Board bypasses student-fee increase Refinancing bonds at lower rate halts raising costs Jane Hase The METROPOLITAN

.â&#x20AC;˘

After several weeks of discussion by the Auraria Board, a decision was made last week to refinance the Student Bond Fund at a lower percentage rate. In order to allow management of student-funded facilities within the annual operating budget and to delay a need to raise student fees, Auraria has refinanced the student-fee revenue bonds at 5.4 percent instead of the former 6.6 percent. The bonds are for the repayment of money borrowed in 1992 for the purchase of the Tivoli along with other Auraria facilities. Raising student fees could be necessary because of the higher operating expenses caused by increasing yearly inflation-rates said Interim Vice President for Auraria Dean Wolf. In addition to the increase in operating expenses, Metro President Sheila Kaplan said that because of interest payments on the bonds less money is available for student activities. Refinancing the bonds at a lower

interest rate will allow the principal and interest incurred to be paid while avoiding a need to raise fees in the immediate future, Wolf said. "This will help us ensure the fiscal health of the bond fund," Wolf said. Instead of making payments on three separate series of bonds, which include financing for the Tivoli, the Events Center and the Child Care Center, the debt has been combined into one, said Rosemary Fetter, director of communications for the Auraria. "It will definitely help us right now," Fetter said. Cuts were made in all qf the areas secured by the bonds in ordet to balance last year's budget, saving approximately $720,000 in expenses, Wolf said. The bonds have been on a schedule for repayment for the last seven years and the schedule has been extended. The bonds are scheduled to be paid off in the â&#x20AC;˘ year 2021. The refinancing will also allow for a deferred maintenance program, that includes $100,000 per year deposited from the bonds for major repairs to the three facilities. Funds for this type of maintenance had not been available prior to the refinancing, Fetter said. Wolf said there is approximately $600,000 in exterior maintenance that currently needs to be done to the facilities. Chris Mancuso/The METROPOLITAN

Clubs debate sexual-orientation policy Group says statement of non-discrimination should be in College Republicans constitution Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Two Metro student organizations are debating the enforcement of the college's non-discrimination policy. One of the organizations, Metro American Indian Students for Empowerment said that since Metro forced them to write the clause, which included a statement of non~discrimination regarding sexual orientation, into its constitution before the group was allotted club space, the College Republicans should also have to comply to be consistent. The College Republicans however are currently in litigation with the college for similar issues. On Oct. 25 in the U.S. District Court of Colorado, the College Republicans filed a lawsuit alleging that signing a fonn prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation violated their Constitutional rights. The school therefore maintained the College Republicans' status as an active club. There is a form that some groups, namely religious organizations and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), can sign that excludes the sexual orientation non-discrimination clause, said Karen Bensen, Director of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services. She said that originally the College Republicans sought this exemption and were turned down; they later filed suit. Vice Chairman of the College Republicans of Auraria Nate Hall said that he was unable to comment on the lawsuit since the group is still in litigation. At a Feb. 20 meeting, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board addressed the issue. Metro SACAB representative Ajayi Harris suggested that the committee a5k the Auraria Board of Directors whether or not they could' enforce the policy. The group did not agree and he stated that SACAB could not enforce the clause without asking the Board's permission. Community College of Denver SACAB representative Larry Males said then it is in limbo. Sanchez "Nobody h11s to abide by it until the Supreme Court decides," Males said. Bensen commented on the decision, "I think they'll have a hard time sticking by that." She said that it was a

CLUB CONFLICT: Nate Hall is vice chairman of the College Republicans who refuse to sign a form prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation .as part of their club agreement. "blanket ruling that obviously hurt people." Representing MAISE was Metro student Juan Sanchez. "Either the policy should be enforced or dropped, but it must be fair," Sanchez said. Metro is separate from Auraria and is still requiring that the organizations abide by the clause, Sanchez said. Hall said that the policy is an infringement on their freedom of association under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The group said it does not plan to comply with the policy. Hall also said that to include the clause in the Republican's constitution would be in violation of the central College Republicans' constitution due to a resolution the group made last year. As a result, the group could lose its charter, Hall said. "If they (Metro) actually enforced the policy, I would imagine that our next course of action would be to file an injunction," Hall said. "I have no doubt that we will win this - hands down .

