A light-rail train and a car carrying a child collided at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Colfax Avenue and 9th Street Park at the Auraria Campus. Although no one was injured, a Denver police officer said the car was "pretty far gone." "She came around the comer, and all I could do was pull back the brake," said Light Rail Operator Rex Wickenhauser, whose train was carrying 50 to 60 passengers. Despite efforts to stop, the 88,000pound eastbound train crushed the driver's side of the red Honda Prelude driven by Metro student Pamela Duncan, 27. "We're lucky we didn't-get pushed into that," said Duncan to Wickenhauser, pointing to a pole two feet away from the car. In the back seat of Duncan's car sat her 3-year-old daughter, Sadie, unharmed. She was on her way to the Auraria Child Care Center. "I was in the middle of the road and the lights were not flashing," Duncan said. "Then, I started to turn. I was so far in the intersection, I didn't even see hi m. " "We just do our best to stop," said Wickenhauser, who has been operating light-rail trains for three years. Witnesses said the sound of the light-rail horn blew frantically before impact, then there was a moment of silence before the doors opened and the passengers hurried off. 'The whole thing just shook," said passenger Eugene Mason. "He must have froze or something, because the doors wouldn't open. It was a good two minutes before he opened the doors to let us out."

Metro appeals lawsuit· $300,000 settlement appealed Tuesday Mike l.arkin The METROPOLITAN Former Metro professor Phillip Thornton won a judgment of $238,557 and attorney fees of $93,872 in a Dec. 27 judgment against Metro and President Sheila Kaplan. Attorneys for Metro appealed the decision Tuesday. The college and president were listed as two of the 21 defendants in the 2-year-

old civil case that alleged Metro discriminated against Thornton, who quit his job and sued the college in 1995 after he was denied tenure. Metro President Thornton, Sheila Kaplan a former accounting professor, said he was denied tenure because of actions he took in

defending a man applying for a job in his department. Thornton said that during the review of the man's application for employment, the panel inappropriately discussed and made derogatory comments about his religion. Metro attorney Scott Silzer, who did not represent the college in the case, said that the appeals could keep the case in court for several years. He said that if Metro's appeal does not succeed, the damages could be paid by Risk Management, the company that insures Metro. Thornton was suing for reinstatement at Metro as well as the compensation for damages he was awarded.

METROPOLITAN

Monday's RTD bus-pass forum, presented by the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, was called "successful" by those who attended. SACAB members, RTD representatives and student government members of Metro and Community College of Denver presented the pros and cons of continuing the bus pass for another two years at an increased fee. · The audience of 60 people was mostly in favor of the bus pass, said SACAB chairman Dan Mahoney.

"There was a person who continually challenged the program in the audience, but the remainder of the people in the audience overwhelmingly supported the program," he said. At the forum, two different referendum questions were presented to the audience. One would call for a flat $19 per semester fee, the other for a $16.70 fee for the 1997-98 school year, which would be increased again to $18.80 the next year. The extra revenue generated from the $19 fee would serve as a buffer in the event of an enrollment decline. Additionally, if enrollment remains the same or increases, the extra money from

Chain letter circulates· on campus computers Ryan Bachman The METROPOLITAN Late in the fall 1996 semester, a chain letter appeared on the campus computer network and was distributed for a short period of time before arriving in the office of Metro President Sheila Kaplan. A memo from Leon Daniel, associate vice president for Information Technology, was immediately sent out demanding that the letter and further misuse of school facilities stop. Computing department officials said the origin of the chain letter was never discovered, since it was probably sent to the campus network from an outside source via the Internet. The letter's short-lived circulation also made it impossible to trace. A chain letter through e-mail works much the same way as through the post office. A person receives one letter, usually from an anonymous sender, instructing them to send copies to a number of acquaintances, accompanied by the same instructions. And although

sending chain letters through the Internet has only recently gained attention, people in the computing department said it has been happening for quite some time. "I personally do not think that users of the campus network should use it for anything other than for campus use," said John Reed, director of Information Technology. Reed cited the appropriate use of facilities statement, which students are required to read and sign when getting an account. Though the act of sending a chain letter through the campus network is not illegal, it is a direct violation of the Appropriate Use Policy. The policy can be found on the Metro home page and is an agreement to be followed when establishing a network account. This agreement distinctly expresses the prohibiting of offenses such as ·slander and harassment in addition to the viewing of pornography on state-owned facilities. Unlike harassment, a chain letter is not punishable, although some may find it annoying.

