Personal injury next step in suit Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

I.â&#x20AC;˘

A federal jury awarded former Metro accounting professor Phillip Thornton over $250,000 in back pay and damages Friday in a tenure discrimination lawsuit against the school - but the case is not over yet. Thornton's lawyer, Paul Baca, said he is preparing to go after personal damages from Metro President Sheila Kaplan and other defendants named in the suit. "I'm trying to get it filed by the end of next week; whether I meet that remains to be seen," Baca said. Baca said he wants to get the go-ahead to sue Joan Foster, dean of letters, arts and sciences; Michael Brown, associate dean of business; Larry Lombard of the accounting department, Nancy Frontczak of the marketing department, David Skougstad of Metro's academic accounting department anc1 Virginia Parker, accounting chairwoman. Judge Alan B. Johnson rejected Thornton's previous request to sue individuals for damages last spring but left Baca free to appeal the ruling.

Should Johnson overturn his decision and rule that the defendants owe Thornton more damages, Kaplan and the other Metro administrators would have to pay out of their own pockets. Kaplan did not respond to phone calls regarding the case. The groundwork for the suit was laid in late summer 1994 when Thornton complained to Percy Moorehouse, Metro's director of equal opportunity, that Parker had discriminated against Gary Ames, an applicant for a teaching job and a friend of Thornton, because he was Mormon. Baca said Thornton's pursuit of the matter angered Parker to the point that she made sure the professor's career at the college was finished. In a letter to the School of Business Tenure and Promotion Committee, Parker wrote that Thornton, who worked at Metro from 1990 until May of 1996, caused disastrous rifts within her department and did not respect her chairmanship. The jury, comprised of seven men and one woman, ruled that Metro rejected Thornton's application for

tenure out of retaliation, not because he was inept, as the defense claimed. After deliberating six hours, jurors ordered Metro to pay Thornton $250,000 for emotional damages, $11,730 in back pay, and his attorney fees and court costs. A Sept. 18 hearing will determine whether Thornton will get his job back, with tenure, in Metro's accounting department. During that hearing, the court will determine how much Metro owes Thornton in attorney fees and other costs. Metro attorney Scott Silzer, who helped do background work for the defense, said the college is considering an appeal but refused to make further comment on the case because it is still pending. He added that he is uncertain if Risk Management, Metro's legal insurance company, will foot the bill for the suit. Risk Management is still assessing the case. Baca said the college made previous attempts to settle the case, including a $100,000 offer this spring. He refused to discuss the other offers but said he will try to win his client compensation for future salary loss if the judge decides not to grant Thornton tenure.

Illegally parked bikes booted New bike policy doles out fines for unlawful parking Henri Brickey The METROPOLITAN

....

Auraria will impound bicycles not locked in designated bike racks beginning Sept. 16. Due to bike theft becoming the most commonly reported crime on campus, damage to trees as a result of bikes, and the impediment of handicap and pedestrian walkways, students will no longer be able to lock their bikes to trees, railings, signs, lampposts or any structure other than a bike rack. Any bike found locked in any of the undesignated areas will have a lock attached to it that will be removed only after a fine has been paid. Each building on campus has designated bike racks that will hold at least up to 20 bicycles. There are also bike racks in various common areas throughout the campus, such as next

to the library and the Tivoli. "This will allow officers to keep a better eye on bikes," said Sgt. Kelly Casias of Auraria Campus Police. Currently, some of the bike racks offered are not even being used, Casias said. "It is easier to patrol one designated area." The amount of the fine has not been detc;rmined yet, but Casias estimated it would range from $10 to $15. Some Auraria students are disturbed by the possibility of having their bikes impounded then paying a mandatory fee to get them back. "Students are already paying too much money for them to be impounding our bikes," Metro student Erin Sullivan said. There needs to be more bike racks placed closer to the classes, Sullivan added. Metro student Jeremy Boston said if a pathway is being blocked, then the bike should be moved. He argues, however, that in most cases impounding is extreme. Other colleges in Colorado have the same policy, -and Auraria had considered implementing the policy for a long time. Flyers will be posted around campus to notify students of the change.

LOCKDOWN: Owners of bikes like this one - locked in front of the Science building Wednesday - could face ticketing and fines in the near future.

