Gassing up on ca_ mpus Total hopes to close deal with Auraria by year's end

Students who come to the Auraria Higher Education Center to fill their minds may one day be able to fill their cars, too. Officials at Total Petroleum and Auraria are negotiating a deal that would lease 40 campus parking spaces for a gas station. Auraria officials said parking.lot B, at 7th Street and westbound Auraria Parkway, goes unused much of the time and would be more valuable to the campus as a profit-generating filling 路station. The deal is still in its beginning stages; said Mary Ferrell, executive director of the Auraria Foundation, the private fund-raising arm of the campus. But a consultant to Total Petroleum, Howard Grueskin, said a lease could be signed within a few months. "I would guess that we would have it all on paper by the end of the year," Grueskin said. Ferrell declined to say how much revenue the gas station would bring to Auraria but estimated that at the least it would equal the $40,000 per year the 18,000 square-foot lot raises through parking fees. Officials predict the gas station will be successful, saying that when it comes to gas stations, lower downtown is on empty. Both Ferrell and Grueskin said the plan of a gas station in the area has been discussed for years but neither could remember when talks first started. Both said there still is a chance the deal will not go through. "There is a lot of stuff to go through

John McDonoughrThe METROPOLITAN FILL 'ER UP: Parking lot B, on the north side of Auraria Parkway, may be the site of a new Total Petroleum station. yet besides the lease, but that has to come first of course," Grueskin said. Ferrell said Total still has to get zoning permission from Denver. Although the foundation is negotiating the lease, the Auraria Board, the primary decision-making body of the Auraria Higher Education Center, ultimately would decide whether to approve the deal. The last time the Auraria Board proposed trading campus space for private enterprise, the political equivalent of a barroom fight broke out invotving Metro, Auraria officials, Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and Rocky Mountain News columnist Gene Amole. During that deal, the Auraria Board tried to muscle through a lease that would have allowed AMC Theaters to build

additional theaters on the site of the campus tennis courts, despite objections from Metro president Sheila Kaplan and Metro's student representatives. Kaplan said she. did not see the trade off in parking for a campus gas station the same as the AMC deal, which would have taken away land used .for academic purposes. "I guess the bottom line is that piece of land (lot B) is across Auraria Parkway," Kaplan said. "I think we all felt it was an opportunity to take a piece of land that was not of any real value to us and bring in some路resources to Auraria." Kaplan and other officials said Auraria would not be losing parking spaces because of a possible deal to use parking at the Pepsi Center sports arena, which also would be built near Auraria.

.Tivoli says 'shut 'em down' Lyrics of rap band playing in atrium deemed "unacceptable" by management Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

•

Local hip-hop band RRAAHH FOUNDASHUN had the plug pulled on them 35 minutes into a Sept. 5 performance in the Tivoli Student Union atrium . Grace Aliaga, of Metro student activities, cut them off after a member of Tivoli management told her offensive language was not permitted at the Tivoli. Aliaga also said a campus police officer threatened to shut down the act if they continued to use offensive language. But the officer, Sgt. Kelly Casias, denied making the statement to Aliaga. "I never said I was going to shut anyone down," he said. " 'Geeze, these guys are loud.' That's all I said.'' Rosanna Rains, administrative manager of the Tivoli, said she instructed the group not to use offensive language. ~t she later said that may have been a mistake. "There is no censoring here in the Tivoli. I really made an error," she said. Band member Joaquin Martinez said he was playing a record by the rapper 01' Dirty Bastard before other members of the band joined him for their performance when Rains approached him. Rains said after she received student complaints she told Martinez the music on the record he was playing was unacceptable. She said he changed the record. "I made an error in judgment by asking them to not play those words," Rains recalled. The band still is scheduled to return to the Tivoli for a performance on Sept. 19. According to Rains, Tivoli policy is to take complaints to the event programmer. In this case, Aliaga. Aliaga said she approached Rains after Rains had spoken to the DJ. Rains repeated what she had told Martinez, Aliaga said. The band was unhappy when Aliaga told them to "keep it down" and keep it clean, Aliaga said. Rains said she felt like there were no problems after that and returned to her office. "Then I find out the next morning that the band had been shut down," she said. "I don't think they should have been shut down," Rains said. ''There was never any mention, nor int~ntion, of shutting down the band, from my standpoint." It was after the full performance began, Aliaga said, that Casias voiced his concerns. Casias said he only commented about the volume. It was then that he learned from Aliaga that she was the person responsible for bringing the band in and that there had been complaints about the language. Casias said he had heard no cussing and that the only complaints he received occurred after he had talked to Aliaga. He said he was not 'in uniform and that the comment was in no way an official complaint. Casias said because of the earlier student complaints Aliaga may have viewed

