Student leader appeals dismissal Metro student body president reinstated, hearing will dictate her fate A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN The Metro student Judicial Board reinstated dismissed Metro student government president Stephanie Stevenson last week pending the student court's decision on her appeal of the dismissal.

Stevenson presented her appeal Wednesday, charging that Mark Zenghetti, recently named Chief Justice to the Judicial Board, incorrectly interpreted the student government constitution and thus, wrongly fired her.

The appeals hearing boiled down to one major issue: Stevenson's eligibility and the interpretation of a constitutional clause stating that any student government member must enroll in and complete at least six credit hours. Stevenson interpreted the clause to mean that she had to comply with that clause at the next available opportunity and said that she did so during the fall 1996 semester.

However, Zenghetti said that his understanding was that she must have done that during the spring of 1996 at the time she assumed the office of president.

Stevenson was officially dismissed Oct. 31 when Zenghetti received word from the Office of Student Activities that Stevenson had not held the required six-credit minimum during the first two weeks of her tenure that spring. However, upon the reinstatement, Stevenson was authorized to remain in office until the appeals process is completed. The student court must submit a written opinion within 10 school days of the hearing, or by Nov. 27, just shy of Thanksgiving break. If the court upholds Zenghetti 's decision, Stevenson must clear out her desk the day that the opinion is given. However, if the court decides that Stevenson is in the right, she will remain as student government president.

To illustrate her point that the student constitution contained a number of vague generalizations and was open to a number of interpretations, Stevenson asked Zenghetti to read every selection see PRESIDENT page 11

"There was no intent upon myself to deceive or to get around what the constitution stated.

But no one directed me to interpret it otherwise."

MOVIN' OUT: An RID bus pulls out of the downtown bus station. Handicapped students at Metro have pointed out that the ma.n datory student bus pass that all students have to pay for is unfair to them.

Richard Miller Metro student the regular bus service.

To get to and from campus Miller pays up to $2 to use access-a-Ride, a curbto-curb service of the Regional Transportation District for those who are unable for them to use the regular RTD buses.

Miller, 42, and the estimated 20 Metro students using access-a-Ride essen-

tially paid $11.50 for a service they could not use.

Miller called this "taxation without representation." ''This situation is different from ablebodied students who choose not to use RTD and take their car or another kind of transportation to campus," Miller said in an e-mail message.

"Disabled access-a-Ride students do not have this option," he said.

Miller went to RTD and asked for a refund for not only himself, but all Metro students using access-a-Ride.

"I had to call dozens of people... until I got through the red tape at RTD," Miller, a computer science major, said. It was not until he had contacted RTD representative John Pung that he began to make progress.

Miller said it took two months from the first contact with RTD until the refund procedures were finalized in early October.

"I had zero help from the RTD board, which is overtly political and totally useless," Miller said.

Mitch McKinney,_ a Metro student with cerebral palsy who uses access-aRide, said he was pleased to learn of the refund and he is interested in obtaining one.

McKinney, a human services major, said the access-a-Ride program "is okay, but they need a little work." He added that he was once stranded on campus on a Friday night by access-a-Ride.

"I'm glad that Richard called us and called it to our attention," Pung said.

A federal judge will decide at a Nov. 25 hearing if a former accounting professor will be reinstated at Metro after winning a discrimination lawsuit against the college last summer.

The proceeding is a milestone in an ongoing legal dispute between Phillip Thornton and several Metro administrators, including President Sheila Kaplan.

In August, a civil jury awarded Thornton $250,000 in emotional damages plus $11,730 in back pay from the college. The plaintiff's attorney, Paul Baca, alleged that Thornton was denied tenure at Metro because he stood up for a man applying for a job in his department that Thornton thought was being unfairly discriminated against.

Lawyers for the defense refused to comment on the case.

Baca said Judge Alan Johnson, who presided over Thornton's jury trial, will decide whether to order Metro to reinstate Thornton as an employee of the college at the hearing.

Thornton quit in May 1995, after he was denied tenure and his contract with the college expired.

Baca said if Thornton is not reinstated at the college he is planning to ask Johnson to award his client front pay, which is compensation for future salary loss.

CCD student government averts fistfight Tensions build as government foes threaten physical violence if voices not heard Travis Henry The METROPOLITAN Not to be outdone by their Metro counterparts, the CCD student government created a controversy of their own Monday when a meeting that got out of hand almost turned into a fistfight outside the senate chambers in the Tivoli.

Two Auraria police officers and one Tivoli security guard arrived after an anonymous caller notified the police of an

incident taking place outside the chambers.

"There was some posturing being done between two different groups," said Auraria Director of Police and Security Joe Ortiz. 'The officers got between them and there were no punches thrown."

The conflict arose because of flyers being placed around the South Classroom by the student government in response to other flyers labeling CCD student govern-

ment president Bob Welle as a racist, Welle said.

Other portions of the flyer say that Welle is rude and does not let certain groups speak at meetings.

Welle said that he follows parliamentary procedure and that students can speak but must follow student government meeting guidelines.

Welle claims that CCD student government vice-president Michael Williams

and girlfriend Kiersta Whitlow tried to incite a riot among students after the meeting by being unruly and combative.

