College G·OP pushes. gay out UCO student says Republicans discouraged his.participation Jesse Stevenson The METROPOLITAN A University of Colcmdo at Denver student quit the College Republicans because he said they blocked him from becoming an active member of the club because he is gay - despite some Republicans' insistence that membership is open to everyone. The Republicans are in the midst of a legal battle with Metro after refusing to sign a statement pledging they will not discrim'inate on the basis of sexual orientation - and they recently have added an amendment to their constitutional bylaws stating members cannot promote "immoral acts" such as homosexuality. Gay students who have attempted to join the Republicans say discrimination within the club precludes the amendment. Darin Raaf, a former officer for the UCD chapter of the College Republicans, said he believes other members prevented him from fulfilling his duties as an officer in the club because he is gay, although they initially encouraged his membership. The Auraria College Republicans paid his joining dues, which were less than $5, in fall 1995, to show they tolerated homosexuals, Raaf said. "It was my understanding that I was the token gay person," he said. In a Feb. 10 letter to The Metropolitan former College Republican Chairman Nate Hall stated the club is accessible to any student. "The College Republicans do not discriminate against gays. We are open to all students who wish to join the club. However, we are a political club. Our purpose is not to coddle and make students feel good," Hall stated. Like Raaf, Donnita Wong, the president of the UCD Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and · Transsexual

Alliance and a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative Republican, said a College Republican member encouraged her to join. But Wong said he felt the other members were too hostile. Jeremy Batterman, the National Secretary of the College Republicans, said homosexuality is a threat to the club's pro-fantily message and will not be tolerated. He said meaning any student can· become a member as long as they do not reveal they are gay. "To me, one's sexuality is their own business," Batterman said. ''The minute they make it my business, that's a problem." While he was never kicked out for being op~nly gay; Raaf said other College Republicans intentionally gave him incorrect information about the times and locations of meetings and events, even though he was treasurer of the club. "Any opportunities to participate were precluded," he said. "I believe special meetings were kept from me and regular meetings were kept fairly hush-hush." Raaf, 30, a longtime registered Republican, said no members ever asked him why he did not attend meetings, and he often found out they were held the previous day. Batterman ·said it is not uncommon for people to skip meetings, and it is likely no one found Raaf's absence unusual. "You can't hold people's hands and make them come to meeti~gs," Batterman said. Raaf, who after 18 years as a fiscal conservative Republican, changed his party affiliation during this year's presidential primaries, said he is not bitter about his stint with the College Republicans. But he said he registered as a Democrat because he found the party's social platform more palatable.

sites, Rabouin said. But when Rabouin looked at the page again, he discovered Stong "still has nigger jokes and other things on it." The main subject matter of Stong's page deals with UCD's multicultural requirement. The classes that make up the multicultural curriculum are under the influence of today's modern liberal establishment, Stong said on his home page. He goes on to say that the nation's educational establishment is one of the greatest contributing factors responsible for the U.S. migration toward socialism. But these statements are timid compared to the blatant racial attacks toward "non-whites" on the hot links that are accessible from Stong's page. The Stonnfront White Nationalist Resource page has numerous commentaries on the necessity of a "white nation" due to "non-whites" trying to suppress the whites into submission and interbreeding, leading to . extinction of the white race. "The white nation is about 20 years in the future. When the entire U.S. becomes like southern California, then it (the white nation) will happen almost automatically." UCD's disclaimer pertaining to "personal pages" on Web sites states that the opinions presented are those only of the person named, and that individual is responsible for the pages' content. The fact that faculty members are challenging the content of Stong's home page directly contradicts the disclaimer, which gives the page designer ultimate control over the content.

"The Nigger Joke Center," ''The New Jersey Skinheads Page" and "The Stormfront White Nationalist Resource Page" are a few of the links accessible from University of Colorado at Denver student Mike Stong's Web site, which Stong created using UCD's school server. The First Amendment protects students who have Web sites from being censored for writing on controversial subjects. · But some faculty at UCO believe Stong has HATE SPEECH OR SELF-EXPRESSION?: The stepped way over the line of free speech with Web page shown above greets students when swastikas and White Pride emblems on his Web site. they look at UCD student Mike Stong's page, "There are certain guidelines," UCD Director of which he created on the school's server.

