOLITAN English at RegisUniversity.

said: "It's unfortunate for that to happen to someone who is fighting for peace among so much chaos, but sometimes it takes extreme things to happen for people to realize how far you need to go to achieve peace. Hopefully, his death won't be in vain." Rabin now joins the list of peace advocates who have fallen victim to assassins' bullets. "It seems that people throughout history - like Martin Luther King - who are trying to do good, get assassinated," said Dawn Jacub, a Metro Aviation major. President Clinton, who eulogized Rabin as a "martyr for peace" joined presidents, kings and prime ministers from 80 countries at Rabin's funeral Monday. After the ceremony, a host of diplomats went to the King David Hotel for a series of meetings on how to shape the future without Rabin. Metro sociology professor Martha Shwayder, who is Jewish, said she was affected personally. "I am tired of seeing the war over there," she said. "I don't see any solutions without the Palestinians having a homeland." Jay Brode/l's Intermediate Reporting class contributed to this article.

Discussion spotlights extre01is01 Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

Three experts on right-wing extremist groups will be on campus Nov. 16 to discuss the growing presence of racism in America. One of the speakers will be Floyd Cochran, a former high-ranking member of the Aryan Nation. He became an opponent of racism when he was told that his son, born with a cleft palate, would have to be euthanized if white supremacists rose to power, according to an interview in the May/June 1994 issue of Mother Jones magazine. The second speaker, Leonard Zeskind, is a member of the bqard of directors for the Jewish Community Relations Bureau in Kansas City. The third speaker is Graeme Atkinson, European editor of the London-based Searchlight magazine, an anti-fascist monthly. KOA talk show host Peter Boyles will broadcast his show live from the Tumhalle with the speakers, from 6 to 10 a.m. The main portion of the program will be from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Also included in the program are State Senator Mike Feeley and Metro professors, Norm Proviser, Xeturah Woodley, and Akbarali Thobnani.

CoPIRG is being kicked out of the Tivoli Club Hub after occupying a space there for over a year. The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board voted Friday to uphold a ruling by the Student Union Advisory Board to remove the Colorado Public Interest Research Group from the Club Hub at the end of the semester. "We were told in the past that we didn't need any (club status) paperwork because we pay for the space," said Kama Suddath, CoPIRG's Metro campus coordinator. According Suddath, to CoPIRG was told in August it would have · 10 apply for Suddath club status or vacate the office. But by then the deadline for applying had passed. "We were in a Catch-22, there was nothing we could do," said Suddath. The advisory board decided to change the policy in the middle of the semester, she said. "I know they are just trying to be consistent with all the clubs, but I think they're going about it the wrong way," Suddath said. The Club Hub, located on the third floor of the Tivoli, is comprised of a dozen

80-square-foot offices grouped around a communal meeting area. The offices are available for campus clubs and doled out on a first-come first-served basis. The battle for space began in September when 20 clubs applied for 12 available spaces in the Club Hub. According to Clubs' Coordinator Maria Castro, organizations must be recognized as a club to be considered for free space in the Tivoli. The student organization handbook lists "four easy steps to becoming a club." There are specific filing deadlines at

the beginning of each semester. Of those that applied, seven were eliminated for not meeting the definitionof a club, said Juan Sanchez, vice president of student organizations. That still left one too many, so the decision was left to luck and one name was drawn from a hat. The Asian Multicultural Network was the name picked to be eliminated. The president of the club, Oliver Tan, did not accept that and wrote a letter to Metro student government complaining that CoPIRG was occupying one of the spaces but was not officially considered a club.

Sanchez said CoPIRG now has until the end of the semester to complete the paperwork and become recognized as a club. They will then be eligible for a free space in the Tivoli with other clubs. He also said that because of their status as a statewide, nonprofit organization and the presence of a paid staff member in the office, he would not support their request for free space. Suddath is unsure where CoPIRG will reside, but said she feels an on-campus office is essential to carry out the group's mission.

Dear Financial Connections, I have路 a lot of credit cards with high balances. I am having trouble making all the minimum payments each month. Is there. anything I can do? I have heard something about consolidation loans?

