AMC deal hinges on benefits Theater expansion rests on advantage to Auraria schools Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

Auraria representatives said it was AMC who initiated the possibility of reviving the movie theater expansion deal, and the college agreed out of concern for the future of the student union. Dean Wolf, executive vice-president of administration for Auraria, said he's spoken with AMC three or four times about reviving the plan to double the size of the Tivoli-theater complex since he took office Aug. 1. Wolf said he consulted Manuel Martinez, chairman of the Auraria Board, who suggested looking into the deal. One of Wolf's concerns is the Student Bond Fund. This year, Auraria was forced to make cuts in numerous areas such as the Auraria Book Center and the Auraria Child Care Center to help cover a $640,000 shortfaII in the bond-fund budget. "We need to look at the budget over the next two to three years," he said. "We need to look at options." Some of those options include refinancing the bonds at a lower interest rate or reviving the AMC deal. "First we have to understand what the problem is and then you begin to craft solutions," Metro President Sheila Kaplan said. "AMC is only one possible solution." Wolf said he would not agree to go forward with the deal until he is sure that Auraria will benefit. He said that isn't the case right now. "I'm not prepared to tell you we're getting the best deal," he said.

Enrollment remains an enigma Christine Richardson The METROPOLITAN

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education is predicting an increase in college enrollment despite the fact that it has been decreasing for the past three years. Total Full-Time Equivalent (FfE) enrollment, which decreased over the last two years, is expected to increase at all Colorado colleges from 138,500 in 199495to 139,320 in 1995-96;--according to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's Fall Enrollment Report. This .6 percent rate of increase would be the second-highest level ever. Metro's total FTE enrollment is expected to decrease from 12,246 to 12,120, al percent drop. "Our predictions follow historical relationships between spring and fall," said Jim Worsham, information services analyst for the commission. ''People that show up in the Fall show up in the Spring and carry a consistent course load." In-state FTE enrollment for 1995-96 is expected to increase by 317 students, a .3 percent increase. The commission estimates that the 1995-96 FTE enrollment level will be the third highest ever. Metro's in-state FTE enrollment is expected to decrease from 11,923 students in 1994-95 to 11,790 for 1995-96. This is a 1. I percent decrease. "I take it (the Commission's predicted

increase) with a shaker of salt," said Metro Registrar Tom Gray. 'They sometimes don't consider the non-traditional students like the ones at Metro and UCD.'' Out-of-state FfE enrollment is expected to increase 2.4 percent in 199596. The increase from 21,357 to 21,860 is the highest growth ever. The commission predicts that the out-of-state enrollment rate of change to be significantly higher than in-state growth. Metro's out-of-state FTE enrollment is predicted to rise to 330 in 1995-96 from 323 in 1994-95, an increase of 2.2 percent. The fall 1995 Colorado headcount enrollment, the actual number who are enrolled, is 178,830, a decrease of .2 percent compared to fall 1994. This is the third year that the opening headcount has decreased, however this year's decrease

was the smallest of the three. The commission's predictions follow last year's "Access to Success," which predicted a 22 percent increase of in-state FrE students by the year 2001. Access to Success is the name of the document including enrollment figures for 1993-94 and predictions for 1994-95. It also includes solutions to problems which might arise from the predicted boom. "The enrollment increases will still come," said Jim Worsham, the information services analyst for CCHE. 'There is a drastic increase in K- 12 students and that will affect college enrollment." The information used to derive the commission's.. predictions came from annual institutional reports by the commission and the National Center for Educational Statistics.

Campus clubs converse with Metro president Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

Representatives from campus clubs were given time to voice concerns to Metro President Sheila Kaplan about issues ranging from catering to funds. About 15 members from various Metro clubs attended the intimate gathering in the Tivoli on Wednesday. The Society of Automotive Engineers was first to voice concern over obtaining funds. Each club has its own account on campus but must submit requests to obtain funds from their account. The automotive engineers are building a car to compete with 60 other colleges and universities in a race in Tempe, Ariz. If they need a part for their car they must wait for funds, which can take anywhere from two to six weeks. "When we break something and we need to get a part right away, we have to wait six weeks," said Gy Wooden, a member of the automotive society. Continued page 5 '