"It is like a hostage situation, where he is holding the Web page over our heads," Saiz said. "(Greene) did this, not only to me, but the students who need this," Stevenson

said, referring to the teacher evaluations and student information posted on the home page. She said she resents Greene holding the page over her head - she compared it to blackmail - because Greene originally volunteered to do it as a service to the students. Greene said he was suckered. "You don't get free milk from a cow that you don't own," he said. "I don't believe he was committed to resolving the situation but turning it into a fiasco and publicity for himself," Stevenson said.

The accreditation process, Khandeker said, depends on three things: The school's mission, the intellectual contributions of the staff and the quality of the curriculum. "The AACSB committee has questions that need to be resolved regarding these issues that require further research," Khandeker said. "A school cannot be run by a dean or an associate dean. Faculty and staff must have ownership in the pro. gram and different processes," Khandeker said. Timetables for the visit were set three years ago, but Metro was unable to gather the necessary staff and faculty to fully answer the questions of the AACSB, he said.

LINEUP: Graffiti artists explain the finer points of their pastime to a group in the Tivoli last Tuesday. The artists in the foreground are joined by debate organizer Amy Haimerl and APS officer Kelly Casias.

Graffiti. artists join debate Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

Graffiti - scurrilous vandalism or renaissance movement? That question was the focus of a panel discussion at the Tivoli on Tuesday during another installment of the Towering Issues forum series being put together by Metro's student activities office. The panelists consisted of Auraria Public Safety Officer Kelly Casias; Dave Deforest Stalls, who is the director of "The Spot," an alternative hangout for at-risk youth; and five graffiti artists. The artists: Scribe, Mope, Feud, Jer and '.leezo, fielded questions from the audience and tried to explain what they do and why they do it. "It's rfry way of expressing myself,"

Scribe said. The artists contended the work they do is urban art and part of the hip-hop counterculture. They drew the distinction between "tagging," which basically is a signature, or "advertisement," as Jer put it, and a "piece," which is a mural that takes the collective work of a group of artists or "crew." "Tagging is more of a disgrace," Scribe said. "Most of us do legal pieces and don't run all over bombing (painting) the city." The collective group of ragtag paint sprayers agreed that a lot of them turned to the Zulu nation (a segment of the hip-hop See GRAFFITI page 7

Board reviews bus pass Brigett L. Camarena The METROPOLITAN Curt Wiedeman, director of auxiliary and business services of Auraria, presented the 1996-97 budget at the Auraria Board of Directors meeting on Sept 9 to discuss increasing expenditures and decreasing revenues. There were a few concerns discussed and one in particular was the RTD bus pass program. Students are paying $11.50 each in student fees for the bus pass program, and students who purchased ID's will be able to ride the bus with their valid sticker. This, however, may be the last year for this program. If students decide to vote to renew the program for next year then the bus pass program could increase to more than $15.41 in student fees. Auraria has a subsidy grant of half of the $800,000 that the buspass program, which covers the difference allowing students to only have to pay $11.50 in student fees for the program. Next year the grant ends and students will have to pay the total amount of the original cost for the bus pass program. "Not enough students are using their bus pass, which could mean (students) aren't aware that student ID's could be used for a bus pass," Wiedeman said. 'The original rate now depends on enrollment," he said. April Cruz-Hernandez, a student and board member, said, "we will be doing a survey for each institution on Auraria to find out if students want to vote in the RTD bus pass program." The surveys she referred to are under-