Signed, Minimum Balanced Out Dear Minimum Balanced Out, My first suggestion is to take a close look at your income and expenses by setting up a personal budget. The Student Finance Resource Center will be holding a "Budgeting Seminar" on November 30th in the Tivoli Student Union, Room 329, from l pm to 2pm, or if you prefer, call the Finance Center @ 556-4435 to arrange an individual session. Budgeting should help you get things under control. However, consolidation loans are an excellent resource if you are having trouble with numerous credit card payments. Most consolidation loans carry a lower interest rate than credit cards and have clearly defined repayment terms. Perhaps the best advantage to consolidation is not having to deal with all those bills each month. Banks, consumer counseling agencies and . other financial institutions may help you obtain a consolidation loan. Call your bank or stop by my office and I will put you in touch with a lender.

Because today is m.ystery m.ea.t day.

It's everywhere you want to be:

"With all of the provisions, not only deferment provisions but forbearance provisions, there is really no reason for a student to default," Munshaw said. "I think part of the reason students default is because they're overwhelmed by the process," she said adding that there is a small percentage of students who never intended to pay back their loan when they received it. "Our experience is most of the students who default, never make a payment," said Kristie Samuelson, assistant director of marketing for CSLP. ''There are a lot of repayment options, so if they can't pay, the worst thing they can do is hide," Samuelson said. "If they call us we'll work with them and sometimes we can get lenders to help out by accepting lower payments for some time," she said. "It's when they skip, that they get into a lot of trouble." Federal law requires CSLP to report all studentloan defaults to national credit agencies. CSLP also reports defaults to the Internal Revenue Service that will confiscate tax returns until the debt has been paid. Depending on whether the student in default is employed, garnishing wages is an<option. "We do (take) pretty much whatever tack we can to recover the money,'' Munshaw said. Once students have made 12 consecutive payments they can have the loan repurchased by the lender out of default status and their loan rights are reinstated. CSLP will then notify the credit bureaus that the loan is no longer in default.

Students strugg~e with possible changes in federal-loan programs and paying college debt

As lawmakers negotiate massive cuts in federal college-aid, students worry about paying back loans. Almost half of Metro's 16,856 students depend on some form of financial aid to attend college, for a total of $38. l million in aid this year. _ Proposed legislation may reduce the national deficit, but it burdens students with having to pay more for loans and having less money available. In addition, students would have to start paying back their loans immediately after graduation. "Without financial aid, what would happen to us? I wouldn't have a good job, and I would have to depend on welfare," said Aisha Gallegos, a Metro freshman.

Financial Aid On the Chopping Block

The METROPOLITAN

Financial Aid: friend or foe?

Students who depend on financial aid to attend college are not alone in their concerns that the government may cut too much money from its federal-aid programs. The Alliance to Save Student Aid is working to save as much federal student aid as they can. David Merkowitz, staff director for the Alliance, said the organization was formed last December in light of the cuts to financial aid outlined in the Republican's Contrac't with America. The Alliance is made up of about 50 national higher Student-Loan Debt education organizations, Merkowitz said. They lobby Student-loan debt can be high for some students. The federal government allows up to $100,000 for undergradCongress and the Senate to save student aid.

Thanks for the cards and letters I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers for their written responses to the first 12 issues of The Metropolitan. They have, for the most part been, articulate, insightful, informative and educational. Most of the letters exemplify what a free and open exchange of ideas is all about. It did not take me long to discover, that people tend to write about things they find offensive or with which they disagree. And that is OK. I want to hear anything you have to say. However, I have become a bit disappointed in some of the personal attacks brandished in our opinion pages. For a while it seemed people were more concerned with attacking someone else's views, than just presenting their own.

Poor english can destroy your point An open letter to Passarelli:

Steven R.

Your letter that that appeared in the October 20th edition of The Metropolitan was quite articulate and brought up some good points. Although my opinion in the topic varies from yours, I found myself thinking you to be a good writer capable of expressing his ideas in a clear manner. Then I got to your last sentence. "F--- Rush Limbaugh." I found this statement to be very disappointing. First of all, you should have ended that statement with an exclamation mark, not a period. More importantly, I was disappointed that your argument which had

been built more or less on reason suddenly reverted to pure emotion, and an emotion of hate on top of that. the intellectual prowess that I had credited you with flew out the window. The most disappointing part of this crass statement was the fact that it had no relevance to the rest of your letter and no reason was given for that statement. To my knowledge, Rush has not taken a stand or even made a comment on multicultl,Jralisim on this campus, or even heard of Metro, so what Limbaugh or your opinion of him have to do with your letter is completely beyond me. Also, this is a place of higher learning. As such, you should have learned in english 102 to back up any opinions you state with facts, details,

data, analogies, and examples. Instead, you decided to rely on an overused obscenity more appropriate for teamsters and longshoremen than a student trying to better himself. In, short Mr. Passarelli, with thirteen letters and three dashes, you destroyed the statements you made with the previous 11 paragraphs. Bill Keran, Metro Student, recipient of an 'A' in eng.102

Mr. Keran's letter appears as it was received. It is normally our policy to correct grammatical and contextual errors.

