Stench closes Events Center Spray applied to suiface of pool causes foul odor

-

Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

Harsh-smelling vapors seeped out of the swimming pool construction area Tuesday forcing Auraria officials to close the Event Center for the remainder of the day.

People in the building noticed a strange odor around râ&#x20AC;˘.:x>n.

"I could smell something when I was workjng in my office around noon, then right around one the smell became really noticeable," said Bruce Morgenegg, associate professor of Human Performance, Sports and Leisure.

The vapors came from a synthetic finish spray that was applied to the surface of the swimming pool.

Dick Feuerborn Auraria director of Facilities Planning and Use was in the Events Center when the evacuation took place.

"When the smell became so obnoxious, I called Public Safety and Facilities Management," Feuerborn said.

Along with the campus agencies, Denver Fire Department's Hazardous Material Unit was notified.

Fire Department officials determined the fumes were non-toxic but suggested that the buHding should be cleared for at least 24 hours.

"I made the decision to close the

building on the high recommendation of the Fire Department, but thought a full 24 hours might be too much," Feuerborn said.

After consulting with Auraria Public Safety and Risk Management Officer Ray Allen, Feuerborn said closing the building for the remainder of the day would be sufficient.

Auraria officials did not want to inconvenience classes any more than was necessary, Feuerborn said.

"I came in very early this morning to make sure it was cleared out and I was prepared to close it down for another day if necessary," he said.

After 1 p.m. all classes in the building were canceled and most of those that were already in progress were cut short.

However some classes were held outside.

"My yoga class just moved outside since it was such a nice day," said Metro student Heidi Hollingsworth.

The cause of the vapor leak remained uncertain as of Wednesday afternoon, Feuerborn said.

Feuerborn said this is the first safetyrelated incident that the swimming pool construction has had.

"They've (the construction crew) been real good about keeping the room closed off. They have the doors sealed with plastic and ventilation fans pull the fumes outside," Feuerborn said.

Risk Management is continuing its investigation into the exact cause of the accident.

Feuerborn said it is possible the wind could have pushed the fumes back into the building.

"Whatever it was it was just an accident," Feuerborn said.

Auraria delays student-fee increase One available option is to refinance bond fund at a lower interest rate Jane Hase The METROPOLITAN

An increase in student fees is being delayed by Auraria officials who say they are looking at other options.

Raising fees might be necessary to make up for the higher operating expenses of student funded facilities on campus, said Dean Wolf, interim executive vice president of Auraria.

The alternative plan is to refinance the student bond fund, which was set up as a promise to repay money borrowed back in 1992 for the purchase of the Tivoli along with other Auraria facilities, at a lower interest rate.

The bonds also include financing for the operation of the Auraria Events Center and the Child Care Center and have been on a repayment schedule for the last seven years.

Along with the increase in operating expenses, interest payments on the bonds every year leaves less money for programming of student activities, said Metro President Sheila Kaplan.

Refinancing rate lower than the current average of 6 percent to 6.5 percent would allow the principal and the interest incurred to be paid, while avoiding a need to increase fees, Kaplan said.

A resolution setting the parameters for the refinancing was approved by the Auraria Board of Directors at a meeting held Monday and will give Wolf the authority to sign a bond purchase agreement, the final step before the refinancing is completed.

However, the final signing of the agreement is being put off until a decision is made as to .the rate the bonds should be refinanced, said Curt Wiedeman, director of administration and business services for Auraria.

Frederic Marienthal, a consultant from Kutak Rock financial consulting firm, said they will be watching the market within the next week to l 0 days and that the rates right now are at about 5.4 percent to 5.5 percent. . "We're not setting an end date as to when we actually have to pull the trigger and commit to rates," Marienthal said.

Wolf said the refinancing would buy some time, about five to eight years, before the need to raise student fees would arise.

"We have to look at programmatic cuts and other areas, before making a decision to raise fees," Wolf said.

He said that last year budget cuts were made in all areas secured by the bonds in order to balance the year's budget, which saved approximately $720,000 in expenses.

Wolf said that the steps currently being taken are "to help ensure the financial health of the bond fund."

Internet accessible to all Students and administrators have had access since January Donna Hickey The METROPOLITAN

Dazzle your teachers by including the latest data in otherwise boring reports. Be the first to have the latest information seen by digital eyes from the internet.

All students, faculty and administrators have had access to internet accounts since January, so no more excuses for outdated ideas.

Marc Falkenhan, a manager in Metro' s Information Technology, said every student who has taken a class within the last year does not need to reapply for internet access because their permanent Clem account is out there waiting to be activated.

