Students rally for .professor Nearly 100 students 'walk our to protest Metro prof's tenure denial Ryan Bachman The METROPOLITAN

The Metro administration's decision to deny tenure to political science professor Robert Hazan has raised the voices of students and faculty and perked the ears of a key Colorado lawmaker.

Nearly l 00 students rallied outside the Central Classroom on Monday to blast the administration 's decision and to support Robert Hazan Political Science Hazan, who Professor has appealed the decision.

Student organizers accused the administration of having a "fear of students speaking their minds about the important issues on this campus."

caught the ....• • • • • • • • • • attention of the legislature's Se"nate Education Committee Chairman, Ben Alexander, RMontrose.

Alexander said Wednesday that he plans to meet with Metro President Sheila Kaplan and others about the Robert _Hazan issue and tenure policies at Metro.

Alexander emphasized he did not want to get caught in the middle.

"I am not there to tell her (Kl\plan) anything one way or another," Alexander

said. "I want to get some more information so I can have a better idea what is happening there."

Kaplan said Wednesday that the opinions of legislators "matter very much" and that she plans to meet with Alexander next week. She said that she could discuss tenure policy, but state law prohibits her from discussing individual personnel issues.

Tenure decisions do not come lightly, Kaplan said.

"I have never worked any place and I have worked in four different states - where the denial of tenure doesn't cause upset," she said.

Kaplan said student evaluations are the official student input that is taken into consideration during tenure review. As far as protests of administrative decisions on tenure, Kaplan said, "I want to hear what the students have to say, but there is a process for the appeal."

As another form of protest, students circulated petitions demanding that tenure problems must be solved so that instructors with a ·Ph.D. will continue teaching at Metro. Hazan has a doctorate from the University of Denver.

The petition also stated that students should have a college president who is visible and active with the student body.

The list of grievances on the petition insisted that: • purposeful attempts to mislead students stop • Metro President Sheila Kaplan begin behaving as if she cares about students' education or resign • the administration and President Kaplan stop abusing the rights of teachers •the students' faculty evaluations be recognized.

The petition also demanded that "restrictions on part-time faculty members be lifted so that they may earn a liv-

"What kind of an institution is this?"

Norman Provizer, chairman of the political department, asked the crowd of protesters. "In 20 years of teaching, I've

never encountered a teacher who devotes more time to education and to the department (than Hazan)," Provizer said.

Journalism professor Richard Chapman, who was denied tenure in April, said that he and Hazan were denied See DEMONSTRATION page 4

Future tuition at today's • prices •

Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN

Students soon will have a new way to combat rising tuition costs.

Starting this fall, Colorado residents can "buy future college tuition at today's prices," according to the Prepaid College Tuition Program, which takes effect July l.

The· program aims to make college more accessible for Colorado students who pay tuition prices that range from as low as $1,440 at Western State College to as high as $4,384 at the Colorado School of Mines.

Those who chose to use the program can purchase tuition units at a price based on the tuition rate of the year they buy it.

For the 1996-97 school year the average rate is $2,162, according to a feasibility study.

"It's definitely going to benefit students as well as taxpayers," said Robin Nolan, president of the Colorado Student Association, a student lobbying group.

"We have been involved in the process along the way, and we are pleased with the outcome."

It costs $50 to apply for the program, and once approved, participants must purchase a minimum of $1,000 in tuition credits. Purchases can be made in lump sums or in payments of $25 a month for five years.

The money invested in the program can be used at any public or private higher education institution in the United States, but not at for-profit schools or schools of theology. The money can be used for the purchase of tuition, books, fees and supplies.

The interest earned in the program would be exempt from state taxes, according to a bill that is making its way through the state legislature this session.

'This would make it a much more positive program," said Geri Reinardy, spokeswoman for the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

Reinardy said all taxpayers will benefit from the Prepaid Tuition Program because it will create more college graduates, who earn 65 percent more than those without a degree. ''They pay more taxes, which helps our economy," she said. "Anything parents and others do to help students save for college is going to be positive," she said.

If a participant in the program ends up not going to college, the tuition can be transferred to another family member.

Tuition ·hike harnessed Student government holds out on proposal A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The Metro Student Government Assembly made it clear last Thursday that they will consider supporting the third phase of a 12 percent tuition increase if Metro President Sheila Kaplan will allow students an active role in allocating the dollars.

Kaplan said she will grant the assembly's wish. The president and her cabinet met with government members in an attempt to win the group's backing for a 4 percent increase, the final phase in a threeyear overall 12 percent tuition hike above standard tuition increases. She agreed with the students down to the last letter of their proposal that the funds be directed to academic advising and mentorship programs.

Kaplan said that while she agrees with the assembly's suggestions, they cannot materialize without the tuition increase.

"Quality of services is directly related to the resource base we have," she said.

Hyoung ChangfThe METROPOLITAN

TALKING MONEY: Metro President Sheila Kaplan discusses the last phase of the tuition increase with student leaders last Thursday.

"For this institution to maintain itself and to improve the services, we need that resource base."

And that resource base is to come from Metro students, she said, because the two main sources of income for the school are state funding and tuition. Some money does come from the federal government in

the form of Pell grants and other aid, but it is not enough, Kaplan said. She said that the administration has tried to enlist private interest groups to give money to Metro and is now embarking on a major fundraising campaign to sponsor scholarships.

METROPOLITAN

Metro student government president William Coker told an audience at a student rally in front of the Colorado Capitol that higher education "is in trouble."

"We don't have the tools to build that bridge to the twenty-first century," he said, referring to President Bill Clinton's campaign theme.

Coker pitched the Metro student government theme of a "ticket to empowerment" to the crowd of 50 students on the west steps of the Capitol last Friday.

