Minorities trend to graduate Metro exceeds goal, rates grow for sixth consecutive year

By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

•

Metro exceeded its goal for ethnic minority graduations this year by about 2 percent, continuing a trend of rising rates over the past six years. Nearly 20 percent of Metro graduates from July I, 1996 to June 30, 1997 were minorities, according to figures from the office of Institutional Research. The official figure, 19.4 percent, is 2.1 percent above a goal set by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for that time period. Vernon Haley, Metro's vice president of Student Services, said intervention services have helped students who might drop out because of financial or academic difficulty. Haley said Metro has identified students with academic and financial problems and has moved to address them. "We want to get more people into the service loop as soon as possible," Haley said. Minority enrollment at Metro has also ,

increased to 23.4 percent this fall, up 4.4 percent from 1996, according to a Sept. 15 press release from the office of College Communications. The Colorado legislature directed the CCHE in 1987 to develop a policy to increase the proportion of college graduates who are minorities. The following year, the commission announced a statewide minority graduation goal for the year 2000 of 18.6 percent. This percentage reflects the number of 1988 Colorado high ~chool graduates who are minorities. Colorado colleges and universities have different minority graduation goals for 2000, depending on the local minority population. Metro's goal is 21.2 percent. It is higher than the state average because more minorities live in the metro area where the college draws most of its students. Metro President Sheila Kaplan has talked tough about diversity and minority graduation rates since arriving at the college in 1993. Back then, minorities made up 13.5

percent of Metro graduates, a rate Kaplan called "terrible." Since then, Kaplan has consistently noted increases in the minority graduation rate as a victory for her administration. From 1993 to 1997, the rates climbed about 6 percent, and now ethnic minorities are almost as well represented among Metro graduates as they are among Metro students. ''I'm not sure how everyone else is doing, but I hope we will always be the college which exceeds these numbers," Kaplan said. Kaplan recently criticized colleges in Texas and California for abandoning affirmative action in their student appliq1.tion policies. Metro won't take that road unless Colorado law changes, she said. The CCHE requires colleges that don 't meet their yearly goals to submit a plan explaining how they will increase recruitment, retention, graduation and transfer of minority students. The commission also requires those schools to increase budgets for programs to keep minorities in school.

Fliers accuse department of racism By Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan

Aiers accusing Metro's African American Studies department of "reverse discrimination" and racism appeared on campus billboards Oct. I . But Auraria Campus Police will not investigate because no one broke the law by posting the fliers. Cathy Buchanan, administrative assistant for AAS, alerted the police after she discovered a cluster of the fliers posted on a display in the African American Reading Resource Room. The display, which is a collage of key figures in African American history, is outside the department's office in the Rectory Building. Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria Campus Police, said his department is not investigating the incident because the fliers don't threaten anyone and aren't directed toward any particular person. "(As) unpleasant and distasteful as these types of incidents are, there's a fine line between First Amendment

rights and the criminal part," Ortiz said. One of the fliers says, "Racism is still practiced on the Metroplitan (sic) State Campus by the African American Studies Department in the form of reverse discrimination. Wake up!" Cathy Buchanan The other two ask, "Can it be called a 'multi-cultural' requirement if it excludes these cultures already taught at Metro? Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish" and "Is the African American Studies department subconsciously teaching racism? Wake up!" Buchanan later learned that the fliers, which were also stuffed in the professors' mailboxes, were also posted in the Arts Building and West Classroom. No one in the department knows who posted the fliers, said C.J. White, chairman of African American Studies. Buchanan said even though the posting of the fliers was not illegal, she feels harassed.

"(Campus police) came over and said, 'This is not a crime,"' she said. "But those fliers are indicating that our department is racist, and I do consider that to be a form of harassment." White, however, said he's not bothered by the accusations of racism. 'This undoubtedly came from a loose cannon," White said. "Our classes attract students regardless of race, ethnicity or national origin and use a sound, academic approach. If we were preaching racism or hate, why would people take our classes?" This is not the first time someone has posted fliers saying people or departments at Metro are racist. Former Metro student John Morris distributed 1,600 fliers in October 1995 calling Metro political science Professor Oneida Meranto a racist for her comments in a September 1995 article printed in The MetropoliJan. Meranto, who did not respond to the allegations, was criticized for saying she could not tolerate the "white mind-set" of many Americans. The "white mind-set" is based on materialism. individuality and greed, she said.

