.GOP.cannot ban gays

Judge rules Auraria club is not exempt from anti-discrimination policy Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN After a yearlong legal battle, the Auraria College Republicans were dealt a major blow when a fedefat judge ruled Aug. 29 it is not a violation of the Constitution for Metro to make the club sign an anti-discrimination waiver. Judge Edward Nottingham decided in a pre-trial hearing that requiring clubs to sign the form is not a violation of their right t• free speech; the College Republicans, who are partly funded by Metro students' fees, claimed it was. The student group may face an ultimatum later this fall: Sign a document stating they will not discriminate against homosexuals or get out of their space in the Club Hub. Under Metro's club policy, failure to sign the antidiscrimination pledge means the Republicans will not be

recognized as an official club and will not be eligible for Tivoli office space. The final word on the issue, however, wi11 not come until after Nov. 29. Then, a federal Civil Court trial will -determine whether the Republicans are being denied their rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution since another club, the Reserve Officer Training Corps, is not required to sign the anti-discrimination waiver. Metro Attorney Scot Silzer said that is a legal technicality since ROTC policies are considered under the domain of the Federal Government. Bill Keran, a Metro student and member of the College Republicans, said he has not heard an official decisfon about what the club will do if they lose in court but doubts they will sign the waiver. "I think we're probably going to say no because this is a thing of principle," he said. "It's not that we would actively kick out gay members, but we won't sign any-

thing that says that." :<\uraria gays and lesbians said that the ruling is a victory. Donnita Wong, the president of the University of Colorado - Denver chapter of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual Amance said she is excited about the decision. "I'm pleased that an appropriate ruling has come about because discrimination in any way cannot and should not be tolerated," Wong said. In court documents, the College Republicans state the club is a "very conservative" auxiliary of the Republican National Committee and only allows membership to students who agree with their viewpoints on social issues, morality and the Bible. "Advocacy of homosexuality and homosexual lifestyles is antithetical to this viewpoint," the document states.

SGA appoints 3,

New members ~ fill vacancies "" in the student administration '- Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The Metro Student Government has added three new members: John Olivett, Tracey Monterio and Rodney ~ Lebsock. Olivett and Monterio took over vice presidential pos1t1ons and Lebsock stepped in as the representative for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB). All three were appointed by Metro student government President Stephanie Stevenson and confinned by the Student Government Assembly on Aug. 1. During the summer, student government vice presidents Salvador Bonilla and Donald Cabral Jr. and representative John Baker either resigned or never attended student government functions. Olivett will replace Bonilla as the vice president of personnel and finance. Bonilla, according to Chief Justice Pete ~ Rutt, left the student government assembly to join the Navy. Olivett, a 32-year-old junior, returned to Metro this summer, 13 years after taking some time off, including a four-year stint in the Army. Only a semester into his )t., return, Olivett will serve as a vice president in the SGA. Oliven said before he enrolled during the 1996 summer term he saw a lot of •changes on the campus, some good, some bad. He said that students no longer get hit .,.. by cars crossing through the campus. He also said, however, that ·parking fees have become enormous. Olivett said he first addressed his concerns to the "parking people" and said he could not even get past the front desk. Asse~bly

He said he then went to the SGA, hoping they could do something. Olivett said that as the summer term progressed he began to sit in at SGA meetings as an interested student with concerns. He said he began offering his opinions on other issues from a student perspective. Olivett said the SGA had talked to him about a student-at-large position. Instead, the position of vice president of personnel and finance was recently vacated, and he applied. · "The door opened, and I took the challenge," Olivett said. Olivett, who is married, is majoring in criminal justice and criminology and is a political science minor. Olivett said he is "open to (doing) anything as long as I do some good for the students." Cabral, meanwhile, never showed up to any student government functions, Rutt said. His name remained on the SGA roll call until July 11, and his absences were excused up until June 6. Monterio was appointed to Cabral's vice _presidential position on Aug. I, the same day as Olivett. Monterio, a criminal justice major, is 22 years old and a single parent of a 2year-old. As vice president of student services, she is a liaison between the student government and Vernon Haley, vice president of Metro Student.Services. She said that although a lot of students voice their concerns about problems regarding the campus, they do nothing about it. As she brought her concern to the student government, she saw that the position she now occupies was vacated. Like Olivett, she applied and is now a member of the student government. Monterio described the student government members as "very dedicated students." She described her new duties as a big commitment and said she will organize the upcoming campus blood drive. Lebsock is the new SACAB representative to the student government, but he is See SGA page 5

Dababhoy encouraged all professors on the Auraria Campus to bring their classes to the discussion, which is expected to last about one hour. . The discussion is the first of a weekly series called "Towering Issues of Today." The series will deal with current issues, something Dababhoy said stu. dents on the Auraria campus should be informed about. "A lot of ?ig issues go past us on this campus, and the purpose of this is to address that need," he said.

