Professor's union in works Wage conflict spurs f acuity to eye collective bargaining Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

The faculty-wage dilemma grinded to a halt on April 16 when Metro President Sheila Kaplan made public her official equity/parity plan, prompting faculty discussion of organizing a teacher's union at Metro. Still dissatisfied with Kaplan's second and final revision of the pay plan, on April 17 Norm Pence, a Metro computer science professor, began collecting names of professors wanting to join the Colorado Federation of Teachers. Five signed up since last week, he said, and at least 15 more have expressed interest in unionizing. "These people realize it's going to take a union to solve some of the problems at this college," Pence said. "If it was determined that the faculty and administration would work together, than none of this would be necessary." Faculty Senate President Gene Saxe said unionization could lead to a better bargaining position for the faculty. "I've talked to Norm (Pence) about it, and in terms of dealing with salaries, institutions that are organized have more leverage," Saxe said. Joining the union is the right of the faculty according to Kaplan, but she said she's given them ample opportunity to air their complaints about the first draft of the plan. "They can join anything they want, it's a free country," she said. "There's been endless discussion, everyone who wanted a chance had a chance." Few professors agree the meetings and consultations with the faculty were fruitful, regardless of Kaplan's many meetings with those who took issue with her first plan. Saxe said the Faculty Senate does not support Kaplan's final plan because among other things, it does not achieve equity and parity in a reasonable time frame. Kaplan said she's doing the best she can with available funding. "If our finances improve, we'll move more quickly," she said. "If I won the lottery and could have a magic wand to come up with the money, I would do it tomorrow." Saying he's given up hope on faculty's ability to negotiate with Kaplan and the administration over wages, Pence said the president's pay plan is a token effort to

alleviate the college's salary problems. "It's a fraction of a drop in the bucket," he said. Kaplan responded to a general outcry against her initial proposal to slash summer wages, by making a significant change in her second draft of the pay plan. Under the original plan, professors stood to lose 28 percent of their summer pay. Under the new plan, they'll get paid only 7 percent less. The president said her decision to reduce the pay cut was influenced by faculty suggestions that she make a series of smaller cuts over the course of several years instead of making a big cut at the outset of the plan. The drastic reduction of the summer pay cut was a relief for many professors, but since money generated from the cut was slated to boost fall and spring wages, the faculty now question how far Kaplan's final plan will go

toward bringing their salaries to parity with other colleges. Kaplan said she's able to allocate only $150,000 next year to equity and parity as opposed to her initial commitment of $200,000. The summer pay cut will result in a $50,000 gain for fall and spring salaries, the rest will come from vacated administrative and faculty positions, she said. Kaplan has long said she knows there are salary inequities at Metro, problems she inherited when she came to the college. But dealing with the wage issue is a daunting task - she said solutions to which will probably never be to everyone's liking.

Art using racist flier raises questions Mike Larkin The METROPOLITAN

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

ART MAN: Tony A. Diego, an art student, stirred up controversy with his artwork entitled, "I keep Bringing It Up, Because It Keeps Happening," which uses phrases from a racist flier that recently resurfaced on campus.

A Metro student's artwork raised the eyebrows of faculty and students and stirred up the age old debate over what constitutes art. The piece, titled "I Keep Bringing It Up, Because It Keeps Happening!," has several anti-mexican phrases layered on top of a slave-sale proclamation from the 1800's. The phrases were taken from a yearold racist flier that has recently resurfaced on campus. The flier denounces a "brown plague" of Mexicans entering the United States and one of the sentences that artist Tony A. Diego used in the piece calls for the "sterilization of Mexican illegals." Upon hearing complaints about the piece, the Art Department questioned Diego''s instructor Jen Garner about Diego's cultural background and intent in the piece.

Garner said she told the department that the piece was being misinterpreted. The department decided to leave the decision as to whether the piece was appropriate to display to Diego and Garner. Diego said he first heard about the complaints from a classmate on his way to class Wednesday morning. Garner said she had taken the artwork down Tuesday night to "protect the piece." "Jen handled it right," Diego said. He said the piece was speaking 路 against racism but he understood how it could have been misinterpreted. Diego and Garner decided to display the piece, but Diego added the work's title and an artist's statement to alleviate further misunderstandings. The one paragraph statement concludes by saying, "This piece is a reminder to us all, that prejudice, as much as we hate to admit it, is alive and well!

