In, out parking proposed Auraria Executive Council approves faculty parking, increasing rates Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN

While campus parking prices are going up, Auraria officials are advocating a $39,000 project that would make parking more convenient for faculty, Auraria's parking director said. The Auraria Executive Council - an advisory panel made up of the chief executives of Auraria's three colleges - approved a one-year pilot project in April that would allow faculty and staff in-and-out parking privileges beginning this fall. The nine-member Auraria Board will decide whether to give final approval of the project during upcoming Auraria Higher Education Center budget meetings, said Andrew Chitwood, director of parking. Chitwood, however, said the faculty parking project would be a money-loser. "It will cost us about $14,000 in expenditures and about $25,000 in lost revenue," Chitwood said. At the start of the fall semester, the daily parking prices in lot D, at Seventh Street and east-bound Auraria Parkway, will rise from $1.75 to $2.00. Chitwood estimated the 25-cent hike will generate nearly $12,000 in revenue to offset the costs of the project, reducing the total loss of funds to $27,000. Metro student representatives said they don't want students to pay increases that would be absorbed by faculty parking. Metro student Amy Haimerl, a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said the Auraria Executive Council had promised that "students would not be paying for faculty's in-and-out privileges in any way, that these lot prices were not going up to pay for faculty; so if they are, then the students and I have a very large concern with that." The Auraria Executive Council during a May 7 meet-

Dean Wolfe, Auraria executive vice president of administration, said the three institutions will establish criteria for the privileges. He said Metro has discussed the policy that a professor must be required to leave cam-

HILLARY-OUS: Clinton speaks to a crowd on campus in her "address to the children" at St. Cajetan's Center May 22.

Nearly 300 people gathered at St. Cajetan's Center May 22 to see first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Gov. Roy Romer speak to a panel of children about issues that stifle youth in today's society. Clinton called it an "address to the children ." During the two-hour round-table discussion, Clinton said she visited the Auraria Campus to understand where children's problems lie and what adults can do for those who are troubled. "We need to recommit ourselves to (children's) well-being," Clinton said,

Campus comments on Unconstitutional Supreme Court ruling "Ce ebra6.0~ Most claim victory for civil rights; College Republicans miffed Matthew Lilley The

METROPOLITAN

On May 20, the U.S. Supreme- Court ruled the controversial Amendment 2 unconstitutional. At the Auraria campus, as with the rest of the nation, reaction is mixed. Some people don't care. Some people see it as just another indicator that this country is headed in the wrong direction. And others see it as a victory for civil rights. Amendment 2, approved by Colorado voters in November of 1992, would have banned current and future civil-rights protection for gays, lesbians and bisexuals. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled the amendment unconstitutional in 1994. The U.S. Supreme Court opinion quoted from the Colorado decision, which said Amendment 2 would repeal Metro's policy of prohibiting college-sponsored social clubs from discrimination based on sexual orientation. For this reason, Metro "certainly applauds" the decision, said Bob Brock, assistant vice president of communications at Metro. He said Metro has had a nondiscrimination policy for years. The opinion was delivered by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Conner, David Souter, Ruth Ginsburg and Steven Breyer. Justice Antonin Scalia filed the dissenting opinion, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas and Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Donnita Wong, a 1996 Metro graduate and Fonner president of the Metro Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance, said she was pleased that Amendment 2 was

overturned. She said she always felt that the amendment was misrepresented by the term "special rights." Wong said the language of Amendment 2 singled out gays, lesbians and bisexuals, instead of using a broader term, such as sexual orientation. Amendment 2 took away basic civil rights, Wong said. She added that under the amendment, gays, lesbians and bisexuals would have no legal means to fight discrimination based on their sexual orientation. "Even with the overturning of Amendment 2, the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual) community has not seen an end to the attacks on (their) civil rights," Wong said. James Martinez of the Metro College Republicans said that Colorado Attorney General Gale Norton "did a horrible job" of representing Colorado in front of the Supreme Court and the "other side did a great job of representing the homosexual community." Martinez said he believes that the overturning of Amendment 2 will have a "trickle-down effect of people getting special rights." He added that "we all have the same rights under the constitution." Martinez said that programs such as affirmative action are no longer needed, adding that people "should be rewarded for their merits, not for race or color - or sexual preference." Martinez said he was shocked that conservative justice Sandra Day O'Conner voted to overturn the amendment. Thomas Muenzberg, director of the Student Finance Resource Center, said the Supreme Court decision represents a great victory, not only for gay, lesbian and bisexual students at Metro but also the entire state of Colorado. Muenzberg said the decision "gives hope to other gays and lesbians in other states (such as Montana and Utah) fighting

