Female students attacked Two women cornered . in remote parking lots
Tripped victory

Two female students in separate events were attacked in parking lots near Auraria Campus by a man who covered their faces with a chemical-soaked material to knock them unconscious. One woman, who was attacked at a 5th and Curtis parking lot Nov. 5, scraped her lip, knees and hand but was able to escape, according to police reports. The other woman, a Metro stu6ent who was attacked Dec. 17, was reaching into her car for a backpack when the attacker sneaked-up behind her and covered her mouth with thick leather gloves soaked in a chemical. Lab tests indicate the substance was ether-based, said Denver Police Detective Richard Penington. The woman, who was on her way to class around noon, tried to fight off the attacker. "She didn't have · anything," Penington said. "She just used her hands and fought him the best she could." The woman lost consciousness and awoke in the back seat of her car, which had been moved from 1055 Wazee St. to the 500 block of Wazee street, near the rear entrance of KDVR TV station. The reasons for the attacks remain unclear and Denver and Auraria Campus police are releasing only limited details. "As far as I know, they weren't robbed, they weren't raped or anything like that," said Auraria Detective John Egan. Penington, who is investigating the December attack, confirmed that the woman was never sexually assaulted. Police, however, are not releasing the names of the victims, saying they have not ruled out a possible sexual assault motive.
Police sketch of the suspected Auraria assailant. Based on a composite sketch of the suspect, drawn by three witnesses, police are searching for a white male, early 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, "of average weight to husky build," according to a campus press release. He has blonde, feathered hair pmted in the middle, and his face is round and reddish "as if angry or sunburned." Both attacks occurred on a Tuesday. The woman in the Nov. 5 attack, of unknown campus affiliation, was in the parking lot around 8 p.m. After seeing a man wearing a white ski mask appear from behind a parked van, she ran for safety, but fell down. The man asked if she was OK. He then grabbed her in a "bear-hug" squeeze and held a chemicalsoaked cloth over lier mouth before she could get away. But, for unknown reasons, the suspect suddenly fled on foot in an unknown direction, according to police reports. Auraria Campus Police are requesting anyone who might be able to help identify the suspect to call Egan at 5563271 or 556-2263.

Up to 400 Metro students have been misplaced in student teaching positions by the school's education department last semester, according to several students and teachers involved with the department. Most of those interviewed by The Metropolitan asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. The misplacing involves late placements, which brought in the possibility of students having to work through Christmas break in order to graduate. In addition, studentS have complained that they are not even involved with students at the schools where they were placed. Instead, some students were shelving library books, filing test scores and doing other leg-work, which did not give them experience in direct student supervision, which is required to obtain a teaching certificate. According to the Metro course catalog, a student in the studentteaching program is expected to experience "a supervised full-time field experience ... providing increasing responsibility for the teaching, supervision, and direction of learners." Mark O'Shea, director of professional education said, "I don't doubt in some instances there may be inappropriate placings." He said that a major source of the problem has been discovered and is now being solved. ' "There is no unif.Qrm policy for placement," O'Shea said. "Individual faculty members are each trying to p1.ay a part (in the placement) ... The accrediting agency believes this is improper practice." As a result of the lack of a consistent policy, O'Shea said that Karen Robertson, chairwoman of Early Childhood and Elementary Education Department, has implemented a new policy for placing students, which excludes other teachers from the placement procedure. O'Shea said he is confident that Robertson is finding the best solution to the placement dilemma. But some teachers within the education department said that a virtual oligarchy has taken control over department policy, and the few administrators left making the decisions are to blame for the misplacements.

Con artists target campus Supply salesman unintentionally alerts campus to an old problem Mike Larkin The METROPOLITAN The beginning of the semester brought many people looking for opportunity to Metro, including would-be scam artists. A Jan. 16 campus-wide e-mail alerted departments to beware of a company calling itself AllState or AllStar. According to the e-mail, the company is claiming to be with the headquarters for the company that supplies Metro with toner for copiers. The caller, who identifies himself as Rick or Rich, asks the department for the model of their copier so he can update his records. Purchasing Agent Lynn Kirk said it is
a scam. "This happens at the beginning of every semester," Kirk said. "They (the callers) usually try to get a student who is not aware of purchasing policies." Kirk said that the calls can end up in the caller sending unsolicited, overpriced toner to the department. "One time in the last 10 years, a shipment actually got through to a department," she said. No one had ordered it, but the shipper insisted that someone had. The department refused shipment without opening the package and was not obligated to pay. The practice is difficult to stop. Once the scam is discovered, it has to be reported to the attorney gen~ral of the state
where the shipment came from. Kirk said that by 'the time that has happened, the company has changed its name and resumed business under an alias. This time the scammers were stopped by two separate employees on campus. The employees thought the caller's sales pitch sounded suspicious and asked why he did not already have access to the records he wanted. The employees contacted Kirk and reported the activity. Kirk commended the alert employees but said "there is no way to stop (scam artists)." Her advice is to "be educated and communicate." If you receive suspicious phone calls, Lynn Kirk can be reached at 556-3270.