Student runs for seat Flood waters hit Metro student in Arapahoe County race A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

,I_

Disillusioned with what he calls political inaction by Colorado's elected officials, Metro student William Lindsey has decided to do something about it. He is running to join them. Lindsey, 29, is a Republican candidate in the newly created District 5 Arapahoe County commissioner seat in north Aurora. On his way to a Boy Scout group meeting, Lindsey, a scout master, stopped to discuss why an average Metro night student like himself should be the first District 5 commissioner. "I got tired of the politics," Lindsey said, "So, I thought I better do something about it." Lindsey, a junior, will take a break from his pre-Jaw studies to run his campaign through Election Day in November. He said he probably will go back to school next summer or fall. "It's impossible to run for an office like this and go to school," Lindsey said. Lindsey said he will attend night school to work around his commissioner's schedule if he is elected. Lindsey won the Republican slot on the November ballot in the Aug. 13 prima- . ry election, beating out four-time political candidate Ed Quick. Lindsey has worked for the government for five years but has never held public office. He admits the race has been far more

STUDENT POLITICO: William Lindsey is fitting his campaign in between work and classes. work than he bargained. "Sometimes I ask myself, 'What am I getting myself into?"' He said his wife supports him and his effort, however, and even organizes campaign volunteers. "There would be no way in the world I could do this without her support," Lindsey said. A backbone issue to Lindsey's platform , as is common with many Republican platforms, is government efficiency. See CANDIDATE page 6

A storm dumped more than an inch of rain in an hour Aug~ 22, submerging parts of the Tivoli under inches of rushing water. Allhough the damage was minimal, Jeff Stamper, Assistant Director of the T_ivoli Student Union, said it would cost $15,000 to prevent such flooding in the future. However, he said those funds are not available. The intersection of Seventh Street and Auraria Parkway became a lake, dotted with islands of cars, stalled in the rising water, their hazard lights beacons illuminating the gray sky. Moviegoers left the the Tivoli 12 theater complex and trudged through rushing water - up to six inches deep in places - to return to their cars. Tivoli mainlenance workers used sandbags to block a temporary waterfall gushing into the student union, near the Tivoli Brewery. Nonetheless, a torrent of water cascaded down lhe stairs and over the sandbags, sweeping through the west end of the building's first level. The water was ankle- deep in places. Twenty-four hours and several mops later, all evidence of the flooding was gone. Only the disabled elevator and wet carpet remained as reminders to the previous day's downpour. The Auraria B'ook Center, which

suffered $5,000 in damages from a storm two years ago, had only wet carpet to incon"enience the rush of studenls purchasing textbooks. Gretchen Minny, director of the ABC, said bookstore employees helped protect the store from the elements, moving books from the damaging water and outside attempting to block more watedrom seeping in. "Everybody who wasn't at a cash register was out there," she said. Ed Schlichenmayer, assistant director of the ABC, credited a plan developed by Tivoli management after the last flood with preventing further damages. Schlichenmayer said there was a faster response with the pumps. Fabian Schlater of the Marine Corps Officer Program said that although the water level outside the MCOP office, located on the first floor of the Tivoli, was high, only a small amount entered, "barely enough to shine on top of the carpet." According to Stamper all damage to the Tivoli would by covered . by funds from the regular maintenance budget. Repairs to prevent more flooding, however, are not covered in the budget. Stamper said the maintenance crew did a good job getting pumps and ·sand bags in place. He said the ceiling leaks were not nearly as bad as they have been in the past.

Newsletter showcases views, opinions of SGA Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN The Metro Student Government Assembly has started a newsletter, the SGA Review, to keep students informed on the assembly's activities and decisions, said Stephanie Stevenson, president. "In the past the student government has not communicated with students here at Metro," said Stevenson. "This is not a newsletter to compete with The Met," said Stevenson. The newsletter is to present the students with the "unfiltered facts" about what the SGA is doing. Troy Grice, vice president of communications, said "The Met has limited space." He said the newsletter is a means by which the SGA could inform and update the student body of the issues facing the SGA. Grice said that as vice president of communications, he took it upon himself to

organize and edit the submissions to the newsletter. Grice said that he honors all submissions from the student government, even those of dissenting opinion. Stevenson said that she invited Patrick Lyons, president of American Marketing, to offer a critique of the newsletter at the Aug. 22 SGA meeting. At that meeting, Lyons called the newsletter a "very good idea," but said it was negative and unpleasant to the eye. Lyons suggested photographs of the SGA members to enhance their visibility to the student body, more information on how students can reach the SGA, distributing the newsletter in class schedules and advertising revenue from corporate sponsors to offset cost. Grice said Lyons' criticisms were valid but stated, "I am not trying to market US News and World Report," but attempting to provide the students with a resource to be informed. He said he printed 100 copies of the four-page newsletter at the cost of nine dolSee SGA page 5

.Pro, Con·with Student Government Saiz, Grice answer questions about student lobby