Welle said that Williams, his girlfriend and a small entourage confronted CCD student government treasurer Kendra Archuleta, her husband and other members of student government after the meeting and became very aggressive.

Williams objected to a flyer from stuSee CCD page 9

Metro's lawyer calls it quits after 2 years Trisha McCarty The METROPOLITAN

Metro is looking for a lawyer as Scot A. Silzer, Metro's attorney, has resigned and said he plans to leave his position and move to Florida by the end of February 1997.

Silzer said his resignation has nothing to do with the lawsuit against Metro, in which former accounting professor Phillip Thornton sued for discrimination in being denied tenure (see FIRED page 3 story), but rather he said his resignation is based on family reasons and feels the tug-of-war between leaving Metro and going to be with his family.

"I'd like to be there tomorrow," Silzer said about

Aorida.

But he said he will postpone his move to the Orlando area, where his wife of one year lives, until his position is filled.

"I don't want to leave the school without legal representation," Silzer said. So he said he will participate with Metro President Sheila Kaplan and others in the search to fill his position.

Silzer said Kaplan said she would be sorry to see him go when he announced his resignation to her last week.

Kaplan was unable to be reached for comment prior to publication.

"I think she's satisfied with the progress of the case," said Silzer, referring to the Thornton case. A civil jury charged Metro to pay Thornton $261,730 for emotional

damages and back pay, last August.

Expecting the case to be resolved by the time he leaves, Silzer also said the case could take a positive spin with the dollar amount being reduced or if an appeal is made the damages could "go to zero and start all over," with a new trial. An appeal case is scheduled for Nov. 25.

"This college is not adverse to admitting fault," Silzer said. He also said he tries not to set any particular expectations for his clients, adding that every story has two sides.

"I'm in a business where you can't make everyone happy,"Silzer said. "But I see conflict as a seed for growth and from it comes knowledge and understanding."

Silzer began representing Metro in 1994 and said he See SILZER page 9

Students talk Saturn with propulsion director ~

Metro brings Lockheed Martin director to speak about launching of Saturn probe Henri Brickey The METROPOLITAN

·1 n h e 1600s, an Italian scientist named Jean Dominique Cassini was among the first people to study the gap in Saturn's main rings. Almost four centuries later a spacecraft named after the scientist is now ready to explore the mystery of Saturn's rings, the origins of Saturn and its biggest moon, Titan.

Director of Propulsion for Lockheed Martin Ralph Eberhardt, Jr., worked extensively on the project and explained many of the fundamental s of the mission to Metro students Tuesday in the Plaza Building. Eberhardt was invited by his long-time friend Howard Paynter, who is the director of mechanical engineering technology at Metro.

Saturn and its mysterious rings, which extend far wider than the distance between Earth and the moon, have mystified people for centuries.

"We don't know what creates the rings," Eberhardt said, adding that the Cassini's purpose is to find out such things.

One of Saturn's moons has an icy geyser on it that spews ice and gasses into the atmosphere. This type of geyser may be part of the cause for the rings. Another interesting fact is that most of Saturn's 17 moons are located within the band of the

"So the question is, what is the relationship between the rings and the moons?" Eberhardt asked.

But, there is a more important reason to explore Saturn's moons.

Some scientists believe that the kind of elements that

launch date because we have to depend on the planets lining up," he explained. 'The proper planet lineup will allow the Cassini to use the gravity of the planets to help pull us through the system."

This is called a gravity assist and involves circling Venus twice then using the gravitational momentum to propel the c r a ft

toward Jupiter and eventually to Saturn.

The next opportunity for such a lineup will be in 13 years.

The entire project involved 17 countries and 33 states and costs $3 billion.

Saturn exploration was first considered in the early ' 80s.

'This is the last of the big science missions in this lifetime," Eberhardt said.

But for anyone obsessed with space exploration, do not worry. In 2002 the Pluto Express will be launched to gather information on the farthest member of our planetary family, Pluto.

Grad school advice: get going!

"It's who you know not what what you know," in grad school admissions

"It's political.

Sorry, that's reality," Lockwood said. "It's who you know, not what you know."

Students need to have a good personal statement about their accomplishments and what organizations they were associated with, because once

The Graduate School Seminar explained why students who plan to go to graduate school should start planning as early as their freshman year at Metro be~ause grade point averages and standard test scores alone may not get you in.

There are thousands of applications every year at graduate schools and most applicants are above-average students with above-average standard test scores, but they do not get into a reputable school unless they have some experience and know the professors at the college they are applying to, said Linda Lockwood, a professor at the University of Colorado at Denver.

Lockwood, who received her doctorate in psychology at the University of Colorado-Boulder, said she had an aboveaverage grade point average, and average Graduate Record Examination scores, but was able to get into graduate school because she went the extra mile by getting to know the professors in her chosen field at CU, and worked the summer as a research assistant at the school.

"If you want to stand out from the rest of the applicants you have to build your personal statement," Lockwood said to students at the graduate student seminar Wednesday at the Tivoli.

Lockwood told students to make sure they have the required courses accepted at the institution they are applying to, and do some background work on professors that work in your chosen field.

