Tenure turmoil: professor may:sue Faculty member derailed off tenure track after questionable removal of dossier data Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN

•

Sound of music

A Metro journalism professor says the administration unfairly removed him from the tenure track and if officials do not agree to a settlement, he will see them in court.

J.P. McLaughlin said Oct. 7 that college officials removed more than 100 pages from his dossier related to his professional development and service and then later dropped him as a tenure candidate - because he lacked sufficient documentation in areas of professional development and service.

"I am not the litigious type," McLaughlin said. "But I don't think I have been so thoroughly screwed in my life as I have been here recently, so that's what lead me to a lawyer."

Tenure is a status within higher education in which administrators must have good cause to fire a faculty member. Those without tenure can be fired without reason. The tenure process can take years and involves a faculty member's dossier moving up the chain of command for evaluation.

McLaughlin's dossier had been signed off at all levels until it reached Sharon Siverts, vice president of academic affairs.

Siverts stated in a Dec. 5 letter to McLaughlin that "especially in the areas of professional development and service, your dossier failed to document that you would meet the expectations required to eventually achieve tenure."

McLaughlin said the Dean of Letters, H young Changffhe METROPOLITAN Arts and Sciences' office removed more than Children from the Auraria Child Care Center: Sophia Pryzbylo, Hope Vogelpohl, Mallory Price, Vicki I 00 documents related to those areas before Russo and Benjamin Bush hold their ears while a Mexican band plays during the World Friendship Siverts evaluated it.

Health-fee increase discussed ......

Student health care center looking at 65% raise in rates A.Jeter The METROPOLITAN The Metro student health center wants to raise the student health fee 65 percent to maintain its current level of service, Director Steve Monaco said Thursday.

The health center has outgrown its resources, Monaco told Metro's student government, and simply cannot provide quality medical care without an increase from the current health fee of $13.75 to the proposed $21.

The center needs the money, essentially, to pay its employees, which include two full-time practicing doctors at a combined cost of about $225,000 per year, Monaco said. These doctors supervise the nurse practitioners and physician's assistants who care for the student patients as is required by state law.

The administration has hired more physician's assistants to increase access to the clinic, Monaco said, and that costs more money. He said this is essential

Voter drive nets record number of students Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

.• /

A campus-wide voter registration drive resulted in over 2,600 students registering to vote this year.

The driving force for the registration drive was Auraria Vote '96, a coalition comprised of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, a student-run activist organization, and the student governments of Community College of Denver, Metro and University of Colorado at Denver.

CoPIRG Student Organizer Joey Lyons said that although CoPIRG did most of the organization, h~ recognized the help of UCO student body president Mark Kutowy, Metro student government vice president William Coker and Kari Tutwiler, associate director of Metro student activities.

According to Lyons, the drive made it easier for students to register to vote by making registration forms available on campus. This way, Lyons said, students would not have to go to the county election office or a post office to register.

According to CoPIRG records, the 2,613 voter registration cards turned in to the Denver Election Office Monday represented a record for voter registration drives on the Auraria campus, Lyons said.

The previous record, made in 1992, was

1,900.

Since one of their goals is to promote democracy, registering student voters is an important aspect of CoPIRG, Lyons said.

"If CoPIRG doesn ' t do it, it probably won' t get done on this campus," he said.

The right to vote is taken for granted, Lyons said. "In other countries people die for the right to vote every day." ·The recent debate between retired Col. Oliver North and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, president of the National Rainbow Coalition, helped generate interest.

"We got about 150 students registered at the debate," Lyons said. He added that Jackson helped call attention to the problem of voter apathy.

In the 1992 national elections, 80 percent of the eligible voters between the ages of 18-26 did not vote, Metro student and CoPIRG member Jessie Bullock said in a letter to The Metropolitan two weeks ago.

Next on the agenda for CoPIRG is an Election Fair scheduled for Oct. 24, said Lyons. All candidates for offices in the metro Denver area will be invited to attend. Representatives for various ballot issues, as well as those opposing them, are also invited to attend.

"There are 33,000 students on this campus and we deserve to be heard," Lyons said.

Book center drops bag check to save cash Brigett L. Camarena The

METROPOLITAN

The new director of the Auraria Book Center said he is putting students first by allowing them to bring their bags into the store during the beginning of the semester.

"You feel like we trust you and you trust us," Ed Schlichenmayer, director of the Auraria Book Center said.

Last year, the Auraria Book Center had students check their bags in before entering the store, while security staff supervised.

"This has been an ongoing debate in our industry ·for some time, whether or not to let students enter the store with their bags," Schlichenmayer said.