Constitution that we operate under, Article 9 in it mentions that student government should uphold all student votes. I felt that if new information arose which led student government to feel they were duped in an earlier election or weren't given all the facts, then there should be a procedure outlined for changing that vote by the students. Q: Do you feel that any action taken to re-evaluate the referendum that kept CSA on campus would say to the administration that the Student Government Assembly does not have faith in the vote of the student body? Troy Grice: I think if we do it in an arbitrary fashion, then yes, it would show the Administration that we don't have faith in the student body, but if we allow the students to circulate a petition, taking the matter on their own shoulders, the problem would be solved. John Saiz: Basically, around here, the administration already knows that the students don't know what they want; that's why they mistreat us and make up all these rules that exclude us from the meetings when they vote on these issues ; they already know that the student have already displayed that they don't know what they want. The new SGA was put in this situation because we didn't know whether or not to sign this contract because the new members of SGA feel that 200 out of 17,000 doesn't mean much when yoe've got a referendum question that gives the connotation that student fees won't be raised if you vote yes. What kind of scruples does CSA have after giving out a referendum question that doesn't really reflect what it represents? Q: What would you have as an alternative to CSA? Troy Grice: I don't think we could fulfill the job of CSA ourselves, so any alternative we would propose would fall short of what we have now. I don't think we realistically have the resources io lobby a state cabinet full time. Nor would we have the influence that CSA has since they represent 100,000 students (the combined

The Metropolitan talked to two Student Government Assembly members about the debate going on over Metro's funding of the Colorado Student Association. The members are Vice President of Academic Affairs John Saiz and Vice President of Campus Communications Troy Grice. Their answers are printed together in this article although they were interviewed at separate times. Q: Where do you stand on the CSA

Issue? John Saiz: My problem with CSA is that they think it's the only body capable of lobbying. They came to our meeting and told us that it would be impossible for any of us to do what CSA does. When they told me that, it was like a challenge to me. I was a delegate at their platform-issues meeting a couple months back, and I noticed that Metro only had five delegates to represent the issues of 17,000 (students) ... Most of our platform issues were voted down because issues like "diversity" weren't important to the other schools. CSA is structured for residential colleges. Metro is an urban commuter college, a non-traditional college. We have a lot of diversity, we have handicapped people accessing higher education here on campus ... most of the other colleges don' t face the same issues we do. Troy Grice: The big issue right now is following what I feel is constitutional procedure for overturning a student vote and taking funds that were collected from the students with the understanding that it was going to CSA and then using them for a different means. I feel the (situation) is being handled improperly. In the --

student bodies of the 14 schools that CSA represents) and we only represent 17,000. John Saiz: My strategic plan for the next five years would be to create a student lobby group made up of political science

internship students that would go along with CSA to lobby the legislature. Even Governor Roy Romer is advocating more hands-on training for college students that are involved in political science.

Metro's Student Government Assembly has placed all of the school's teacher evaluations on the Internet. Brett Berringer, vice presiden! of student organizations, has been in charge of organizing the output of the teacher evaluations.

"We've been working on the Web page and thought it would be a great way to get it out to the students," Berringer said. "It allows us to allocate our budget toward other services." Originally, SGA wanted to have the evaluations printed and placed into a pamphlet style book, but Berringer said that plan was dropped due to budget cuts.

Jars. Grice said if there was ever a demand for more, then he would print additional copies. Stevenson said that she respects the role of The Metropolitan to inform students, but said that students told her they do not want to have to sift through The Metropolitan to find out what is happening in the SGA. Stevenson said she respects and understands the job of the media, but also said a reporter told her once that positive news is not reported , that reporters want negative information and sensational stories. Last week 's "Stevenson reads state law ' my way"' story in The Metropolitan was an example of such reporting, accord-

ing to Stevenson. She said she understands criticism is part of the job as student body president, but said Metropolitan reporter Dave Flomberg crossed the line. "It's personal now," said Stevenson. "The way it was written, il wasn't professional." Stevenson added that the students need to know the truth, "whether you criticize me or not, it doesn ' t matter." When asked about the CSA controversy, she said, "I am not capable of putting the CSA on probation." The SGA cannot do it either, she added; only the student body, by popular vote, can put CSA on probation. · Although she said she was pleased that the controversy sparked student body interest in the CSA, she said she wants students to get all the facts .

Lindsey said he wants to cut commissioners' pay from $50,000 per year to $30,000 because the job would not be as demanding as it once was because Arapahoe County voters passed a measure

lies in Arapahoe and Adams counties. He said bringing more social services to north Aurora would be cheaper than starting a whole new county to provide services for Aurora citizens. Lindsey, who is the youngest commissioner candidate, said Arapahoe County

that expanded the commission from three to five members. "It's not going to take as much time," he said, "For part-time work, we should get part-time pay." He also opposes Aurora's plan to become its own county. Currently, Aurora

created the city's desire for the city-county conglomerate by not pleasing its people. He said he will represent his district's voters' views and will work to make the voters happy.