Grocery strike hinders students Metro student gives up summer session to work picket lines Jesse Stephenson The

METROPOLITAN

While Denver's two main grocers and their 16,000 employees engage in an increasingly bitter conflict over a new contract, many Auraria students are feeling the aftershocks of the dispute. On May 13, Metro area King Soopers workers walked off the job and onto the picket lines. The next morning, Safeway, which joined King Soopers in negotiating the union workers' contract, locked its employees out, initiating the largest combination strike and lockout in Colorado history. For some, such as 21-year-old Azucena Carrera, a Community College of Denver student who is a booth clerk at the Safeway on Sixth Avenue and Corona Street, the lockout means walking a picket line instead of attending college. 'Tm not going to be able to go to school this summer," said Carrera, who has worked at the store for three years. "I can't believe they locked me out after I've done so much for the company, like staying late and coming in on my day off." Jenny Raid, a Metro fine-arts major who works at the Esquire theater near Carrera's store, said she fully supports the union picketers, but it's expensive to go to non-union stores in the neighborhood. "I have to spend more money because I have to go to Alfalfa's," she said. Regardless of being charged higher prices for her groceries, Raid said she'll continue to honor the picket line because she kno~s many of those who work at the nearby grocery stores. "I have to side with the people at Safeway and King's," she said. "I can relate to them more than the management."

Hyoung Chang/The METROPOLITAN

UNIONIZED: Union workers, refusing to give their names at their union's suggestion, picket in front of Safeway at Downing and Evans. The strike is into its third week. Though Raid and many others at Auraria expressed concern for the picketers, several students said they take issue with the union strikers and will continue to shop at Safeway and King Soopers. Roger Johnson, a recently graduated UCD student with a degree in economics, said he disagrees with the principle of collective bargaining and won't support the grocery workers' strike. "I wouldn't join a unio.n because I'd rather be paid commensurate to my own productivity," he said, adding that people should be responsible for negotiating their own wages. Johnson, who continues to shop at the King Soopers at 32nd Avenue and Youngfield Street, said he hasn' t had any

confrontations with the striking employees, but a friend whose mother works for King's questioned his stance. "Once I explained my position, he didn't pursue it, "Johnson said. Although Johnson takes an ideological approach to the strike, others say it's a matter of convenience. Hannah Cheung, a Metro student who works at the Auraria Book Store, said it's easier to buy groceries at a nearby King Soopers than to look for an alternative store, since she recently moved into her neighborhood. She said she's had no problem crossing the picket lines. "I walk right in; they don't give me any trouble," Cheung said. Keith Pokryfyke, a Metro computer-

From page 3 pus four times a month for professional responsibilities in order to qualify for the in-and-out status. 'This won't be so they can go out for lunch," Wolfe said. Wolfe said the in-and-out parking privileges were being discussed for SACAB also but that nothing would be definite until data gathered from the program this summer was evaluated. Lot E, at Walnut and Seventh streets, already has an established in-and-out program for students. Metro Student Government Assembly President Stephanie Stevenson expressed concern about the faculty parking privileges and focreased parking costs. "All the documentation I have looked at does not substantiate a parking increase," Stephenson said. "They keep telling us we need more revenue... obviously, we're losing money with the faculty parking plan." Metro's SGA issued a statement rejecting the plan and denouncing the Auraria Higher Education Committee for "blatant disregard by

the same battle." Muenzberg called Amendment 2 "hate legislation" and said it was designed to take away basic rights. "I would hate to see anyone apathetic towards civil rights. It would be a d-angerous state of mind for this country," Muenzberg said in reaction to the indifference of some individuals. Julie Wendt, a freshman at UCD, said, 'This country was founded upon majority rule, and the turnover of Amendment 2 shows that democracy in our country is no longer a factor in determining the course of political events." Wendt said homosexuals "have the same rights as everyone else under the Constitution." John Saiz, a freshman and Metro vice president of academic affairs, said people don't need special rights; they just need to exercise their civil rights.

