Students voiceless on fee decisions. By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

-·

'•

A proposed plan for assessing student fees at Metro will soon include more student involvement, but it won't ask students to authorize new fees or change old ones. Metro President Sheila Kaplan sent a revised fee plan Dec. 23 to the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado, Metro's 1goveming board. Colorado's public colleges were required by law last year to revise their plans for student fees and spell out how much influence students have over the fees. The plans explain procedures for setting new fees and increasing old ones. Metro's new plan will supersede the old one, which has been in effect since March. The trustees, who oversee Metro and three other colleges, could approve the plan at a February meeting in Grand Junction. The new plan will take effect as soon as it is approved Jessie Bullock by the trustees. Kaplan also sent the board a statement from the Metro Student Government Assembly, which asked for more student control over fees. Student government members worked with Bruce Williams, the director of Metro's Budget Office, to develop the plan Kaplan submitted. Jessie Bullock, the assembly's vice president of Student Fees, led a drive to assure that fees couldn't be changed without student approval. "Since the purpose of student fees is to provide activities and services that benefit students, we should have a large role in

determining the fees we pay," the student government statement lo the trustees said. Kaplan, however, said she couldn't support a plan that gave legal authority to the students, and her proposal to the trustees lacks any such provision. Student fees pay for programs such as Campus Recreation and Women's Services. They can account for as much as 22 percent of the total bill for attending Metro's downtown campus. Fees can bump the bill much higher for students at Metro's three other campuses outside of the metro area, to the tune of $23 per credit hour. 'The 'board can't legally delegate authority to the students to set fees, and some of the students want that authorization," said Jim Heffernan, vice president of Administration and Finance for the Board of Trustees. Still, the state colleges want to include student opinion on fees, even if it's not legally binding, Heffernan said. One of the newest requirements of the law is that colleges itemize fees on students' bills. Metro complied with that law for the first time this semester, and college officials say the policy has precipitated an increase in questions about the fees. The most common question is why some fees are mandatory, said Christina Nguyen, supervisor of the Cashiering department. Bullock also said she's seen an increase in the number of questions about fees and speculated that it was "a direct result" of Banner, a new computer system that students can use to register for classes. "You can look at your fees right there," said Bullock, who gets students' phone calls about fees. "What most of them want is a refund, (but) there's not going to be any refund. The CoPIRG fee and (health) insurance are the only two

possibilities that they can get a refund on." Bullock worked with the Office of Student Publications last semester to produce a brochure that will be mailed to students early this semester. Student Fees: What Are We Paying For? explains how Metro spends the millions of dollars it receives in fees each semester and what the money pays for. It also lists student committees that can influence how the money is spent. The bus pass fee, which is subject to a student vote, increased by

The four departments funded by student fees that are asking for more money are Student Life, Athletics, lnfoTech and the Student Health Center. The increases would take effect as early as this summer.

Auraria seeking more minority, female business contacts By Naomi Osborn The Metropolitan

•

About 50 companies met with Auraria officials over the winter break to put their names on a list the colleges use to find companies to do contract work. Auraria officials want to fulfill Gov. Roy Romer's 1996 request that they contract more work out to female- and minority-owned businesses. Romer suggested state agencies give at least 17 percent of their contract work to women and minorities who own businesses. Auraria gave 11 percent of its contracted work to minority and womenowned businesses last year, said LeRoy Romero, Auraria's director of Diversity Programs and Small Business Opportunities. Auraria makes contracts with outside companies to do jobs such as masonry, roofing, painting and cleaning. "We are trying to reach and eventually exceed that 17 percent goal," Romero said. ·

Romero said. "They need a good record, quality service, and they need to be able to deliver." However, Romero said if the difference was only a few dollars between a minority- or women-owned company's bid over another company's bid, he would encourage Auraria to go with the minority or women-owned company. Auraria contracts with a relatively small number of women and minority businesses because many of those business owners aren't aware that they can do business for the campus, Romero said. "It is my job to show them how to get work, introduce them to managers and get them started," Romero said. Auraria also works with Colorado's computerized contract bidding system. Businesses that want to work for state agencies must be registered in the system. State agencies post notices about contracting OP,portunities on the system and await bids from companies that want to take the iob. · •.