OPINION

AUGUSf 30, 1996

Act of kindness defeats cynicism Apathy has become the synonym· for my generation. Lately, wherever you turn, people in my age group are being lambasted for not caring about anything but ourselves; for having the lack of drive and determination to stand up and make a difference in the world. Judge not lest ye be judged, I say. To the baby-boomers and and ex-hippies, I will share a personal story showing the truth about my generation: we are as caring and impassioned as any other. . A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call from my girlfriend saying she had left her wallet in my car or at my house, and could I bring it back to her? I turned my house and ride inside out looking for a wallet that just would not be found. When she called back, I told her I couldn't find her wallet, and she got a little upset, threatening to withhold "quality time" from me unless I produced her wallet. I became frantic, ripping apart seat cushions, emptying trash cans on the floor, and shaking out laundry. As I was making an appointment with my vet to have vivisection performed on my cat to see if she ate the wallet, the other line rang.

Slice of

Life Dave Flomberg "Hello?" f said. "Is this Dave?" "Yeah, who is this?" "Do you know Amy?" "Who wants to know?" "Well, I found her wallet..." The world suddenly became a much brighter place to me. The heavens parted and a chorus of angels sang "hallelujah!" This was great. My girlfriend was going to get her wallet, I was going to get my quality t1me, and the Rockies were looking strong. . However, this is not the important story. The important story lies with the kind young woman who had seen the

Can we talk, I will listen

It has been my experience that with the label of journalist comes. a negative judgement. As students of journalism, we are taught to write but are always finessing the fine art of listening. We want you to tell us your story. We need ypu to share your experience good or bad. We do have a community on this campus. It is a most under utilized society that we have here but it is of our making. This campus has as its greatest resource the people who work here.

wallet lying in the gutter a few blocks from my house (later my girlfriend and I pieced together that she had forgotten the wallet on top of my car, and it was somehow my fault - go figure), splayed open, with $94 in cash and various bits of paper all around it. The woman curbed her car, picked up the all of the various and sundry parts of my lady's life, went home, and started calling numbers she found in the wallet in order to return it to its rightful owner, (Amy has no phone) which is where she found mine. True story, swear to god. The woman was maybe a year or two older than I. Yes, a member of the "me" generation or "generation -X:' had taken the time to reach out and help another sou!, be it a complete stranger. Lighten up, establishment. This generation has faced a multitude of experiences that make us unique to any other. Stop trying to make us live up to the standards that you never met. Accept that the kindress of true human nature lies in all of us, regardless of age. Take one woman's quest to return another's wallet as illustration.

North is not 'right' To the editor in chief: The Aug. 23 issue of The Metropolitan has a news article describing a forthcoming debate between Jesse Jackson and Oliver North. Mr. Jackson is described as "civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson," while North is described as a "right-wing radio commentator." If it is the editorial position of The Metropolitan that Mr. North deserves a pejorative "right wing" label, then this message belongs on the editorial page, correctly labeled as the newspaper's opinion. Colleges are places tor the examination of ideas. Some of these ideas each one of will find to be distasteful or even offensive, but in order for there to be such an examination, differing points of view must exist freely. We do not serve the free exchange of ideas when we let our personal opinion slip into a news article cloaked as fact. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. Kenneth E.

Fighting off attackers, fighting AIDS, ghosts in Capitol Hill and Metro rugby

Getting gain from causin_g pain Self defense class teaches students to injure, disable attacker Eric Pierson The METROPOLITAN

While some Metro students are talcing classes such as Mathematical Modes of Thought, others are learning how to snap a neck. John Giduck, a professor in criminal justice, teaches a course through Metro called International Combat Grappling. Every movement, every action in combat grappling is designed to choke your opponent or break a leg, arm or neck, Giduck said. "Anything goes, from grabbing the crotch to biting." Giduck said. "Everything is directed to get your opponent down and hurt him." The.class has become popular among criminal justice students even though no credit is given for talcing it International combat grappling encompasses everything from Russian Sambo to Greco-Roman wrestling moves. "Most moves are similar and basic," Giduck said. Giduck stresses conserving energy and waiting for the right moment to attack. Karate is more concerned with flash and tends to wear people out, said Giduck. "A good wrestler knows that when

someone is throwing a kick at you, the other leg is still on the ground. You go right after the leg and take your opponent to the ground," Giduck said. Students who take the class also take risks. "The main reason I jdined the class was to find something with more substance," says criminal justice student Jeff Lindsey, who suffered a cracked rib during a June 11 class. "ICG offers me a more fresh, warrior-style approach of fighting with less of the flash offered in martial arts." International combat grappling also is very effective self-defense for women, according to Giduck. "We start the women on the ground with a man between their legs," Giduck said. "Unlike other self-defense cJasses, which tell women that they have lost when a man is on top of (them), a good wrestler is at home on the ground, and there are several options for you. In that position a women can ch6ke, break a neck or break an arm." Unlike karate, which can take two years to learn, Giduck said that in two hours he can train women to defend themselves.