"I've got my ticket to empowerment, exercise yours," he said.

He was one of 15 speakers scheduled for the two-hour rally for students.

Other speakers included Senate Majority Leader Jeff Wells, R - El Paso County, Mesa State College President

Michael Gallagher and Chair of the Regents of the University of Colorado Robert Seivers.

The other speakers focused on accessibility to quality higher education for Colorado residents.

The rally was organized by the Colorado Student Association, a studentissues lobbying group supported by 14 Colorado higher education institutions.

The METROPOLITAN President Sheila Kaplan met with concerned students in her office Wednesday afternoon to answer questions relating to chemistry and criminalistics professor Susan Land, who has been denied tenure.

"People applying for tenure are applying for a job for life," Kaplan said.

Kaplan said in the meeting that tenure status is a very serious thing to grant and that it is the future of the institution.

According to Kaplan, in the last three years, 40 professors have been granted tenure and four were denied.

When asked about the notion that the administration was striving to abolish • tenure all together at Metro, Kaplan replied that the accusation was untrue:

tenure due to the "ridiculous charges of the imperial third floor," referring to the administration. Chapman also said that the administration is not required to give any explanation for tenure denial.

Among the other speakers Monday were various members of the student body, including student government President William Coker, who said he was in favor of Hazan receiving tenure.

Two of the primary speakers at the rally, Metro students Elizabeth Colatrella and Gary Norris, insisted that the protest and petition be addressed by the students' own voices without the affiliation of the Student Government Assembly or any organized club.

"We are trying to get students to think independently and speak out without any organizations," Norris said.

The MSCD Board of Publications will be accepting applications for the 1997-98 editor of:

The Metropolitan The editor is responsible for the editorial content of the weekly student newspaper. Duties include managing the stl!dent editorial staff, assigning stories, editing copy and working with the production manager on the physical makeup of the newspaper. This position will begin in April pf 1997. Pay schedule corresponds with fiscal year.

During the rally, some students shouted for Kaplan to come out of her "ivory tower" and answer for herself. Vernon Haley, vice president of student services, explained that Kaplan was out of town and would not be available to answer questions.

However, according to Kaplan's secretary, Jeanna Wardell, the president was "not out of town, she's just not available right now."

Angry students later went to her office for answers, at which time she said that she had been ill that morning and her absence was a misunderstanding.

All in all, Norris said, the turnout was a success.

"This should happen every day and not just be forgotten about tomorrow," he said.

FEBRUARY 21, 1997

Metro spent $31 million on '96 instruction Metro spent $2,546 on instruction per full-time equivalent student in the 1995-96 fiscal year.

The report was released in the Feb. 14 Trustees of the State Colleges of Colorado agenda.

A full-time equivalent student is the equivalent of 30 credits per year.

The number was derived by dividing the total amount Metro spends on instruction, $30.8 million, by the number of full-time equivalent students, 12,087, and is based on the year, not each semester.

The $30.8 million spent on ihstruction is only about half of Metro 's operating costs, according to Director of the Budget Office Bill Williams.

"There is a lot more to running a college than just the instruction," Williams said. "Last year Metro's budget was nearly $60 million, so instruction just accounts for half of that."

The amount Metro spends per full-time equivalent student in 1995-96 was less than Adams State, which spent $2,757, and Western State College, which spent $2,670.

Both of these schools have full-time equivalents of less than 2,500.

Metro's instruction dollars have steadily 1 increased since 1989 when the amount per full-time equivalent student was $1,823.

The average amount paid for instruction for the four schools under the State Colleges of Colorado umbrella last year was $2,575 per full-time equivalent student.

Members of the student assembly wanted to know how tuition increases have benefited students in the past ten years. Kaplan said they have helped to address student concerns with large classes, part-time professors and student support services. In the first year of the three-year tuition increase, Metro hired 10 full-time professors and put a significant amount of money into the advising center, Kaplan said.

With this phase, the president said she hopes to funnel money into increased space and training for the advising center. The move is on to create space for.advising and financial aid and will get into full swing around March I, said Joe Arcese, vice president of administration and finance.

Kaplan justified the increase by saying that it was an investment for future generations. She also said that student fees have not been raised in about four years, so she and her administration are driving to keep costs down.

"We are not out to gouge students," she said.

While Metro fees have not been raised, the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of Colorado approved a $39 increase in health insurance and a $3 increase in the Auraria student bond-fund fee for the 1996-97 year.

The student assembly held that it had not yet decided whether it will back the tuition hike, but would announce a decision Feb. 20.

"We are very fortunate to have a pool of finalists with a wealth of experience in higher education," Peck said.

In addition to Peck and Silzer, the search committee is composed of President Sheila Kaplan and Percy Morehouse, assistant to the president.

The college received more than a 100 applications. The screening of applicants began on Dec. 9 and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

OPINION

FEBRUARY 21, 1997

Tenure denial sparks unrest Dr. Sharon Siverts and Dr. Joan Foster: Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

I was a student at Metro State for about four years before moving to Florida and finishing at Florida Atlantic University.

I now attend the University of Denver Law School. I have been through eight years of higher education not including my current professional education. I believe my experience qualifies me to form a credible opinion regarding Dr. Hazan as a professor.