way by the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. Some professors are handing out the surveys to their students. The bus pass program is not the only factor that may increase student fees. Revenues decreased at the Tivoli because of unstable leasing tenants, and the book center made $281,377 compared to estimated amount of $438,966 - $157,589 less than expected. This is in part due to the storm two weeks ago that destroyed over 300 books and damaged many others, which then had to be marked down in value to be sold. An increase in security at the book center because of theft also has affected the budget, Hernandez said. In the budget planning there also was a consideration to increase parking rates because the parking program ends this year, and Lot G soon will be the new classrooms/arts facility. "Program reductions are at their limit, and it will be imperative to look into possible revenue solutions to long term stability in this fund," Wiedeman said The Auraria campus budget has $963,047. However, with the completion of the Plaza Building, the new classroom/arts facility expected to be finished by 1999, and more operational expenses to be paid, the board is looking at the possibility of a debt by the year 2000. The state !egislature does not cover operational or maintenance expenses, so there could be an increase in student fees in order to cover a $182,575 debt expected by 2000. The fees will increase every year thereafter if additional revenues aren't found, Wiedeman said.

Graffiti artists , avoid gangsÂˇ GRAFFITI from page 5 culture) and art for an outlet, rather than getting involved with gangs. "It's better to spill a bucket of paint than to spill a bucket of blood," Mope said. An older woman in the audience asked how people can differentiate between gang tags and artists' work. "Gangs cross out letters like C's or B's and use more of a slanted form of lettering," :leezo said. "It's all seen the same in the eyes of the law," Casias said. Besides being stereotyped along with America's more violent youth, another problem the artists face is police crackdowns. "Even when we've had permission of the building owners to be there, the cops harass us," Scribe said. 'They pick us up and beat us down."

"We spend over $50,000 a year cleaning up graffiti at Auraria," Casias said. Stalls said a way to help the problem would be to provide more legal places to paint. "Most of the walls at 'The Spot' are covered with murals, and they just look incredible," Stalls said. "There aren't enough legal places to paint. As laws have been passed against graffiti they've forgotten to pass opportunities." Which is why, the artists say, society doesn't accept them. "I was on a radio show a couple of weeks ago," Jer said. "The guy asked me 'how would you feel if I came into your house and painted on your stereo and trash cans.' I said, 'fine, just don't paint over my work, cause it's already on my stereo and trash cans."'

Job fair targets minorities FAIR from page 3 ties. They discussed how to improve the hiring and retention of the American Indians and Hispanics. 'The reason we picked Hispanic and American Indian students," Gallegos said, "is that they have the highest dropout rate at high school." "They don't link up with their employers, they don't take corporate positions and for the most part they don't get involved in internships," he said.

Gallegos is trying to make the job fair an annual event on the Auraria Campus. "So, this is like a pilot project in Denver at Auraria to see if we can get participation," said Ron Lujan, director of Career Services, which along with Student Services ccrsponsored the job fair. "By the looks of today, it should go on again next year."

OPINION

Pathetic presidents make me sick Is anybody awake in zombie land? Ladies and gentleman, would you please turn your modular adjustment units from "automaton" to "active." Thank you, we may now continue. Sheila Kaplan, Metro's improved technology 2000 presidential model, was given a positive ratings boost by The Metropolitan last week. Travis Henry reported that Kaplan said, "Metro must focus on improving teaching through technology, continuing Metro's diversity program, striving for academic excellence and having successful enrollment management." What?! - Whose ears was that meant for? Maybe the big money board, but who on this campus does Kaplan think she's talking to? How about: "Metro must focus on actually educating its students." I firmly believe technology, with which Kaplan seems so impressed, is kitling' education. Also, I thought Metro was a college, not a budding vocational school. Once upon a time, I had a fantasy about growing up and going to college in order to study humanities. It's what I grew up reading about. No place for those kinds of things anymore, though; I guess I missed out. Did you ever have a fantasy like this, you know, the one in which you actually grow to become an enriched human being who understands at least something about the care of the soul? Or has everyone turned junky on me and fallen in love with simulation and jargon? Trisha McCarty reported: "Multiculturalism, diversity, changes: just buzz words of the 90s? Not to President Sheila Kaplan." Kaplan, you make me want to vomit. Everything is sound bytes and buzz words nowadays. Who is kidding who? We love how those words just slide off our tongues like a catchy tune. Hey! Someone get me a coke, 'cause Kaplan and I would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. Everyone smile and go back to sleep. Why was the issue of job stability for teachers given such a backhanded comment as: "If you don't earn it, you won't get it." I am sure there are profes-

