SGA goal

influence

Student leaders want bigger role in Metro's administrative decisions By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

A handmade poster on the wall of Metro's Student Government Assembly office illustrates an action plan for the group of 12 student representatives. The poster's bright colors help outline a list of 23 goals that the student government has - and hasn't - accomplished since the members were elected in April. Well-defined goals are especially important since the group is becoming increasingly insistent on its "right" to influence college policy, SGA members said. The members believe they should have as much influence at Metro as administrators do_ and cite their status as the college's "customers" to back up

the demand. Much of the student government's agenda was set at a retreat with Metro administrators in May. Five months later, the SGA has accomplished goals on and off its list. The members attribute some of their success to working longer hours, The representatives voted in August to triple their work schedules to 15 hours per week and increase their monthly stipend from $200 to $500. Almost 80 percent of the annual budget ($90,385) is earmarked for the members' monthly stipends.

The first goal on the list is to "reach" students who attend classes in the evenings or on weekends. Student government President Karmin Trujillo said

.....

this was accomplished last month when a student club outlined six requests for services for students with disabilities. Metro President Sheila Kaplan promptly promised to grant the requests, which included revising Metro's disability handbook and appointing a committee to assess the needs of students with disabilities. Teresa Harper, vice president of Diversity, played a major role in the push to get the administration lo answer the club's concerns, Trujillo said.

this goal was accomplished by extending SGA office hours to evenings and weekends, but the work isn't done yet. "We need to do a little bit more outreach 9n meeting the needs of our extended campuses," she said, adding that the SGA has accomplished plenty on campus.

[LJ The SGA has transformed its role from an extracurricular activity to a part-time job, Trujillo said. This meant reworking the payment scheme. Members insist it is a "pay adjustment with an increase in hours," not strictly a pay raise.

Student fee increases for Metro programs possible Administrator says student vote not required B~ Perry Swamon Ti Metropolitan

FOR SALE: Aurarla administrators say they favor building a new office building on campus Instead of buying the TerraCentre.

Planners weigh Auraria office building options By Rob Larimer The Metropolitan

../

'·

Auraria is debating options to buy the TerraCentre or build a new facility in its quest for more office space. Dean Wolf, Auraria's executive vice president of Administration, said Burcher Associates Realty, the company that is marketing the building, said the college could buy the building, which is on the comer of Stout Street and Speer Boulevard, for $4.5 million. Auraria would then need an additional $2.4 million for renovations, Wolf said. Money for purchasing the building would be raised with a bond issue, which could mean an increase in student bond fees . But Wolf said he favors building a new facility over buying one because it would create more office space even though it's more expensive. Joe Arcese, Metro's vice president of Administration and Finance, said the operating cost of a new facility would be $14.63 per square foot while the TerraCentre costs only $12.55 per square foot. He added that a new facility would take 30 years to pay for. But according to Wolf's calculations, the TerraCentre's structure wastes too much space and isn' t energy efficient. The building was constructed in 1982 at the end of the oil boom, and much of the building's

space is taken up by a large ornamental atrium in the building's center. The TerraCentre provides a total of 121,000 gross square feet, but only 79 percent of the total space (95,797 square feet) can be used. Wolf said usable square footage usually falls between 87 and 94 percent of the total square footage. A new facility on campus would offer 90 percent efficiency and 130,000 square feet for usage, Wolf said. Construction of that building might start this spring in parking Lot E at the west end of Lawrence Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. Building in this area would eliminate about 160 parking spaces. But Wolf said these spaces could be replaced by developing land west of Fifth Street into a new parking facility with over 800 parking spaces. - Metro President Sheila Kaplan is rooting for the new building. The college houses several administrative offices in the TerraCentre in<'.luding Personnel, Administration and Finance, Institutional Advancement, Information Technology and College Communications. Kaplan said she took plenty of heat from people in TerraCentre over the summer because the its air conditioning unit broke down. Kaplan said she doesn't want Metro to continue paying for the building's high level of maintenance. "That building is a risk," she said. "It's a lot more reasonable to build a new building."

Three student fees are on the table for a possible increase next fall. Administrators for Metro Athletics, the Student Life and the Student Health Center are all considering fee increases. Students might get to vote on the issue, but Yolanda OrtegaEricksen, the dean of Student Life, said a student vote is not required. The student · government would have to recommend an increase to the college's Board of Trustees for approval. The student government could let students vote on the issue, or it could approve the increase without a vote, OrtegaEricksen said. Department officials wouldn't comment on how much the increase would be or

how the money would be spent because they are still working out the details. "At this juncture I've been advised not to give out information on that," said Steve Monaco, the Student Health Center's director. "We're in the process right now, and we will know in the next couple of months the direction that we'll be going on this." Jessie Bullock, SGA's vice president of Student Fees, said she would like to see the issue decided by a student vote. Bullock also said she's withholding judgments about whether the departments rieed an increase until they announce exactly how they will use the money. Metro students taking 8 credit hours or more shell out $36.25 for the Student Activity Fee, $18 for Athletics, and $13.75 for the health center.

Ortega-Ericksen said the Student Activity fee hasn't been raised in five years and her departments, which include Student Legal Services, Campus Recreation and the Student Finance Resource Center, are starting to feel the strain. William Helman, the Athletics director, said his program hasn' t received an increase in four years. Rising costs have forced the athletics program to resort to bingo games and food sales at games to make up for the shortfall, he said. A policy about student fees from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education says that state institutions must give at least 30 days notice before raising fees. It also says colleges should involve "student participation in setting student fees."

