RTD and Auraria negotiate deal to drop mandatory fee from $15 to $12 or less by fall Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN As Auraria's bus-pass program enters its second year, RID announced it will reduce the cost of the passes from $15.41 to $12. 13 per semester - and that fee could plunge lower by next week. While the reduction in cost is a plus for students' wallets, results of a survey conducted by the Student Advisory
Committee to the Auraria Board have cast doubt on the popularity of the program. Since Auraria and the transit district are in the midst of negotiating the terms of the second and final year of the federally subsidized program, the poll will have some bearing on the talks. How much the survey findings will color the negotiations is being debated by Auraria administrators, SACAB and Metro's Student Government Assembly.
The SACAB/Student Government Survey for Spring 1996 indicated that 49 percent of Auraria students surveyed said they are not willing to pay a $15.41 student fee per semester for an RTD bus pass. Thirty-five percent said they are willing to pay the fee, and 15 percent said it does not matter. SACAB representative Amy Haimerl said the board will urge administrators to take the survey results into account while

negotiating this year's contract with RTD - even though the survey may be flawed. "When you get new information back you've got to weigh it," she said. "The question SACAB is asking is, 'Is a survey binding, or a vote binding?'" Haimerl said the survey results are not a clear reflection of the popularity of the program, which was favored heavily in a 0

Construction of the Auraria Library stairway will be completed this week after 11 months of compromise, on-and-off demolition and a cost of nearly $58,000, project manager Kathy McNally said last week. "We're keeping these," she said of the stairs most recent version. "We're satisfied with the results, and it's much better than it was before." Construction began in August of 1995 when the facilities-management division of the Auraria Higher Education Center determined that some safety and maintenance issues needed to be solved, McNally said. PCL Construction Services Inc., won the bid for the project. The top deck of the stairway had sloped toward the building over time. It caused snow and rainwater to drain toward the building, in addition to other problems, said Jim Fasano, director of construction and maintenance for Auraria. 'The metal strips on the stair noses (edges) deteriorated to the point where there was a tripping hazard," he said. In addition, the height and extension of the railings failed to meet American Disabilities Act requirements, McNally said. She said the concerns influenced discussion among representatives -from facilities and maintenance who made the decision to have the repairs done. The stairs have since been tom out and redone twice in the last year, McNally said. The first time, cracks formed within days of the pouring, possibly due to the high temperatures, she said. The balance also was altered with the change. -'They took off the wood forms, so the stairs looked wavy," she added. "When it came down to it, there were discussions as to whose problem it was, but on the whole, we were able to come to an agreement easily," she said. The See "Library" page 5

Parking fees to fund staff parking Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN
The Auraria Board unanimously approved a year-long parking experiment that would ease parking costs for some faculty and staff and potentially cost $39,000, to be funded from parking fees. Campus faculty and staff who qualify for special permits would pay for parking just once a day, even if they leave and reenter the parking Jot several times because of school-related business, according to the plan. The board, which oversees the physical structure of the campus, such as buildings and parking, approved the project June 10 as part of Auraria's $37.6 million budget for 1996-97. Although student representatives to the Auraria Board said they support the plan, Metro student government members have rejected it, saying the program is unfair when parking prices are expected to rise next year.

Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said after the meeting that he supports the plan in hopes that the faculty will support future student proposals. Males said he didn't have any specific plan in mind. But Males said he was concerned about abuse of the program and budget tricks that would secretly draw student dollars. "Things get hidden; things get massaged, and you don't know," Males said of Auraria's budget. Males, wh0se term expired following the meeting, said it was important for new SACAB members to watch the program to ensure students don't end up paying for it and that professors are using the program school-related business only. for Chitwood said Lot E - bordered by Walnut, 5th and 7th streets - provides inand-out parking for students but that it was difficult to estimate how much that program costs. He said it couldn't cost more than $35,000 to run. During a June 17 interview, Auraria staff director Dean Wolf said increasing parking space east of central classroom may be an alternative to the in-and-out parking program.