Starting this spring, Metro will have another shot at managing the tuition deferral program that originally lost the school over $1 million. Metro student government currently supervises the program. The delayed payment plan allows students who cannot come up with their entire tuition in one payment, to be eligible for a deferral program. Mike Barnett, Metro's assistant vice president of Business Affairs, said the school is expecting up to I 0 percent of the student body to participate in the program. "We really hope it will help some students stay in school," Barnett said. Metro is basing the amount of students who may participate on a similar program that University of ColoradoDenver offers to its students, Barnett said. Joe Arcese, Metro's vice president of Administration and Finance, said that in 1975 Metro managed a tuition-deferral program. Because no regulations ex.isted stating who was eligible to use it, Metro lost over $1 million due to students not paying the tuition back. It ended in 1979. Arcese also said that once the money was paid back, the Student Government Association improvised another payment program due to student demand in the fall

of 1993, but this time there were much stronger eligibility restrictions. This semester will be the last for the program to be under student governments superviBarnett sion. Arcese said the program run by student government never lost a penny. Approved this fall, the new program requires students to be enrolled in six or more credit hours, ineligible for financial aid and not sponsored by a third party. Students who want to participate in the deferral program will have to attend a mandatory budgeting session presented by the Student Finance Resource Center. In-state students will have to pay a $50 fee and non-resident students will pay a $100 fee per semester to enter the program. The program also requires that 40 percent of the total tuition and fees are paid by the regular due date. Another 30 percent is due six weeks later and the final payment must be paid six weeks after that.

Kaplan confronts concerns From page 3 Yolanda Ortega-Erickson, Metro's dean of Student Life, said that the club accounts must be kept on campus and there is very little that can be done to change the paperwork and process to get funds. Cory Baldwin of Alpha Eta Rho, an aerospace fraternity, also encountered problems with funding. His club had to shell out over $400 of its own money for an event because it was unable to get campus funds in time. Recruitment of members was also a problem for some. They are looking for ways to improve it. Ortega-Erickson said the campuswide events, such as the campus involvement week held earlier this semester, were a good way to entice more people to become involved. There were also suggestions to find which academic department the club is associated with and look for potential members there. Kaplan said recruiting is tougher at Auraria because it is a commuter campus, but that shouldn't discourage clubs. "The wonderful array of programming we have here gets to be used by those who want to use it, and the others get to pay," she said.

Grade appeal procedure passes Committee offacuity and one student will review course work Anne Hall • The METROPOLITAN

The Metro Faculty Senate voted 27 to 18 to approve the sixth draft of the grade appeals procedure, clearing the way for approval by Provost Sharon Siverts and President Sheila Kaplan. The policy outlined in the draft allows students to appeal a grade by having a committee of professors and one student review their course work. It was revised over the past semester by members of the Faculty Senate, Metro student government and Scott Silzer, Metro's attorney. Siverts said she plans to review the revised procedure with Senate President Gene Saxe and give approval as long as the policy is reasonable for both students and faculty. Ill feelings arose between student government members and faculty during grade-appeal forums hosted by student government to gamer student input in the revisions. Among the thornier points raised were the legality of having one student review another's transcripts and giving a vote to students on a committee of only six. History professor Monys Hagen

Number of college smokers increasing Yoko Naito The METROPOLITAN

;

Thursday, Nov. 17 was the Great American Smokeout, established by the American Cancer Society. Nearly 18 million smokers nationwide planned to quit smoking for a day. Tobacco's bad effects are wellknown: cancers of lung, mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, uterus, cervix and bladder, heart disease, gastric ulcers, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and colds. Smoking causes such a large variety of diseases because cigarette smoke contains a large number of substances that affect different parts of the body. According to the estimation by the American Cancer Society, approximately 418,000 people in this country will die from smoking and smoking-related diseases this year. In Colorado, an estimated 1,200 people will die from lung cancer this year. Eighty-five percent of an lung cancers in this state could be prevented if cigarette smoking were eliminated, according to the American Cancer Society. The recent trend is an increase in the

PUFFIN' UP: A Metro student, who did not participate in the smoke out, drags on a cigarette outside The Boiler Room at the Tivoli Student Union. number of female smokers, especially among younger women, said Linda Wilkins-Pierce, a health counselor at the Auraria Student Health Center.