Dave Flomberg November 4 will go down as one of the darkest days in Israel's history. Her first Prime Minister to work for peace, not just survival, was brutally gunned down at a world peace rally. The gunman is a Jew. One thing my people have always held dearly is a strong sense of unity. Twenty centuries of "Christian love" have taught us that we need to stand together to stand strong. But what happened last Saturday shook the very foundation of that belief. Not a lone gunman, but a representative of a group of right-wing Zionist extremists, gave my people a slap in the face, showing us that none are immune to the threat of terrorism from within. But what happens now? Yitzhak Rabin, the leader of the Israeli peace movement is dead, so where does that leave the process? I think that one of two things will happen. If Rabin's successor, Shimon Peres, is re-elected next year, then I

think the after-effect of the assassination will manifest itself positivelythose who called for peace before will now scream for it, those who were indifferent before will now call for it. As a result, the peace process will snowball, and more progress will be made at an exponential rate. Or, Benjamin Natenyahu could be elected, at which point, the self-rule Rabin gave to the Palestinians on the West Bank will most certainly be revoked. Those Palestinians will then revolt, and the result will probably be Israel's most bloody war to date. At this end, we must not let this latter scenario happen. Everyone, Jews and Palestinians alike must stand and scream for things to progress. Do not let Rabin's death be for naught.

Letters

Let's pretend that Metro is· an Ivy League School Dear Editor: Let's pretend that Metropolitan State College of Denver came to realize its vastly underutilized potential as an institution of higher learning. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that Metro would rather play "let's pretend" than "let's get down to business." While CU is busy competing for international science awards, and CSU is readily developing its image as one of the region's finest, Metro is stumbling all over itself trying to find out why only 26 percent of its students graduate, and only 4 percent graduate in four years. It is a matter of pride. Metro can no longer plead the excuse of the infant urban college. It turned 30 this month, time to grow up. There are obvious and practical solutions to Metro's problems, which only a few of the current administrators seem to have the courage to address, for fear of rocking the boat. Gaunt graduation statistics, campus overpopulation, and our haunting image as the "poor stepdaughter of higher education," all derive from the same source, that is, Metro's open door admission policy. Metro's lax admission standards are the focal point for criticism by the school's critics, and by the community-at-large. An example of the effects of this situation is that the number of high school seniors who enrolled at Metro this fall dropped 8.8 percent. This school has generally failed in recruiting the best and brightest in Colorado. Instead we allow any warm body in the door, many of whom haven't displayed any interest in working hard, and consequently take up the administration's and faculty's time with a myriad of excuses and complaints, as well as wasting valuable class space and time for students interested in learning.

Metro is not a community college, and it needs to quit acting like one if it doesn't want to be seen as one. Auraria campus already has one very good community college, we don't need two. Furthermore, while community colleges serve a vital role in giving people a second chance, Metro, as a four year college like CU and CSU, has a right to expect more than mediocrity from its current and potential students, and from itself. There is a definite statistical correlation between admission standards and graduation rates throughout colleges and universities nationwide. I am not suggesting that Metro join the Ivy league. I am suggesting that Metro start taking pride in itself and demanding excellence on the part of administrators, faculty staff, students, and athletes. That means ending an impractical open-door admissions policy which causes more problems than it solves. By raising Metro's admission standards, three beneficial results would be felt almost immediately: 1. Metro population would drop-off some, making classes more accessible and ending the space debate. 2. The schools' image as an academic institution would increase dramatically both in the community and with potential employers of Metro graduates, 3. graduation rates would increase, the intellectual atmosphere would develop, and student involvement would grow as student's pride in their institution grew. But what happens to a student who couldn't get in to Metro? The same thing that happens to all students who can't get into their first choice of colleges. They attend a community college until they prove that they are willing and able to do the work, then they transfer here to graduate with a degree that they can be proud of. Let's face it, if you can't get at least a 2.3 GPA in high school it is because