Campus Iraq debate draws 100 Henri Brickey The METROPOLITAN Metro students and faculty gathered in the Tivoli on Monday to discuss the recent U.S. attack on Iraq. "U.S. Intervention In Iraq: Bully or Peace Keeper" was the first of a series of educational forums Student Activities presented that will be held weekly in the Tivoli. A panel of speakers, most of whom were critical of the recent U.S. foreign policy, presented their views on the attacks o~ Iraq. "In the name of humiliating Saddam, how many Iraqi people are going to have to suffer?" said Director of Intercultural Studies Akbarali Thobhani. He said by making Hussein "the boogie man of the world political scene," America has forgotten the principles of foreign policy and instead is making a country suffer because of their leader. Thobhani used the U.S. sanctions against Iraq as an example. Sanctions hurt the people of the country, not the leader, he

said. "Look at Cuba, there have been sanctions against them for a long time, and (Fidel) Castro is still as powerful as ever," he said. Only one voice was heard uttering any words of support for the recent U.S . attack. "America had a choice to do something or do nothing," and the credibility of the U.S. had to be considered, Metro political science professor Cedric Tarr said. But even Tarr said America tends to throw its weight around a lot. There are plenty of areas in the world the U.S. could influence besides Iraq, Metro economics professor Mohammed Akacem said. Akacem, who wrote in the Rocky Mountain News on Sept. 9 about the U.S. policy toward Iraq, stated Turkey is committing the same inhumane crimes against the Kurds that Iraq is accused of. The room where the forum took place was packed, with nearly 100 people there for the discussion. By the time the first _ speaker began it was standing room only for the audience.

Underage drinking closes club Club America gets 15-day suspension for breaking the law

Licenses Department. Police reports said that on Aug. 9 undercover detectives spotted two underage women Stacey Uhrig and Jennifer Abel, in the bathroom " putting old wristbands on their wrists and then gaining access (to liquor) upstairs." Police cited Daryl Sims, the manager of Club America, Aug. 9 the night of the actual incident and then formally cited the club Aug. 10 in court. The report went on to state: "They were going to quit using the wristbands and have only one entrance upstairs, where once they got upstairs, would be ID'd again. He was also advised to start putting the alcohol away downstairs on teen nights." "Violations like these happen on a regular basis," Patrick said. Patrick also said dropping into a restaurant unexpectedly to do a search for minors is a common police tactic. Tivoli Beer, which is produced and bottled in Club America's restaurant in the basement, still will be made while the establishment is closed. Representatives from the club were unavailable for comment.

AMERICA CLOSED: Patrons of the Tivoli's only night club are being greeted by the sign (inset) informing them of the closure. Police found · the club was serving alcohol to minors Aug. 9.

Club America and Restaurant America in the Tivoli were temporarily shut down Sept. 4 for serving alcohol to minors. The club had an option to close down for 30 days without a fine or pay 20 percent of the average liquor sales from 15 days, at a maximum of $5,000, and be able to open after 15 days. Club America choose the latter. The club also will be on probation for the next six months. As of now, Club America is suspended from Sept.4 through Sept. 19. America's policy was to check customers' ID cards at the front door of the restaurant and the club. Customers age 21 or over received wrist bands while those under 21 did not. "We had reports that they were serving persons under 21 ," said Detective Mike Patrick in Denver's Excise and

President kicks off '96-97 year Convocation stresses looking to future of urban education Travis Henry The METROPOLITAN

.... ..

"Metro in the year 2000" was Metro President Sheila Kaplan's main theme during her convocation speech in the Tivoli on Sept. 5. "Metro could one day be a model of urban baccalaureate education in this country," Kaplan told an audience of more than 300 students and faculty. To become such a model Kaplan said Metro must focus on improving teaching through tecl\nology, continuing Metro's diversity program, striving for academic excellence and having successful enrollment management. During her first state of the college address this year, Kaplan also touched on such controversial issues as tenure and the public's dismal view of the state of higher education. As for tenure, Kaplan said the college's policy is, "if you don't earn it, you won't get it." Kaplan told the audience that parents believe the cost of a college education is

out of reach and that legislators are wary of higher education's accountability and commitment to students and the community. She also said employers are losing faith in the ability of colleges to prepare future graduates for the work force. ''These, my friends, are the emerging images of higher education," she said. "So why am I optimistic about Metro's potential? Because Metro stands in sharp contrast to these images."