Racism through experienced eyes Words, if allowed, can be far more dangerous than sticks and stones. A woman skates through a blinking then solid, "Don't Walk" signal at Michael BeDan California and I 5th Street. "You stupid nigger!" Perspective screams an angry female voice from the car forced to stop before making a left turn.

Cops see only one thing when they see a black person? "No skating on the mall," the cop says as the woman blurs across the I 6th Street Mall and continues up Curtis Street, again on skates. She nods and skates. The cop rolls up on his motorcycle. She tells him she is going to the bank and since she isn't actually skating on the mall (she'd simply skated across it), she is not doing anything wrong. She was wrong. A handprint bruise on her dark arm and 14 hours with a crack-whore in Denver County Jail proved it. Jail made her cry. The three cops that arrested her for "interference," "disobeying lawful order" and "skating on the mall" made her angry.

Thiebaut added that he's aware who gets money, said Mary Anne Romero-Hunter, Metro's Financial that if his bill is passed into Jaw, it will

likely take funds away from other state-supported merit scholarships but said the measure is necessary because many colleges and universities skimp on merit scholarships for freshmen. "Ironically, I've had more than one constituent call me and say their kid is No. 1 or 2 in their class but couldn't get a scholarship to a Colorado school," Thiebaut said. "I am basically trying to make sure most of the top high school graduates stay in the state." Geoff Barsch, a financial analyst for the CCHE, which would be responsible for figuring out who's eligible for scholarships under Thiebaut's plan, said rewarding academically-elite high school students is a noble idea. But Barsch said the plan could backfire on other students unless the state allocates additional merit-scholarship money. "Obviously if this bill does go through, the CCHE would support getting more money behind it," Barsch said. Sen. Tom Blickensderfer, see MERIT on 11

Three honored for work promoting peace By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

An attorney, a political science professor and a student in Metro's education program, were praised for promoting peace Jan. 15 at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Breakfast on campus. Metro student Teresa Harper, who also served on Metro's student government, received an award for her

work as an advocate for women, minorities and students with disabilities. Robert Hazan, a political science professor, earned the faculty and staff award. He works with a variety of Metro clubs and is the faculty advisor to student government. Walter Echo-Hawk, an attorney at the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, received the community award. He represents Native American

groups in court cases on issues such as religious freedom and treaty rights. The first peace breakfast was in 1992, inspired by a former Metro employee, Karen Thorpe. That year, the honorees were Wilma Webb and Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales. This year's ceremony came not long after a few edgy weeks in November when racially motivated see PEACE on 7

'Dedicated' businCss dean dies at 60 By Deborah Wiig The Metropolitan

Robert Michael Brown, former interim dean of Metro's School of Business, died of pancreatic cancer al his home Dec. 31. He was 60. Friends, family and colleagues remembered Brown as a distinguished professional, lalenled sportsman and dedicated family man at a memorial service Jan. 17 in the Auraria Events Cenler. "For over a quarter century he helped build the college through service that spanned every aspect of the institution," Metro President Sheila Kaplan said. "He was a thoughtful and considerate man, upbeat, quick to smile, and possessed of a splendid sense of humor." Active with Denver Bicycle Touring Club, the economics professor was influential in establishing Denver's bike lrail system, said his nephew, Buddy Brown. Buddy told people at the memorial service that his uncle encouraged him to

make the mosl of life and looked back on his own wilh satisfaction. "If my death is imminent, know that I've had a greal life," Brown lold his nephew a week before he died. Another nephew, Scotty Brown, described a devoted uncle who had a passion for fly-fishing, camping and golf. "Mike Brown was a multidimensional man with an absolutely huge heart," Scotty said. Buddy also talked about his uncle's work in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was a Fulbright Scholar. Buddy said his uncle was not satisfied working in the comfort of his Denver office, so he learned Spanish, bought a Volkswagen bus and moved to the Mexican jungle. He researched economics there from 1969 to 1970. Robert Michael Brown was born May 10, 1937, in Salt Lake City, the son of Harold "Mack" Brown and Catherine Mercy Brown. He earned a Ph.D. in economics in 1975 from the University of