Most people find themselves in a little over their heads when they start playing with us." Sanchez voiced a different opinion. "I think if they (Metro) don't want to enforce it, they need to just eliminate the policy out of their policy manual and not leave it in this limbo stage or else what they need to do is enforce that policy and stand behind their beliefs and convictions," Sanchez said. "If MAISE wants to take it to the Auraria Board and appeal the decision or say they want the policy to stay and to be enforced, I would stand by them and make sure their opinions are heard," Sanchez said Lily Boyce, a Metro student and vice president of MAISE, said if her group has to follow a rule, then so should the College Republicans. "I was told that if I wanted space, I would have to have the anti-discrimination clause in the constitution. It is not right that they are excluded from this particular rule," Boyce said.

OPEN YET?: Students pass the old Primo Pizza on Tuesday. A national franchise is expected to open at the site in 30 to 60 days.

Plan to bring pizza to campus in works Keri Close The METROPOLITAN

Cafe Fresco is open, the food court is full, and pizza may be back in the Tivoli as early as next month. Cafe Fresco opened this week, filling the last spot in the Tivoli Food Court. A tentative agreement to bring a national pizza franchise to the Tivoli looks promising, said Barb Weiske, director of Tivoli Management. The agreement has been in planning since November and a final agreement should occur within the week, Weiske said. Tivoli Management would not disclose the name of the new Tivoli merchant. After the agreement is finalized, the franchise might be open in 30 to 60 days, Weiske said. The new restaurant will take the place of Primo Pizza, which closed late in 1995. The owners of Primo Pizza left the Tivoli with an unpaid debt of $32, 118. Weiske said the debt is not repaid with Student Fees and the case against Primo's ownership is still in litigation with the attorney general. "Making sure prospective merchants understand that this is a student union is important. There will be peaks and valleys in a business here," she said. According to Weiske, three prospec-

tive merchants are in negotiation with Tivoli Management concerning the space once leased by the New York Deli, which was let out of its lease early due to a troubled relationship between the former owner Warren Tepper and Tivoli Management. Scott Pinkham, manager of Restaurant America which opened at the beginning of the semester," said he welcomes a new restaurant in the Tivoli. Variety is good according to Pinkham, who says he does not feel that the opening of the new pizza restaurant will decrease Restaurant America's business. "Being in the restaurant: business as long as I have, you learn that a restaurant can open up right next door and it won't decrease business, it will increase it. We can all feed off each other," Pinkham said. He also said that Restaurant America attracts a different kind of crowd than a pizza restaurant will. "People come in here to eat and for quiet, they plug in their computers at the bar. We are simple," Pinkham said. Brian McMichael, a freshman at Metro, said he sees the growing number of food options as a positive thing. "When you eat here every day, its easy tq get bored. If they do get a pizza place back, it will do well." McMichael said.