Musically multicultural ~American

music class now satisfies multicultural credits

Rob Larimer -<The METROPOUTAN

This spring semester Metro students have a new option for satisfying their multicultural graduation requirement. The Music Department announced in December that MUS 190, Musics of _.,. America, was recently approved by the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee as a class that fulfills the school 's multicultural and general studies level II requirement. This is the first and only * class offered by the Music Department to do so. "We're proud to be engaging in the campuswide dialogue of multi- -t culturalism," said Dr.

the class, students should be able lo identify different cultural music ~nd what that music's role is in that culture. Students who enroll for MUS 190 this spring will receive upper division credit under the course's new number, MUS 300. Metro students are required to complete at least three credit-hours of multicultural classes to graduate. Multicultural classes are designed with the intent to increase students' appreciation and awareness of the American culture and the diverse cultures which contribute to it, according to administration. The multicultural classes examine the values, traditions and beliefs of racial and ethnic groups in the Unites States, including groups classified by gender, sexua1 orientation, age or disability. Classes seeking a multicultural designation must be approved by the Metro Faculty Senate . Curriculum Committee. The determining factors for Multicultural course status are: • the number of credit hours, • the multicultural designation being sought, • the means by which the criteria will be met and • the course category (Arts and Letters, History, Social Science, Natural Science or Senior Experience). Metro's administration hopes that multicultural education will help the academic community realize that the acceptance of diversity can increase performance potential in positive ways and enrich lives through an understanding of cultural similarities, commonalties and differences.

The course will examine the evolution of American music d / h an exp Ore OW mUSiC iS a VOiCe for our culture.

_ ,.,_

Larry Worster, the course instructor and designer. Worster said that the course will examine the evolution of American music and explore how music is a voice for our culture. He explained that different cultures use music for different purposes, such as communication and "cultural warfare." He said that the course will also examine popular cultural music and how different types of music influence each other, like African-American music's influence on the roots of rock 'n' roll, and how the musical products of separate cultures have mixed to form new blends; as an example, Worster cited the combination of rock 'n' roll and hillbilly music to form rockabilly music.

that fee would go back to student-funded programs. Despite the work of SACAB to inform the students, "none of this means anything if it doesn't get to a student vote," Mahoney said. The referendum still faces several hurdles in order to have a chance at the polls. The language must be approved by the Auraria Board of Directors, then by the governing body for each of the three institutions at Auraria. "If it fails in any one of those three boards, it goes away again," Mahoney said. "It's that 'one strike you're out' theory." If the referendum passes the boards,

then the students can vote. Even then, a 'yes vote' does not ensure the continuation of the program.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said in December she will recommend that the state board of trustees, who make the final decision on student fees, reject the program - even if approved by the students in a democratic election. Mahoney stressed that students make their opinions known to the administration and their student governments. He added that it is important for the student governments to lobby in a representative fashion for their constituents. The Auraria campus has 6,000 parking spaces and 34,000 students; some think that discontinuing the bus pass could add even more automobiles to the already crowded lots. "If it is hard to find parking now ... it would be even harder when you add three or four thousand students," student John Warren said.

Black HisttJJry Month

Black History Month is an outgrowth of Negro History Week, established in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson . In 1976, the observance was expanded to "National Black History Month" in honor of the nation's bicentennial. The month reminds all Americans of the varied roles African Americans have played in shaping this country. The national theme for the 1997 Black History observance - "African Americans and Civil Rights: A Reappraisal," is an appropriate one as we approach a new century. The following special events planned for the month of February are dedicated to all those heroes and heroines, sung and unsung, who participated in the momentous struggle for freedom, dignity and justice that propelled the modern Civil Rights Era.