Colorado. He became a faculty member at Metro in 1971 and earned tenure as an economics professor in 1981. He served as chairman of the Economics department from 1988 to 1989 and was associate dean for the School of Business from 1989 lo 1996. Brown was named- interim dean in 1997 while the Michael Brown college searched for a permanent dean, but he left lhal posl in July 1997 due lo his illness. Brown also served as faculty senator and was chairman of lhe Salary Equity/Parily Commitlee from 1995-96. Kaplan said he worked diligently to get accreditation for lhe School of Business from lhe American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business.

Brown earned Metro's Distinguished Service Award in August 1997. Since 1976, Brown was director of the Colorado Council on Economic Education, and he received an Outstanding Achievemenl Award in 1987. He also was one of lhe founders of the penver Community Development Credit Union, which provides low-cost credit services lo low-income communities. The R. Michael Brown Memorial Scholarship in the School of Business was named for a man that never said "no" lo the college, Kaplan said. Metro employees still are working oul details of the scholarship. A tree also will be planted on the Auraria Campus in his memory, but Kaplan did not give a dale for thal planting. Brown is survived by his wife Linda Rytting ; his brother H. Mack "Bud" Brown; stepdaughters Jennifer Simmons and Jill Miller; nephews Buddy Brown and Scotty Brown ; and niece Holly Paranlo.

Former Metro spokeswoman: college subdues controversy By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

Metro spokeswoman Sherry Patten quit Dec. 31, half a year after starting at the college July 11. Patten said she resigned because college administrators were unhappy with her explanation of sensitive issues to the press. One example was a slory in The Metropolitan on Nov. 14 about funding from the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado, the Metro's governing board, Patten said. The article reported that Metro gets

the second lowest public funding per student among the four state colleges. In an interview for the article, Patten said Metro President Sheila Kaplan wouldn't comment on funding because criticism would be perceived as being disloyal to the Board of Trustees. "You need to ask them (officials on the Board of Trustees) whether or not they see (the plan) as fair. You won't hear it from us," she said in the article. The quote was accurate, Patten said, but it put Kaplan in a bad light because she is trying to smooth over the funding issue with the board. Patten's supervisor, Debbie Thomas, said she took issue with

the quote and talked wilh Patten aboul it. Thomas, associate vice president of College Communications, said il was a mauer of recognizing the trustees' responsibility for managing the state colleges' budgets, not a question of Kaplan's loyalty. Pattel);~aid th<l'feaction to that quote was emblematic ol' Metro's tendency to avoid controversy, a situation that made her job of speaking for the college difficult. "I think that what they want and expect from that (College Communications) office are different than most people can deliver," she said. "You sort of get a clue that things are not going

well, and then you find something else." Thomas disagreed. "I just look back at my year (at Metro), and there have been plenty of controversial and contentious things that we've all had to deal with," she said. Before Metro, Patten worked in public relations for the City of Aurora. At Metro, Patten was responsible for media relations and producing internal publications, such as The Met Journal. Thomas said she will hire someone to replace Pauen or rework lhe position to include different responsibilities. Pauen has since started a job at the Colorado Department of Justice.