Douglas County high school doubles as Metro campus By Amber Davis The Metropolitan

Metro's extended campus system has branched out to Douglas County with this month's opening of the University Center at Chaparral. Metro's operation there is a certificate program aimed primarily at people in the business field. Chaparral also includes programs offered by the University of Colorado at Denver, Arapahoe Community College and the Unive~sity of Denver. Each school offers its own courses in a wing of the new Chaparral High School at 15655 Brookstone Drive. The high school opened in August. Metro's offerings at Chaparral include courses in international business, foreign language and technical communications. Classes begin Oct. 14. Andrew Breckel, Metro's assistant vice president for Extended Education, said a sepa-

Chaparral is the newest of Metro's three alternative campuses, Breckel said. The others are Metro North and Metro South. These campuses offer spe-

cial accelerated business courses, Internet classes, correspondence classes and weekend classes. Some classes are also offered on an eight-week term. "These campuses were designed to provide a unique educational experience to students," Breckel said. The alternate campuses also

provide a more relaxed setting. Tables and chairs, rather than small, uncomfortable desks make students feel more comfortable, and the classes are smaller. The student population at Metro North and Metro South totals 5,000 students. roughly Enrollment at Chaparral is about 225. But the population is rising

at all the schools, Breckel said. The locations also help to accommodate students in the suburbs. Metro North, located at I 20th Avenue and Interstate 25, is roughly 15 miles north of the main campus, while Metro South al Urchard Road and 1-25 is approximately 15 miles south. Tuition and admission standards are the same for Chaparral, Metro North and South as they are for Metro's main campus. Metro North and South charge an extra $23 fee per credit hour. Those colleges charge the extra fee because they don't get state funds and have to generate the money to operate. "The campuses try very hard to fill the student 's needs, Breckell said. Metro North and South got an 85 percent approval rating, according to student evaluations last semester. Students rated everything from faculty, classes, and programs, to the comfort of the campus.

judge shoots down appeal on salary lawsuit By Bill Keran The Metropolitan

State District Judge Robert Hyatt dealt a blow to 72 Metro professors who sued the college's board of trustees when he denied their appeal to reconsider his judgment on the case. Metro computer science Professor Norm Pence, who is also treasurer of the Faculty Protective Association, said he received Hyatt's notice Oct. 8. Pence said he and 54 other professors will take the case to the Colorado Court of Appeals by mid-November. Hyatt ruled in favor of Metro's faculty last July, and

each was awarded only $ f in damages. The plaintiffs \ sought $5.9 million in damages, an average of nearly $82,000 per profeseye on the sor, Pence said. Soon after, the FPA, the group that spearheaded the lawsuit, asked Hyatt to reconsider the award and asked for more than $13,000 in legal fees. Hyatt turned down both requests. He agreed that the trustees breached their contract

with Metro's faculty on several points, including their failure to pay professors on par with similar colleges but said the faculty had no foundation for its claim. Metro professors had hoped that Hyatt would figure out another calculation for back pay. "We won the case, we won on all the liability issues, (and) everything we said the school did wrong was found to be true by the judge," Pence said. "The only disagreement we had with the court was the calculation of damages." Hyatt was not available for comment, and Sherry Patten, the director of College Communications, said she did not want to comment.

Denver police are still investigating a Sept. 11 hit-and-run accident involving an Auraria parking attendant who was hit and dragged 50 feet. Takashi Okamura, 26, a Metro stu! dent majoring in criminal justice, was injured after he tried to copy a car's license plate number when the driver tried to skip paying the $2 parking lot fee. Denver police would not release the name of the person who hit Okamura. Okamura was taken to Denver Health Medical Center for observation and was released with a few scrapes and a bruised

leg. Bridget Groff, Auraria's field parking manager, said that Okamura has been suffering from frequent headaches and believes the accident might have aggravated a prior injury to his neck. "Takashi was only trying to do his job," Groff said. Okamura was working at Lot R, which is north of the North Classroom, when a woman in a green four-door Saturn was waiting in line to enter the lot and motioned him to her car, according to an incident report on file in the Auraria parking office. The woman complained about the long wait and demanded that he lift the see HIT on 10

Students lean on Listening Post ByM~Hughes The-Metroj}Oiian

•

Mabel Barth has heard everything. It's her job. For almost 20 years, she's been the person behind a table in the North Classroom called The Listening Post. Barth, the founder of the program, and other volunteers have provided support and an understanding ear to Auraria students every Monday since 1979. Since the program started, the posts have expanded to more than 30 locations in Denver and more than 100 nationwide, Barth said. The idea for The Listening Post came from Barth's studies in interpersonal communication as a graduate student at the University of Denver. As an experiment, Barth set up a table in spring 1978 at Auraria's St. Francis Center. During that five-day experiment, 47 people visited the table, and Barth learned the importance of communication in people's lives - whether it was conveying good or bad news, she said. "I think all the world's problems could be solved if people only communicated better with each other," Barth said. "People need someone to listen to them. When something good happens, they need to talk about it." Most of the volunteers are retired professionals who volunteer a day or two per week at a specific post. Lorraine Christian and Jim Davis,

Jesse Stephenson/The Metropolitan

LISTEN UP: Kraig Meyer, left, chats with volunteers Lorraine Christian an<f Stan Winstanley at the Tlvoll llstenlng post Oct. 6. both retired school teachers, have been volunteers in the South Classroom for four years. On average, Christian and Davis see anywhere from JO to 20 students a day, many of whom are regular visitors . Some just stop by to have a few peanuts or frui.t, which are offered at the tables. Currently, 34 states have schools or colleges with Listening Posts, and more are being added each week, Barth said. The Listening Post is a non-profit organization and relies on corporate donations, a trust fund, and individual contributions for funding. Its annual budget is

under $50,000, Barth said. Though the organization often accepts donations from churches and religious organizations, it is not associated with any religious denomination. Barth believes a religious affiliation would discourage students from being open and honest with volunteers. It would also break the organization's cardinal rule of offering understanding, rather than judgment, to students. "We tell volunteers during training that they have to put their own beliefs and opinions on the shelf, so that they (don't) impose their views on other people and can be here for the students," Barth said.