I am both shocked and outrElged that Dr. Hazan has been denied tenure . To say he is one of the most talented, effective and professional teachers in the country, I believe, is an understatement. He can take full credit for my personal success and accomplishments regarding education thus far. Not only was he an excellent and effective communicator, motivator and teacher of often difficult subjects, he went above and beyond what should be expected from a professor. How ironic that a man who is perhaps overqualified was denied tenure. Something is terribly wrong with this picture. When I was in danger of dropping out for various personal reasons, including a death in my family, this compassionate and selfless man pushed, counseled and outright saved me. At his own expense, he called and wrote me in Floridaatter ~moved thefe,.single-handed· ly pulling me out from the depths of imminent failure in life and giving me hope and guidance. This, madam, is what I call a professor. However, these wonderful gestures he made toward me in no way take away from his competence in the classroom. Rather, they add a human dimension that further demonstrates the all around quality of this great man. I never would have succeeded as a law student if it wasn't for the skills he taught me in his classes. Many tenured teachers that I have had in my time can learn a lesson from this man, including in law school.

I urge you to reconsider your decision.

Dr. Hazan has unselfishly taken it upon himself to care about his students and excel at teaching. In closing, I ask you to consider, what can be more important ft>~ ~ ~he F-OI& of a professor? Has justice become a fiction at Metro State College?

Jihad Muhaisen Metro alumnus

I am writing this letter because of the tenure denial of political science professor Dr. Robert Hazan. When I heard of this, I was terribly sickened. I establish my credit on this subject matter with the fact that I had the pleasure of taking a course which Dr. Hazan was teaching, and it will not be a course that I'll soon forget.

For three ye(\rs now, I have attended Metro, and I am graduating this May. I am very proud that I will be a Metro graduate.

However, it seems this school has

How prlvlllil1ltltJa at Social Becarlty will lftect you•••

received some unjustified criticism as being a mediocre institution. For three years, I have defended my school as being as intellectually challenging as any other institution of higher education. I will not be able to continue this defense if something as ludicrous as this denial of tenure to Dr. Hazan is perpetuated. If the purpose of this school is to deny the process of learning, then you should be proud of your decision. But if there is any consideration for the process of learning when identifying the purpose of this school, there proves to be no justifiable reasoning for this denial.

Why would a school that already receives harsh criticism for competency look to hurt its reputation by doing something as pretentious as this? If there is a justifiable cause for this denial, then it would probably not be as t~uchy of a subject. But the truth of the matter is, if a denial is approved, the only thing it would illustrate is that these people don't seem to care about the positive influence Dr. Hazan has on his students!

I would encourage these people to come out from behind their desks, and experience the true meaning of education instead of evaluating it from a form. Attend a class in which Dr. Hazan is teaching, and make yoar decision based on the empirical evidence you accumulate. Then, and only then, will these knowledgeable people realize that Dr. Hazan broadens the students' understanding about life and the conceivable reality of humanity. He helps students realize that knowledge is attainable and that only by restricting ourselves should we truly meet failure. His methods of teaching reach within the student and revive an inherent desire to pursue the one thing that betters our existence - knowledge. I can tell you that learning, and a transcendence of that new knowledge, is an inescapable reality associated with Dr. Hazan's teaching methods.

Teaching is not a glamorous profession, but with the motivation Dr. Hazan has shown me, I understand that it is a selfseeking goal to better yourself and your perception of life. By denying Dr. Hazan this simple symbol of appreciation, you are essentially denying the real truth behind the philosophy of teaching. I hope when you make your decision on this situation, you examine the random acts of kindness that Dr. Hazan performs. These acts enable his teaching to confront this cynical

world we live in, and possibly vanquish its purpose, thus giving way to a benevolent and congenial society.

Dr. Hazan: Again, I appreciate the enthusiastic tactics you have used to present the facts and hope I might one day possess these same qualities. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Colton Alton Metro Senior

It seems that, for some reason, Metro State College's administration has decided that an instructor's personal achievements in research and publishing are far more important to the institution than teaching.

Apparently, the priority is now "publish or perish," and the taxpayers and students be damned.

Metro has always been a unique college in that its administration traditionally focused on the non-traditional: teaching, teaching and more teaching. That is why I, a non-traditional student of 37 years, decided to enroll at Metro after graduation from Arapahoe Community College, where I was, at one time, president of the Sigma Phi chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honors fraternity. It appears, however, that President Sheila Kaplan's administration has changed the school's mission from teaching excellence to teaching absence.

How is it possible for a teacher to be efficient or proficient in teaching when his or her time is divided, and the priority is not placed on teaching? CU, CSU, and nonstate institutions like DU do a fabulous job with academic research and publishing.

Ironically, recent reports in the local press indicate that CU and CSU are moving away from an emphasis on research and publishing, placing more emP.hasis on I teaching in the classroom. If these schools are moving away from research and publishing, why is Metro moving toward it?

How does Metro, its students, and the taxpaying community profit by creating yet another level of research redundancy at a state college or university? Is it a prestige thing for Dr. Kaplan's administration? Is it yet another misuse of taxes, student tuition and community trust? How does research raise the quality of classroom teaching excellence at Metro? Is this new policy merely one of change for change's sake? What is being sacrificed for the sake of Dr. Kaplan's strange policy change?

Finally, how does Dr. Kaplan's administration, or any school administration, justify the deterioration of classroom teaching excellence?

Since I'm in my senior year it would be ridiculous for me to transfer to another school. I would, however, seriously counsel high school seniors and their parents, community college transfer students, and Metro freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to consider attending another institution if this policy is, indeed, here to stay. It is my opinion that Metro should continue to do what it does best: let teachers teach. As Longfellow once wrote, "a conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books."

I urge those of you concerned by this apparent shift in Metro's academic focus and mission, from teaching to publishing, to contac;t Metro's president, Dr. Sheila Kaplan (556-3022), Aims McGuiness, the chair of the State Colleges Board of Trustees (556-3312), Dwayne Nuzum, Executive Director of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (8662723), Governor Roy Romer (866-2471), and your state representatives to discuss your concerns. Dr. Kaplan should be quite responsive to these concerns, once she is aware of them. Indeed, I firmly believe she wants to do what is best for Metro State.