information-systems major, has a different view on crossing the picket Lines. He said he probably won't shop at King Soopers or Safeway because he wants to avoid an ugly scene with the union employees but is skeptical that the picketers have a worthy cause. "I would be hesitant to go in; it would be just as easy to go to a gas station," Pokryfyke said. "I think the strike is stupid, but it's the pressure - you don't want people yelling at you." For Marilyn Cooper, a Metro sociology major, the strike and lockout represent a larger economic problem. "Since the unions have lost their power, the workers' wages have gone down. The '90s are beginning to look like the turn of the century, where the rich are very rich and the poor are very poor," she said. "I won't cross the picket line, no matter what, because I support the union." Although student opinions on the situation range from heavy support of the union to absolute resentment, few have escaped having to take a stance. For Carl Milner, a book-store employee and Metro student, necessity and ideology were at odds. Milner supports the union but crossed the picket line for one item. "If I were going to do major shopping, I wouldn't go there," he said. Like Milner, a Metro administrative assistant who declined to be identified supports the idea of a strike, but necessity requires that she continue to do minimal shopping there. She said she'll keep getting her prescriptions at King Soopers because she needs seven to 10 medications per month. " I'll probably go to Cub Foods except for my medicine," she said. "I'm not_ going to transfer all that information."

AHEC management to hear students' input regarding decision-making for Auraria facilities." Chitwood said parking hikes ranging from 50 cents to a dollar for some lots are in the works for next year. Those raised rates are expected to compensate for increased operating costs and loss of generated parking revenue in other lots. "What we decided to do was to say, 'OK, we are only going to raise the rate in one lot, and we are not going to raise them in any other, and we will make the larger increase next year through the various groups,"' Chitwood said. In other parking matters, Chitwood said be is working on negotiations with representatives of the soon-to-be-built Pepsi Center sports arena. Chitwood said talks include the possibility of leasing lot B, at Seventh Street and westbound Auraria Parkway, and allowing Pepsi center parking at the north end of lot E. Chitwood said talks are just beginning and that he hasn't yet scheduled any future meetings with Pepsi Center officials. 'They are spending most of their energy talking with the city," Chitwood said.

Amend 2 scare yoU? To MSCD Student Government, I was present at the Auraria Amendment 2 Rally on Tuesday, April 21. I was proud to be part of a campus-wide celebration of the striking down of an amendment that targeted many but benefited none. Conspicuously absent was any representative from Metro's Student Government. Did I miss something in your platform that said you would only support specific students and specific positions? I was under the impression

that you are elected, and paid, to represent us all. I would expect you to have personal opinions. However, when you decided to represent the entire student body, you should have considered if you could put those opinions aside. This was a high-profile event in the new government's term regarding issues that concern and affect students on this campus. Is non-attendance an example of things to come? Aren't you getting paid, and parking for free, out of my student fees? I paid

to park that day. I understand that it is between semesters, and it may not have been convenient to ·attend. But being discriminated against is not very convenient either. Surely, at least one representative could have found the time, perhaps the V.P. of Diversity? I expect Student Government presence in the future.

Political flyer fighters Dear Editor, As we all know, this is an election year. This is a great opportunity for people to get involved in the democratic process, which is so highly valued in this country. It is extremely important for we, the people, to voice our opinions on this country by using our votes, selecting people of like minds to ourselves to hold public office. An essential part of this process is for the candidates and their volunteers to disseminate as much information about the candidates as possible. Coincidentally, it is also important that all persons find a candidate who closely holds to their views and support them publicly by volunteering themselves ·to the process. I would like to encourage all people to become active in the political process; however, when you do, please do it right. It is essential that all viewpoints be represented and no person should directly interfere with another campaign. Not only would doing so be a direct violation of the dearest civil right afforded to each citizen, the First Amendment, it is also a violation of federal election law to interfere with another campaign. More importantiy, the elitism involved with these unethical actions is a slap in the face to the democratic process. I would like to say that in the paragon of free speech, our colleges and universities, this would not be a problem; however, such is not the case. During the morning of April 24th, I attached flyers requesting volunteers to the Joe Rogers campaign for the U.S. Congress, as he wishes to become the next representative for the 1st Congressional District. For those who are not aware, the 1st Congressional District encompasses the city and county of Denver, with some outlying areas. For further explanation, this is the seat in Congress currently held by the retiring Rep. Patricia Schroeder, a Democrat. Anyway, I was able to a~ix a flyer I made calling