Metro sees 729 graduate in December
Last minute preparations
Mike Larkin The METROPOLITAN
With the end of the 1996 fall semester, Metro unleashed 729 graduates into the job market at its Dec. 22 commencement ceremony. The graduates ranged in age from 21 to
63. The 729 represent less than six percent of the 11,9 l 0 declared majors at Metro, a figure consistent with last fall 's graduating class of 727 students. The most popular majors in the fall 1996 graduating class were criminal justice, 73 majors, behavioral science studies, 61 and accounting, 53. According to a December newsletter from Metro President Sheila Kaplan's office, the top three majors of the fall graduation closely resemble the breakdown of overall declared majors. The newsletter puts the top three declared majors' numbers at 846 criminal justice and criminology, 770 psychology and 740 accounting and pre-business. The number of females and males graduating was close, with 52.2 percent of the graduates female. Ethnic minorities were represented in 19.6 percent of the total.

Parking changes ease traffic Auraria says parking modifications won't . increase spaces Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN
Auraria is planning major modifications to two parking lots, but it will not necessarily mean more parking for students. Construction to expand parking lot M, located east of the South Classroom, by 100 spaces begins in May and Auraria expects to complete the project before classe,s begin in the fall. Most of this expansion will be for permit holders and users of St. Elizabeth's Church and is intended to help alleviate lack of parking in other lots. There also will be at least 32 two-hour meter spaces added. Auraria begins construction on a new building m spring 1998 in what is now parking lot G. This means students will have 275 fewer places to park. Mark Gallagher, director of Auraria parking, said at that point, Auraria will look at adding more parking. Construction is scheduled to be completed in August 1999, and Auraria hopes to build 100 parking spaces underneath the new building. Gallagher said there is plenty of parking on campus to handle the current campus needs. Although no formal counts have been done, capacity is es&imated at about l 50 perceHt, meaning all the parking spaces are used 1.5 times a day. "We have enough total space," he said. "Most people want to park close in, and we're not able to satisfy (that desire)." Gallagher said that the busiest time for the lots is between 10 and l l a.m. He suggested that students try • lots D and E to find parking, rather than wait in line at the
parking complex. Auraria also plans major modificati ons in front of the Tivoli including adding two cul-de-sacs to make it easier to drop off people, moving pay-booths back to help make traffic flow better and adding a left tutn lane at Ninth Street and Auraria Parkway. Construction has been put on hold until the city of Denver and Ascent Entertainment decide where they are going to put the new Pepsi Center sports arena. If it is built on Auraria Parkway, modifications made to the intersection and storm drainage may affect Auraria's plans. "We're probably looking at about six months (before a decision is PARKING CHANGE: made)," said Dean Wolf, the Tivoli parking will executive vice president for administration at Auraria. "Hopefully that issue will be settled." Ascent representatives refused to comment on how negotiations are going with the city. Wolf said construction is expected to cost over $1 million, but that Auraria needs to build it for less then that price. Construction at parking lot M includes narrowing St. Francis Way to two lanes, adding a cul-de-sac for dropoffs and moving the pay-booth further back. Construction on the $800,000 project is expected to

"We'll try to accommodate them as best we can," Auraria architect Kathy McNally said. Most of the redesigning and paving will take place at the beginning of construction.

prof's contract an 'error' Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN After an inquiry by the Joint Budget Committee of the Colorado General Assembly, the president of the state colleges board of trustees said Metro erred in creating a contract with a Metro professor who has not taught a regular class in more than two years. The inquiry took place in response to a Dec. 6 story in The Metropolitan revealing a contract between the college and teacher Courtney Price that required Price to donate half of her $69,315 statefunded salary to the non-profit Metro Foundation. Price is contracted to teach only two classes for the 1996-97 school year. In a letter addressed to the Trustees of the State Colleges of Colorado, President of the Board William Fulkerson states that Price's contract does riot appear to be illegal. He did say, however, that the contract is unacceptable. "There are definitely enough discrepancies in the arrangement to ask questions both of procedure and of value regardirtg the arrangement," the report states.

~records aren't so open and they don't come cheap, an extended inquiry by The Metropolitan found . Last September, the paper requested accounting information on 19 different companies in an attempt to see which companies the college holds state contracts with and how much money is being paid out to them. Attempts by the student newspaper to obtain this information were consistently ignored until a written open records request that threatened legal action - citing the Colorado law requiring that state records be available to the public prompted the accounting department to refer the matter to Bob Brock, assistant vice president of college communications. Brock in tum told the newspaper that the information was almost impossible to g3'her because of the archaic filing system the accounting department uses. Brock said that because of the hundreds of invoices, that anyone could "be let loose" in the records, giving them access to records that are supposed to be confidential. Colorado Revised Statute 24-72-201 states that all public records "shall be open

Brock sent a letter back to the college newspaper indicating such a that request "would require a week or more of work by Bob Brock . an accountant, Assistant Vice which would President of necessitate hiring Communications a full-time ternporary staff member so that ongoing accounting procedures would not be disrupted during the search." Brock also stated in the letter that the costs would be very high and that the college would likely seek reimbursement from the newspaper. "That is a crime," said James Brodell, Metro journalism professor and outspoken advocate of open records. Brodell said that under the open records law anyone should be able to look through the invoices.