Noms sors at Metro with undeserved tenure status; this comment, though, seems more an insult directed at the teachers who aren't slackers. At any rate, I'd like to know what Kaplan has earned lately other than a fat lawsuit. ENOUGH! I would like to ask Stephanie Stevenson, our SGA president, a question. Where did you learn how to write a sentence? (The correct answer, as ironic as it might be, is: not at Metro.) Stevenson wrote in her editorial last week: ''Though enrollment is up this current semester, in 1992, at the same time the increases took place, enrollment declined substantially according to the 1995-96 MSCD Fact Book published by MSCD. Who does one suppose will subsidize this loss of income for this institution? MSCD students will pay!!!" First, allow me to praise Stevenson on her poetic use of that wonderful word ''this." Second, the only thing Metro students currently need to worry about paying for is the Excedrin we will all need after wading through the manure slung at us from the presidents of the student body and administration. As president of the SGA, Stevenson should be ashamed for not having proper English skills. -And I am not picking on one or two mistakes. Please, read the editorial for yourselves; it is a mess. Stevenson complains that only 2 percent of the students voted to maintain membership with the CSA. True as this statement may be, she neglects to

realize that only a majority of that same 2 percent voted for her to become president. How many votes did you get, Stephanie? 50? Maybe, 75? Metro has to bribe its students to vote by giving away free pizza. Don't get carried.away. The only way anybody is going to get to know who you are is by what you print in The Metropolitan. And as far as introductions go, I am sure we are all impressed. (Don't think I'm through either; some of us will be concerned with everything that you say as a representative of the student body.) The only misinformation being delivered to students that Stevenson should be concerned with comes directly from the conservative excuse for a campus caucus, "the ticket to empowerment." Whose empowerment are you concerned with? Why do you want to complain about student fees that almost equal fifty cents per semester? Why not speak about important issues? (i.e.: Library budget cuts: I would be happy to pay more money a semester for my education if the school would update our library, allowing students the chance to actually research ideas.) Stephanie, I do not believe that you have nerve enough to complain about a yearly college tuition that is less than $2,000 per year. Metro's tuition is well below the national norm, well below. Well, since everyone seems into sound bytes.. Here are two quick notes: 1. Stop whining about parking, and ride the bus. 2. For all you pseudo-liberals: slacker P.C. protesters: Domino's pizza, which is doing a booming business in the Tivoli, is a corporation that supported Amendment 2 and has given large sums of cash to Operation Rescue. Remember, an effective way to make your voice heard (to vote) is with your dollar bills. O.K. You can now switch back to "automaton" mode- Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! -Gary Norris is a Metro senior

"Ticket" should try to empower The MSCD Student Government Assembly needs to be in the business of empowering their constituency (the students at MSCD), so that all students have the skills, experience, and aptitudes to evaluate their own unique academic growth in the environment that is the Auraria Higher Education Center. The academic culture at MSCD should be one that is based on rigor and fairness, mixed ·with healthy dosages of equity and common sense. MSCD should not be ir:i the business of protecting poor teaching, inept advising, mis-matches in hiring, or questionable evaluation procedures formulated by a selfserving faculty or administration whose prime motivation is the sovereignty of the ego and continued employment. MSC D's Empowerment Student Government needs to discourage the administrative and pedagogical practices at MSCD which encourage passivity, victimhood, silencing, and the infamous "status quo." If students do not learn to question that which is going on around them, then, what good is education, other than the procuring of a document? Student Government must work. to make sure that students do not lose faith in , the educational process. The very essence of democracy is at stake. The power of professors and administrators at any college is awesome. Some realize the concomitant responsibility, most do not. MSCD must forego its creeping elitism, the turf battles which harm students, and the inherent academic conservatism which has prevented the college from moving onto a 21st century educational mode. At MSCD we continue to argue about multiculturalism, divers~ty, global education, technology, standards, fairness, and, sadly, we seldom discuss what constitutes good teaching and/or what a quality education should be at an urban campus. Most of these discussions have been going on for over twenty-five years! Those of us who teach, preach, and administrate at MSCD must turn loose of power, illusions, turf, elitism, condescension, inequitability, and the attitude that being a "professor" (full or part-time) bestows upon one the right to tr~at students as lesser human beings. Reality needs to meet rhetoric. Dr. Charles Angeletti Faculty Advisor to MSCD Student Government