The Metropolitan

Departments react to war on nickname J

By Perry Swanson Metro's Student Government Assembly might . be making some headway in the fight against Metro's nickname. Chuck Bennett, SGA's representative to the Board of Trustees, said he's heard cheers for the most recent tactic to obliterate "The Met" from Metro. Students and staff from several of the college's departments have telephoned or sent e-mails supporting a resolutiof.l that demands all programs funded by student fe_es to cease using the nickname, Bennett said. Since the resolution passed Sept. 29, Bennett said staff in a few departments, including Student Activities, stopped using the nickname when answering the phone.

•

Patricia Yarrow, an administrative assistant in the Human Services department, showed her support in a Sept. 30 e-mail to the student government. "I agree with you and support your opposition to 'The Met,"' Yarrow said. "This department does not use 'The Met' when answering the phone or making calls. We use either MSCD or Metro Human Services." Chuck Bennett Some, however, feel torn because the administration is telling them to use the nickname while student government says not to, Bennett said. After the resolution passed, Bennett said two employ-

ees of programs funded by student fees called him to make sure their budgets wouldn't be threatened if they continued to use the nickname. "We're not going to penalize any department just because they're being forced to do something," Bennett said. Eventually, the student government will submit a second resolution to Metro President Sheila Kaplan to demand that the rest of the college stops using the nickname. Kaplan has said that's not an option. Student government members have gathered almost 2,000 signatures on a petition to abolish the nickname. Some also wear buttons and pass out fliers opposing the nickname. The administration's stance on the issue is that people don't have to use "The Met."

Discrepancies get Metro vandalism case tossed out of court By Bill Keran The Metropolitan

The court case against a Metro student who was accused of vandalizing school property in early May was dismissed Oct. 14 from Denver Municipal Court. If Gary Norris would have been convicted, he could have faced a maximum penalty of a $450 fine and 30 days in jail.

The charges stem from fliers that were glued to the walls in the West Classroom near the Political Science office. Norris said that he made and distributed the fliers, but denied sticking them to any walls. The case was dropped because of discrepancies between the times of the incident in police reports and the testimony of the only witness, said Norris, who was arrested May 6.

Kenneth Keller, chairman of Metro's Anthropology and Behavioral Science department, was the only witness for the college. "(Auraria's) witness said he saw me making pushing motions on a flier while I was writing on it," Norris said. "How they got from one flier I wrote on to vandalizing the entire campus is an interesting question." Norris said he was writing "antiSociol~gy,

administration stuff, anti-Kaplan stuff'' on· the fliers. He made them because he "wanted to get (Metro President Sheila) Kaplan more involved with the student body." "We have an administration that really doesn't confer with the students when doing things," he said. Even after the case was dismissed, Norris said he was still upset with the campus that the case had gone so far.

The usually sterile white walls and hallways of the Student Health Center got a shot of color Oct. 15 when tie-dyed banners and multi-hued beads were hung to celebrate the center's 30th birthday. Students packed the center to fill up on free food and ice cream and jam to the groovy sounds emanating from a jukebox temporarily

stationed for the celebration. Employees of the office donned pins that showed how they looked 30 years ago. Steve Monanco, the director of the center, said it will spend the next seven months offering free goods and services ranging from HIV screenings to first aid kits . Monaco said the freebees are to show appreciation for the students who have used the center for the past three decades.

Track designed for one class By Meghan Hughes The Metropolitan

After looking at Auraria's improved athletic fields, some might be surprised to learn that construction on the running track is finished. The only thing is the track only runs a quarter of the way around the field. Mark Cicero, sports information director at Metro, said a committee for the fields decided in May a full track was not necessary because Metro doesn' t have a track team. Coaches and staff from Metro's 10 varsity teams were also in on the decision. Still, some Metro students, such as sophomore Jason Woolridge, wonder why

Community College of Denver By Perry Swamon The Metropolitan

The student newspaper for the Community College of Denver is back in business after going defunct last spring. The first edition of The Community News for this academic year will come out Oct. 20, said the paper's new editor,

Dennis Archuletta. The paper will publish on the first and third Monday of each month when classes are in session. Archuletta said the paper will infonn readers on how the college spends their student fees and also report on CCD's student government. "If (CCD Student

we don't need a full sized track, but we have the space to put one in if we find we need one in the future." The $1.5 million renovation pr-0ject, which began in June, is expected to be completed by January 1998, according to architect and project manager Kathy McNally. The date was pushed back from the fall 1997 because poor weather delayed construction. The delays forced the men 's and women 's soccer teams to play the majority of their games on the road. The southern part of the fields was ready in time for an Oct. 10 men's soccer match. The baseball field is still under construction .

The poem described in gruesome detail the disembowelment of a romantic companion. "That poem killed our character," said Dennis Archuletta, who was not on the staff when the paper printed the poem. "It killed advertisements, money, support, everything."