Fall event shines Festivities lure students into the sun Henri Brickey The METROPOLITAN The fall semester started off with things everyone loves: Free food, beverages and one more chance to soak up some summer sun. The second week of every school year, academic departments and student organizations on the Auraria campus set up booths to show students how they can become more involved with their colleges. Attendants at one booth passed out free submarine sandwiches and pop every day of the event. "It's an opportunity to communicate to students how to get involved beyond the classroom," Student Activities Associate Director Kari Tutwiler said. "They (students) go to their classes, go to their cars and then leave," she said. This year over 40 student organizations set up on the lawn near the flagpole area for the three-day event, which went from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. While all of this was going on, The Collegiate Health and Fitness Tour set up

on the Arts Building lawn. The tour was brought to campus by Campus Recreation, the Counseling Center and the Student Health Center. The tour travels nationally to colleges and universities to promote health and wellness to students. Information on hot topics that face college students, including safe sex and drinking ·and driving, was presented and available to students Some of the attractions included wall climbing, tricycle racing and Velcro-wall jumping. Those who wanted to prove their strength could step up to the Gladiator Platform or Sumo Wrestling Circle. All student~ who participated had to sign release forms. Sponsors brought in events and marketed their products by giving away free samples. The primary sponsors were Lipton Iced Tea, Clearly Canadian and Chrysler Jeep Eagle. BACCHUS, a peer education group that has an active chapter on campus, also is a national sponsor for the event.

AH·EC picks up new member Former board member Selena L. Dunham signs on as chairwoman

no stranger to Metro's student government. Lebsock served a term last year as vice president of personnel and finance. He said he joined student government in July after the elected SACAB representative, John Baker, resigned. Lebsock, 25, graduates in December. He is a criminal justice and psychology double major. Lebsock served four years in the Navy and currently works with the Big Brothers and Sisters program. He has been a Big Brother the last four years. Lebsock said that as SACAB representative, he informs the student government about issues pertaining to Auraria and the three schools on its campus. Lebsock said as an SGA member serving the students of Metro, he wants to provide the students with a budget analysis of the parking revenue, to show where the parking fees are going. Lebsock said he didn't run for re-election when his term ended last year because of his upcoming graduation. He said Stevenson asked him in July to step in for Baker.

Mitsuru Shimizu The METROPOLITAN The nine members of the Auraria Higher Education Center Board unanimously selected a new chairwoman at the Aug. 12 meeting, said Rosemary Fetter, spokeswoman for Auraria. The new chairwoman, Selena L. Dunham, is a former member of the board. She will be responsible for planning and policy-making for all non-academic functions, including financing and budgeting, for Auraria facilities, Fetter said. "I want to make the working relationships good ... among the three schools, the students and (Auraria)," Dunham said. "I care about (students') concerns and obviously want to make sure that all of their concerns are listened to. And we want them to have a pleasant" relationship, pleasant experience while they ' re attending school," she added. The board selects its chairperson annually at the beginning of each academic year. Metro President Sheila Kaplan said she was very pleased with the selection of Dunham. "I think it was an excellent choice for the board to elect Selena," Kaplan said. "Although she's only been on the board for a little more than a year, she chaired the search committee that chose Dean

Wolf as Auraria's executive director1 so she knows . an awful lot about the operations of Auraria." Dunham has worked. for Bank One while simultaneously serving on the board of the Five Points Business Association for more than five years. Between 1992 and 1994, Dunham worked for the African American Advisory Committee in Denver Mayor Wellington Webb's administration. Fetter said Dunham has managed her own business for 13 years, Dunham Corporation, which specializes in communications training for police officers and fire fighters throughout Colorado. Dunham said she has lived in Denver for 26 years. She came to Denver from Maryland when she got married, she said. She has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Maryland and earned a master's degree in business at University of Co~rado - Denver, she said. She was on the Metropolitan State College Foundation Board, but she had to leave the board when Gov. Roy Romer appointed her to the Auraria Board in February 1995, she said. Dunham currently is working as a staff member for Colorado state Rep. Diana DeGette's campaign for Congress, Fetter said.