you are either lazy or brain dead. If laziness is the cause, than a year or two at CCD might be the best medicine. If you are brain dead, than you don't belong in college. I also propose a sliding scale balo.nce between entrance test scores and GPA. That way if you are very gifted but unmotivated you are given a shot, and if you are a poor tester but hard worker you will likewise be given a chance. The purpose is to eliminate those with neither the ability or desire to meet college-level academic requirements. · This college has developed something of a victim mentality. A healthy dose of hard-earned accomplishment and pride would do the school a world of good. There is no reason at all why Metro can't become the preeminent college in Denver. Our school is, after all, conveniently located; is in close proximity to the metropolitan centers of culture (i.e. the Denver Public Library, the symphony and galleries); and is a crossroads for people of all cultures and from all walks of life. Where else can you interact with business people, beggars, beatniks, rednecks, yuppies, and foreigners all in the same campus? Metro's incubation period is over. Our energies now must turn to transforming our school into something special. This means making tough, sometimes unpopular decisions in the face of adversity, for the good of the college. It means demanding and receiving excellence. It is a matter of respect. Or we can all just keep pretending.

Infectious infant grunge band Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

n June of 1994 the Newcastle, Australia power grunge trio, Silverchair, won the chance of a lifetime with their song, "Tomorrow." The band was chosen out of 800 entries in a national demo competition to have a day in the recording studio at Australia's hottest alternative radio station 2JJJ-FM. From there the rest is history. Silverchair's "Tomorrow," became the number-one song in Australia before the band even made a record deal. This led to their recognition in the United States as a formidable grunge-band. The three youngsters that make up Silverchair, Daniel Johns (guitar, vocals), Chris Joannou (bass) and Ben Gillies (drums), who are now all 16-years-old, "started rocking together in high school with no prior experience, just the heart to play," Joannou said in a telephone interview.

In order to stay true to their music and avoid getting caught up in the glory of stardom, Silverchair has turned down countless interviews with national magazines, teenmagazines, and daily newspapers. Instead they focus their attention to street-level magazines and credible music press, Joannou said. Joannou emphasized that it is more important for members of Silverchair to gain street credibility so they can prove themselves as a relentless, powerful band. The band's first album Frogstomp, was recorded in just nine days and begins with a subterranean bass line, joined a moment later by a matching buzz-drenched guitar lick. The drums kick in slowly and bring forth a thunderous roar from lead vocalist, Johns. Last week at a concert in Melbourne, Australia, in mosh fashion , Silverchair's Daniel Johns attempted one of his routine stage dives into the crowd, only this time, instead of being caught, he slipped through the crowd and ended up on the floor. "Johns became sort of a human Gumby for a few minutes as both security and the fans tugged at Johns from

In the meantime, these grungy kids plan "to keep on rockin," Joannou said. Silverchair will perform with The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Flaming Lips Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at McNichols Arena.

Student courts death, dan·g er U.S. Ski Team snowboarder lives life on the cutting-edge Donna Hickey The METROPOLITAN DOWN AND DIRTY: Detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) and attorney Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) take a few minutes out for romance in the new action film Fair Game.

'Fair Game' a textbook flop Cindy Crawford's acting debut: good looks don't make a good actress Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

his movie just goes to show that good looks alone do not make an

·'

actress. The new Warner Bros. release Fair Game, is an allaround textbook flop. It is a perfect example of what happens when Hollywood tries to pluck someone from one performance profession and stick them on screen: everything falls apart. The movie opens with an attempt made on the life of divorce attorney Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford). She is taken to make a police report, where she meets Detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin). It becomes obvious that she wants to get him in the sack, and the movie take off from there. Anyway, the rest of the movie is as predictable as Old Faithful. The bad guys start pursuing McQueasy, I mean McQuean, and Kirkpatrick becomes her knight in nauseous armor. Ho-hum. This movie is so obnoxious, even the bad guy bites. First of all, his name is Kasak (perhaps a reference to the Gestapo-like regime of early Soviet history?), he is an ex-KGB assassin out to gain access to the world's banking industry via computer. He charters a boat to take him to an underwater junction box so that he may tap into cyberspace.