Army vet lands SACAB post By Perry Swan.son

Activities, so he could sit on the committee without creating "a conflict of interest." "SAC AB is quite possibly the most powerful student group on campus," Johnson said. The committee represents student interests for all Auraria schools. Matt Johnson SACAB members head up six committees with other students dealing with parking, child care at Auraria, the Auraria Book Center, campus food, the Auraria Events Center and the Tivoli. SACAB representatives are non-voting members on the student government at their college. The committee consists of six members, two from each school at Auraria. SACAB members don't get to vote outside of the group's internal committees. Metro's other SACAB representative, Jane Duncan, serves as a member to the Auraria Board of Directors. That position is non-voting and advisory only, according to Colorado law. But even without voting rights, SACAB members significantly influence the groups they advise, Duncan said. "The Auraria Board is very openminded to what students want," she said, see SACAB on 10

A military veteran, who said life in the Army taught him about leadership, has filled the last vacancy on Metro's student government. The Student Government Assembly appointed Matt Johnson as representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board on Sept. 29. Johnson replaces Maria Rodriguez, who resigned three weeks before. Johnson, a 25-year-old English major, lost a campaign in April against Jessie Bullock for vice president of Student Fees. But Johnson wanted to remain active in campus politics, he said. "I love my campus," Johnson said. "I've got experience in leadership. I have energy. Getting things done is one of my favorite things to do." Johnson, who will earn $500 per month, said his initial goal as a new member to the committee is to determine how SACAB works. His next task will be his work as chairman of the Auraria Events Center Policy Advisory Committee. Since all Auraria schools use the center, scheduling conflicts are sometimes inevitable, Johnson said. Another issue Johnson said he will address is a proposed increase in the Student Health Center fee. "There's different things I'm going to stick my hand into," he said.

Poet tackles teaching gig By Bill Keran The Metropolitan

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘

Cherrie Moraga, an award winning poet, playwright and essayist, was on campus Oct. 8-10 as parl of the Chicano/Latino Distinguished Visiting Professorship. The program, initiated by Metro's Chicano Studies department and Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen, the dean of Student Life, will bring a renowned member of the Hispanic community to campus to give speeches and teach classes each year. Luis Torres, chairman of C hicano Studies, said Moraga was a natural for the position. She .as written or co-edited eight books, i1 eluding the American Book Award \\ nner, This Bridge Across my Back: W tings by Radical Women of Color. "We thought about authors, about artists, pe,1ple in the political sphere, civil rights leaders, and people in a few other areas," Torres said. "We decided on Ms . Moraga partly because she's a very accomplished author." Torres said that another reason Moraga was selected is because she's a

renowned figure in Chicano circles. "Our professorship specifically focuses on those who have made contributions - outstanding contributions - to the Chicano and Latino community, and her works speak lo the Chicano experience." Ortega-Ericksen said students majoring in art, political science and sociology have shown interest in Moraga's work, and having a multi-faceted professor is important in generating interest in the visiting professor. Ortega-Ericksen would also like to invite Frederico Pena, Clinton's transportation secretary and former mayor of Denver, to the campus. Henry Cisneros, the secretary for Housing and Urban Development and former mayor of San Antonio, as well as actors Jimmy Smits of NYPD Blue and Edward James Olmos of Miami Vice are also possible candidates. Torres also has some ideas in store. "One person that I, specifically, am extremely interested in bringing is Deloras Huerta," he said. "She is the vice president of the United Farm Workers, and I think she is one of the most significant individuals of the 20th century in the Chicana and Chicano community."

He then darted to the driver's side, grabbed the car door and held on as the woman bolted out of the lot. Okamura was dragged about 50 feet until he Jet go of the car door. The woman then sped away. "In all the time I've worked here, I've never seen anything like this," said Groff, a Metro graduate who's worked eight years for Auraria parking services. She has been the manager for three years. But Groff also said that she didn' t think standing in front of the car to get the license plate number was a very good idea.

The Artist's band , The New Power Generation was a showcase of brilliant musical talent as always. Band members included drummer Kirk Johnson, guitarist Kathleen Dyson, keyboardist

Morris Hayes, and an incredibly funky Rhonda Smith on bass. The band followed the energetic entertainer through all his surprising breaks and seamless song juxtapositions. After the concert, there was only one complaint: "He didn't play ' When Doves Cry!' " Sources say he performed it at the official after-show party at The Church, 1100 Lincoln St., where the band played three sets until 5 a.m. The total experience was unforgettable.