Students can cruise the net after they have found their network ID by using the Metro World Wide Web Homepage. The homepage is accessible through Netscape from any of the computers on campus Falkenhan said.

Clem is named after Gerhardt Clemenson who was one of the first directors of the academic computing center at Metro.

The Clem accounts have been funded by the information technology fee that student tuition covers, Falkenhan said.

Students who cruise the net from home with a commercial server such as America Online, Prodigy or Compuserve can open http://www.mscd.edu to search for their network ID and activate their internet account.

Those with a computer, modem and communications software can access the internet from home by dialing 893-9440. It is necessary to set your modem at

up to 14.4 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, I stop bit full duplex and hardware flow control.

A few features on Clem: •Lynx is a text-based web browser; like Netscape but without pictures or sound.

• Pine is a menu driven electronic mail program.

• Pico is a simple text editor.

•Talk is a real-time chat; screen is divided in half allowing both users to type at the same time.

• Man is an on-line documentation for UNIX commands.

• Telnet is a connect to a remote computer.

• Gopher is a menu driven, text-based, research tool.

"Currently, most students' primary use of Clem is for electronic mail," Falkenhan said.

There are "Short Bits" which are instructional flyers that are available in the computer labs for anyone needing help with their account. \.

Metro serves as command center Daniels' team sets record as aerospace students simulate flight at World Indoor Airport Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

-.

..

In an attempt to set a world speed record for a light business-class jet, cable pioneer Bill Daniels sent a four-pilot crew on a global flight out of Centennial Airport on Monday morning.

Daniels' flight team achieved the new world record flying the 20,061 nauticalmile route around the world in 49 hours, 21 minutes and arriving at Centennial Airport in Arapahoe County at 4:28.42 a.m. Feb. 14. A crew of Metro aerospace students simulating the flight at the World Indoor Airport flew the trip just two minutes behind the actual crew, "landing" at 4:30.42 a.m.

The Metro World Indoor Airport housed the command center which tracked the progress of the jet throughout the flight. Many Metro student volunteers worked with the media side of the voyage, sending out updates on the World Wide Web and faxing releases to various locations around the world.

The jet, a Learjet 35-A, circled the earth stopping in eight different cities along the way to refuel. At each of these stops, Daniels gave monetary gifts of $7 per nautical mile which totaled about

The pilots stopped stop. in St. Kitts, Virgin Islands; Sal, Cape The jet, dubbed "Cablevision Tool," Verde Islands (West Africa); Olbia, Italy; had an average speed of one percent highRiyadh, Saudi Arabia; Varanasi, India; er than the previous record held by Los Manila, Philippines; and King Salmon, Angeles pilot Brooke Knapp who flew the

trip in 50 hours, 22 minutes, 42 seconds averaging 458.9 mph. The crew had to fly at a speed of at least 463. l mph to have its record validated by the Federation Aeronautique International (all aviation records must be validated by this Paris group) and fly a minimum of 19,864 nautical miles. However, Calkins estimated that the "Cablevision Tool" could achieve an average of 477.5 mph.

Four Metro aerospace students simulated the flight as closely as possible including using the same flight plans, weather reports, schedules and meals as the actual crew. The students were, senior aviation student and flight-team leader Karl Van Loo, 29, and senior aviation students Steve Brown, 26, Janell Martiry, 26, and Jason Tautfest, 23. They shadowed the "Cablevision Tool" in a Frasca 242 T/J Turboprop/Jet simulator, with two sets of gauges configured to emulate the Learjet 35-A. "The pilots were chosen by experience, Learjet time, and ratings. Basically, they have the highest flight qualifications," said Command Center Chief Tim Nave, a Metro aerospace student.

"This is a marvelous opportunity for our students," said Aerospace Science Chairman at Metro Bob Mock.

Student wants Metro to treat 01ales and f e01ales equally Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

An anti-discrimination club on campus is demanding Metro stop what it alleges is discrimination against male students.

Thomas P. Lyons, who is president of the Auraria Sexual Equality and Freedom League, sent a "Notice and Demand" to Metro telling it to treat males the same as females in registering for the draft.

"This is a very anti-male, especially white-male, campus," he said.

Metro's application for admission and financial-aid award forms require students to acknowledge they are registered for Selective Service or give a valid reason why they are not.

Lyons called the policy a hold over from the "chauvinistic and generally dark days of the Reagan/Bush Administrations."

Metro Attorney Scot Silzer wrore- Lyons a response establishing the college's position.

Silzer said the college does not require students register for the draft, but does comply with a Colorado state statute that requires all eligible higher education students to register.

"Accordingly, because the requirements of the college are based upon both federal and state laws, the College will be unable to comply with either of the requests you make in your Notice and Demand," Silzer wrote Jan . 24.