"The large population right now that is increasing is adolescent females," Wilkins-Pierce said. "The age between 13 and 18 is the largest population that begins

to start smoking." According to the U.S. department of Health and Human Services' survey in 1988, even though more men smoke than women, fewer female smokers stop smoking. If the current trend continues into the year 2000, 23 percent of females will smoke, compared to 20 percent of males. Wilkins-Pierce said that the number of college-student smokers is increasing. "Personally, I think it is increasing because it is much more accepted in high school," Wilkins-Pierce said. "However, usually when people get to college, they think about quitting smoking as they get towards their graduation," said Wilkins-Pierce. "It is a transition. It's like going from an environment where it is OK to smoke and where it is accepted, to social situations where it's very accepted, to where they're going into a world where it's not accepted." Wilkins-Pierce offers workshops for students who try to quit smoking on campus. In the workshop, she talks not only about quitting smoking but also about how to stay healthy. It is offered from 5: 15 to 6: 15 p.m. on Tuesdays at I 020 9th St. Park. The next session starts in January.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan's newly-appointed Diversity Management Task Force must answer the diversity question for Metro. Kaplan said that part of the task force's job is to come up with a budget for diversity and where the money will be spent. The initial report is due April 15 and will be released to the college community by May 6. Most of the task force members agree that diversity is everything. Race, gender, orientation, color, age, physically challenged, religion, ethnicity and creed is how they define diversity. How the task force defines diversity for the college is a different story and open for discussion. "I don't think I would leave anything out. I would include anything and everything," said Doug Cawley, chairman of the Department of Reading and task force member. Kaplan announced her intention to form the task force in her convocation speech at the beginning of the semester. Metro faculty, staff, administrators and students who expressed an interest in serving on the task force were nominated and their

di•ver•sity n., 1 quality, state, fact, or instance of being diverse; difference 2 variety (Webster's New World Dictionary)

nominations were submitted to Kaplan. She chose 15 people to serve on the task force, co-chaired by Sharon Siverts, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs and Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services. Kaplan charged the task force with developing a Diversity Management Action Plan that includes a "campus climate" survey, curriculum issues, and the recruiting and retention of diverse students and staff. Siverts said they hope students get involved and the task force meetings are open to anyone on campus.

Mel Munoz, vice president of diversity for Metro student government is the only formal student representative on the task force although the task force was encouraged to seek more student involvement in its first meeting, Nov. 16. Students wishing to have input can talk to Munoz, Haley said. Three sub-committees to diversity management were created to deal with each of the areas Kaplan addressed in her charge to the task force. Wilt Flemon, chairman of the curriculum sub-committee, said his committee is considering a European-American addition to the

multicultural definition for the college. "I don' t see how we can, in good faith, seek academic truth and omit one of the predominant cultures," Flemon said. To meet the current multicultural requirement, Metro students must take three credit hours of study in one of the following cultures: African American, Asian American, Hispanic American or Native American. Many professors say multiculturalism cannot be taught in a mere three credit hours. Luis Torres, chairman of the Chicano Studies Department, said he would like to see at least three more credit hours required in Metro's curriculum. "At this rate, students won't graduate with the knowledge of more than one race," Torres said. Cawley said the multicultural classes offered now are really mono-culture and he would like to see one class looking at a variety of cultures. Peggy Shepherd, a journalism major, agrees that more cultures should be added to all classes. "They are acting like the only Continued on next page

From previous page diversity a person has is whether they are Hispanic, American Indian or African American. They don't include the disabled or the run-of-the-mill cultures and the fact that I'm Irish and somebody else is Arab," she said. How diverse is Metro? Figures released by the office of Institutional Research indicate that Metro enrolled 9,437 women and 7,975 men in the 1994 fall semester. Minorities made up 16 percent of Metro's student population in 1990. Since then, Metro's minority student population has grown to 21 percent in fall 1994. Joseph Sandoval, professor of Criminal Justice, said Metro is not diverse in that it "caters to the economic rniddleclass." "Metro needs to reach out more to the community, making education available to those who may not otherwise attend college," he said. He also said Metro needs to do a better job assisting those people once they are here. · Sandoval will get a chance to work on that issue as a member of the task force working on recruitment and retention. The sub-committees are gathering information to develop a plan to retain and recruit a more diverse student population. "Campus climate" is a diversity buzzword. It means the diversity atmosphere or environment of the campus. Metro's campus climate in terms of '•

"racial harmony" was surveyed last fall in The American College Testing Association Student Opinion Survey done by the office of Student Services. Of the 757 randomly selected Metro students surveyed, 41 percent stated they were "satisfied" with racial harmony while seven percent were "dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied." Students were also asked in the survey what they thought of Metro's cultural diversity programs. Almost half of the students did not attend any of the programs and 18 percent said they had a better appreciation of cultural diversity after attending these programs. Yolanda Ortega-Erickson, dean of Student Life and chairwoman of the subcommittee dealing with campus climate, said the committee's goal is to find ways to create a better diversity climate for all students and faculty. "I think when everyone has the opportunities, professionally and personally, that's when we will have achieved our goal," Ortega-Erickson said. CJ. White, chairman of African American Studies, said the campus climate at this point reflects the climate of the United States. 'There seems to be some indication of retrenchment on earlier efforts in the area of creating an open and harmonious campus," White said. "There seems to be an increase in the level of distrust and suspicion between the different groups." White attributes this climate to the