OTIS Las Margaritas 1037 E. 17th Ave. 803-2199 Happy Hour: Mondays-Fridays, 4-6:30 p.m.; also 10 p.m.-1 a.m. dally ~.-.....

~~~~~ If there are two things every college student should know, where to get a cheap margarita and where to get cheap food qualify. Las Margaritas is the simple answer to both, featuring half-price margaritas during happy hour and the best buffet east of Union Station. Last Thursday, it was evident that Las Margaritas was the place to get the weekend started early with yet another hangover. First of all, there was not one, not two, but three imitation Cliff Clavens at the bar. No kidding. They were even wearing full post office regalia, including mace on their belt loops. And, of course, Darby (who also manages the chaos at 15th St. Tavern on Sunday nights) was more than willing to serve the gang at Cheers, er .. . Las Margaritas. As a matter of fact, Darby was willing to serve anybody even the Mayberry set. "Darby," I said, :·we need a round of tequila shots, fast." Her response: "Well, I was going to bring you guys a round, but I didn't know how far you wanted to go." "Darby," I said, "we're going all the way - on the express. We just ran out of beer at home and thought we should come and get some happy hour." It only took the gang from Mayberry about 30 minutes to reduce the happy hour buffet by about 69 percent. Li' I Opie Taylor was content with the cheese enchiladas because now he's a vegetarian, and Goober and Gomer were grabbing the enchiladas with one plate and piling the chicken wings on to another. The waitress working our table on the " patio asked quite abruptly, "You guys want more alcohol or what?" And while Goober and Gomer were still plugging away at the free food, I responded: "Hell, yes. Bring it!" So next time you're out looking for your real father - the one who gave you real stamps when you were a kid- or when you want to get wasted and eat for free, look no further than the stoplight at Downing and East 17th. -Frank Kimitch

Silkworm Developer Matador ''!don't like American girls. They 're always so plump and white," sings Silkworm guitarisllvocalist Andy Cohen on the band's recently released album Developer. This line, delivered so matter-offactly, sets up an interesting question. Whal kind of band would write something that could offend a large section of their potential audience? A band that plays its difficult music only for itself, that's who. Silkworm has carved a career out of not caring what others think. The band's songs are notorious for lacking elements that people tend to associate with the concept of "good music," things such as melodies, choruses and hooks. Their lyrics, written by Cohen and vocalisllbassist Tim Midgett, are interesting and literate but aren't as quotable as those written by other indie rock smartasses, such as Stephen Malkmus of Pavement. Nobody's going of the to be scrawling Silkworm lyrics all over their math folders any- catchiest songs Silkworm has ever written. Its time soon. Developer shows no deviation from this pattern.

John Fahey The Mill Pond double 7" Little Brother Records olk guitar probably isn't something you associate with heavy, noisy industrial music. There's really no reason you should, as these two types of sounds are almost light-years from each other. The former tends to be spacious and airy, while the latter pounds the listener with sounds

influenced by machines and urban decay. But The Mill Pond, the new double 7" by guitarist John Fahey, attempts to merge these two. Odd musical juxtapositions are nothing new to him. He has been exploring the possibilities of folk guitar since 1959, developing a style that mixes traditional bluegrass and folk playing styles with the compositional ideas of minimalist composers such as John Cage and Terry Riley. Have a favorite guitarist? If they're smart, they 've probably been influenced by Fahey's playing or influenced by someone who has been. 1994's best-of The Return of the f?epressed (Rhino) is a good place to start immersing yourself in his work. On The Mill Pond, Fahey is joined by Jeff Allman playing what the sleeve describes as "electronics." Fahey plays a simple, melodic guitar pattern throughout the work, which is accompanied, distorted and sometimes completely buried by Allman's noise pieces and sound manipulations. Each side of the two-disc set is slightly different. Side three, titled "You Can't Cool Off In The Mill Pond, You Can Only Die," is the best. Allman reaches his peak here, blanketing the listener with a barrage of noise - industrial sounds, screaming and random grinding and whirring combined all at once. Fahey's guitar comes and goes during this chaos, providing it some structure and direction. The other sides explore much of the same territory. Fahey and Allison's work throughout the piece complement each other more than could be expected from such disparate styles. The Mill Pond is difficult (with a capital D) listening. It will probably disturb many listeners but will reward those patient enough to plow through the noise and really explore it in all its aspects. - B. Erin Cole

Latin American artists explore depths J

Abstract mixed-media works at Rule Gallery examine religion, human condition By Ryan Bachman The Metropolitan

The Rule Gallery shows the differing light of the new generation of Latin American art. The Rule Modern and Contemporary Gallery, in. conjunction with lhe Broadway Corridor Arts Alliance's First Fridays, is showing the works of two distinctly different art.ists. The eight canvases that make up Ricardo Mazal's Yellow Circle series of paintings cover the four walls of the gallery. They surround the viewer with a theoretical circle of 60- by 54-inch oils. The girth of the paintings dwarf the viewer, drawing them into a meditative circle of the soft and sometimes luminating yellow and white marbled veins of the oil. All Mazal's paintings, however similar they are, carry an emotional inclination and for whatever articulation they lack, they all harmonize into one resonant and harmonious pitch. Maza! was born in Mexico