Schlichenmayer said the bag check, done at the busy beginning of each semester, was costing the bookstore more money because they had to hire more temporary workers.

It took at least 25 to 30 employees to run the bag check, and it was not

preventing theft in the store, Schlichenmayer said.

Instead of concentrating on security measures outside the store, under the new policy the security staff could concentrate on training people to prevent theft inside the store.

"It would cost me less money in resources and prevent more theft," Schlichenmayer said.

Student and faculty satisfaction, he said, depends on customer service and will improve when students "don't feel they are being treated as criminals."

"We can then protect our losses and put more resources into other high-tech security measures like additional security staff and better use of additional equipment," Schlichenmayer said.

Schlichenmayer said he will not know if this security measure really works until June 1997 when the fiscal year budget reveals the stores profits and losses for the year.

'There are many myths and legends about this organization," he said. "The KGB's main role was to fulfill the tasks and problems of the state and provide state security and the security of the people. Every nation has such a secret service."

While Kurkov was hesitant to be too critical of his former employer, he did acknowledge that the organization had its darkest years during the late 1930s under Stalin.

The METROPOLITAN The former director of the defunct Soviet Union's secret service (KGB) visited Auraria Oct. 2 and described the KGB's role throughout the cold war and the rapid changes that have taken place in Russia.

"The world has radically changed," Lt. General Anatoli Kurkov told an audience of students and professors. "I would never think I would see a day when a KGB man could be in the Colorado state."

Communism collapsed in the Soviet Union in 1991 and the nation split up into 15 different countries.

Kurkov said that since communism collapsed in the former Soviet Union, criminal activity has dramatically risen.

He said organized crime has gripped the cities and that people fear going out on the streets at night. He said murders by contract are rampant, compared to being nonexistent 15 years ago.

recommendations that both Auraria and fac ulty could agree on, Wolf said.

Curt Wiedeman, director of auxiliary and business services of Auraria, said Minney "will be making the same as when she was director of the book store," which is $69,000 a year, and the new director of the Auraria Book Center, Ed Schlichenmayer, will be making $61 ,000 a year.

Minney was chosen director of faculty relations not only because she sent out a memo proposing this new position, but because of her nine years of experience as director of Auraria Book Center, Wolf said.

Minney has now created her own position as director of faculty relations, something she has been thinking about since 1989.

When Wolf became executive vice president for administration Minney proposed her plan to become director of faculty relations.

"I read a book on how to create your own position," and that is how she got the idea, Minney said.

Minney said now that she is director of faculty relations, "I want this to be a friendly teaching and learning environment," so she plans to conduct focus groups for faculty on campus that deal with working out problems between faculty and Auraria.

Faculty on the Auraria campus can attend the Faculty Advisory Committee Advisory Board meetings if they have any complaints about Auraria's service, Minney said.

College attorney says allegations are groundless TENURE From page 1 "I did not have access to the file until it came to me," Siverts said. "I did not ask anybody to remove anything."

Foster said in an Oct. 8 interview with The Metropolitan that the dossier contained redundant information and that she asked an employee to remove the documents only after McLaughlin agreed.

"They didn 't ask me, they told me," McLaughlin said. "She [the employee] might have put it as a question, but I didn't feel that at any time I had a choice in the matter."

Although McLaughlin said he would consider an immediate p,lacement as a tenured professor or money for damages as part of a settlement, he said money has nothing to do with his potential lawsuit.

So far, college attorney Scott Silz<?r,

who represents the administration, said he has not seen any evidence that McLaughlin has been wronged.

"It's hard for me to even comment on the likelihood of Sharon Siverts settling it or Provost/VP of going to court Academic Affairs on it," Silzer said. "The investigation that I have done indicates to me that the allegations that were made by the attorney are groundless."

Silzer said he requested that

McLaughlin tum over his dossier and other documents so he can complete his investigation.

McLaughlin said Silzer can get those documents once the case goes to civil court, saying turning them over now just gives the administration more time to trump up other reasons to deny him tenure.

McLaughlin has not yet filed a lawsuit and does not know when he will until he talks again with his lawyer.

After four years of being on the tenure track, McLaughlin had been approved through the first five levels of the tenure process until Nov. 16, when Siverts recommended he be taken off, according to an Academic Affairs document.

McLaughlin said he was told in a 1:30 p.m. meeting on Nov. 17 with department chair Deborah Hurley and Foster that if he

withdrew his dossier for consideration of tenure by 5 p.m., he would be offered a one-year contract in the same position with the same pay and benefits. If he didn' t, he would be terminated when his contract expired in May of 1996.

With only three hours to make a decision, McLaughlin withdrew his dossier, thinking he did not have any choice in the matter, he said.