Sound stupid yet? McQuean happens to represent the wife of the owner of the boat, and she is trying to acquire it in the divorce settlement. For some reason, she seems to pose a bigger threat to these guys than the Coast Guard, so they mobilize to take her out. They track her and Kirkpatrick across the United States in a most amusing manner. First, they pick up her trail when she orders a pizza from a neighborhood pizza shop. Why, in God's name, the shop was online is totally beyond me. Anyway, the Cossacks, I mean Mr. Kasak, kills all Kirkpatrick's friends and chases him and McQuean on.to a train. Which is about the funniest point in the movie. McQuean and Kirkpatrick are copulating in a baggage car when McQuean notices a would-be attacker sneaking up on them. Without missing a beat, she grabs Kirkpatrick's gun and puts four rounds in the killer. Then she gets captured by another bad guy, and then Kirkpatrick has to go save her and then he gets caught and then he has to escape and then ... You get the picture. Redeeming qualities? The ending credits. Even the direction was one-dimensional and uninteresting. The soundtrack was nothing to write home about, and the rest of the supporting cast was about as believable as a one-armed boxer. Skip it.

ou may have seen W styhn' the half pipe on ESPN Extreme Sports or studying in the library for her anthropology class. No matter what she does she is heads above the pack. First-semester Metro student, Listle Stokstad, 22, befriends death and danger while attending college on the side. Stokstad has survived an 80-foot fall and the horror of a snowboard tearing her right hand open. In college, she is pursuing an education in the humanities. In the real world she is a snowboarder for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team and has been fierce competitor in this cutting-edge event for six years. Stokstad is sponsored by companies like: Rad Air snowboards from Austria, Stryke snowboard clothing from Boulder and Oakley sunglasses. Those are sponsors who have approached her or she solicited via resume and phone calls. Her U.S. Ski Team sponsors are Nike and Phoenix Clothing of Japan. She is really excited about being a part of the snowboard industry because women are getting a lot more exposure and respect these days. Stokstad explains that snowboarding has been dominated by teen-age boys so there has been some attitude to overcome. She started snowboarding at the tender age of 14, "I was always a tomboy. I tried it and loved it,"she said. She began by competing in regional and resort contests. She entered alpine races, which are speed events. Stokstad's passion is not limited to snow. "I'm really into school," she said, "It is hard to concentrate when you've got this other thing going on."

She is currently studying anthropology and cross-cultural communications, which she said helps her to understand the cultures she encounters in her travels. Her team travels from January through March competing in various ski events. Stokstad's event is the half pipe. She is judged on how high she reaches on each side of the pipe, difficulty of trick she pulls on the turn, style and landing. To be on the team, she is required to keep a journal on her exercise regime and take a fitness test and drug test. "I really have to bust my buns now," she laughingly said about her fitness test in January. Stokstad works out six days a week as well as keeps up with her studies. Vail opens this weekend, which will give her ~ve days a week on snow, she said. During training at the U.S. Ski Team headquarters in Park City, Utah, last July, she severed three tendons in her right hand. She was training on aerial jumps, with a plastic ramp that leads to a pool of water for developing half pipe tricks.

Donna Hickey/The METROPOLIT.AN

SNOW QUEEN: Metro student Listle Stokstad globe-trots with the U.S. Ski Team when she's not in school. "It didn't matter how you landed because the water was there," she said recounting the accident, "So I went to do a back flip and the edge of my snowboard cut through my hand and severed three tendons." Her arm was in a cast for six weeks and her physical therapist said it would take six months for her hand to heal. She had full motion in her hand in two weeks. "My physical therapist about fainted ," she said with a smile. Stokstad said she feels as though she has a guardian angel. Last spring she was in a skydiving accident that left her immobile for a while. Her parachute collapsed and she fell 80 feet to the ground. She had three cracked vertebrate in her neck, bit half her tongue off, broke all the toes on her left foot, broke her left wrist and had severe internal bruises. "I had a bandage on every limb," she laughs while extending her limbs into the form of someone in a body cast. "Now I have a lot of close friends in the hospital and great friends in the medical field ." Eventually she hopes to work in the world of snowboarding, but right now she is working on an education on which to fall back. "My parents are afraid I am gonna be a ski bum," Stokstad said with a roll of her eyes. Until then, she will continue to go to Metro in the summer and fall when she is not globe-trotting with the U.S. Ski Team.