violence broke out in Denver. A self-proclaimed racist killed a Denver police officer, and a few days later, another killed an African man then shot a woman in the back who tried to help him, leaving her paralyzed. The breakfast has often come on the heels of such tensions, but that only underlines the need to affirm the value of peace, said Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen, one of the events' organizers and the associate vice president of Student Services and dean of Student Life. Harper credited support from staff at the Institute for Women's Studies and others at the college for her success as a peace activist. "They were very encouraging to me," Harper said. "They had my back. I don't know what I would have done without them." Harper worked last semestet as vice presidynt of Diversity for Metro's Student Government Assembly. She said she is leaving the position this spring to make time for student teaching. One of Harper's efforts as vice presi·dent of Diversity was her push for specific guidelines on the rights of students with disabilities.

GOOD DEAL: Metro student Aspen Arbuthnot pays $14 for a $41 economics book at a Jan. 20 book swap In the Tivoli Student Union.

Book swap leaves ABC unscathed By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan >-

A student-led effort to save money on books by swapping and buying them from other students barely made a dent in Auraria Book Center's near-monopoly on the campus book market. About 80 books were up for sale or trade in the Colorado Public Interest Research Group's book swap on Jan. 20, said Anthony Nocera, a Metro student who helped organize the event. But event orga-

nizers said they haven't tracked how many books have been sold or traded since the book swap started. CoPIRG, an environmentally-oriented organization at Metro, has staged a string of book swap events since December. Students, who set their own prices, can sell their old text books and buy used books from other students at a discount. Students get the money from the sale, and CoPIRG collects a 5 percent fee on the transactions . Nocera said this is the first swap in memosee SWAP on 13

ry at Auraria. Student government members from all three Auraria colleges advertised the event by posting fliers and word of mouth. One swap organizer pitched the idea to a long line of students waiting to sell their books back to Auraria Book Center at the end of fall

semester. Several students asked questions and read the fliers he passed out. But few actually left the queue, and the fliers ended up on the floor. But Clayt Freed, campus organizer for CoPIRG, said the response has been better than expected.

"It has surpassed my goals," Freed said. "For. the first time doing this, I think it's really good." Freed said the group would stage at least one more book swap at the end of this semester. Swap headquarters are at the University of Colorado at Denver student government offices in the Tivoli.

Go you pay, pay to go 1ibt ~lftan

Editorial News: Metro courses come complete with an attendance policy. Views: Enforcing an attendance policy in every class is absurd.

It is not enough that students pay hard-earned cash to attend college. It is not enough that they are required to pay various student fees. Nope. also are Students required to pay the price of lowered grades for missing a certain number of classes, regardless of whether the student does adequate work to receive a higher grade. Ridiculous.

Especially at Metro. Students here, unlike most colleges and universities, tend to be anything but the typical college _student. Teenagers and senior citizens alike share this campus. And every age group in between. Students with children, wives, husbands, etc. Students with one, two or three jobs. Sometimes it just is not realistic for students to attend class as regularly as it can be expected for, say, high school students. Lowering a student's grade simply because that

student missed three, four or even five class periods is insulting and wrong. There arc exceptions. Certain lab classes or classes that require direct participation each and every meeting can be included as such. But for typical lecture classes, where a student listens to a professor speak then reads the required chapters, only to be tested two or three times per semester with multiple choice or essay exams, attendance is not of major importance. If students can miss five, six or seven classes and still complete the required work, pass the tests and learn, why should they be penalized for missing a few classes because of work, family or other personal reasons? To make things fair, teachers should be penalized for canceling classes if they can penalize a student for missing class. How many times have you trudged through snow, fought traffic, paid for parking and hustled to class only to find a posted note explaining that class is canceled? College students pay for the right to attend or not attend classes. Students are, for the most part, adults. Metro should start treating its students like adults.