OPINION~

JANUARY 31, 1997

President urges careful consideratiOn of fees I am writing this letter to introduce myself as your newly elected Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Government President. My name is William H. Coker IV and I am really proud to have been selected and elected to serve the rest of my term as president. William As many of you know, Coker the previous president, Stephanie Stevenson, was found ineligible to hold the position. I would like to take the time and set the record straight on her behalf. Stephanie is a strong student leader who is dedicated to empowering students to take charge of their '1o.l. futures and their communities. I would remind everyone that there are alwaysilwo sides to every story and that ' we all are human and make mistakes. I owe Stephanie a great deal of respect and praise. As matter of fact, I think everyone on student government would acknowledge that without her influence many of us would not be on student government now. I wouldn't be here today if she didn't invite me to run on her "Ticket To Empowerment.• Thanks Stephanie. However, as student government leaders, it is our responsibility to go forward and address the issues that_ confront this school today. If someone were to ask me what are the main issues confronting this campus today, I would say money, money, money. Students are constantly being asked to approve student fee or tuition increases.

see or touch? Maybe it shows up in the form of more services at the student health center, or more expedient and accurate information from the advising office, or maybe it can be seen over at the financial aid office in the form of shorter lines, or higher graduation rates. I don't know, but I state we have to ask that question if we are going to continue to pay more for an education. Recently I was talking with Zav Dadabhoy, Director of MSCD Student Activities, about the same concept. He likes to label it the "more bang for your buck" concept. We agree and disagree on what exactly that means to the student, but we do agree on one point and that is finding the balance. For instance, the RTD bus-pass issue is one of the issues student government is confronted with. On one side, all full-time enrolled students who attend Metro would be required to pay a fee in order for the program to be utilized by the few. Don't get me wrong, I think the concept is a great one. It's good for the environment and it's good for Colorado. However, once again the issue of value comes into play. If I pay for something and never use it, I have to ask what was really in it for me - did I get out of it what I put into it? Is it fair to make someone pay for something that they will not benefit from directly? Whatever side you're on, I hope you take the opportunity to vote if the RTD issue goes to a referendum. You see, that is the key; get involved and take charge of your own destiny. As a student leader, I encourage all of you to voice your opinions and act on them. Another issue we face this semester is the third phase of a tuition increase. This increase is the flnal stage of a three-phase plan that if completed will see tuition increase by 12 percent in the past three years. Separate from the standard 2.5 percent increase apt;>reve(i.iby tHe state;- On:-ene side:--ltle administration f~hat in-0rder·to..imf)rove tAe qu~ity of eoocation and student services the increase is a must. On the other side, students would have to pay for the improvementswith higher tuition costs. Your student government has been meeting and questioning the vice presidents of Metro's administration to set the record straight and to find out if these increases are really needed to make

student life better. Bottom line, we have just two main questions: Did you, the (administration), spend the money where you said you did last year? And two, where do you want to spend the money this year and how will it benefit students? As part of that strategy, we are looking into areas of student life that we as students feel could be made better. We will present these recommendations to the administration for implementation. Student government has not reached a decision yet on either issue; however, we strongly encourage all of you to educate yourselves on the issues. A couple of weeks ago, I attended a presentation made by the Colorado Student Association to the state legislature Joint Budget Committee. The JBC approves funding for state-instituted programs. CSA was there making a presentation to the board requesting an increase in money for student needs. Rep. Tony Grampsas asked something that I feel was quite profound: "What, other than money, can we do to make student life better?" He went on to say that the JBC is constantly being bombarded with requests for money. But he wanted to get to another level and that is the world of new and innovative ideas. Money can only go so far in solving the issues we face, not only on campus, but in the world as well. One bright and new idea could really make a startling difference. I challenge each and everyone one of you to think about what Grampsas said. I believe that everybody has something to contribute. Express yourself and get empowered to act upon your own innovative ideas. In closing, I would like to say that not every issue we face revolves around money. Most of the issues involve people and communication; rather, that's students working with the administration, students working with faculty, or students working with each other. I am here on Metro student government to resol11e conflict between people, not to create it.

'Getting involved' part of your college education Dear Editor, Most students at Metro · have very busy lives and only come to campus for their classes and then they leave. For some people, that is their only option due to family responsibilities, etc. A problem with not really "becoming a part" of your college is that you miss out on a lot of great experiences. College is definitely a lot more than just going to class, doing the homework, getting a grade and being rewarded with a piece of paper at the end. Do you really want that piece of paper and those grades on a grade report to be your only memories of college? There is so much more out there for everyone, no matter what interests you. Metro has many student organizations and activities for its students. r When you see a sign in a hallway advertising a meeting or an activity that sounds really interesting to you, don't say to yourself, "I wish I could go to that..." You can. If you want your college years to hold many happy memories, you will go when you see that sign. One group on campus that is here to serve the students and the Denver-Metro community is CoPIRG. CoPIRG is an environmental and consumer rights organization that has been in existence at Metro since 1987 when students voted to assess themselves an optional fee on their tuition bill. Last semester student members of CoPIRG worked on and successfully passed Amendment 16 to save 300,000 acres of public trust lands in Colorado. CoPIRG also worked on hunger and homelessness, youth vote and toxics right to know. Students really made some positive changes. This semester CoPIRG is working on an environmental defense campaign to stop the roliback of some of our most important environmental and health safeguards. Students are working to educate the local communities and influence their legislators at the capitol to \ not vote for any legislation that would weaken existing environmental laws. We are also working on organizing Earth Week '97 to be held April 21-25. CoPIRG also offers internships for course credit or experience. One of the internships offered is at the legislature. For more information, call Joey at 556-8093. CoPIRG is just one of the many worthy groups on this campus. Everyone should check out an organization and see what they can do to help as well as make their college degree worth as much as possible. CoPIRG and many other student organizations are located in the Club Hub in the Tivoli on the third floor. See what you can do to make a difference.