McLaughlin said he did not appeal because he was overwhelmed with having been denied ten.ure and contemplating whether to sign the one-year contract, which he never did sign.

"As far as I am concerned, I didn't have an opportunity to," he said, referring to the appeal process.

McLaughlin is teaching two classes this semester under a part-time contract.

The amount of money that Metro has spent on diversity and multiculturalism has resulted in pandering to certain groups. Where are the results of all of this time and money? Has anyone seen any kind of personal understanding come from this? Student groups have not been brought together. Understanding has not improved.

To agitate the situation even more, minority assistant professors are given financial assistance in their pursuit of a terminal degree (like in criminal justice} or Ph.D. So what of the poor white guy that may fall through the cracks? This policy is a good idea in spirit, but has anyone considered how alienating this can be for a white student who wants to be a teacher?

No amount of money can make someone understand the differences in another's color or culture. No amount of legislation can preclude people from thinking or speaking in stereotypical terms about a group or race of people. This well meaning curriculum has not served students well ,even with the attempt to address their "group" affiliation.

Sheila Kaplan's attempt to bring a change has backfired on her. Students are not working together to come to consensus· or address problems_They have selected those of like mind to

Hickey Jackson surround themselves with and have drawn lines around themselves. This is how students have been taught to understand the vast differences embodied in their classmates by their multicultural classes.

A black women's sorority recently held a conference that asked the question, how will we overcome the race issue as America goes into the future. In the media discussion group the reaction was, "We need people of color as a part of the news decision making process." Yet soon after the anger fizzled out in the room, an older woman said that it starts with our personal understanding of different people.

She explained that in her neighborhood they had organized a watch

and walk program. As a result of the shared concern of violence, families of different races had the opportunity to meet and know each other as people and not just as the Hispanic family down the street.

Our campus has not had many opportunities to own up to very real issues of race or sexual discrimination.

Perhaps our student activity dollars would be better spent on discussions of student-initiated debate instead of paying for political self-promoters to sell their books.

At the recent Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual High Tea for Allies there was not one Metro Student Government representative. They claim they represent Metro as a diverse population, but is that only in color? That is what their actions have shown the college community.

Citizens have the responsibility to . hold their elected leaders accountable; even as students of this campus you are a member of a community. But accountability does not start with finger-pointing and back-biting but with individuals.

As an individual in a classroom you decide to make the effort to understand the ideas presented to you. As a student on this campus you also decide to be a part of it or you do not.

LETTERS

Consider compassion Dear Editor, Have you tried to get across campus or just down the hall of one of the buildings, only to experience people constantly walking right in front of you?

Try doing this with a guide dog, or wheelchair, much less crutches. It is very difficult to get to classes, and dodge people.

Yet to an individual that is disabled (temporarily or permanently) it is very frustrating not to mention almost dangerous.

We talk about diversity on campus; all I see are people ignoring others that don't look or act like them.

People with physical disabilities aren't a select group; you may be in a situation that could cause an injury. It could be temporary, such as a sprained ankle, or a permanent condition caused by a disease or an accident.

Next time you walk down the hall or walkway to class, notice if there is an individual that is having difficulty navigating the crowded hallways or walkways.

Pay attention to how others are reacting to that individual, then bring it home to how you react.

If you need examples, I'll help: 1. Is the individual having difficulty getting down the hall due to crowds walking in front of them?

2. Are they having difficulty getting down the stairs?

3. Are they having difficulty using the elevators?

4. Are they having difficulty getting down the sidewalk?

5. Are they having difficulty finding a seat in a classroom?

The word is difficulty; meaning to have a hard time doing something. The main concept is the difficulty of acceptance of people that have a disability.

I am a student at Metro who has seen this same situation at different locations over the last three years.

The issue is compassion.

Nancy Brigham Metro student

Graduation, books,

tests and family · Dear Editor, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the recent announcement concerning next May's graduation date. For those who do not know the date has been moved back to May 11, 1997, before final exams.

Regarding the point about being "bumped" from a proposed site, I would like to ask why this event was not important enough to have secured a location?

I represent the non-traditional Metro student that this administration seems to hold in such high regard. In that vein, it has taken me years to complete my schooling and I feel slighted by this lack of attention to a very important day for most of us. My long awaited day of "celebration" will be followed by an evening of studying and a full week of final exams. Many of my family members will be traveling here to attend the ceremony. I would have much preferred to spend my time enjoying their company and my achievement. Instead, I anticipate spending my time just as I did all semester, hitting the books.