Some of the commentary relating to those cases served as a reminder that we are still not there," said White of racial integration. "We must be optimistic," White said, adding that he has reason to be. "With the present leadership of Metropolitan State campus we find a very vocal commitment to improving the campus climate." Karen Bensen, coordinator of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services, said the campus climate is varied. ''We have never had more supporters or allies, we' ve also never had more opponents or people who hate us as we do now," Bensen said. "It is polarized, there are very few people in the middle anymore." Two people instrumental in bringing diversity to Metro are Karen Krupar, professor of Speech and Beth Frederick, associate professor of Management. For five years these women worked on bringing speakers to Metro for diversity workshops. Krupar also developed a newsletter called The Diversity Factor which is critical of Metro's diversity efforts, calling them slow. "I would like to see the Task Force get up and do something," Krupar said.

AMC.· the sequel This time things surrounding the AMC movie theater deal will be different. Or at least that is what Auraria Board Chairman Manual Martinez says. Well, don't take the rhetoric at face value. Yes, the Auraria Board and the three institutions on campus want to find a way to make the Tivoli Student Union financially self-sufficient. But students are kidding themselves if they think it is going to be done without dipping into their pockets. Yes, Martinez said things are going to be different this time. Things will be more open. ( I suppose that means the Auraria Board won't conduct an illegal executive session like the first time they worked on this deal) If things are going to be more open this time, I wonder why the announcement concerning the AMC deal was left off the agenda for the Nov. 13 meeting of the Auraria Board? Martinez said it was to allow the board time to notify the presidents of Metro, the University of Colorado-Denver and the Community College of Denver. It looks like the Auraria Board has to get their approval before they can do anything. That would make things very different. So what exactly will the difference be? Not much. Things will progress just as they did before. Except this time Metro President Sheila Kaplan will be in favor of the deal. She will say this is the only way to keep the students from shouldering the financial burden of the Tivoli {which we are going to do anyway). She emerged as a powerful figure following the defeat of the initial AMC proposal. Her main rival at Auraria, JoAnn Soker, resigned as executive vice president of administration. She received positive press from the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Business Journal. Graphic by Elvira Lucero

LOOKING

AT LIFE Louis A. Landa

So this time what will she have to gain? Now she has a chance to be the peacemaker and the one who will give a little to benefit the students. Yeah right. If you believe that, I have some old tennis courts to sell you. Once again it is up to the students to determine the validity of the new proposal. I caution all students to be wary of administrators from all three institutions. They will be looking to you to support their efforts, either in favor or against the proposal. If they get your support they can shout it to the world. So please examine this issue closely. I feel completely torn when it

comes to the AMC expansion. Something needs to be done to make the Tivoli Student Union a facility that operates in the black. It will take a great deal of money. Current projections still show the Tivoli as having an operating deficit of $750,000. Don't forget the circus surrounding the Auxiliary Services Budget in August. The Auraria Board made Auraria, Tivoli Management, Metro, UCO and CCD jump through hoops like Russian bears in order to cut the budget. Martinez said that Gov. Roy Romer instructed him to clear-up the financial mess on this campus without dipping into the reserves or raising student fees. If those were Romer's instructions, I would be very surprised. Romer is too concerned with his upcoming run for the Senate to give much thought to this campus. Earlier this year the Tivoli was called a "commercial success" and Soker said it was the student facilities that were causing the deficit. This was one of the early attempts to soften the blow of a student-fee increase. The crazy thing about raising our student fees is there is very little students can do to stop it. The Auraria Board can raise our student fees to support the Tivoli as they see fit. They will say that we voted for the building and that is that. The problem is only 1,458 students voted in favor of the 1991 referendum approving the Tivoli purchase. So get ready. I suppose we have to trust long time bureaucrats to do what a private corporation could not, and that is to operate the Tivoli efficiently and profitably. They have to take a sick white elephant and teach it to tap dance. That is something I would very much like to see.

Debby Diebold finds time in between dancing and teaching to study in the Auraria Library.