Lyons also demanded the college comply with the 1974 Federal Privacy Act. Lyons claims that the college is in violation because it uses Social Security numbers to check Selective Service registration and gives out information about students.

However, a student's name, address and dates of attendance are public under the Colorado Open Records Act. The only way a student can keep the r'ecords private

is to send written notice I 0 days after they register and ask the college to close them.

Lyons said the right wing is starting to use the Social Security numbers for cross-referencing, which he believes is wrong and leads to more sinister things.

"In the age of information, a police-state needs an identification number," he said.

Lyons said he would ultimately like to see females required to register for the draft.

"If we're supposed to have an equal society, you have to have it both ways," he said. "You have to take the good with the bad."

Lyons said his next step will be to write Gov. Roy Romer.

"I think I can at least embarrass him into looking into it," Lyons said.

In his demand to the college, Lyons threatened to take the college to court if necessary. Silzer said Metro will do nothing until it sees what Lyons does next.

Student government sounds off Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

•-

Metro's Student Government Assembly voiced different opinions about the resignation of two members.

Last week, Vice President of Communications Cath Bongiorno and Vice President of Student Organizations Juan Sanchez, resigned from office citing personal attacks and violations of"the student government constitution as reasons for leaving.

Vice President of Diversity Melissa Munoz, who has recently come under fire herself, agreed with the allegations that personal attacks hindered the effectiveness of Sanchez. She said that when he proposed a project or issue, he instantly became the issue rather than the project.

"There is a lot of hostility in the group. A lot of people take things to a personal level," Munoz said.

Government member Pe.te Rutt, who serves as chief justice, said that he acknowledged that there was some dissension amongst the group but that quitting student government was not the solution.

"I don 't thinlC quitting made a difference," Rutt said.

Vice president of Administration and Finance Rodney Lebsock said the accusations were old business.

"I'm not going to waste my time on internal matters. I'm here to work for the students," Lebsock said.

However, Lebsock did express he was considering resigning because of the political atmosphere of student government.

At the Feb. 7 student government meeting, members suggested that Munoz had collected pay for both her position as vice president of diversity and administrative assistant. Munoz served as administrative assistant during the summer session because student government did not have an administrative assistant at the time.

Munoz had volunteered to step into the position until a new assistant could be found. She said she worked as the assistant until the position was filled in the fall.

Munoz said that she was only paid for the work she did. However, she said that members of student government accused her of continuing to accept pay for the position after it was filled.

At the student government meeting, Munoz said a copy of her personnel file was obtained and sent to a member of the Judicial Board, who reviews ethical matters about persons and activ'ities concerning student government. Munoz and the current administrative assistant are the only people with access to the files. The file has personal information such as employment information and social security information ·and was not a public document, Munoz said at the meeting.

Neither Munoz nor Safa Suleiman, president of student government said they have any idea as to who acquired the file.

Munoz said despite the current atmosphere at student government, she will not resign and will serve the rest of her term.

Speak up and run.

I love the First Amendment of the Constitution. It affords freed om of speech to all. I think the more points of view that are expressed, the better.

The Constitution does not state that you have to identify yourself. I don't think I would want it to. But there are laws in this land that protect people from libel and slander. Maybe that

is why this person doesn't want to put his name to his words.

If you want to spread lies, it is always best to do it from a safe distance. There is an old saying that goes a bit like this: "A lie can spread around the world before the truth can even get its shoe on."

The determination of the truth is an entirely different question, but I would say that how this person sees the truth is just as valid as anyone else's perspective.

I highly recommend that you read the Press sometime. If you agree with its content, get involved. This person does give a post office box number.

Try that.

But make sure you · ask yQ.urself why he is afraid to use his name. If he gave a name, you could have asked. I still wonder - why no name?

Frighten 'Freedom Fighters' It must be nice to be as brave as the person putting out the Freedom Fighter Press, a newsletter that has been plastered all over campus lately.

This person takes on the issues. This person points an accusatory finger at all those people who are threatening freedom on this campus. What a Freedom Fighter!

What a little mindless coward.

This person makes accusations. This person puts words in other people's mouths. This person does it all from a safe distance because this person doesn't have the guts to put his name on his writing.

I say "his" because I believe it to be a male person. I refuse to use the word "man" because a man is not afraid to stand behind his beliefs and his words. But this male person scurries to the shadows afraid of being seen.

Look, I know you probably are a busy student in addition to being a busy editor in chief, but I really think that you need to do some better copy editing on your paper. I picked up the Feb. 2 issue of The Metropolitan, and not only were there numerous errors in usage, syntax, and spelling, but in the second paragraph of your own column you "... expected a quick exit FORM the parking lot." Come on, Lou. Your features editor, Flomberg, is no less guilty. He appears to be unaware of the difference between muddied and muddled. Reality and fie-

tion are not besmirched by the lack of definitive separation of the two.

