'Empowerment' rul~ elections All positions but one taken by 'Ticket' members Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The theme of empowerment prevailed in the Student Government elections with newly chosen Metro Student Government President Stephanie Stevenson and her ''Ticket to Empowerment" nearly sweeping the student vote. With only one exception, all of the vice president spots were won by her ticket members. 'f!le exception, Michael Oberndorf, ran unchallenged in the vice president of Student Services position and won that spot. The new vice president of Personnel and Finance is Salvador Bonilla. The vice president of Diversity spot went to Jaime Alvarez. The vice president of Student Fees position was garnered by William Coker. Brett Berringer continued as vice president of Student Organizations, a position he was appointed to in March. The Academic Affairs position went to John Saiz who ran unchallenged. The same was true in the Board of Trustees position as the lone candidate, Sandra Howard, was elected to the job. Maria Rodriguez also ran unchallenged and took the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board's one year position. John Baker won the SACAB 's two year spot in an unchallenged race. One position, vice president of Campus Communications ended in a tie, so the election commission is holding a run-off election between candidates Troy Grice of the "Ticket to Empowerment" and Victoria Lucero, said Kari Tutwiler, associate director of Student Activities and an election commission member. The election will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18 and will take place at the flagpole. Collectively, the ticket sounded the goal of working for students and increasing communication between student government and the students. Most of the new government agreed that it would like to work with the administration in order to better serve the students , especially with student-fees allotment. The council cited goals of looking at where fees are spent and getting more student input for these decisions.

WORKING HARD: Kari Tutwiler, associate director of Student Activities and Debra Lewis, a temporary worker from Temporary Market, count votes for Student Government elections Monday. The referendum asking whether students wished to keep paying 50 cents per semester to the Colorado Student Association in order to be represented at the state capitol passed by a large margin of 348-yes votes to 67-no votes. In an effort to avoid any conflict of interest, the ballots cast last week were not counted by Student Government members. Instead, Tutwiler counted them with a hired temporary employee. When they were not being counted, the ballots were sealed in a locked room with a campus security guard where they remained over the weekend between the voting deadline of Fri., April 5

to the start of counting on Mon., April 8. The only people who had access to the ballots were election commission members and the temporary employee who was escorted by election commission members to campus security when counting was initiated. Election commission members had to show identification to attain the ballots. According to Tutwiler, over 400 Metro students voted this year which is four times as many as two years ago when only 94 students voted. It is slightly higher than the estimated 300 students voted last year. Continued page 6

Metro faculty splits $15 million lotto jackpot Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN ;

Fate didn't just smile on two Metro employees, it flat out smooched them. Both are now enjoying their own shares of Colorado's $15 million lotto jackpot. Math professor Celestino Mendez received his check for $2.04 million Monday. Last week, Metro Director of Teachers for Colorado Jerry Minjarez went with his wife to pick up their first annuity check for $127,500 after taxes. The Minjarezes will receive annual checks for the next 25 years until their $7.5 million prize is paid off. Their last check, in 2021, will be for $304,920. Mendez decided to purchase his lotto ticket after lecturing on expected value in his probability class. He chose to receive his portion in a lump-sum payment. A whole sequence of events led Christine Minjarez to buy her quick picks. After leaving a hair salon, she found a penny facing head up near her car. Her husband, Jerry, said she has always looked

day, so she went to the supemiarket to buy some tickets," Minjarez said. At the supermarket another twist of

fate shoved its way into her life. The check-out line next to hers closed and an older woman was being told she had to go to the end of the line. "My wife has always been a real kind person, so she let her in front of her," . Minjarez said. The woman purchased the last tickets on the lotto roll. Minjarez had to wait for the paper to be changed. "She took this for a good sign and told the man that the first ticket off the machine would be the winner," Minjarez said. She-couldn't have been more right. Jerry Minjarez said he and wife are not going to quit their jobs. "We're not going to make any major life changes yet. I love my job and I enjoy what I do," Minjarez said. The Minjarezes will be vacationing with their daughter, who is graduating from University of Colorado-Boulder, and their son who is transferring to Metro from Arizona University. "We are going to Cozumel and the Caribbean this summer and maybe we' ll take a few other people along," he said.