Caren Diebold (right) fits the Rose Fairy tutu for her daughter's performance in "The Nutcracker." She is the owner of Dream Dress Creations and has made all of Debby's ballet costumes.

Girls from the Academy of Classical Ballet's Ballet Prep II class practice passes at the barre as their teacher Debby Diebold demonstrates the proper technique.

ix little girls squirming in their small pink tights and soft-pink leather ballet shoes wave midnight blue chiffon scarves. Dressed in a rainbow of colorful leotards and tutus, their every movement is caught and reflected in the 50-foot long wall of mirrors. Wriggling, they wait for instructions from their teacher. A petite, slender woman, not much larger than the children, her hair in a bun, steps to the head of the line with her toes pointed, head held up high, shoulders back and stomach in. ''Let's take turns. Chasse," (pronounced sha-say) she says. "Can you show me how to chasse?" A girl with a blond ponytail performs a small stepleap-step sequence. "Good," the teacher responds and then asks the group, "Do you remember the cat and dog?" She steps forward on her right foot. brings the left one to meet the right, and steps forward again with the right foot. As she demonstrates she explains, "The cat and dog are running. The cat catches up to the dog and the dog runs away." This is only one of the many fun techniques ballet teacher Debby Diebold, 22, uses to teach four- to sixyear-old girls in the Saturday morning pre-ballet class at the Academy of Classical Ballet in Lakewood. She teaches through fun activities that look like the children are just playing games, but they are learning movement. However, Diebold, is not always the teacher. During the week she switches roles and becomes the student. Not only is she a ballet student, but a Metro student as well. As a senior, majoring in history, she plans to graduate in May and then try dancing professionally. Her goal is to dance with the Colorado Ballet and one day be a prima ballerina, ballet's first lady. Her desire to become a prima ballerina formed at an early age. When Diebold was six-years-old she and her mother went to a Capezio store on Hollywood Boulevard in California to buy her first pair of pink ballet slippers. She was excited because up until this time she had been wearing . black shoes, which she hated and still does to this day. While in the store, prima ballerina Natalia Makarova came in to pick up a batch of shoes. Diebold's mother recognized her and urged Diebold to get Makarova's autograph. She did, and later that afternoon saw Makarova perform in "Coppelia," a classic ballet about a doll maker who makes magic dolls. That performance proved to be the motivating factor for Diebold's decision to become a ballerina. Diebold credits her parents, James and Caren, for her interest in ballet because they introduced her, her younger brother Peter and older brother Chris to the arts early in their lives. "I think that seeing really, really good dancers at a young age, really put it into me: that's what I want to do," she says. ''That's exactly what I would do when I got older." Most people around her don't know that ballet was not the only form of dancing to which Diebold was exposed. Her first experience with dance came when she was 18-months-old when she attended belly dancing classes with her mother. After a while she started belly dancing herself. To this day, she still enjoys Middle Eastern music and watching and practicing belly dancing. "I don't tell anyone because I hate to have people ask me 'Oh I'm having a party can you come and belly dance for us?'" she says and laughs. "So, I really try and keep it to myself."

Once again, ballet drew her back. Ballet has been good for her, at least that is the way she sees it. "It's given me a lot of confidence, it's a big stress reliever for me, because I can go in, I can forget about everything and I can dance, she says. "It's like I'm dancing from my soul sometimes." Meanwhile, between all "The Nutcracker" rehearsals, she continues to take ballet lessons. She learns techniques from the five main schools of ballet from four teachers. Learning Cecchetti (Italian), French, Royal Academy of Dance (British), Danish and Russian makes her a better all-around dancer. She works hard at perfecting her dancing and goes through eight to I0 pairs of special ordered Freed size 5xx (ballet sizing) pointe shoes a year (approximately three sizes under her street shoe size). Besides dancing, she finds teaching enjoyable. Her students at Westside Dance in Golden and the Academy of Classical Ballet range from children to adult. Her classes are not limited to females alone, she also teaches a class for boys. This class is especially challenging for her, and she has found that she has to be masculine with them as well as being tough. Diebold uses different rules for the boys. She believes ballet is more of sports conditioning for boys where they need strength, flexibility and discipline. Patience seems to be her strong suit for teaching children. Louise James whose two daughters Heidi and Hilary take lessons with Diebold says, "Her patience is the key thing - and ability. "She can keep their attention, teach basic techniques without them getting bored." Six-year-old student Emily Woods puts a differen1 spin on Diebold's teaching.