Multiculturalism, diversity, change; just buzz words of the 90s? Not to Metro President Sheila Kaplan. In the annual convocation speech she gave Sept. 5, Kaplan said 23 percent of the s~udent body, 19 percent of the faculty, 27 percent of the administrative staff and 23.6 percent of the staff at Metro are ethnic minorities. "Metro remains one of the most diverse institutions of higher education in Colorado," Kaplan said. Taking steps toward transforming Metro into an urban education prototype, Kaplan created a Diversity Management Task Force last fall, which is co-chaired by Sharon Siverts, provost and vice president of academic affairs, and Vernon Haley, vice president of student services. She charged the group with creating a diversity plan

for the college. The group's vision statement, as printed in the draft plan submitted to the president May 1, states: "Metropolitan State College of Denver is committed to support and value diversity in a climate of mutual respect, inclusion and cooperation. Diversity will be reflected in the curriculum, in all activities of the college, and in the composition of the college community." The other members of the committee include faculty, administrators and one student. Included in their report is the ethnic minority breakdown of the campus used to analyze the campus climate. Kaplan said the task force will undertake another Campus Climate Survey to determine the current status of race and gender relations. "The results will enable us to celebrate our accomplishments and addre_ss our shortcomings," Kaplan added.

Vouching for the necessity to focus on diversity is Kelly Espinoza, executive assistant to the vice president of student services. "There is a lot of diversity on campus, and sometimes they (the campus groups) clash. By spreading action among colleges, we are looking at ways to resist stress and learn how to work together," Espinoza said. Multiculturalism is a facet of the larger issue of diversity, Espinoza said. "Diversity is broader than multiculturalism. It's the way people do things, their opinions, and whether they are right or wrong. It contributes to diversity." Also included in the task ·force's survey was a poll conducted in spring 1996. According lo the report, "The campus climate does not seem to have a negative impact on students." See TASK FORCE page 7

Plain, fancy did last dance Danielle Shook The METROPOLITAN

Looks like it is time to put away the tantalizing· combination of tuxedo jacket and bennuda shorts. The Plain and Fancy Ball, an event that has taken place each spring for the past eight years and gave attendees the option of dressing plain or fancy, is no

more. It has been decided the event, sponsored by the Metro Alumni Association, will not be held this year. In years past, the ball has raised approximately $300,000 in scholarships and various academic programs. "We' re putting it on hold for a couple of years," said Nancy Munser, coordinator for special events and conferences. According to Munser, the reason for the

senate, also spoke at the convocation. "Metro has been, will be and is in the forefront of what is happening across the country," he said. He also praised the college for granting faculty something students have been fighting for themselves: flexible parking. "We are celebrating the fact that faculty can apply for in and out parking privileges," he said. Kaplan closed her speech by restating Metro's agenda: academic excellence, enrollment management, diversity and instructional technology. "In four years we will celebrate a new century and a new millennium," Kaplan said. "Between now and then, working together, we could close the gap between the potential and reality of making Metro a model of baccalaureate education. That is how I imagine Metro in the year 2000."

hold is that the association is reevaluating ways to get Metro alumni involved in activities, including the possibility of an alumni weekend to be held sometime next year. The hope is that the ball will return in a couple of years. Munser said the decision will be up to an as yet unnamed alumni director who will be in place by November.

Task force push.e s celebration of students TASK FORCE from page 5 Aiding Kaplan in her plan to ensure a "friendly" atmosphere is a proposal to fund "The World Friendship Festival," submitted by the festival carnmittee chair, speech professor Karen Kruj:>ar, director of academy of teaching excellence. According to the proposal submitted to Haley and Siverts, the festival would include educational programming, a job fair and a cultural celebration featuring ethnic foods, musicians and artists. The task force is asking for a budget of $40,000, Espinoza said. ''The primary focus. is on a celebration of students whose presence on the campus makes this urban environment such an enriched community in which to live and work," the proposal states.