Did anyone consider the students? "Bumping" the date forward to Memorial Day may not have been so bad - or perhaps the Friday afternoon of finals week?

Did anyone ask us? At least the semester would be over.

I expected to spend my graduation day, and those few days afterwards, relishing my accomplishment and celebrating my journey. Now, I can look forward to the anxiety of final exams.

Sincerely, Debbie Smith Metro Senior

Freedom speech, fighting in路ustice and streaking soccer!

Yackin' about freedom of speech Jerry Springer comes to Auraria as defender of Constitution Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

efenders of the Constitution now have a new, and somewhat unexpected, name to add to their list - talk show host Jerry Springer.

Springer appears at the Auraria Campus today at 1 p.m. in Tivoli Room 640 to tackle the subject of the importance of the First Amendment.

Springer says that the First Amendment is in place not for publications such as Time magazine or The New York Times because those publish ideas that are popular with the country.

He says that the it is more for those who speak of unpopular things.

"They're 路the ones who need protection because they're not going to have the freedom to express what they want to express," he says.

Springer says that all ideas and views have the right to be expressed whether people like them or not.

"In some cases, it may be despicable," he says. "But just because I don't like it or another person doesn't like it or another person doesn't like it that doesn't mean a

D

person doesn't have a right to be heard."

Springer may defend the right of the message to be heard, but he does not have a problem with government interfering in the delivery of the message.

He says the government is within its right to delete words, which he says are usually swear words, that society fmds totally offensive.

He does not favor them silencing the message, though.

"I don't 路like the idea of government removing any point of view," he says.

Springer was born in England in 1944 while his family was fleeing the Holocaust He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Tulane University, a law degree from Northwestern University and then served as an aide to Robert F. Kennedy. He joined a Cincinnati law-firm after Kennedy's assassination and began to pursue his own political ambitions. He

was elected mayor of Cincinnati in 1977. He left politics in 1982 and became a political reporter for WLWT in Cincinnati.

It was Multimedia Entertainment Inc., owner of WLWT, that launched the Jerry Springer Show on Sept 30, 1991.

The show is seen on 150 U.S. stations and in 30 foreign countries.

Springer says today's discussion will probably lead to a discussion on his and other talk shows, which he says have a valid place in the tele'.lision market.

"Everything has a place on television," he says. "If there are viewers, it has a place." He later added, "If you have a product and TALKIN' FREEDOM: Talk show host Jerry people want to buy it - then go get Springer will visit Auraria Friday to discuss them." the First Amendment.

Springer says that he does not believe that talk shows, and some of the citing that guests on his show must contact subjects they explore, exploit people. He him and be interviewed before appearing.

He says that the subject matter on his says that news does that more because they report on people whether they like it show is not as bad as a lot of other proor not, while talk shows only cover those grams. He cites the numerous shows that discussed the murders of Nicole Brown who want to be on television.

"On a talk show, no one gets on unless Simpson and Ronald Goldman. they desperately want to be on," he says, "What's worse than murder?" he asks.

Figure of peace comes to Auraria Trisha McCarty The METROPOLITAN tanding a mere five feet tall, Rigoberta Menchu, the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, stood looking downward at her sandaled feet through two standing ovations from the crowd of 300 gathered at St. Elizabeth's Oct. 2.

Dressed in colorful Guatemalan garb, the indigenous Quiche woman admitted to being intimidated to speak before a new audience, but journeyed through her pain of "growing up in such closed intimacy with armed conflict, surviving the murders of her mother, father and brother."

As a former Mayan house servant, Menchu described nine-hour walks to the nearest village to sell wild herbs she had gathered, as well as spending many hours picking coffee and cotton.

"We soon learned there is more to life than taking care of one's self. There is community. There is family. There is people. What I've learned, I've learned by living," Menchu said.

She carried the audience through dark valleys of injustice with stories about drug trafficking, money

Performances ranged from ballet to comedy, with every corner of the complex filled with free entertainment.

Comedy Helper, one of many groups performing at the Colorado Alliance for Stage Theatre-sponsored theater marathon, did several improvisational and sketch comedy pieces, involving the audience in all of them.

One of the five comedians, Scott Johnson, is a broadcast major in his senior year at Metro as well as a parttime comedian. Comedy Helper can be seen every Sunday at The New Denver Civic Theatre with shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

"It gives kids a chance to see what the life of a prairie dog is like," she said.

She consults with biologists and ecologists as well as doing observational research before she starts an environmental art project, she said.

She has done projects in England and Ireland where she painted salmon on rocks to create spawning pools for the salmon. "The salmon see the pictures of salmon on the rocks and think this is the place to spawn," she said.