Bus-pass end debated From page 1 student election last year. · Haimerl said she questions the validity of the results because most of the 1,767 students surveyed attend University of Colorado-Denver or Metro, while only 19 percent are Community College of Denver students. Haimerl said that in last year's election, CCD had the most votes in favor of the bus pass program, with Metro corning in second. UCD students cast considerably fewer votes in support of the program -yet 41 percent of the respondents in the SACAB survey are UCO students. During the June 7 SGA meeting, Haimerl said the results also are under scrutiny because SACAB members are unsure about the wording in the survey. Since the survey asked, "Are you willing to pay a $15.41 student fee each semester for the RTD bus pass?" it is unclear whether students oppose the pass itself or the amount of the fee, Haimerl said. Regardless of the validity of the survey results, SACAB appears to be most interested in upholding the student vote, which would give a green light to the program for the next two semesters. SGA president Stephanie Stevenson, however, told the Metropolitan last week that she began attending SACAB meetings to see if its members were doing an adequate job of representing students on the bus pass and other issues. "I was very disturbed as to what I saw," Stevenson said. " I thought members of SACAB weren ' t acting in the best interest of the students." The Metro SGA recommended that Haimerl ask Auraria parking director Andy Chitwood, who is responsible for negotiating the RTD contract, to try to further reduce the cost of the program. SGA vice president Troy Griess, who said he is opposed to the program, wanted the SGA to approve a measure asking Chitwood to demand a lower fee or scrap the program altogether. "Maybe we should go in and demand $10.50 and play hardball," Griess said. "If RTD does not go to $10.50, we allow Andy to walk away from the table." Other Metro SGA members said they did not approve Griess' idea; instead, they asked Chitwood to work the fee down from the proposed $12.13, but to remain flexible and keep the program. Stevenson said the SGA upholds the original student vote but thinks the survey results indicate that many voters were not well-informed on the buspass issue. "I am not putting down the program," she said. "But I have a sneaking feeling this body would have never voted on this." Chitwood said he has no intention of nullifying the student vote in favor of the survey findings but will take the results to heart during the negotiations by trying to get the cost of the program down to appease those who oppose it. "If 49 percent of any group of people don't like something you better stand up and take notice," he said. The possibility of the program ending is minuscule, Chitwood said, adding that it would happen only at the request of RTD. Since RTD has come forward to offer a new contract - and a lower fee - Chitwood said he has the impression that the program is here to stay, at least for another year. "My sense of it is, if they (RTD) were unhappy they would be looking for a way to bail," he said. Chitwood said the reduced fee is possible because RTD did not have to purchase new buses and make other expenditures in order to accommodate increased ridership stemming from the program. He said the contract could be agreed on as soon as next week.

College web-page porn a no-no Student told to take photos down after complaint filed Brigett L. Camarena The METROPOLITAN
Inappropriate use of Metro's computer server via the internet has been a minor problem with students so far. All students have the privilege of an e-mail account. To gain access, they must sign the agreement of Appropriate Use of Computing and Network Facilities. This policy states the appropriate uses of the Internet and the individual's right to privacy. It also mentions the computer resources available for students, faculty and staff. The policy says that internet resources are provided to students as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. The policy also states the results of misuse: ''Those who misuse the Internet in any way will have their computing privileges suspended, and their cases will be referred to an appropriate authority on campus and a law enforcement agency." Those who put pornographic material on the Internet will have their_yriviIeges suspended and be reported to Metro's attorney. The information technology department also noted that if a student posts anything that another person finds offensive, the student could be asked to remove the material.
Parking fees could rise
So far only two complaints have been reported, said Marc Falkenhan, manager of the academic computing lab; one for pornographic pictures on a web page and the other -for e-mail harassment. "One student complained about two pages of pornographic pictures (posted) by a student," Falkenhan said. The other complaint involved two students running for student government office, he said. The student with the pornographic photos on his web page was asked to take the pictures off, and there were no
complaints thereafter, Falkenhan said. The students running for office complained about email harassment that occurred last semester and during student elections. One student said the other student went into his e-mail account and tampered with it, but there was no proof, and the complaint was dropped. Falkenhan said neither student followed through with the complaint. "There have been complaints of other people, but the (people who filed the) complaints didn't follow through," Metro attorney Scott Silzer said. The complaints were about using the school's server for commercial use, posting pornographic pictures and harassing e-mail from an individual. . Jay Martin, technical service manager at Metro, said that a student's personal e-mail account cannot be accessed by another person because it would violate the confidentiality ~ and privacy of an individual. However, if there is an investigation and the police have a subpoena, then, by law, Metro is required to tum over any e-mail messages on the account of the person being investigated. "All e-mail accounts are considered private," Martin said. "There is no way for someone to view that information." "The college does reserve the right to examine an account if there is an investigation and if there was a subpoena on the contents of the computer account," he said. In such a case, an informational technology employee assigned by Martin would extract the information from the school account under investigation, he said.