City and began painting in Spain in the mid-l 980s. Since then, he has been the subject of many exhibitions throughout Mexico, Spain and the United States. He now works out of New York City. In the studio adjacent to Mazal is a series of six pieces done by former Denver resident Jesus Polanco. He is one of Colorado's most well-known painters and has received nationwide attention. Polanco's art is somewhat of a departure from typical Latin American art. He uses brilliant shapes and colors to abstractly question religion and the physical and psychological human condition. "I explore the affinities between modes of perception (represented by the abstract quality, of the work) and empirical knowledge (represented by the fragmented bqdy)," Polanco said describing his own approach to painting. Polanco's works are comprised of a variety of media, including encaustic, vinyl paints,

inks, collage, artist's tapes and artificial resins. His imagery is created from ideas of abstraction and representation; his art dismembers religion and the self by literally cutting up the human anatomy .and intermingling it with verse. "A frantic running from silence, a great silence overcomes me ... And I wonder why I ever thought to use language," Polanco has scribed in the artist's statement accompanying his work, The Shape of My Tongue. For the work Nightchorus he writes, "You are all a chorus, and in your sleeper's river, you sleep." Polanco tries to express psychic and emotional depths through his Photo courtesy Rule Gallery work ..

Parking drives rage at Auraria Nation Of Islam has no monopoly • on oppression It happens daily. Students curse al parking employees al ~Utan Auraria, chastising them for EdItorial countless reasons . It's a mirror image of society dealing with News: the same issues on city streets. Students at It's the American way. Auraria are People who write parking reacting with tickets, boot or tow cars, or colrage toward lect money as a parking lot parking attendant are guaranteed conemployees. stant abuse in this line of work. Is it right or fair for the Views: This general public to react with frustration is "parking rage?" being taken No. way too far. Is it understandable? Sometimes. No one likes to pay to park a car. It seems like yet another way for the city, the college or the private business to reach its greedy hand into a person's pocket. Students pay thousands of dollars to attend college and hundreds more for books and other school supplies. At the beginning or the end of a day, paying the extra $2 to $5 can be rather annoying. And it's intolerable when the parking folks make an honest mistake and tow or ticket a car needlessly. Missing work or an

important appointment, a class, a date or a Monday Night Football game thanks to a tow truck or a boot can drive a person mad. However, mistakes of that nature are far less frequent than the same results stemming from legitimate tows, boots and tickets. Students' cars are towed from Auraria only after three tickets go unpaid and a warning is issued in the form of a bright red slicker on the driver's window. Yet the rage boils. An incident involving an angry woman and a parking lot attendant captures a disturbing trend. The woman, who was late for a meeting, drove through the parking gate without paying and later rammed the attendant with her car, dragging him 50 feet before speeding off. This proves people are irrational when it comes to parking·. As annoying as it is to deal with rules we hate and the occasional parking attendant with a God complex, it's time to chill. Pay to park your car if you drive. Arrive early to get a spot if you know the lot you need will be crowded. Pay for the legitimate parking tickets you get, and fight the ones without merit. And save the screaming and cursing for the guy who cuts you off in rush-hour traffic. Of course, then you might gel shot. "Road rage" is a whole different story.

"The Jews are a frightened people. Nineteen centuries of 'Christian Love' have b_roken their nerves. " - Benjamin

Disraeli, former British prime minister One of my biggest problems with the .Nation Of Islam (other than the vehement anti-Semitism that is spouted so readily by its current leader, the disHonorable Louis Farrakhan) is the inability of its members to question what he says. What one man says is gospel, and even when that man is proven fallible, Dave Romberg questioning his word is unacceptable. Jive Remember Malcolm X? As he learned about Elijah Muhammad's indiscretions and became Jess militant and unwavering, he was silenced. Cases like this show the Nation Of Islam has departed from Muslim scripture just as much as any other religion. My other problem with the Nation Of Islam was illustrated al a lecture Sept. 24 when Jamal Muhammad challenged anyone to "find another group of people anywhere in the world that have suffered the way African Americans have suffered." Why does the Nation Of Islam think it has a monopoly on suffering? How about the rape and pillage of the cultures and people indigenous to this continent? How about the persecution of the Chicano over the last several hundred years? How about the blatant racism heaped upon the Asian American? How about the Jew? You wanna talk about suffering, let's talk about suffering. My people have either been kicked out of or annihilated in almost every country on the planet. My people have faced mass extermination more times throughout history than I care to count. Muhammad blasts the white man, blaming him for 400 years of oppression. Four hundred years is a drop in the bucket, Jamal. Let's try thousands of years, a large portion of which was spent building the pyramids you so readily accept credit for creating. Those were built by Jewish slaves, held captive for 1,000 years by their Egyptian foils. But I'll bet Muhammad would readily contradict any of my points. His teacher is revisionism at its most evil. Farrakhan's word is Jamal's gospel. And that's a hell of a scary proposition. Farrakhan now refuses to grant one-on-one interviews. His tirade and banter are based on the hate from which he sprang. He can't be cornered because he lives outside the law and outside morality. Holding him accountable for his lies and innuendo is pointless. Instead, I challenge his faith. There is always an absolute truth. But everyone has an agenda, especially people in positions of power. The true scholar would seek out that truth even if it contradicted what he was "taught." So I challenge you, Jamal Muhammad, lo question the accuracy of what you have been taught. I challenge you to say, "I have learned," rather than, "The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said."