SEPTEMBER 13, 1996

SGA President's perspective In the past weeks, the news has been undoubtedly about the Colorado Student Association (CSA). I am writing this letter to dispel some of the misinformation given to the MSCD students. First, CSA is a lobbying entity for students across Colorado in which we, MSCD, are current members. They represent schools on issues like tuition and financial aid, these being the foremost important issues to all students. The platform taken on by CSA is decided on by member schools such as CU Boulder, UNC and others. The platform issues are chosen based on what issues are shared by each institution. · I mention tuition and financial aid being a platform issue of CSA to make a point. Let us all remember that it is only Metropolitan State College of Denver whose students are facing a 12 percent increase in tuition over a three year period. This time frame started in 1993, at which time enrollment has been in a steady decline since. At an MSCD Student Government meeting this summer, I invited CSA to an open forum in which they were given the opportunity to inform SGA on what their organization was about and how they plan to represent us, MSCD students. When asked the question regarding the increase that only MSCD students are facing and why they, CSA, did not lobby on our behalf during the legislative session, the response was that this was a personal issue of MSCD and that CSA was not in the business of taking on personal problems of institutions, and because we, MSCD students, were the only institution in the state facing this problem. In thinking about this statement, two questions come to mind. First, if CSA is indeed an organization truly concerned about the welfare of all students, where do we fit in, or more, not fit in? Second, if CSA is a lobbying body that represents students before the legislative body of the state of Colorado, why did they refuse to go before this body and lobby against this increase. Students should know that the president of this institution went before the same legislative body as CSA is supposedly representing us to, to obtain this 12 percent increase. This is not to criticize President Kaplan, she is doing her job, CSA is in question here. During the spring '96 semester, 2 percent of MSCD students voted to maintain our membership in CSA, based on this referendum question. It stated, "Do you support the Student Government Assembly of Metropolitan State College (SGA/MSCD) continuing to fund the Colorado Student Association (CSA), a statewide student organization advocating for students interests in higher education? The current student fee of 50 cents per semester per full-time student would

N K Stephanie Stevenson continue to be assessed for a period of three years. A yes vote will not raise your student fees. Yes/no." In all reality, MSCD students at MSCD are facing more fee increases than ever before. Health center fees may increase next semester, the bond fund fee will increase. These are all student fees which are increasing. Would this question provide the most intelligent student enough information to cast an informed vote on such an issue? This question is both slanted and misleading to anyone, even the intelligent students of MSCD. Some of my compatriots will say that, well, tuition is only one issue. Well, I say that it is one issue that leads to problems in other areas. Here are some hard inqisputable facts. MSCD's tuition has increased from $1,485 in 1992 to the $1,850 per academic year since the inception of the increase. Though enrollment is up this current semester, in 1992, at the same time the increases took place, enrollment declined substantially according to the 1995-1996 MSCD Fact Book published by MSCD. Who does one suppose will subsidize this loss of income for this institution? MSCD students will pay!!! · You chose me as your representative. Therefore, sitting idly by while outside entities march onto our campus and demand a check, money from our pockets, to (not represent us), is not an option I am willing to except. Can we, MSCD students, afford to not question CSA. Are we prepared to perhaps incur other expenses like this tuition increase. How many of us will be able to come up with the additional demand on our pockets for money we should not have to "shell out" in the first place? Can we, MSCD students, take on the burden of "MIA" students? Should we have to make up for the loss of revenue because enrollment is down? If this continues to happen, this downward swing in enrollment, all of us will have to come up with it or drop out like the many students we have already lost because they could not afford the increasing cost of their higher education. My proposal to the MSCD students is not to sever our ties with CSA, but to place them on probation for their mistaken decision not to represent us on this decision, costing students their pursuit of higher education. Granted

students voted on this issue as well as myself, however I ask that we all question the vote. In regards to your favorable vote on CSA during the spring 1996 semester, I don't believe that ·1 have disregarded your statement, I simply doubt that students knew of CSA anymore than I realized who they were. Some education is this issue, isn't it. Additionally, I would like to make very clear to MSCD students that whatever decision is made by you, will not effect your being represented in the areas of tuition and/or financial aid. I say this because some may want to use. this scare tactic to sway your decision on our membership with CSA. Lobbying has no effect on the amount of tuition and financial aid received by any institution, as it is based upon the availability of funds. Insuring that our voice is heard is the responsibility of SGA and this administration plans to insure that this happens. CSA has one opportunity to prove their loyalty to MSCD students. The legislative body re-convenes in November, at which time, President Kaplan will go before them to ask for the 3rd part of this tuition increase. Will CSA rise to the occasion and do the $12,000 job of lobbying on behalf of MSCD students or will they be absent as they were for the past two years when this took place? One has to question who CSA is really supporting. The question raised in this article is more important to consider than membership in a club that's making us sick.