LETTERS Dear Editor, I have a question. Were Brigett and I at the same seminar? After reading her "Grad School" article (Nov. 15, 1996), I'm not so sure. At the seminar I attended, Dr. Lockwood's presentation was informative, insightful and, most of all, comprehensive. That is more than I can say for The Metropolitan's coverage. Topics covered in this seminar ranged from available sources for gathering information about various programs to asking the right questions during the grad school interview. As a prospective graduate student, I came away from the presentation with a better understanding of the whole process and a clearer sense of direction. I feel sorry for those individuals who could not attend the seminar and are relying on your paper's representation. Sincerely, Lori Waechter Metro student
consists of nothing more than submitting an application and taking a "wait and see" attitude. I do not feel as though Ms. Camarena attended the same seminar that I listened to that afternoon - or was not listening carefully. Misquoted with detachment, Dr. Lockwood was quoted as having said, "The most critical ten minutes of the talk" with a professor is talking about the professor's recent articles he published. At no time did Dr. Lockwood make this statement. She said, 'What I am going to tell you in the next ten minutes is the most critical information you can receive," discussing ways to be more effective in the application process. . Other quotations were taken out of context and blatant re-wording was rampant. I respect our school newspaper and look forward to a continued relationship. But, please, facts are what 'the news should contain, not loosely interpreted events. Thank you, William Cole Psi Chi Metro President

hile Auraria Campus Police reports show that Auraria is one of the safest campuses in Colorado, there are still some statistics and crime prevention tips students need to be aware of. Crime at Auraria rose 8 percent last year, according to- the latest report released by Auraria Campus Police. Auraria police attribute most of this increase to Club America. The nightclub that was in operation during the 1996 school year but that is now shut down. During 1996, assault offenses increased by 87 percent and narcotic offenses increased from a total of six in 1995 to 28. Vandalism and destruction of property offenses rose 24 percent, while weapons law violations increased 3 percent. At the same time, driving under the influence offenses decreased from 18 in 1995 to three last year, which Auraria also attributes to Club America. "Last faH, activity with Club America got pretty busy, which put a lot of our resources over there," said Auraria Campus Police Lt. Gary Kasson. "That took attention away from other areas ·.that we would have worked on more aggressively." Even though Club America is now closed, Auraria police Chief Joe Ortiz said that the campus will still feel the ramifications. "Because of Club America, this campus has been brought to a lot of people's atten.tion," he said. "Crime statistics will probably continue to be higher than normal. People came down here and they liked the Auraria Campus, the theaters and the mall. They come to entertain themselves. Club America attracted up to 900 people a night."
Kasson said the key to staying safe on campus is to keep your guard up. "People come down here to campus and mentally shift gears because they are ·at an institution of higher learning," he said. ''They think crime stops once they enter the campus boundaries. It doesn't." The most chronic problem at Auraria is theft from offices and student lounges, Kasson said. "People need to be just as alert here with their personal belongings and equipment as they are at home or another office or traveling to and from work or school," he said. People who need campus police assistance should locate one of the 80 emergency phones located in every classroom building or dial 911 from a campus phone. Auraria Campus Police and Security Division offers night escorts, 24-hour police service, vehicle unlocks and after-hours admission into campus buildings. They recommend following five basic rules to increase your safety on campus: • Always lock your vehicle and hide belongings under a car seat or in the trunk. Passerby will be less tempted to take your belongings. •Always lock your bicycle to a campus bike rack and use a good lock, preferably a U-bolt type. Bike theft is the number one crime on campus. • Never leave backpacks, purses, bikes or other belongings unattended, even for a minute. They can disappear in that time. • Never walk alone at night. Walk with a friend or use the Auraria Nightrider service to get to your car safely. • Always report any crime or suspicious person or activity to Auraria Campus Police by calling 556-3271 for non-emergencies or 911 for emergencies. They cannot help if they do not have the information.

the 68th birthday of the promoter of peace, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was assassinated April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., and it is his compelling words and sacrifices that inspired the Peace Breakfast at St. Cajetan's last Wednesday. As a civil rights advocate, King challenged Americans to seek justice, freedom and equality without violence. He encouraged them to fight racism "not by drinking a cup of bitterness," but by rising "to the ·majestic heights." Jailed for fighting segregation in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963, King wrote "The Testament of Oath," in which he said there is an
"appalling silence of good people; we need men willing to be coworkers with God." "We must use time creatively," King said. "The time is always right to do right. Now is the time to move from the quicksand of racism to the solid rock of justice. Those who say 'wait' have never felt the stinging darts of segregation." In commemoration of King's contribution to society, four people from the Metro community, including faculty, staff and a student, were given 1997 Peace Awards for their efforts in keeping King's dream alive through their service to others.