Columnist cited for lack of research Editor, I am writing in response to Dave Flomberg' s Oct. 3 editorial, "Parking racket bites students." How much research went into this article, and how many years have you, Dave Flomberg, been on the Auraria Campus? First of all, if you have ever read the parking receipt you buy from the attendant, it says that we are not liable for any damages or theft of your car. Nowhere is it stated that Auraria will protect your car if you pay. Secondly, your proposal to switch daily fee parking to permit parking was attempted about 10 years ago and failed . Next, who says we are towing undeserving students' cars? Less than 2 percent of the people who use the Auraria Campus receive parking citations.

But don't feel sorry for the people who do ge~ tow.ed, they've had at least three parking citations, a big red sticker stuck on their car window, and several notices sent to their address. Fourth, I thought it was especially mean to refer to the parking attendants as "some unhappy sop (sitting) there and tak(ing) your money while blaming you for his sad state of existence." The majority of parking attendants are foreign students who come to the Auraria campus to •• get an education. Most speak two and three languages and study complex subjects such as engineering, biology, law and business. So why would any of these students be blaming anyone for their "sad stale of existence?" These are some of the nicest people I have met on campus. It's unfortunate

that they have to deal with misinformed students. Finally, as a suggestion, I would advise anyone who is confused or even fed up with parking at Auraria to come into the Parking Office or ask one of the attendants where the best place to park for class is. I feel that most students are not informed about parking. I park in Lot A for 75 cents. It is only one block from campus and is usually not even half full. In addition, there is free parking on 5th Street and north of 7th Street and Auraria Parkway. So Dave Flomberg, pick up a parking guide the next time you park on campus and read it this time!

Writer does readers disservice with 'junk journalism' Editor, Travis Henry's Oct. 3 column about the drinking law repeated the old, and idiotic rhetoric, "Old enough to go to war, not old enough to drink." He also advocated that the laws should apply "across the board." What a novel idea. Let's go with this premise. Let's start by pointing out that the U.S. government is no longer allowed to draft people. So he must be referring lo the responsible and dedicated adults who VOLUNTEER to JOIN the army and then eventually go to war. So let's make that "across the board." The driver's test in America is pretty weak, so each person wanting lo drive should pass a driving test that the Mercedes-Benz company gives out to special security guards, such as the FBI. And since every soldier should know his/her weapon inside out, no person can drive unless they know every inch of the engine block.

"Across the board" would also mean that in order to drink that one has to obtain a license only after they have proven that they know the beer making process, at least 100 different beer types and the exact alcohol content of at least 50 hard liquors. This philosophy would also mean that people would have to take a test to vote. What's that you say? This isn't what you meant by "across the board?" Oh, you meant AGE. Even better! Thal would mean that no one can drive, vote, or drink until the age of 21 . Henry said that arbitrary lines are fine as long they're drawn "across the board." And since 21 will now be the official adult age, we won't have to worry about pesky college freshmen screwing up the vote. And besides, 21 -year-olds are barely responsible enough to know they should not.drink and drive. There's no way an 18year-old would be. . So I think you're right, Mr. Henry, we should make "across the board" and raise the adult age to 21. What a great idea!

In case you didn' t notice, I'm being sarcastic. And unlike Mr. Henry, I will have the courtesy of informing you of that. It's difficult to take anything Mr. Henry says seriously after his Sept. 26 article where he staled, "I make it a policy not to believe in what I write," or something to that effect. Well, then why should we believe you? Henry tried to hide his wrong by exploiting the death of his friend and covered it all up by saying it was "satire." It's know wonder he advocates lowering the drinking age. His writing and argumentative style make about as much sense as a drunk 16year-old trying to justify why he has the right to drink and drive. He does a great disservice lo The Metropolitan with his junk journalism.

YoungB. Kim Metro student

Is this journalism, what kind of newspaper is this, anyway? Editor, While reading the September 26, 1997 edition of The Metropolitan, I came across an article that has caused me to question just what kind of newspaper The Metropolitan is and what kind of writer Linda Hardesty is trying to be. In her article, "Fruit, vegetables and vegetarian foods hard to find," Ms. Hardesty attacks every shop on campus for not serving healthy foods. She is sure to mention every eatery in the food court and apparently spoke to only one employee of any of them. In fact, she states that Al Fresco is among these "with its selection of, what else? - bagel sandwiches," First off, Ms. Hardesty either does not know how to read or does not know how to spell. The name of the eatery in the food court is Cafe Fresco or as on its flyers (sic) "Cafe Fresco: A Healthier Alternative TM." What is more disturbing is that Ms. Hardesty, in her search for vegetarian