Vandalism costs Auraria thousands $50,000 each year being spent to repair damages Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Andy Cross/Tt1e METROPOLITAN

WINDOW PAIN: Lee Taylor of A-1 Glass replaces windows in the Tivoli, because graffiti marred them three weeks ago.

The Tivoli Student Union is experiencing an increase in vandalism costing an average $50,000 per year in student fees, said Sandy Torres, marketing manager for the Tivoli. The costs of repairing damages caused by vandalism come out of the bond fee, which applies to the remodeling and operation of the Tivoli, according to Torres. Recently, Tivoli Management launched an intensive campaign to combat the increase in graffiti to the building. The efforts include hanging posters throughout campus advertising the Auraria Hotline and the statute applying to the offense. The Hotline serves to field reports of vandalism on campus. Costs to operate the hotline are absorbed by Public Safety according to Director of Auraria Public Safety Joe Ortiz. He said the Hotline is not a new thing, but hadn't been used much lately. He said Public Safety wants to keep the hotline issue-

specific in an effort to keep it alive and viable. Ortiz said that to advertise the number as a general crime-reporting line would cause it to "fall right on its face" rendering it ineffective. He said the key to the line's effectiveness is student, faculty and staff involvement. "It's our campus. If we want to keep it attractive, we need to do our share," he said. Torres agreed, "Student involvement is important. I want them to think of the Tivoli as their property. We certainly hope people will come forward." Ortiz said Public Safety will respond to Hotline calls in accordance with the extent of damage done to the Tivoli property. He said that penalties to persons caught vandalizing campus property range from a municipal charge which could garner a $1000 fine, to a county or state statute violation which carries fines and/or jail time. Torres said that graffiti has always been around but she decided to begin the intensive campaign against it when new entrance doors were installed around the Tivoli at a cost of $40,000 in February.

Shortly after installation, deep etchings were found in the doors, she said. Torres said that the glass was replaced once at a cost of $2,500. She also said that the doors have been vandalized twice since their installation only three months ago. The vandalism is mostly concentrated in the Tivoli bathrooms, elevators and stairwells, said Torres. In an effort to curb vandalism, Tivoli Management held meetings with graffiti-specialist security groups for advice on how to hamper the vandalism. The groups suggested the posters and the vandalism-specific hotline be installed. Tivoli Management has looked into the possibility of installing security cameras to monitor the student union. However, the costs of installation and employment of people to constantly monitor the cameras was found to be too high. Torres said the posters and the Hotline will hopefully be enough to decrease the vandalism. The hotline number is 556-COPS or 556-2677.

President delays faculty pay plan Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

. ,

.·

Metro President Sheila Kaplan delayed the ratification of her faculty pay plan so she can review professor's grievances about the proposal. Now nobody's sure when the salary plan will become official, but one thing is certain - there's little time before a compensation plan must be passed for summer school. Kaplan originally said her plan would be put into effect April 8. Stuart Monroe, chairman of the Computer Information Systems and Management Science Department, said he and other department chairs await a salary plan so they can determine how much money their departments will get to pay faculty during summer school. Kaplan calls for a reduction in summer school salaries to fund her plan, which is designed to bring fall and spring salaries closer to those of similar colleges . Despite his concern over the timeliness of the plan's passage, Monroe said he is pleased with the president's consideration of the faculty's concerns about the plan. "I have seen real reaction, there's been absolute positive response," he said. Monroe, who is a member of the Faculty Senate President's Council, said that on April 8 Sharon Siverts, the provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, assured the council that Kaplan's plan is under review. Siverts

also asked for the council's input on how to make the plan more agreeable, Monroe said. He and many other faculty opposed several points in Kaplan's plan and offered a counter plan which was submitted to the president by Faculty Senate President Gene Saxe on April 5. The faculty's counter plan offers modifications on the points in Kaplan's proposal that professors found unpalatable. The heavily contested issues in the president's original plan include the sharp reduction in summer salaries and a strong reliance on merit ratings for determining wages. The allocation of some of the money gained in the summer salary cut to chair stipends and contracts for services was disputed in the faculty's proposal as well. Under Kaplan's plan, some money generated from the cut is used to fund release time to pay chairs for administrative tasks. The counter plan calls for a smaller cut in faculty summer-school salaries in addition to an equal cut in summer administrative salaries. Also proposed is a smaller reliance on merit ratings to determine pay and the removal of Kaplan 's longevity cap. The longevity cap limits the amount of pay professors can get based on the number of years they have been at Metro. John Swift/The METROPOLITAN ''The truth is, if you take the caps off the financial implications are devastating," PAY ME: Stuart Monroe, chairman of the Computer Information Systems and Management Science Department, awaits a salary plan Kaplan said last week. from Metro to determine how much faculty will be paid this summer.