The parking lot on the west side of the Arts Building might seem a little more spacious this semester. That is because the four temporary classrooms that were there la<>t spring have been taken away. Metro spent $70,000 to lease the four temporary classrooms for two semesters last year because it had overbooked 80 classes - the classes were scheduled, but there were no classrooms for them.

Last year classes were held in Sigi's Cabaret in the Tivoli basement, but space still was needed for the 80 classes that were scheduled to start last year. Dick Feurebom, division director of facilities planning and use for Auraria, said, "it was very tight," adding, "this was the h:)west point of my career." With the Tivoli filled up with classes and the Plaza Building under renovation, Feureborn said temporary classrooms would be the only choice for Metro. The four modular classrooms each had a capacity of 50 students and were set up near the Arts Building on campus, Barnett said. Now that the Plaza Building has been completed, Metro has added enough classrooms to accommodate students, and the temporary modular classes were returned in June.

Living with - not dying.from - AIDS "I'd kill myself." "First I would quit my job, tour the world, then finish myself off." "I'd quit school and party nonstop." People say they would do all kinds of crazy things if.they found out they were HIV positive. But the reality is that people with HIV or AIDS have to work harder to maintain their quality of life. Many keep on living. normal lives, holding down the same backbreaking jobs or attend the same classes that healthy people do. Those who don't know anyone who has died from AIDS see it as an excuse to take more risks, but the truth is quite different. Once my best friend, Joel, said that he would quit work and travel the world. Now that he has AIDS, the reality is that he cannot afford to travel the world or pay for all of his doctor visits and medications. He celebrates each increase in his T-cell count instead of getting drunk every night and day. He was a hulking 225 pounds when we were first met. Today he is 145 pounds. He always tells me, "Fags die, Donna. Fags die. It is just that simple. If you are gay, you are born to die." Well it isn't that simple. In his world, that is all he sees; friends and neighbors who have succumbed to "A." He is bound by a rigorous schedule of medication therapy. He knows that childre·n and heterosexual people die of AIDS. But for a man in his 40s to have watched one friend after another die suffering from a disease that was for so long considered the gay man's plague, he still wonders why there wasn't more done earlier.

concerted efforts like this benefit. There has to be an open discourse about prevention. Children have to be educated in order to understand that abstaining from sex is the only sure way to keep from contracting sexually transmitted diseases like HIV. Fear mongers like to say that teaching children about HIV/AIDS prevention will stimulate their desire to have sex, but education can lead to postponement of sex. If you have questions, .call the Colorado AIDS Hotline in Denver, 782-5186; outside of Denver, 1-800252-2437 or 1-800-333-2437. Metro's AIDS policy is on www.mscd.edu/-attorney/aids.html.

People in government and health care are just now reacting to the lack of education and prevention that allowed this disease to spread. He is fortunate to have a partner who supports him throughout all the trials in life. His partner lost his previous lover to AIDS, so he has insight into maintaining the health of someone with AIDS. It also helps that he is a nurse. Never before has someone so close to me been so honest about how truly frightening it is to die. Powerless, tired, depressed, angry and terrified barely graze the scope of feelings he has shared. But he is adamant when he says that he is living with AIDS, not dying. No one wants to live with HIV or die of AIDS, but people do. This weekend the Auraria Walk team will take part in the annual AIDS Walk Colorado benefit to raise money to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS, assist those living with AIDS and educate people about AIDS. An increasing number of people are living with, rather than dying of, AIDS because of

They've set up 1-800-REGISTER, a toll-free way to register for the upcoming national elections. The system will give callers information on how to vote in their states then sends them a completed registration form that is stamped and addressed to the appropriate voter registration office. All the recipient has to do is sign the form and mail it off.

â&#x20AC;˘ire he mirror-tile floor reflects the solitude of each inmate locked in his or her cement cell. The only human interaction that inmates at the Colorado State Penitentiary, Canon City's new maximum security facility, receive comes from the daily shower and exercise time, which last a total of 30 minutes and are supervised by a prison guard. All of the over 300 inmates at CSP were sent there because they showed they were incapable of living in a general population facility. A stay at this facility sends most inmates back to the general population, with a firm desire not to return. The only exceptions to this are the five inmates on death row. Some inmates are rewarded for good behaviol" and given the job of porter. A porter is let out' of his or her cell to sweep and mop the rest of the cell block.