for support for Mr. Rogers to several bulletin boards throughout the campus, mostly the North, West, and Central classroom areas. Sometime on the 24th of April, or the early morning of the 25th, someone proceeded to tear down most of these flyers. Additionally, in at least one instance, a flyer promoting Mr. Roger's main competitor, Diana DeGette, was then attached in its place. Again, this is a direct violation of free speech and expression as stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, this heinous action may also be a violation of several federal election laws. At any rate, this is clearly an attempt at political censorship. I would hate to think of the implications if this incorrigible act was performed by members of the Democratic party. One most wonder why this person, or persons, would do such a thing? Why would they attempt to keep Joe Roger's campaign in the dark, hidden from the many students attending the three schools on the Auraria Campus? Is it because he is a black man? Or is it because he is a Republican? Or is it both? Many people cannot fathom an African-American joining the Republican party, as Joe had done several years ago, having worked for Sen. Hank Brown for several years. At any rate, could this be a form of racial discrimination, usually reserved for charges against conservatives? It is truly a sorry day in this nation's history when an individual would attempt to limit other people's access to the political debate by such a terrible injustice. I call upon all people of any political leaning to stop such further fascist control of the debate from happening. Very Respectfully, Theodore W. Sell

Incite change-speak up Dear Editor, As a graduating senior who has spoken publicly about campus issues, I'd like to leave you with the charge to Speak Up! MSCD is your school. Your money and well-being are involved. Your grades are at stake. The best thing you can do is communicate. I know, trust me. It you're being harassed, let the perpetrator know you don't like it. A fierce glare will do. If you're being abused by a professor, write a letter, and give a copy

to the professor's boss. Make sure that both receive your letter simultaneously. That will bring the issue into the open and prevent any denial or cover-ups. Usually the problem will be solved on that level. But if not, there are other options. In example, I found the campus police most helpful. If department policies seem to be working against the students, indicate what you need changed and why. Tell both the department and the student government If a grade seems unfair, and you know you did as instructed, file a

grievance. A polite letter works wonders. If the professor's style of running the class seems hannful, discuss that or write a letter. A change will be made if it would be fair. If it's a discussion/lecture class, participate to the best of your ability and be supportive of your classmates in their participation, too. Remember the First Amendment is in your favor•

"NOBODY KNOWS YOU": An oil painting from Bearden's ".The Passion of Christ Series,'' which was first shown in October 1945 and established Bearden as one of the premier abstract expressionists of the 20th century.

etro's Center for the Visual Arts is honoring the late Romare Bearden's print work in "Romare Bearden: A Graphic Odyssey." Often cited as one of the greatest African-American artists, Romare Bearden used a variety of techniques to merge art, cultural heritage, and social commentary. His diverse life experiences and travels helped develop his personal and unique style. Bearden was born in 1912, in Charlotte, N.C. His academic background was diverse. He studied at the University

of Pittsburgh and Boston University, where he was a semi-pro baseball pitcher with the Boston Tigers. A mathematics major during his undergraduate collegiate career, he began sketching cartoons for the AfroAmerican, a weekly school newspaper. From 1936 to 1942 Bearden advanced his artistic endeavors while employed as a full-time case worker for the New York City Department of Welfare, assigned to the men's division of the Harlem office. At the time, he worked in the Social Realist style using the subject of the African-American social genre,

WEEKEND WARRIORS: (clockwise from left) David Russell, Josh Rubio, John Ordway, Steven Tangedal, Justin Adcock, Brad Ramsey, and Scott Blackburn star in 'L!V!C!'

Clever 'L!V!C!' makes Western debut in Denver Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN Timing is everything. Theatre on Broadway has picked the perfect time to present its run of "Love! Valour! Compassion!," a play written by Terrence McNally. "L!V!C!" is the story of eight gay men who gather at a house in upstate New York for three holiday weekends during the summer. During these weekends they deal with love, relationships, infidelity, loneliness, rivalry and dying. It earned McNally a Tony Award for Best Play in 1995. This production marks the play's first appearance in the western United States and comes on the heels of the Supreme Court's decision to strike Colorado's controversial down Amendment 2. It is the perfect timing of the actors that makes this play so extraordinary. It begins with just seven of the men gathering. There are three couples: Perry

and Arthur, a lawyer and accountant who have been together 14 years; Bobby and Gregory, a May-December romance in its early stages; and John and Ramon, two men who seem to be together not for love, but because they just happened. The only member without anyone is Buzz, who is living with AIDS. Buzz (Brad Hauser) is the most flamboyant of the group, a musical buff who is never without a sarcastic, but goodnatured, remark for almost every situation - even his own lack of a mate and his failing health. Buzz is the sanest of the group, the one who seems to have the most intelligent outlook on life and the situations the men fac.e. Buzz's wisdom, and the pain of his own situation, are reflected is his fast-flying wisecracks. Many of the barbs make the audience laugh, but the remarks force them to think. Hauser's comic timing is impeccable, and he is astonishing at bringing out his character's Continued page 10