Air at Student Health Center still foul ~~# '1

Christine Moeser The METROPOLITAN

- ~

This summer the Student Health Center will be breathing easier. On Feb. 26, architect John Loveson and contractor Marv Backban held a meeting to discuss how to improve the air quality in the center. They decided to install a new temporary heating and ventilation system until construction in the adjacent Plaza Building is complete. Ray Allen, Auraria Public Safety Environmental Health and Safety manager, said the system will allow more fresh air to flow into the center and help prevent fumes from the Plaza Building construction from entering. "Because it will be on the third floor directly above the Health Center, it will be able to push fresh air directly down into it," Allen explained. Along with installing a new system, Allen said he hopes to monitor the air in the center. In order to do so, Allen had tests run on the type of paint used for the remodeling. He said he is waiting for the results. "It's easier to monitor once you know what you're dealing with,"-Allen said. The construction site will also be sealed off, Allen said. The walls and doors will be sealed with "smoke seals," the type of weather stripping used to keep out smoke from a fire. This should prevent fumes and particles from entering other areas. Allen said signs will be posted in the work area to remind construction workers not to use things that could cause fumes. "It's just to make sure that they won't be spray painting or welding near the center," he explained. Allen said he first became aware of the problem when · Student Health Center workers complained about certain odors that came from the construction. The remodeling is

On Feb. 22, Allen received a call and found that the type of lacquer used on doors near the center caused fumes to enter the center. Once the doors dried, and the ventilation system was turned on full blast, the odors disappeared .

This summer samples were taken from the center to test how dangerous they could be. Even though no harmful chemicals were found, workers still complained of feeling ill. The building was also tested for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. If high levels were found, it could have meant the heating and ventilation system was not working properly.

Happy graduation! You will only have this feeling if you don't mind graduating on a Monday night. Once again Metro proves to be the "upstart college" by holding commencement ceremonies on a weeknight. The reasons are many, but for me the one overriding reason is that Metro is still willing to put the needs of the students behind a host of other factors. But here are the school's reasons. REASON: Metro cannot hold graduation on Saturday because it conflicts with classes still in progress during the last week of school. SOLUTION: Hold graduation on the Saturday following the last week of school. There are no classes then. Hold it on that Sunday or Friday, but not Monday. Well, you see, they can't. REASON: Holding graduation a week later would cut into the off time of the faculty, but most importantly the deans of the college. They have so little time off. SOLUTION: Tell them it is too bad if it cuts into their time off. Tell them they are here for the students and they must be there.

Dear Editor: I recently received a letter from the Office of Registration and Student Records. The letter informed me of deadlines approaching and items I must take care of before the spring commencement ceremon路y on Monday May 13, 1996. That's right! MONDAY, May 13, 1996, at 7 p.m. Surely, there must be a mistake. This institution would not treat a graduation ceremony so insignificantly as to schedule it on a Monday night. I telephoned the Registrar's Office to confirm the date and time of graduation and,. to my disbelief, the scheduling is correct. It is widely held that Metro is a non-traditional institution. Many of its students are older, are married, have families and careers. Yet the. administration at Metro has apparently never recognized this population on its campus. I am a 29-year-old married student. It has taken me six years to earn my degree. I worked full-time as a legal secretary and attended evening classes during all three semesters fall, spring and summer. After four years of part-time classes, I realized that I might never get my degree if I remained an evening student, unless I was a business or computer science major. I am a political science major and discovered that I could not get the upper division courses I needed to ful-

LOOKING AT LIFE Louis A. Landa The University of Colorado usually holds graduation the weekend after classes have concluded and they do just fine. Interestingly, this year they are holding commencement ceremonies on May 11, the Saturday of the last week of school. They have space and are willing to deal with the fact that there will still be academic requirements on that day. Space is another issue. In the very recent past, Metro has used the Denver Convention Center. This year we are using Currigan Hall. Before the arrival of President Sheila Kaplan, we used the Denver Coliseum. Well, it turns out that Kaplan is allergic to animal hair, so we can't use that place. We wouldn't want her sneezing all over our degrees. Oh wait, we don't

fill requirements attending class in the evening. I have spoken with countless numbers of students in all different majors, who have experienced the same problem. I gave up a well-paying job, and placed my husband and I in financial hardship to attend Metro on a full-time basis. I cannot express to you what this spring graduation will mean to myself, my husband and my family. No one in my family has earned a college degree. My parents are beaming with pride in me and anxiety in the hopes of future grandchildren. I saw these next months as a time of excitement - until now. The inconvenient scheduling of a graduation ceremony on a weeknight is a slap in the face. I feel that my college graduation is being treated as insignificant. Does the administration not realize that people have jobs, have families to come home to, children to feed and put to bed? Many family and friends simply will not be able to attend a ceremony on a weeknight. Did someone in administration simply think it not important enough to reserve Currigan Hall or the ConV}3ntion Center on a weekend? If Metro's spring graduation were,路 let's say one week earlier, my own husband would not even be able to attend the ceremony - he would be sitting in his Monday evening class. Fortunately,