Hyoung Chang/The METROPOLITAN DOWN AND OUT: Melissa O'Dell practices combat grappling, which teaches people to injure their attacker with instructor John Giduck. "After leaving the class, she will know the basics and will know what to do," he said. Giduck teaches the class in his Denver home, and makes sure all the necessary safety precautions are taken by students who take his class. When a grappler is put in a painful hold, he or she slaps their opponent on the

arm, and the hold is released. "It only takes 15 pounds of pressure to break a joint," Giduck said. The cost of the cJass ranges from $40 a month for one day 1l week to $60 a month for three or more days. Those -interested can contact International Combat Grappling at 800 18th St. Denver or call 298- 700 l.

The Metro Music Activities Committee is sponsoring a World Music Concert Series this year highlighting Irish, Japanese, African American and South Indian cultures. "My idea is to highlight various groups within our community and bring in people from outside the community if necessary to explore as many cultures as possible," said Larry Worster, coordinator of the program and assistant professor of music. Worster sees the benefits of the program as being not only musical entertainment but cultural enlightenment. "People should think of these as musical events rather ·than concerts, there is something you gain from a live perfonnance that you cannot get from a tape or CD," he said. "You are allowed a look at other cultures, whether that be through the dress of those attending or how the audience interacts with the performers." Worster emphasized the resources of the Denver community and the need to utilize them.

Timothy Leene1 The METROPOLITAN

Centers help ease.fear of testing Chris Adams The METROPOurAN You're still glowing from having a great night with the guy you met last week at the country dance. You remember what a great dancer he was and the laughs you had as he taught you to line dance. But then you remember him sharing with you what a ladies' man he was, and you do remember a number of women standing by that seemed to know him in a more intimate way than just dancing. Thoughts start bombarding your mind. What if he gave you more than a good time? What if, in fact, you caught AIDS from him? What do you do? If you are a student, staff or faculty member of Metro, with a valid ID card, you can walk into the Metro Student Health Center in the Plaza Building, Suite 150 or call them at 556-2525 to make an appointment to be tested. The cost of the test is $15. A professional staff member will meet with you for pre-test and post-test counseling, to discuss risk factors, educate you about the disease, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. They then draw a vial of blood which will be sent to a lab for analysis. Results will be available within 10 days to two weeks. Results will only be given at a follow-up appointment, not over the phone. Depending on what the results are, a staff member will provide information about prevention methods, .risky behavior and support groups, and refer you to

medical professionals who are specifically trained to deal with AIDS. While you 're waiting for the test results, a myriad of concerns may overwhelm you. What if someone saw or heard about you getting tested? What if it gets back to your friends, your family, the guy you went out with last week or the guy you're attracted to in class? Billi Mavromatis, education coordinator for the student health center, explained that there are two types of testing in Colorado - anonymous and confidential. Anonymous testing does not require that you provide your real name. A number is assigned at the time an appointment is made and that is the only identifying information given. Test results are recorded and provided to the client using that number. The only anonymous testing site in Colorado is at 1210 E. Colfax. Confidential testing does require that you provide your real name and address. Testing is confidential and all medical records are kept in a locked facility. Mavromatis assured that there is a "high degree of confidentiality" in the facility regarCling the records. By law they are required to give your name to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. "It is not posted or given out to anyone," said Mavromatis. "It's a reportable disease like TB (tuberculosis)."

She also cautioned tha.t negative test results do not necessarily mean you did not catch HIV. There is a time period which must be considered when evaluating test results. Testing should be done at least six weeks after exposure and again at six months to determine if in(ection has occurred. According to Mavromatis, since the Student Health Center started testing for HIV infection in 1990, about 750 people have taken the test. Although she couldn't disclose the percentage of positive results,. because of ~onfidentiality, she said, "the disease is still out there.'' Mavromatis slre$sed the importance of taking care of your health, rather .than caring if anyone knows. "Denying it is not good for you, your health," said Mavromatis. "The minute you step into a doctor's office, they will know. 'The fact that you're positive means you need medical care. It can really benefit you if you get tested early." And if the result is negative? "Keep that negative result f>y practicing safer sex or abstinence and doing it consistently," said Mavromatis, who added that the ...health center distributes free condoms to encourage safer sex pfactices. If you are interested in learning more about AIDS, there is an eight-week class in Human Services under HSP 101 , taught by certified AIDS teacher Dr. Anne Hatcher. Call 556- 2951 for more information.