Schools survey students on the issues Questions include.different methods offunding the campus buildings Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN 1\8

A survey intended to gather the students' opinions as to how their money is spent, is circulating the campus. The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and the student government assemblies of the three Auraria institutions initiated the survey to gather information for future student advisory committees, according to Ajayi Harris, a Metro SACAB member. The schools wanted to see where students wanted to allocate funds and which services students actually used. Some of the areas of concern included the RTD bus pass, additional funding for the Auraria Events Center, Child Care Center and the Tivoli Student Union, as well as the various forms of campus media, such as Auraria Campus Television and college newspapers. Some of the questions included asking students whether they were willing to pay a $15.41 student fee each semester for the bus pass and how would students prefer to fund the campus buildings, with options ranging from a $12 student-fee increase per year to allowing other business enterprises to come to campus or allowing current establishments to expand, such as an AMC theater expansion. There were questions intended solely for students of the various campus institutions. Community College of Denver students were asked for suggestions regarding the South Classroom lobby as

well as if they would like to have a mascot and if they are aware of such services as Tri-Institutional Legal Services and the Recreation Center. The survey also asked CCD students if they wanted a student newspaper and if they wanted student fees to pay for it.

Questions for Metro students included whether they are in support of the three-credit multi-cultural requirement and why or why not. It asked if Metro students viewe.d the grade appeal process as "fair and reasonable," as well as if the published faculty evaluations were useful. Students were asked what kind of programs or services they would like to see Metro provide or improve upon and if there was an issue that the Metro student government or administration should address. The University of Colorado-Denver section went so far as to ask for student involvement in their student government. The survey asked for names and phone numbers of those interested. Other UCD issues included finding out if students used many of the services available to them such as the Career Resource Center, the Center for Learning Assistance and the Student Advocacy Center. The survey asked students if they were aware that the UCD student government provides The Student Survival Guide, faculty evaluations and recognizes and funds student clubs and organizations. UCD also wanted to know if its students viewed the school as an ethical environment for students. The schools' student governments and SACAB passed the survey out to a random number of classes at each of the schools with the cooperation of the Faculty Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, according to Harris. He said the results have not yet been determined. They will be published and available to students, he said.

Tivoli Management cllts Sigf;S :tiOUrS Anna Maria Basquez The METROPOLITAN

Tivoli Management decided to cut weekly business at Sigi's Pool Hall by eight hours starting May 13 because of vandalism and safety concerns. It was a move determined in late March by Phil Bustos and Barbara Weiske of Tivoli Management after advisement by Auraria Public Safety, the Denver Gang Unit and the Denver Police Department. The decision prompted representatives from the Student. Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board to form the Save Sigi's Auraria committee (SSA) to generate alternatives. "It's been a really tough decision, but our first priority is the safety of the staff," said Weiske, director of Tivoli Management. "Our second is to the campus students and being accountable for their fees." The pool hall will close at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Weiske said. Currently, the hall is open on Thursday and Friday until 12 a.m. and on Saturday until 1 a.m. The early closing of Sigi's, however, will not close the Tivoli building early, she added. "I can see the rationale, but Tivoli Management assumes people in Sigi's are causing the vandalism in the building," said Ajayi Harris, Metro SACAB representative. "Nothing is said about the patrons of the movie theater and club America." Harris sent out a flier opposing the

Closing times will be cut from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. To make up for some of the time, Sigi's will be open on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Weiske said. "I wouldn't blame them at all for closing if they see shady characters running around and if they can make enough money during the week to close it early on those nights," said Rob Wood, a Metro finance major. "Have you ever been down here on weekends?" "With all the vandalism and beatings going on in the area, it's probably the best for safety precautions," said Renee Albro, a University of Colorado-Denver accounting major. Harris wants students, faculty and clubs to get involved in formulating other options with the committee. "We have looked at alternatives and I appreciate the stance of the committee," Weiske said. "We're open to their ideas." Tivoli Management looked at the alternatives, such as zoning the area, Weiske said. However, they found that fire regulations don't allow certain areas to be fenced off. "I can't say the alternatives will be able to change our decision," she said. "We can't compromise the safety of students." She said with the hall open on Sundays, the loss of revenue is estimated at $2,000 to $3,000 annually after expenses. Without Sundays, it could be as high as $10,000, Weiske said.

Nation of Islam preaches peace Jamal Muhammad explains views he says are being misinterpreted Mike Larkin The METROPOLITAN

·'

It's been a tough spring for Jamal Muhammad and he concedes that he has been in the "eye of the stonn." From a court battle allowing him to speak at George Washington High School to the controversy surrounding the Denver Million Man March he has planned, Muhammad has been a fixture in the media's spotlight. When he came to speak at the Tivoli Turnhalle last Thursday, he made it clear that he wanted to explain the views of the Nation of Islam - views that he said are being misinterpreted. Over 80 people, representing a broad range of races and ethnicities, attended the free lecture in the Tumhalle. Security was tight and metal detectors were used on all attendees - people with as much as a pocketknife were turned away. Muhammad used his speaking opportunity to explain some of the views of Nation of Islam that have been perceived as racist and "anti-Semitic." "You have some Jews manipulating politics," he said. "Not all Jews but some Jews. But if we criticize this we are 'against all Jews.'" Muhammad said that, as is the case with any religion, race or creed, "there are good Jews and bad Jews." He spoke out against African Americans dwelling on the past and blaming white people for their problems. "We're not worried about what white folks did to us 400 years ago," he said. "We've got to deal with now ... We've got to get it together." "It's not white folks killing our kids in northeast Denver. It's black folks." While he stressed that the past is just the past, he did remind the audience that African Americans were cut off from their roots when they were brought to America. Their heritage, culture and traditions were left behind leaving the new Americans in a cultural void that was filled by the white slave-owners.