Auraria bothered building a track at all. "What was the point of putting in a quarter of a track when they weren't going to take it all the way around?" Woolridge said. Dick Feuerborn, Auraria's director of Facilities and Planning and Use, said the administration decided against a full track to allow extra space for the soccer fields and basebal~ diamond, which are used more frequently. "The Human Sports and Leisure Department teaches a class on running and jumping hurdles, so we made a staggered start curve to especially accommodate those students," Feuerborn said. "For now

World Hunger Day teaches compassion for homelessness

AURARIA HIGHER EDUCATION CENTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF DENVER

By Amber Davis The Metropolitan

THE METROPOLITAN STATE COLLEGE OF DENVER World Hunger Day, internationally recognized Oct. 16, is the beginning of a fall campaign against hunger and homelessness. Students at Metro and across the nation will participate in activities to learn about these social problems. Julie Miles, executive director of the National Student Campaign against Hunger and Homelessness, said World Hunger Day is sponsored by the United Nations. More than 400 colleges and some high schools sponsor activities such as sleepouts, fasts, and letter writing drives to members of Congress. Auraria's chaptei of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group will sponsor a canned food drive and a sleepout on campus. Students will construct a "shantytown" of cardboard boxes for the sleepout and camp out over night. Dates for these events were not available at press time. CoPIRG's Anne Lassegilrd, a Metro senior and head of Auraria's hunger and homelessness campaign, will also attend ·the World Hunger Day conference Oct. 23 in Washington D.C.

Teleconference Legal Insights: Docu1nentation & Adn1issions This teleconference will highlight eligibility, admissions and re:-admissions, documentation of disabilities, and record-keeping. This interactive teleconference will include an overview of legislation and litigation for institutions of higher education; undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools. Hot topics will include dual diagnosis, NCAA sports eligibility and current case law. For faculty, staff and students. Box Lunches will be served. There will be a panel discussion immediately following the teleconference from 2:00-2:30 p.m. Panel members will be from the staff/students of CCD, THE MET, UCD, and AHEC.

Ralph Nader, who founded an adyocacy group for environmental and social issues in 1971 called Public Citizen and a community activists' group in 1982 called Essential Information, will be one of the keynote speakers. One of the featured activities, called the Hunger Banquet, will illustrate how different classes of people eat. Students at Auraria held a similar banquet called the World Reality Luncheon on Oct. 15. Before the banquet, every guest gets a ticket indicating whether they are upper, middle or lower class. Guests are then served a meal according to their class. Meals range from prime rib for the upper class, served by waiters, to self-serve rice bowls for the lower class. Over the course of the meal, the master of ceremonies announces catastrophes such as a drought, national disaster or war, which can cause changes in people's socioeconomic class. The participants can move up or down in class throughout the banquet, depending on the circumstances. "Even if people are not active participants, we want to raise awareness and hopefully, all the programs we have set up will do that," Miles said.

The deadline for response to attend is October 24, 1997.

Robbins said the fact that his parents have been able to change is evidence of something Gandhi called "truth-force." He said that his father used to epitomize the American capitalistic system. "My dad was a close friend of Nixon. He and his contemporaries thought that the environment was for them to exploit that cows were for ice cream. Now he is receptive to the notion that animals are our fellow beings and ought to be respected." Doing the research for Diet for a New America , Robbins had to think up ways to persuade the owners of factory farms and slaughterhouses to let him visit their businesses. He tried to be as vague as possible, saying that he was working on an agricultural piece. Robbins said his visits to huge factory farms - where millions of chickens, pigs and veal

calves live out their entire lives indoors in miserable conditions was very draining emotionally, but imagine how much worse it is for the animals. He said it probably would be impossible for him to do research about factory farming now since his book has been so successful. Robbins doesn't quite know why, with all the recent talk about E. coli and mad-cow disease, there hasn't been more mention of vegetarianism. "It's such an obvious solution," he said. He said an outbreak of madcow disease is inevitable in this country, and will be worse here than it was in England. . Robbins is never judgmental of people's eating habits. People who get defensive just prove they don't have senses of humor, he said. And yet he asks, "Why do we call some animals pets and love them, and other animals we call dinner?" It's been a while since Robbins lived the life of privilege and luxury, and yet, he still has questions.

Miles= God? Metro music profs give 'unbelievable' jazz performance ~Dave Flomberg Metropo/iiQii

Creative Music Works Orchestra Houston Fine Arts Center

Lamont School of Music Oct.13 As the lights dimmed and the music began, I noticed Ron Miles was nowhere to be seen. ''Where is he?" my girlfriend asked. "Maybe they'll just lower him from the stage ceiling for his solos," I answered. "He's not God, honey," she chided me. Well ... Just the same, Metro has no Idea just how blessed it is. This was illustrated Oct. 13 when the Creative Music Works Orchestra perfonned the music of legendary jazz composer Gil Evans, featuring the trumpet stylings Qf Ron Miies our own Ron Miles. Directed by Metro professor Fred Hess, the big band was a collection of heavy hitters, each great musicians in their own right. The lead trumpet parts were handled by Metro Professor Walter Barr, Metro Professor Clare Church covered the low reeds, Metro Professor Jim Gray lead the trombones, and Metro student Artie Moore played the bass. That's six of the greatest jazz musicians around, all of them ~haring their skills with the students and faculty at Metro. And that's about the greatest gift this school has to offer. The music began with Evans' "La Nevada Blues," then swung through Clifford Brown's "Joy Spring," which featured a very Satchmo-reminiscent solo by local jazz trumpeter Hugh Ragin. Trumpet solos abounded in the next tune as Shane Endsley traded fours on Thelonius Monk's "Straight No Chaser" with Barr