"Individual instructors may have grants with a package of benefits," Lockwood said. "Some have stipends for tuition such as $500 a month or $1,000 a

~~~~~~!1~~~'1~"~'1~~~~~ month (for students)."

Students need to minimize their debts to enter graduate school, Lockwood said.

"The most critical l 0 minutes of the talk" with a professor is talking about the professor's recent articles published, she said.

"Most professors have big egos," Lockwood said, and enjoy it when students want to know more about their past or previous work.

Students can then ask questions of the professors on who to contact to apply at that school and what is available, Lockwood said.

She said by doing this "you are opening the door."

Lockwood said professors do not have time to read 75 applications because they are over-committed and understaffed. By building a relationship with them, you are making their job easier.

the professors know you, they will look into your personal statement to see your accomplishments, Lockwood said.

She said they look for applicants that can work with the professors on research or other works in that field.

"Once they recognize your name, it's what inside your application that counts," she said. "Personal statement number one is why you are a good candidate," to the professors.

Students need to get letters of recommendation from professors, build their experience through co-op education and get to know professors at the school whether through personal interviews or phone interviews if they are out of state.

Grade point averages and standard test scores are only a small part of it.

The seminar was co-sponsored by Psi Chi, the Psychology Club, the Gamers ' Club and the Human Services Club.

Welle said that Williams and Whitlow,· who is not a student government member, are waging a campaign to impeach Welle.

"At this point I would love it if they would," he said.

Felicia Sykes, director of CCD student activities said that the problems that are happening in student government are a result of a new group trying to work together and following proper procedures during meetings.

"It is some people knowing more and some knowing Jess of the rules," she said. "We are trying to work through that."

Sykes said there is time during meetings that students are not allowed to vocalize, such as during student government reports and students need to understand that.

A new student participation format has been approved by the student government and hopefully will allow there to be a more open forum, Sykes said.

"Only time will tell if the format works," she said.

Welle said at Monday's meeting "as soon as the camera went off the vice president and his entourage felt free to cut loose."

Sykes said it is easy to focus on the negative happenings in student government but there are many positive things going on.

Silzer leaves Metro, plans in Florida uncertain SILZER from page 4

will miss working in an educational atmosphere where the issues being addressed are often on the cutting edge of law.

"A lot of lawyers would love to do this rather than seeing the same thing (issues) over and over," he said.

Silzer said he sees Metro as going through its adolescence stages, trying on different hats over the years, but now trying to define and redefine its identity in the college community.

"Kaplan has taken this college where it has never been before," Silzer said.

The 44-year-old lawyer does not have definite plans upon leaving Metro, but said he plans to open a private law practice, and then said he may work with his wife who practices immigration law. He also said there is a possibility he could return to representing state universities in Aorida, which he said he did for JO years.

"Faculty are creative, making some of the mundane issues more interesting with their different views. You would expect this on controversial issues, but not on the same issues dealt with for years," Silzer said after 12 years of experience representing colleges.

"President Kaplan's leadership has focused on what we need to improve the college. "I'm sad to be leaving, but I'm an optimist at heart and look forward to the stimulating, creative challenges that lie ahead," Silzer said.

Though he said he will not miss driving to work in snow, Silzer said he plans to come back to visit Metro. ''And I hope others will come see me, seeing as will be right near Mickey (Mouse)."

Student activities director refuses responsibility PRESIDENT from page 1

dealing with the removal of student government members. She asked him for his interpretation of each selection and systematically discounted what he concluded, saying that she saw each section completely differently.

After that demonstration, Stevenson maintained that the way the constitution is written, there is no way that she could be justifiably dismissed in this case.

'There was no intent upon myself to deceive or to get around what the constitution stated. But no one directed me to interpret it otherwise," Stevenson said in

..

her closing argument.

She also said that she had fallen victim to her interpretation and that she felt that the Office of Student Activities should be somewtfat responsible for her dismissal because director Zav Dadabhoy and assistant director Kari Tutwiler served as advisors to the student government. She said that they never told her she had done anything wrong during her six months in office.

She said that she had submitted her intent to run for office form in the spring of 1996 and Dadabhoy and Tutwiler had given her the go-ahead, never mentioning that she was ineligible for office.

Dadabhoy countered Stevenson's plea for shared responsibility, saying that in a college setting, students must be responsible for their own actions, comparing it to the student who enrolls in a class and does not show up to it. He said that it is not the professor's job to ask the student why he is not attending the class; that lies on the student's shoulders.

"We hope that we do not have to police our student government members on a daily basis," he concluded.

Both Stevenson and Zenghetti declined to comment pending the decision of the case.

Charges against SGA false, says Grice Dear MSCO, It is with great concern that I, as a member of the Student Government Assembly, must address the numerous fallacies and baseless charges levied against my colleagues and myself by Mr. Saiz in the Nov. 8 issue of The Metropolitan. Please allow me to dispel the mythology purported by Mr. Saiz in his recent libelous diatribe.

Mr. Saiz suggests that the SGA is "in violation of federal, state, and MSCD laws ... " because the SGA does not have a policy manual. This is utterly false. A policy manual is easily accessible to all students in the SGA office.

