Tormented on campus Blind student, dog deal with harassment By J~ Stephemon TM Metropotl/an

Lee Zuberer says the bulk of the time she's spent at Auraria over the last three years has been wonderful. But this semester has been anything but wonderful for Zuberer, a 56-year-old Metro student who is blind, and Hamlet, her Seeing Eye dog. Instead of the friendliness and consideration she's grown accustomed to on campus, Zuberer said she and Hamlet have become the target of nasty comments and mean-spirited jokes. "This semester is different," she said. ''There's an air of meanness about things. People say things like, 'What the fuck is a dog doing here?' and 'If that dog bites me, I'm going to sue that fucking bitch.' " Zuberer said up until very recently, she and Hamlet have been hassled on campus at least twice a day this semester. Zuberer, who went blind four years ago because of retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative optical nerve disease, won't speculate on why people's attitude toward her and

State law allows extra cash for Metro By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

Colorado stale colleges will get nearly $1 million in additional state funding this year, and Metro President Sheila Kaplan said she wants some of the money to help Metro's faculty keep current in their fields. The extra money comes from Senate Bill is. which Gov. Roy Romer signed last April. It allows Metro, Mesa State, Western State and Adams State colleges to keep interest earned on money from Colorado's General Fund. No one is sure how much the State Colleges will actu-

ally earn in interest, but the bill's fiscal note said the state colleges will net about $940,000. Kaplan said she will ask the trustees to put Metro's cut of the money toward faculty professional development for the college. Professional development is defined as anything that improves a faculty member's expertise in their discipline. Typically, it includes attending events such as conventions, workshops or seminars, said music Professor Hal Tamblyn, who has been a Metro faculty member for 27 years. If the trustees agree to Kaplan's recommendation, it will be a faculty victory-especially for those seeking

tenure. Professiona( development has been a major factor in highly-publicized tenure decisions recently. "Professional development is something that our faculty needs very badly," said Tamblyn, also chainnan of the Council of Chairs for Metro. "It's hard to stay current in your discipline if you don't interact with your colleagues." Jim Heffernan, vice president for Administration and Finance for the state colleges, cautioned against making definitive plans for what to do with the extra funding. "I would advise (the college presidents) against allocating money they don't have," he said.

Federal budget cuts forced the Anny to shut down its Reserve Officer Training Corps office at Metro in early June. The office, which was in the Rectory Building next lo St. Cajelan's Center, was among 14 others shut down to eliminate ROTC programs that don't produce enough officers, said Capt. Steve Walter of the ROTC program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Walter said Metro produced only four officers for the Anny last year, but a school this size is expected to put out 10 graduates a year. CU graduated 20 officers last year, he said.

Metro students can still participate in the ROTC but must commute to CUBoulder or the Colorado School of Mines in Golden for physical training and military classes. One ROTC student racking up mileage on his car is Metro junior Russell Rippetoe, a 22-year-old criminal justice major. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Rippetoe has to leave his house in Arvada at 5 a.m. to get to the Boulder ROTC office for physical training at 6 a.m. Then it's back to Metro for classes at 9 a.m. "It's definitely hard to drive all the time," Rippetoe said. "I'm driving probably 100 miles a day. I think in the end it will be worth it. It's a great program."

Audiences al the future Auraria performing Arts center will be treated to a state of the art facility to gain insight into "the hidden world of pcrfonnancc,"' said theater designer Peter Lucking. In addition to the chronological displays in the lobby showing everything from set construction to costume making, the center will house a 350-seat theater, a 550-seat concert hall, a recital hall, additional classrooms and production and rehearsal spaces. Construction will begin in spring 1998. "This (center) will be the gold standard by which other spaces will be judged," said Lucking, who has helped open 35 performing arts centers in America. Large, easy-to-move pieces in the theater will provide more flexibility for setting up virtually any traditional or experimental staging, Lucking said. The concert hall will have the best acoustics possible for a wide range of music - from a solo performer to a chorus of 250 and I JO-piece band.

Reverberation chambers wi II be added to the concert hall to preserve the performer's original sounds. "It's not a_large concert hall , but it has to have a large sound," LU<.: king said. In the recital hall, scats will be stacked closer and higher around the stage so the performer can connect with audience members, Lucking said. Semple Brown Roberts, the firm designing the center, specializes in entertainment design such as casinos, restaurants and theaters. Lucking said the firm also designed much of Larimer Square, including the Mexicali Cafe and Tommy Tsunami's. The performing arts departments at each of the colleges at Auraria and Auraria officials worked closely with the firm to come up with basic design ideas. "The diversity of the departments and their want to educate has enabled us to do this," Lucking said. Semple Brown Roberts and lead exterior designers, AR7 Hoover Desmond Architects, will show the Auraria Board of Directors this week how far the $2.