Ten years later, after chemotherapy and emotional healing, she travels the country speaking to breast cancer survivors. "In order to heal we must choose to feel the feelings associated with having a life threatening illness," she told a group of women at the ll)verness Hotel, in a spee~h sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation on Sept. 12. LaTour used her skills as a journalist to interview 120 women and chronicle their experiences in the book, The Breast Cancer Companion: From

"From the day we first hear the words (that we have cancer), we have a series of choices that are going to determine how we live and perhaps how we die with breast cancer," she said. "There is no right or wrong, only your way." To heal, medical treatment must be combined with emotional treatment, LaTour said. A professor at Southern Methodist University, she has been instrumental in her community in forming support groups. She joined Komen, a group that educates women about healthy behaviors and early de~ tion, and became an advocate for women with breast cancer to share her experience with the women who come after her.

He also played with the Russian National Orchestra as their first-chair clarinet. Playing with these two orchestras gave him the opportunity to travel. He toured nearly everywhere in the world, including all 50 U.S. states and numerous foreign countries. His first solo tour came at age 22, during which he garnered several prestigious international music awards along the way. A fan of sculpture and painting, he would seek out museums in the foreign countries he traveled to with the orchestra. However, he seldom had the time to enjoy them.

t1'n.ion. fter 30 years beer is once again being brewed at the Tivoli. But it isn 't the same mass production process as before, said Joe Michael, brewmaster at the Tivoli Brewery Company, in operation since December 1995. The Tivoli was originally opened by Moritz Sigi under the name of Colorado Brewing Company in 1864, according to Neal Hatgi, historical consultant to the Tivoli Brewery Company. In 1879 it was sold to Max Melsheimer who called it the Milwaukee Brewery Company, Hatgi said. In 1900 the name Tivoli Brewery was first used by owner John Good, who named the brewery after the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. But in 1901, after a merger, the name was changed Lo TivoliUnion Brewing Company, Hatgi said. After prohibition the Tivoli was one of only five breweries in Colorado to reopen, and the brewery stopped operations for good in April of 1969 until the new Tivoli Brewery Company opened in 1995, Hatgi said. The Tivoli has gone the way of current trends, and a micro or craft brewery has opened, using the old Tivoli name and label style, but all the recipes are new, Michael said. There are three different classifications of breweries: A craft brewery is one that~s less than 15,000 barrels of beer each year, a regional brewery such as New Belgium brewery produces 15,000 to 500,000 barrels each year and corporate breweries brew more than half a million barrels each year, Michael said.

anything that is not grain, water or hops. The mixture is called wort, which is boiled and then sent through a heat exchanger to cool. The beer then goes to the primary fermentation tank where yeast is added. The yeast converts the fermentable sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, giving the beer its flavor. Yeast can be cultured specifically for brewing, just as it can for bread or winemaking. The beer . remains in the primary fermentation tank for seven to 28 days, depending on the variety. Ales take less time to ferment than lagers. An ale will ferment for seven to 14 days and a lager takes 14 to 28 days. "The raspberry ale only takes five days to ferment, but I like to leave it in the tank for a couple more days for better flavor," Michael said. During this time the yeast reproduces and disperses throughout the fermenting beer, completing the process. The beer is then moved from the primary tank to a secondary or conditioning tank where it is carbonated, conditioned and is then ready for packaging. All beer taps at Club America and the Tivoli Brewery Restaurant are attached to 600-gallon beer tanks in the brewery. The rest of the beer is packaged in 12- and 22-ounce bottles, 15.5-gallon kegs and 31-gallon beer barrels. The Tivoli Brewery Company brews 11 different varieties of beer, including Raspberry Wheat Ale, Peach Lager, Amber Ale, Stout, Light Lager, Fine Lager, Extra Special Bitter, Honey Brown Lager, Porter, and two 3.2 percent varieties, Peach Ale and Amber Ale. The Tivoli Brewery Restaurant and Club America are located at the northwest corner of the Tivoli Student Union.