Any time outside of the cell is welcome. In contrast, Colorado's oldest prison, Colorado Territorial Correction Facility, parts of which were built in the 1800s, offers a less structured inmate lifestyle. None of the inmates are locked in their cells and many have jobs, both inside and outside of the prison walls. Territorial is classified as a medium security facility. Inmate interaction is encouraged, and.most will be free men someday. Both facilities, although they use different methods, have the same goal: to prepare inmates for life on the other side of the wall.

Photo editor John McDonough traveled to two Colorado prisons for this photo essay. Inmates agreed to have their photos taken only on the condition of anonym_ity.

Soun ·calling Dr. Luv The Electric Hellfire Club Cleopatra Records

If I had any say in naming this album, and for some reason I was not consulted, it would have been called Songs to Hang Out in a Comic Book store to. I know, I know, it's too long for an album name. But it concisely embodies the shallow themes and lyrics in this 13song ode to death. The only song not worshipping the devil or extolling the virtues of being amo'1g the undead in some sort or another is "Very Groovy Boots." I have no idea how this song got on the album. It has a catchy 50s pop sound to it, and the lyrics aren't very dark at all. It's kind of nice. As for the rest of the album ... I don't know where to begin. "Unleash the Beast," "7th Angel,"

''Prince of Darkness" and "Servants of Evol" are good examples of the types of songs on the album. The band relies heavily on synthesizers and a collage of samples from scary movies. The songs all seem to dwell on three main points: 1. Killing (Sample lyric: ''Thou shalt kill!") 2. Being in love while killing ("You really have to love someone in order to kill 'em") 3. Worshipping the devil (Every song makes some sort of reference to this.) This is the music your parents warned you about, and it is silly. Maybe if it was sprinkled with subliminaf messages of some sort, then we would be talking, but as is, this album is weak. Kill your neighbor's dog. - Mike I.Arkin

• Strike 2 Die Krupps/Frontline Assembly Off Beat All right, all right. We'll review this album. Just quit sending us copies, and we'll do anything you want! Die Krupps must have sent us 15 copies of the same album over the last six months. Some people just.can't take a hint. This album sucks just as bad as the first one they sent us, which we didn't review. The album is a computer generated mess of sound and screaming that goes

nowhere and has no discernible message. This is a look under the rock heavy metal slithered below to hide its shamed head and wait for the day it becomes popular again. Well if, God forbid, heavy metal ever becomes popular again, no doubt Die Krupps will be beating down MTV's door to tell their story of how they had the cojones to be heavy metal when everyone hated heavy metal. Mark my words, it's going to happen people, and we have to be ready. We must not forget that only a few short years ago Def Leppard was filling arenas. We mustn't forget the past or we are doomed to repeat it. - Mike Larkin

'Noone_ rs' serves up munchies for the mind

Naomi Osburn The METROPOLITAN

tudents can feed their minds while they feed their faces with Nooners, a program of lunchtime mini-classes. . Nooners are a series of workshops designed to "allow students to indulge in an hour of interactive, informative entertainment and lifelong learning," explains Larah Newman, program coordinator. The midday meetings tackle such subjects as fighting a traffic ticket, landlord/tenant issues, dealing with debt collectors, date rape, designing a Web page and preparing for graduate school. Nooners are held Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. and Wednesdays at noon in Tivoli room 329 and are open to all students on the Auraria campus. "I hope many people will attend these workshops, and those who do should bring a lunch and bring a friend," Newman says. Sponsored by Metro Student Activities and co-sponsored by University of Colorado - Denver Student Life, the budget for this program comes from student fees and is around $1,500. Most of the people conducting the classes are donating their time. "Because our budget is low, the fall semester will be the trial period for the workshops," Newman says. "Depending on their popularity, we

may get a bigger budget and therefore do bigger things." Paul Caesar, associate director of recruiting/outreach in the Office of Admissions, is hosting a workshop on Oct. 29 entitled "Mind Aerobics." Caesar says his workshop is about "working smarter, not harder." Caesar will discuss the workplace environment within that environment and its future. Before agreeing to present his workshop, Caesar says he asked himself two questions: "In what ways will this embody the college's values, and in what ways will it contribute to the colle~e's purposes?" He has good responses to both of these questions and sees Nooners as "a good out-of-the-classroom experience." Along with "Mind Exercises," Chris Chantler, owner of The Daily Grind, a coffee house, bakery and deli in the Tivoli Student Union, is hosting "Espresso Making." . Bob Woolsey, an actor and independent filmmaker, hosts "Wanna Be a Film Star?" and Ken Theobald, general manager of wine distributor Classic Wines, conducts a wine tasting entitled "Wine Appreciation." Theobald is-one of only 30 Master Sommeliers in the world. A sommelier is a wine steward at a restaurant who is an expert on the fermented grapes and is in charge of their service. Additional information is available in the Metro Student Activities at 556-2595, and the UCO Student Life offices at 556-3399.