Mr. Saiz charges that this SGA (including himself) has not established a mission and set of goals for the year. Initially, this responsibility resides with the president who is required by the student constitution to submit a budget, accompanied by a set of goals, by June 15 of each year.

The president has capitulated in this regard by having never submitted a budget or goals tor the assembly to approve. Fortunately, in the absence of president Stevensen, who refused to budge on this matter, the remaining SGA has resolved this matter on 11-796 on its own. We regret that we were unable to force the President's hand earlier, but circumstances have obviou chang for the better which s allowed the SGA to resolve this matter.

Mr. Saiz proclaims that the timeliness of submitting agenda items renders the administration assistant in violation of the constitution. The student constitution does not declare at what time of the week an agenda item is to be submitted, that matter is resolved in the policy manual. For practicaf reasons, it is sometimes necessary to amend an agenda right up to, and sometimes during, an assembly meeting. Student concerns o1ten arise abruptly and require the SGA's diligence. To be completely inflexible on this policy would weaken the SGA's ability to act on the students' behalf.

Mr. Saiz appears concerned that the election codes are not available.

This is also baseless since they can be found along with the policy manual at the SGA front desk.

Mr. Saiz charges that the constitution is "vague" regarding the vacancy of the office of President. If one reads the passages in context, the "vague[ness]" evaporates. Obviously, the passage "entire remainder of the assembly-" means just that. The reason for two amendments regarding vacancies of office should be clear.

Vacancies of the presidency are handled differently than those of "voting

members" to ensure that: One, â&#x20AC;˘ vacancies of VP's are quickly filled by appointment to ensure student representation is not compromised. Two, if the president position becomes vacant, it would be imprudent to allow the president to simply re-appoint her/his self back into the position.

Imagine if Nixon could have reappointed himself as president in the event he was impeached!

As far as Mr. Saiz' attacks on the administration assistant are concerned, they are totally baseless.

Karmin works with the entire SGA, and is well respected by administration and all but two members of the assembly. Karmin has the unenviable task of balancing her responsibilities to the president with her responsibilities to the other assembly members.

Sometimes these responsibilities come into conflict with one another. If an assembly president, or other member, takes issue with the actions of an administration assistant trying desperately to fulfill conflicting responsibilities, that person should be able to muster ~nough spine to take the issue up with the judicial board, or SGA as a whole; rather than sensationalize their plight with a vicious and baseless attack in the paper. I personally hope that Karmin's reputation was not damaged in your mind. She deserves better.

Mr. Saiz, if you honestly feel that yourself and the rest of the SGA should be impeached, then please gather some evidence and forward your concerns to the judicial board.

If you, as a student, are not convinced that Mr. Saiz' charges are baseless, please allow for other current SGA members to state their case in person, by phone, or by mail.

Furthermore, the SGA will allow any student, who is so inclined, to redress their concerns in an SGA meeting, and I will personally return any message left by any student who has any student concern.

I, as well as most members of SGA, realize that the SGA has endured rocky times as of late, but these obstacles are indicative of the strength of your constitution. Abuses of privilege (e.g. long distance phone scams), breaches of your trust (e.g. ignoring your votes) will always be exposed by this SGA member. I can assure you that the vast majority of SGA members feel as I do, and we are committed to rebuilding this government's credibility in the upcoming days.

OPINION

Keep it to yourself It .is like a bad dream that I cannot wake up from. I am sure it has happened to you. You become paralyzed because you cannot fight the feeling that you are in a filthy talk show setting. The fact of the matter is that you are in class and are the victim of "true confessions in the classroom."

No one knows who these people are or why they say what they say. You would not dare to look because you might be caught staring, wondering, Donna Hickey Jackson "How does what they are talking about have anything to do with this class, this world ...their existence?"

You know it has happened to you. This phenomenon is not isolated to touchy-feely classes like psychology or creative writing. These people lie waiting in every class. When you least expect it, you hear a burst of personal rambling that is like being vomited on. It is as if slimy personal garbage covered the entire class in one blast of true confessions. And the poor professor is left standing at the edge of a theoretical cliff, wondering whether to jump or reach for unseen obtuse relationships from the metaphysical plane.

Because hey, if we do not know what is said, it must be metaphysical.

I really like people. I am interested in their stories. But when this kind of vomiting occurs, and a neon "true confessions" sign hangs itself up in the room, I might as well be burning my tuition dollars. Instead I writhe in my seat, biting the inside of my mouth, pleading with the darkness inside of me to not lash out and say something so nasty and unnecessary that it-would cause me to be stoned to death in class. To talk myself down I remind myself that if I speak up, then I am contributing to the problem, like a snowball gaining mass as it rolls hell-bound down the hill.

The excuse could be made by students, "Well, my professor is part-time and does not have a lot of time to answer my questions after class.¡ That is why God invented e-mail.

Before you speak consider the context and topic of the question. "Maybe God has a brewery and it is not so bad to drink beer." Huh? There is no fighting with the Protestant work ethic. Who are we to question it?

My favorite true confession in recent memory is, "What about the poor children in Africa who have never been taught about God?" That is undoubtedly a question for one's priest.

Sure, I have been known to blurt out something that I later realized was not words that held any kind of meaning at all. Such moments of no-speak remind me to think before I open my mouth again.