"It was a good turnout. Maybe not , comparatively, considering there are 17,000 students at Metro and only 400 . voted, but it's better than in the past," Tutwiler said. In the midst of the campaign, newly elected vice president of Academic I Affairs, Saiz filed a complaint with the election commission against John Morris, a presidential candidate. The complaint : accused Morris of violating campaign . ' rules by beginning his campaign before the March 15 deadline. Tutwiler said the election commission is still researching the complaint. She said 1 that the election commission received two written complaints on the subject but that

the commission was already investigating it. "We are currently consulting with the coJlege counsel," she said. Tutwiler offered the same answer to a controversy involving the "Ticket to Empowerment's" election expense receipts and whether or not they match up. Tutwiler said that some people did not spend any money during their campaigns and did not submit an expense sheet because of this. She said these people stilJ must turn in a sheet denoting that they spent nothing in order lo concur with campaign rules. Stevenson said that the campaign guidelines made no provisions for tickets and her ticket had pooled its assets and

they were not able to pinpoint some of their expenses. She said that she did submit a schedule of the amounts of money each candidate contributed. "As far as I know, the issue has been solved," Stevenson said. Tutwiler said it was too soon to say any more about either of the conflicts. Stevenson said that she would like to put these "small issues" behind her and her new administration and begin the advocacy for the students. Coker echoed the same view. "The students should be proud of this up and coming student government organization because we are truly the ticket to empowerment," Coker said.

N0- fool like a censor fool I Monday I participated in one of the most encouraging rites of passage on this campus. The Board of Publications for Metro interviewed four candidates for editor of The Metropolitan. During the interviews one of the candidates asked about the a recent situation that occurred at Mesa State College, where the editor was fired over. Mark Borgard, editor of the Criterion, was fired because of the content of the paper's April Fool's issue. The paper contained off color sexual remarks and a little word play like "Whorescope" instead of "horoscope." I think the whole idea of a April Fool's issue is foolish (sorry}. An April Fool's issue produced by The Metropolitan staff two years ago was one of the reasons I decided to apply for the job of editor. I don't believe an April Fool's joke in the paper is a proper use of student fees or serves the students very well. But according to Serri Pe'a vice president of Student Services for Mesa State, the reason Borgard was fired was due to "personnel issues." This is clearly a lame excuse. College administrators are always trying to silence student newspapers. The debate over freedom of the press and what is appropriate for a college publication is a hot issue. You don't have to go too far from home to experience the battle over a student newspaper. The Community News, the student newspaper for the Community College of Denver, suffered a semester of administrators and student government members complaining about the quality of the paper. The first time the paper was closed was attributed to "curse words." Staff at The Community News also

LOOKING AT LIFE

used some strong language and misspelled a few words and the administration thought this seemed to be grounds to close the paper. Spelling and punctuation errors were the reason for the second shutdown. Another reason for silencing the paper was they ran out of money. A student government member said it was just a simple matter of economics, they spent all their money. Perhaps this is true, but in the debut issue of the spring edition of The Community News, editor Ruth Randolf said the reason for the whole mess was censorship. She made that clear in her editorial. She echoed those remarks in an interview with The Metropolitan. Randolf says, "I don't think it would serve any purpose not to address the censorship issue ... When you pull something of any written work it's censorship." Randolf says she likes to speak her mind and is not afraid to offer her opinion. I hope the administration and student government of CCD has matured enough to allow her some freedom. We at Metro and The Metropolitan are fortunate that, thanks to the long hard efforts of Kate Lutrey the director of the Office of Student Publications, we have one of the most independent publications in the. nation.