It became obvious Metro might be in need of some education. The college assigned a task force in 1996 to investigate the climate of the campus toward gay, lesbian and bisexual students, and it resulted in the creation of the tri-institutional Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Srudent Services. · Karen Bensen, the coordinator of the program, says Auraria is a generally open and accepting campus toward bisexual and homosexual students. "Of course we experience small pockets of trouble and some individuals may have problems with our department, but overall it's a great campus, and the administration is very supportive," she says. Bensen admits to having seen tougher times, especially when the task force initially investigated events on 'the campus. "Students encountered more problems

Tog~ther the two groups organized the Auraria team for the annual AIDS Walk, part of their effort to be active in the community as a whole. "We received a lot of help from other departments on campus," Bensen says. "Last year we were the third largest group in the walk, and we raised $6,000." Bensen considers Auraria a safe campus for gay, lesbian and bisexual students, and that's how she'll be promoting it in a new program this fall called "Come Out To Auraria." Local ·gay, lesbian and bisexual high school students will be invited to visit the campus on National Coming Out Day on Oct. 1I. The event is one of many scheduled for the campus during October's Gay, Lesbia·n and Bisexual History Month. So every college has a department like GLB, right? Wrong. Auraria's GLB program is one of thirty of its kind across the country. Only two exist in Colorado, the other being at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Network .helps students settle disputes Some people refer to college as the good ol' days, but sometimes college is a place that spawns problems people never thought they would have to face. Fortunately, a new organization is trying to keep the good ol' days from becoming a nightmare. The Student Problem Action Network (SPAN) is a team of trained faculty and students that advises students on ways to overcome problems that may surface during a student's college career. "There are so many people on campus there is bound to be miscommunication," says Tara Tull, coordinator of Women's Services at Met~o. Miscommunication between faculty and students is one of the areas SPAN focuses on by scheduling mediation sessions between students and teachers to try and work out any conflicts they are having. Sitting in a room face-to-face and confronting a problem with a teacher is just one of an endless list of stresses that eat away at college students. The staff of SPAN consists of 15 advisers who have been trained in conflict resolution. Advisers will assist students in their problemsolving process, but "the students are actually going to solve their own problems," Tull says. About 40 Metro students have used the SPAN program, said Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen , dean of student life. She added that SPAN is not allowed to release the names of any students who come to it for help. You can contact SPAN at 556-3559 or 556-8441.

CROSSING THE BRIDG mages from the Chicano community are taking over the Metropolitan Stat'e College Center for the Visual Arts. ''Reencuentros/Reencounters" serves as an opportunity to get to know Chicano art or get reacquainted with it. All artists in the event are of Latino heritage and take part to celebrate their culture and traditions. Echoing images of life in the Chicano community and drawing attention to cultural icons, the collection of work demands the viewer take pause and try to cross the bridge between cultures. The show features artists from the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest. Vivid colors and symbols jump out and bring viewers into the 3-D art of Patty Ortiz, who received a master's in fine arts from the University of Texas and now lives in Denver. The imagery in her work, derived from her community, illustrates the meaning of life as a Chicano. "What they (non-Chicano people) don't get is the amount of experience that comes from my history that is a culmination of that past," she says, using gestures to illustrate her point. She explains her work reflects the notion of being between cultures, "the edge of difference and similarity." She says her works are excerpts of the experiences of people. "Each work is part of a process. We come from family experiences, so what we do is very personal," she says, pointing to all of the art in the gallery. She says the difference between Chicano art and traditional art is that "our work is literally-about our lives. Through it we have been allowed to keep our culture." Another Chicana artist, Delilah Montoya, a photographer from Albuquerque, N.M., went to the University of New Mexico, where she earned her master's in fine arts. She says she