In a poem, he urged people to: "Take this dream/Use it to renew your own lifeffo keep peace alive/Make it a reality; make it a feality." Growing up as one of Delgado's children, Ana Duran said guests sleeping on the couch and joining the family for dinner was a reality. She said her father "always offered our house. He taught us to open ourselves up to all different experiences." Duran said her father taught the family "of the spirit of the world around them and what there is to give ahd receive." As she announced her father's award, she said, "He is the poet, a teacher; he is the peacemaker." A poet, husband , part-time instructor at Metro and the University of Colorado at Denver, client services specialist for the Justice Information Center, counselor to migrant workers, father of 8 and grandfather of 17, Delgado at age 65 has been pretty busy serving others. "He is known for his spirituality and compassion for those be has chosen to serve," Duran said, "and he is always looking for the peace in all of us." In accepting his award, Delgado asked the audience to realize and remember that: "The dream belongs to all of us. We need to be true

him under the laws of apartheid," said Maureen Lancaster, associate director of adult learning services, who nominated him. Ramsey said the concern for the future of his two daughters under apartheid motivated his activism. As a city councilor for Bosmont, a segregated and poor community of Johannesburg, Rams~y reformed scholarship and bus-pass availability for students and "revolutionized modem housing for I ,000 homeless families who were exiles returning after President Mandela's release and the abolition of apartheid," Lancaster said. "Mark served in countless ways to advocate for the persons of color in South Africa and all economically oppressed peoples," Lancaster wrote in her nomination. But Ramsey's fight for justice ultimately lead to many threats on his own life. Whil~ on his way home in June 1993, Ramsey was assaulted by people anned with AK-47 rifles, forcing him and his wife, Patty, 35, and their children
into hiding where they then decided to immigrate to the United States, he said. "I've never heard him take credit for anything he has done," said Lancaster about Ramsey. He said his life philosophy is to not participate in any action in which a human being could te injured or killed. He said he w掳""d use the rules of the system to reform the system itself. "He would never approach any human being with injustice in his heart or without respect," Lancaster said. Holding the plaque engr.aved, "The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Award for Outstanding Commitment to the Great of Good," Ramsey said, "No one achieves anything by themselves." Later he added: "It saddens me. I am taken back to the people in Africa who have done more than me and get no recognition for it. So, I accept this award, but I am mindful of their sacrifice, humbled by their sacrifice." Ramsey graduated ftom Metro in December 1996 with a political science degree and is an accountant for Pan Energy of Denver, and he is working on a master's degree in political science at the University of Colorado at Denver. He said he plans to attend law school to continue to be a reform advocate on behalf of the oppressed.

0(-l,,//hen Metro English - /'// ~ r o f e s s o t Gwendolyn Thomas went to Green County, Ala., to stop the Ku Klux Klan from killing the cows of black Muslims, she said the sound of gunshots frightened her. It turned out to be one of the people in her peace advocate group just shooting a tin can in the field, but she said she wondered what she was doing with a group of radical peace activists. She did not realize her bravery and boldness would eventually e~n her the Faculty Peace Award. Dennis Green, Metro instructor of Sociology and African American studies, said she is most deserving of the Peace Award, and he knew exactly what he was in for when he first set foot into the Minority Mentoring Program under Thomas in 1989. He said he had heard of Thomas' bold spirit and had been warned, "Don't come into her class playing around." Green said he knew she was a perfect candidate for the Peace Award, crediting her for his teaching successes. "She didn't play by the rules all the time, but she always gave that extra push," he said. "She would say, 'What do you mean you got a B? You can get an A."' "I am the fruit of Dr.
Thomas," Green said. "She can take you beyond the classroom, constantly weaving life into the essence." Thomas' philosophy on life is to build and bring to light the potential of all hurrran beings. Green said he often heard Thomas say, "If you are anchored in what you are, than you can respect others." A respect for others is what Thomas seeks to promote through her involvement with _ the American Civil Liberties Union and through her membership in the Unitarian Church of Denver. Though Thomas said the Unitarian denomination is the best there is, she said, "No matter how good something is, it can always be improved." So improvement is what she and other church memoors sought when they went to a New York Unitarian Church, which she said
"needed to be more receptive to its black members." "Promoting the awareness of African American culture, Dr. Thomas has promoted peace, not only among her students, but in the larger comnrnnity," said Phelicia Morton, a senior in African American studies. "The basic motivation of my life and the many efforts are all done with the intention of improving our society - to make life better than it is." Green agrees that Thomas has a habit of improving lives by challenging growth in people. He said of her classes, "Every student comes out better then when they went in. When I crune out of there, I had a whole new wakif18 spirit." The spirit of Martln Luther King's words echoes through Thomas' philosopby. As he once said: "We are the rainbow colors melted into one.

Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen Staff Award 0(-J,,//f!_ile receiving the Staff Award, Yolanda Ortega-}"// ~ricksen', dean of student life, said, "I am going to hold this real, real tight, because it means so much to me." Holding just as tightly to the memories of growing up in Central America, she said she had not yet tasted racism and the feeling of being "different" that her mother had swallowed for not speaking English. Moving to the South and walking into a gas station to use the restroom changed all that. Ericksen said: "One sign said 'White' and the other said 'Black.' 'What should I do, Mom; I am not black, and I am not white.'" "My mother said, 'You go anywhere you want to go and be whatever you want to be."' According to her colleagues, Ericksen, who has worked at Metro since 1973, has encouraged others by following her mother's principles of respecting and allowing people to go where they want to go and be what they want to be. "She has set an example for me and for the students at Metro in tolerance and acceptance of all people," said Kate Lutrey, director of student publications, in her nomination of Ericksen. "Maybe it is not Yolanda's intent to emulate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. but her caring and compassion for her fellow human beings makes life at Metro all the more tolerable." Tara Tull, coordinator of women's services, described Ericksen as a leader on campus and in the community regarding issues of diversity and social justice. "She is not a one-issue woman," Tull said. Ericksen is the founder of many programs, now traditions, that celebrate diversity at Metro, including the Latino Literary Symposium, the Peace Breakfast and the Women of Color in Higher Education Conference, Tull said. She described Metro as being "on the cutting edge in the country" for having the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Service Office, crediting Ericksen as a key player in its creation. "She's been behind us all the way," said Karen Bensen, coordinator of GLB Services. Ericksen was given the 1995 Ally of the Year Award by GLB Services. "I'm nervous presenting this award, because I have so much respect for her," Tull said. "Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen brings a sense of humor and passion to all that she touches. A colleague once said, 'You can hear her laughter ringing down the hallways."' Still gripping tightly to her award, Ericksen said: "You are right, there is a dream out there with your name on it. Peace comes through love, understanding and commitment. It's a long, long journey and maybe we'll get there." If King were here today, Ericksen said: "He wJ>uld have a smile on his face, but he would know that his dream is surging, but there is still so much more to do. We're not there yet, but we are really, really keeping his dream."

Family future depends on safe sex Sexually transmitted diseases can effect health of partners and their children Travis Henry The METROPOLITAN
re you sexually active? If you are, this might be one of the most important things you read your whole college career. It concerns your health, your partner's health and your future children's health. It is time to talk about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The most common STDs treated by the Student Health Center are chlamydia, the human papilloma virus (genital warts) and herpes. Each has distinguishing symptoms and if left untreated could be devastating to a person's health. The human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most common treated at the Student Health Center, says Linda Valente, a certified women's health care nurse practitioner. Also called genital warts, this disease's symptoms are either external warts on such places as a man's penis and scrotum or a woman's vulva and vagina. Other types of this disease cause warts that cannot be seen that cause cervical changes and can be pre-cancerous and cause abnormal pap smears. Genital warts can be transmitted during heavy petting even without having intercourse. 路 "Even if people are using condoms they are not using anything to protect themselves from intimate contact," Valente says. Genital warts are treated by cryotherapy, laser and chemical treatrllent. Valente recommends that if you believe you have
A
HPV, you should get a medical examination, tell your partner or partners and have them get an examination as well. Herpes is another commQn virus that causes swelling, pain, itching and burning on or around the genital area. Blisters can form and people affected may suffer headaehes, fatigve and chills. Some carriers of the virus show no symptoms but can pass it along to their partner. Once a virus is with you, it is there to stay. "You can't kill viruses," Valente says. "It i~ more a matter of controlling a virus." Herpes is controlled by using anti-viral drugs. "Anti-viral drugs can keep the virus from multiplying and decrease the pain," she says. "The virus will always be there." You can also give yourself herpes. If you have herpes and engage in oral sex or touch your lip and then go to the bathroom you may infect previously u11infected parts of your body. Chlamydia is a pelvic inflammatory disease that can lead to painful infections of the reproductive organs that may lead to infertility in both men and women and can cause tubal pregnancies. About 75-80 percent of people infected show no signs of the disease. People who do show signs usually have a mucus-like discharge and a stinging sensation durSee STDs page- 21

Porno should stay legal, students say he movie The People vs. IArry Flynt has brought to light the larger issue of the First Amendment and whether pornography is protected by it. The movie details the life of Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine. Since the movie has been released, many people, including prominent feminist Gloria Steinem, in a column for The New York Times, have called attention to the fact that pornography degrades women and may even incite violence against them. Others, though, have supported pornography as free speech protected under the First Amendment. Robert D. Richards, founding director of lhe Pennsylvania Center for the First Amendment, sees the right to publish pornography as an important example of the extent of First Amendment rights. "Unless material is deemed legally obsc~ne, it has some degree of protection by the First Amendment," he said. "I think the general public has a difficult time swallowing that because they are looking at the particular individual on which the case is based - and that could be a pornographer or a flag-burner or a journalist who made up quotes or something like that." Richards, an associate professor of journalism and law, thinks people have a tough time looking at the overall picture and seeing how important First Amendment rights are. "It's hard to take that next step and say, 'Well, even though this case does protect this individual, it also goes beyond that and protects the right of the legitimate media to publish,"' he said. Richards also sees the current discussions as symptomatic of a larger problem affecting the country.

"I think the public increasingly has an appetite to censor material whether it comes on the Internet or across their television screens or in printed form," he said. Television ratings systems and the Communications Decency Act have Richards worried that censorship is looming ever larger. "Once these rights erode, it's very difficult to get them back," he said. Jon Feinberg, an employee of the Penn State chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, agrees th<\t although pornography may be offensive, the First Amendment is too important to cut corners. "Sure, pornography may be violent to women, but if you start censoring that, then what else are you going to censor?" he said, citing a recent commotion caused by a University art student's project. His opinion is close to that of some students who are not exactly fans of pornography but feel it should be protected under the First Amendment. "I think people should be allowed to read whatever they want," said Jerry Johnson (senior, science). Although Yvonne Rasor, co-director of Womyn 's Concerns, thinks that pornography is a problem, she doesn' t believe that outlawing it would do any good. "I'd like to see people educated in such a way that they choose not to use it," she said, adding that outlawing it would just force it underground.