numerous college papers that have advisers who have editorial control and the power to pull a story. Many of these publication operate under the banner of being a student newspaper, but that is only in name when the college has the power to censor or close the paper's operation. Last year Richard Chapman, a member of the journalism faculty, made attempts to force the Office of Student Publications to hire a full-time adviser to oversee the editorial content of the paper. His argument was Metro students were not being properly served by the paper and journalism students were not gaining any experience working here. Chapman was a member of the Student Affairs Board, the board that approves the budget of several student-fee funded programs on campus. His argument influenced some faculty members on the board, but to no real surprise students argued vigorously against the proposal. The proposal failed thanks to students who realize the importance of a free and independent student voice. To all the students of Metro I say thank you for this wonderful gift we offer each other. The Metropolitan is not perfect and we know that. The important thing is we work hard to serve the students of Metro. I am confident that hardworking tradition will continue next year. So, as I sat in that Monday meeting and watched the Board of Publications select Donna Hickey as the editor of The Metropolitan for the 1996-97 school year, I was very happy and satisfied. She is a qualified and confident journalism student. She will do an outstanding job. Always remember that the most dangerous aspect of censorship is

The METROPOLITAN

A word from your new president To Metro Students:

...

I am writing this letter to the students of Metro so that I may reiterate the issues that were addressed during the two weeks of campaigning by myself and my colleagues on the "Ticket To Empowerment." We had a unique opportunity to address several classes regarding issues of great concern to students, such as academic advising, creating in/out parking privileges, making student evaluations available and decreasing tuition. There are many resources available to students that are utilized. In touching on those resources, one such example is the Teacher Evaluations. Teacher Evaluations are compiled in a book that reveals the overall score given to professors by students and the department he/she belongs to. I have benefited by this information by reviewing those 路scores and then choosing my classes based on this information. Now, this is certainly not a guarantee that you will receive the best professor, however, I will say that it has worked for myself. As a way of making this compilation of scores readily available and accessible, Brett Berringer, the V.P. of Student Organizations, came up with the idea of producing a WEB page since all students at Metro can access this system. All it would require is a stroke of a finger. Students also expressed the need for SGA to create a newsletter, designed to disseminate information to the student body. Since my main concern

is to establish a communication link between students and the administration, I will certainly explore that avenue. There are many other areas that need the attention of SGA. What I have stated above are only a few. And since my objective as the Metro Student Government Assembly President is to communicate effectively with the students, I will make every attempt to keep the students abreast of all issues that take place at Metro. Student Government Meetings convene on each Thursday of the month at 3:30 p.m. in nvoli 329. In addition to Thursday meetings, I will make these times flexible so as to accommodate night students. I will inform you as soon as a decision is made on this issue. I would like to take this time to again, thank the students of Metro for participating in this year's SGA elections. I cannot say enough how important it is that students of Metro support their student government and become involved with the process of student advocacy. By doing this, you will create a presence in the eyes of administration, sending a strong message, that you are indeed concerned about how your tuition dollars are utilized. The newly elected student government will be sworn in at an inauguration party on April 24, 1996. Details will be provided later on the time and place of this event. Troy Grice, a member of the "Ticket To

Empowerment," will be in a run-off on April 18. In a conversation with me, Troy expressed that he desperately wants to contribute to the students' cause and has several specific plans, which, if given the opportunity will have a profound impact on communications between students and administration. As V.P. of Campus Communications, Troy is a vital link to achieving all of our goals. His student advocacy did not evolve with these elections, but were already existent. Prior to SGA elections, Troy Grice served on my Academic Affairs Committee and was instrumental in shedding light on Metro Administration's actual expenditures of student-fee money. Troy has the support of the entire "Ticket To Empowerment," which includes student advocates like Salvador Bonilla and Jamaiz Alvarez. In closing, I would leave a quote, not only for the students of Metro, but to those students who want to make a difference and stand up for what they believe is right. R.E. Chambers says that, "Most people don't know how brave they really are. In fact, many potential heroes, both men and women, live out their lives in self-doubt. If they only know they had these deep resources, it would help give them the self-reliance to meet most problems, even a big crisis." Stephanie Stevenson Metro Student Government President-elect