Tobacco tyc()on's grandson visits Auraria, gives anti-tobacco message Pat Reynolds advocates higher cigarette taxes, campaign finance reform By Ron Simpson The Metropolitan

Pat Reynolds wants to stamp out the lire his grandfather fanned to fortune. Although R.J. Reynolds, his grandfather, was the founder of one of the largest U.S. tobacco companies, Pat Reynolds advocates higher taxes on cigarettes and campaign finance reform to limit tobacco companies from inOuencing politicians. "Congress has done nothing to limit tobacco advertisements," he said to a packed house Sept. 22 in the Tivoli Tumhalle. "Congress has kept the cigarette tax to just about the lowest in the industrialized world." Pat Reynolds' speech came with plenty of numbers. He said the United Nations' World Health Organization estimated that 500 million people worldwide will die from smoking related illnesses. He also said 90 percent of smokers were addicted by their 19th birthday because of advertisements directed at teenagers and 80 percent of tobacco-related campaign contributions went

to the Republican party. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 418,000 people in the U.S. will die this year from illness caused by cigarette smoking. The Reynolds family has been out of the tobacco business for more than 50 years, he said. The company is no longer owned by the Reynolds _family. It merged with Nabisco Corp. Pat Reynolds was 15 when his father died of smoking-related emphysema. He has since dedicated his life to prevent young people from smoking. In one case it might have worked. A "closet" smoker, who didn't want to be identified, used the forum as motivation to quit. "I haven't had a cigarette for four days," she said. 'Tm trying to quit, and I figure that I can use all the motivation that I can get." Robert Schrier, chairman of the department of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, agreed with Reynolds about preventing America's youth from smoking. "Smoking among teens is increasing, so talking to young people is important," he said.

Business dean on leave The interim dean of the Business Department has been on an indefinite medical leave of absence since late July. Economics Professor Michael Brown received a Distinguished Service Award at Metro's Convocation. Brown has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, said Sherry Patten, Metro's director of College Communication. Brown served as a faculty senator and was an instrumental part of several college committees. Marketing Professor Charles Vitaska is serving as acting dean of the School of Business until Brown's return. Prior to coming to Metro, Brown was a Fulbright Scholar at the Universida Autonoma de Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico from 1969 to 1971.

judiciary Board missing two on panel of five

Siesta time

By Perry Swanson 771e Metropolitan

Metro's student Judicial Board appointed Krystal Bigley as its chief justice Sept. 22. Bigley replaces Mark Zanghetti, who resigned the post Sept. 8 after a tw o-mon t h absence. The Judicial Board checks the constitutionality of Student Government Assembly decisions and handles disputes between students and student organizations. Metro's student government names members of the Judicial Board each November. Bigley wi ll finish out Zanghetti's term until then, when the SGA will appoint a new chief justice. Bigley, Andy Nicholas and Helen Giron-Mushfig, are the only active members on the five-member board. Two members are unaccounted for, but no one on Metro's student government or in the Student Activities oflice knows their names.

The SGA can't find the minutes of the meeting when the j udicial board members were named, Bi gley said . Zav Dadabhoy, director of Student Activities , said Zanghetti is the onl y person who knows the original Judic ial B o a r d appo i ntees. Zanghctti promised to share that informat ion but Dadabhoy said on Sept. 23 that he sti ll hadn ' l heard from him . "(Zanghetti ) was supposed to have the information here to the (student government) oflice, but obviously he didn't," Dadahhoy said. " He kept it to hi mself." The student government decided at their Sept. 22 meeting that the missing members' positions will he considered vacant if they don't show at the next meeting Sept. 29. For now, Bigley said her main goal is to get two more members on the hoard and lo start regular meetings. The board did not meet over the summer.

CoPIRG asks students to dive in By Ky Belle 771e Metropolita11

Ever done a Dumpster dive? Not sure? Dumpster dives are when people really committed to recycling climb into a large metal trash bin to dig around for recyclable items left by Jess environmentally concerned citizens. "I've been told that you haven't lived until you've done a Dumpster dive," said Anthony Nocera, 18, a Metro freshman and volunteer with the Colorado Public Interest Research Group. Nocera may have been joking, but the issues CoPIRG volunteers pursue are environmentally serious. One of these issues is public transit. RTD was the main focus of CoPIRG's general interest meeting

on Sept. 17. Kelly Wark, a Metro graduate and transportation advocate at CoPIRG 's state office, was the guest speaker at the meeting, which attracted about 30 students. Wark said Auraria students can play a significant role in creating an earth-friendly, transportation-related public policy because Auraria's 30,000 students constitute the largest group of commuters to the downtown area. She said about 700,000 people will move lo the Denver area in the next 20 years, which will affect not only transportation and pollution concerns, but also land use. "Denver is facing a really pivotal time," Wark said. see CoPIRG on 6

react with condescending horror and indignant anger when a student with a disability is victimized. Campus crimes often baffle college students. The most shocking element about this is that anyone is shocked at all. Women are raped, students are robbed and people are attacked on campuses across the country every day. It's unfortunate that people react to the location rather than the incidents themselves. No one is safe from ignorant, criminal or deviant members of society. It has been, and always will be, a part of daily life. It is important for college campuses to be aware of these elements. It is more important to eliminate them. It is most important to realize that the widely reported and vehemently denounced incidents on campus are merely a fragment of what goes on in society at large. It's safe to say that the false sense of security that a college campus offers is just that - false. It is simply life imitating life - on campus.