We need support for art Art. It's a word that causes confusion, apathy, even fear. But without it, life loses meaning. Sans art, we lose perspective and identity, not to mention escapism.

Unfortunately, arts education is suffering on Colorado's largest college campus.

"We're the largest campus in the state and the only campus without performing arts facilities," says Hal Tamblyn, chair of Metropolitan State College of Denver's music department.

For a campus with an elephantine student population (33,000 students), the Auraria Higher Education Center's performance facilities are indeed rodentlike. But a new facility has been proposed, and if the legislature cooperates, the mouse will roar.

Last spring, Auraria proposed a $32 million facility that included $17.5 million in performance facilities. The complex would include a 299-seat theater, a 399-seat concert hall, a 150-seat recital hall, a flexible black box theater (for diverse stage settings) and music practice rooms, along with multiple-use classrooms and offices.

The state only approved the classrooms and offices. Once again, the arts lost.

Round two: The proposal is back on the table, and if legislators have any respect for higher education, they'll approve it.

Live performance is essential to the teaching and learning of the performing arts. Music, theater and dance students need facilities for hands-on experience with acoustics, set design and audience feedback. Arts majors wouldn't be the only beneficiaries. With Auraria's urban setting and diverse student population, a topnotch complex would be a tremendous source of pride for the campus and the

community. It would foster campus unity, bring in more recruits and offer plays and concerts to the public.

The need for facilities is certain. A report by Auraria's Facilities Planning and Use office shows that current facilities are woefully inadequate, if not non-existent.

Metropolitan State College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver each have experimental black-box theaters that aren't suitable for many productions. None of the campus' three schools has music or dance performance spaces. The music departments and students who perform recitals must pay rental fees to perform in off-campus spaces. Equipment transportation is a considerable hassle for students and faculty.

The report presents data on 19 comparable urban campuses and shows that they all have their own facilities. Only five of those campuses have more than half the number of students at Auraria, and only Detroit's Wayne State University (34,000 students) has more.

The report shows a wide gap between department and facility quality. In 1991 the National Association of Schools of Music gave the MSCD music department high marks for its faculty, library and curriculum but stated that its facilities "simply do not provide the Department of Music the 'artistic tools' to accomplish its mission adequately."

External ~eviews of the music and theater programs at UCO, which share rehearsal space with MSCD and practice rooms with Community College of Denver, reached similar conclusions: The Music Management and Music Engineering programs at UCD have high national reputations, but they certainly deserve better studios and performance venues.

Tamblyn said the problem stems from

a long-held perception that Auraria can use facilities at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. That's why no facilities were included when the campus was built in 1973. He said that when the music department tried to use DPAC facilities for musical theater productions in the early 80s, the expensive logistical nightmare that resulted exposed the venture as completely impractical. The problem is simple: MSCD is an undergraduate college, and the DPAC is one of the busiest professional arts complexes in the nation. mere can be no marriage of the two.

The facilities office report shows that other alternatives have been explored.

Auraria declared the Tramway and Plaza buildings unfit as performance-spaces and stated that the St. Cajetan's building has acoustical problems and no wings or overhead fly space around a stage that is too small. Auraria has reached a crucial juncture. If the legislators' vision fails them, it'll be up to the three campus schools to demonstrate their commitment by raising private funds.

"We need to get serious about finding some people in the .community who are willing to bring private money to the table," Tamblyn said, adding that the solution is probably a merger of public and private funds.

Whatever the means, the end is imperative. Auraria has seen considerable improvements over the years, including a mall, a parking garage and renovated athletic facilities. The arts departments have been stepped on for too long.

After 23 years, it's time for the elephant to make friends with the mouse.

Bringing the mind into medicine Asian health symposium introduces Eastern medicine to Western world Brigett L. Camarena The METROPOLITAN

sian healing meets Western medicine at the Alternative Health and Healing Symposium on Nov. 20th in the Tivoli with health educators on Asian cultural influences on health care.

The all-day health symposium will have workshops in tai chi, yoga and aromatherapy from health care professionals who will demonstrate and invite students to participate in workshops that appeal to them.

Linda Wilkens-Pierce, a health educator for the Student Health Center, said this will be the first alternative health and healing symposium on the Auraria Campus that teaches people how to reduce stress, anxiety and illness without the use of medication.

"Asian medicine will help students in reducing stress, anxiety, and lower back problems," Pierce said, or other health problems that drugs or medications couldn't relieve or had short-term results.

The Alternative Healing & Health Symposium will also include acupuncture, aromatherapy and authors on Asian healing and culture. Students will be informed about different options or choices in taking care of their health, Pierce said.

Lectures from well-known professionals and authors such as Christine Chao, clinical psychologist and a gradu-

ate of the University of Denver in Asian culture will be discussing how health care can be improved in the United States and how Asian healing can be integrated with Western medicine.

Elson M. Haas, a medical doctor and practicing physician of integrated medicine for over 20 years and author of Staying Healthy With the Seasons and Staying Healthy with Nutrition as well as several other popular books will be speaking on how to have better health and new ways of thinking about health.

Joan Borysenko, a doctor of psychology, combines science, medicine and psychology in her teaching, and has authored several books and journal articles, including a best seller, Minding the Body and Mending the Mind.