Instead, there is a lack of definitive separation between reality and fiction which makes them muddled.

Andrea Doe has a problem on page three with her " ... in a monthly But the one that really got to me, and truly prompted this e-mail, was Alisha Jeter's article on page 6 where she discusses the reason for the chain link fence around the old student union. . She claims that it is so that students will be kept outside the PARAMETERS of the construction. If the students are kept out of the parameters of the construction then we seriously need to

elect new representatives in the student government. I won't insult your intelligence discussing the difference between parameters and perimeters.

I enjoy your paper, and I enjoy your weekly column, but these kinds of errors are easy to correct (the entire process took me about 15 minutes), but it is not at all the kind of thing one would expect out of a college paper.

Keep up the good writing, but please dot the i's and cross the t's.

Valentine's - the day for duds

ThetWfrc/po/#a~ 't~ welcomes•·lefters from

Dear Editor, I have just completed reading the article "Happy Valentine's Day, sucker." I hate to admit the fact that I agree with the earring scenario. Mine did not have to do with a pair of earrings, but an engagement ring. Yes, that is right, an engagement ring. (We are now divorced.) Two days after I asked her to marry me, she lost the damn thing.

Although this is not the point of this letter. The point is that I agree that Valentine's Day is a crock. People who are single (like me) who have terrible track records with relationships, have no use for all this crap. I hate to get on a pedestal about this, but it has been my personal experience that the female gender takes what they can get and gives nothing in return. No offense to any women reading this letter intended. ' I do think that boxing is a barbaric sport, but the Smurfs and Brady Bunch suck. I know all about the being-in-hock-to-my-eyeballs-for-the-ring thing, but I'm not quite sure about yelling at passing motorists or anything like that. I know if you are single it can be a sad day if you let it be that way. If it is, you do survive though.

The people who have more of a realistic outlook are stuck in a hard spot, they wind up doing something they don't really don't want to do, or feel they should have to do. It is amazing that a "holiday" can be based on two dead men and some stupid birds.

1Q The METROPOLITAN FEBRUARY 16. 1996

Neighborhood peacekeeper Reverend lectures on helping youth escape the perils of gangs Louis Landa The METROPOLITAN

''I

speak to so many people and say so much that I just say 'why, why do these people want to hear me speak?"'

Rev. Leon Kelly poses this question with humble honesty. He is a colossus of a man. His sharp, hard body and even, black skin give him the appearance of a professional football player. But he has a gentle openness that seems to welcome you home.

"Some days it's hard to think of anything positive, but then I think of Paul in the Bible when he says, 'I have to think myself happy."'

Kelly recently buried another child from his neighborhood, another in a long list of lives that have succumbed to gang violence in Denver.

He came to Auraria last Friday to speak to the Metro chapter of The Society of Recreation Students. Kelly is the executive director of Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives.

Since 1988 Kelly has worked to slow the rise of gangs in Denver.

The campus club invited Kelly to speak about "Youth at Risk" as part of a lecture series they are presenting this semester, says Mary Ann Loeffler, Metro faculty member and club advisor.

"We wanted him to talk to our students about the importance of working with younger kids and prevention," Loeffler says.

Forty students sit captivated by a man delivering a message he has delivered many times before. But as he John McDonoughffhe METROPOLITAN strides across the room and locks his large dark eyes, he seems to be delivering 40 individual messages. He is LOOK HARD: Reverend Leon Kelly exhibits reaworking on changing attitudes, because he says that is the sons why he preaches against gang life, as he best place to start when fighting the gang problem. shows pictures of victims of gang violence.

He towered This is the focus of Kelly's efforts, keeping kids out of over Cocciolo and asked her, "How are you going to help gangs and trying to help those who want out - get out. me? What are you going to tell me?" To which she One of the ways Kelly tries to influence is by taking answered, "Nothing." the glamour out of gang life. He said in movies and televi"I was really nervous," explains Cocciolo. sion, life in a gang is portrayed as something fun and excitHe says the media only presents a fraction of what

goes on in the streets. He tries to tell the whole story about life in a gang. ''This is what it looks like to be in gangs," he says as he displays an 8-by-l 0 glossy color photo of a charred body. The victim's Molotov cocktail missed its target. , Kelly holds a large black binder containing a macabre portfolio that chronicles the results of gang violence. The pictures, each more gruesome than the next, serve the purpose of taking the glamour out of gang life.