When a white woman turned around, confronted the student and asked "What have I done? Why can't we work together?" the black student said, "Because your being here is killing me." Several white students then walked out. Did the students walk out because of their outrage at the unmitigated racism being expressed? Undoubtedly. Was there something more to some of the white students' reaction? I think so. The angry black student hit on a rarely-talkedabout kernel of truth in his racist r~ntings. A lot of white people today in America have a sentiment perhaps well-intended - that they hold no responsibility for their ancestors' deeds or for the plight of substantial minority groups who cannot seem to get an equitable slice of the American dream. "I'm not racist," their logic goes. "There is plenty of opportunity for black people in America today, so if they're not making it, it's their own fault." But if there is no continued legacy of racism and stigmatization in this country and if the sociological affects of 200-plus years of oppression are gone, then why aren't black people making it? White people who believe they hold no responsibility for the continued second-class citizenship of the majority of American blacks and the many more who passively consent to this belief are fooling themselves. Both are upholding white supremacist ideology that stigmatizes and oppresses black people, slowly

and much more insidiously than any Ku Klux Klan hanging. Those white people are, in effect, killing blacks. Example after example has shown that black peopl~ can overcome this stigmatization and succeed under the right circumstances. Black people are NOT inferior, but the stigma of 200-plus years of racism and oppression has had an incalculable . inhibiting influence on black America. By denying this, many white people are keeping the monstrous ideology of white supremacy firmly planted in the background of mainstream America's consciousness. This kind of indifference and subtle racism by white America will only further oppress black people and feed the flames of black frustration, anger and racism. On the other hand, what about black racism? Shouldn't Professor Kamau have condemned and refuted the black student's racist speech? After all, any kind of racism is wrong. When one black person says or does something racist, often times every influential black leader or personality is encouraged to condemn that person. But when Pat Buchanan says something racist, I'd be willing to bet President Clinton doesn't feel obligated to refute him. While this double standard is certainly not fair and a climate of persistent oppression makes it hard for blacks to condemn other blacks, wrong is still wrong. Racism is one of the most horrendous wrongs in human history. Black people - especially black people in academia - have a responsibility to condemn all racism. Relations between blacks and whites can only remain precarious at best until these issues are addressed in a frank and honest dialogue. We, the young who aspire to be educated, are obligated to have this dialogue for ourselves and our children. We represent America's future.

Columnist clarifies, adds perspective Now that I have your attention. Let me tell you about my friend, Ellen. Ellen was one of the most popular girls I knew. I had known her since grade school. She was bright, outgoing and always there to lend a helping hand. Travis Henry Last year, after some serious The Lowdown soul searching, Ellen also realized something else. She was a lesbian. Coming to grips with this was hard for Ellen's friends and family, but over time, everyone seemed to accept it and treat Ellen as they had before. Why not? She was the same person, only with some nagging questions finally resolved. Everyone accepted it. Everyone that is, except Ellen. This summer, she committed suicide. Ellen's funeral was standing room only. Never before had I seen a turnout by such a large number of people who all considered one person their good friend. With all of these people that Ellen had loving her, why did she take her own life? Why? Her best friend said that Ellen had broke down crying to her in the past and said she didn't want to be gay. We can never know why Ellen chose to leave us, but I have to think that the inner confusion she felt had something to do with it. Ellen did not attend Metro. Maybe if she had, she could have contacted the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Trans Student Services. It could have offered counseling or provided support. It might not have saved her life, but it certainly couldn't have hurt. My point? The GLBTSS can and does help people. Just like the bus pass provides a service to many students. Right along the same lines that athletics help the image of the school. I never said they didn't. Defending anything I have written in the past goes against everything I believe in. My motto has always been write it, encourage free debate and move on. But maybe because of my own mishandling of the subject or outside interpretations, my point was lost. My goal was to motivate students to question where their money was going and who it was going to. I picked three services that I haven't used and constructed my argument. Sure, I used writing that might have seemed offensive to some, but that is the beauty of language. Everyone interprets what they read differently. Some can see satire for what it is, and some can't. Some will send hate mail, and I will love it. And some will say, you know, that is exactly what I was thinking. And some will even write letters that prompt me to reexamine my own views. Isn't it beautiful? But no matter what the case, what is said or what is written, there is one thing for sure. I will never ride the bus.

Letters

Outrageous behavior must stop On behalf of the Disability Services Office sfaff and the Disability Services Advisory Committee, I am writing to inform the Auraria community about two distressing incidents that have occurred on the Auraria Campus in the past few weeks. 1. A Metro student who is blind and uses a Seeing Eye dog has been repeatedly"verbally abused by people on campus shouting obscenities at her and her dog. 2. On Sept. 15, a University of Colorado at Denver student who is blind and uses a cane was on campus when someone broke his cane and then walked away. Fortunately, another student who witnessed this action immediately provided assistance. These two incidents portray a shocking indifference and malice toward students with disabilities on our campus. These are students who are dealing with the daily demands of their academic programs in spite of their disabilities. They have acquired skills that allow them to be independent,

and they have every right to expect the same degree of respect as anyone else. That others on our campus would display such appalling abusiveness and insensitivity is shocking and reflects poorly on the vast majority of students who would never engage in or tolerate such behavior. These kinds of incidents must stop. We must all take responsibility for putting an end to this outrageous behavior. If you witness a similar incident, please go the aid of the student involved. Call campus Public Safety immediately at 556-2222. Let us join together in sending a strong message that the Auraria campus has ZERO TOLERANCE for disrespectful, humiliating and harassing behavior.