---· ~

"If Jews can keep reminding each other about their holocaust, we can remind each other about our hell-of-a-cost," Muhammad said. "Islam is a religion of peace," he told the audience. "We're reaching out to everyone." But he added that nobody respects weakness and that "if those little pranksters that went into the mosque playing their music came into our mosque they'd still be in the hospital." He was referring to a situation a month ago in which three radio station employees were suspended for playing the national anthem inside a Denver mosque, after Denver Nuggets player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refused to stand for the national anthem at games. "We're not aggressive but if you bring it to us, we'll bring it to you," he said. "We're not strapped with guns, we're strapped with God." He touched on how Arab Muslims talk down to him about not practicing Islam correctly. "I'm not an Arab. I'm a black man in America," he said. "Terrorism . . . bombing planes . . . hating Jews. That is not Islam. That is not what Muhammad taught." Muhammad addressed the trouble he has been having with the Denver Million Man March, which was originally slated to be at Mile High Stadium but was moved to the Denver Coliseum and again to Stapleton airport. He said he never expected a million people to show up to the Million Man March since there are only an estimated 150,000 black people, 12 percent of .the population, in Denver. Even with the low, early support he said that "nobody will stop this Million Man March .. . we will not cancel this event." The day before his speech, Denver's Latino community leaders pulled their support from the march, citing a lack of opportunity for them to participate in the event's organization. Muhammad told the audience that "our arms are open" to those communities if they change their minds and decide to participate in the march.

Club creates car Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Six Metro mechanical engineering students travelled to Arizona to compete in a national automobile race and were one of the few teams to finish the race. The race, dubbed the Mini Baja West, involved engineering students racing cars they designed and built. The cars were judged for safety, design and endurance. In the first part of the competition, the teams had to achieve a safety sticker. The teams were deducted points for safety violations; teams scoring zero had no safety problems-the Metro team passed with a zero. The vehicles also had to pass a test for braking in which the vehicles traveled at 25 miles per hour and were required to shop with. in 40 feet. Metro also satisfied this requirement as well as the design inspection. The next phase of the competition dealt with acceleration; the Metro team achieved an acceleration rate of 6.22 seconds per 50 yards. This was a median speed as the field ranged from 5.7 to 8 seconds. The vehicles then had to participate in a hill climb. Faculty team sponsor David French described the hill. "It was so steep that a vehicle in front of us flipped over and rolled back down the hill." Metro satisfied this phase of competition as well. The car then went through a maneuverability course before going on to the main event: the endurance race. John Swift !The METROPOLITAN In the endurance race, the teams ran a three-mile course continuously for four hours. EXTRA DETAIL: Gy Wooden, president of Society of Automotive French said that the course resembled the actuEngineers, fine tunes the engine of Metro's dune buggy.

al Baja Peninsula terrain in California with a hill to climb, gullies and a lot of rocks. He said it was a very rough course and only 23 of the 70 teams competing completed it, including Metro. French said that this is the first time Metro has ever completed the race. "This is the most successful we have been. We did really well," he said. The students who participated were a part of the Society of Automobile Engineers oncampus Student Chapter. They were Eric Balay, Paul Harris, Jeff Lind, Ed Sears, Gy Wooden and Adam Zutman. Wooden and Harris were the team captains. The men built the vehicle along with about nine other student engineers, French said. The vehicle for next year is already under design as part of the senior machine design project. The team raised the funding for the project from the Club Funding Committee, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, bake sales and raffles. French said, however, that a good portion of the money came from the student engineers and himself. The project cost around $5000. Results from the contest have not yet been determined. The competition took place at the Arizona State University in Tempe April 18-20. This is the first time the Mini Baja West was hosted in Arizona. The Society of Automotive Engineers sponsors three Mini Baja competitions held around the country each year. The Mini Baja originated at the University of South Carolina in 1976 under the supervision of J.F. Stevens, who started the competition.

'Empowerment' continues in runoff

Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The theme of empowennent continues in Metro Student Government as yet another candidate from the "Ticket to Empowennent" was elected April 18. The candidate, Troy Grice, who ran with the ticket in the initial April 1-5 elections tied with candidate Victoria Lucero for the position of vice president of Campus Communications; the vote was 239-239. However, in the runoff election held April 18, Grice hailed as the victor claiming 38 votes to Lucero's 24. Grice wanted to join student government because he did not see any student advocacy from it. "I want to trumpet their (the students) cause," Grice said. Grice laid out his plans, which he said can be easily done within the first 100 days he is in office. First, he said he wants to help the student body in any way he can, working with or against the administration depending on which is most effective. He said that the Budget Data Document, which states where student fees are allocated, is incoherent and he would like to revamp it so students can clearly see where student fees are going.