New drugs slowing HIV's ability to spread .

Eric Pierson The METROPOLITAN

Some people infected with the HIV virus say they find pleasure in every day living, a new series of drugs may help them enjoy more of those days, said the Colorado Aids Project HIV information resources coordinator Robin Valdez, who has been with Colorado Aids Project since 1995, said the relief may come from a new family of drugs called protease inhibitors - drugs that slow down the spread of HIV, which is the virus doctors say causes AIDS. "While this is no cure, it could help an HIV-infected person stay healthier longer," said Valdez. CAP offers client services to 850 clients. They are the oldest and largest HIV $Cl'Vice provider in the state, said David Goldberg, public affairs director. AIDS Walk, the leadership recreational dinner and Art Against Aids are their major fundraising and consciousness raising events. Their services include food banks, emergency financial assistance, counseling and support groups. They are number one in AIDS education and prevention in the state. "One in 2SO Americans lives with HIY," Goldberg said adding that "AIDS is the le&ding killer of all Americans ages 18-24." Certain protease inhibitors can reduce the amount of the virusJn a persOffinfccted with HIV as much as 99 percent, preventing duplication and slowing the rate the virus weaken the body's immune system according to "Protease Inhibitors" by Martin Markowitz, staff investigator at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center. Protease inhibitors attack the virus during its replication, or copy-making, process. Protease is an HIV enzyme the virus needs to ~on-

tinue the infection process. It helps the virus copy itself and attack more of the white blood cells the cells which help the body immune system recognize infections, further weakening the body's immune system. Protease inhibitors work by preventing the HIVinfected cells from copying themselves, slowing down the rate at which the infection spreads, according to Markowitz. The new medicine differs from past HIV drugs in what it targets and how strong it is. AZf and 3TC drugs, other drugs that fight the virus, are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors because they attack the enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, Markowitz explained. The enzyme is used by HIV to change from its chemical form into one that can be easily inserted into the infected cell. This process happens soon after HIV infects the cell, according to Markowitz. '"Think of it as a production line," Valdez said. "Drugs like AZf attack it during the first stage of production while protease inhibitors attack it at the end." lnvirase, Norvir, Cixivan and Viracept are the four protease inhibitors in the final stages of testing. Invirase has been approved by file Food and Drug Administration and already is being used to treat AIDS patients at the Denver Health Medical Center, 777 Bannock SL, according to Valdez. Side effects of the drug included diarrhea, vomiting and headaches. Doctors also inform patients to keep hydrated or they may develop kidney stones, according to Valdez. An estimated 2 million deaths worldwide have been attributed to AIDS, according to the Colorado AIDS Project in statistics released through June 1995.

'A most amazing experience' Me.tro professor, Denver teachers travel to Ghana Rebecca Ciletti The METROPOLITAN Taking 14 Denver teachers and an open mind, Dr. Akbarali Thobhani, Metro African-American Studies professor, traveled to the Republic of Ghana, West Africa, in July. Funded by a $58,000 Fulbright-Hays grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the group had two goals: to develop a partnership between the University of Ghana and Denver schools, and to provide firsthand experience to local social studies teachers, Thobhani said. Thobhani, a native of Uganda, said that Ghana was selected based on its role in the 20th century of African history, especially in African liberation and unification struggles, and its link with the Americas through four centuries of slave trade. Located in West Africa on the Gulf of Guinea, Ghana is roughly the size of the states of Illinois and Indiana combine, and English is the official language. For five weeks Thobhani and teachers from Aurora and Cherry Creek school districts traveled through Ghana, "learning as much about Ghana as possible," Thobhani said. The group attended lectures on history, politics, literature and the role of women, he said. They also visited historical sites, schools and families. "We learn by meeti~g people of different backgrounds," Thobhani said. The most rewarding aspect of the trip was being able to learn about the Ghanaian culture and about the way families and tribes function, Thobhani said. "I enjoyed the people and the opportunity to talk to them and learn about their history and day-to-day life," said Monique Taylor, a teacher at North Middle School. "They're wonderful people, so friendly and so interested," said Anne Houser, a teacher at Cherry Creek West Middle School. "We never felt closed off from anything," Mauck said. "They invited us to