F'inancial Aid foils student

â&#x20AC;˘

There is something less than comforting to know that our whole educational bureaucratic system is being controlled by the lowest bidder. This . is especially apparent when dealing with Financial Aid and the Cashier's Office. Dave Romberg I tried to avoid any problems, having had to wait until Jive late November during the fall semester to get my student loan disbursement. It seems that Financial Aid had two different social security numbers on file for me. I was told that this was all my fault because I must have incorrectly entered it on a form somewhere. As a side note, I must add that my social security number is the only thing I have learned in college that I am I 00 percent sure of. The chances of that happening were about as great as the Cubs winning the pennant. So I called my lender to see when I would be getting my money for spring semester. "It was mailed out to your school on the 4th of January," I was told. At that time, it was the 15th, and I had seen nothing in the mail. So I called Metro. "Your check will be waiting for you on the first day of classes in the Cashier's office," said the man on the phone. "Why can't I pick it up now?" "Because you registered for your classes yesterday, and 1998 is an even year." "What the hell does that have to do with anything?!" "Nothing at all. Have a nice day." After spending the mandatory three hours standing in line with 30 or 40 other really unhappy people on the first day of classes, the clerk in the Cashier's Office"looked me in the eye and said, "Financial Aid

ain't paid your account yet, so you got no check here." ,, Oh boy, Daisy Duke says I get to go wait in the Financial Aid line, I thought. I wonder if I could just go slam my head in a car door a few times instead. Here, I must apologize to the students standing in line at Financial Aid. I walked past all of them and demanded to see a counselor, post haste. I'm sorry, but if I had been forced to wait for another hour, someone would have been throttled. Some young woman informed me that a counselor would see me, and then lectured me on the etiquette of waiting in line. Thankfully, I still had enough self-control left to refrain from hitting her with the nearest cubicle. The only part of the encounter that was even remotely pleasant was Beth Harris, the counselor. She maintained her composure - after I informed her how angry I was - and calmly explained the problem to me. I must commend her professional manner and demeanor. Unfortunately, it's not enough. The problem is Financial Aid and the Cashier's Office use two completely different computer systems. This meant I was going to have to wait another,24 hours before my money would be available. "We dispersed the money from here, but the other system hasn't picked it up yet," Harris explained. Here's a thought. If I absolutely have to pick up the check from the Cashier's office, then how about cutting a check in the Financial Aid office and having one of the student hourly gophers walk their asses the 50 feet to the Cashier's office and hand it to them. Better yet, Metro could contract a few Auraria parking employees to do the job and keep them out of the student body's hair. But that's a whole other column.

Historical events distorted in movies

Claudia Hlbbert-BeDan

Soapbox

"Niggas always got to show their teeth. Now /'ma be brief Be true to the game. " - Ice Cube. The above quote, from "True to the Game" on Ice Cube's 1991 album Death Certificate, was directed toward black rappers that Ice Cube believed had "sold out" and had become caricatures that white society would accept. I'll be using it in a different way. Two films have been released to help society understand the plight of