one's culture. Maruca Salazar graduated from UCD with a master's in education and has been teaching for 17 years in Denver Public Schools. Currently she teaches middle school. Her portion of the exhibit is a 3-D interpretation of two virgins and a goddess. "I like wood. I take traditional techniques and transfer them into contemporary messages for young girls," she says. Her series is called "Saint of My Devotion." The virgin is the cultural legacy of a mixed race, she says, adding that the goddess belongs to the past but is a part of the present. Her image is for young women so they can recognize their power and control. This importance needs to be reaffirmed for young women, she stresses. "I have been deeply involved in my community. I believe in investing in our youth or we will be in trouble. I invest in my community." Carlos Fresquez, who was born and raised in Denver, also is very active in the Chicano community. He teaches drawing and painting at Metro and will teach a contemporary Chicano art class in the spring. His paintings are very straight forward but challenge the viewer to identify the icons represented and question the associations you have with them. He says he wants his work to cause people to stop, look, study and decipher. "Chicano art is probably the most American," he says, adding that his parents settled in Santa Fe in 1678. The spirit that he lives by is to give back to the community, and the intention of his philosophy is to always have integrity and "compassion in whatever I do in no matter what I do." He recalls that "in art school, I was taught 'art for art's sake.' In Chicano art, it is art for humanity's sake and to always have consideration for community." Chicano art is another slice of Americana, Fresquez says.

parade of over l 0,000 people, carrying banners of remembrance and promise, strided through City Park on Sunday to help overcome the AIDS epidemic. Marion Hays, a volunteer for the event, AIDS Walk Colorado, said she didn't mind spending her Sunday donating time to help AIDS research. "I knew a young man in the early 80s that died and had a r«?ally hard time with AIDS, and after watching him go through it all , I'll do what I can to help," Hays said with a hopeful smile. The parade started at -IO a.m. from Chessman Park and went to City Park then back, raising the most money ever - $1 .2 million - to benefit the Colorado AIDS Project. The wa1k ended around 12 p.m. This is the fourth year the Auraria Campus had a team join the AIDS Walk Colorado. "Last year we doubled the attendance (of Auraria participants) from the year before," says Billi Mavromatis, a campus event planner and health educator for the Student Health Center on the Auraria Campus. Mavromatis says this year's atten-

dance for the Auraria Campus was around 200. "Last year Auraria raised $6,200, but I think we have more people who seem to be coming in groups this year," Mavromatis said.

Even a strong defense could not save the Metro volleyball team last weekend as the Roadrunners lost three of four matches on their home court at the 1996 Colorado Premier Challenge Volleyball Tournament. Metro lost 1-3 (0-15, 13-15, 15-8, 5-15) against the University of Northern Colorado on Friday as the team was unable to battle UNC's fierce attacks in all but one game. Senior K e r r y Beidleman, setter, led the Roadrunners in digs (17) and sets, (26). Blockers Judy Glassman, junior, and freshman Janaina Peruzzo had five blocks each . The following Saturday, Metro played a full day, with three more matches, winning only the first one against Ferris State, 3-1 (16-14, 10-15,

Metro went on a 10-0 run. Sophomore Corey Hostetler, back row, said there were no heroes in t~at game. "We were working together, we didn't have any particular individual stand out," she said. The second game loss was due to "a lot of stupid, silly errors - things we could have prevented," Hostetler said. I "I was really happy about the way we did," said Metro head coach Joan McDermott. "Our defense is getting better and better all the time." McDermott said Hoyt led the team with 14 digs. "I hate seeing the ball hit the ground," Hoyt said. She said that against Ferris, "we were doing the right things and they were carrying over to the next game." Against North Dakota State, however, Metro allowed nine unanswered points to begin the first game, which it lost, 4-15. Metro took control of the second game, winning 15-11. Metro had a chance to win game three but failed to capitalize at game point. NDSU won 14-16. Deflated, the Roadrunners waited until NDSU had racked up 12 points before they put their lone point on the board. Metro lost the match 1-3. Senior Katie Ritter, setter, said the team was let down by losing game three after being ahead . "As a team ... we need to be more mentally tough," Hoyt said. "We need to let things go and play."

The team is headed for conference competition next week, when the Roadrunners travel to Grand Junction and Gunnison to face Mesa State and Weste<rn State, respectively.