and Ragin. Endsley's modal innovation was complemented well by Barr's high end and Ragin 's wistful melodies. Moore opened the chart with a bass solo that would have made Ron Carter sit up and take notice, and Church's mellow baritone sax solo was smooth and sweet. But the highlight of the show - the reason for attending was the opportunity to hear Miles' take on 1t'files. Davis, that is. Ron Miles has earned an international reputation as an innovative trumpeter and composer. His improvisational abilities seem almost unmatched in today's jazz realm, and he drove this point home at the perfonnance. As the changes to "Miles Ahead" and "Blues for Pablo" roJJed on, Ron weaved solos with definitive ~haracter around and through them. At times Davis' ideas sneaked through. Other times, it was all Miles, as he commanded the chart with military authority and Da Vinci creativity. As the standing-room-only crowd listened, the University of Denver's Houston Fine Arts Center hosted an unbelievable perfonnance of Davisian proportions. Hess' style of directing left much to the musicians on the stage, not only as far as solos, but phrasing and dynamics as well, which was a good choice. "We've only had two rehearsals," said Endsley, who recently graduated from Eastman. "But there's a lot of talent up there, so we should be all right." Two rehearsals. In two rehearsals, Hess, who also plays sax; brought together more than 20 musicians . Attacks and falls were together, dynamics accented perfectly, and harmonic structure was flawless. Miles and the orchestra received a thunderous standing ovation. Hess offered up the Evans chart "Gone" for an encore, which was the highlight of the evening, as it not only featured Miles on his Monette trumpet, but Paul Romaine's traps stylings as well. Romaine plays very melodically in his improvisations, which is not common for drummers to do. And even less common for them to do as well as he does. A nice addition to the big band was two French hornists, both legit players with a flair for color. Ron Torp and Stuart Mock helped fill out an orchestral sound on most of the tunes. A deity? Maybe not. But if they ever start canonizing musicians, Miles will be the first on my list.

Denver's Apples in Stereo: so happy they hurt t

Bl B. Erin Cole 71 Metropolitan Apples In Stereo Olivia Tremor Control The Music Tapes Bluebird Theater

Oct.11 The Apples in Stereo are the Happiest Band in Denver. In a local scene at times dominated by growly punkers and unfortunate pseudo-Dead jammin' bands, its enthusiasm is refreshing. Apples records, such as 1995's Fun Trick Noisemaker (spinART) are pretty damn chirpy. Lots of smoking up and listening to the Beach Boys has served the band well, and its songs are full of perfect melodies, sleepy harmonies and unabashed fun. The energy evident on the band's albums translates well into their terrific

live shows. Their Oct. 11 show at the Bluebird was no exception. Touring to support their just-released Tone Soul Evolution (spinART), The Apples sped through about 35 minutes of mostly new songs. The set began with some of their shorter material, which progressed to longer songs as the evening went on. They kept up a steady pace throughout the show, coasting from song to song easily, witli a minimum of banter. Except for the lack of an encore, the perfonnance was great. One of the best aspects of the show was the audience reaction. You can't not have some physical reaction to their shows, whether it be dancing, fidgeting or even bobbing your head in appreciation. So by the end of the night, even the most jaded cardigan-clad hipsters in attendance had become bouncin' fools. The audience was more subdued for the first part of the show - their Joss. The other great band playing was the Athens,

Ga.-based Olivia Tremor Control, one of The Apples' Elephant Six compatriot bands (Elephant Six is a loosely associated group of bands, all of which play on each other's records. The other major band involved wilh the collective is Neutral Milk Hotel, whose album On Avery Island (Merge) was one of last year's best surprises). The Olivia Tremor

m..as:i.c

Control perfonn its weird, psychedelic music by making sound through any means necessary. The seven band members changed from instrument to instrument throughout their set, using lots of non-traditional noisemakers including a hand saw, an autoharp and a reel-to-reel tape

recorder. Usually, the more instruments a band uses, the more potential there is for it to suck This wasn't the case here. Their perfonnance consisted of many songs off their recent album Dusk At Cubist Castle (Flydaddy). It was like watching a bunch of friends mess around with sound in someone's living room. It was refreshingly intimate, and the band members all seemed to be having a great time on stage. Denver's The Minders were originally scheduled to open, but didn't. Opening instead were The. Music Tapes, which ended up being some of the members of the Olivia Tremor Control plus some random local folks. The Music Tapes com.bined prerecorded sound collages with bizarre folk songs. The effect was interesting but a bit disturbing. Genuine enthusiasm is hard to come by in the ironic, hipper-than-thou 90s. It's great to see bands, especially very good ones, that are excited about what they do.

he Colorado Ballet's new production of Romeo and Juliet manages to uplift and inspire without being too inaccessible to inexperienced ballet-goers. However, that feeling wasn't shared by everyone at the opening night performance. There was controversy before the show concerning the Colorado Ballet's decision to use a recorded version of the show's fabulous Sergei Prokofiev score, instead of having a live orchestra. Many ballet aficionados complained, including members of local orchestral unions. While the cost of using an orchestra is high, the argument goes that an intimate connection is formed between the dancers and the musicians, which creates almost a different show every night. With a recording, the production loses a lot of personality and chances for growth. But the production did fine without it. The dancers should be the most integral part of a ballet, and did they