Borysenko will be speaking on The Power of the Mind to Heal: New Advances in Mind/Body Health that will go into mind and body connection and findings in the sciences of energy and medicine and also Asian healing.

"Yoga will help with flexibility and relieve back pain," Kuhn said.

Kuhn said students participating in her class should wear comfortable clothes like tights or stretch pants and no shoes.

Pierce said students should arrive a half hour early to

John Savvas Roberts/The METRorourAN sign in and register for the class, because over 150 people have already registered for the health symposium.

There will also be exhibits and tables on massage therapy, polarity therapy, chiropractors, homeopathies, nutritionists, naturopathics and several other healing professionals that will be available to answer questions and provide information about the alternative medicines that are available for healing the mind and body.

Brian James, of T' ai Chi Chih. located in Denver will be teaching tai chi, which is comprised of 20 soft, energizing movements that emphasize meditative aspects for relaxing and learning how to focus.

"People are so busy these days," James said. "T'ai Chi Chih will help individuals reduce blood pressure stress and find the direction they want to go."

This new system is for Westerners because of their short attention span, James said. With his 10 years experience in mastering T'ai Chi Chih everyone participating in his workshop will leave knowing some of the movements, feeling more energy and less stressed out.

Claudia Kuhns, a certified teacher with the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States and a teacher in Denver, will be teaching all levels of yoga to participants in the workshop.

American Indian a token gesture to better about past 4 n old Western films America came to know American Indians as savages who lay drunk next to a tepee, Jiving poor on the reservations and killing white men.

That education continued through school when children were taught that Indians slaughtered thousands of innocent European settlers and were cruel, heartless people. Ah, yes, but they were also the nice folks who taught the English colonials how to grow and harvest food in the new land, thus giving us the Thanksgiving holiday at the end of November.

What that education excluded is that many of those savage natives were fighting to preserve the land that the European settlers were thieving from the Indians. But .American students were taught from textbooks written by whites, so why should they know any differently?

That position is made clear by talking with Lily Boyce, president of the Metro American Indian Students for Empowerment, a Metro organi-

Meranto says that if the paper truly wanted to address Indian culture, then they should ask for Indians to write for them during this month to offer a true native perspective.

Ttius, Meranto says that she does not find any significance in the holiday.

Boyce agreed. "The only good that can come out of this thing is that those who are not [n~genous make it their business to find out what is going on with indigenous people."

She says it is important that Cndians and non-Indians alike find out as much as they can ~blWt Indian history because she ;ays it is essentially the history :if this country.

"Any analysis of American ~istory is incomplete without a ceal understanding of Indian his:otf."

Boyce said educating non-

Indians about what it is really like to be an Indian and about issues facing the Indian communities is beneficial to a general grasp of American history.

"Being an Indian doesn't mean having full blood racing through your veins. It's a culture; it's a way of life, and it's hard."

She says the greatest thing about being Indian are the traditions. She tells the story of her own struggles with alcohol and the partying life.

"I tried _A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous). I tried all that kind of stuff. But it wasn't until I turned to the traditions that I was able to find a way to live."

MAISE member Tracy Waters, a Cheyenne/Cherokee, agreed.

"The best thing about being Indian would have to be my culture, my traditions and my way of expressing my happiness, my joy of being with other Native Americans. You have rich traditions, and even though we've been whacked so many times, we still come out and are able to celebrate."

The koto is the deep purple shade of her silk kimono, as her delicate-looking fingers begin to manipulate the taut strings of the koto. Moving her body, Yoko starts a slow and hypnotic rhythm, looking as if she is a puppet being maneuvered by invisible strings, swaying her body to every note. Everyone's eyes are on her hands, which look as though they are tugging on a thick spider web.

When she stops she gives a deep bow from her chair and it seems as though she has returned from some sort of trance. She smiles once again and steps away from the crouched dragon.

Yoko played several more Japanese instruments during the night, each one with the same intensity she showed on the koto. While playing the shamisen, a small three-stringed banjo-like instrument, which is played with what looks like a car windshield ice scraper, Yoko sang several beautiful melodies. The vocals were long, drawn out vowels with sporadic pulls on the shamisen strings.

"The main focus is vocals in all traditional Japanese music," Yoko says. "Lyrics are unimportant, though, when playing the shamisen,'' Yoko says, explaining it is the sound that is important, not the content of the words.

In between sessions Yoko gives the audience accounts of Japan's musical history and a little of her own past.

"In Japan they teach western music, believe it or not, so I took western music in elementary, junior and senior high school. They never teach Japanese music," Yoko says. "I bad to go to an individual master's house."

Luckily her master did not require a blood contract in order to get lessons, but, Yoko said, her master was plenty strict.

This is the first time, Obidike Kamau Kamau says, he has taught at a "white" school.

He says it is important to learn about different cultures.

"We need more human interaction and understanding of human beings," Kamau says, adding that African American people are often misunderstood or overlooked in the educational progress.

"I would like to see undergraduate majors in African American studies in colleges," Kamau says.

Kamau says Metro students need to participate more in African American studies by having a strong history knowledge.

Colorado needs to offer students graduate degrees in African American studies because students who finish their undergraduate degree have to study in See page 22