More to petition ··tti~n .d.islike.;.for 'The. Met' This letter is in response to the editorial "Get Over the Met" (The Metropolitan, Sept. 19, 1997). The 1997-98 Metro Student Government Assembly chose to take on the issue of the "image change" for many reasons. It goes much deeper than disliking the nickname, "The Met." The petitions circulating around campus against "The Met" are just one part of a campaign to institute shared governance on this campus between the students and the administration. The administration needs to realize that they are not the only decisionmaking body on this campus.

Despite what you may hear from the administration, the name of the school has been changed. Students have no choice but to associate themselves with this image campaign. It is on merchandise in the book store, on the uniforms that our athletes wear representing the college and on letterhead that your letters of recommendation for graduate school are printed on. Where was our choice in those decisions? The backbone of this campaign to take back our school is the fact that we are the customers here, and the adminis-

FAMILY TIES: Sarah Koskoff and Magda Harout In Nine ArmenlaM by Leslle Ayvazlan, directed by Gordon Davidson.

Americanized family explores its roots ~ Ricardo Baca Metropolitan

â&#x20AC;˘

An in-depth exploration of another culture can always be an interesting experience for playwrights, actors and audiences. One such exploration is Nine Armenians, a play that focuses on the lives, loves and deaths in three generations of an Armenian-American family. Heartwarming family humor and a history lesson can be found in this production by the penver Center Theatre Company.

The play's Americanized Annenian family struggles with the death of the family's eldest member and leader, and the rediscovery of their war-tom, povertystricken homeland when one of the granddaughters visits Armenia to learn what she had only heard stories about. The play was written by Leslie Ayvazian, a first-generation ArmenianAmerican. She wrote the play in her grandfather's study, right next to his Annenian typewriter. While her family and other Armenian families have rich histories, Ayvazian said this play is a reminder that

their history is often overlooked. The play is a realistic and modem representation of life. The kids in the play, Raffi (Zak Gavin) and Ginya (Tiffany Ellen Solano), had childish quirks that they just could not give up. The two were always tearing up tissues for a bird to make a nest or arguing like children. Sometimes they would in-line skate across the stage (almost falling off once). The dialogue seems very natural, and it is enhanced by the actors' and actress' Armenian accents. The acting was mature, whether it was Jacob Witkin playing the

omniscient seeming grandfather or Sarah Koskoff playing the inquisitive sister Ani. All the generations of your family can enjoy Nine Armeniat1s, regardless of their ethnicity. The play, from the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, starts a play-exchange program with the Denver Center Theatre. DCTC's Black Elk Speaks was the first part of this trade by going to Los Angeles. Denver was paid back in a big way with Nine Armenians, directed by Mark Taper Forum artistic director Gordon Davidson.

SPOOKY BED: Bonnie M. Ferrill's bizarre outdoor bed wafts the scent of dirt.

By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

University of Colorado at Denver art faculty have come up with some interesting ideas lately, and the vitality and strength of these ideas comes through in the current faculty show at the Emmanuel Gallery. The exhibit, which runs through Oct. 16, includes work in all media from current UCO professors. The two largest works in the show are Seedbed and Chrysalis by Bonnie M. Ferrill. These three-dimensional, mixed-media pieces tantalize most of the senses. Seedbed is a bed made of tree branches that are held together by white homemade paper. The paper looks like cobwebs that twine the headboard and footboard together like an abandoned hammock. There is a pile of dirt underneath the bed, resembling a grave. The piece faintly smells like a old garage or an earthen cellar. Her second piece, Chrysalis, is also made of tree branches and homemade paper. The paper is coated with sticky resin, which colors the piece yellow and brown like a cicada cocoon. Standing almost 7-feet tall, the piece is anchored by a pile of stones. The effect is striking, and it looks like a giant wasp will hatch out of the piece at any minute. Untitled by Deborah Goldman is a two-piece work. The top piece is a steel box that encases a thick piece of hand-casted glass. There is an image of a woman's face behind the glass, which is foggy and mysterious-appearing behind the near-opaque glass. The bottom half of the work is a piece of cloth on a roll, stained brown to resemble parchment. Questions are printed on th<! cloth: "How do you define nature?" "Describe your earliest memory of nature," and "What do