options, has ignored that Cafe Fresco serves probably the largest selection of non-meat meals offered on campus. Thal is unless I am wrong in thinking that:the freshly made dinner salads, pasta salads, spaghetti with tomato sauce (no meat, of course), fettuccini with alfredo sauce, or humus are healthy, meal alternative foods. There is even a veggie sandwich served on a pita, croissant or, yes, a bagel. No, it seems that Ms. Hardesty decided that the facts, such as the name of an eatery and its menu, were not helpful in creating the negative attitude she put forth in her article. On the other side of this is the fact that The Metropolitan would publish the article without even proofing it. Granted, it is not possible to check the credibility of every article written, but I would think that a piece written by a person who isn't even on the writer/reporter staff would be looked at a little more carefully.

And since the offices of the paper are just upstairs from the food court ... is The Metropolitan a newspaper? Or is .it a rag for pseudo journalism in which the writer may create whatever image he or she desires, despite the facts? I would like to think that the students have a newspaper that is going out of its way to fill the pages with informative, well written and accurate articles. But if articles like this one continue to fill the space of this paper, we will have to rename it to The Metropolitan Enquirer. Anyone care to join me at Cafe Fresco for a humus pita and a bottled water?

Metro freshman defender Liam Barnes grew up In England playing a different brand of soccer than he has found so far at Metro. Barnes passed on an offer to play professionally la England to come to Metro and get an education.

T. Metropolitan

L i a m Barnes is the heavy on a field of bantam-weights. When he growls, you realize that you don't want to make him bark. He could do well in football. The thing is, the sport Barnes plays is called soccer. Barnes, 18, a Metro freshman defender from England, has played in 13 games this season. He has received yellow cards in nine of them. A yellow card is the referee's way of warning a player or coach when he or she is teetering on the fine line of aggressive play versus assault. A red card means you have crossed that line and gets you tossed from the game. Barnes has been tossed once. It happened during his second game in America when Metro beat Cal Poly Pomona in ·early September. He came close to leaving a Sept. 3 game early with Regis as well. Barnes introduced a Ranger to the turf almost as easily as if he was discarding a chewing gum wrapper. The Regis faithful took to their feet, hissing and sneering at the man from North Yorkshire.

The Rangers encircled him. They pointed and jostled just long enough to realize what it was they were pointing at, a 210 pound angry 6-foot-4-inch, Englishman. There is no sublime ruse to the way Barnes plays soccer. It's contact. It's wearing down the opponent like a boxer going to the body. He is physical. And if he gets angry, he might knock your block off. Opponents can expect that much. Is it his size or his style that attracts the referee's ire, and causes foes to recoil at the sight of him running their way? Barnes believes it's all about appearances. "I look more aggressive because of my size," he said in his rich English accent. "I kind of think that I get called for a lot of fouls that smaller guys don't get called for. "But I never get any fouls called (on opponents) because I'm so tall." Barnes is a business management major. So you could say he is all business on or off the pitch. And that is exactly why coach Brian Crookham recruited him. "On the field he is pretty competitive," Crookham said. "But off the field he's probably one of the quietest guys you will meet." Barnes might be the only Metro play-

er ever to have the opportunity to go pro before going to school. An England soccer club offered him a contract that would have paid him $300 a week. But he decided he might like to see America instead. In mid-August, Barnes packed up, boarded a jet and came west like so many before him. He likes what he has seen. "I like the laid back way of life," he said. "People are a lot more friendly and a lot more carefree than in England." Barnes has fond memories of his football games at home, though. He enjoys telling about the time when he played against a former representative of his country's national club. "I was marking that guy, and someone did a bad tackle on him," Barnes said. "He went over and tackled this kid. He tackled him bad. This kid jumped up and headbutted him straight away. "I was like 'Whoa, calm down a bit.' That was the most violence I've seen on the pitch. The guy just went over and headbutted someone. He got sent off." Some of his English friends came up with a nickname for Barnes. They started calling him Lurch, after the Adam's Family character, because of his size and soft spoken demeanor. Barnes keeps in touch with his parents

and friends through phone calls, but it's getting a little pricey. He also has two younger siblings, brother Gavin, 14, and sister Shellie, 16. Gavin appears to be following in his brothers footsteps. ''The telephone bill is getting a little bit big now," Barnes said. "It was like $400 for the month. They weren't very pleased. They were like, 'I think you need to write a bit more.' " Metro is suffering through a disappointing season despite the addition of Barnes and fellow countryman Richard Paylor. It is easily the worst team, recordwise, that Barnes has been a part of. "I like to succeed," he said. "I've always been successful. I'm just a little bit unhappy about losing all the time." He is willing to try anything to win, including changing up his game a bit. "When I get aggressive and when I knock somebody down and I showboat a little, it gives the other team something to fight for," Barnes said. So he might save what he gives to the crowd, and he might not be as quick to ragdoll the next player who kicks him in the shin. But Metro fans will have fun for the next three years listening for his growl to become a bark and waiting to see if his bark becomes a bite.

Final minutes haunting men's ·soccer ~Nick Gamer and Metropolitan

Kyle Ringo