What is best, clearly, is to encourage and nurture teaching excellence at Metropolitan State College of Denver by its excellent instructors.

Robert Sampron Metro student

This is a sad day. Dr. Robert Hazan has been denied tenure. Metro administration and faculty, I plead with you.

Reconsider! Students and alumni, let your voices be heard! Tell the faculty and administration how Dr. Hazan has changed ·your life!

Dr. Hazan is a great mentor, educator, scholar and advocate for everyone's freedom. In the four years I have known him, he has encouraged me to be all that I can be. When I thought there was no chance for me to enter politics, he advised me to stay focused. When I graduated from Metro in the spring of 1996, he asked, "What are you going to do?" It was only then that I realized I had to make a choice.

"I want to go to graduate school."

"Con'gratulations," he said. When my chances for graduate school seemed impossible, Dr. Hazan made it possible.

Today, I am applying to the Ph.D. program at the University of Denver's School for International Studies. It is because of Dr. Hazan that I feel I can do this.

Dr. Hazan, we don't want to lose you!

You make life at Metro more endurable for students who have no hope. Your smile gives us hope. Your friendly hello gives us the confidence to go on. Dr. Hazan, you are a beacon of hope. Thank you immensely for teaching me. No one else will ever help me understand politics better than you!

A call to Kaplan to re-examine Hazan's tenure denial I am a professor at the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver. I have known Robert Hazan, an assistant professor of political science at Metro, for many years. I know that you have a great deal of college business, but I wanted to share with you some reasons why the decision the dean and the administration are contemplating - a denial of tenure despite strong facuity of arts and sciences approval - is a terrible mistake, one which you could, to the benefit of serious, multicultural education, undo.

For the last four years, I have come to lecture in political science seminars, organized by Hazan, at Metro. He has brought together not only his own students, but several other classes (this year Oneida Meranto and visiting professor Michael Coste brought their classes). His students expect and are used to - a high level of teaching and performance and issues of social change, ethnic dissension and ethnic harmony. They know, for example, Barrington Moore's Social Origins of Dictatorships and Democracy, a hard and extremely rewarding book, which lesser teachers do not attempt in graduate classes.

Hazan is, to the core, a scholar. It has been a privilege I would actually say, a joy - to lecture at Metro. This is a lively, even inspired, multiracial student group. I lecture all over the world, but there is no place I would rather come. Robert Hazan is responsible for this environment.

Hazan is not just a dedicated teacher. He is a profoundly concerned citizen about the issues which divide peoples, and, notably in the post Cold War era, are leading to so much bloodshed. He is the faculty advisor for, and has been vital in organizing, three student groups: the Political Science Club, the Turkish students and the Arab American students. A Jew from Turkey who studied in France (Grenoble) before coming to America, he is multi-lingual, multicultural, exactly the kind of person to build the bridges between groups of which the ~bsence in American society is so marked, so troubled.

Hazan's thesis was on ethnic conflict (the Arab-Israeli conflict, compared with Hindu-Moslem rivalries in India and French and English in Canada). It analyzed British policies of divide and rule, the development of nationalist movements which, to some extent, exacerbated such divisions, and the possibilities of dissident movements advocating cosmopolitan policies to overcome such divisions. With the end of the Cold War, it was a prescient thesis. For the past three years he has been invited to the major international conference on "Nationalism" at the London School of Economics, organized by Anthony Smith (Sociology), Brendan O'Leary (Political Science) and James ~ayall (International Affairs). They are drawn to his project because it has the promise of becoming major, striking work on ethnicity. He is also investigating publishing his book manuscript in London, and has been asked to publish a review in Millennium (a distinguished international politics journal again published at LSE). He is making his mark internationally (more than many at the Graduate School of lrltemational Studies where I teach, and many at Metro}, and, more importantly, at the center of research on a very, hot important topic.

Further, Hazan is interested in diverse voices in teaching politics. His edited book, Readings in Politics:

Issues and Polemics has just been published at Kendall Hunt. It combines readings from Plato, Hobbes, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Descartes, Hume and Adam Smith with current debates about education, racism and sexism (essays, for example, by Paul Rokeson, belle hooks, Cornell West, and Booker T. Washington}. It creatively reflects the problems in teaching at Metro (where the racism and sexism of ordinary political science would be noticeable from the moment one walked into a class).

There is nothing like it. It will be a resource in genuinely multicultural political science teaching. He is also working on a book, which the same publisher is interested in, about how to teach political science in a diverse environment. I can see why the arts and sciences committee was so enthusiastic about Hazan (ranking him second among those to be promoted). His life and heart are in his work, and his work goes directly and creatively to the problems of providing a lively, intelligent education.

I am a well published scholar (the most cited political theorist in the profession}; my last book, Democratic Individuality was published in paperback at Cambridge; my new book is on democracy and international politics (and chapters from it are being published this year in two German collections). I am an expert on research programs. Hazan has a very good one. On a four-year evaluation, his publication record - despite a very heavy teaching load is good. And the promise for a normal period is even better (at most universities, evaluation for tenure takes place in the seventh year) At Metro, he has been asked to teach four courses a semester for each of his four years, and in fact has taught five (he volunteers to create one on the Arab League) in the spring of each year. If publishing is a concern, shouldn't Metro have a sabbatical policy, particular for those approaching tenure? Couldn't the school have given him a semester off to write? a , -. ,., v.