get our degrees at graduation. We only get a folder with a piece of paper reminding us to return out cap and gowns and join the Metro Alumni Association. That is one of the reasons I walked out of my high school graduation. Ten minutes before the ceremony I found out that we would not receive our diplomas until after we returned our caps and gowns. Back to Monday night. The biggest reason for picking this day is: BIG REASON: It's Mother's Day. (It's a good thing Monday isn't Crosseyed-Step-Brothe r-Born-During-AFull-Moon Day.) This year, Mother's Day is the Sunday after the last week of classes, the traditional day for Metro graduation. On the previous occasions when Metro went ahead and held graduation on Mother's Day, some people were a bit unhappy. Big deal and too bad. Mother's Day comes every year and most people only graduate from college once in a lifetime. Graduation day is for students, not for Mothers. SOLUTION: Get rid of Mother's Day.

UCO had the foresight to schedule their graduation ceremony, in which my husband will be a degree recipient, on a beautiful SATURDAY afternoon!

The METROPOLITAN

Play attacks causes of violence Show demands audience examine itselffor solution to neglect Louis Landa

·~

The METROPOLITAN

t is very difficult to sit through a play in which the perfonners spit, punch and throw stones at a baby. That is precisely what playwright Edward Bond wanted to achieve when he wrote SAVED in 1965. This is a provocative work that examines the roots· of violence in society. The play begins with an almost communal chant by a few of the actors in which they warn us and vainly attempt to prepare us for the sadness to come. The action centers around Len (Gene Gillette) who finds himself increasingly involved with the members of a lower middle-class London family. His first contact is with Pam (Emily Newman Walton), a confused, clinging, carnivore of men. She uses her buxom body and seductively defiant manner to lure her prey. Gillette and Walton work well together. A little of the dialogue is unnecessarily fast in the early scenes, but they overcome · this when they get into the meat of the story. Gillette delivers a well-fonned monkish character. His.shaved head and vestment of white tee shirt and khaki trousers, combines with hi$ steady and patient manner. Contrast this with the revealing and tight-fitting clothes worn by Walton. Pam is a character who demands attention and she gets it by the way she looks or the way she sounds. Her high-pitched wail resonates through the small makeshift theater. A few scenes into the play we find that Pam has had a baby. The exact pater-

This is fortunate for the baby. Pam's mother, masterfully played by Juliana Bellinger, tells Pam to do something about the crying baby. A scowl-faced Pam rises slowly from the couch and increases the volume of the television. These are only subtle crimson shades of violence and neglect that pour over the early part of the play. The blood-red darkness is still to come. Pam is now interested in Skip (David Russell), the alter ego of the play. Skip is rude and gruff. He makes crude comments to Pam, which she comes to enjoy.

He tells Pam what she wants to hear only as Jong as he wants her to hear it. Pam comes searching for Skip late one evening. She finds him at a park. She brings the baby and decides to leave the baby with Skip once she realizes Skip is spending the evening with another woman. The baby does not survive. This is the most dramatic moment of the play, but that does not make it the most

interesting. There are moments throughout the production that demand great emotional and physical attention. Remember this play speaks about the causes of violence and neglect in society. It points a finger at the audience and demands that we examine ourselves for fragments of a solution. The story is strong, but the overall production is frail. It exists on the backs of three good performances, while the rest of the cast can barely keep concentrating long enough to maintain a character. And the characters they do deliver are superficial and incomplete. Despite these major obstacles, SAVED is a drama worth seeing. Don't expect the flash of the Boulder Dinner Theater, but do expect to have a provocative evening of theater, which is the heart of any good play.