you regard as sacred?" These questions are repeated, over and over, forcing the viewer to interact with the piece. Lorre Hoffman's work also involves interaction between the art and the audience. Hoffman has created 365 small wooden boats, and his goal is to exchange each of these boats for a story. There are 72 boats at the show, and they are displayed on a stand with paper and pens. Visitors who write down a story for Hoffman can then take a boat. The project was inspired by the birth of Hoffman's son in February. The 365 boats symbolize each day in the first year of his son's life. Hoffman plans to publish the stories in a book. Besides the 72 boats at Emmanuel, he is also displaying 180 boats in a Portland, Ore., gallery and the last 113 will be personally exchanged by him for stories. Miss Taken for Evil, an oil painting by Tyler Alpern, features a woman in a red dress, tipping backwards off a piano stool into a waiting monster's green amphibious hands. The work is disconcerting, with almost too-bright colors and distorted perspective. The musical selection is called "Lizzie Borden," the pieces of which are also falling haphazardly off the stage, rather like Miss Taken. Gary Lynch's photos Whisper and Gemini are of the silhouette of a woman. Her head.is faintly backlit, throwing it into shadow against the dark gray background. A bright light off to the side exposes small portions of her face: her eyebrow and mouth in Whisper, and the outliQe of her face and hair in Gemini. The light is controlled very deliberately, so that only the facial features Lynch wants revealed are seen. A fairly technical-looking piece is Craig Coleman's Relay. It consists of two rows of boxes, covered by photos.

ASIAN ART: Polly Chang's mixed media works.

The boxes light up, illuminating the photos, and are connected to each other by a series of cords which run between the boxes and are suspended from the ~eiling. The brownish pictures in the first row of boxes look like cartographers' maps with smaller striped patterns placed on top of them. Mountainous scenes as seen from the sky blend into oblivion underneath the scraps of pattern. The pictures in the bottom row are of leaves. These photos have been reversed, so that the background is black and the subjects white. When illuminated by the light, the veins of xylem and phloem in the leaves路look silver.

CODE NAME

OTIS Skyline Cafe, 777 W. 29th Ave. . 296-3232 Happy Hour: "Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m h's been about a month since the good ol' Skyline Cafe hosted a melee that left Denver's finest defending themselves against Denver's finest alcoholics. ,. On the Sunday night before Labor Day, there was reportedly a scene that made the Fort Collins and Boulder riots look like Tiny Town. Cops vs. The Crowd. Mace. Threats. Last Calf. All the stuff that makes Skyline such a fine estab~ishment.

One Sunday night was another memorable night at Skyline. This time it was a smaller battle, but the police did show up and evict a minor crew of gentlemen, one of whom picked the wrong female to mack on for the '. evening. When a waitress who was working near the ruckus was asked what the hell was going on, she replied, "A girl threw a glass at some guy, and next she's going to >take on the bar." Nevertheless, the girl's actions were pretty typical for the Skyline. A loud crash and breaking glass was heard as this petite young woman, maybe 21 or 22, hurled an empty glass toward homeboy. As soon as the glass hit the air, the Abu-tender hurdled the bar and all sorts of boozers started to boo the young seductress and her seductress friends . Then the police bounced in and started asking questions to the beer-glass thrower, and she said something good enough to get "the fellas kicked out. But this was nothing new. To the average drinker at Skyline, the sound of breaking glass and crowd commotion is as common as ordering a $3.75 pitcher on Sunday night and getting liquored up ~nough to piss on a cop, or at least drunk enough to piss off a cop. Since Skyline tends to draw its best during the summer, most of this year's damage has been done. Sunday night, the patio where the Labor Day melee 路'bccurred was empty, save a few tables and a couple of people at the bar. Although Skyline was not busy on Sunday - there were maybe 200 people - apparently there were enough empty glasses to shatter people's heads. .. Only the change of season will tell if summer's heal is replaced by the mellower shades and attitudes of autumn, because it's time to bring the party inside.

The opening act was DJ Luke Vibert - aka Plug, who was spinning old-school hip-hop as the crowd entered the gothic auditorium. The second act was a band called Linoleum. The lead singer, Caroline, had a sultry voice, contrasting the band's almost discordant guitars and basslines. The bands were always followed by Plug, who would change the music to a more danceoriented format. The Sneaker Pimps took the .stage early. The lead singer, Kelli, slowly strutted around the stage delivering her downbeat lyrics to the heavy trip-hop beats. Using a live drummer instead of electronic drums was a mistake; the beats lost their intensity and drive. The light show made up for it, though, utilizing everything from streams of words and numbers, to old movie and commercial clips, which were projected behind the band on stage. The crowd burst into cheers and screams as the band began its hit tune, "6 Underground," from their album, Becoming X (Virgin Records). This familiar song is receiving large amounts of airplay and is a featured single from The Saint's soundtrack. DJ Plug started again filling the theater with gyrating beats as the final act prepared the stage by breaking down the stage and removing every piece of equip-

ment. Aphex Twin, a solo performer, was scheduled to end the show, but instead, three fuzzy dancing bears with human faces took the stage and accidentally bumped into each other for the remainder of the night. Beats from beyond cool

pumped into the auditorium, but the bears were a bit unsettling if you were expecting to see a band. As far as shows go, this was one pleasant surprise after another it was pretty enjoyable, except for those weird bears.