'•fl!' exciting opportunity that isn't just a job? .·~::;:

Next, Grice said he is frustrated with the way minutes are taken, how votes are filed and how accessible these records are within Student Government. He said he would like to restructure the entire system and publish it in The Metropolitan, on Auraria Campus Television and bulletin boards. His third goal for the first I 00 days of his vice presidency, Grice said he wants to see more effective ways of analyzing and digesting Student Government proposals. He would also like to see student government proposals published in order to infonn Metro students of them. Official duties for the vice president of Campus Communications state he shall assist in producing documents, dealing with student government matters and be responsible for archiving them and making them available to any member of the student body upon request. He also is responsible for establishing a communications structure for and among student government members, ex-officio members, committee members, Metrc-:-ersonnel, the students and the community in general. Grice will assist student government members with disseminating infonnation, language usage, criteria for text and interview strategies with the media, according to his job description.

Pay plan finalized

From page 3 the comments and criticisms about the plan," she said. Kaplan did not reduce the weight merit has on salaries or remove the longevity cap, which stops additional pay for time worked at the college at 25 years. The faculty targeted merit and the longevity caps in a counterproposal to the president's first pay plan. "The administration has not been successful in creating a pay schedule that pays people what they're worth," said Jay Brodell, a Journalism professor who signed up to become a member of the Colorado Teacher's Federation. Brodell said he chose to join the union because he's tired of seeing Metro administrators

devalue faculty by underpaying them and not treating them with dignity. "It's more than salary, it's respect," he said. "I joined (the union) to show the solidarity of the faculty and to let administrators and trustees know that the faculty feel they're being pushed around." Both administrators and faculty say Metro professors are for the most part underpaid but neither say there's an end in sight to the conflict over faculty pay. For some, a union at Metro brings promise of solving the problem. "There's a lot to be improved, one of the problems is, of course, the equity parity problem is much larger than recognized," Saxe said.

OPINION

APRIL 26, 1996

Educating Louis There 's this old joke. There are two elderly Jewish women sitting in a Catskill Mountain Resort and one says to the other, 'The food here is really terrible." And the other one says, "I know, and in such small portions." Well this is basically my joke about life. Life is full of misery and pain and suffering and death and destruction ... and it's over all too quickly. -Woody Allen Annie Hall

In my opinion these are the best opening lines of any motion picture ever made and they best represent my year as editor in chief at The Metropolitan. It has been filled with many late nights, criticism, errors, pain, death, suffering, fear and sadness ... and it's over all too soon. I suppose it is difficult not to try in my last installment of "Looking At Life" to impart some message to the students of Metro, the people who are the true focus of this publication. I will start by posing a question to myself and in turn pose it to you: What have I learned? I have learned that life is fleeting. All things that seem so certain one day, seem so unsure the next. Some people may see this as a fault and weakness, but I see it as the true value of education. Education should not be easy, it should be extremely difficult and at times, painful. It demands an open mind. With education comes understanding and tolerance, a precious commodity that is woefully lacking on this campus. I have learned these lessons from looking at life and they were buttressed by my academic pursuits at

LOOKING

AT LIFE Louis A. Landa

Metro and the other colleges that helped me complete my degree. The three most important things I have learned during my quest for a degree have changed my life. These changes came from Metro professors. Jeff Stamper, a part-time teacher of biology for Metro, helped me to understand the "Scientific Method." And if I remember it correctly, it says that if you are trying to confirm a scientific theory, you should try understand and believe that the solution you find may be true, but at the same time may be fleeting. The evidence you hold true may only be true for now. Another important aspect to my college education came from Frederick Doepke, the chairman of the Philosophy Department. He taught me the definition of "credulity." Sounds fairly simple - the definition of one word. But the definition goes like this: That way of investigating in which one!s desire to believe in a certain way causes one to be more influenced by data that supports that belief.

This hit me like a brick in the face. It helped me realize that this was how I have conducted my life, and that it is not a very healthy way to live. We often go through life searching for the safe things and the safe answers to the illnesses that plague

us. Doepke taught me to stop this selfdestructive behavior. This is one of the ways, albeit difficult ways, of looking at life. The third and most important lesson came from a professor who some of you know. His name is Juan Esteve. Esteve taught me that your current life is the most important life you can ever have. He fled Cuba following the Revolution. He recounts stories of the struggles he endured, but he always manages to end his stories with a smile on his face. Times may have been difficult for Esteve, but he ca_n look back, laugh and say "See, I'm still smiling." This is the greatest lesson of my college career - the fact that despite all the difficult times and dark moments if you can smile in the end, everything is fine. So much for that which I have learned in college, for learning never ends ... understanding never ends. College is only one aspect of the countless amount of knowledge we will embrace in our lives. Learning is never to be taken lightly. In learning I hope to come closer to finding truth, understanding and love. Looking at truth, I give you a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. He says, "Truth is like a vast tree which yields more and more fruit the more you nurture it." Looking at understanding, I say only that it rests in us to realize and find our own real levels of understanding. Looking at love, I quote the Beatles from one of their songs, I think it came from Abbey Road. The line goes something like this. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the sum you make." I would imagine the same holds true for hate.