The

METROPOLITAN

Computer animation not just toying around Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

t took over 400 models, three years, and 110,064 frames of computer animation to create the stunning 77-minute animated movie called Toy Story. John Lasseter, who was behind the 1989 Oscar-winning animated short Tin Toy, conceived and directed Toy Story. The computer animation was done by Pixar, the same company that did animation for Tin Toy, which claims to be the world's first digital animation studio. The total computer memory storage for the movie took one terabyte. That is enough storage to run I million copies of Microsoft Word 5. I. The movie starts with every toys' worst nightmare new toys invading the room. Andy, the boy who owns all the toys, is having a birthday. The toys, who only spring to life when no people are present, are wondering who will be joining the gang and who will be the next favorite. Andy's current favorite is a cowboy doll named Woody (Tom Hanks). Woody sends a bucket of toy soldiers out to monitor the party. Sure enough, Woody's nightmare comes to life and he soon finds his popularity slipping to Andy's newest toy, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), who thinks he's a real spaceman and not a toy. Woody's battle to be number one again lands both he and Buzz in the house of the sadistic Sid, the

kid next door whose favorite hobby is torturing toys. The two must band together to try and get back to Andy's before they fall victim to Sid's cruelty. The most amazing part of this movie is the animation. Some computer animation forces you to be aware that you're watching it which can become annoying. Toy Story concentrates more on being an animated cartoon. The computer animation is there, but it adds to the enjoyment of the movie, rather than being the focus of it. The detail on the animation is fascinating. Great care was taken to make sure the toys were realistic and there are even little things like paint peeling on the walls of Andy's room. However, one problem that this movie encounters is the inability to make the adults look realistic. They look somewhat like the toy characters, but it is nothing that detracts from the film. Hanks and Allen do a fantastic job as the voices of Woddy and Buzz. They seem to fit each character perfectly. Also turning out an excellent performance is Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head. The plot is pretty simple, but there is something there for everyone. It is your basic Disney movie: conflict followed by a happy ending, so children should enjoy it. There are a few jokes tossed in for the adults, as well. The movie uses only commonly known toys, so it will take some adults back to when they were young.

Sound Financial Advice for Students

Dear Financial Connections, I hear short term loans are no longer available for this semester. I anticipate needing some extra money around the holidays. Are there any other options for me? Signed, I'd rather be merry than broke!

Dear I'd rather be merry than

broke! It is true that there are no short-term loans available in-between the semesters. Are there any money options during the holidays? Yes, most are along the lines of emergency help. There are many resources available throughout the community to assist people with public service bills, food and shelter. If you don't have any money for gifts around the holidays try saving for next year. This year you can make gifts or send cards, sometimes these can be the most memorable gifts of all. Many banks have "Christmas Savings" plans. A typical plan takes a predetermined amount of money out out of your checking each month and deposits it automatically into a savings account. At the end of the year you will have a nice amount to spend on Christmas. This plan will keep you away from the credit crunch that so many people feel during the holidays. If you have to use credit during the holiday season, be sure to come to the next ~Budgeting Workshop·.

he Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company will take its show on the road to Africa in January. The trip will be made possible through the cooperative efforts of the U.S. IJnformation Agency, the Kenyan government and Metro. In July, a 15-member dance troupe from several companies in Kenya will bring a show to Denver. For three weeks, the Kenyan dancers will attend dance . workshops, exchange ideas for choreographic arrangements and perform at least one show, said Akbarali Thobhani, director of intercultural studies at Metro. The company, which recently celebrated its 25-year anniversary, is nationally recognized and has traveled and performed extensively in the United States, Eastern Europe, Turkey, and Africa, according to Thobhani. The dancers were touring military bases in Germany last October as guests of the U.S. Department of Defense before rendezvousing with Thobhani in Nairobi, Kenya. The visit in October was primarily a planning trip to see if they could gain support from other dance companies who might be interested in an exchange pro-

'The people in Nairobi are very excited, very supportive of this program.' -Akbarali Thobhani, director of intercultural studies at Metro

gram, Thobhani said. The exchange program originated when Robinson, along with approximately 25 other American dance companies, was asked to submit a proposal to the U.S. Information Agency, a branch of the U.S. State Department. The agency develops cultural exchange programs worldwide through the use of various art forms. "We chose Kenya because I've known Cleo for many years and she knows my work with African American studies," Thobhani said.