ating with RTD to get the $15 bus pass fee reduced to $12 and possibly even lower. Wolf said those negotiations will continue. Financial troubles became evident in February when Auraria had to refinance the student bond to stave off student fee increases. The first few pages of Auraria's 1996-97 budget detail the financial woes within the "auxiliary program budget," which is one of two major budget areas that include parking and student facilities. The auxiliary budget ca1ls for additional revenues and cites declining student enro1lment as a contributor to a $103,000 below revenue collected in 1993-94. Campus student population has steadily declined from 76,567 students in 1992-93 to 72,933 for 199596. "If student population continues its current slow growth and parking fees are not changed, the Parking Auxiliary will generate revenues that are $200,000 below projected need in FY (fiscal year) 97-98," according to the budget. Bustos, who has worked for Auraria for two years, said the news of his firing came as a complete surprise and that Wolf did not offer him another position. Bustos said he had a great relationship with Wolf and that "there was never any bad blood" between the two.
decision w.as made between AHEC and the company to go back and finish the job with no addition to the construction bill, she added. "We were trying to get an acceptable product with the contractor," McNally said. The project went back into action following the spring semester. Management tried to minimize campus disruption as much as possible, she said. However, the work crew used two jackhammers on the last day of demolition to try to finish up quickly, said Hazel Gonzalez, a library employee. "It was hard to hear people calling, and there was just dust all over," she said. "If you walked up to the counter, you could run your finger across the desk and see it. "I don't know what the problem was," Gonzalez said. "I just hope they don't have to do it again." The finishing-sealant application and cleaning will complete the project, McNally said. Discussions about the project resumed in early May, and the agreement was made to go back and complete the project. It was the first time AHEC has worked with PCL on a project, McNally said. PCL handles several large construction jobs throughout the Denver area, she added. The construction was funded with AHEC maintenance funds, apportioned from the operating budget of each school on Auraria. The operating budget is allocated to each school by the state legislature.

In question is whether Thornton received due process when he was assessed for a tenured position. According ·to Metro records, Thornton was hired in 1990 to be part of Metro's tenure track. In 1994, Thornton filed his tenure papers with the college to receive tenure with the accounting department. During February 1995, Metro President Sheila Kaplan officially denied Thornton's application without explanation. Sharon Baldwin, program assistant in Academic Affairs, said records show that for the 1996-97 school year 13 tenure applications were submitted, and I 0 of the applicants received tenure. Two of the three denied had the highest level of education possible for their respective areas of study.

Auraria's campus television station, ACTV, is looking for help after budget cuts handed down by the Auraria Higher Education Center eliminated the annual $20,000 funding for the student-run program.