Thanks for the lessons and the memories I will begin with a story of my dear ' Grandmother who has been and continues to be a precious source of wisdom in my life. When I told her of my newly elected position as President of Metro Student Government last year she was shocked because it is rare that Arab women take on roles of leadership and even rarer for us to take on positions as public figures. She looked pleased and gave me one piece of advice. She said that you must be "lower'' now, meaning that I couldn't think of myself above anyone and to be humble. My vision of committing to a nonhierarchical leadership style was seen as a weakness by some people in SGA and on campus. But I never forgot what my Grandma had said to me and I must say how fortunate I was to have Metro and the students who voted for me provide opportunities such as SGA to act on my convictions.

You have opened the door for me From My Journey Now.

The METROPOLITAN

Look at all the great things I did As an activist at Auraria for the past six years, I want to take. this opportunity to thank the students. It is with great sadness (and joy), that I am graduating from Metro State. It has been a great time. In my time, I have had the opportunity to learn a lot, get TURN involved with a great organization, affect issues the students care about, make contacts, and make friends. I . Ajayi Harris _ learned a lot about politics and student activism here at Metro. I've won some campaigns and lost some. Also, I administrators, <!nd legislators, build formed my political ideology here, got coalitions, and work with people. One a great education, secured a job for time I was able to build a coalition with myself after graduation, and made a the College Republicans, Gay, Bi-Sexual Association, lot of allies. This letter is to give some Lesbian, MEChA, and CoPIRG, to work on advice to the students of Metro. voter registrations. It was a lot of fun. When I started at Metro in Fall Working with the College Republicans 1990 none of my friends were going to Metro. I was bored out of my mind, so again, CoPIRG, and Metro Activities I became involved with the student Council, brought James Watt, former group called CoPIRG. At the time we secretary of the interior, and· Paul were working on starting a campus Watson, a field organizer for Earth recycling program at Auraria. We did a First!, to campus for an Earth Day "dumpster dive," collected petitions, debate. Let's talk about change!

Another student, practically on his Working with CoPIRG, I learned own, lobbied the three schools and how to speak in public, organize a campaign, put public pressure · on Auraria to start a campus bus-pass

program. In one of the largest turnouts in campus history, over 4,000 students voted in that referendum. The referendum passed 3 to 1. When the students voted to buy the Tivoli, a limited number of students were there to represent the entire student body on the nvoli Planning Committee. They were there at the endless meetings to make sure the student voice was heard. There are many examples of student activism on this campus. The reason that I mention them is that the students need to be here, and need to get involved. Becoming involved helped me stay in school, helped me get a job, helped me make new friends and helped me make a real difference. Getting involved is a get way to find out what your major may be while in school. I know you have to work, I know about the kids you have to get to. I know about the "life" you want to have when not in school. I know you have to study. Students need to stop looking at their shoelaces when they walk around campus, and look up once in a while and get involved in something. Be an activist! Thanks to a great college and to the great students body of Metro.

Capitalism and democracy cannot co-exist In America it is becoming increasingly apparent that this society is quickly falling apart at the seams. More and more people are beginning to agree on less and less; as issues whether they be racial, social, religious, etc. have· been polarized to the extent that any meaningful dialogue as an effective tool of communication has been rendered obsolete. What once might have been perceived as respectful discourse has now been replaced ny labeling, castigation, denouncement and blatant marginalization of entire groups of people solely based on their beliefs and ways of doing things. At the core of these and other issues in America is what type or kind of society we are trying to build? It has been said that there is no period after democracy and no goal to achieve for it is an ongoing process. If democracy is to be defined then we must eradicate its biggest nemesis - capitalism. America poses an interesting paradox in that she is not only a young country - still in its infancy (relatively speaking). But also no other country has amassed so many problems in such a short time. This is unprecedented. One very obvious factor is the United States' inability to define herself is the conflicting message being sent"by the powers that be. The message being: "Do we want

to live in a capitalist or democratic state?" I respectfully submit to you that we do not and cannot live in both, for they are not one in the same, but two forces that are diametrically opposed to one another. Any logical study wm conclude that capitalism is a brutal economic system that exploits democracy. Do you live in a democracy when such artificial barriers as gerrymandering at large elections and the infamous electoral college exist? (Just to name a. few.) What exists in America is democracy in theory not any actual practice. As a consequence of only utilizing the theory, it has therefore opened the flood gate of an economic system which can only survive by feeding off what looks like a system, but in essence is destroying the moral fabric 'oi society. Adam Smith once observed that capitalism contains the seeds for its own de.struction because of its tendency to eliminate the competition. If America wants democracy in practice then it is imperative that capitalism be destroyed of the obsolete system that is has come to be. If theory is allowed to prevail then it is inevitable that America will continue down the path of self-destruction. Capitalism encourages competition for power but in actuality exacerbates internal tensions and conflict.