The "jacket of doom" is ~lstun's big finale, which he fills with plenty of suspense. He said he has been performing at the festival since it began.

Every year the festival gives out art innovation awards to Colorado artists. All winners are then invited to showcase their work at the festival.

This year's winners included The LIDA Project for theater, Neil Haverstick for music and Carlos Fresquez and Lynne Hull, both for visual arts. Fresquez teaches drawing part-time at Metro.

Fresquez's piece, called "The Living (with art) Room," is a partial room in which onlookers are invited to paint anything they want on the furniture, walls, floors and even the pictures on the walls. Fresquez said the concept is to add art to any house. "I think art should be a part of every home and this is art people can create themselves," Fresquez said.

She commended him for the "brave act" of firing military officials, 29 judges and the vice president of defense, and the attorney general who were revealed as "the connection to the center of corruption."

"It gives me chills when I think about it," she said.

However, Menchu said she is the government's biggest critic and feels it is every citizen's duty to keep a watchful eye on them.

"Instead of building· houses for the homeless, they spent money on tear gas to run out the homeless," protested Menchu, who was among the people fleeing to Mexico in 1981 where she began organizing peasant resistance movements.

"I have felt an urgency to end this disease, to end this disease of injustice," declared Menchu. And she has taken one step towards justice in her bloodshed country by forming forming "The Rigoberta Menchu foundation" with her prize money.

Break out the beadwork, load up the VW van and head for the hills to listen to this new Colorado compilation.

1bis is a sorry, sorry sampling of "Colorado's burgeoning music scene," as the liner notes proudly tout.

It's albums like this that give Colorado a bad name and keep people on both coasts thinking we ride our horses to work every morning (People really do think that!).

Slide guitars and falsetto backup voices are not what define our state's sound (now that I think about it, I don't know what would define our sound, but I do know that these sure do not help).

I really hope that the Colorado sound is not the country/rock Blues Traveller-lite sound packed onto this album.

The album features Acoustic Junction, Sweetwater Well, The Reejers, The Winebottles, Slim Cessna's Auto Club and the obligatory songs by The Samples.

I can't believe the Samples are still around doing their same old "we-kinda-sound-like-the-Police" schtick. Not only are they still around but they weaseled onto this compilation twice!

The only thing this album has going for it is that Slim Cessna's Auto Club got onto the album twice also, with "Champagne Like A Lady" and "Blindman." For some reason I have a soft spot for the Auto Club.

I might think about buying this album if all proceeds went to rowing Californians out of Colorado.

Loop Guru Amrita... all these and the japanese soup warriors North South The best way to describe Loop Guru is techno for people who don't like techno. Or maybe new-wave new wave.

However you describe it, it's fresh and worth listening to.

The band's name says what they are all about; laying down track upon track of heavy drums and bizarre noises into a wall of sound that is mesmerizing.

While some of the songs get a bit tedious and could be either shorter or change the beat every once in a while (I have an extremely short attention span) the album as a whole is fantastic.

Loop Guru just played with Meat Beat Manifesto, but they are sure to come back through town so keep a look out.

'Blood Wedding' lacks necessary passion Hildegarde Chambers The METROPOLITAN

B

..

food Wedding is a simplistic tragedy which can only succeed if perfonned passionately - a task El Centro Su Teatro doesn't quite accomplish.

Blood Wedding, a play written in 1933

by Federico Garcia Lorca, marks the 25th anniversary of the theater, located at 4725 High St. Under the direction of Anthony J. Garcia, El Centro has departed from its typical contemporary and Chicano-activist productions to present the story of a Jove triangle culminating in murder.

A land-owning Spanish matriarch, La Madre (Metro Dean of Student Life Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen), who has Jost a husband and son to bloody duels, arranges the marriage of her remaining son, Novio (Jim Rodriguez). Her obsession with death lends focus and suspense to the simplistic plot.

Novio's bride-to-be, Novia (Angela Manzanares), is in love with Leonardo (Jose Mercado), who was too poor to marry her.

Leonardo attends Novia's wedding and she runs off with him. The jilted groom follows his new bride and Leonardo into the forest, where both men are killed in a duel.

LOVE AND MURDER: La Novia (Angela Manzanares), Leonardo Qose Mercado) and La Mujer de Leonardo (Angelina Milan) in Blood Wedding.

The problem with this production of Blood Wedding is that passions are kept too much under control. The perfonners frequently speak as if they are script-reading and lack energy.

The first time the cast exhibits real excitement is just before the play breaks for intermission, when it is discovered that the bride has run off with Leonardo. One hopes that this burst of enthusiasm will

carry through into the second half.