blacks in America. Amistad, under Steven Spielberg's direction, tells the story of 53 Africans who killed all but two of their captors aboard the slave ship La Amistad. The Africans were imprisoned in Connecticut, but they were ultimately freed after a Supreme Court case argued by former President John Quincy Adams. The Wonderful World of Disney introduced us to Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old girl from New Orleans who was the first black child to integrate the city's public school system. Each movie illustrates, to some extent, how far society has come. Slavery is long over, and schools are integrated. Still, we're not being told the complete truth. Movies are entertainment, QI.It these movies are about historical events that still affect some today. Ruby Bridges aired Jan. 18 during primetime. Families would be watching, television executives thought. Young children might be upset by the images that young Ruby had to endure. So they toned it down. "People need to know it was worse, much worse," said Ruby Bridges Hall, now in her 40s, in an interview with The Associated Press. "I have an 8-by- I0 photo given to me by a friend at a news station. These crowds came by the busloads to the school. They had this coffin, a real baby coffin. Nothing like what you see in the movie. "And there's a black baby (doll) in the coffin." In Amistad, Cinque, the leader of the Africans' uprising, was invited to Adams' place to watch him putter around his greenhouse. The men bonded when Cinque found Adams' African violet. This never happened. Look it up. At the end of the movie, Adams makes an impassioned plea to the Supreme Court's conscience to free the Africans because the honorable thing is to return them to their families and homeland. In actuality, his argument focused more on the legality of the issue. The international slave trade had been abolished years earlier, and since the Africans aboard the Amistad were kidnapped from their country, they were unlawfully being held in the states and "belonged" to no one. America's history, as it relates to blacks, is just plain ugly. But movie executives seem to believe that the only way whites will tune in or pay $8 a ticket is if they can come away without feeling bad. People are tired of hearing about slavery and civil rights anyway. So we get movies such as Amistad and Ruby Bridges that pretty things up. A couple of images emerge from Ice Cube's rhyme. He wasn't only talking about "sell-out" artists who seem to do a constant dance to remain in society's good graces. He was also talking about white auctioneers opening black slaves' mouths to show their teeth, as some did with horses, to show that they were healthy. That is sad. But it's sadder that most Americans don't have the guts to hear it. Claudia Hibbert-BeDan is a UCD student and a copy editor/columnist for The MetropoliJan

Students waking up to·fee issues Editor, Money. At this time of year, college students across the nation are being asked to cough up money for tuition and fees. At most colleges tuition and fees increase every year. Students are asked to pay more for their education, but are they getting more in return? No one should blindly pay for products and/or services when he/she isn't sure what is being provided - not in or out of higher education. In the 1997 legislative session, Senate Bill 97-28, the student fees bill, was passed. As a result of that law, all student fees, except course fees that are listed in the course description or course catalogue, must be "separately itemized on the student billing statement." The amount and title of each student fee has been listed in the course catalogue for each semester in the front section that no one usually reads. Upon receiving their billing statements or printing their fee statements from the Banner system on the Internet, many students have been sent into a state of shock

over the fees they pay. This is good and bad. It is good because people are waking up to what they are really paying for here at Metro, and it is bad because most of these fees have existed for a long time. Students who have been attending Metro for at least a semester or two should know where their money is going. The worst part of it all is that students have always had the opportuni~y to vote for the CoPIRG fee and the RTD bus pass fee on a referendum. At Metro, all students pay eight student fees every semester. Those are the AHEC Bond Fee, AHEC Facility Fee, RTD Bus Pass Fee, Information Technology Fee, Phone Registration Fee, Athletic Fee, Health Services Fee and the Student Affairs Fee. On some fees, parttime studepts pay less than full-time students do because those particular fees are graduated based on credit hours taken. Every student pays the same amount for the Athletic Fee, Health Services Fee,

Phone Registration Fee and RTD Bus Pass Fee. The health insurance is not a student fee, and the $298.30 is refundable if you can prove you already have insurance by Feb. 4. All Metro students will be receiving a student fee br:ochure in the mail that was created by a committee headed by the Metro Student Government Assembly. It will identify each fee, the amount of the fee, a phone number to call for more information, and how to get involved and impact your student fees. The SGA will also be holding one or two open forums regarding student fees. Watch for an ad in the paper and fliers on campus to find out when they are. Remember, keep your eyes open and get your money's worth from Metro.

Jessie Bullock vice president for Student Fees, Metro SGA Metro poli sci major, senior 556-3253

Student paper's ·absence inexcusable Editor, On Nov. 24, a historical event took place on campus that was covered by the two major papers in Denver, three television stations, and various other publications, but not The Metropolitan. The event was sponsored by students who are now taking a stand against racism. The event was sparked by the senseless killing of a West African refugee and the shooting of an innocent bystander. The message carried through this protest was that all people, white, Blacks, Native Americans, Chicanos, etc, must stand together under the same banner against racism. It was made clear by this protest, as Americans, that if you are not

part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. The Metropolitan, by not reporting on this event, certainly, showed its position. It must also be pointed out, though there is freedom of the press, the EDITOR decides what is printed and what is not printed. In the end, freedom of the press is not important, but what is important is who owns the press. I WAS COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE EDITOR OF THE METROPOLITAN DECIDED NOT TO PRINT ANYTHING ON THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT THAT TOOK PLACE. This event was also significant because of the participation of professors.