Time to set the record straight on student government "Setting the Record Straight-An Atypical Experience in the Politics of Student Government?" I am one of only two original voting members that remain on SGA. Over the course of this semester, several articles and editorials have been written concerning SGA. All of them were 路 inaccurate in that they presented only one side, my reason for writing this commentary is to present the complete story. An immediate conflict arose over the fact that there were members of SGA who felt that feathers should not be ruffled; on the other hand, there were members who felt that we had been elected or appointed to serve Metro Students and that we should accomplish this responsibility by any means possible, including ruffling feathers. Also, very soon into the administration a major conflict arose over accountability. With the new constitution, there are twelve members each having her/his own area; yet, is expected to act as a member of a team. There were certain individuals who either couldn't complete projects or chose not to complete projects. Glaring examples of this are the SGA brochure not being completed, the situation with CoPIRG being displaced from the Club Hub, and the Chair of a particular committee scheduling meetings and then not being in attendance at the meetings. Also, people on SGA used their platform to promote special interests and reward groups they were affiliated with. The most telling example of this is the Club Funding Committee (CFC). There are 105 clubs at Metro; yet

recent calculations show that five clubs received over 60 percent of the money dispersed by CFC for this entire academic year. Did the person responsible notify all clubs that money was available from CFC? The only logical conclusion that one can reach is NO! The SGA Office Manager/President was aware of these and other impeding factors. She didn't do anything to calm the situation. While her position necessitates objectivity, she chose to take sides which caused an already bad situation to deteriorate rapidly. An example of her taking sides can be found in the March 15, 1996, Metropolitan article regarding Brett Haselton attending the Student Services Conference in Orlando, Florida. The President is quoted as saying that it is "bizarre" for Haselton to FJ.ttend the conference. I disagree. Brett Haselton, who did not receive any pay, worked to implement a fairer grade-appeal policy and he fought diligently against the proposed AMC expansion, including testifying against it. He also attended several faculty senate meetings. What I find bizarre is that the SGA leadership didn't take part in the above-listed projects. Further, the SGA leadership has shown and continues to show a blatant disregard for the decisions made by the voting members of SGA. The most

recent example is at our March 28, 1996, meeting a vote was taken regarding the proposed student-fee TURN increases. The vote was 2-yes 1-no and 2abstentions. All year long abstentions have counted as "no" votes. After the vote the president, declared that the motion failed. Later in the meeting as a side note she declared that the motion passed. When asked about this she did not respond. To make matters worse, on March 29, 1996, it was faxed to key administrators all over campus that SGA supports the proposed fee increases. I ask you with two affirmative votes and 3 negative votes, how did such a motion pass? Further, the president in a March 29, 1996, Metropolitan commentary states, "... I refuse to take responsibility for any decisions made by my colleagues." Perhaps, this is the greatest problem of all. According to the SGA Constitution the president is to assure the smooth operations of SGA. The president failed miserably at carrying out this responsibility. She failed beGause she was aware of decisionsmade by members that were detrimental to the body as a whole and she chose not to intervene. She had formed alliances and she didn't want to go against her friends. Another reason for the chaos is

that several current and former SGA members were either unwilling or unable to make a total commitment. Numerous times when it was pointed out that the body was rendered ineffective because individuals were not carrying out their responsibilities the response was that SGA cannot be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because we have other responsibilities such as school, social, and family. I don't believe that SGA is a place for individuals who can't give a total commitment. Have I given a total commitment to Metro students? I sleep well because I know that I have done this. I ask each of my colleagues past and present to do a brief self-inspection and decide if they can truly answer the above question affirmatively. In reference to Louis Landa's March 15, 1996, commentary saying that the administration loved the infighting among SGA members because they were free to slip another tuition increase through: The tuition increase was part of a three-year agreement supported by last year's SGA. Reading Landa's article, one would believe that members of SGA never .challenged the administration. This conclusion is an absolute lie. One example of SGA members and other students challenging both Metro administration and Faculty is the Grade Appeal Procedure. The result is that it was announced at the recent SGA round table that a new policy will be in effect possibly by July 1. I end by simply saying, Thanks For the Memories! Usa R. Scott is vice president of Student Services for Metro student government.