Touring troupe explores conflict Metro show about breaking the cycle of violence to tour area schools Jim Tiemann The METROPOLITAN

hen did you first learn how to effectively deal with violence? How many times did your parents tell you to "just walk away" from the bully? Why did everything happen so quickly when the fight broke out in the grade school cafeteria? The Vortex: Conflict, Power and Choice is a performan~e being staged by the Metro Touring Theater Company that shows young people how to identify and deal with conflicts that can lead to violence. The show travels to different area schools and demonstrates, through theater, how to avoid being pulled into the cycle of violence. "It starts with an attitude, then it leads to a look, and ...._ then a word, then a sqout. Then a shove." This is the cycle of conflict that leads to violence as identified by Tim Turley, Director of Probation Services for the Denver Court System. In designing the show, the ensemble, director, and designers worked with Turley, as well as Dave Smith, Director of Intervention Programs for the Colorado Department of Education, to identify the paths that lead to violence through conflict. With this information, the troupe had many discussions and workshops to identify what the essence of conflict is, and how it can lead to violence. They then brainstormed through their own lives and experiences to come up with the basic premise of the show. ''The basic assumption is that conflict is neither good nor bad - it is a part of life - It does not have to lead to violence," says Marilyn Hetzel, director of the show. "We deal with the conflict process that usually escalates to violence, and then how to avoid it," "The show is about the educational process of con-

SKIT THIS: Kristy Coleman and Erik Schnitger practice The Vortex: Conflict, Power and Choice. flict~ that lead to v路iolent behaviors," continues Hetzel. "Kids do not always think they have choices - we show them that they do have choices and that they must make those choices in order to iwoid violent outcomes." The show is set up to give the audience a preview of the action and the choices that may be the proper decision to avoid the violent outcome. Then the action begins, with the worst happening, and then right before any violence is 路 acted out, the scene -freezes, and the actors backtrack through the scene, again showing how who did what to lead to the conflict. At this time the emphasis is on identifying and avoid-

ing the conflict and defusing it before the cycle grows too large. When the scene has been reviewed, the action starts up again where it left off, but the violence does not happen because the involved parties now realize how it's foolish to fight. Although the play seems simplistic in its message, it is really an illusion. David Kottenstette, Metro theater professor and consultant to the production, says that the key for a show like this to work is, "Aesthetic Distance." The art must be of a high enough caliber to effectively carry and convey the message. Everybody involved, both actors and audience, must suspend their disbelief for a moment, and make something out of non-reality, Kottenstette says. None of this really happened, but in knowing that, the audience is made somewhat more comfortable in believing and understanding the issues. ..It is safe for the audience to see a portrayal on stage of what is, in reality, them," he says. 路 The message is getting through to the audience. Hetzel related how a fight broke out after one of their performances, and some of the onlookers where saying, "Hey, it starts with an attitude!" showing that the message was in fact being absorbed by some of the audience. Tim Rogers, one of the cast members, was so impressed by the chance to help reach out to the children that he elected to 路 stay at Metro for an additional se~ester. "I saw an opportunity to be able to do this show - and give this message of non-violence - as a rewarding reason to stay another semester." Rogers says. The Vortex: Conflict, Power and Choice, starring Stewart Carrington, Kristy Coleman, Jeanann Veriee Harris, Timothy Rogers and Erik Schnitger'is written by the troupe, and will be touring area schools throughout the semester.