This participation demonstrates that EDUCATION clearly must take an active role in eliminating RACISM, not only on campus or the United States, but the whole world. The Metropolitan is not excused from also playing a role. Get it together, be part of the solution, and report to the students in your newspaper any event with such historical significance.

1997: The year in local theater

'Phantom' lives up to predecessors By Ricardo Baca The Metropolitan

THEATER from 17

very straightforward. And the production only complemented the positively beautiful focus on the Big Brother-like negative utopia. Unfortunately, the DDC missed all nominations. for the players in EightyFour, which contained great acting, but they did hit two acting nominations right on the head. Catherine Di Bella's machismo-filled character in HorseChart Theater Company's Tough! was worthy of the Supporting Actress nomination, and k. osiris wade's performance of the fluffy characters in Angels were overly worthy of the honor. One of the hot races that the DDC caught onto falls upon the best direction of a play. Chip Walton worked wonders without wings with Angels. But · for Eighty-Four, Brian Freeland turned a 50seat, old garage into a realm created by another author and adapted by himself. All things considered, Freeland should prevail since the production as a whole was more uniquely shaped and directed. However, Angels gets the trophy as the season's best play. This well-rounded performance rocked the party that rocked the party. And then there are musicals. Boulder's Dinner Theatre came up big with eight nominations, most of which are for their current production of Phantom (sec review this page). Shelly Cox-Robie, one of the leads in Pha1110111, is nominated for best musical lead. The other lead Wayne Kennedy, was also nominated, but for his performance in The Unsinkable Molly Brown. The stand-out of the musical year was Lucy Roucis, who won a supporting actress nomination for PHAMALy's Mame. Her character stood out to many as the most memorable of the show. And, of course, the behind-the-scenes people dazzled us with luminous lights and sacrilegious sounds. Matthew Morgan should be honored as he was a very busy sound man this year. Let me take you back to a memorable moment in Denver theater: At the end of Angels, Part I, the angel crashes through a ceiling window so she's hanging directly above the ·character Prior. And then comes the final, fear-ofGod evoking lines of the play. It's a beautiful theater spectacle. But the company quickly realized what the Rolling Stones were saying when they sang, "You can't always get what you want." On opening night, the windows flew open and the angel appeared, but she couldn 't fit throug h the window and descend to Prior. Morgan saved the moment. His sounds drew the audience's attention away from the fact that the angel was still near the ceiling. That's what theater's all about.

Please get all v1s1ons of falling chandeliers and Michael Crawford out of your head. This is not Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, Phantom of the Opera; rather it is just plain Phantom and written by a man you've probably never heard of. Phantom is based on the same Gaston Leroux novel as Webber's, just with different dialogue and songs, and a few dissimilar twists thrown in. Lacking a louring production, Denver regional theater probably won't see a Webber musical for many years. No local theater company could get rights to any of Webber's shows, as they are still wildly in demand. Cats recently surpassed A Chorus Line as the longest running show on Broadway and is still running strong. Phantom of the Opera is also selling out in New York. That is why we must settle for Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit's Phantom. And as Jerry Seinfeld would say: "Not that there's anything wrong with that." The musical Lelis the story of Chalet (A.K. Klimpke) and his wife, Carlotta (Joanie Brosseau-Beyelle), the greedy, new owners of a French opera house. The couple decides that Carlotta should have the starring roles in all of the shows even though her talent mirrors that of a high school talent show. Enter Christine (Shelly Cox-Robie), referred to the opera house because of her beautiful voice. The new owners, give her Cinderella-type employment as a costume maid. ' A ghostly being (Wayne Kennedy) who resides in the cellar of the opera house, overhears Christine one day, and she is immediately taken on as his student. His only condition: she can never see his face, which is covered by a mask. As he trains her, she becomes a great singer, and gets a lead in the latest opera. Then Carlotta poisons Christine's drink so she sings horribly on opening night, hence pissing the phantom off because he has fallen in love with Christine. It's close lo Webber's musical, the four Phantom films and the original novel, but a few zingers have been thrown in. It turns out the former opera house owner, Carriere (D.P. Perkins). is the Phantom's ashamed father. After his wife died, he saw nothing but ugliness in his son's deformed face, so he did what any self-loathing and immature father would do. He threw him in the basement with a mask to cover his face. Great vocal performances, which audiences have become accustomed to at Boulder's Dinner Theatre, highlighted the night. Although you couldn't see Kennedy's face, his voice resonated throughout the room while he sang the balladesque laments. Also impressive was Cox-Robie, who beautifully sang the difficult, multioctave part.