The lack of vitality is especially missed in the role of La Novia. Angela Manzanares' portrayal Jacks personality.

She speaks in a monotone and shows little capability for harboring genuine passion for either the groom or Leonardo.

In the scene where . Novia and Leonardo meet again after three years apart and she tells him he "makes my

blood boil," her placid tone contradicts her emotional claim. And when they run off together, Navia says, "I look at you and it burns me," but again, her tone is more appropriate for discussing the weather than the tumultuous longings of a tonnented heart.

An actress who does show spirit is Amy Luna, who plays La Criada. Manuel Roybal develops nicely and provides moments of comic relief as the father of La Novia.

The Moon (Brandee Espinozo) is played with feeling and grace, delivering lines like "tonight I'll have sweet blood upon my cheeks" with emotion.

Death (Michael Miera), a skulking, deliciously hideous character, is portrayed with gusto.

While the perfonnance has room for improvement, there is much to be appreciated about El Centro Su Teatro's production, which undoubtedly will gain strength with each performance.

The English-language version of Blood Wedding will run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Oct. 19. A Spanish version will run from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2. Tickets are $7. For reservations call (303) 296-0219.

'Destiny' a trip above and beyond Travis Henry The METROPOLITAN pace ... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the "starship" Discovery - along with Viking, Galileo and Magellan.

Destiny in Space, now at the Imax theater at the Denver Museum of Natural History, is a walk through the solar system photographed by astronauts and spacecraft deployed by NASA. Narrated by Leonard Nimoy ("Spock" on Star Trek, for those who have been dead for fifty years), the film features incredible footage of the surfaces of Mars and Venus, as well as shots of never-before-seep solar systems forming.

With the theater's four-and-a-half story screen, it feels like the viewer is actually cruising above the landscape of Mars and hovering above the Earth in the space shuttle.

Some creative computer imagery takes actual footage of the Mars surface and shows what it would look life if life inhabited Mars.

The film's creators use computer animation to add to the Mars surface lakes, trees and cities, suggesting a planet like Earth.

Scenes from inside the Discovery demonstrate life without gravity so well, you feel as if you are going to float right off your chair.

One of the most interesting segments of Destiny in Space was footage of the Hubble telescope being repaired by astronauts.

While the segment ran a little long, it illustrated th.e difficulties of working in a weightless atmosphere and the precision needed in repairing space instruments.

Shots from the flawea Hubble telescope show that while it might not be worth the billions that were spent on it, it still beats the three legged telescope on the front lawn.

One photograph taken by Hubble actually shows a solar system in the making, forming around a young star.

The makers of the film take a little liberty suggesting that life may abound through the universe with evidence of other solar systems existing.

By far the most incredible scenes of the whole experience were images of the surface of Venus taken by the spacecraft Magellan. While it is quite certain humans will never visit our closest but hostile neighbor, images sent back by Magellan are more than enough to satisfy curiosity.

Though it was a stretch to put a scene of Stanley Kubrik's 2001: A Space Odyssey, in what is basically a documentary, the footage plays well on a large screen. It makes you wish Imax would bring the movie classic to the theater in its entirety.

While the movie did a good job displaying humans' exploration of space, sometimes it played like a commercial for its main sponsor, LockheedMartin, which builds space instruments for NASA. Destiny in Space plays through March.

Kani does an excellent job and is very entertaining. He is the only one who brings his character to life.

His character, Remington, is the one who shows up to help Patterson dispose of the lions when all other efforts have failed.

Remington seems to be the adventurous, arrogant type, but Douglas gives him no emotion. It looks like he's reading his lines for the first time off of cue cards, and he shouts them for no apparent reason.

Soccer on a winning streak Men.earn shutout No.3 we're going to have to (capitalize on the other team's mistakes)."

"We were patient, we waited for them to make the mistakes," he added.

Crookham said he played every player on the roster.

The following Sunday, the Roadrunners traveled to Regis to battle the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titan and seek revenge. Regis shut Metro out earlier in the season at home.

Against Regis the Roadrunners avoided a shutout but lost 2-3 after leading- 2-1 early in the second half.

"We played probably our best game that we played in the two years that I've been here," Crookham said of the loss.

Young added his second goal of the season, again assisted

by Mazen Kayali, four minutes into the second half. Midfielder Brett Ryals knocked in another from outside the penalty box lO minutes later.

Regis tied the score on a penalty kick that came from a questionable call, Crookham said.

With less than seven minutes remaining, Regis scored the go-ahead goal on a breakaway. "(Goalkeeper Zach Loescher) made a great save on the first ball but they tucked away the rebound," Crookham commented about the go-ahead goal.