Metro's Indoor Airport takes off Steve Titus The METROPOLITAN

etro celebrated. the official take-off of its new flight-simulation laboratory, the World Indoor Airport, last Thursday. A huge spotlight in the parking lot, cutting a beam through a snowy sky directed everyone, from Metro President Sheila Kaplan to aviation legend E.B. Jeppesen, to what many in the field of flight consider the finest collegiate aerospace training operation in the state of Colorado. 'This school ranks at the top in flight training; none are above it," said Gregory Michael, Manager of the Federal Aviation Administration's Denver Flight Standards District Office. He said the new facility represents one of the FAA's goals of improving flight safety through more thoroughly trained pilots. The FAA is one of the sources of grant money for the facility. Robert Mock, chairman of the Aerospace Department, acknowledged Michael's accolades and praised the Aerospace Department's staff and students for all their hard work. "Since starting in 1987 I've survived three vice presidents, four presidents, and a dean," Mock said. "Everyone has worked extremely hard on this facility, but it's the students, the students make it the

best program in the world." Mock said the World Indoor Airport is housed in a pressurized climate-controlled room. The temperature is kept at 72 degrees, plus or minus two degrees, with a constant relative humidity of 50 percent. The floor is suspended, with each 18-inch tile insulated and grounded to prevent static electricity from causing problems with the approximately 35 computers it takes to handle the 12 flight simulators and five air traffic-control simulators. Mock, a former U.S. Air Force Colonel, wrote all the grants and secured over $1.2 million dollars to help pay for the high-tech facility. Guests at the opening included former Aerospace Department graduates; Pam Bugg, widow of Robert Bugg, the departments former simulator instructor; representatives of United Airlines, who donated two DC-10 simulators; Rudy Fransca, president of Fransca International, designer and manufacturer of the flight simulators; and flight industry legend, E.P. Jeppesen. Robert Bugg was one of the original flight instructors for Metro when simula:: tors were portable desk-top models. Bugg, along with his wife, Pam, would spend their weekends maintaining the problematic units so students would have something to fly during the week. Jeppesen is a living history book with

Diego, is available at the campus book store for $9.95. Her book takes a look at life, memories, death, loss and love -- love that never happened; love that could have happened but didn't end well and other "live stuff," Ruderman said. One of her poems, "Paper Shade," a poem about waiting, took first prize at the prestigious 49th Parallel Poetry Awards in Bellingham, Washington. She beat out more than 1,000 other entries,

she said. Ruderman made her first poetry publication a family affair. She incorporated the artistic talents of her mother, Luis, and her "Scheerschnitten," German scissors or silhouette technique, which Luis learned in her native Berlin as a girl. Ruderman's 92-year-old uncle, Roland Detre, a nationally and locally known artist, painted the cover piece for Poems.

The METROPOLITAN

NOVEMBER 10, 1995

Long, losing season finally ends for both soccer teams Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Soccer season has ended and not a day too soon for Metro's men's and women's teams. Both squads finished in last place in the Colorado Athletic Conference. The men's team fell two victories short of last season's total of seven, but started a new era with a first-year head coach. The women followed a season in which they were ranked as high as No. 3 nationally with a dismal and disappointing year. The expectations coming in were quickly extinguished when it became apparent that the team lacked scoring power.

Men The men's team was rebuilding from top to ,bottom as 1995 ushered in a new era for the team. Brian Crookham took over the team after Al Ashton ended his three-year stint as coach last season. Crookham accepted the challenge of leading a squad that finished 7-13 a year ago and didn't look to be on the verge of a dramatic turnaround. The season proved to be a test for both players and coaches as a season ending injury to starting goal keeper Larry Sersante forced Crookham to go with inexperienced keepers for the majority of the season. Couple that with three freshman defend-

_.;

ers and you reap a 5-15 finish for the young Roadrunners. The team had just three seniors, which proved to be costly this year but should bode well for the future. Metro has nine freshmen and 11 sophomores who were baptized into the fire this year and could make this a very competitive team next season.

Women The women's team was forced to deal with the loss of key players and never found the goal-scoring or leadership that Rosie Durbin provided for Metro. The Roadrunners struggled through their worst season ever, finishing 2-13-2 overall with a last place 1-9-2 CAC record. Much like the men's team, however, there is a good core of young, talented players who will likely make this team a competitive force in seasons to come. Tracey Mays is capable of scoring, but coach Ed Montojo admitted that by playing her in the middle, she is less !!ffective. Montojo will likely try to find someone to play in the middle to free up Mays to run the wing where she can use her speed and quickness to score. If Montojo can have a good off-season recruiting, his returning core of players will be cause for optimism.