There will be 1.5 million breast cancer survivors by the year 2000 if .the rate of diagnosis continues at one-in-eight women. Although African American women have a lower rate of diagnosis, they have a higher incidence of death from breast cancer. African American women usually are diagnosed a full stage later than Caucasian women, said Dr. Douglas K. Rovira in a panel discussion following LaTour's speech. "This is either because of genetic programming or they are not screened properly," he said. "There are income factors as well as race." "It's important to .spread the word to African American women," said Wilma J.

Webb, who is the honorary chair for the 1996 Race for the Cure, which the foundation organizes. The average age of diagnosis is 60. However, LaTour said she encountered a 14-year-old with breast cancer. Women 50 years and older should take precaution to detect breast cancer, according to information presented by the foundation. The most important is to follow the three-step approach to breast health: • Conduct a monthly breast selfexamination. • See a health care professional regularly for a clinical breast examination. • Get a screening mammogram. The Race for the Cure will be held Oct. 6, at Denver Civic Center Park. The race benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer ~oundation.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers She's the One soundtrack Warner Bros.

Dig Defenders of the F****** Universe Radioactive Records

Dig sounds like every other alternative (to what?) band on the radio today. The songs on the album mainly revolve around taking illegal drugs - "Little Pill," ''Mood Elevator," - and angst "Whose Side Are You On," "Bashing in Your Head." This is not bold, new or interesting ground to cover in music, and the band does it poorly. Apparently the music industry is giving out recording contracts like candy these days. As long as you wrote bad poetry about girls in high school and know how to pout while holding a guitar you are eligible for one. The name on the cover and side of this album is Defenders of the Universe, but the band slyly added the F-word to the name on the disk itself. I realize that on the surface this appears to be a bold and innovative way to flip-off "the Man," but I fear that this was done out of concern that Kmart and Wal-Mart wouldn't carry the album with a curse word on the cover.

Over the past 20 years Tom Petty's work has been among the most consistent of America's artists. Although he hasn't released any genuinely classic albums, he also hasn't released any stinkers. This one is no different. The album starts strong with the impressive, jangly Walls (Circus), which, like many of his others songs, sounds as if the Byrds did the writing. The selections on the 15-song album are consistently average throughout. but Change the Locks, Hope You Never and California do stand out. Look out for Grew Up Fast and Hung Up and Overdue - they're super lame. - Igor Raykin

'The Godrays Film Music.2 Caroline Records

I played the song "Film Music.2" on my record player and was very happy to find a slow, grinding and pulsing beat come out of the speakers. The instrumental music had a hazy pull to it that was vaguely reminscient of the Velvet Underground's heroin heydey. It sounded like thoughtful music from thoughtful people. It was heartening to think that in this

age of bad music being mimicked by every band that comes down the pike there was a group out there that played music that, while not extremely marketable, had a new and refreshing soul to it. I then realized that the album was a 45 rpm and my record player was on 33 rpm. . I corrected the mistake and found that the album sucked. - Mike Larkin

Leftover Salmon Bluebird Theater September 13, 1996

Last Friday in the Bluebird Theater (the Colfax porno-theaterturned-concert-hall) Leftover Salmon gave a performance that could only be described as lame. The Boulder-based Salmon has a campy, Cajun jug-band sound that gets old about halfway through the first song you hear. All their songs have the same irritating poppy, happy, sing-song quality that makes you want to strangle a muppet. The songs have a Disney ring to them, but none would be quite catchy enough to make it on the "Lion King" soundtrack. The group had its own crowd of recently displaced Grateful Deadhead hippies mixed with welldressed students. It looked and felt like a cross section of Boulder.