CORRECTIONS • In the Jan. 24, 1996, issue

the story "Students' teaching experience lacks any teaching," it should be clarified that students in the Early Childhood and Elementary Education were having problems with the field experience program and not the student teaching experience.

• In the last issue the Metro Women's basketball team was incorrectly called undefeated. They have been defeated but are'nationally ranked.

Tuition hikes not profitable Tuition is going up again! Of course this should come as no surprise to those of us who are aware of the annual stateimposed increases which are indexed to inflation. What is of particular concern is that we are again being asked to spend an additional 4 percent (above that indexed increase) for an education here at Metro. Troy You should be concerned. Grice Consider this: If you are currently charged $1,200 for tuition for this spring semester, next fall you will be charged $1,278 (automatic tuition increase of 2.5 percent plus the administration's requested 4 percent hike). Exactly $48 of that amount is supposed to go directly to improving your education (according to the administration). NQw at first glance some of you may d~lare that "48 bucks is no big deal; besides, my rich uncle is picking up the tab." Well, for those of us·who don't have rich uncles, $48 is, in the least, an amount significant enough to cause one to examine whether or not paying the extra $48 is worth it. If at this point you refuse to acknowledge that $48 per semester is significant enough to warrant your concern, than by all means I implore you to mail me a check for $48 immediately! Seeing that you place little value on $48 I would be obliged to accept your gift, and I promise to put it to good academic use. For the rest of us, however, the dollar concern here is of much larger proportion than just $48. Please allow me to explain. I took the liberty of calculating how these annual extra tuition hikes add up over time for the average student. If you entered Metro just as the first of these three annual extra tuition hjkes was imposed, and betore your first semester the tuition rate was $800 (a ballpark figure), and each year the automatic tuition increases were 2.5 percent; over the course of four years you will have spent $622.39 more than necessary. If you are in your fourth year at Metro, you should expect an education that is $622.39 better than when you started. Ask yourself objectively: If you were to set aside all non-relevant factors based on personal preferences, choice of classes and teachers, etc., are you getting your extra money's worth? All of you johnny-come-latelies don't get off without paying more either. You see, your tuition next semester will be increased by a percentage based upon a rate that is already significantly higher that what it would have been. I myself am not complaining about Metro. I've had wonderful instructors here who have patiently put up with me. I just don't see any appreciable changes in my education here. In fact an argument could be made that matters have gotten worse by the simple fact that the number of full-time professors has actually declined between 1995-96 and 1996-97. I took the liberty of looking up the number of fulltime professors last year which totaled 398 and then made a call, before finals, to the Human Resources department and found that that number had DECREASED to 381. Hmmm. If there's anything that can be done to improve the quality of education here at Metro, I should think it would be hiring more full-time professors, not less. At any rate, this extra tuition hike should be a concern. Troy J. Grice Metro Vice President of Campus Communication

New scenes, effects add to sci-ti classic Kevin Juhasz The METROPOUTAN tar Wars made its debut in May 1977. It was not the movie George Lucas wanted to make. Faced with a tight budget, time constraints and nervous executives at 20th Century Fox, Lucas released an incomplete movie. 1\venty years later, all that has changed. Lucas' mythical trilogy has become the litmus test for all other science fiction movies. Its success, along with that of Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic special effects production company, has given him the chance to go back and finish his movies. Lucas' professional success gives him the chance to introduce the trilogy to a new generation of fans, no do~bt to help along the new trilogy scheduled to be released in 1999. Most people know that Star Wars has Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and company battling Darth Vader and the Empire for control of their niche of the universe. Skywalker sets off to rescue Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and stop the Empire from destroying the rebellion. Star Wars is a classic, never growing old or becoming tiresome. No matter which edition is playing, the action is exciting and enjoyable. Sometimes the new Special Edition works, a couple of times it does not. Lucas, along with his team at ILM, added several new scenes and digitally added creatures to several others. The biggest of these is Han Solo's (Harrison Ford) confrontation with Jabba the Hut before leaving the city of Mos Eisley with Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guiness).