We now live in a society in which ethnicity and race has replaced citizenship for basis of statehood. The lack of power sharing by the dominate culture and unequal distribution of resources and wealth has made stability in a divided society based on one thing, which is that some form of domination and or violence will be employed to settle differences.

The only difference between them is that Black earned his rockstar stripes while Polonsky just hassled enough people that someone finally said, "fine you're a rock star."

hey stand out because they are tall and spotted, but their long reaching necks are what makes giraffes high above all other animals. Three students who were recognized for sticking their necks out for their causes or beliefs received the Giraffe award Monday afternoon. Metro students Donnita Li-lhan Kapuaalohaal'l Wong, Lisa Scott, and Louis A. Landa were all winners. The award caught Scott by surprise, "It's good that students recognize other students,"

said the first time winner. "It is special to me because I have tried to make things better in the year that I have been in stu, dent g ovemment," said Scott. Scott also added that a reason why she was nominated was because she took on issues that got emotions running. "People can see something in me," she said. "It affirms to me my work in trying to bring diverse opinions to the campus," said Wong who was nominated for a Giraffe award last year. "We are stuck in the college ways of thinking we loose sight," she added. "My willingness to become verbal after a death threat," said

Wong was a reason why she was nominated. During the award presentation Landa was not present. However, the Director of Student Publications Kate Lutrey had nice words for Landa, who is currently taking on twenty-five credit hours, along with working for the The Metropolitan newspaper. "This is one of the most special awards to me because Louis is not an ordinary Giraffe," said Lutrey. "Louis Landa has taught me a lot, he sees things differently," she added.

The METROPOLITAN

Rock the vote on the 'net Web pages encourage younger'" audiences to exercise civic duty Donna Hickey The METROPOLITAN

hile doing research on that final term paper on the web, stop by Rock the Vote's web page to find out where to register to vote, look into some issues or send your representative a letter. You won't see Madonna wrapped in a flag, but a huge finger pointing out from the page practically sticking you in the left eye, demanding you to "Act Now." This path has several forks in the road like "mail 'em" which provides assistance with sending a letter to your - -congressperson who has e-mail. It has issue focused letters to download for mailing to your representative or senator who doesn't have e-mail. This site is a great resource for those wanting to find out more about the issues that are being addressed by congress now and shattering myths about voting. "In the Know" takes you to links ranging from censorship to race issues. This is a great starting point for looking in-depth into the issues and identifying

the players. The education link has information from various sources like the Alliance to Save Student Aid. They found that last year congress considered cutting $4 billion to $14 billion from current student-aid programs. At the bottom of each page is a voter registration button or donation button. Voter registration outlines the basic tools to vote are must have a pulse, be over 18 and an American citizen, born or naturalized. The voting myths addressed are: no you won't be called in for jury duty, the IRS can't use it to track you down, depending on the state, convicted felons can vote and it is not necessary to be a member of a political party to vote, except if you want to vote in the state priiparies - most states only have party members to vote. "In the News" is another link they maintain that has information from a January New York Ttmes/CBS News Poll. The poll found that since January more young black from the south who make $15,000 a year have registered to

vote. There is also "On the Spot" where L.L. Cool J explains why it is important to vote. "I think young people should especially pay attention because the policy that is implemented when you 're 18 or 24 or 25 is the policy that's going to effect your children when your 37 and 45 and 50 and 60 and your grandchildren," he said. "The Lowdown" on Rock the Vote states they are dedicated to protecting freedom of speech, educating young people about issues that affect us, motivating young people to participate by registering, voting and specking out. An e-mail from enthusiastic teen named Cyper is posted on their "You Said It" letters page: "I wanna volunteer for ~ock the Vote. I know we can make the difference this year so tell me how can I be down? I can organize my homies and make them do stuff." A detailed response from a director was posted with his query. They respond

to the questions in a very simplistic yet detailed manner. "Inside" tells how the non-profit, non-partisan organization started in 1990 by members of the record industry as a reaction to attacks on freedom of speech like the Cincinnati museum owner who was arrested for showing Robert Mapplethorpe's work and Florida record store owner got into trouble _for 路selling 2Live Crew's music. The founding director of Rock the Vote Patrick Lippert, who died of AIDS related pneumonia in 1993, is remembered for bringing together entertainment and activism. His philosophy was that positive change is founded in democracy and young people are the future of that democracy.