Thobhani, who speaks Swahili, acted as translator and tour guide for Robinson and her associate of 23 years, Marcie Freeman, as they ventured around Kenya's capital city. Having visited Kenya many times, Thobhani introduced them to a host of Kenyan government officials and to the U.S. liaison at the American embassy, who _ will be assisting them on their next visit. In late October, they met with several dance groups, some whose members will be visiting Auraria in July 1996. The Denver dancers were able to see some of the studios in Nairobi, learn some of the local customs and touch on a few ideas for the exchange program, Thobhani said. "The people in Nairobi are very excited, very supportive of this program," he said. The U.S. agency awarded the program a $75,000 grant, Thobhani said. But the cost will be much more than that, and is expected to be offset by contributions in Denver. Robinson's dance troupe, which tours with approximately 20 dancers, is awaiting confirmation from the airlines but should be departing Denver around Jan. 8. The Kenyans will perform at least one show at Robinson's dance studio at 119 Park Ave. West_in Denver.

·A long time ago. In a tar away land called the Westside. a community existed. Its heart was stolen In the name of progress. In the aching of this beating heart a mimcle has taken seed . . . this December. the community returns home.

Men's team off to 2-2 start Metro shows vast improvement from last year's 6-21 team Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Last season it took the men's basketball team 14 games to accomplish what it has done in just four games this season win twice. Metro is 2-2 after playing four nonconference games last week, including an impressive 108-82 drubbing of California Baptist on Friday at Auraria Events Center. Four Roadrunners scored in double figures and freshman Jeremy Ward put on a shooting clinic, setting a school record with eight three-pointers and finishing with a game-high 26 points. "Our young kids really stepped forward tonight," said Metro coach Charles Bradley. "We are very pleased with their performance tonight." Roadrunner Martin Glastetter, also a freshman, had a big game, scoring 22 points and collecting nine rebounds. Metro led 59-46 at halftime, shooting 55 percent and holding California Baptist to 48 percent from the floor while winning the rebounding battle 42-34. The Roadrunners shot even better in the second half, hitting 18-32 shots and drained 14-32 from three-point range in the game. Cory Reader and Justin Land chipped in 21 points apiece giving Metro consistent scoring inside and out. Bradley said he was happy with the team's overall performance and was glad to get his young players some valuable experience. "We were glad we were able to get them in there and allow them to do some things," Bradley said. This team's collection of talent is a marked improvement over last season's make-shift team that managed to win just six of 27 games. The Roadrunners displayed that improvement in the second game of the season Nov. 20 against the University of Northern Colorado. Last

season UNC humiliated Metro 102-72 at Auraria Events Center. Metro got sweet revenge, winning 74-71 in a game that was up for grabs until the final buzzer sounded. With a 72-71 lead and eight seconds remaining in the game, UNC's Jason Jacob missed a four-foot jumper that would have given the Bears the lead. Reader grabbed the rebound for Metro, was fouled and sank two free-throws with three seconds left and UNC's Marvin Jones missed a 45-foot desperation three as time expired. "Another one came down to the wire," Bradley said. "It's nice to see our kids keep their composure and stick to the game plan. "I always tell our kids, sooner or later, good things happen. This time it was our turn to win one of those close ones." C.J. Arellano, a rarely used back-up last season, finished with a game-high 24 points, including 4-8 from downtown. The Roadrunners lost the season opener Nov. 17 against Colorado School of Mines 69-67 after leading 38-35 at the half. Metro's other loss came against Westmont College Nov. 22, a 75-64 defeat. The Roadrunners trailed by seven at halftime but tied the score with a 7-0 run to start the second half, but turnovers cost them as they gave the ball up 18 times. "In the games that we have 15 or more turnovers, we are not very successful," Bradley said. "Our whole success ratio is based on taking care of the ball." Metro takes on Arizona College of the Bible Saturday at 3 p.m. at Auraria Events Center and will be in action over Christmas break. (See page 23 for winter sports schedule) The Roadrunners have seven games on the schedule from Dec. 15 through Jan. 18 with five of them being played at Auraria Events Center.

Women lose first two games before hitting stride against Sonoma State Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The women's basketball team opened its season the day before Thanksgiving but had little to be thankful for until the season's third game four days later. The Roadrunners lost on the eve of Turkey Day to the University of Nebraska-Omaha 80-74 and dropped an 83-71 decision two days later against the University of California-Davis Metro got outstanding performances from Vanessa Edwards and Chalae Collard in the two losses as both scored 25 points in the opener and 27 and 20 respectively against Cal-Davis. It wasn't until Saturday, however, that Metro could truly give thanks to the basketball gods. The Roadrunners trounced Sonoma State 73-49 for their first win of the season and can rest assured that scoring points will not be a problem this year. Edwards poured in 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and is averaging 27.7 points-per game. Collard is chipping in 19.7.