Metro's industrial arts-one-of-a-kind 'Career of the '90s' not taught at any other colleges in Colorado M. St.Germain The METROPOLITAN

etro is the only college in Colorado that offers a degree in Industrial Design. Actually, it is the only such program available to aspiring designers within a 1,000mile radius of Denver.

Now in its seventh year of graduating majors, this IO-year-old program is gaining a strong reputation, regionally and nationally, as a producer of talented, well-trained designers.

Industrial design influences every product that is available for purchase. Before an item is released on the market, it has been researched and designed extensively to maximize its appeal to consumers. This means everything from furniture, to computers, to cordless phones, to medical equipment.

"An industrial designer is an idea person, a problem-solver and an innovator," program director John Schmidt says. "Design touches every facet of industry - of living."

"It has everything to do with the shape, the ergonomics, the design, the way it grabs you," he says. "It's

what makes people say, 'Cool! I gotta have that!"'

Currently, there are 70 students majoring in industrial design, twice as many as two years ago.

'The program is avant-garde in terms of the curriculum, in the respect of moving always toward technology's needs. We were never entrenched in tradition - it's rea1ly a young major," Schmidt says.

Schmidt acknowledges the strong support from the dean's office as the program aggressively expands its course offerings to stay competitive with other programs around the country.

By spring, Schmidt says, the Industrial Technology Department will be able to offer classes in digital photography using the digital video disk. Metro is investing over $50,000 in this one area of cutting-edge technology. Advancements like this increase the program's recognition tremendous!y.

"From the start, we were able to look at the needs of industry. There wasn't all that fighting, that resistance to change. That's what is attracting so many students to this program," Schmidt says.

As little-known as this major is, Schmidt has no doubts that this will change soon.

"It's taken a long time to become visible," he says, noting that Business Week magazine recently featured industrial product design as "the career of the '90's."

"People can find employment as designers," he says. "There are far more positions out there than there are qualified people to fill them."

Although the number of majors is stiJJ relatively small, those students involved in the program are notably driven to increasing awareness of their field.

"It's a very demanding major," says Melanie Salazar, president of the Industrial Design Student Association, "We spend between $80 to $100 doJlars every month just on materials. We are very dedicated."

It is typical that an industrial design major is not fresh out of high school. Most students are in their late 20s or oJder.

"We all have varied backgrounds, different experiences.

Generally we are older students, people experiencing a second or

third career change. We're a smart bunch ... our graduating classes regularly have three to . four people recognized by the Who 's Who (of America.n Colleges and Universities)," Salazar says.

Schmidt adds that Metro industrial design majors are now in high demand for co-op projects and internships. ''The public at large is becoming niore aware of industrial design on a daily basis," Salazar says. "We are planning an . annual off-campus design exhibition at a local gallery. We are going to install display cases in the Technology Building because there's nothing to showcase the students' work. We would like people to stop in to see the drawings, the models."

The student chapter is also busy designing a sharp logo for T-shirts that members will wear to industrial design trade meetings and conferences.

"It will help us to stand out, to show our unity as a group," she says proudly.

Prof hopes to build stronger base for African American studies From page 19

other states because the state of Colorado does not have a doctorate program, he says.

Temple University in Philadelphia was the first school to offer a doctorate degree in African Ameri~an studies, which started in 1988.

Professor Obidike Kamau received his doctorate at and said he read an ad for an assistant professor of African American studies at Metro in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

"I planned to move to the east or west," Kamau says, after he received his doctorate, but Metro offered better

employment opportunities and it has a larger selection of courses in African American studies than any other college, Kamau says. Other colleges offer only two introductory courses in African American studies.

He started at Metro in August after being interviewed in the summer by C.J. White, director of the African American department.

He finished his doctorate program in 1995, but before receiving his doctorate degree was in higher education for twenty years as a librarian and teacher of political science and history.

Kamau received his masters in Library Science at

North Texas State and is originally from Corsicana, Texas.

"I was also a curator for the library museum at Langston University in Oklahoma," Kamau says. It was at Langston that he received his undergraduate degree.

He worked as a librarian at Texas Southern University and Bishop College i11 Dallas, which are allblack schools.

Kamau plans to stay at Metro for a few years and eventually teach at Temple University, but for now he said he wants to "build Metro up and solidify the base," to make African American studies a major requirement.

'Space Jam' shoots and scores Jordan shows he can act better_ than he can bat in big screen debut Michelle Ewing The METROPOLITAN

he action-adventure movie of the season has arrived. It has big stars, big excitement and big aliens. No, it is not Independence Day, it's Space Jam. Take a superstar basketball playerturned-baseball-player-turned-basketball player, a few greedy aliens and an all-star lineup of your favorite Loony Tunes characters and you have the blockbuster hit of the year. Well, maybe it won't break the bank, but it is sure to be fun for all ages.

This movie is a guaranteed comic relief.

The entire movie centers around a bunch of tiny aliens who decide to travel to earth and kidnap the Looney Tunes.

However, their plan is sabotaged when the Looney Tunes challenge them to a basketball game. When the tiny aliens decide to become large, overgrown aliens, the Looney '.funes are forced to call on Michael Jordan to help them. The rest is cartoon history.