Led with the lyrics and vocals of lead guiqu-ist Dan Wilson, The G~at Divide is marked by a slower feel and less hard-edged music than the average'rock group today, yet musically, the sound is a bit more innovative. A Beatles influence pops up here and there as does Bob Dylan, especially on the song "No One Else," which does serve- to enhance the overall feel of tfle album. Unfortunately, the Dylan influence creeps in again in "falling" which leads off with a harmonica solo only a true Dylan fan would play.

here is a possibility that this movie will be ignored because it is a documentary. There is a possibility that this movie will be ignored· because it about the portrayal of homosexuality in Hollywood movies. There is a possibility that this movie will be ignored because it is playing in art theaters. But this is a movie that is hard to ignore. The Celluloid Closet is a film about Hollywood's portrayal of homosexuality in films . It shows joy, pain, violence, pleasure, smiles and tears. It shows how gays have been on screen from the very beginning. In fact, one of the earliest surviving films that Thomas Edison shot shows two men dancing together while a violinist plays into an early gramaphone. In the silent era of film, Homosexuality was a source of comic relief - such as having a flamboyant pansy amongst the macho cowboys of the wild west. Mistaken identity was also good for a laugh. In the Charlie Chaplin movie, Behind the Scene, there is a scene in which Charlie is kissing a girl dressed as a man. A stagehand comes along, sees this, and immediately starts to taunt Chalpin by prancing around in an extremely effeminate way. Film historian Richard Dryer points out that this stereotype of gay men and effeminacy was, "so firmly in place that a popular mainstream film could assume that the audience would know what that swishy [behavior] was all about." When "talkies" burst onto the scene, Hollywood had it's first stock gay character - the sissy. The sissy was a character that had no apparent sexuality, and therefore was not threatening to

men or women, and thrived because he took the space between men and women. They were not perceived as homosexuals on the surface, and nobody cared. In 1934 the Hays Code, a censorship code designed to make movies more 'moral,' came into effect, and the writers and directors had to be more careful about what they showed on screen. The Hays Code prohibited things such as open-mouthed kissing, rape, lustful embraces, nudity, profanity, sexual perversion, and more. But the Hays code did not erase homosexuals from the scene, but rather turned them into cold blooded villains. This is just one of the changes that gays on screen have undergone throught the years. Jeffery Friedman's and Rob Epstein 's film, The Celluloid Closet shows and explains all ·the changes in how Hollywood has portrayed homosexuality on screen. Directors, writers, producers, and are all interviewed to help offer insight to how it all works. People such as, Whoppi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, Susie Bright, Gore Vidal, Tom Hanks, Harry Hamlin, and Susan Sarandon were interviewed. This is a incredible film . The amount of time, research, and hard work that went into it is evident in the final product. If for no other reason, go see this film to watch how Hollywood rebelled against the censorship, and began to write and film between the lines. To see how they snuck around the Hays code and all the other censorship's. This is not a movie about gays for gays, but rather a film about people for people. The movie opens April 19 and can be seen only at the Mayan Theatre at 110 Broadway.

Tennis teams serve mixed results Men win "match of the season," women choke against Montana State The regular No. 2 singles player Lena Capra and No. 3 player Pipr Osborne struggled against the Montana team with Capra falling to MSU's No. 1 singles player Koelzer with a score of 6-0, 6-3. Osborne lost to MSU's No. 2 player Watson in straight sets of 7-5, 6-3. "I was playing really bad," Capra said, "My confidence is really down right now. It's like I'm beating myself rather than they're (opponents) beating me. It's all mental." Stennes agreed that the mental game was important. "That's the hardest part of tennis-the mental aspect of it," she said. "Besides, the last couple of matches have been really rough ones." With the MSU competition, the women boosted their losing record to 2-14. The women were shut out by the Air Force Academy 0-7 on April 6. The Roadrunners again had to give up singles and doubles points due to the absentee spot on the roster. Still, those points would not have helped the women as Air Force was victorious in most of the matches in straight sets. "We lost lo a very strong Air Force team," Sileo said, "Pipr Osborne is getting her game on a roll and nearly pulled off an upset at No. 3 singles." Osborne was the only player to last more than two sets against the Air Force team winning one set 6-4 but giving up the next two sets with scores of 3-6, 2-6. The women were also shut out by Air Force the last time the teams matched up, on Feb.