Fruit, vegetables and vegetarian·foods hard to find Fast food restaurants aplenty, but Auraria campus lacks vegetarian options By Linda Hardesty The Metropolitan

Mom always told us to eat our vegetables, but sometimes that's hard to do at Auraria. Vegetarian food options can be sparse at the campus's food vendors. Imagine. It's I I a.m. and.your calorie intake for the day so far has been two cups of coffee and a Dr. Pepper. Your stomach is gargling and gurgling, and you need to 'get some food, now. You start the endless wandering from food joint to food joint: searching, searching, for some food that's healthy and also appetizing. You start at the Rockies deli in North Classroom. Sometimes it has a tasty vegetarian breakfast burrito with potatoes, eggs and a creamy ranchera sauce with carrots and kidney beans. But today they're all out of the veggie burritos and only have chorizo burritos left. You sigh. Scott Eggertsen, the deli's morning manager, says as far as vegetarian options go, their Boulder Veggie sandwich cream cheese, sprouts, avocado and tomato on bread - is very popular. He says the deli has considered changes to its menu but is not sure what changes they want to make yet. The deli is packed with a selection of bagels, and you consider having one, but you're really not in the mood for another ' bagel. You move on.

Next stop - the Tivoli Food Court. Have they even heard of healthy food in this place? You could munch a jumbo order of French fries from McDonald's, but you know that as the grease settles on your_ gurgling, coffee-soaked stomach, you'll feel sick the rest of the day. Taco Bell might be an option, except that it's rumored lard is used in its refried beans. There's always Al Fresco with its selection of, what else? - bagel sandwiches. You decide not to give in to bagel mania just yet. The Daily Grind is also in the Tivoli, and it has the best selection of healthy food on campus. Daily Grind manager Sasha Beasley said people come there for "flavor and healthiness." There are always several different kinds of homemade soups available and usually one or two of them are vegetarian. The atmosphere is pretty good, too, with giant arched windows providing great views of downtown. But going lo the . same restaurant a couple of times a day has become a daily grind in itself. You decide to trudge on, walking almost all the way across campus to The Mercantile. Once there, you review the familiar menu. There's always the garden burger, or possibly the grilled cheese sandwich. "Why does everything involve

grease?" you ponder. Actually, The Mere has a couple other healthy options, including a tasty spinach melt sandwich and a vegetarian pita with lettuce, tomato, mushroom, onions, feta cheese and yogurt sauce. Mercantile owner Darby Donohue says there used to be a cafeteria in the Plaza Building, but it was replaced by classrooms in 1994. "I still think there's a percentage of people who want a blue-plate hot lunch," Donohue said. He knows some students would like traditional home cooking like meatloaf, fried chicken or spaghetti with side dishes of vegetables. "The cafeteria was great," said Karen Bries, a Metro student. "There was a variety, and it was cheap." But Metro student David Schepp said, "Compared to most universities, that cafeteria was pretty sad." But the cafeteria is no longer an option and you're famished. You decide to visit the last major restaurant - Rockies Deli in the South Classroom. Like the North Classroom location, there are scads of bagels and the familiar Boulder Veggie sandwich. However, the pre-made salads here look a lot more appetizing than those in North Classroom. While the salads there are basically bo·xes of lettuce, you see some interesting salads here including

curry chicken, Waldorf salad and a generous fruit salad. A vegetarian lasagna is offered daily, and there's also a special of the day meatloaf with a side of green beans. As you stand staring al the menu board, your mind swirling with all the food options on campus, all of the sudden you have a vision. You see a sumptuous salad bar. You see lettuce and spinach and garbanzo beans and peas and those liltle miniature corns and ... "Miss? Hello Miss? What can I get you?" the man behind the counter jolts you out of your reverie. "Uhh - I'll have a bagel, toasted, with cream cheese."

Lamb ham thank you, ma'am •Lamb •Lamb •Mercury Folk-inspired singing with a hip-hop techno backbeat is the premise for most of the music found on Lamb's new self-titled release. This Manchester duo consists of Louise Rhodes on vocals and Andrew Barlow supplying the beat. Most of music on this CD is not terribly original. Many of the songs start out slow, with a faint tapping in the back that gives the impression that the song is about to explode into something loud and fast. This doesn't really ever happen. The overall feel of the CD is a pleasant one, but it's a creepy sort of pleasant. Almost all of the songs are about love or

getting dumped, from "Lusty" to "Zero," and there are even a couple of really slow love ballads to cry over. The song "Merge" sounds like a video game sound bite looped over and over. Rhodes' singing sounds like Madonna trying to imitate Bjork, and the earthy references to feelings and ideas is not unlike Luscious Jackson. The beat contributions are fairly fresh because nothing ever really jumps to the racing tempo that is sometimes foreshadowed. But it's still nothing to write home over. This is not a bad album. Somebody who would go to a rave sponsored by the makers of Nytol might enjoy jt.

Clooney and Kidman work well in Hollywood -d~rector's debut PEACE from 13

The characters in this script by Michael Schiffer, who penned Crimson Tide, ride a full range of emotions. There are good but brief performances by Armin Mueller-Stahl, the Academy Award-nominated father from last year's Shine, and Colorado Springs native Michael Boatman, currently on CBS's

Spin City. The chemistry between Kidman and Clooney, were she's in control, is a nice touch that gives way for lots of subtle comedy. Mimi Leder, in her directorial debut, gives the audience non-stop action, leaving us breathless at the end of this catand-mouse game.