om WELCOME TO THE DOLL BOOTH: Crystan Hunter and Karen Williams look at African dolls for sale by Rawane.Diagne. Songs of celebration called out Sunday in Five Points for Denver's 30th annual Juneteenth festival. Through gospel, festival-goers answered the African American slaves whose voices once rang out across rolling plantations, calling out for freedom. "In the old days, before they were freed from slavery, all they could do was sing spirituals because they were owned by their slave masters and that was the only release they had, said "Big Al" Richardson, a founder of the Juneteenth celebration in Denver. Gospel Fest was added to the festival this year, giving a religious element to the event that included live music, African American art work, clothing and many different choices of food. The booths lined W~lton Street from 25th to 28th street. Crowds were estimated at 60,000 for the event, which was held June 13 through Sunday. "We're here to celebrate the Juneteenth celebration," Rev. Willie Tyler said at the Gospel Fest. "... where the slaves down in Texas received communication that they were free. "I don't know about you, but I always knew I was free," he continued. "Back there on Calvary's crops, I found out I was free." 'This is the only African American celebration in the country that celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation," said

Lisa Peterson, executive director of the Five Points Business Association. Juneteenth is a Texas holiday, celebrated since June 19, 1865 when the announcement of freedom from slavery was delivered to Galveston, Texas, the first slaves to hear about it, Peterson said. The event was founded in Denver in 1966 by natives of Texas, including Richardson. Their main motivation was to recapture what was left at home, Richardson said. Black unity was the most important thing that Clinton Todson, 26, enjoyed about Juneteenth. Todson is a 1992 Metro graduate and wore a hat embroidered with his fraternity letters. He belongs to Alpha Phi Alpha, the first predominately African American fraternity in the country. The ethnic emphasis was what Cindy Eley, 45, of Denver said she would remember most about the festival. "It reminds me of Atlanta," said Cassandra Torrez, 19, of Aurora. " . . because of all the people coming together." Basil Williams, 36, of Aurora, said it's one of the only events besides the Black Arts Festival where African American heritage is celebrated in many ways. "You get to see many exhibits and there are so many African American things to buy at one place and one time here in Denver," he said.

Rocks roll for Metro athlete goes semi-pro the top .of the Johnson coaches semi-pro football after a successful National League Jake season in which he collected most valuable player honors -COMMENTARYA. Jeter The METROPOLITAN
It's a wild season in professional baseball, and the Rockies just want a piece of it. With the even records around the National League, hey, they've got as good of a chance as anyone. The major challengers for the top spot undoubtedly are the ever-resilient Atlanta Braves, who lead the league with the only noticeably winning record of 4326. With a heavy-hitting line up which is quarter full of .300 batters, the Tribe shows no signs of slowing down. So what if the Rocks linger around the No. 3 spot in the N.L. West? They've already started to pick up the pitching pace with the likes of the revamped Bryan Rekar. If the Rockies can ride that momentum and recover successfully from the loss of the injured Larry Wal ~er in center field, the Rockies could still get it together in time to give Colorado a nice surprise come playoff season. The No. I Los Angeles Dodgers and the No. 2 San Diego Padres are not out of reach, having only three and two wins more than the Rocks, respectively. If the Rockies pull another winning streak similar to that before the Montreal Expos took over, they could very well capture the West. Then, Colorado would only have to battle the Montreal machine a bit more strongly than they did earlier this week to advance to a showdown aga"inst the powerful Braves in the East. The N.L. Central should not pose a problem, as the Houston Astros are the only real contenders there, and the Rocks could easily take the brilliance out of their stars if they continue to come together and play hard-line baseball. Conceivably; competition for the N.L. crown could definitely include a Colorado/Atlanta matchup. Still, realistically, the ultimate prize of the World Series pennant will most likely be claimed by the American League. The A.L. teams are having winning seasons, evident in the Texas Rangers, the Cleveland Indians, the Chicago White Sox and ... the New York Yankees??? While the Braves hold the significant record for the N.L., the Indians boast the leading record in the majors at 44-24, just up on the Atlanta tribe. Chicago isn't far behind in the Centrals with a 41-27 standing - though they are caught in a nasty little losing streak - and Texas dominates the West with 42 wins, 27 losses. The Yanks are No. 3 in the A.L., but they're still up on Colorado, so the Rocks' chances of taking it all the way and earning Colorado its second major championship this year are slim to slimmer. But this game has been won with heart before, and the ~ockies See "Rockies" page 13