"I credit the bottom part of the line-up for the victory,"Sileo said. The men squeaked by the Montana team with a score of 4-3. In singles, the Roadrunners won at the No. 3 position with Cory Fischer dominating MSU's Greg Benedyl in straight sets of 6-3, 6-4. In the No. 4 spot, Tony Gerome beat MSU's Brian McDonald, winning 6-3, 7-5. And the last win for Metro in singles action took place in No. 6 position with Jamison Waldrop winning 7-6, 6-3 over MSU's Matt Castro. Matt Caldwell and Waldrop crushed Montana's No. 3 doubles team, winning 8-4. No. 2 doubles players Fischer and Gerome teamed up for the first time to overtake MSU's Scott Litle and McDonald, whom Gerome beat in singles play, by a score of 9-8. Fischer contributed his recent successes to increased concentration. He also said that his new partnership with Gerome was a complimentary one, "We don't put a lot of pressure on each other." "We don't need to," Gerome added saying it was a natural pairing. "I'm starting to improve overall," Gerome said, "things are starting to come around." "I get more relaxed as the season goes on. I can go out there and play with the best of them," Fischer said. Sileo was impressed by the men's play against Montana, "Everyone played well, particularly the No. 2 doubles team of Fischer and Gerome who squeezed out a crucial win in a tough tie breaker." The MSU play advanced the men's record to 6-10. However, the women's team faced the Montana team not only short the usual points for the vacant singles and doubles spot, but also missing its No. I singles player Danielle Nelson who is suffering from tennis elbow. Still, Metro took the No. 3 and No. 4 singles matches with No. 3 player Kirsten Stennes whipping MSU's Nicole Piper, winning 6-3, 6-2 and the No. 4 Brandi Clemons claiming the win against Montana's Molle

WHACK: Metro tennis player Kirsten Stennes smacks a forehand in a winning match against Montana State University. The women lost 2-5. Genor in straight sets of 6-4, 6-4. Metro also won one of the two remaining double matches in the No. 2 spot with Osborne and Clemons narrowly victorious with a score of 9-8 against Montana's Michelle Watson and Tami Wilson. The women drowned in No. I doubles competition, losing 8-2 against MSU's Nikki Koelzer and Piper.

The men also faltered in a match against Colorado School of Mines on April 5, losing 1-6. Some of the only points Metro collected were scored by No. I singles player Buu Le who beat Mines' Jeff Krueger in three sets of 36, 6-1, 7-5. "On the positive side, Buu Le has shown considerable improvement," Sileo said, "He Jost 6-1, 6-1 to CSM this past fall, but has improved his game so drastically that he beat CSM in a tough three-setter." The only other points Metro scored came in doubles competition with Nathan Green and Fischer dominating Krueger and Bret Sprague to claim the No. 2 doubles victory, winning 8-4. The men will host the Colorado Collegiate Tournament April 12 and 13. The women competed at Regis University April JO; results for that match will appear next week.

Edwards voted All-American Women's basketball player first hoopster to receive honor at Metro Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Metro women's basketball superstar Vanessa Edwards, the two-time Colorado Athletic Conference Player of the Year and scoring champ, has received yet another honor for her spectacular play as a Roadrunner. Edwards was voted second team All-American for NCAA Division II women's college basketball. It marks the second time in her college career that she has garnered All-American status. "A lot of people don't know that I was first-team All-American at Panhandle State University in 199394," Edwards said. Edwards, who transferred to Metro for the 1994-95 season, averaged 17 points per game in her first season as a Roadrunner and 24.9 this year. She led the team to an upset victory over the University of Denver in the CAC Tournament Final and an appearance at the NCAA Division II Regionals. "Coming to Metro was a good move," Edwards said. "My only regret is not having any more eligibility." Edwards is a secondary Physical Education major and will graduate in

the Spring of 1997. Her immediate plans are to come back next season as a student assistant to Darryl Smith for the women's team. "It will be hard not playing," Edwards said. "I don't know how I'll deal with it. I would like to get involved playing at practices, though." Metro will be joining the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference next season and Edwards said it would have been nice to see how she fared against the increased competition. Edwards was dominant in her last season as a Roadrunner. She set the school record for most points in a game twice. On Dec. 1, she scored 37 points in a 78-49 trouncing of Johnson C. Smith University. Then, on Jan. 18, she broke her own record, filling it up with 39 points in a 73-58 win over the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Her best moment, however, came against DU in the CAC Tournament Final. Edwards took over the game, scoring 31 points in Metro's 76-58 win at the DU Fieldhouse. Edwards finished as the all-time single-season scoring leader at Metro with 673 points in 1995-96.