New musician marked by power Nashville-based singer looking to break onto the music scene Jim Tiemann The METROPOLITAN

hen a talented and noted songwriter decides to make an album of her own, you get a shining, silvery disc that is filled with emotion and

power. Kim Richey's self-titl~d debut album is exactly that. An incredible musical testament to what song-writing is all about. Richey gives the listener a private little nook to nest in and be spoken to by a good friend as she tells you about the trials and tribulations of her life. But the crowing glory of her talent as a songwriter is that you are not taking part in a one-sided conversation rather you understand what she is saying and<:an relate to it on a personal level. She reveals a portion of her soul, open and exposed to the listener, and her stories demand that you respect it. The songs are that good. Richey grew up in Ohio, and was blessed with an aunt that owned a record store. When she was young, her aunt gave her free reign over the bin of 45's, and it was there that she had her first real exposure to music. She learned to play guitar in high school, and it was in college that she joined her first band, a short-lived venture with Bill Lloyd, of the group Foster & Lloyd. After that, she moved around a lot, usually working in the restaurants or in nature centers. In 1988, while living in Billingham, Wash., she received a call from Bill Lloyd asking her to move down to Nashville, Tenn. and make a go at being a songwriter. She did, and the rest is, as they say, is history. â&#x20AC;˘ "I learned a lot about writing in Nashville," Richey said. "It is an incredibly strong writing community - a

POWERHOUSE: Singer/~ongwriter Kim Richey will be in town during the first week of March on her club circuit tour at The Bluebird Theater. center for song writing. It is a wonderful creative influence being around all of these incredible talents." She learned her trade writing for talents like Radney Foster, Trisha Yearwood and George Ducas. She hung around in the writer's circles and met many of Nashville's set musicians. It is these people that helped her make this album in the studio. The fact that everyone was well acquainted with one another lends itself to the incredible energy on this album. 'I

Richey said during the recording session she and the producer, Richard Bennett, brought in stuff to decorate the studio - patio lights, folk art... even a lava lamp! Pretty soon the band hauled in their own knick-knacks, and voila! They had a personable atmosphere to make music in. . "We had a great vibe when we made the record." Richey said. The end product is incredible because of the immense amount of wann, constant energy that flows out of this album. It is not an in-your-face-knock-you-down type of energy, but rather something that entwines and envelopes you around and into the music. The quality of the album shines through, and seems to come to a climax in the song, "Can't find the words." Richey said Richard Bennett, a noted Nashville home brewer as well as producer, gets the credit, because he made an environment conducive to creativity. And, as it happened, "The band all gravitated to that song one night after the session, as we had some of Richard's home-brew and basked in the glow of the lava lamp," Richey said. It is Kim Richey 's ability to convey this type of feeling in her music that lets her stand above the crowd of new artists. So what is next for this talented lady? She will be touring clubs throughout the country until May. When her tour is complete, she will be an opening act for such powerhouses as Mary Chapin Carpenter and Tricia Yearwood. Her next album is slated to be recorded in June. If you want to meet Richey and see her in concert, she will be signing albums at Disky Business, 2960 E. 2nd Ave., 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, and performing at 9 p.m. Thursday, March 7 in Denver's Bluebird Theater, 3317 E.

he' claustrophobic snows of the season and the inevitability of upcoming midterms sends me thinking about travel to exotic places. The Island of Bali, halfway around the globe, sounds like an intriguing option. While upr~oting and traveling there is not a real possibility, I can catch a taste of it anyway. Saturday, March 2, a Balinese orchestra will be performing at the St. Cajetan's Center at 7:30 p.m. The orchestra, called the Gamelen Tunas Mekar is made up of 18 members. The instruments they play are diverse as the music itself, including small bronze metallophones, gongs, flutes and drums. An orchestra with an exotic twist. The music is light, yet highly structured. The precision is reminiscent of the carefully placed brushwork of a Chinese painting. The gong is used as the central timekeeper of this ensemble, creating a rhythmic pace which is chant-like in quality. there is almost a sense of space between the full, airy notes· of the xylophone-like metallophones. Each instrument is part of a pair which are tuned closely without being dead on. This creates a shimmering effect which is like the resounding after the chiming of cymbals. ·It is strong yet simple music for the soul. In addition to the music, this performance also incorporates dance and a shadow puppet play. This play is an important