John Gorka Between Five and Seven High Street Records

I admit it I thought this album was going to be 50 minutes of another folkie singing boring music. I was in for quite a surprise. In fact, this is one of the best new CDs I've heard all year. The 12-song album primarily revolves around Gorka's deep, resonating voice. Many of the songs feature 6- and 12string acoustic guitars, mandolin and vio-

While the tie-dyed element of the crowd bounced to the music doing their I'm-so-baked-all-1-cando-is_-bob-around-and-occasionallyshake-my-arms-i n-front-of-me dance, the well-dressed element of the crowd muscled a spot for their girlfriends to stand. It was an altogether unpleasant experience to be pinned to the wall and forced to smell the explosive mixture of patchouli and Drakar while listening to what amounted to the soundtrack to Deliverance. In the Bluebird's underage balcony young, aspiring hippies were dancing wildly, slapping their knees and looking like they were at a hoedown in Alabama rather than a concert in Denver. The concert was a bizarre backwoods experiment that you have got to have a taste for (or perhaps build up a tolerance for) to enjoy. - Mike Larkin

Jin, giving the album a bluegrass feel. Songs like "Can' t Make Up My Mind" and "Edgar the Party Man" sound as if a few musicians simply gathered on a porch and made great music. The album is just mellow enough for those slow, easy-going days and just upbeat enough to pass for driving music.

sp 0 RTs Roadrunners win one, lose one SEPTEMBER 20, 1996 n.. MFl'ROPOLITAN

Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The past two games for the Metro women's soccer team could have been one and the same as the Roadrunners started with a 1-0 advantage, let up in second half and went into overtime with the game tied 1-1 . One situation led to a heartbreak loss and the other produced a dose win. The loss came Friday against Highlands University, a team the Roadrunners dominated. Metro had 27 shots on goal to New Mexico's eight. Still, Metro Jost 2-1. Five minutes into the game Metro scored first on junior forward Shannon Wise's first goal of the season. Metro held the one-point lead until the 10 minute mark of the second half, when Highlands put a rebound in the goal. In overtime the stingy Metro defense allowed only two shots on goal, one of which, however, found its way to the net 'That goal at the end was unlucky," said sophomore midfielder Katie Pierce on a gray Friday the 13th. Metro goalkeeper Che11ie Mccourt, senior, deflected the first Highlands shot but was out of position to stop Highlands from putting in the rebound. 'Their keeper won the game," said defender A.J. Macintosh, junior. "She had awesome saves when they needed them." The Highlands goalkeeper finished with 14 ; aves, five during the overtime period, when the Roadrunners bombarded her. The Roadrunners dropped their intensity and shot production fell from l 0 in the first half to eight in the second, Head Coach E.d Montojo said. ''We definitely outplayed them; when it mattered we didn't get it in," said Tracie Mayes. In Sunday's game against the University of Southern Colorado, the Roadrunners again entered overtime tied 1-1 after leading earlier in the game. Same scenario. Different result Metro won 2-l.

The deciding goal came after sophomore midfielder Julie Ray scored off a Wise assist with nine minutes remaining in overtime. Metro scored its first goal 40 minutes into the game, when freshman forward Kari Pierce exploded past the slow USC defense and assisted freshman midfielder Dawn Mitchel, who sent it into the side of the net from 20 yards out USC came back in the second half with an unassisted goal to tie the score. Led by the outstanding defense of freshman Vicki Chong, the Roadrunners did not allow any shots in overtime. Offensively, Metro dominated the game again, 25 shots on goal to nine. The physical, aggressive play of USC took its tolJ on Metro, though, as four players were injured in the game. At least two of the injuries were the result of cheap shots from behind, Montojo said. He said the referee let the game get out of control. "When he started pulling yellow (penalty) cards, it was too late," Montojo said. Mayes, the Roadrunners' leading scorer, injured her knee. Macintosh injured her ankle and had to be earned off the field. Montojo said she was immediately taken to the hospital for X-rays. Freshman defender JenelJe Andrews suffered an injury to her knee, and Kari Pierce turned her ankle. Wise, team co-captain, said some of the injured players may miss several games. While trying to add another overtime goal, Wise was tripped from behind by a USC player who fell on her and pinned her to the turf. Wise, in turn, pummeled the player with her free arm until she was let go. "I could have done a lot worse," said the 6-foot-tall Wise. Along with physical play, USC attempted to gain a psychological edge. The Metro ~ball team - which was practicing during the game - saw the USC goalie drop a large, hairy, dead spider into the comer of the goal after the first half ended and the teams switched sides, McCourt said. 1be stoic McCourt kept the dead spider and plans on sending it back to USC.