"We found out we' re as good as anybody in the conference," Crookham said.

The team will play the University of Denver on their turf at I p.m. Saturday.

Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

Hyoung Chang/The METROPOLITAN HALLELUJAH: Metro Forward Cory Brown is all smiles as Adam Young, center, celebrates his first goal of the season in Metro's 5-0 shutout over Phillips University Friday.

Women shut out Mesa State 3-0 despite a slew of injured players Matthew J. Lilley \.

The METROPOLITAN The Metro women's soccer team won two games over the past week, pushing them back over the .500 mark for the season at 6-5.

Last Friday Metro turned back Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponent Fort Lewis College 2-1. Sunday the Roadrunners shut out Mesa State College 3-0.

Against Fort Lewis, sisters Katie and Kari Pierce each scored to help secure a much-needed win for the Roadrunners, who had lost their previous two games.

The women's team, however, refuses to stay healthy. Though forwards Ariana O'Neill and Kari Pierce returned to the starting lineup Friday, Metro lost defender Vicki Chong with a knee injury and midfielder Julie Ray hurt her ankle in practice earlier in the week. However, Chong came off the bench and rejoined the team last weekend.

"We're just kind of jinxed this year," Head Coach Ed Montojo said. "It seems like as soon as someone is getting healthy and ready to rejoin the team something else happens and someone goes out."

The thin bench, only three deep Friday, began to hamper the team when, with 15 minutes remaining in the game, Fort Lewis blasted past the tired Metro defense and scored on a breakaway goal.

"I saw the sun and I hesitated," goalkeeper

Chellie McCourt said. "I shouldn't have hesitated."

Fort Lewis continued the attack, but the fatigued Metro squad managed to run out the clock before Fort Lewis could do any more damage.

Offensively, the Roadrunners outshot Fort Lewis 14-9.

"We controlled it, we went to the ball, we won the balls, that started to build the offense and it just clicks from there," forward Shannon Wise said.

Because of the number of injuries, several players have been playing in different positions and different combinations. "It was on-the-job training (Friday)," Montojo commented.

"Jami Morgan stepped it up a big notch and has really played outstandingly," Montojo said.

The assault continued Sunday when the Roadrunner offense converted three of 16 shots for scores. The defense's only blemish was one shot by Mesa in the second half, which Mccourt stopped.

Katie Pierce, assisted by Ariana O'Neill, scored the first and deciding goal eight minutes into the contest. Midfielder Tarena O'Neill scored, unassisted, at the 35:52 mark of the first half.

Midfielder Dawn Mitchell kicked in the final goal on a pass from Tarena O'Neill with 13 seconds remaining in the first half.

The shutout was the second of the season for Metro, the first coming in the second game of the season against San Francisco State University.

The Roadrunners host North Dakota State Saturday at 2 p.m.

The Metro men's soccer team racked up its third shutout of the season Friday as the Roadrunners squashed Phillips University 5-0.

"We finally got five on our side instead of against us," goalkeeper Stephen Babby said.

Babby finished with three saves and earned his second shutout of the season.

The Metro offense bombarded the Phillips defense with 26 shots on goal, 20 more than the six Phillips could muster past the Metro defense.

Forward Cory Brown, defender Chris Johnson and midfielders Maher Kayali and Jason Cardamone all scored for the Roadrunners. Forward Adam Young scored his first goal of the season from a Mazen Kayali assist.

"I was setting him up all year so I thought I'd put it in," said Young, who has lead the Metro team this season in assists.

"We knew that they were coming from low altitude, and we knew that they were used to playing on a smaller field so we made them chase us around for 90 minutes," Head Coach Brian Crookham said.

The five-point margin of victory is the largest of the season for the Roadrunners, who dominated every aspect of the game.

The Roadrunners were able to control the ball, Crookham said. "The more we move the ball around, the more opportunities

Rugby crushes Colo. CoUege 60-0 Team unity helps to produce shutout despite some loose passing A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The Colorado College rugby team took a long ride Saturday up from Colorado Springs to Shutout City as Metro dominated CC 60-0.

Metro offered some good old-fashioned rugby hospitality to the spirited CC team and welcomed their opponents by scoring a drop goal inside the first two minutes of the match. The points came from Leif Gibson after an unsuccessful 30-yard try attempt by Jade Opfer.

The boys in blue had some strong, hard tackling and really pulled together路to win the match. ''The guys stuck together; there was no complaining. This is something I've been waiting for, for almost a year and they're finally showing that," Coach Howard Kent said.

However, the team did suffer loose passing, and they failed to capitalize on multiple open drives and CC mistakes.

"We need to work on ball-handling.