Details make difference in 'Boogie' By Tracy Rhines

Sex, drugs, and disco are the elements that drive the characters in Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, Boogie Nights . This movie tells the story of a young man named Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg) with a dysfunctional family life and a dream to be somebody. These dreams take shape when he is introduced to Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) and Amber Waves (Julianne Moore), an infamous porn director and his star/girlfriend, who take him under their wing. Young Eddie starts out as only one of the members of their makeshift pornography family but becomes the star attraction. Stardom is hard to handle for the impressionable Eddie, who has changed his name to Dirk Diggler, and started using drugs. Then the downward spiral begins as Dirk/Eddie begins to lose everything. Boogie Nights takes on the large task of bringing Los Angeles, circa 1977 to 1984, to life on the screen. The attention to detail paid to the music, clothes, and even the stiff acting in the porno movie scenes, show the director really put his heart into the movie. Paul Thomas Anderson wrote and directed Boogie Nights, his sophomore feature, and delivers a film with an incredible ensemble cast, including Heather Graham, Nicole Ari Parker, John C. Reilly, the late Robert Ridgley, and Academy Award nominee William H. Macy. The performances were great along with the music and storyline, but Boogie Nights boogied just a bit too long at 2 hours and 30 minutes, especially near the end.

Blame for the entire baby Tshirts trend can probably be traced back to Calvin Johnson.

He and his then-band Beat Happening made a bunch of great records celebrating unusual (for rock music, at least) subjects such as picnics, silly crushes and having a favorite sweater. Now, Johnson runs his Records label and Dub Narcotic, a one-man musical concept combining elements of reggae, rock and electronic music into a very strange brew. For this tour, he's actually performing with a full band. Go, even if only to hear Johnson speak in his disturbingly low voice. $5.

Fliers pose no threat qe . . . . .Utan Editorial News: Someone fs posting fliers claiming racism " on campus.

Views: The anonymous fliers · · are vague and hannless.

The Metropolitan reported Oct. l 0 that fliers appeared on various bulletin boards around campus, namely in the African American Studies department. The fliers accuse AAS of teaching racism. Police were called, and though they said there is nothing illegal about posting fliers, some in the AAS department felt harassed. Additionally, a student group on campus took out a half-page ad in this paper, denouncing the fliers and vowing to expose the fliers'

author. One flier in particular uses the misnomer "reverse discrimination" as its punchline. Well, "reverse discrimination" is something we should strive for. Further examination - "Metroplitan (sic) State Campus" is cited as the location of the racism proves the author can't spell. It's time to look at the fliers for what they are. There are no examples of the "racism" in the fliers, only accusations. The fliers pose questions without answering them.

Future looks, well, similar Let us take a few moments to gaze in the special Lowdown Crystal Ball. Concentrate, and you can see the future: The Metropolitan OnUne. October 20, 2012 News Section Metro school officials said today that the college will no longer use the moniker "The The Lowdown Met" when referring to the school. "It makes us sound like a second-rate college," one school official said. 1be new guidelines handed down by the college president urged all departments and promotions asso. ciatcd with the school to u5e the more "dignified" full name, Metropolitan State College of Denver. "People can still use 'The Met' if they want," the school official said. "I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal of it."

Features Section

Conclusion: The fliers and the message within are the harmless rantings of a bitter individual or group. That's not to say that bringing perceived racism to the attention of students and faculty would be a bad idea if there were grounds for the charges. If someone feels racist ideas are being taught on campus, the last thing anyone should want is for that individual to be silenced. If we turn our backs on racism, we are no better than those who practice it. But this instance obviously does not qualify. Feel free to tum your collective backs on the message in these fliers. C.J. White, chairman of AAS, reacted as any man secure in his beliefs and confident of his department's curriculum would react - stoically. He said the fliers are the work of a "loose cannon" that posed no real threat to him or the department. And while there is nothing wrong with reacting to serious charges of racism, as some in the department and on campus have, there is no reason for alarm in this case. While spouting dangerous allegations whimsically can not be condoned, we cannot fear the allegations. The cowardly shield of anonymity and the impotent words of an author severely lacking IQ points is hardly a threat to anyone.

More and more college graduates are returning to school to get a second degree. One such person: former Metro student and journalism grad Travis Henry just started-work on his second one. This timt ~ is concentrating on. Human Development. "I just couldn't take it anymore.." Henry said. ''All the hate mail really gets to you. All I ever really wanted was to be loved." Student Publications Director Kyle Ringo says that Henry bas a job waiting for him at The Metropolitan Online if he promises to be "kinder and gentler." Letter ..... ~ Editor,

Travis He•ry's guest editorial wtu horrible. How

can he compare rocket moon trips to international airline flights? Saying that the standards should be the same just shows what a truly evil, sadistic man he is. Mr. Henry, do you see the big picture now? If the standards should be the same, what about the standards for bike riders? Shouldn't they have licenses too, huh? And what about skaters? ·oh, yeah. I forgot. You don't care about skaters or bike riders. It's people like you that got "The Met" changed back to Metropolitan State College of Denver. I lwpe you are happy. Signed, You know who you are

Sports Barry Fey announced today that he is quitting his job as promoter for the Denver Nuggets to head up a new sports promotion team at Metro. "The Nuggets just suck," Fey said. "I am getting too old for this crap. I am going to Metro, and we are going to kick a*@!" Fey said that the Roadrunners already consistently outsell the Nuggets and with new promotions such as "free legal marijuana" night, Metro should eventualfy have a sports program competing with CSU and Air Force. ..I won't let what happened to CU happen to Metro, dammit," Fey promised. -·:He.:was. of course, referring to the demolition of Bou(~d the CU campus for a super-arena serving the Colorado area.