Two sets of sisters aim for NCAA soccer title Jenny Sparks/The Metmpolitan

By Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

They've shared everything from bedrooms and bathrooms to toys and trophies. Five of the 27 women that make up the 199/ women's soccer roster have a lot more in common with some of their teammates than a love of kicking soccer balls. Two sets of sisters - Jennifer, Katie and Kari Pierce, and Ariana and Tarena O'Neill - share a bond that goes deeper than grass-stained shin guards or hi-fives after a goal. For each woman, sharing the experience of playing on the same college soccer team is second only to the dream of winning an NCAA Division II title together. And, barring a dramatic collapse, the No. 8-ranked Roadrunners will have at least a shot at fulfiTiing the latter. "'It would be really cool to look back and say all three of us were here and we did it together," said junior goalkeeper Jennifer Pierce, 21, the eldest of the three soccerplaying Pierces. "Most siblings never really get the chance to compete with each other. It's a different sort of bond."

The O'Neills

For the O'Neills, competing together has been inherent. They are two years apart in age (Ariana is 20, Tarena is 18), but have been together on a soccer field for the better part of their lives. "We started pretty early," Ariana O'Neill said. "I was 4 when I started and Tarena was 3 or 4 when she started." But, unlike the United States where girls' soccer is as common as Barbie dolls, Hamilton, New Zealand, is not exactly a girls' soccer factory. The O'Neills grew up there and came Lo the United States after high school. Both began their Metro careers in 1996. " In New Zealand, not many girls play soccer so we played on boys teams," Ariana said. "It's a lot quicker and

the guys don't let up." While both say they feel comfortable here, their initial impression didn't fit the picture each had formed of America. "It was totally weird," Ariana said. "First of all, I got picked up at the airport and you guys drive on the wrong side of the road. "Everything here is flashy and big. Girls here have all the gear, Nike, Adidas - in New Zealand you only dream about it. It's terribly expensive in New Zealand. Everything is at your finger tips here. You don't have to travel 100 miles for a pair of boots." Both have si nce updated their gear and are continually amazed at all the attention they get when they speak. "In New Zealand we hate our accents," Tarena said. "Everyone here loves it. It's kind of fun. I don't think it matters much what we say, people just trip out." The first year was a constant education in the "Yank's" way of life. "It was really difficult at first," Tarena said. "Soccer was the only thing I had. Moving is hard, changing pace, philosophy, everything is different. The food, soccer, the way people speak, it can be difficult." Winning, however, has come easy in both New Zealand and the United States. The O ' Neills won the New Zealand National Championship at Hamilton Girls High School in 1994, Ariana's senior year, but both prefer the brand of soccer played in the States. The fields in New Zealand are often muddy and poorly groomed, producing a game with direct attacks and a minimal emphasis on passing. "It's completely different," Tarena said. "It's kick and chase. I prefer the American game because as a midfielder, I wouldn't see the ball for IO minutes sometimes in New Zealand." Both have adapted well to the American game. Tarena is tied with Gail Gaumond and Julie Ray for the team lead

"At first, SOC· cer Is all we had. Now It's not a problem, America is a good life." Tarena O'Neill

The Pierces A Metro legacy started in 1994 when Jennifer was a freshman. A year later, Katie joined the team and last season, Kari completed the trio. The three played together at Arvada West High School and missed competing for a stale title by one game, a semifinal loss to Northglenn in 1993. The odds of three sisters being able to make the jump from high school to college soccer are minimal, and the odds of all three winding up at the same college ... "I never thought we'd play college together," Jennifer said. "We all three got recruited, though, and (Katie and Kari) wanted to come here." Kari, the youngest of the three at 19, said it was also their parents' dream, and when two thirds of the trio were already at Metro, the decision for her was easy. "Once Jennifer and Katie got here, Isa.id 'I don't want to go anywhere else.' " Soccer transcends everyday life for the Pierces. see SISTERS on 20

"Most siblings never really get the chance to compete with each other."

"I think me and Katie know where each other will be for the whole game."

"It's a great feeling to play high school and college soccer with (my sisters)." Katie Pierce

in goals scored with three and had one goal and four assists in 1996. Ariana has two goals and two assists through eight games and had four goals and live assists last season. And both have adapted Lo living in a new country with only brief lapses of homesickness. "I desperately miss the ocean," Ariana said. "That blue, clear water." Neither misses their last coach in New Zealand. Playing for a national team primarily made up of women in their 20s and early 30s, Ariana and Tarena became the primary focus of the coach's wrath. "Ariana was captain and our coach got us confused," Tarena said. "She would scream Tarena, Tarena, at my sister, thinking it was me. We didn't get along. 1 gave (the coach) the middle finger. She screamed my name so loud once some drunk guy at least 100 yards away started yelling Tarena, Tarena."