Skyd·ivers search for ultimate high fly Eric Pierson The METROPOLITAN

You look up into the sky and realize you just fell about 12,500 feet, traveling as fast as 200 miles per hour. And not ·only are you alive; but you have just experienced the thrill of your life. At least that is what Jeff Sands thinks. Sands, 37, is president of the Mile-Hi Sky Diving Center, Inc. He has been skydiving for 11 years and has made 2,800 jumps during lhat time. "(Skydiving) is an exhilarating experience that is unlike anything you have ever done - a beautiful experience with just a hint of danger," Sands said. After being a pilot for five years Sands started· skydiving to experience more of the high speed in aviation. The jumps at Mile-Hi Skydiving Center

start at around 12,500 feet above the ground, according to Sands. Most expenenced jumpers pull their parachute at 2.500 feet from the ground, with beginners pulling theirs at 4,000 or 5;000 feet. Skydiving is the only way to fly, Sands said. "If riding in a plane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming," Sands said. The United States Parachute Association just celebrated its 50th anniversary July 4. It estimates that every year 2,000 people make their first jump every year. The best way to feel the excitement of a first jump, Sands said, is to do a tandem jump. Tandem jumps, which cost' $179, are performed with the . beginner tied to an instructor during the fall. "Some people are hesitant about having someone tied to them. But when you learn to

fly a plane, they just ·don't throw you the keys, an instructor goes with you," Sands said. Many people also worry about the safety of jumping out of airplanes, but Sands downplays the danger. "In a hang glider, if your wings fold, you fall. Climbing a mountain, if your rope breaks, you fall," Sands said. The new square chutes allow for softer landings. "Landing today is like jumping off a chair," Sands said. One safety tool is an automatic activation device that measures how low a diver is to the ground and activates the backup chute if the first parachute is not open. Sands, however, said there are more reasons to skydive than just the improved safety. "You have more appreciation for life, so you make. sure you take alr the precautions

so you can continue to dive," he said. "Skydivers have a real :zeal for life." That zeal reached new levels as he left for Russia on Sept. 17, hoping to set a world record for the largest jump, with 300 divers. Selected because of his reputation in the field, Sands joins 99 other Americans and 200 other jumpers from 25 countries in the effort. The jump takes place in Napa, a city on the Black Sea, 1,000 miles south of Moscow. Russia was chosen for the jump because it requires the use of large military transport planes - something the U.S. government would not allow, Sands said. Mile-Hi Skydiving Center Inc., 229 Airpoi;t Road, makes about 400 jumps a weekend and employs around 50 part-time instructors, Sands said. If interested in skydiving, contact MileHi Skydiving Center at 750-9711.

Soccer goes 1-1 in two road gam·es Men ·earn shut-out over Florida Southern but fall 1-5 to St. Leo

,.,.:

Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN · Friday the 13th brought unexpected luck to the Metro men's soccer team, who rousted Florida Southern University, winning 2-0. Luck ran out Sunday, however, as St. Leo College dominated them in an ugly 1-5 affair. Both Florida schools are in one of the top conferences in the nation. Metro finally put some pieces together in the FSU game, Head Coach Brian Crookham said. "We finally got our forwards into play," he said. Senior Mazen Kayali moved from the midfield and started at forward. "We were strong in the air, we were more physical than we'\!e been," Crookham said. Metro's first and deciding goal came 14 minutes into the game, when defender David Brallier, a sophomore, headed in a comer kick. "(Brallier) was just dominant in the air," Crookham said. "He's done a great job (defending) for us, and he got rewarded with a goal." Junior Maher Kayali, who launched the ball from the corner, was credited with the assist.