Not enough time to prepare for death of a friend

"I can't die, Judy. I just can 't die." Pam Hitchcock spoke these words to my mother as she lay in a hospice, fighting the cancer that had taken hold of her body and would not let go. She lost the fight Oct. 14 at the age of 46. Dave Flomberg My mother phoned me at 9:30 a.m. to tell me. "We got the call," Jive was all she needed to say. I knew what "the call" was. Pam had been close to death for days. But I still wasn't ready to hear it. Pam had been a family friend for many years. Her son, Paul, is just a few years younger than me and is a member of the explorer post my parents advise. She and my father had been friends since he attended and later taught here. It was always comforting to know that when I got caught up in Metro's bureaucracy, I had a friend who could help clear away some of the red tape. She always helped me, and anyone I sent her direction, the best way she could. In April, Pam was at our house for Passover seder. She seemed perfectly healthy and happy. and enjoyed teasing my father and helping my mother in the kitchert. She was a radiant redhead with a bright smile and quiet demeanor, and shared many holidays and special occasions with us. And now she is gone. I had a friend in high school that fought cancer for years before she died. Once she knew she was living on borrowed time, she took small joys preparing her own memorial. It gave her something to focus on. Her family and friends had time to prepare themselves for her passing even though watching her die a little more each day was so painful. . Another high school friend died one night after suffering a brain aneurysm. It was so quick and shocking that the school reeled from it, everyone feeling the impact. Yet we were spared the pain of watching a slow death. Now it's different. Now we got enough time to watch but not enough time to prepare. I went to visit Pam just two weeks ago. She had aged 80 years since the last time I had seen her a couple of months before. She laid in bed as my father and I caught her up on Metro and my mother fed her. My heart absolutely broke. She refused to accept what was happening to her, saying death just wasn't an option. "My SOD still needs me." When talking with people who knew Pam, one of the most common points of discussion is how quickly the cancer spread. Five months may seem a long time, but for cancer it's a speeding bullet. The usual barrage of questions, both ethereal and theological. surround her passing. But seeking an answer is academic. The truth is there aren't any. All we can do is mourn our loss and move on. Bur there's one thing I know as I sit· here looking al her picture and typing this column. I'm going to miss the .hell -out of that smile.

Racism label doesn't equal harassment Editor, With regard to last week's article under the headline "Fliers accuse department of racism," I found it amusing to read that Cathy Buc.hanan ·~alerted the police after she discovered a cluster of (the) fliers posted on a display in the African American Reading Resource Room." Ms. Buchanan seems to be of the erroneous opinion that to be labeled a

"racist" somehow constitutes "harassment." Rather than formally reply to the allegations of reverse racism in a rational manner, it appeared that the "Students for Social and Economic Justice" decided to buy advertising in The Metropolitan in order to commit a crime, according to Ms. Buchanan's definition. The ad vehemently attacks the fliers , calling them "overtly

racist." This is a perfect example of the sophistry inherent in the pseudo-ethos of "Multiculturalism," which declares one viewpoint to be "correct," and any other to be "criminal." God help us.

You, Mr. Henry, are part of problem Travis Henry, Metro students understand that the purpose of your column is to create controversy. If your column generates enough anger for students to write letters to the editor, then your task has been accomplished,, and your pay, according to the standards set by The Metropolitan, has been earned. But at what price? We would ask you, Mr. Henry, to continue to generate controversy by asking tough questions. Does the Student Government Assembly have the right to speak for all 17,000+ students when only 1,000 of them voted in the last election? Few students attend campus functions and open forums. We advertised our Judicial Board and SACAB vacancies and received few responses. Why the intense apathy among many Metro sru-

dents, Mr. Henry? Check the tone of your column. You're part of the problem. The SGA is not inclined to underestimate the student body at Metro - we believe those who signed the petition knew its contents - nor are we elitists. We are servants. Metro students are astute and hard-working, and the SGA looks to them for guidance. If we were elitists, would we pound the pavement with petitions? Our doors are wide open, and any student who comes through them knows that our sole concern is the welfare of the student body. You need not see the world through rose-colored glasses in order to create meaningful and constructive controversy. Strive to motivate, not anger students through your analyses, Mr. Henry. Don't take the easy way out. Step outside and above the base motives that breed apathy.

You have more influence and thus more responsibility than you may realize or care to accept. The SGA cares about issues that impa~t the student body and the college. Our assumption is that as a columnist for the school newspaper, and a Metro student, you care as well. The SGA looks forward to meeting and working with any student, including you, Mr. Henry. We're a nice bunch of motivated and passionate students. Stop by anytime.

.Guide dogs nicer than humans Editor, Since when are guide dogs not welcome on campus? Don't those idiots who have been tormenting Lee Zuberer and Hamlet realize that Hamlet is actually an extension of Lee herself? I wonder how many of Lee's tormentors could find their way around campus, downtown, or anywhere else ~ithout help if they couldn't see. Guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, and companion dogs for people in wheelchairs are NOT pets. They have a job to do, and they do it well. I had a friend whose companion-n dog helped her with laundry, dishwashing, and even grocery shopping. He had also saved her life on one occasion. As an usher at the performing arts complex, I often see such dogs come in

with their owners. They are quiet and well behaved - sometimes better behaved than some human patrons who whisper and chatter to their companions during a performance. We once had a training session for ushers on dealing with disabled patrons. We were blindfolded, had our ears blocked so that we could not hear, and put in wheelchairs and told to get ourselves into and out of restrooms. Most of us had trouble just getting a restroom door open, let alone getting through it. I recommend such an exercise in walking in another person's shoes to anyone who wants to know what it's like lo be blind, deaf, or possibly paralyzed. We have a theater group in Denver called PHAMALy (Physically Handicapped Amateur Musical Actors League), all of whose members are blind,

confined to ·wheelchairs,- or handicapped in some other way. They dance, sing, and in all ways perform as well as any actors in a Broadway play. After my first exposure to this group, I decided "disabled" is a misnomer. Some people are "less abled" than others, but there is no such thing as a . "disabled" person. I hope the people who have been tormenting Lee and Hamlet will consider, the next time they see them, how lucky they are not to be in Lee's position. Instead of hassling her, they should get acquainted with her. She and Hamlet might be able to teach them a thing or two about how to get along in the world.