Concert 'furious' From page 25

Pixie crowd. Polonsky is one of the stranger figures in the music scene right now. His new album titled Hi My Name Is Jonny Polonsky is a collection of . - - - - - - - pop tunes that may have gone by virtually unnoticed if there wasn't such a strange story behind his contract. Twentytwo-year-old Polonsky had a hobby of finding rock star's phone numbers and WIDE EYED: One calling them Polonsky made it by from his mother's Chicago-area home where he was living. Once he got a hold of these people he would pitch himself as the "Amazing Jonny Polonsky" and try to send them his demo tape which he recorded in his house. He ended up getting one of his tapes to Reeves Gabrels, a guitarist from David Bowie's short- lived band Ttn Machine, and Gabrels, in turn, ended up giving the tape to Frank Black.

Black apparently loved the tape and · Polonsky sent him the others he had made: I like Porn and I'll Blow It Out Yer Ass. Black eventually arranged to meet Polonsky. "I'll never forget the first time he came to my house," Black said. "He brought me two gifts-a book on astronomy and an autographed picture of himself signed "the Amazing J o n n y Polonsky!" This guy was born to be a man band Johnny rock star. hounding rock stars. Polonsky is literally a one man band. He wrote, recorded and played every last note on his debut album. Even though the bands were tight and the music furious, the crowd was young and tame. The "pit" in front of the stage was little more than a shoving match to jockey for a better view of the stage and the backward baseball caps and Greek-lettered T-shirts were notice ably abundant.

Tennis teams out of tournament Roadrunners make quick exit from conjerence Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The Metro tennis season wrapped up this week with a resounding win for both the men and women against Nmtheastern Junior College on April 23. The men defeated the Northe~tern team 6-0 with singles competition won in straight sets in all but the No. I game. Ben Pongpitoon and Steve Barlock stepped onto the team just in time for the last match of the season. Barlock's last appearance was in early March against Mesa State where he was defeated in straight sets, however, his saving grace in this match came when he stood in the No. 6 spot, as Northeastern defaulted that point for lack of a No. 6 player. Pongpitoon returned from last season for the last match of this season to blast Northeastern's No. 5 player Ray Jacobson with scores of 6-3, 6-1. This is a marked improvement over Pongpitoon's last season record of 0-12. The No . l player Buu Le beat Northeastern 's Jackson Latham in three sets, winning 6-7, 6-3, 6-4. Nathan Green claimed the No. 2 singles victory over Northeastern's Jamie Rutz, winning 6-1, 6-0. Metro's Cory Fischer dominated Jaymes Stevenson in the No. 3 position, hailing with scores of 6-0, 6- l. Northeastern's Jay Hl'.rris never even scored a game against the No. 4 Tony Gerome; Gerome won in straight sets of 6-0, 6-0. The men overtook Northeastern 6-0, upping their season record to a neareven 7-1 l. The Roadrunners hosted mixed doubles against Northeastern, coming up victorious in all four doubles competitions. In the No. I doubles spot, Metro No. I singles player Danielle Nelson teamed up with the No. 2 Green to crush Northeastern' s Latham and Heather Delgado, winning 8-4. No. 3 singles Fischer and No. 2 singles Lena Capra squeaked an 8-7 win over Northeastern's Stevenson and Tiffany Ballard in the No. 2 doubles spot. The regular No. 5 singles player Jamison Waldrop, who gave up his spot for Pongpitoon 's return, joined with No. 3 singles player Pipr Osborne to romp Northeastern's Rutz and Lisa Zweygardt for an 8-4 win in No. 3 doubles. Metro's Gerome and No. 4 singles Kirsten Stennes wrapped up the doubles play with an 8-2 win over Northeastem's Harris and Kerrie Jo Dykton. Stennes fell to Dykton in singles competition, however, marking the only loss for the Metro team against Northeastern. She lost in straight sets of 1-6, 1-6. The women dominated the rest of the singles competition in straight sets with the No. I Nelson over Delgado, winning 6-4, 6-1 and the No. 2 Capra beating Ballard 7-5, 6-4. Osborne also claimed a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Zweygardt in the No. 3 position. The Roadrunners also did not play in the No. 5 or No. 6 positions, however, the Northeastern team did not

comp~tition

University's Cheryl Hillan, winning 6-1, 6-0 and the No. 3 Osborne beat Regis' Kacey Callinan with scores of 7-5, 6-4. However, Osborne lost to Air Force's Yvonne Carrico in No. 3 singles competition with scores of 2-6, 4-6. Air Force also dominated the rest of the matches. One of the most successful Roadrunners, Nelson, ended the season with an even personal record of 8-8. Sileo said, "She is improving her strokes, but needs to work on her approach shots and net play to be able to close out points more effectively. This will help keep her mentally focused in her matches and will improve her confidence." Season-long, Nelson had mentioned with her weak mental game as reason for her struggling. One of the youngest women players, the sophomore Capra, strengthened her game continuously during the season. "Capra needs to improve her consistency on her serve and return of serve. She is approaching the net effectively, but could add more depth and spin to her approach," Sileo said. One of the most impressive men this 路season was Buu Le, Sileo said, "Le has improved his overall game dramatically." Sileo said that Le could benefit from improved upper-body strength, however, to "add zip to his first serve and more control on the volleys." He also would like to see some versatility in Le's forehand/backhand play, hitting the forehand with "more topspin and using more crosscourt angles." Essentially, Sileo said, "he needs some good, competitive tournament experience." Another young Roadrunner, the John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN freshman Green, is another strong player WHAT A RACKET: No. 1 singles player Buu Le, who led the men's to look for, according to Sileo. He said, team to a 7-11 record for the season, returns a forehand at a match "Green is determined to contribute to next last week. year's team." Sileo said that Green could win default points there. The two open The men gave up all of their matches in most benefit from improvements in conspots included the usual missing roster straight sets to the University of Denver, ditioning.