I talk about Metro to others with great enthusiasm. It has a lively, multiracial student body, whom I am acquainted with through Robert Hazan. I think of Metro as a place smart enough to hire Hazan, in which Hazan can work his very considerable creativity and dedication to the good of all. I know that academic costs are a serious matter, that limiting tenure is something one has to do nowadays. But perhaps in the light of these priorities, the dean forgot herself, and made a terrible mistake. You have a chance - something quite rare in academia-to do something really good in standing up for Hazan, to support serious, multicultural teaching and research. I have heard about the student letters in The Metropolitan last Thursday (three days after the decision was announced). They are a sign. You, as President, lead in this, for good, rather than ill.

he chances for an art student to display work in a professional gallery setting are typically nonexistent.

Through the annual Student Art Show, the Metro Art Student Guild and Emmanuel Gallery offer an invaluable opportunity for emerging artists to join Denver's art community.

150 artists submitted over 180 pieces to be judged for entry to the show. From this sizable field, the jury selected 40 pieces by 35 artists.

The artwork offers a varied yet balanced scope of media, including furniture, printmaking, metalwork and ceramics.

"This is a very good show," says Carol Keller, curator and director of Emmanuel Gallery. "These juried shows are always interesting. There is a high level of competence that is apparent ... you're going to see many disciplines represented here."

Margaret Warner, newly-elected president of the Art Student Guild, says she was pleased with the evening's turnout.

"I really feel privileged to be a part of the Art Guild," she says. "It was a lot of hard work - everything needed attention immediately, but it's been well worth it,"

Warner says. "I've gotten a lot of good feedback from students and staff."

Warner had her piece, "The House of Memories," accepted to the show. She combines the traditional craftwork of quilting, dyeing, and stitching with the modern processes of cyanotype and phototransfer to create a pleasing juxtaposition of past and present.

The Student Art Guild has been an active, recognized club for the past four years. Any Metro student with an interest in art is invited to join. With the funds raised from the show's entry fees, the Guild plans to promote a variety of artbased events, such as sponsoring a visiting artist, workshops and gallery trips. ''The student body is well represented by the works selected," says Alex Harrison, vice president of the guild.

"Being involved in the Art Guild is a realization process, learning how much effort goes into an event like this. The Art Guild enables students to be a part of the art community. It helps to broaden a student's horizons and education."

Harrison's birchwood table, entitled "Ryptic," is the only example of art furniture included in the show. His high level of craftsmanship and graceful design exemplify the high demands of this discipline.

Metro senior Jeanne Thomsen contributed one of the few paintings in the

show. "Revisit" is a large, abstract piece that balances calm and action. Her varied palette is harmoniously contained within the solid masses of color that stretch across the canvas.

"Usually when I begin a painting," she says. "I don't have any preconceived ideas.

I paint as I go."

Photography is prevalent in this show, with Rohanna Berrier's "Raw" series conveying some of the most powerful images.

These coppertoned black and white photographs are studies in sensual self-portraiture. Berrier says the series is a play on Western culture's "beauty mystique."

"I love the process of photography," Berrier says. "It enables me to stop time, to capture a moment in its entirety."

This year's exhibition is a strong statement to the high quality of artwork that is being created at Metro, as well as the serious dedication of its students.

Student Art Show Runs through March 6 Emmanuel Gallery Auraria Campus Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

POET helps college journey Web site offers suggestions on financial aid, housing Josh Haberberger The METROPOLITAN

useful Web site to visit on the Internet has been expanding ever since its ereation, and it has several useful sites to help college students extensively.

A quick session with POET's - Pursuit Of Educational Technology - the site gives mild indication to all of its features that could help a college student.

Found in the section known as the CollegeJam: the most comprehensive book exchange system on the Internet, discussion groups, assistance for students looking for offcampus housing and possible ways to help pay off college tuition.

All of these features are found on the site for college students.

The site has specific links for college professors, college administrators, alumni/professionals, parents, high school students, and high school teachers and administrators There is also a special evaluator-only site that yields access to sponsors and businesses wishing to do business with POET's site, said Vincent Yee, the site's marketing director.

Yee said that the site started with the concept of a book exchange, but soon other ideas for features and services "sprung up."

Upon entering the site, the user is faced with a list of the different sites- that · are- offered, but

A

before interacting with one of them, there is a log on process. The user logs on to a specific site, and while the log on list of requested infonnation is lengthy, the process takes only a few minutes.

Upon registration, your member name and password are enabled. Yee said that the operators at POET's site are proud of the privacy measures that exist concerning the information that members input to the site.

According to Yee, POET's site is everexpanding.

"We have a long list of features that we are looking forward to implementing," he said.

The site has a large handful of features, but Yee said there has been positive feedback regarding the easy navigation from page to page.

The site directors request that the user not use the "'forward" and "back" commands that are typically used with Netscape travel. The site is equipped with tools to make jumping around easy and quick.

Also, there was recently implemented a resume submission section, Yee said.

"One of the immediate goals is to spruce up the CollegeJam site with more content and discussion group topic," he said.

The site originated in Boston, so most of its members are in that vicinity, but Yee said that they are eager to spread the site's services to as many interested people as possible. The site, whose official debut was in January, currently has members from 40 states and can be found at www.poetsweb.com.

Avenue's Faithful mixed, but strong

--

Anne Hall Nicole Wertalik The METROPOLITAN

ne of the highlights of the Avenue Theater's new production of Faithful, by Chazz Palminteri, is the sheer believability of the characters.

When hit man Tony tells the woman he's been hired to kill, "If you were a guy, I'd want to hang out with you," he means it.

Faithful is the story of a truly bizarre love triangle Margaret (Deborah Persoff), the unhappy, upper-class housewife; Jack (Paul Page), her cheating husband; and Tony (Joseph Miller), the man Jack has hired to kill Margaret on the their 20th wedding anniversary.