There is plenty of slapstick comedy that one has come to expect and love from the cast of the Looney Tunes, plus blasts from the past and familiar clips from other well known movies. One expects that the

...

movie is a big pitch for Jordan, but it is really not. It is good fun for the whole family.

The biggest question that is asked about this movie is "Can Michael Jordan act?" The answer is yes. For his first film Jordan does an excellent job of acting. He looks natural and at ease with being on the big screen, even though he was stiff at times. Do not expect to see Jordan appear in any tear-jerking, heart-wrenching movies, but anything is possible. Even though he proved his ability to act, he should stick with basketball.

For sports fans, it is to see the amazing line-up in this movie about cartoons struggling for survival the American way.

The cast includes Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, Charles Barkley of the Houston Rockets, Patrick Ewing of the LOONEY HOOPS: Bill Murray, Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan discuss basNew York Knicks, former Boston Celtic ketball strategy in "Space Jam."

"If we can beat them, we'll be well ahead of where we were last year by far, but we've got to swim exceptionally well," he said.

Still, he said that he did not recruit more people than could swim because he thinks it is important for everyone to have the chance since they all come to practice and work hard.

The men dropped South Dakota State University 131-110 and the women devastated the team 129-82 and also sent the University of Nebraska-Kearney team loping home after they captured a whopping 171-112 victory.

Coach Rob Nasser and team members attribute the team wins to the significant team build-up, saying that 28 new people have joined the Roadrunner squad. That is a major boost for the team after seeing most of last season's meets fizzle due to an inadequate number of swimmers. Nasser and his team are gunning for national competition as Nasser said he recruited a lot of highcaliber swimmers to augment his successful returners.

Schweissing, who was a powerhouse for the 'Runners last year, suffered a broken ankle at the beginning of the fall semester, but said she is confident that by conference competition time, it will cease to bother her.

Another returner on the injured list is diver Jen Larwa, who also had ankle problems due to a recurring mJury. She recently underwent surgery to correct the problem and should return by January, Nasser said.

She is replaced by newcomer Sarah Guillot who swept the diving competition against Kearney.

Another familiar face, Scott Watson, who competed in Nationals last year, said he is much more confident going into meets this year with the stronger numbers and said he is swimming faster this year.

"Compared to last year at the beginning, my times are a lot faster.

I'll be at Nationals - my goal is the top eight," fie said. Watson attributed much of his success to Nasser's increasing the intensity of the practice drills.

"I think the whole team is going to do well. We've recruited a lot of good freshman."

The freshman bring more fun and enthusiasm to the team, said co-captain Matt Calhoun, who said this year's team is much more positive and he said the new swimmers are entirely capable. of going to national competition.

"I've never had this intense of training, so I think I'll do a lot better than I have before," she said. "I think we're going to be awesome. We' ve never had this much depth."

Last year, the depth may have helped the teams who ended with records of 3-6 for the men and 1-9 for the women.

Roadrunner basketball season tips off today BASKETBALL from page 28

work hard.

"If you work hard, most of the time things happen,'' Milliard said. "I don't think anybody on our team is a slacker, everyone is out th~re to play hard and win. The experience will come."

"If you don't play hard," Smith said, "then it doesn't matter what you're going to do, you're going to get beat."

Justice said that the whole team is going to have to step up the scoring with the absence of Edwards, including herself.

"I don't think anyone is going to average as many points as her," Justice said. "I really don't believe that this year we have a one single dominant person that is going to average 20 points, I think it is going to be more spread out through the team."

Men's Basketball

remains around 6-foot-6.

Team captain, guard C.J. Arellano, said this year's front line will be quicker and more athletic.

"Our defense is going to dictate this year," Arellano said. "This year our goal is at least 24-2."

Metro joins the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference this year, which includes last year's NCAA-II national champion, Fort Hays State, who finished with an intimidating 34-0 record.

Plus, "you've always got Regis and Kearney, who've averaged 24 wins the last two or three years," Bradley said.

Last season Metro gave up a game to Kearney that they had in control going into the second half, Arellano said. "We owe them one."

The key this year is not the two freshmen or the five transfers but the.returning players, Bradley said.

Returning is 6-foot-3 guard Arellano; 6-foot-6 forward Martin Glastetter; S~foot-11 guard DeMarcos Anzures; 6-foot-7 center Adrian Navarro and 6-foot-7 forward Chris Tiritas.

Under Bradley the Roadrunners will execute a motion offense and a zone defense. Bradley said he will stress the fundamentals of shooting, rebounding and passing with this year's more athletic team.

"The program is young; a lot can happen in a matter of time," Bradley said.

"We may lack a little bit in experience - I'm the only senior," Arellano said, "but we'll pick it up in those other areas."

If the Roadrunners pick up from where they left off last season they should easily step into a position of contention this year - despite sharing a conference with Fort Hays.

Piece of cake.

The men's basketball program will be younger and slightly smaller this season in comparison to last year's 18-9 finish.

This will not be a problem. Coach Charles Bradley said the team will be different, but nonetheless continue their emergence as a conference contender.

The 'Runners finished 7-3 in the Colorado Athletic Conference during their last year in it and lost to Regis University 80-84 in the conference semifinals.

The semifinal loss marked the third such defeat of Metro by Regis that season. The earlier losses were both close.

Metro lost play- . .---------------~ ers Bobby Banks, who led the nation in assists, Justin Land, the team's leading scorer last season, and 7-foot center Cory Reader.

"Any time you lose a 7-foot kid it's going to reduce your the human touch size," Bradley said.