Mesa State, entering with a strong pre-conference record, returned all their starters from last year, McDermott said. She said the defense is strong, the team is blocking and digging well. The

The Metro men's soccer team lost two games in Oklahoma and dropped to a record of 1-2 last weekend. Metro lost Friday's .match against Southern Nazarene University 2-4 in overtime. "We should have put that game away in regulation," said freshman midfielder Amos Spencer. "We played well in spots," said Head Coach Brian Crookham, who added that the team struggled with organization in the midfield.He said Metro created opportunities to score but failed to capitalize. Defender Chris Johnson and midfielder Maher Kayali scored Metro's two goals. Crookham said that although the official NCAA statistics said SNU had more shots on goal, Crookham said, "I know for a fact we outshot Southern Nazarene." On Saturday, Oklahoma City University beat Metro 2-1. OCU's go-ahead goal came off the head of a Metro player. Midfielder Mazen Kayali scored Metro's only goal. OCU's other goal also was a head shot. An OCU player, however, knocked that goal in. The OCU game was played on a smaller field and OCU gave the Roadrunners a defensive look they hadn't encountered yet. According to Crookham, Metro had trouble adjusting. "Oklahoma did a good job packing it in defensively," Crookham said. Against OCU, Crookham said, the reserves stepped in and played well. "We were very happy with the play of Stephen Babby on Saturday," said Crookham. Babby, a sophomore reserve goalkeeper, started Saturday. Babby himself gave a Jot of credit to reserve defender Scott Gardner, saying Gardner played solid defense. 'The little things didn't go our way," said defender Kirk Ellsworth, sophomore. Sophomore forward Jeff Swander said the road trip helped to improve the young See SOCCER page 17

METROPOLITAN

Broncos could clinch ~ the Superbowl gold Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

"You're crazy, Dave!" That's what all my friends tell me ? every time we get into a discussion on this year's Superbowl prospects. No, I'm not one of those freaks who painted his car, house, wife and dog blue and orange; I just know which team is going all the way. Now, before you :-'. go off showing this column to your friends and proclaiming me to be just this side of cpmpletely off my rocker, please allow me to explain myself and why I think the Broncos are going to hit the big one this season. Reason I: The coaching staff. We ..._. possess one of the best coaches in the NH.. in Mike Shanahan. He has a relationship wi~ quarterback John Elway that is cohesive and, as we've already seen, effective. In addition, Shanahan already has proved he has the necessary championship mettle. Reason 2: The defense. The always tough Denver secondary is in top form, and any quarterback looking to air the pigskin out is going to think twice before he releases. The trenches are filled to ~ overflowing weight capacity, and the linebackers are more mobile than ever. And

the hitting! These guys are hitting harder than the days of Randy Gradishar and Lyle Alzado! Look for a lot of injuries on the other side of the ball this season. Reason 3: The offen~e. Elway has the strongest gun in the NH.., but the problem has been finding guys to hang onto the bullet. This set of guys can. Shannon Sharpe is looking healthy and reliable, and Anthony Miller is at the tQp of his game. Even Elway said his only problem this year is going to be trying to give the ball to everyone. Reason 4: Okay, the weakest link right now is special teams, but that's about to turn around as the lack of organization on the field in this area is cleared up. The kicking is strong, and within two weeks, kickoff returners will be smothered. Also, Bronco kickoff returns will be big. Reason 5: Heart. After watching a young upstart hockey team march right in here and grab a championship, the Broncos got a shock to the base of the spine. They're h'ungrier than ever and playing more like a team than just a unit individual talents. They won't be stopped. I'm predicting a lucky 13-3 season, with the NH.. championship rings landing in their pockets.

#Elway has the strongest gun in the NFL, but the problem has been finding guys to hang onto the bullet."

John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN FLASHBACK: Metro midfielder Maher Kayali races for the ball in last week's Metro 3-0 shut-out over USC.

Soccer team still looking forward to winning season SOCCER from page 16 team. Swander put the Joss into perspective, saying "it is better that (the road losses) happened early in the season" than later in the season. "We are three games into a 20-game season ... with seven new starters," Crookham said. "I have total confidence in those guys ... we'll do fine."

"It was fun stopping in Bob Dole's hometown (Russell, Kan.)," said Ellsworth, chuckling. He called it the highlight of the long drive to Oklahoma. Crookham expects the 'Runners to be completely healthy for the first time this season when they play their next opponent, Regis University. "I expect Regis to come out very hard, very hungry and confident," he said.