Lucas filmed the scene with Solo but was unable to get Fox to put up the cash to add Jabba. This is probably one of the most amazing new scenes. ILM did a great job on Jabba. It's a trea~ to see him moving about, arguing with Solo over a cargo he dropped from his ship when being chased by Imperial troopers. Lucas also adds several creatures to Mos Eisley, mostly things that other people are riding. The one drawback to the digitallyenhanced creatures is that they are a bit crisper than the rest of the movie. In some cases they stick out a little bit. Their addition was not as seamless as the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. The hunt for new additions is sometimes a distraction from watching the film. But it is definitely more enjoyable to watch on the big screen than on a television - sound being the biggest factor. Lucas also enhanced the sound for the movie and added some in parts. This adds to the excitement, but isn't perfect. An echo added to the moment when Skywalker and Princess Leia must swing across a chasm in the Death Star dominates the scene and makes it hard to understand what the characters are saying. Amazingly, the sounds of laser blasts do not reverberate. The film is also much clearer and more colorful. The negative of the film was cleaned by hand, frame by frame, by 30 people, and it took three years. ILM also helped along some of the older technology, removing the gray squares noticeable in space scenes and making Slcywalker's land speeder look like it is actually hovering, rather than resting on a sand-colored blob.

"I look forward to the day when we don't have to say 'she's a good woman playwright' or 'she's a good woman director,"' says Painted Bread director Luanne Nunes. "I just want to be recognized as a good artist."

students ranging from all-out balls to potluck picnics. Metro president of the club Meghan O'Connor notes that one of the main programs that the group provides is a discussion group caJied "Lunchtime Queeries" held around noon on most days. The group is a meeting place to discuss c_ontemporary topics affecting the community such as homophobia, relationships and safe-sex seminars. With over 700 people on its mailing list, LGBTA is a major Auraria pipeline to the gay community and would like to expand even further,

O'Connor says. She says that the climate at Metro is very accepting and friendly. "This is probably the best place I've been in my life," the Metro senior says. O'Connor would like to see an increased link to the outside gay community in Denver, she says, since many of the school's alumni remain in the city. Donnita Wong, the Univ~rsity of Colorado at Denver president for the group, says that she also feels a certain comfort on being out about her sexuaJity on campus and says she became involved because she felt that gay issues were not

being discussed enough, which forged a misunderstanding about many of those issues. "Education is an important thing," she says, "for queers and non-queers." She says the group is beneficial to gay stu~ents because it provides an education and strong social basis. Non-gay students also benefit from putting a face on those who are gay, and this creates more of an understanding. "I think that aJI students, queer or non-queer, need to listen and learn and allow themselves to be exposed."

Hardball Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN

In a perfect world - for a baseball player - the sun always shines. Snow and rain seldom occur and everyday of every year is suitable for shagging fly balls. That is not the case in Colorado, where the Metro State baseball team has already sprung into spring training despite some chilly weather. Opening day is Feb. 12 at home against the University of Denver, and coach Vince Porreco already has his team hitting. In fact, the team spent the entire fall semester hitting. They hit the books. They feasted on homework instead of hanging curve balls. They were working towards a higher total in GPA as opposed to RBis. The team hit .312 last year, and as a team they scored a 2.8 GPA in the fall semester. This is enough to draw raves from a tough, no-nonsense coach like Porreco. "If you talk about attitude and work ethic, these guys are@ly ~g.harQ, so l!m really optitnistia.ix>ut this cCllfliilg seasonr Porreco said. "For 33 guys to keep their cumulative GPAs at 2.8, it's pretty good. So they did a great job in the classroom." Transferring those classroom jewels to success on the diamond is Porreco's focus now. The goal is a quality of play driven by a quality of character. "We need to develop a winning attitude;· Porreca said. "We need all 33 guys being leaders instead of followers. Confidence is a big factor. If you have a guy that has a lot of confidence, it's tough to beat him." The Roadrunners will try to gain that confidence as Porreco's fourth season rolls along. A lot of changes have been made in those years. Everything from practice to