From page9 humor and sorrow. Buzz is the glue that holds together the group of constantly clashing personalities. Another exceptional performer is David Russell, who plays John Jeckyll and his twin brother James, who doesn't join the group until the second gathering. John and James are exact opposites. John has a bit of an evil str.eak. He is selfish and uncaring, delivering the barbs as fast as Buzz but with intent to hurt. He derives pleasure from reading the personal journals of people and learning their secrets. Russell is sensational at bringing out John's coldness. He pulls a brilliant 180degree turn in portraying James, who also

has AIDS and is in a serious state of decline. Russell's best moment is when the two brothers, enemies most of their lives, meet to talk about their conflict. It is a very touching moment, which shows the real love the brothers have for each other and John's unhappiness with who he is. Rounding out the cast is Perry (Justin Adcock), a lawyer with a dark view of the world around him; his husband, Arthur (Steve Tangedal), an accountant who is one of the more level-headed characters and has a high tolerance for Perry's pessimism; Gregory (John Ordway), a dancer trying to deal with the problems of aging and find some stability in his relationship with Bobby (Scott Blackburn); and finally

there is John's boyfriend, Ramon (Josh Rubio), a cocky but skilled dancer with a hyper sex-drive, a belief that he is invincible and the attitude that the world is his. McNally's play is smart and sensitive. He does an excellent job of presenting common problems that everyone faces and does it in a way that is not overwhelming. This touching, well-written play lets the audience laugh at the happy moments and forces them to experience and deal with the quandaries of the characters. Nicholas Sugar, who co-directed "subUrbia," does a fantastic job balancing the play's jumps from the present to the characters' thoughts and flashbacks. The play's movement is very fluid and easy to grasp.

METROPOLITAN

This year in Metro athletics was the kind to make one laugh and cry - mostly cry - as the majority of Metro's teams endured mediocre seasons. However, some shining moments for women's basketball, men's tennis and some nationaltitle-garnering swimmers proved to be diamonds in the rough for Metro athletics. Well, fans, here is a look into the year in sports - buckle up, it's a wild ride.

Collegiate Athletic Association Division II for women's college basketball. She is the first Metro basketball player to receive the honor. However, Edwards was no stranger to the All-American circuit, as she was voted first team All-American in 1993-94 at Panhandle State University. Edwards also set the school record for the most points scored per game twice this season-once on Dec. l against Johnson C. Smith University when she collected 37 points and again on Jan. 18 when she racked up an impressive 39 points against University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

Women's Basketball The Roadrunners went into the season expecting to build on a third overall title in three years and to garner their second straight Colorado Athletic Conference title. The women finished second in the CAC at the end of the regular season with a 10-2 record. This ranking matched Metro up with longtime rival University of Denver for CAC Final play. The team was successful in capturing the CAC title from DU with a sound romping at the DU Fieldhouse; Metro won 76-58. The accomplishment marked the last-ever CAC title, and Metro will join the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference next season. Major contributors to the team's John McDonoughrfhe METROPOLITAN success included its five starting players: SWEET VICTORY: Metro's Chalae Collard dons the four veterans and one net with Amy Freeman as Metro wins the Colorado transfer.

bined with the pressure of a high ranking. The team died and finished 7-3-2 in the CAC and 11-7-2 overal I. Coach Ed Montojo hoped at the 1995 season start that a more balanced attack and experienced team would help it to achieve consistency in performance and a better record. He said the third-place finish was the worst the team had ever done. At the end of the 1995 campaign, that third-place ranking sure was looking good as the team dragged to the season finale with a record of 1-9-2 in the CAC and 2-13-2 overall. The Roadrunners opened the season with a void left by stellar players, including Rosie Durbin, who led Metro in sc-0ring (17 goals), assists (6) and points (40). The team also lost seniors Jesse Montoya and Chrissy McCain, as well as Deborah Sapashe, whose knees told her it was time to quit, and Melissa Villani whom Montojo described as an "academic casualty." The drastic loss of experience called for 11 bright new faces, led by Tracy Mayes, a forward/midfielder who looked like a grand scoring possibility. The 1994 season ended with a No. 2 ranking in the CAC in goal scoring (2.4 per Andy Crossffhe METROPOLITAN game) and a third-place spot . • in goals allowed (1.48 per LOOK OUT: Metro soccer player Philhp game).