Kelly's other message is fashioned directly for the audience members. The Society of Recreation Students stresses the contribution they can make as people in direct contact with youth at risk.

In an odd way, Kelly seems to be delivering a mixed message. He outlines the need 'or community involvement, but warns audience members of its dangers.

"These are very deadly gangs," Kelly warns. "You have to use common sense when you are out there." ..Suzy Gutierrez, vice president of The Society of Recreation Students says she feels Kelly's visit was important to the students.

"We all have to be aware of what we can do," she says.

Kelly says many people come to him offering help, but after one day out on the streets he never sees them again.

"When many people are faced with the realities they are shocked and then they are gone," he laments. Kelly says that one of the reasons they go away is fear. "The fear for me is gone. Fear comes from not knowing, I know the people in my community."

Kelly looks back and sees other members of the community at whom he points a finger. He says in the early '80s, the city fathers didn't want to tarnish the image of "Colorful Colorado." He says because of the new convention center, the plans for a new airport and the pursuit of a baseball team, people were willing to tum a blind eye the growing gang problem.

"Gangs called Denver 'The Big Easy' because it was so easy to get started here," says Kelly. ''They labeled me a 'prophet of doom and gloom' back then."

Kelly says the problem has spread outside Denver and no one is immune.

"This. is a problem that has plagued all neighborhoods," he says. "This is not just a black problem, a Hispanic problem or a white problem, and it's going to take all of us to solve it."

We have a block of time designated to recognize damn near every racial and special interest group from women to fat people. Why? I'll tell you: white-man guilt syndrome.

Imagine, if you will, that it's election time. Sen. Snodgrass, R-Fla., discovers that due to his administration being riddled by political scandal, he is 23 points behind his opponent in the polls. He and his advisers put their heads together to come up with a vote-getter.

"Senator, we need to secure a strong minority vote," says one of his aides.

"Well son, what did you have in mind?"

replies the senator.

A situation like this is nothing "Let's introduce a more than putting bill to make October the a band-aid .on a Pagan National bazooka wound.

Wrong.

For the next glorious month, sixth-

graders are taught about Elizabeth Cady , Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. And then it's back to the status quo.

This is not the right solution. It seems to me that these special months, weeks and days are little more than a token. If the problem is to be solved, then solve it.

How, you ask? By removing the emphasis on teaching about certain minorities once a year, and 路incorporate them into year-round discussion. Get rid of the Eurocentrism that plagues our classrooms, as well as the token "multicultural requirements" and make the educational systems -~ all-encompassing.

Or, we can always look forward to spending another month learning about the plight of the aboriginal zombie people from Massachusetts.

Professor lauds â&#x20AC;˘ Metro diversity Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

fter 24 years of teaching at Metro, Akbarali Thobani still said, "It's a great place to work. I love the diversity of students here."

And who better to discuss diversity than Thobani, the director of the Institute for International and Intercultural Education at Metro.

Thobani teaches courses in African History, South African Politics, Islam and the History of the Middle East. He said he used to also teach a course in Swahili language in the early 1970s when he first came to Metro. He said that it was a very popular course at that time. Language is quite familiar to Thobani is fluent in Kiswahili, Gujarti, and Hindi.

Thobani occasionally gives lectures and seminars on Islam and African History.

Thobani is from Uganda in East Africa.

He came to the United States in the early sixties and did his undergraduate studies at the University of Maine on a President Kennedy Scholarship. He graduated in 1963 and returned to Uganda for two years where he taught secondary school.

When he returned to the U.S., studied for his doctorate at the Denver University of

A

Denver on a fellowship. Later, in 1971, he began teaching African History part time at Metro. He stayed in Colorado and gained his citizenship in 1975.

Thobani said that the Metro community has changed very much over the past 30 years, "It's been great to see how Metro has evolved. The community has become much more involved."

Thobani became a mainstay over those 30 years due to his students admiration of him according to International studies advisor Mary Ann Krohn. She said that she John McDonoughffhe METROPOLITAN often hears students say Thobani is a great instructor.

'City Hall' is a political nightmare Pacino is anything but vi~tage in this lackluster film Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

I Pacino's character describes politics as neither black nor white, but gray in the feature, City Hall.

Gray is what City Hall could be rated as on the movie color scale - it's neither boring nor exciting - it's a grayish so-so.

In many ways, City Hall seems to have everything going for it. The trailers look good since the story takes place in big and exciting New York, and Pacino, Bridget Fonda and Danny Ai-ello add the big names to it - so far so colorful.

But the story is about politics and the continuous struggle between good and corrupt - that's where the gray dulls everything and everybody.