Baseball team out of playoffs Steve Reagan The METROPOLITAN

Any playoff hopes for the Metro -Baseball team were dashed this weekend as the Roadrunners lost three of four games to the University of Denver. Their record now stands at 11-30 overall, and 517 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. In game one, Metro's offense lit up the Pioneers for 21 runs. It was truly a team effort. Right fielder Donny Ortiz, first baseman Craig Leisge, third baseman Toby Tieman, catcher Pat Maxwell, and center fielder Brian Micciulli lead tre charge. Ortiz went five for six, including his first home run of the season, with two RBis and scored three runs. Leisge collected two hits, including his second home run of the season, five RBis and scored four runs. Maxwell hit two home runs, scored three times and had four RBis. Micciulli collected two hits, scored three runs and drove in one run. The best effort was put in by Toby Tieman. He hit three home runs with seven RBis and scored three runs. Metro starter Mark Shelly pitched a complete game while striking out 10 for his second victory of the season. Game two was all too familiar for the Roadrunners this season. The defense committed five errors in the 13-12 loss. Metro had a two-run lead heading into the

last inning, but could not close the door as DU scored twice to win in the bottom of the seyenth. Left fielder Jay Vean had three hits and three RBis. Starter Shawn Harpin did not pitch bad, giving up seven earned runs in five 1/3 innings. The bullpen failed to do its job and it cost the team a much needed victory. In game three the Metro offense was nowhere to be found. They managed only three runs on a whopping 13 hits. Pat Maxwell hit another home run, but it was too little too late as the Roadrunners lost 10-3.Metro left IO men on base. The final game produced the same result as many others this year. The defense committed five errors and lost 1814. In the four-game series Metro committed 14 errors. Of the 18 DU runs only four were earned. Again the Roadrunners left 10 men on base. Pat Maxwell continued his hot hitting by hitting his ninth home run, a team high. Maxwell had four bombs in the series. He also leads the team with 48 .RBis. The offense was not the problem as they collected 15 hits and 15 runs. Catcher Matt Burton had a great day by collecting three hits and four RBis. "We are struggling pretty bad right now. Some days we'll score a lot of runs then just give them right back, other days we have great pitching, but bad hitting," said center fielder Brian Micciulli. Metro plays a pair of doubleheaders this weekend against Colorado School of Mines at the Auraria baseball fields.

- Commentary -

Elway will never get a ring So the Denver Broncos gave John Elway a five-year contract that briefly made him the highest paid NFL player in history. One week later, the Miami Dolphins gave Dan Marino a bigger contract, dropping Elway to second. Both QB's are arguably among the best to have ever played the game. Both have set passing records and have been "The Man" for their respective teams. Both have played for old-school coaches and both are currently playing for newschool leaders who were brought in to do what neither quarterback has been able to do - win the Super Bowl. Elway has lost big in three Super Bowls and Marino in one. While both are respected around the league, questions about their ability to win the big game resurface every year. All that will change in the next three years. Both organizations have made a commitment to winning a Super Bowl in the remaining years of their aging stars' careers. One will succeed. The Miami Dolphins will win the 1998 Super Bowl. Not because Marino is better than Elway, though his statistics are better, Elway played for Dan Reeves, Mr. Conservative. Not because the Dolphins have a richer history or are a better organization.

A\i 0

No, the Dolphins will win because Jimmy Johnson will insist on it. It took him only five years to rebuild the Dallas Cowboys from nothing to backto-back champs. Johnson is a winner and he wastes no time creating a team in his image. He once cut a player outright for dozing in a team meeting. In Dallas he made more trades than Gordon Gecko and is a shrewd evaluator of talent. It is unfortunate that a player as gifted as Elway and who has meant more to his team than perhaps any one player has, will never win the big one. Under Mike Shanahan, the Broncos will likely go to and someday win the Super Bowl, it won't happen in Elway's career, however. The Dolphins are closer to championsh,ip material personnel-wise than the Broncos. Johnson will tinker with the roster through trades and likely put a contender on the field this season and should win it in his second year. Elway will toil for a few more seasons and will be a ~hoe-in for the Hall of Fame and will have a spot in the Ring of Fame at Mile High Stadium. What he will never have is a Super Bowl ring. Like his salary, second place will have to suit him. - Michael BeDan