Metro smashes Regis Three-game sweep nets Roadrunners No. 12 By Chris A. Petersen The Metropolitan

'·

Jenny Sparks/The Metropolitan

SQUARING OFF: Metro sophomore Shannon Ortell tries to protect herself Oct. 10 from a blocked ball In a 3-0 Roadrunner victory over No. 4-ranked Regis.

For the second time this season the Metro women's volleyball team faced the No. 4 ranked team in the nation, and for the second time this season, it emerged victorious. The first time Metro had to battle to a fifth game win over then No. 4 Augustana. This time, against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference powerhouse and cross-town rival Regis, the Roadrunners made it look easy. Metro set, spiked and slammed its way to a three game sweep of the Rangers, handing them their first conference loss of the year and only their second loss of the season. "That was a big, . big win for the team," said Metro coach Joan McDermott. "It was great for our confidence." Metro wasted no time establishing dominance on its home court. The Roadrunners quickly rallied to a five point lead, which it maintained throughout Game 1. Regis coach Frank Lavrisha was forced to take a timeout early as he tried to slow Metro's momentum. However, the timeout proved only momentarily effective as Metro continued to roll, capturing the first game 15-9. Audra Littou and Michelle Edwards, whose total kills would make a mob hitman envious, once again

led Metro's attack. Game 2 surged with intensity as Metro was cheered on by a raucous crowd, which helped the Roadrunners to an 11-2 lead as a bewildered Regis team scrambled to recover. A late game effort boosted the Rangers to within five, but it was too little, too late as the Roadrunners won 15-7. In Game 3, it was Metro playing catch-up as Regis took a six-point lead 11-5. But where the Rangers had previously failed, the Roadrunners flourished. Spurred by the cheers of the season-high crowd of 469, Metro tallied five-straight points to tie the game 11-11. The crowd even managed a wave to show its support. Metro's play proved too much for Regis and the Roadrunners claimed the match 3-0 with a 15-13 win in Game 3. Still riding high from the Regis victory, the Roadrunners earned another three-game sweep Oct. 15 over conference opponent Colorado School of Mines. Metro was never really challenged by Mines, taking less than an hour to dispatch the Orediggers. The win marks the eighth sweep in the past nine matches for the Roadrunners and gave them 13 total for the year. see VOLLEYBALL on 20

USC crashes Roadrunners' homecoming Men's soccer loses 7th-straight in home-opener oh $1.5 million field B~ Michael BeDan Ti Metropolitan .

•

The seven-figure Auraria Fields renovation project did little to soften the thud of a crash reaching Wall Street proportions. And to the men involved in the soccer market at Metro, any broker with a pulse would scream "sell" as the Roadrunners appear to be headed for deep recession. Metro dropped a 2-1 decision Oct. 10 in its home opener at Auraria Fields as the University of Southern Colorado brushed aside a 1-0 halftime deficit to spoil what could have been a new beginning. Instead, the Roadrunners suffered their seventh straight loss and fell to an abysmal 2-7 record in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, 5-9 overall. And though the new fields provide a plush carpet of natural grass and a new direction - north/south as opposed to the old field that ran east/west - 13 road games to open the season have taken a toll on the Roadrunners. "We'll keep playing everyday and will not quit," Metro coach Brian Crookham said. "We find amazing ways to lose, but we.will.C\Ol quit." •.

Metro held a ribbon-cutting ceremony before the game to present the new field to the Roadrunners and the gratuitous estimate of 123 fans. It didn't take long for the Roadrunners to make themselves at home . Todd Padgett christened the field with a header at 23:32 to give the Roadrunners an early lead, but the second half featured an attacking Thunderwolves offense that outshot Metro 9-5 and outscored it 2-0. Ryan Billiet scored unassisted at 57:00 for USC (5-7-1, 3-4-1) and Tony Decares scored on a pass from Jake Book to close the book on Metro at 65:41. Padgett said it's becoming routine to see games slip away. "We are flat and complacent and seem to be happy with a lead,'' Padgett said. "We come out and let it all go." In Metro's defense, there have been some truly amazing finishes to games the Roadrunners had controlled right up to the point of losing. Two times Metro has been victimized in the final minute of games - once to force overtime and once to eliminate the need for overtime - both of which ended in losses. Needi.ng tu win. all i!s. .remairuog. ,

Michael BeDan/The Metropolitan

COMING HOME: Metro freshman Todd Padgett follows his header toward the USC net Oct. 10 In the Roadrunners long-delayed home-opener. Padgett's score was the first-ever on the new Aurarla Field and gave Metro a 1-0 lead. RMAC games to make the playoffs, Metro virtually eliminated itself from a shot at the RMAC tournament with the loss. With three of its last four games at home, the best the Roadrunners can do is merely rediscover the confident play that allowed the team to crack the Top-25 Division II ranking polls at No. 23 earlier

in the season. "We are at a point that we are unsure that we're going to win,'' Crookham said. Metro gets another shot Oct. 19 when it visits USC and will finish off the season with three straight at home beginning Oct. 22 when it squares off with Colorado Christian.