A strong contingent of seniors return for a final year. They are led by No. I pitcher Mark Sheley, first baseman Craig Leisge and outfielder/catcher Jay Vean. Sheley went 4 and 5 in 11 starts last season. He missed several starts due to tendonitis in his shoulder. He posted a 6.98 ERA and pitched four complete games. Sheley gave up 29 free passes in 58 innings of work and allowed only four home runs. Both Leisge and Vean have power and will probably be hitt.ing in the middle of the lineup. Vean hit .339 in 168 at bats last season. He smacked seven home runs and drove in 32. Leisge knocked in 23 in '96 but was only able tq mana,.ge a '.75~,ayoffl_ge. He tallied follf ho~ runs on the year. "We got a great senior class coming back, which is probably the most important thing," Porreco said. "We got some guys which are leaders on the team, which we have lacked a little bit in the past." Porreco plans to go with a starting rotation of four pitchers with some others filling in from time to time. With Sheley occupying one spot, the three remaining places will be filled by junior Geoff Abbey, junior Brett Karabensh andjuniorT.J. McAvoy. If the threesome of juniors are able to avoid injuries, Metro should bring down last year's 7.% team ERA, while gaining valuable experience for their senior year. As is always the case, catching will have a lot to do ~ with the success of the pitching staff. Porreco is expecting big things from his catchers, especially Pat Max.well. The junior will get most of the time behind the plate. Maxwell hit .312 last year and led the team with I0 home runs and 56 RBis knocked in. If he is able to generate similar offensive numbers and work well with the pitchers, it will only improve Metro's chances. "Pat has been here two years ... and he's matured all

JANUARY 31, 1996

Imported tennis set to win A. Jeter The METROPOUTAN They're the perfect family. They live together. They eat together. They study together. They play together. They're the Metro State tennis team. Most of the players agree that the living arrangement provides a level of strength to the team. "It helps to build character with the team," said second-year veteran Nathan Green, who put the deal together. "If you don't have a bond with the team, it's not going to happen." Green, who is playing No. 5 singles and No. 3 doubles going into the spring season, said that the kind of unity that the team is achieving will most likely create a momentum that will carry them to national competition, which is the team's ultimate goal. If the fall pre-season is any indication of this team's power, that goal won't be hard to achieve. The men's team went undefeated in five matches. The women lost only one, despite losing last season's hefty No. I singles player

Danielle Nelson when she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her knee during a match in the fall. If this were last year's team, that loss would have set the women back for the rest of season since they were only playing with half a deck. This caused them to give up much-needed team points to match forfeits. However, this year saw the recruiting magic of former coach David Sileo who searched for players outside of the U.S . His efforts were rewarded with powerhouse players like Maria Nystrom from Sweden who took over the top spot when Nelson was unable to play. Still, Nelson, who underwent surgery and two months rehabilitation on her injured knee, will be back on the courts for the spring season. Teaming Nelson and Nystrom with four other paramount players, the women have a solid team intent on being the paragon for Division II. "Our main goal is to be the number one school," said No. I doubles player Fabiana Uriarte. "We have a big chance to get there." The women aren't the only ones with domination in their plans, and for

one of the men, winning isn't enough. "We don't just want to win. We want people to know who we are," Green said. "The aspiration is nationals. We want to win them soundly in the first few matches," said Green who was thought to belong to the John McEnroe school of tennis last season because he used to holler at himself to get back into matches. This time around, Green said he is much calmer because his mental game is better and that has forced him to get on top of the balls quicker and better. This trend seems to be true for all of the men, and this has come from relentless practice, as they are_ constantly working to become better players, said the third-year returning Buu Le. The team 's strong work ethic pulls it all together, he said. "When they're on the court, they're giving 100 percent," he said. That 100 percent will be the determining factor of whether these teams make it to national competition, but if pure confidence were a prerequisite for that, the Roadrunners would already be qualified.