Raices Mestizas

carrier of culture in the Balinese society, expressing myth, morality and religion. The puppets are believed to have spiritual power and are given life by the master puppeteer. In addition to controlling the puppets, the puppeteer also uses a drum and foot rattles to change the pace or tune of the orchestra in accordance to the story. The stories told by the puppet master are ancient Hindu tales, The Ramayana, and the Mahabhrata. Although the audience of these stories usually knows them by heart, the puppeteer uses improvisation to add humor to the story. Be prepared to laugh as the puppeteer draws upon current events in order to entertain modern audiences. This concert is sponsored by the Music Activities Committee of Metro's music department, and ·co-sponsored by the University of Denver, Lamont School of Music. This concert celebrates the initiation of a new music course - Musics of the World. This new course was introduced this semester by Metro professor of music, Larry Worster, who plans to continue intrOducing international concerts to the Metro and Auraria campus. As music is a key to understanding and appreciating diversity. Worster said he hopes these concerts and his class will help students see the humanity of all cultures. The concert is free for all Metro students and faculty, and for children um,ier the age of 10. Cost is $5 for adults and $2 for seniors and other students.

Is jazz Cool? American art form hotter than most azz: The greatest entirely-American art fonn. Last Friday as I was walking up a flight of stairs in the North Classroom building, I overheard the conversation of two very preppie-looking girls walking in front of me. It went something like this: "How was that party this weekend?" the chubby one said. "Not cool," said the thin one. "I mean, all they played was jazz." "That sucks," said the first one. What?! After I resisted the urge to throttle her, I took a moment and contemplated the complete stupidity of what it was they had said. Jazz is uncool?! I think not. Jazz was born and bred here in America by some of the most brilliant musical minds of the twentieth century. Tracing it back, you will find that the earliest roots of jazz come from calls and responses used by African tribes for a millennia. This developed into the blues movement, for which we can thank the early kings such as Robert Johnson or Willie Dixon. As it progressed to ragtime, Scott Joplin took it to a new level, opening the door for the Dixieland bands and musicians like Jack Teagarden. And then came the swing era. Gangsters, tommy guns, prohibition, Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie,

Baseball team drops season opener , '

Roadrunners lose to UNC in extra innings, beat School of Mines Steve Reagan The METROPOLITAN

The baseball season is off and running for the Roadrunners. The season started on a sour note for Metro's baseball team though: they lost their season opener 7-4 to the University of Northern Colorado. The game was tied at three in the top of the 11th when the Bears struck for 4 runs. Metro scored one in the bottom of the 11th, but the rally died. However, there were some bright spots for the Roadrunners. Center fielder Brian Micciulli went 4 for 5, with 2 runs scored and one RBI. Starting pitcher Mark Sheley threw five innings, giving up only one run on four hits, with two strikeouts. UNC pitcher Kent Ervin pitched all 11 innings for the victory. The team improved its record to 1-1 after a 14-13 victory at Colorado School of Mines. The Roadrunners scored four runs in the third with back-to-

back triples by catcher Pat Maxwell and left fielder Jay Vean. They had a 13-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, but gave up 8 runs. The bullpen gave up 11 runs in 5 innings. Brian Micciulli continued his hot hitting. He went 5 for 7 with two doubles, 3 runs scored, and 2 RBis. He has a team high batting average of .750. Catcher Pat Maxwell drove in a season high 5 RBis. He collected four hits and scored three runs. Pitcher Zenon Gonzales picked up the victory. Tuesday's double-header with the University of Wyoming was postponed due to the snow. The team now he!ids west to California. It will make stops in La Mirada, Costa Mesa, Irvine and Riverside. Before returning home. They will play one game in Greeley with the UNC Bears. The Roadrunners' next home game will be March 8 vs. Northeast Missouri.