Roadrunners ease into I 0th victory By Nick Gamer The Metropolita11

Consistent intensity and hard work helped the Metro volleyball team to an 1;;asy 3-0 victory (15-5, 15-2, 15-5) over the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs on Sept. 21 at the Auraria Events Center. "We have been due for an easy one," coach Joan McDermott said. "All the matches that we have played so far have · been all tough matches." The Roadrunners, ranked No. 15, might seem to be cruising along with a good record and the ranking, but both the players and coaches are noticing a weakness - the team's inconsistent play in the second game of matches. Metro (I 0-4, 4-1) has lost the second game five times this season, three of which were in matches it lost. "We are playing strong in the first game," McDermott said. "In the second game, we are struggling a bit co get back to the way that we played in the first game." Senior co-captain Laurie Anderson also has noticed the Roadrunners ' problem with second games. "In the first game we come out and play great," Anderson said. " In the second game, we know what we are against and we tend to play down to the other teams level."

The Roadrunners got through the second game against UCCS uneventfully and are hoping to put the second-game funk behind them. "We maintained our intensity throughout the match," McDermott said. "We did not commit a single error." Metro, not yet at the halfway point in its season, is just three wins shy of equaling last season's total of 13. "We are playing (well)," Anderson said. "You can see the hard work in the practices, and even more in the games. "During the game, our defense seems to rise to the occasion no matter if we are winning or losing." While Anderson led the way for the Roadrunners in assists (32) and digs ( 10), freshman Michelle Edwards pounded out a team-high I 0 kills . Edwards continues to impress in her freshman season and said she is used to all the national attention the team is getting. "My high school team was decent," Edwards said. 'The club team I played for received about the same attention this team is getting now." Metro will travel to Adams State for a conference match on Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. The Roadrunners return to Auraria Events Center Sept. 30 to square off with Colorado College at 7 p.m.

AT THE NET: Metro senior Holly Rice battles a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs player for the ball during a home match Sept. 21.

On field, soccer gives sibling rivalry the boot SISTERS from 19

If they argue, as siblings are known to do, the argument dies the minute the first ball is kicked. "We get along great on the field," said Katie, the middle sister at age 20. "When we get on the field we are one. Soccer is my first love and when I get out there I don't hold any grudges." But being the middle sister hasn't always been fun. "It's kindof tough," Katie said. "I always get ganged up on." In Metro's 2-1 victory over Regis on Sept. 16, Katie found Kari with a perfect pass, and the ball found its way into the net. "I've been playing with both of them for a long time, Kari in the center and me on the left," Katie said. "I know exactly what she's going to do."

good of a team to let go of what we know we can have," Jennifer said. And after every game, win or lose, the Pierce sisters meet to discuss each other's and the team's performance. "I don't know if we are harder on ea.ch other, but we take the game very seriously," Kari said. All three believe the team accepts them as individuals and as sisters and none have felt any negative vibes from fellow Roadrunners. \ · And the added familiarity goes a long way on the field. Senior Shannon Wise said in the preseason that having so many sisters on one team oniy helps. "It's great having the sibling thing," Wise said. "They've been playing together their whole lives and it's a good combination. And I think it's neat because they work so well together."

The combination produced seven goals and eight assists last year and with Jennifer recovered from a torn Achilles tendon, the three will have the remainder of this season and all of next to take it as far as possible. Kari has two goals and one assist, Katie one goal and one assist and Jennifer has 29 saves and a .087 goals against average through eight gam~s . The Roadrunners were ranked as high as No. 5 before suffering consecutive losses Sept. 19 and 21 . Metro dropped a 1-0 decision to the University of Northern Colorado after outshooting the Bears 21-5 for its first loss of the year. Then, against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Uniyersity of Southern Colorado, the Roadrunners lost by the identical score after outshooting USC 16-5.

several times with a quick barrage of shots early in overtime. Each time onlookers let out a collective "whew" when goals didn't materialize. Finally, at 102:25 Mines' defender Matt Anderson was tackled as he broke free near the Metro goal. Anderson received a penalty kick. The Roadrunners had just been denied a call on a simi lar play less than a minute before at the Orediggers end of the field. Metro goalie Stephen Babby was fooled on the penalty kick as Anderson faked right and scored left. "(Babby's) theory has to be to pick a way to go, and hope they play the ball there and he's going to win it," Crookham said. "It didn't happen that way." Babby might have singlehandedly kept the Roadrunners in the game long enough to be put in such a lonely situation. !"Je had made eight saves before the penalty and several of them were cat-like

with the junior pouncing on the ball out of nowhere. Metro players protested the call that set up the game winning goal and Crookham offered no comment when asked about the two plays afterward. Mines coach Bob Pearson understood the frustration. It was a good call, Pearson said "(But) I believe that the call (on Metro's end) could have been a penalty kick as well, but it wasn't," Pearso n said. Metro likely will drop out of the rankings for the second Lime this season after the loss. " We're al a point in the season where things are mentally tough for us," Crookham said. "We haven' t seen our home field yet." Metro has five games remaining, including a return trip to Mines Oct. 5, before it will finally play o n the new Auraria Fields.