Consider the fact that Edwards won the scoring title in the Colorado Athletic Conference last year with a 17-point-per-game average and it's obvious that this can be a high-powered offense. Shooting guard turned point guard Tammi Baumgartner is dishing out nearly seven assists per game and averages 3. 7 steals, solidifying the team with her consistent play. In the season opening loss, Metro had every chance to win as they led 61-54 with JO minutes to play but Nebraska-Omaha went on a 13-6 run and tied the score at 67 with five minutes to ,play. Metro trailed 76-74 with 40 seconds remaining and blew a chance to tie when Baumgartner's pass sailed over Collard's head and Nebraska-Omaha sealed the win with a fast-break score. "I felt that they made the plays down the stretch, and we _ didn't make any," Said Metro coach Darryl Smith. "If we would have sucked it up and made that play, it would have been a different game. They took the ball right down the floor, laid it in, and the game was over."

Turnovers killed the Roadrunners as they committed 30 in the game, including six in the last five minutes. In Metro's victory over Sonoma, the Roadrunners broke a 29-29 halftime tie. with a 12-0 run in the first 3: 10 of the second half. Metro took control and never looked back as three players scored in double figures. Collard finished with 14 points and Shiloh Justice added 11. Metro won the battle inside, out-rebounding Sonoma 54-34 despite not have a single player over six-feet tall on the roster and playing just an eight woman rotation. Metro traveled to the West Texas A&M Invitational, which began Thursday. The Roadrunners faced Oklahoma Baptist but results were unavailable at press time. Metro faces Johnson C. Smith University tonight and will play West Texas A&M on Saturday. The Roadrunners return to Auraria Events Center on Monday to take on Montana State-Billings at 7 p.m.

Swimmers start slowly Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Metro's swimming teams are struggling this season with current records of 14 for the women and 2-3 for the men. These records, however, are "not at all indicative of our performance," coach Rob Nassar said. On Nov. 18, Metro hosted the Colorado School of Mines team. The Roadrunners endured a royal spanking with the women falling 84-117 and the men corning up short with 80-146. Fifth-season senior Darwin Strickland led the men's team with two first-place finishes in the 50and 100-yard freestyles (times of 21.81, 48.46), and a combined first place finish with freshman Mike True and sophomores Matt Calhoun and Scott Watson. True and Watson also had strong finishes against Mines with second place scores for the 200 yard free (I :48.42) and the 200 yard individual medley (2:06.56) respectively. However, these excellent times were not enough to dig the Roadrunners out of the hole. Still, as said by Coach Nassar, swimming is more of a sport at the individual level, and less of a team sport, so if the

teams' individual times are strong, then the team is doing well. As for the lady Roadrunners, many of the swimmers delivered strong performances including first place finishes for freshman Kristen Schweissing, who has already set five school records (200-yard free, 2:03.23, I 00-yard backstroke, 1:05.88, and the 500- yard free, 5:26.97), sophomores Angela Hillsten (50-yard free, 27.38 and 100 yard butterfly, 1:03.94) and Kelly Davis (200-yard I.M., 2:24.74 and the 100 yard breaststroke, I :13.58). Still even these scores could not overcome the Mines team. This type of team performance has hindered the swimmers against teams such as the University of South Dakota, University of Denver, and the University of Colorado-Boulder. This type of season may have been foreshadowed by the teams' performance in their first meet, the Early Bird Invitational at Fort Collins (Oct. 2728) as the women finished eighth in ten teams and the men came in fifth of eight. The team swam strong at this meet, especially Strickland (two first-place finishes) and the relay team of Strickland, True, Calhoun, and junior Tracy Fostvedt

John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN

SUPERMAN: Metro swimmer Scott Watson flies through the air as he enters the pool in the Roadrunners' Nov. 18 meet against Colorado School of Mines at the Auraria Events Center pool. (fourth-place score) for the men, as well as Schweissing (fifth-place finish) for the women. These finishes were only enough for the bottom percentile range at the meet. However, the strong individual scores hold the team together and they "can al least hold [their] own," according to Coach Nassar. Nassar said that, "so far, the season

looks like it's going exceptionally well." Next semester, Nassar noted that many returning swimmers will keep the season going well, as many of the Roadrunners are swimming up with their personal bests already in mid-season, especially the women.