All that is left now for the Metro men's soccer team are what-ifs, whatcould-have-beens, and plenty of time to talk about misfortune. Unless its luck changes - really changes. Metro lost 3-2 to Regis University on Oct. 3. It is not the Joss itself, but the way the Roadrunners Jost that stings. Regis won the game on an improbable shot from 35-yards out that just tipped off of the outstretched arm of Metro goalie Stephen Babby. The ball snuck into the upper-left corner of the net with 31 seconds remaining. Metro (5-8, 2-6) fell again Oct. 5 to the Colorado School of Mines 3-2 when it allowed another goal with under a minute left in the game. The goal tied the match at 2-2, but Mines quickly put an end to overtime with

the game-winner ·two minutes into the extra period. Finally, at the University of Denver Oct. 7, Metro lost its penchant for dramatics in a ho-hum 3-1 Joss to the Pioneers. It was the sixth straight loss for the Roadrunners, and one that might have nailed shut the door to the conference tournament. "We are tired, and mentally, we are struggling," coach Brian Crookham said. "We have been on a very long road trip all season long and it will be nice to see our home field on (Oct. 1O)." Metro has not played a home match this season because of the delays in the Auraria Fields project started last spring. Five of the the Roadrunners' eight losses have been by one goal. Crookham attributes it to bad luck. "At times this season, we have been very unlucky," Crookham said. "Every one of those losses has been because of

different (unlucky) reasons." Despite feeling snakebitten, the coach and the team know there is more to winning and losing than luck. "When DU scored the third goal, it was a major back-breaker." senior forward Adam Young said. "It basically deflated the comeback, and we just gave up. "We had a good attitude at the half. Even though it was 2-0, we felt that we could come back and make a game out of it. We are not coming to the games ready to play. I don't know if we are getting outworked." With the loss to DU, Metro holds a 26 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference record. The Roadrunners, twice ranked No. 23 nationally earlier this season, are looking for a way to put their season back together and make it to the conference tournament. Metro would have to win the final

four conference games to finish 6-6 in the RMAC, which Crookham believes could get the Roadrunners into the playoffs. Metro is trying to avoid a repeat of last season when it backed into the conference tournament because of other teams' misfortune more than its own performance. "It's getting very frustrating," Young said. "We just can not put things together in the games." Metro has four of its last five games at the new Auraria Fields. Crookham said he thinks his team will play better at home. Southern Colorado will be Metro's first opponent on its new field at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 10. The Metro Athletics department will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony before christening the fields, Sports Information Director Mark Cicero said. The men's team is far more concerned with the end of the game, though.

Break the attendance Women's soccer falls to 7-4, loses ranking night After a stellar start to a season billed as a possible championship run, the Metro women's soccer team has dropped out of the top-25 coaches poll. Metro Jost to Fort Lewis College and Mesa State College Oct. 3 and 5. Metro had been ranked as high as No. 5 in the poll earlier in the season,. The Roadrunners are now No. 4 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, and battling to remain alive for a conference tournament spot. Coach Ed Montojo said playing and practicing all season has taken its toll on the team. "We're anxiously awaiting the opening of our field (Oct. 10)," Montojo said.

Friday Oct. 10 at the Auraria Events Center at lp.m. The Mefro athletic department is challenging all Metro students to break the volleyball attendance record of 850, which was set three years ago with a similar promotion. In 1994, Metro ran its 622-night promotion, which ended in a success with the current record being set. Metro Athletics will hold special fan competitions for prizes during breaks in action. Metro will play rival Regis University. The Rangers are ranked No. 4 in the nation while the Roadrunners are No. 15.

An upcoming game with archrival Regis University hasn 't managed to derail the Metro volleyball team's focus. The Roadrunners lost a close match Oct. 3 to the University of NebraskaKeamey 3-0 in front of a customary large Nebraska crowd. The Lopers have traditionally been strong competition for any school, and although this season seems lo be a rebuilding year in Kearney, it didn't appear that way to Metro coach Joan McDermott. Kearl)ey is always a tough game, McDermott said. The Roadrunners usual tandem of Audra Littau and Michelle Edwards led the team in kills, and Laurie Anderson had a strong game with 40 assists. "We played pretty tight," McDermott said. "We never really loosened up until the third game, and then it was too late." Metro (I 4-5, 7-2) bettered last season's win total with its fourteenth victory of the season at Fort Hays State one day after losing to Kearney. The Roadrunners handled the Tigers easily in three games ( 15-5, 15-7, 15-6). "It was nice to be able to bounce back

like that," McDermott said. No single player stood out statistically in the game with Fort Hays. Shannon Ortell and Kelly Young combined with Littou and Edwards to account for all but 9 kills. Results from the Oct. 9 match with Chadron State were not available at p(ess time. Despite having to face other competition, the Roadrunners' attention has been focused on the Regis game for several weeks. "They return all their starters," McDermott said. "They play like they are ranked fourth." McDermott thinks the key to an upset for Metro will be its serving and intensity, which she hopes will be helped if a lot of students come to the game. The Metro athletics department is promoting the game by handing out tickets al Auraria in a bid to break a 3-year-old attendance record. The Roadrunners hope to attract more than 850 spectators, which became the new record after the 622-night promotion in 1994.. "It would be nice to have a homecourt advantage," McDermott said. What she is really hoping for is a win.