Dentist looking for a. few good cowards Community College of Denver dental program offering students half-price work Michelle Ewing The METROPOLITAN
or a lot of college students, it is difficult to find the funds to support your health. There is now a clinic for low-cost dental work. Community College of Denver's Dental Hygiene Program sponsors this clinic where simple dental work can be done at an affordable cost. The clinic is open to the public and offers limited services such as
F
cleaning, polishing, exams, X-rays and some surgery. Major work such as extractions, bridges, caps, fillings and dentures must be done by another dentist. If this work does need to be done, the X-rays can be taken to another dentist. "Our prices are much lower than other dental clinics, so if you get your X-rays done here, you are still saving a lot of money," says Eloise Ross, a program assistant at the clinic. The students in CCD's dental program perfonn these cleanings under the supervi-
sion of trained, certified dental professionals. The students' work is carefully watched and the supervisor makes sure the work is done properly. Ross says the patients are in very good hands. Appointments must be made for the clinic. Ross advises that time should be allowed if you visit the clinic. Some appointments can be double booked, but patients are not postponed to a later date. Ross assures that patients are seen on the day for which the appointment is made. "Also keep in mind that these are stu-
dents," Ross says. ''The length of time needed for each f>atient is a bit longer than nonnal." The clinic will open Feb. 5. Hours are from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays and Fridays and between l p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesdays. It is located at 11th Avenue and Yosemite Street at the Lowry Campus. Prices are $15 for X-rays, $20 for a basic cleaning and between $60 and $80 fot a more thorough cleaning and examination. Call 367-4749 to schedule an appointment.

ost artists, regardless of their creative field, strive for that maybe-someday recognition of their efforts to communicate their vision. The Metro Center for the Visual Arts is now featuring Critics Choice, showing the recent works of 11 artists who have been selected as Colorado's best by Denver's most prominent art critics. The five participating critics include: Mary Chandler, Rocky Mountain News; Mary MotianMeadows, Urban Spectrum; Reynelda Ware Muse, KCNC News 4; Michael Paglia, Westword; and Steve Rosen, The Denver Post. Each critic could select between -1 and 3 artists for the exhibition. Critics Choice displays a diverse range of styles and media - ceramic sculpture, art furniture, painting, and installation art. Irvin Wheeler, a black artist, provides a powerful presence with his "Ancestor Series 3," a collection of walking staffs crafted from exotic woods accented with semi-precious stones, metal and shell. Although the staffs are sculptural forms, they reflect a strong African heritage. Wheeler selects woods with vivid pigmentation and active grains, creating visually arresting combinations of colors and patterns. '!be art furniture of Derek Davis is substantial without appearing cumbersome. Davis is a talented designer whose furniture possesses true personality. His bold jux-
taposition of wood grains results in dynamic patterns. His finishing skills give individual woods a beautiful depth that refracts light from all angles. Davis' furniture focuses on detail: an unusual piece of metal inlay, chisel work to create texture and deliberate use of negative space that is as necessary to the design's success as its solid mass. His craftsmanship is impressive, making his work definitive of functional art. Also noteworthy are the ceramic sculptures of Sushe Felix. Known primarily for her paintings, her clay forms balance a forcefulness with a sense of whimsy. Her combinations of glazes, paints and subtle textures make a strong statement to her new focus on art. Andrew Speer, an instructor of painting at Metro, contributes his abstract paintings to the show. Using a predominantly muted palette, Speer covers the surface of his large canvases with thick layers of encaustic and paints to create dense, heavy texture. The paintings feature built-in, smaller "islands" ef canvas that break up the flat surface. These islands float in the pictorial plane, occasionally straying outside of the canvas' boundaries. Speer embellishes more subdued colors with vibrant pigments that seem to rise off the surface of the painting. His use of pure black makes the colors all the more potent. His application of paint achieves a visual depth on the twodimensional surface that is watery, shifting and reflective. Although competition can be fierce in the art world, Speer prefers to stay out of it: "I don't believe in deciding better, best, good or bad .. .l've never cared for that

ing urination. Chlamydia is treated by antibiotics. While the only sure way to avoid these diseases is abstinence, there are ways to lessen your chances of contracting them. Latex condoms, spermicid9, latex dental dams (used for oral sex with women) and female condoms can reduce the risk. Women should be checked for chlamydia and genital warts once a year during their regular pap smears and within a month after starting a new sexual relationship, Valente says. Valente says that a doctor who treats women with abnormal pap smears recommends that, "If you are going to enter a relationship and be intimate with someone, you should make sure it is someone you are going to be with for a long time, or even forever." Once you have a virus, it is forever. ''Every time you enter into a relationship you are sharing these viruses,'' Valente says. If you believe you have one of these STDs or'' any others, you can visit the Student Health Center or Denver Metro Health Clinic for confidential testing and treatment.