Offensively, with the forwards, we played as well as any team," captain John Bogdanoff said.

Still, their efforts were enough to overcome the disorganized CC squad whose own loose passing incorporated more dropped balls than a Laurel and Hardy routine. The Metro team was proud of its win but still believed they could have played better.

"We had a lot of last passes go to the ground. Against a good team, you can't afford to do that," Kent said. "Sometimes we produced the ball so quickly that we couldn't draw in the defense."

Still, Metro did come together on some key piays like the first try, scored at the I]minute mark, run by Jake Stagner in a clean hand-to-hand between Gibson, Shawn Larrison and Stagner.

An amusing play leading up to another Gibson kick came midway through the first half when Larrison threw a pass directly into the head of a CC player and caught it again on the bounce-back. Stagner took over with a nice 20-yard run on the outside but it was not enough for the goal. Gibson stepped in, once again, with the conversion kick for points.

Metro played some hard rugby in the form of Jade Opfer, who felt some kind of compelling force to run directly into the opposing line whenever he had the ball. This paid off for him toward the . end of the first half when he pushed right through the CC defense to score a try.

Another try came Metro's way in the last two minutes of the half when Bill Strong capitalized on some particularly wild CC passing and ran it in to hike Metro's lead to 28-0 at the half.

CC came out of half time with a fun little happy-dance and cheer to keep their spirits up and were greeted with another Opfer try in the first minutes of the half. Opfer treated the CC line like one of the high Rocky Mountains, scaling over them for the score. CC had some of the best passing of their game after this, but it did not help them much as the ball was quickly plucked from their grasp as Larrison assisted John Tewinkle in a try moments later.

CC ran for a good five yards in the lineout but lost it again. Metro regained possession but was overtaken, and CC pulled out a semi-effort for a run.

However, the opposition ran directly into the Metro line and their attempt was foiled again. Gibson followed it up with a beautiful drop goal from 40 yards downfield.

Opfer scored two of the last three tries for the team; the first he ran in from five yards out and jogged downfield, arms raised for a victory. The other try, and the last of the match, came off of a Stagner assist when he ran it up to the goal and passed off to Opfer. That last point was try number four for Opfer and was followed by a successful Gibson kick to end the match with a 60-0 win for Eric Drummond/The ME1RoPOUTAN Metro.

Volleyballers injury-free and winning Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

Offensive problems that have plagued the Metro volleyball squad disappeared Wednesday as the team spiked the University of Denver for a 3-1 victory.

Giving the Roadrunners' offense a much needed boost was the return of outside hitter Stacey Hoyt from an ankle injury that sidelined her for over a week.

Hoyt racked up 23 kills and teammate Kerry Beidleman, setter, finished with 17 digs.

"Right now everyone's swinging pret-

ty well," Hoyt said. "It feels good to be back."

Metro Jost the first game 6-15 after falling behind 0-11. The second and third games saw Metro drop to 0-6 and 1-6 early, but the Roadrunners rallied both times to win those games by the same score of 15-10.

"We've been doing that all year, but finally tonight we got ourselves out of it," Head Coach Joan McDermott said. She said the win would help the team's confidence and that having Hoyt back was a boost for the 'Runners.

Metro was tied with DU 7-7 in the

fourth match but took control with a 6point run. Contrasting Wednesday's offensive performance with recent m~tches, McDermott said, "our ball control was better. We did a better job getting the ball to our setters."

"We had very good passing, that always helps when we can run all our options," Beidleman said.

Shannon Ortell, a 6-foot freshman middle hitter, who joined the lineup the same day Hoyt was injured, played with Hoyt for the first time. Beidleman described this combination as "powerful."

"I can set either one and almost guar-

antee the kill."

Ortell finished with 11 kills and six block assists, she said.

"We were just really on tonight," outside hitter Laura Mader said. "It was just intensity, everybody had it."

The victory came after a 3-game road trip in which the team lost two. The University of Northern Colorado beat Metro in four matches. Seventh-ranked Nebraska-Kearney stomped Metro 0-3 (915, 2-15, 8-15) for the school's most recent loss.

Despite the loss to Nebraska-Kearney, McDermott said they are still beatable.

Metro will get a second chance against Nebraska-Kearney Oct. 26 when the squad plays at Metro, this time with Hoyt, who leads the conference in kills-per-game.

The road win came against Fort Hays

State, 3-0. McDermott said both Ortell and outside hitter Corey Hostetler played well on the road.

The squad will finally begin playing more games at home, McDermott said, which will help the team. "If we get a couple of wins it would just be a good boost to our confidence, and I'd think they would settle down and do really well," McDermott said.