Mayor John Pappas (Al Pacino) is a charismatic politician, who gives great speeches and adjusts like a chameleon to any group of potential voters. Pappas is admired the most by his young deputy mayor Kevin Calhoufl' (John Cusack) As he gives one of his down-to-earth kind of speeches-on a rainy Monday in City Hall, something awful happens.

A six-year-old child is hit by a stray bullet in a shoot-out between an undercover cop and the drug-dealing nephew of a mob boss.

A

LISTEN UP: Deputy Mayor Kevin Calhoun (John Cusack) is lectured by Mayor John Pappas (Al Pacino) on the realities of politics, murder and the conflict between good and evil in the Castle Rock film, City Hall.

It's a political nightmare. young deputy mayor seeking the truth finds Media attention is guaranteed because more than he wanted to know. of the innocence of the youngest victim.

Politics are dirty.

Investigations start because of the lack of Sounds familiar? Well, that's the plot of innocence of the other two who were killed. City Hall, directed by Harold Becker, who Whose bullet killed the child? Why in collaboration with Al Pacino has brought was the cop there without back-up? And us the great Paci no thriller Sea of Love. who let the convicted drug dealer go free on Well, City Hall is not even close to probation in the first place? being a thriller. Nothing is new or exciting.

As the investigation unravels, the We hear mob, we see corruption. We hear

politics, we see deception. We hear Pacino, we see great acting.

Or so we think. Pacino comes out looking weak, a mere caricature of the great characters he brought to life on screen. As Mayor Pappas, he is the background character that gets to scream, yell and speak great lines, that could soon be added to the collection of memorable movie-quotes, while the camera tries to squeeze every possible close-up shot out of him.

Cusack as the mayor's helping hand, plays his boring character with not much excitement. He seems so bored at times that he forgets the southern accent his character is supposed to have and just delivers his lines with a sincere looking face.

Aiello is in his element. He plays a New Yorker and a helping hand to the big mob boss. He plays it so well it's almost sad to see him so unchallenged.

Now, what Fonda's purpose is in this movie is hard to tell. Her character, a lawyer for the dead cop's family is not just boring and unimportant but also completely unjustified. As if a blonde is going to make this movie any better.

The story is dull , gray and foreseeable.

The big names do the part they are hired to do and that amounts to a movie that just further supports the claim that politics are not the stuff movies should be made of.

ANY QUESTIONS?: History Professor Charles Angeletti steers a discussion in his American Civics class about the likes and dislikes men and women have about each other. The blackboard has a list of the class' opinions.

Non-traditional professor History teacher encourages system reform Jane Hase The METROPOLITAN

istory professor Charles Angeletti takes a non-traditional approach to teaching and is also a somewhat controversial figure on campus. During an interview with The Metropolitan, he spoke out on some of the issues facing today's education and explained some of the reasons for his approach to teaching. Angeletti has been teaching at Metro since 1967, and currently serves as assistant to the vice president of Academic Affairs. He holds a master's degree in History and a doctorate in Nontraditional Education. At times poetic and frequently insightful, Angeletti seemed to have a deep and genuine concern for the things he spoke about.

The interview started out with a question about his approach to teaching.

"There's a lot of controversy surrounding how I teach and what I teach," he said.

Q . Does that make you uncomfortable?

A. I'm more uncomfortable with the fact that more teachers don't use different teaching methods than I am [uncomfortable] with the fact that I'm looked upon as non-traditional. I think I'm fairly traditional. I think it's the other folks who are out of line.

Students don't learn best passively, they learn best in an interactive mode, they learn best through interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary ways of teaching.

Q. Why more than one discipline?

A. Rather than being stuck into little boxes we call departments, maybe for administrative purposes that's OK, but in terms of teaching, historians should be incorporating sociology, literature, all kinds of things into their courses.

H

¡â&#x20AC;˘

Instead we've almost developed separate categories in every discipline, we almost have to have a dictionary to understand what the vocabulary for one discipline means, when in fact they all mean the same thing.

The isolated ways in which we've done knowledge historically in this country, and there are a few people at Metro who are trying to bridge that gap, but it's safer and some people think it's saner just to remain in a department and teach traditional courses in a traditional way. We can offer multicultural courses and it's not going to do much good unless we change the content, structure, methodology of the entire curriculum.

Q. Why are you interested in history?

A. The truth of the matter is I'm not that interested in history. I'm more interested in history as a means by which you teach people about the world, the past world, the present world, maybe even the future world. It's a means to an end.

Actually, I haven't taught any traditional history courses in a long time.

Probably not for the last 15 years. I think for history to be taught the way it has always been taught is a waste of time.

Q. So, would you say the facts of history - knowing when the Civil War took place, why World War II happened - that those things shouldn't be the base of teaching history?