Moving toward a healthier student body .

"''

Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN y offering a variety of free health workshops, the Student Health Center is making it easier for students to live healthy. Healthy Moves is a program that was created six years ago for students who want to optimize their college careers. "It's a support group," says Linda Wilkins-Pierce, a behavioral health educator in charge of the workshops. "When you get a bunch of people together with

the same worries and questions, the options always look brighter." A workshop on the pursuit of tranquillity and learning to relax, "In Pursuit of Tranquility: A Relaxation Workshop," can benefit those who experience stress on a regular basis, Wilkins-Pierce says. Learning how to think realistically and decreasing the emotional response to stress are the main focuses of the seminars, which run through Nov. 19. "We look at a more realistic thinking," Wilkins-Pierce says. Starting an exercise program and a

healthier eating schedule takes not only a change of heart but a change of schedule. 'The Metamorphosis: Making Lifestyles Change" workshop aims to change the procrastinator into a go-getter. The program runs Sept. 12 through Nov. 14 and is broken down into 50-minute sessions. " It's a real potpourri of what issues trouble students' lives," Wilkins-Pierce says. A seminar Oct. 16 on a variety of health topics and the latest research on antioxidants, vitamins, weight loss and nutrition is available and will include food and drink samples for students.

Wilkins-Pierce says that if a workshop cannot fit into a specific schedule, individual counseling is available. Most of the workshops will be held in the Tivoli, but a few will be in the Student Health Center. Wilkins-Pierce says to expect between eight and 20 people to attend each workshop and, for now, she will be the only one teaching the eight workshops. A schedule of days and times for all the workshops is available in the Student Health Center in the, Plaza Building Suite 150, or call 556-25~.

Soccer goes 1-1 on road While the rest of the country enjoyed barbeques and cookouts, the Metro women's soccer team was smoked by one California team and came back to roast another during a west-coast road trip over the Labor Day weekend. The Roadrunners returned with a 1-1 record as they lost their season opener l-3 to the University of California at Davis last Saturday. The 'Runners' only goal came from forward Ariana O'Neill, who successfully scored on a penalty kick in the first half. Metro took only eight shots on goal, while UC-Davis bombarded Metro goalkeeper Chellie Mccourt with 21 shots. McCourt finished

1 goal with eight saves. UC-Davis player Danielle Fagan scored two goals, including the go-ahead goal in the second half. On Labor Day, Metro bounced back after a scoreless first half to defeat San Francisco State University 5-0. On two separate one-on-one situations in the first half, Mccourt stopped the SFSU attacks. Metro took over in the second half when, in a three-minute span, Tracie Mayes, a sophomore midfielder, scored twice. The final five minutes saw another flurry of scoring by Metro as Kari Pierce, Dawn Mitchell and Alissa Allen all scored. Metro's offense outshot SFSU 22-10, McCourt had six saves and earned her first shutout Tarena O'Neill, Julie Ray, Ariana O'Neill, Shannon Wise, Jenelle Andrew, Jami Morgan and Kari Pierce were all credited with assists. - Matthew J.

'Runners open season at home in USC shutout '

Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN The Metro men's• soccer team opened the 1996 season at home Monday with a 3-0 victory over conference rival University of Southern Colorado. "We are very pleased to start with a shutout," said second-year head coach Brian Crookham. ·,. 4 .¥ Metro had 22 shots-ongoal compared to nine from USC. All the Metro starters, minus the goalie and two defenders, had shots. "Our defense played well," said senior midfielder Mazen Kayali, who finished with one goal on four shots. A tripping penalty led to Metro's first goal, 41 minutes into the game. Junior defender Chris Johnson sliced the penalty kick in from 30 yards out. "CJ. just took a great shot," commented freshman Mike Charpentier. "He took it around the wall and put it into the side netting." In the second half junior forward Adam Young burned the USC defense and set up sophomore forward Jeff Swander for a touch shot for Metro's second goal. Metro then failed to capitalize on two breakaways in the second half; both times USC goalkeeper Justin Flack make spectacular saves. Metro goalkeeper Zach Loescher, a freshman, made six saves and garnered his first shutout. USC's Flack finished with 13 saves but allowed three goals. The final goal came as senior defender Yeshitla Zerihun took off downfield and assisted Mazen Kayali on his score.