Injured Rice gives spice to gelling lineup VOLLEYBALL from 19

"That is how we like to do it," said senior Holly Rice, who finished the first game with Mines with two service aces. "Win it in three." Rice has struggled with leg injuries this season and doctors told her to take it easy, she said. She might have played her best in the two wins despite the injuries, totaling 11 kills, seven digs and two solo blocks. She excelled in the Mines match with a .421 attack percentage. Although early in the season the team relied heavily on the talents of a few players, the entire team has begun to flourish. The increased contributions from Rice, Shannon Ortell, Laurie Anderson and Kelly Young have served to strengthen both the attack and defense. "Our success is really because of a team wide effort," McDermott said. Littou and Ortell led the way for the Roadrunners with 23 and 22 kills, respectively. Anderson chipped in with 77 assists in the two games. Results from the Oct. 16 match with Colorado Christian University were not available at press time. Metro has eight games remaining in the regular season, and it could finish with its highest ranking in the 90s if the team can march through the schedule undefeated. That will be a tough challenge considering the Roadrunners must square off with Regis and Nebraska-Kearney near the end of the season .

Jenny Sparks'The Metropolitan RAISING THE ROOF: Metro swimming coach Rob Nasser (center) and members of the swim teams cheer for the Metro volleyball team during an Oct. 10 match with Regis at Aurarla Events Center. The game was promoted as "Break the Attendance Night." Metro tried to break Its all-time volleyball attendance record of 841 but only attracted 469 fans to the game that the Roadrunners won 3-0.

Here are a few tidbits for you to chew on while you're inhaling that slop from the Tivoli that passes for food. Although I am not going to design Kyle RlnCo this or write it in a fashion that blatantly rips off The Metropolitan 's columnist Travis Henry, because then I'd be ripping off Rocky Mountain News columnist

Bob Kravitz. Henry says the column style he uses occasionally is not stolen but a "time-tested format for columns." He also says he has used it since he wrote for his high school paper seven years ago. I'm sure it's just coincidence, but Barry Forbis, the News' sports editor, says Kravitz came to town just over seven years ago, in April of 1990. Besides, perception is reality.

***

The men's soccer team is running second to the University of Colorado football team in the race for most disappointing season. Barring a miracle, the Roadrunners stated goal of winning the conference tournament is gone after its seventh straight loss Oct. 10, this time to the University of Southern Colorado. Metro obviously plays to the level ofits competition. In both Regis matches the Roadrunners were a fired-up bunch, while they seemed lethargic and unmotivated in the first loss of the streak to the Colorado School of Mines. Regis' one conference loss Sept. 17 came courtesy of Metro, while Mines has been mediocre at best. I understand it is tough to play so many road games and the team has had its share of bad breaks, but it is also lacking a killer instinct. One bright spot has been sophomore forward Jared Zanon, who leads the team with 10 goals and 20 points. Julie Zanon, a freshman and sister of Jared, joined the women's soccer team this season and has played in seven matches but hasn't managed to find the net as easily as her brother. The Zanon's came to Metro from Philomath, Oregon. Both earned all-state honors in their senior years at Philomath High School. Jared also earned the honor as a junior.

***

After pounding Regis in three games

Oct. IO, the Metro volleyball team has moved up in the polls to No. 12. The Roadrunners are one of five Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference teams in the top 25. The others are No. 7 Regis, No. I I Colorado Christian, No. 14 Nebraska-Kearney and No.16 USC. It has been difficult to not pick Michelle Edwards as the Athlete of the Week every week in October. Edwards earned the honor for the week of Oct. IO and could have just as easily been selected for this edition of The Metropolitan as well. Edwards is making a case for a selection to the all-conference team in her freshman season. She has led the team in kills for the month and was selected the RMAC Player of the Week for the week ending Oct. 11. Edwards was an all-state selection in 1996, her senior year at Summit High School in Breckenridge. Senior Laurie Anderson is having quite a season - in fact her best. Anderson is currently seventh all-time in assists and assists-per-game at Metro. Her season total stands at 885 assists and 12.29 assists per game. With 10 matches remaining, Anderson is likely to finish in the top five in single-season performances as well.

Talk of a national title run for the women's soccer team might have been a year premature. Although, Metro could challenge Mesa State College for the RMAC championship if it is able to win its six remaining games. All six games are against conference competition. The Roadrunners finish the regular season Nov. 2 with a home game against the Mavericks. If Metro is able to win the first five, the game with Mesa might become a championship contest. Metro will lose only five seniors this year, but the core of the team will be back, including its starting keeper Jennifer Pierce and its top five goal scorers. The seniors are Sarah Deigart,

Tracie Mayes, Kelly McDougal, Heather Traczyk and Shannon Wise. The team has outshot opponents 219101. It's amazing they have lost at all. Metro Sports Information Director Mark Cicero said the NCAA tournament usually takes the top two teams in the region. Currently, Mesa is No. I, and Metro is No. 4. Sophomore forward Kari Pierce earned RMAC offensive Player of the Week honors for the week ending Oct. 11.