Baseball team on winning academic track things from Maxwell." Vean and senior Matt Burton will help take the load off Maxwell in spot duty behind the plate. Porreca emphasized pitching in the off-season by bringing in new pitching coach Kenny Leonesio, a former Metro player, and concentrating on the mound in his recruiting. "In this region, you're going to score runs, so the name of the game is pitching and defense," Porreca said. "If you can hold somebody down, you'll always score runs. No matter what level you're at, if you have a pitching staff you're going to be successful." Speed on the base paths kills and Porreca knows it, especially with a solid lead-off man. The coaching staff is still trying to determine who that man may be. Porreco's list of candidates includes outfielders Jason Brandenburg and Travis Betz, and infielders Marc Fagnan and Neal Vallejos. In the warm but not-so-comfortable surroundings of the Auraria Events Center, Porreca has plenty of time to decide on those positions. Hey, it's not a perfect world.

The women's basketball team is in second place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. They have been ranked for four weeks, as high as 18, in the USA Today/Coaches poll and are currently ranked at 21 . They haven't missed a step from last season's success as Colorado Athletic Conference champions, despite only two returning players. Yet. talk to any ofthe players, and none are content with the direction of the team. They all see room for improvement 15 3 "We're right where we want to be in terms of winning and losing," coach Darryl Smith said. "But I still think we have a long way to go as a team we can get a lot better." Smith pointed out the team's inconsistent shooting as an area for improvement The 'Runners rank ninth in the conference in fieldgoal percentage at 37 percent Defense, however, has carried this team. They have held the opposition to an average of 59 points. '1 think that is why we are beating teams, and that is why we are getting by with just shooting 30 percent. Our defense is picking up for it," said Shiloh Justice, the team's defensive anchor. Justice, the conference's third-ranked rebounder, is pulling down 9.3 boards per game. Picking up the scoring void left by allAmerican Yanessa Edwards has been newcomer Stephanie Allen. The freshman point guard from Littleton High School leads the team and ranks fifth in the conference in scoring with a 16.4 average. Earlier this month against Western State, she drained seven threes on her way to a 35-point finish. Allen has been complimented by junior transfer Kristi Baxter, a three-point specialist

Over half of her scoring this season has come from behind the arc. Allen and Baxter rank sixth and seventh in the conference in three-point shooting percentage. Metro has made more threes (109) than any other team in the conference. Perhaps the player with the biggest impact on the team this season has been Farrah Magee. The 5-11 post player averages eight rebounds and 12 points a contest Magee can also hit the three, hurting teams inside and out Baxter and Magee are among several new faces on this season's 'Runners squad.

Yet, something is definitely different these days with this team. The team has lost two players and gained another. It has also gained something else. Something that can not be detected

season's 20-8 team that competed in the NCAA division II regional competition. Kudos to Smith for the excellent rebuilding job, even if that wasn't what he was trying to do. "You know, we never rebuild around here, we always try to reload," he said. Smith's roster has diminished to eight players, however. Katie Camp, a 5-10 freshman, never played this season because of shin-splints and has been named a medical red-shirt to preserve her eligibility. Guard Kainoa Burleigh left the team after four games, and freshman Kristen Weidler injured her knee last week and may miss the rest of the season. Raquel Ruff, the team's lone guard off the bench, doesn't suspect the diminished roster will hurt the team. Already Smith and his team are setting their eyes on the future. With out any seniors on the squad, the team stands to lose nobody. They will only stand to gain and build on this season's experience.

Women whip Mines Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOUTAN

The sky was falling Tuesday as the women's basketball squad used nine three-pointers in a 7450 win over the Colorado School of Mines to extend their current winning streak to four games. Over the weekend the 'Runners (15-3 overall record, 11-1 in conference) beat Regis 53-40 to earn sole possession of second place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. On Saturday, Metro squeaked past Colorado Christian 64-61. With eight seconds remaining, Stephanie Allen broke a 61-61 tie with a three-pointer. The freshman point guard finished with 27 poinrs. Against Mines, Allen finished with 16

points, tying with Metro post player Farrah Magee for the team high. Magee also pulled down 10 boards. Guard Kristi Baxter led the team from behind the arc, draining four for eight and finishing with 14 points. On Friday, Baxter led the team in scoring agail).St Regis with nine. With threes and unwavering defense, the 'Runners executed almost flawlessly during the 24-point victory. Or maybe it just seemed that way.