METROPOLITAN

For a taste of sports outside the usual Metro athletic spectrum, Campus Recreation offers club sports that include everything from rough, energetic rugby to gritty, fast inline hockey. Club Sports Director Scott Reetz estimates this will be the biggest year for club recreation he has seen in his five years at Auraria, drawing about 12 clubs. He said an average 120150 students participate in club sports each year. "I think this year the interest is there to start these clubs," Reetz said. He also noted, however, a club is only as strong as its' leadership, so involvement in the organizations varies year to year. To register as a sport club through Campus Recreation, students must attend at least one orientation meeting before applying for club status. The prospective club also must have at least five members. The fall deadline for application is Sept. 20.

As members of a club, Reetz said, students have access to funding through Campus Recreation, which doles out money based on need and longevity of the club. Reetz said he thought the men's rugby team garnered the most funding because they have travel expenses, need referees and have been with the program for 13 years. Students are not required to pay any sort of fee, in general, to join a sport club. Many teams, however, charge dues as a way of raising revenue for their club. Reetz said that is determined entirely by the individual clubs. Criteria for club status includes the need for Campus Recreation facilities such as the pool, gymnasium or weightlifting room, Reetz said. Also, the club is considered if it is recognized through the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association, with which the department is affiliated. Besides these requirements, the club need only to compete with other schools or be a sports-based organization to qualify •. Reetz said. There are I 0 core sports teams Reetz said, but students have shown an inter-

After resolving inner conflicts and drawing a preliminary pool of more than 50 interested players, the Metro men's club volleyball team is ready to jump into league play and head for national competition. Some of last year's depleted squad returned this fall only after learning the club's leadership had transferred out of the hands of a badtempered club president, said new president Shane Allerheiligen. Allerheiligen said the old president's temper mishaps resulted in the Metro team getting booted from a lot of games and tournaments. "A lot of people didn't want to play because he was there," the sophomore president said. The team is aiming to change that rowdy reputation with the new season, Allerheiligen said. Player Jason Collins, an outside hitter, said he thought the goal of the team was to "become an organized sport team for the school." After a day of open recruiting, he said he thought the club was well on its way to digging out of its disorganized !}ast, as 40 people had See CLUB page 17

Men's soccer set for next test 'RUNNERS from page 15 Seven players started for Metro that did not start last year, Crookham said. Although the new players are starting to mesh, the team is not as cehesive as it needs to be, he said. Crookham called the three-goal margin "convincing (and) nice to see in the first game of the year." There were no similar margins last year, when the team finished 5-15, he said. Young and Maher Kayali, a junior midfielder and Mazen's brother, were both removed from the game after taking elbows to the head. Neither injury was

"Two very solid schools," according to Crookham. "We'll get a good test this weekend." Cobb, who went to high school in Oklahoma City, said "we should come out on top." Mazen Kayali said he expects the team to play strong in Oklahoma. Loescher was more cautious; he said the road trip is "going to be tough."

signed up that day. "We got a big response, a lot better than I thought would turn out," he said. Allerheiligen said he anticipates builcjing three men's teams and two coed teams since each team requires only nine players. The teams will compete at three levels, starting out at B, DD and A classifications and advancing to DD, A and AA teams, with AA sitting one level below Olympic standards. Allerheiligen said he' was confident that the teams would move up relatively early in the season. The team~ will compete against any other college or university that has a volleyball program or that plays in tournaments sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Region U.S. Volleyball Association. _ Allerheiligen has set some specific goals already. "I'd love to beat the CU (University of Colorado - Boulder) team," he said. ''They're one of the best volleyball teams

j,..

in the state." The Metro team will compete either every weekend or every other weekend, and Allerheiligen said he is considering inviting teams to play at Metro. The president said the team seems to have enough interested players to do this. One thing the team does need, however, is money - and quite a bit of it. The club needs a minimum of $1,000 per team to travel to national comj>etition in Tucson, Ariz. They went to Nationals about three. years ago, Allerheiligen said, and wan( to go again. He is looking into offering advertising space on the club's T-shirts in exchange for corporate sponsorship. • 11Uu..&;=--o:~L:11..1 In addition, club members are asked to help in the fund-raising, allowing them to escape paying team dues. If a player does not help out, however, he will have to pay fees to remain on the team. The men's team will hold practice in the Events Center gymnasium Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:009:00 p.m.