naming ceremonies, family dinners and funerals." "We were participants in the society," she said, "it was not a tourist experience whatsoever." The highlight of the trip came when the group attended a traditional funeral for a queen mother, an adviser to a chief of Ghana, who died in April at the age of 103, Thobhani said. "It was like a huge festival connected with the funeral," he said, "it was a mindblowing experience." Chiefs: kings and queens, as well as commoners, all c~e to the king's palace to show their loyalty to the royal family. "There was a cacophony o_f sound and colors galore,'' Mauck said. The celebration was very elaborate with drummers, music, costumes, dancing and food, with everything having some importance, she said. "We were in the midst of, really, the crux of their society." "It is difficult to describe," Thobhani said. "It was a most amazing cultural experience." The teachers adjusted well to life in Ghana, although it is a country with a different standard of living and is much more primitive than the United States, he said. "It was really amazing. Just surviving in a third world country is unbelievable," Houser said. "It was an eye-opening experience to see how four out of five people in the world live," Mauck said. Also interesting was a trip to a rain forest, which is shrinking due to the huge lumber exportation, Thobhani said. Timber is one of the main exports of Ghana along with cocoa and gold. While Thobhani, who teaches a West African civilization course, will bring his experience to his students at Metro, he. -and the teachers are now developing a curriculum to distribute nationally, he said. The teachers also plan to integrate the experience into their teaching. Houser, who teaches cultural geography, will incorporate what she learned in the lectures into assignments for students.

Her students will also correspond with Ghanaian students. She is also organizing a book drive. "It was amazing going to the schools and seeing what they didn't have," she said, adding, they had very little equipment, no books or posters "and yet they were still learning." Mauck, a teacher of language arts, brought back many · artifacts and some Adinkra symbols that she will use to teach different modes of expression. Taylor will collaborate with the fllusic and art teachers at North to teach a comprehensive unit on Africa "It makes a difference when a teacher can teach about a certain part of the world. It makes teaching fun and exciting," Thobhani said. "It gets the message out." The t~achers will continue to correspond with the ties they have made at the University of Ghana, Thobhani said.

... Photos courtesy Akbarali Thobhani Having been so immersed in the culture for five weeks, it was difficult for them to leave, he said. "Ghana is incredibly rich in terms of culture, tradition and history. It's like a beautifully woven piece of cloth, the culture is just like that. It touches everyone's life," Mauck said.

The

METROPOLITAN

The group of ghost story buffs gathered around Metro teacher Phil Goodstein listened intently, awaiting the next ghoulish tale of murder and mayhem on Capitol Hill. Goodstein, a part-time history department faculty member, just finished writing his fourth book, "The Ghosts of Denver: ·capitol Hill." Being a local writer, Goodstein's writing focuses on- past and present events in the Capitol Hill area. Saturday evening at the Metro-Denver Baha'i Center, Goodstein told ghost stories from the book. Goodstein told one story of Cheesman Park's illustrious founder Walter Scott Cheesman. He was the wealth.iest and most influential man in Denver during the 1890s, and when he died in 1907, Cheesman's cherished cow mysteriously disappeared. It has also been said, a rampaging cow can be seen in the park. · Cheesman Park was Denver's first graveyard, but .the people of Capitol Hill didn't want a graveyard in their beautiful suburban area. Most of the dead people were transferred to other graveyards, but some 2,000 bodies were left six feet under. When walking throu·g h Chessman Park today, strange things happen in dif-

ferent sections of the park. .. y 0 u could be strolling through the park, and suddenly you walk through a cold pocket of air," Goodstein explained from experience. There ............_ __.....__ __............__ _.......,___...___ _..._ is one place

AUGUST 30, 1996 n. METROPOLITAN

Recr~iting

and incr~ased funding fuel soccer tea·m Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

During the 1995 season the Metro women's soccer team battled the demons of weak offense, poor chemistry, lack of depth, injuries and youth, and finished the season 2-13-2, a vivid contrast to the 11-72 third place finish in 1994. For the upcoming 1996 season, head coach Ed Montojo said the team plans on making their move back to the top. "We have the potential to be really good," Montojo said. Montojo said the talent of ;ecent recruits should fill the voids from last season. The team, however, is still young. He said that there are only three seniors on the team and four juniors. However, Montojo does not expect youth to be a problem. ''This year we have better overall athleticism; 14 starters ... we can mix and match much better." Of the 20-member team, 11 are returning players. The key, Montojo said, is keeping senior goalkeeper Chellie Mccourt healthy. She has no back-up - junior goalkeeper Jennifer Pierce, with a tom Achilles' tendon, is sitting out the season as a junior redshirt, so she still has two years of eligibility left. In a worst case scenario, Montojo said, he would call on junior defender A.I. Macintosh to step in as goalie. Missouri Valley College transfer Ariana O'Neill, forward, brought along her sister Tarena O'Neill, midfielder, and Vicki Chong, defender, both freshman. All three are from New Zealand and played on the Junior National Team. Montojo said the three will fill positions that the team struggled with last season. Sophomore Tracie Mayes, second team all-conference last year, is moving from forward to the midfielder position. Sophomore Julie Ray is moving as well, from defender to midfielder, where Montojo said she is stronger. Marisa Burks, who started last year as a freshman, will play defender. Katie Pierce, whom Montojo called an