'Kurt Cobain' right on target Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN
Kurt Cobain Was Right
look at the list of theater productions across the country shows that there are not any shows dealing with mass suicide, global destruction or murdering cats - three niches long neglected by the art world. The LIDA Project fills all of those voids with its production Kurt Cobain Was
A
Right. The play opens up in the year 2000, the evening after the presidential elections. Ultra-right-wing conservative Ford Landers (Dan Hiester) has been elected the first president of the new millennium. Ford is more of a puppet for his wife, the ambitious Snookems (Mary Gay Sullivan), who plans to use her husband's power to bring mass destruction to the world and usher in the second coming of Christ. In response to Landers' victory, the incumbent president and his family commit suicide, along with over half of his staff. These suicides cause the country to join in and plan a mass suicide for 6 a.m. the following day.
by Don Becker Through Feb. 2 Acoma City Center 11th and Acoma streets $12 Adults I $10 Students/Senior Call 293-9193 for information The Landers are like any other Christian family. They love God, country, apple pie - oh, and weird sex. Cobain is definitely not a play for the faint-hearted. The metlfod the Landers use to copulate .is hilariously bizarre. This on-the-edge pla>' contin~ally makes reference to adult subjects, while mockin$ many of society's goody-goody establishments. Hiester is very funny as Ford, who is more focused on having fun with his power and having sex whenever he can. His scenes where he prays to God and where he declares himself absolute ruler are shining moments. Sullivan also does a great job portraying a dominating wife. Even better though is the play's second act. It takes place during the same time
frame as the first. This time, though, we find Hiester portraying Charles Horse - a man whose life was thrown into chaos when a piece of his exploding Ford Pinto lodged in his brain. Horse lives a life of inaccurate prophecies, multiple personalities and confusion . He and his hippie wife, Mo (Tara M.E. Thompson), live with their rebel daughter, Dakota (Holly Wasinger), and jock son, Blake (Nils Ivan Swanson). This half displayed roore of the play's heart, while keeping the humor. Hiester continues the energy he brilliantly displayed in the first act. He does a great job showing us the chaos in Charlie's mind along with his struggle to deal with the ~onfftsion. Wasinger and Swanson also do well, showing their difficulty in dealing with the sick parent along with the problems that come with being a teenager. Hiester also had the task of directing Cobain and does a good job. The play moves well all the way through. The play was written by Don Becker, who also did Lucifer Tonite.

Women emerge from winter break with national ranking Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOUTAN
The nationally ranked women's basketball team suffered a humbling defeat Friday at the hands of the I Ith-ranked NebraskaKeamey Lopers, 55-76. However, the Roadrunners did not allow that to stop them from beating conference rival Fort Hays State 60-50 the following night. The 'Runners showed character coming back and beating a very good Fort Hays team, coach Darryl Smith said. "After last night they could have rolled over; I'm pleased with their effort tonight." The stingy defense of the No. 21-ranked 'Runners held Fort Hays to 19 points in the second half, allowing them to climb out of a three-point halftime deficit. Freshman point guard Stephanie Allen lead all scorers with 20 points, 15 - Kristi from three-point range, while battling first-half foul trouble. This gave shooting guard Kristi Baxter an opportunity to distribute the ball; she lead the team with six assists. Even more surprising, the player known more for her touch on the outside pulled down nine boards, again leading the team. "It was good to come out and prove that we are a Jot better than we played (Friday)," Baxter said. The difference between Friday and Saturday was intensity, post player Kristen Weidler said. 路 The adjustments were mostly mental, Baxter said: "Whenever we got down, we didn't give up, we kept fighting. (Friday) we kind of quit battling; we didn't fight back." Maybe not fighting back was the path of least resistance against a Nebraska-Kearney team that averaged 90 points per conference game and a victory margin of 35 points going into Friday night's match-up. Metro, by comparison, averaged 70 points per conference game and a 15-point victory margin. Nebraska-Kearney leads the Rocky
Mountain Athletic Conference in every statistical category. However, Smith expected more of a game from his team. After all, Metro is in the top five of every category and within threetenths of a point of Nebraska-Kearney m scoring defense. What he got was a 21-point blowout. "We're young and we're inexperienced; I think our inexperience showed," Smith said. "l'm very disappointed in our effort because I thought we gave up a lot tonight "I'm frustrated that we shot so poorly. Our leadership wasn't there - there's a lot of reasons why." Smith called the interior defense "horrible" and promised to make changes in the starting lineup the next night. The team's leading rebounder . and second leading Shiloh scorer, Justice, slowed due to a back injury, was benched durBaxter, guard ing the first half Saturday in favor of 6-foot freshman Heidi Lake. That night, Lake finished with seven points and two blocks in 22 minutes of play. Only one player scored in double figures Friday, post player Farrah Magee, with 21. Magee also led the team in rebounds with 13. Smith said the play of the night came in the final three seconds when NebraskaKeamey scored to push their halftime lead to 13. "If you can't play defense for three seconds in a game like this, then your mind is not where it needs to be." The struggles on the defensive end were mirrored on the offense Friday, as Metro shot a lackluster 35 percent from the field. "If we would have shot the ball a little better, especially in the beginning, it would have been a lot closer," Smith said. "We couldn't get any shots. We'd come down, shoot four, five times to their one a lot They 'd just make a one-on-one move and score. We'd run a little bit, get a good shot, shoot it, miss it, get a layup, shoot it, miss it. That really hurts you."
"Whenever we got down, we didn't give up, we kept fighting."