Hke a freak storm suffocating biue skies, the defense. It's as if the other team knows they have just been tossed into the piranha tank. There is the first of many steals to come. Steals that sometimes end in the unforgiving alleyoop. The defense is different. It is not so much different in scheme as it is in intensity. The presses and traps are stifling, and they are coming much sooner and more often in games. Metro i!_getting some easy buckets off turnovers, building big leads and then coasting. Earlier in the year they were

fighting for every point. The defense was missing in action in a game earlier this month at Western State in which Metro gave up a school record 116 points. Since then it has risen like a phoenix to new heights. Ever since the team came off the Gunnison trip, it has been working to improve the defense, Bradley said. That work seems to be paying off. Metro has held its last two opponents to under 60 points and thoroughly dominated both games. The Roadrunners (10-6, 6-6) have nine games left in the regular season. Nine games to reach their goal of making it to the conference tournament and then winning it Five of the nine games are on the road where the team must continue its winning ways. ''We want to have enough momentum going into that conference tournament and get a high enough seed," senior CJ. Arellano said. Arellano also alluded.to a need to win at home. There is no doubt that this team believes it can win a tournament on their turf. Any member of the team at any point in the season, from the coach to the last player on the bench, has given a similar answer to questions about goals and the future.It's tournament or bust The defense of the last few weeks may get them there. "Our team has been working hard," freshman Loni J®~ ~d, "We've baQ.,a CQUple of downfalls, but we're ready to play now. We're intense and we're going to beat some teams."

Men mash Mines Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN After recent decisive wins, optimism lurks around the Metro State men's basketball team. The Roadrunners trounced three different conference opponents by an.average.of 21 points. Taking the beatings were R~ 87-71, Colorado Christian 83-59 and the Colorado School of Mines 74-51. Metro (10-6, 6-6) attacked Mines (4-14, 2-10) early Tuesday with full-court pressure designed to take advantage of the Orediggers' speed deficiency. It worked to perfection, propelling the team to a 12-4 lead they would nevec relinquish. The victory was special for senior guard CJ. Arellano. He began his college career at Mines and transferred to Metro after his freshman season. In two previous years with the Roadrunners and three tries, Arellano had never beaten his former team. "I feel pretty good," Arellano said "I mean, I knew this program over here was better, that's one of the reasons that drew me over here to Metro, so, (we) kind of proved it tonight, finally." It was not Arellano's best performance. He managed one point, a pair of rebounds and three assists. The victory still meant every bit as much.

"I knew my role tonight," he said. "My role, maybe, wasn't to go out and score points but to get everybody else involved. Once you get the flow going, of course we're going to win big, 30 points - not bad." Adam Apodaca canned five of six threepoint attempts on his way to a team-high 20 .points. He also grabbed seven rebounds and handed off four assists in 32 ..piinutes. Apodaca and guard Sidikie Kamara continually frustrated ·the Orediggers with their inspired defensive play. Each player nabbed three steals and out-hustled their opponents countless times. '1 don't feel like rve played well yet, but it's starting to come around," Apodaca said The Roadrunners are mastering the art of playing down, playing big. The team is not letting itself become big-headed in victory. Each man steps out of the locker room ready to pat the others on the back and always talking about getting to the conference tournament ''We've really just been coming together as a team," Apodaca said ''We don't have any superstars. Anybody can do it any night" DeMarcos Anzures was the man for the job against Regis last Friday. The basket seemed to inhale his shots. Anzures poured in 28 points, a season high for any Metro player. The freshman sensation snagged a team-high see MEN page 21

"But our defense is strong and that's what counts right now." Mines didn't respect Magee's outside shot and left her open on two occasions. She burned them both times for two three-pointers. Magee praised Smith for bringing along her shot as well as her inside game. In the case of Smith and Magee, it is a mutual-admiration club. "She is j ust a workhorse," Smith said about Magee. "Her work ethic is outstanding, that's why she is a good player. She's a great athlete, as well. She goes 100 miles an hour the whole time she is out there; she never stops trying." Magee is in good company in the hustle category. 1be 'Runners have consistently grabbed more boards, forced more turnovers and blocked more shots than the opposition. Heidi Lake leads the team and ranks sixth in the RMAC with 20 blocks, including three Tuesday. "Blocking shots are bad, though," Lake explained with a serious grin.

Bradley has a long standing friendship with Regis coach Lonnie Porter, making his first victory that much sweeter. "It's always good to beat Regis," Bradley said. 'They have a good program and Lonnie Porter is a very good basketball coach. I have known Lonnie for along time, and I've got a lot of respect for his coaching." Adrian Navarro scored 22 in the game and Sidikie Kamara chipped in 12. Kamara turned in another strong defensive game, but turned the ball over four times.