Palminteri, better known for his roles in the movies Bullets Over Broadway - in which he played a hit man/playwright - and The Usual Suspects, provides a script full of unexpected twists and revelations.

Margaret just wants to have a passionate loving relationship with her husband, who in tum lusts after a younger woman and wants his wife dead so he can have her money. Tony, carrying some mental baggage of his own, lands right in the middle.

Joseph Miller turns in an excellent performance as Tony, full of honesty and understated humor. His character is three-dimensional, completely honest and sympathetic - a rare acting

LUKE, TURN DOWN THE VOLUME: Darth Vader beckons to Luke Skywalker after their duel in the new and improved and loud The Empire Strikes Back: Special Edition.

Empire booms back on screen Mike Larkin The METROPOLITAN

T

he adventure continues in this spellbinding Star Wars sequel and the battle to save the galaxy from the evil empire rages on."

So says the press release for The Empire Strikes Back, the second installment in the Star Wars trilogy.

The truth of the matter is, this is the same movie that was released in 1980 with the volume cr~nked up to eleven.

Non-Star Wars buffs will not be able to pick up on the newly insert-

f1·1m

ed scenes, which apparently speak volumes about the magic of Lucasfilm. So if you were expecting to be wowed by the new footage, you have to know the movie inside out before you see the "Special Edition."

For this re-release, Lucasfilm spent three years restoring the color of the negatives, which had faded I 0-15 percent even though the films were kept in a climate-controlled subterranean vault in Kansas.

(Apparently the warnings about dangerous Kansas weather as depicted in the film Twister went unheeded

by Lucas and his cohorts:) The restoration process involved skilled technicians who sat and hand-cleaned each frame of the film with sponges. That is three years of those peoples' lives lost just so the color will be a little bit better for you, the viewing audience. I just hope you appreciate the sacrifice these people made for you!

As mentioned, the volume of this movie is twice - no, three

times - as loud as any other movie ever released. The soundtrack is "digitally remastered," which you wouldn't know if the advertising hadn't touted it in the hype leading up to the re-release. The movie is so loud that the scariest parts are when the sound of a looming spaceship booms onto the screen unannounced. (All right, so I scare easily.)

For those who missed Empire the first time, it picks up several years after Star Wars leaves off. The rebels, led by Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Han Solo (a young Harrison Ford), have holed up on an ice planet, trying to regroup and fix all their stuff (i.e. robots and spaceships.)

The bad guys find them and they fight. The good guys get away, and Luke goes to find a Jedi master called Yoda.

Yoda turns out to be a muppet that sounds suspiciously like Grover from Sesame Street.

The good guys go to some city run by singer Billy Dee Williams.

They hang out for a while, then they get caught by the bad guys.

I'm not going to tell you how it ends, but you know there is a third installment in the trilogy (hence the name), so some of the good guys have to get away.

There was a grand total of maybe 30 seconds worth of new footage in this movie, so don't go spend $6 on this if you are expecting anything new.

It is nice to see it on the big . screen, but at the risk of sounding like an old man: This movie is too durn loud!

turn, worth the price of admission alone.

Unfortunately, Miller's shining performance tends to overshadow Persoff's Margaret, who is a little too posey and stiff for comfort.

Although her acting is by no means weak, Persoff is uncomfortably thin and not quite convincing as a neglected, middle-aged woman married for 20 years.

Page turns in the weakest performance of the trio. He fails to show the conviction you would expect from a man who's hired a hit man to kill his wife. The lines are there; Page just doesn't deliver them.

Terry Dodd, who also directed the never-say-die Stanton 's Garage, does a wonderful job. A gorgeous set and lighting make for a strong overall production, no small task considering the rather intimate confines of the Avenue Theater.

The excellent directing, strong writing and, for the most part, strong performances add up to an enjoyable evening and a fine production.

Artwalk not quite in step ..

Kickin' it

Program should improve in merger with other walk Tanya Richardson The METROPOLITAN

hat's wrong with Denver's art scene?

On Jan. 30, I spent the evening on "Last Friday's Art Walk," an event held on the last Friday of every month where the public is invited to stroll through galleries along Broadway and South Pearl streets in Denver.

Around 7 p.m. I knocked on Crash Art's door, only to find it locked. The sign said closed, and the walk officially had been underway for about an hour.

The next two places I tried were closed, too.

Luckily, I also had circled Rule Modern & Contemporary. The words "modern" and "contemporary" juxtaposed with the next gallery on the list, Denver Buffalo Company, which seemed quite appetizing.

Bruce Dern, who helps run the gallery, described it as "a little slice of New York." Whether that comment appeals to you or offends you is not the point. The point is the "galleries," Rule Modern & Contemporary, were not galleries. They were retail shops.

I walked into lnkfish - a gallery Dem suggested. From the walls hung what can. only be described as Southwestern Fauvism, featuring over-the-top use of garish desert-tones, and the place was drenched in it.

Suddenly I found myself confronted with an inordinate amount of what I had intended to avoid at Denver Buffalo Company - exurbanite art. However, there is obviously a grossly large market for this type of art in the West, and when

in Rome ...

Inkfish owner Paul Hughes has been an art dealer in Denver since 1975 and was able to shed some light on the situation.

"It's not easy to sell art in Denver," he explained. "It mainly has to do with taste and price. People in this town think art is too expensive - it's not a priority to them."

True, Denver is not New York or San Francisco, but what about other smaller cities like Denver, places that are not on either coast? Minneapolis has one of the most thriving and diverse art scenes in the country. That is because the town has so much funding for the arts - it's a priority.