No. ·1-ranked Fort Hays State gives Roadrunners a 78-61 rude awakening Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN
If winning the national championship is the goal of the Metro men's basketball team, they'now know what it talces. Fort Hays State (15-0, 9-0), the defending national champions, who are unbeaten in 48 straight games, came to the Auraria Events Center last Saturday looking for number 49 and got it 78-61. The Tigers stunned Metro (7-6, 3-6) with a quick 10-0 bombardment in the opening four minutes. After a timeout, Adam Apodaca drained a three-pointer for the Roadrunners and the teams played even to a 39-29 halftime score in the conference game. Perhaps the most memorable moments of the game were provided by Metro's Sidikie Kamara. With 6:40 remaining in the first half, Kamara made two consecutive steals and dropped in two easy layups that pulled his team to within four and brought the crowd of more than 500 to its feet. Fort Hays regained its composure afld never let Metro get as close again. Every time the Roadrunners would chip away enough of the lead to get the fans excited, the Tigers would quietly show them back to their seats. "I think when you play a team like Fort Hays, which deserves all the rankings that they have, you have to pfay a perfect basketball game," Metro coach Charles
Bradley said. "You can't throw the ball away. You have to hit the easy shots and so forth, and we missed a couple of those and they converted. I think their threes are what killed us." itort Hays shot SO-percent from behind the arc and limited Metro to a paltry 37-percent shooting for the game. The second half followed form as the Tigers consistently buih leads as large as I 8 points only to have them whittled back down again. Metro could not prevent itself from making mistalces long enough to capitalize on some key opportunities to get back in the game for good. "I think that comes with experience," Bradley said. "That means I'm proud because we have a young basketball team with one senior and we're competing at that level, and it gives us something to really look forward to." Forward Adrian Navarro scored a double-double, I 8 points and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes. Navarro refused to let himself be intimidated by Fort Hays center Alonzo Goldston in the paint. At on~ point, the two big men stood literally nose-to-nose in a stare down on an inbound play that brought chuckles from onlookers. "He was just like looking at me, you know, without saying a word; he was just looking and trying to intimidate me, but I did-
n't let him," Navarro said. Although his team lost the game, Bradley said he found solace in the fact that his young team played a powerhouse to a final that was closer than the score would seem to indicate.. "We had them where we wanted them," senior guard C.J. Arellano said, agreeing with Bradley's perspective. ''We just gave them a couple of open looks, and that's what pumped it up. They weren't 20 points better than us tonight." Still, the loss wasn't the only thing to shake up the Metro team as it will now have to move forward minus two forwarOs, Kelly Haynes and Shakoor Ahmad. Haynes decided to return home for personal reasons and Ahmad was dismissed from the team for breaking unspecified team rules. However, the Roadrunners recently aquired Danny Brown of Phoenix, who transferred from Midland Junior College in Midland, Texas, to Metro. The 6-foot-9, 285pound sophomore will sit out the remainder of this season to concentrate on academics. Coaches hope to see him in uniform early next year. Fort Hays State 78, Metro State 61

Swimmers clamor for Nationals ·No Roadrunner yet qualified for ultimate competition Michelle Ewing The METROPOLITAN An exhausting 25-hours-per-week practice pace and hard work put in over the winter break may pay off soon for the Metro swimmers and divers in the weeks to come as they race for positions at the Division II Nationals. Presently, no one is qualified to attend national competition, but that will soon be decided in the two upcoming season meets and the conference swim early next month. Coach Rob Nasser is confident and assured that a good number of his swimmers will go to Nationals despite the fact that none have yet swam under the qualifying times. The Conference Championships will be the ultimate factor in choosing who will go, he said. "We are very prepared for the chal-

"We are very prepared for the challenge. This is the best group to be at Metro ever:' - Rob Nasser, swim coach will probably end up going." At this time in the season, swimmers are advised to get plenty of rest and prepare themselves on a more personal basis. Nasser said the goals of the team from now until the end are for a successful meet
WINTER REWIND the top three in the 200-yard freestyle with Josh Haney in first, Paul Hanis in second and Jon Watson in third. The men also swam strong in the 200-yard butterfly, claiming the top two spots, and the 500yard freestyle, claiming the top three again. Jan. 4: Metro 125, Principia College (Ill.) 95 (Men); Metro 131, Principia College 97 (Women)
against the School of Mines this weekend for the men's team and a push to improve personal bests in order to achieve the times needed for Nationals. The team itself is enjoying the small break in routine for relaxation, but the swimmers are still keeping the goal of national competition in mind. "We are all excited," said Heidi Cisneros, a freshman distance swimmer.. "Sure, there are rising nerves and anxiety, but we just have to remember that we have what it takes to win. All we need now is just a little more confidence." The teams will be swimming against the Colorado School of Mines this Saturday at 4 p.m. at Metro. The final meet before the Conference Championships will be against the University of Denver on February 3 at 4 p.m. in the home pool.

Sprinter Kristin Schweissing took first place in the 200-yard freestyle followed by teammates Nancy Rawell in second and Stephanie Tadlock in third.

The men dominated the 200-yard freestyle with Josh Haney claiming first place, Jon Watson in second and Matt Calhoun in third.