Metro stuggles to perform in the athletic arena From page 12 more effective. He is looking for someone to replace her up the middle and hopes for good off-season recruiting all around. •

Men's Soccer Not only did the Roadrunners start out with a young team, Metro also gained a new coach in 25-year-old Brian Crookham, who took over the soccer program in March 1995 from three-year-veteran Al Ashton. The team held 19 new players at the start of the 1995 season, comprised of I 0 freshmen and 11 sophomores. Crookham delved into some heavy recruiting to put the team together in an effort to improve upon 1994's losing record of7-l3. That team allowed 63 goals and scored only 26, allowing an average of three goals per game (the worst record in the CAC) and scoring balanced out at a mediocre l .3 per game. Metro's starting goaltender, Larry Sersante, held the worst defending record in the CAC, giving up 2.94 goals per game. However, he made 174 saves - the third best in the conference, which clearly denoted poor defense on the Roadrunners' part. This is evident in the fact that Sersante faced 346 shots of 374 faced by the team. Sersante still started for the 1995 squad. The team returned all of its primary goal scorers with good forward talent. Crookham also said that this year's team was much more disciplined than last year's squad, hoping that it would help them in their matches. At season's start the CAC coaches' poll placed Metro to finish fifth, while Crookham had much higher expectations for the team, hoping for at least a topthree finish . In reality, the team's dreams began to crumble with a season-ending injury to star goaltender Sersante that forced Crookham to depend on inexperienced goalies for most of the season. The team rolled to a slow 5-15 overall finish and a 3-11 CAC ranking. Crookham believes the team will be a hot ticket next season, with the young team having gathered a little experience under its belt and the chance to build with core players.

Baseball

Fourth-year coach Vince Porreca came into the new year looking for the first winning season since becoming head coach. Well, not this year. Metro baseball finished the season with an utterly indescribable 1130 record overall and a 5-17 record in the RMAC. The team had counted on many returners to provide experience and leadership to the program, with 14 underclassmen joining the ranks. However, this just didn't happen for the Roadrunners. Instead, the team endured gruesome losing

streaks, such as the seven-straight whopper over spring break. The team attributed some of the struggles to the challenge of placement in the new RMAC. However, past record indicate that the conference switch made little difference, as the team finished even lower than last season's mediocre showing of 21-26 overall and I 016 in the old CAC. Countless losing seasons in a row - too bad the Roadrunners couldn't get a bit more playoff action (Metro was booted out of the playoffs by DU, who killed the team in three of four attempts). Or, perhaps, winning just a few more games to make the winning side weigh more than the losing side. Perhaps some intensive summer training and practices could be in order or something. This team lost 30 games-THIRTY! If this kind of performance persists, mcoauylbde drethses upteami ·n ROCKET MAN:

an excellent driving force for the team. The men, and the women for that matter, have experienced breaks in their mental games, but players like Green could lead the team into a new state of mind - one ~at produces winning seasons. Also, the Fischer/Gerome doubles combination was a smart move this season, as their games complement each other like southern apple

player Danielle Nelson, who dominated much of the season, but even she claimed her mental game was off - mainly due to playing on an incomplete squad. Another player to watch is No. 3 Pipr Osborne, who gained strength throughout the season, as well as No. 5 Brandi Clemons. If the women can gather a full, strong unit and improve upon their aggressive games, there is no reason they cannot regain their past winning records.

Swimming

Metro swimming endured a somewhat bland year as a team. Many of the swimmers excelled individually but could not come together as a team against such dominating rivals as DU and the Colorado School of Mines. The team needs to gain numbers in order to compete effectively. Perhaps the younger swimmers can come up and fill the large voids left by Tori Ainlay and the astounding five-year giant Darwin John McDonough!The METROPOLITAN Strickland.