A. Well, first of all, I don '.t think there are very many facts. There are events that happened and then there are people who are going to argue over it, they're going to argue an interpretation of that event and eventually that becomes something called a fact, and there are very few facts in the world, most historians won't admit that.

I don't find fact a real basis for teaching history or anything else. I think there

are things that happened that we can argue about the meaning of. Maybe that's more important than teaching history or sociology or literature than is anything else.

Q. A lot of history has probably been re-written, or cut and trimmed to create a complete package, but how, without that, would people know where they come from or what their heritage is, or the history of their country? It sounds like you have an alternative.

A . I think one of the things I have to do is de-mythologize. I have to get people to stop believing some of the myths - so called facts - that have been taught in the public schools and at other colleges, and even some classes at Metro.

(Students) come into an American Civilization class and they're holding onto this steadfastly because they need something to anchor who they are. I think there are other ways, particularly through critical thinking, interpreting their own life experiences, the life experiences of others and of other cultures. It's a harder way to go as a student, it's also a harder way to teach if you're going to be an educator.

I don't believe people are history teachers. I don't believe people are political science teachers. Some may ask me, 'What do you teach?' I tell them 'students,' and history or criminal justice or sociology are the methods by which I teach.

I get them to start thinking about the world in which they live, who gets what and why in this country, to figure out America, past and present.

One of the assignments I gave my American Civilization class was to come in with a list of IO people who are paid to tell us lies. There are a whole lot of folks in this country wh~ are paid to lie to us for Continued page 14

Frog finds buried treasui;e New muppet movie cries for return to original formula ._

•

Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

here's frogs and pigs and bears and chickens and whatevers doing their damnedest to make this movie enjoyable and falling just a bit short.

The Muppet Treasure Island is Henson Productions' fifth foray into bigscreen puppetry, and while it is by no means a flop, it is disappointing to longtime Muppet fans.

The show opens with Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop) working in an old pub with Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat. Billy Bones (Billy Connolly) is targeted for death by his old shipmates, and right before he dies, he gives the treasure map everyone is looking for to Jim. Jim moves on to find a shipbuilder.

Enter Fozzie, the half-wit shipbuilder Squire Trelawne; throw in Kermit as Captain Smollett; Miss Piggy as Benjamina Gunn; and Sam the Eagle as the first mate, Mr. Arrow, and things get more than a little "wocka-wocka."

Tim Curry rounds out the human cast as Long John Silver, and effectively steals , much of the Muppets' thunder.

Be on the lookout for great cameos by Waldorf and Statler, the Swedish Chef,

T

not come back .

Yet, this movie is enjoyable for everyone - children will sit entranced by the Muppets' movement, merriment and mirth, while adults will laugh hysterically at the political and social commentary.

The best performance on the screen was turned in by Sam the Eagle. He compliments Kermit well while retaining all of his dripping deadpan sarcasm.

The musical score was composed by Hans Zimmer, who also just completed work on Broken Arrow. His work is rapidly gaining recognition and respect as he moves up the ranks to be with the likes of movie-soundtrack composers Danny Elfman and John Williams. The rest of the songs on the soundtrack were composed Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who have both done a lot of work for Disney studios.

For the most part, the songs were funny and lively, if a bit repetitious.

various reasons. Professors are one, politicians, preachers.

Q. If you could change anything about today's educational system, what would you change?

A. If I could change anything about today's educational system I would probably try to change the consciousness and awareness of those who are involved in it - administrators, professors. Then we would become more of a people's college and more a college that meets community needs.

I would make teaching, classroom teaching, the highest priority and I would make how to evaluate their own teaching their highest priority.

Ifl could make some changes I would get rid of the fear that is rampant here on all levels. Fear of competition, fear of each other, fear of new ideas, fear of change, just plain fear.

Q. What would change if that were to happen?

A. I think we would become much more of a caring community. I think we would learn a lot about each other and appreciate differences. We fear difference, our color, our gender; our sexual orientation, someone who (dresses differently), someone who isn't part of the norm. We want to normalize everyone. But I think that education would be really well served, better served everywhere if we could get rid of some of that fear.

Q. Would you call yourself a "student advocate?"

A. I wouldn't call myself that, but I have been called that by a lot of people. I feel more like a "human advocate."

Q. What is your favorite part of teaching?

A. Getting to know students. And also, although I've never really admitted this publicly, I like being on stage, you learn how to act. Nobody tells you that you should be taking acting lessons, that you should be in a drama class before you get out and teach, but in fact you should.

There's a little bit of preacher in me, probably Southern Baptist type, because two of the people who influenced me most in my life were Southern Baptist ministers.