The event's coordinator, Kenneth E. DeBacker, said being open was optional for the galleries, "but the vast majority stay open." He did say that Last Friday's Art Walk will be uniting with First Friday's Art Walk, put on by galleries in the Cherry Creek area. (Both walks would then be held on the first Friday of every month.)

"Hopefully every major art area in town will be coordinated on the first Friday," he added, "sometime in April."

If more people start taking an interest, more galleries will be open this Friday.

Both Dern and Hughes said that few people on the walks buy art, but the traffic,and publicity they generate does improve business.

The art walks are also of benefit to the everyday admirer. Providing more galleries are open, you will most likely find a place suited to your tastes. I suggest picking up a program ahead of time and calling galleries to check on their hours that evening. (Most galleries on Broadway and South Pearl have programs.)

2 swimmers Nationals-bound A. Jeter The

METROPOLITAN

Two Metro swimmers realized their ultimate goal for the season last weekend when they swam national-caliber times, winning the chance to bask in the summer sun of San Antonio for the Division II Nationals next month.

Alishia McCarty qualified in three events and broke the school record in one of them, the 200 individual medley (2: 10.48), and she's a rookie to Metro.

McCarty took seventh in her recordbreaking run at the conference championships Feb. 12-15, and also made the cut in the 50- and I 00-yard freestyle events.

Accompanying McCarty will be veteran national competitor Scott Watson, who broke two school records and placed in the top three in all three of his events, winning the 200-yard breaststroke (2:05.83). Watson also broke a 6-year-old school record in that event and surpassed

the school's best time he set last year in the 200-yard individual medley (1 :54.27).

McCarty and Watson may not be the only ones heading to Nationals, coach Rob Nasser said, because there were a number of swimmers just missing the mark at the conference meet. Those competitors will get their last run at the Last Chance Meet on Feb. 28.

"We really had some very, very good swims," Nasser said. "I was really pleasantly surprised at how close a lot of kids actually did get (to qualifying)."

Among those who may still get their chance were butterfly specialist Kyle Cook, freshman sprint sensation Christabell Nieman, second-year veteran Kristen Schweissing and freshman butterfly/freestylist Jon Watson. They all were close at the last meet, Nasser said.

Still, anyone has the potential since swimming is hedged on a pure mental game and caliber of the competition,

Nasser said.

The switch this year from the lntermountain Swim League to the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference provided a healthy dose of tight competition for the team, especially at the conference event, Nasser said.

"There are Division I, II and III schools in the conference, so it was very competitive. It kind of gave us a good view of what we really have to do to be competitive in this conference."

Nasser was impressed with the way his team performed and thinks the Roadrunner squad is on it's way to a better road than it has seen in past years.

"I really think that this is where we've laid the groundwork to really build up the program to a national-caliber program."

Still, even if Nasser's swimmers build into regular national strong-arms, he puts the most emphasis on academics and a positive experience.

Road ignites men's meltdown Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN

Metro's worst nightmare appeared on the score board Wednesday at the Colorado School of Mines; it read 97-90 and the Roadrunners looked mortified.

The loss capped a three-game road trip that produced zero viclories, and set up a must-win game for Metro this Friday at home against Chadron State. The team must win or it fails to qualify for the conference tournament.

Mines (6-18, 4-14) took advantage of 14 first-half turnovers from the Roadrunners to build a six-point advantage at the break. The Orediggers returned the favor in the second, coughing up 13 turnovers, but they also shot a rim-melting .680 that held off every Metro run.

Center Martin Glastetter led Metro with 22 points.

Forward Adam Apodaca turned in a solid performance with 20 points and 8 assists. The loss extended the team's road losing streak to five.

Metro's road woes started last Friday at Nebraska.Kearney, 120-100, and Saturday at No. I Fort Hays State, 87-59.

Kearney (18-6, 14-3) torched the Roadrunners from the outside with three-pointers, and Fort Hays (23-1 , 16-1) humbled them inside with an awesome allAmerican.

Metro set a school record by giving up 120 at Kearney. It marked the second time this season that the record for most points allowed has been broken. The team gave up 116 points, the previous record, in another disappointing road loss this season.

"Any time you give up 120 points, your defense is lacking," head coach Charles Bradley said. 'There is no question. You can't hide behind that, your defense is lacking, and you've got to correct it."

Bradley also credited the Lopers for the high total, especially the hot shooting of one player. Guard Mike Hancock drilled eight three-pointers for Kearney and totaled 33 points on the night. Sometimes there is no answer for a performance like that, Bradley said.

Five players scored in double figures for the Roadrunners. Forwards Adrian Navarro and Apodaca led the way with 24 and 23 points respectively. The two players also had seven rebounds each.

Conference strong-arms strip women of ranking Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

HAYS, Kan . .,,.-Two wins on the road against powerhouse rivals would have placed the women's basketball team in a first-placed tie in their conference.

Instead they returned home in third place and with a two-game losing streak, their first of the season. The Roadrunners lost 56-60 to Fort Hays State University and 67-88 to the University of NebraskaKearney.

"Losing's not fun; it sucks," forward Angela Milliard said. ''Lose one or lose five in a row, it's not any good."

The losses to No. 25 Fort Hays (19-4, 14-3) and No. 8 Nebraska-Kearney (22-2, 16-1) stripped the 'Runners of their No. 22 national ranking.

Saturday the Roadrunners trailed by ~s many as 14 points in the first half al Fort Hays but pulled together a 20-4 run and led by four points with three minutes remaining.

The 'Runners, however, failed to score a basket in those final minutes and gave up their seventh loss for the season.

"We didn't play that poorly," coach Darryl Smith said. "We did everything you need to do to win the game except we missed the three lay-ups at the end."