"outstanding freshman" last year, is coming off an ankle injury that caused her to miss the last six games of the season. She will move from the center of the midfield to the left. Montojo expects her to bring great play to the 1996 Roadrunners squad. Junior Shannon Wise missed all of last year with an ankle injury; the year before, she was the team's second leading scorer. "We expect some big things from her," Montojo said. "We're pretty strong all the way through," Montojo said of his team. "We have a lot more talent and some new enthusiasm." This season is the 12th for· Montojo, who has been at Metro longer than any other coach. Last year's season was the first losing season since he started in 1984. He said his team went 13-5 his first year and the team has consistently been competitive. Montojo said he has seen the program go from limited funding and only three scholarships, to a program in which 17 of the 20 players have some type of financial aid and better backing from the community. He said additional scholarship money, from the corporate sponsorship program, allowed him to bring in more players. Montojo said the sponsorship program will help all the athletic programs at Metro. ''To compete now at higher levels, it's unfortunate... you need money." Montojo named Regis and University of Denver (DU will not be eligible for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title because it is only an affiliate member) as the team's main hurdles. "I expect it will be between the three of us again." Outside of the RMAC, Montojo said the University of Northern Colorado would be a real test. The women's team flies to California Friday morning to compete against the University of California at Davis and San Francisco State University. The team returns to Colorado for a game at UNC Sept. 8. The team's first home game will be Sept. 10 against DU al 4p.m. "The first four games are pivotal for us," Montojo said, "We are anxious to start playing and return to the lop."

Volleyball ready to have a little fun ,·

A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The stress of high expectations sank last year's volleyball team to a record of 13-20, said Metro head coach Joan McDermott. This season, the Roadrunners are not setting lofty goals such as pledging state championships or trips to national competitions. Instead, the team will concentrate

on improving upon last year's record and remaining positive. "We're trying to bring the fun back," McDermott said, "They're working really hard and improving." McDermott returns to Metro after a six-year stint coaching at Morningside College in Sioux Falls, Iowa, where she led the team to regional play last year and a tenth place ranking. She coached the Roadrunners prior to that for two years

with regional competition and AllAmerican players both years. This time, she said, she plans to stay for a long time. Possibly long enough to recapture strength in Metro's volleyball program. "We want to get sound fundamentally and work on good ball control," she said. The Roadrunners have real digging talent, McDermott said, so she has put emphasis on blocking to complement the

good digs. "We're also working on quick attack with the middle hitters," she said. She said those to look for include outside hitter Stacey Hoyt, senior, and 6-foot middle blocker Terri Kammerzell, sophomore. McDermott said she won't start any freshman this year, including a new 6-foot middle blocker out of Brazil. However, See 'RUNNERS page 17

Undefeated rugby team set for season A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Hoping to build on an undefeated season and a Division II state championship in the 1994-95 season, the Metro rugby team is busy recruiting and getting · back into shape. The club has been around since 1983, and has never experienced a losing season, said equipment manager John Tewinkle. The team ended last year with a 4-2 record in the division. "We play good rugby, especially in the last four years," tie said. "We've always been the best Division II team." Club President Will Johnson said he hopes to continue that tradition. "We want to go undefeated again this year." Johnson said the team is strong enough to compete in Division I but need a solid core of 30-35 players to achieve that status. Currently, the team has about

10 players. "q'hat's our only holdback right now," ·he said. Second-season coach Howard Kent, in a written comment to his team, said he wanted to improve each of his player's skills and to "attain and maintain first division status." Johnson said the team dynamics will chang(( considerably over the course of the year as some players move on to other things, including playing in other leagues, and as the team recruits more. ·He said the team should draw more players this fall. The team will get started with a couple of scrimmages next week and will open the season against Colorado College at the Auraria fields on Sept. 14 at noon. Metro will also host the 20- to 25team Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Invitational Tournament Nov. 3 and 4. The tourney will feature players from three divisions including the RMAC, Open College and Division II Men's sides as well as some women's teams.

'Runners take on positive outlook; setting no lofty goals for season VOLLEYBALL from page .1 5 she only has three seniors starting. One junior and two sophomores round out the starters.

The team flew out Thursday bound for Jacksonville, Fla. to compete in the North Florida Labor Day Classic tournament. The team is set for three days of play against

Grand Valley State · from Minnesota, the University of Tampa, Barry University and the University of North Florida. The team will return Monday and prepare for its first

home match. They will co-host the Colorado Premier Challenge with Regis University Sept. 6-7, playing all Metro matches in the Events Center gymnasium.