Q. What advice would you give to students?

A. I tell them many things, but three things I tell them is find out who your teachers are; how to survive in the system, because Metro is a system, and the third thing I tell them is !I> get an education while you're getting a degree.

Q. Is there anything else you would like to say?

A. I would like to say, so people don't get the wrong idea, that Metro is a good place and there are some very good people here, but you have to look for them, and to do that you sometimes have to find people who will mentor you, who will teach you and who will advise you. Because, if you, as a student, even as a faculty member, try the old rugged-individualist, go-it-alone, John Wayne attitude, the system will eat you up.

The team is coached by Vince Porreco. This will be Porreco's fourth season as the skipper of the Roadrunners.

He is a University of Wyoming graduate where he played with current Texas Ranger shortstop Jeff Huson. He is looking for his first winning season since becoming head coach. The coaching staff consists of Joel Forrest, Sean Bendel, Mall Santistevan, and Roger Felthoven and Keith

-.

Kobold.

One strong aspect of the team should be the middle infield. ·"One strength of this team wilI be the infield, with Tracey Archuleta and Ramon Alvarado up the middle," says Sports Information Director Daniel Smith.

Archuleta, the senior short stop from Illif, hit .317 with two home runs and.22 RBI last season. He played a part in turning 24 double-plays.

On the other side of the bag will be junior Alvarado.

Alvarado only played in nine games last season, but is expected to get the starting job. He committed only one error in those nine games.

According to Smith, the opening day line-up could look like this: Junior Craig Leisge at first base, Alvarado

and Archuleta at second and shortstop respectively, senior Roger Fisher at third base. The outfield starters are expected to be seniors Don Ortiz and Brian Micciulli and sophomore Noah Sebastian. The catching duties will be shared by sophomore Pat Maxwell and senior Casey Hosteller.

One change the Roadrunners will face this season will be the challenge of playing in a new conference. The new conference will be called the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) and will have a total of nine teams: Regis University, Colorado School of Mines, University of Denver, University of Nebraska-Kearney, Ft. Hays State, Mesa State, University of New MexicoHighlands, and the University of Southern Colorado.

Opening day is next Wednesday, Feb. 21, at the Auraria baseball fields, east of the Tivoli Student Union.

The METROPOLITAN

FEBRUARY 16. 1996

Parity in CAC makes for exciting tournament Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN

THROW DOWN: Metro's Justin Land scores two of his 15 points against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs on Feb. 8. Metro won in blow-out fashion 101-70 and now stand at 4-3 in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

If the Colorado Athletic Conference season is a preview of things to come in the CAC Tournament, the men-'s basketbaJI team may be the hottest ticket at Metro.

The Roadrunners have won two CAC games in the closing seconds 67-65 over the University of ColoradoColorado Springs on Jan. 18 and 85-83 over the University of Southern Colorado - and have Jost twice to Regis University in heartbreaking fashion. Regis beat Metro 73-70 on a buzzer-beating three-pointer at Auraria Events Center Jan. 20 and 77-75 on Saturday at the RU Fieldhouse in overtime.

In between, they've dominated UCCS (101-70 Feb. 8) and beaten Colorado Christian University (66-54 Feb. 3), and lost to the University of Denver (85-77 Jan. 27).

The Roadrunners figured to be in for another tough game with UCCS when they tipped off at Auraria Feb. 8.

The Gold raced out to an 8-2 lead but from that point on it was all Metro. The Roadrunners took a 49-31 lead into halftime and never looked back.

Five players finished in double figures for Metro, led by C.J. Arellano who finished with 16 points. Justin Land had 15. Jeremy Ward added 14 while Martin

Glastetter and Jeff Stumme each had 10.

Despite the seemingly easy win, Metro coach Charles Bradley downplayed the large margin of victory.

"I don't think that we had a very easy time with them tonight," Bradley said. "You 've got to realize that they are , a very good team. Before tonight's game, they had not lost a conference game by more than four points."

Metro's three-game CAC winning streak was halted at Regis on Saturday.

The Rangers fought back from an 11point deficit and sent the game into overtime tied.at 68.

Regis capitalized on two Metro turnovers and outscored the Roadrunners 9-7 in the extra period to drop them to 15-7 overall and 4-3 in the CAC. Glastetter led the Roadrunners with 18 points and 11 rebounds and Land had 18 points and seven boards.

Metro faces DU on Saturday at 3 p.m. then takes on USC on Thursday with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Roadrunners close out the regular season at Colorado Christian University Feb. 24.

"Our guys are going to have to come ready to play every night," Bradley said. "We are definitely going to have our hands full in the race."

The CAC Tournament begins March 1 with times to be announced next week.