Smith said the team needs to learn from the loss.

"I just hope we learned all we need to from losing and start learning from win-

ning," he said.

"I think for the first time a defeat hurt them," he added, "because they felt like they should have won and they got it taken away from them."

The close losses do hurt more, the team's leading scorer, Stephanie Allen, said.

"I can look back and say, 'if I didn't make this mistake, we could have won,"' she said. "But with a blowout, you're just like, 'there's so many things that went wrong.'"

The freshman point guard averages 17 points per game, but she was held to two points Saturday. "(Saturday) night really killed me because I wasn't really there mentally," Allen said.

"It's the worst feeling. I mean , what would have happened if I was there mentally? We probably could have won."

The 20-4 run that pulled the 'Runners back in it against Fort Hays was spurred largely by center Shiloh Justice 's 21 points, 14 coming in the second half.

Foul trouble haunted the 'Runners both nights. What hurt, though, was the discrepancy of the referee's whistles. At Fort Hays, the home team had 25 trips to the foul line while Metro had only 12. The ' Runners shot from the line only twice in the second half.

Nevertheless, Metro stayed in it.

"On the road, you're not going to get any breaks," Smith explained, "and we had

officiating.

"We didn't play poorly at all Friday night. We just got taken out of the game by fouls in the first half," Smith said. "They shot 25 and we shot three - and that was the game; we couldn't recover."

Kristi Baxter led the team in scoring with 21 Friday - hitting 5-10 behind the 3-point line. Her scoring accounted for over one-third of Metro's total offense in the first half.

"We have three games left to get it turned around," Smith said. "We still have all the things we want to do right in front of us. Whether we 're mature enough to do this, we' ll find out."

an opportunity on Saturday to make our own breaks - that's what you have to do when you're on the road."

In comparison to Friday night's match-up against Kearney, the officials for the Fort Hays match were down-right charitable.

The 'Runners played excellent ball Friday against the conference's first placed team - exchanging leads for the first 15 minutes.

But Metro didn't get a break all night: Kearney scored 15 of the last 17 points of the first half and pulled away. The difference was once again free-throws Kearney shot 17-25 in this half; Metro 2-3.

By game's end, Kearney had made 26-37-from the foul line and the 'Runners, 6-11.

An example of how bad the officiating was: The officials would wait to see whether a Kearney shot went in; if not, then they would whistle the 'Runners and send Kearney to the line for two.

On at least two occasions, Metro guards were on their way up court getting back on offense when the whistles blew.

Smith, by no means a quiet person, communicated to officials his displeasure.

When the refs finally slapped the coach with a technical , it was after the nicest thing he said to them all night.

Metro was in second place at the time of the Kearney blowout. A good game between No. I and No. 2 never materialized because of the anything-but-balanced

Colorado National Bank Ol997 FBS - FOC

Texas team trips Metro baseball Kyle Ringo The METROPOLITAN The season's first road trip for Metro's baseball team was not exactly a whirlwind tour, but the team did come face to face with a Texas tornado in the form of nationally-ranked Abilene Christian University.

ACU (5-l) swept Metro (0-4) in a four-game series last weekend. Four bad innings on the mound and JO errors sealed the Roadrunners' fate.

Metro allowed five runs in three dif-

ferent innings and 10 runs in another over the four-game stretch. The errors and runners left on base compounded the problem for Metro.

"We had a snowball effect," head coach Vince Porreco said. "In those four innings, limiting it to one or two runs is what you gotta do."

Porreco said that he was proud of the pitchers' efforts despite the bad innings.

He singled out Geoff Abbey and Bretl Karabensh as having handled their starts well.

Metro scored 11 runs in the four

"If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas."

- Charles Bradley, men's basketball coach with just six eligible players.

"I was fronting him the whole time, but he just kept getting the ball too close to the basket," Navarro said.

The Roadrunners shot just .290 in the first half, but managed to stay within striking distance by playing tough defense themselves. The first-half slump and 26 turnovers for the game proved to be too much for Metro

games. Porreco said he expects that his team will be more productive as the season goes on, offensively, and that it cannot afford to strand baserunners.

Third baseman Roger Fisher totaled three RBI on the trip and hit .333, including one home run. Right fielder Josh Castro also hammered a round-tripper and two doubles. He hit .417 in l 2 at-bats.

Despite the Texas trip, • Porreco remains optimistic after his team's open- ing series.

"I think we're going to be an explosive team, and score a bunch of runs."

Turnovers trample 'Runners on the road MEN from page 15 would get a victory in at least one of the two games, said he was surprised that it did not happen.

"We came out and played in spurts," Apodaca said. "I thought we were gonna go down there and get them. I guess our heads weren't in it."

"I played pretty good, obviously not good enough, but I would give up all those points for two victories, or even one victory."

The defending national champions, Fort Hays, held Metro to a season low of l 9 points in the first half Saturday. 1he defensive effort combined with all-American talent in center Alonzo Goldston stymied Metro. Goldston powered to a game-high 34 points and took the game away from Metro in the post Both Navarro and Glastetter fouled out trying to guard Goldston. The foul-outs left the team

to overcome.

Once again Apodaca and Navarro led the team in scoring. The pair were the only Metro players to reach double figures.

Bradley said that the road trip was a learning experience for his team as well as the coaching staff. He said that he has had to make some adjustments in the way road trips work this year, and that he and the team are getting used to things being different.

Bradley also said that one of the problems plaguing the Roadrunners is the absence of a natural small forward. C.J. Arellano is playing out of position at the small forward position, Bradley said.

Bradley, who does not nornially make excuses for his team, stayed true to form. "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas,'' Bradley said with a smile.