' HIDDEN: Joanie Brosseau-Beyette (left) as Carlotta and A.K. Klimpke (right) as Cholet In Boulder's Dinner Theatre production of Phantom, running until April 12. Carlotta, Kopit's best written character, stole the night. Brosseau-Beyetle was wonderfully erratic. She was the perfect mix of Narcissus and the litlle train who couldn 'l. The technical aspects were also carried out nicely. Four corner spotlights prevented the players from being engulfed in lurking shadows. But the blocking and choreography lacked the creativity the stage designers possessed. The many songs where the entire company would stand motionless facing the audience were boring to look at. Also, many of the dance scenes were sketchy and sloppy. I guess every dog has his day ... and I guess he has his off days, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

• chief broom The Blueblrd Theater, Jan. 24, 8 p.m.

Chief Broom is - hold your breath for this one - yet another jam-style band from Boulder. Selfdescribed as a blend of "blues, rock, funk, jazz, classical and visceral folk," its music is a glimpse into some strange parallel universe where blending as many diffuse styles of music together as possible is a virtue. While the songwriting is good enough to set the band apart from the improvisational flailings that plague many others of their ilk, really, that's like saying it's the nicest of the damned, Oh, and the band has a new self-titled CD out too, if you like that sort of thing. $8.

Best of . the worst

Bright spots few and f~r between in generally disappointing year for music By B. Erin Cole

The Metropolitan

• Pavement Brighten The Corners (Matador)

How disappointing. Shiny and promising at its beginning, 1997 - as least as far as music is concerned - instead turned out to be as dull and dreary as someone's worst home movie. Lots of records came out this year, and most of them were only half-good, at best. Occasional flashes of brilliance could be found here and there, but nothing amazing enough to tell your friends, your enemies or even your mom about. The music press tried ils best to create excitement where there wasn't a lot to be found, pummeling readers with the twin fists of electronica (a fine movement, but it's been around long enough lo make the "shiny new thing" hype look silly) and the incessant "Year of the Woman" talk (proof that popular music's idea of gender equity is that it's OK for women to suck just as much a:s men do now). Recapping such a year is difficult, because so much of what happened is fairly uninteresting. Instead of qualifying this year-end list with words such as "best" and "most amazing," it might be more honest to title this list:

This one's a given . Pretty much everything Pavement does. is brilliant. While this album isn't as startlingly new and refreshing as some of their previous efforts, it's a worthy addition to their rather illustrious catalogue. This is one band that has earned any word of praise thal comes its way. The songs on Brighten The Comers aren't as chock full of fuzzy guitar noise and odd production values as could be expected, but the band makes up for that by writing some of its most beautiful songs ever. Stephen Malkmus' lyrics always a bit worldweary and disdainful - this time show a preoccupation with maturing and growing older. This is about as good as it got this year.

The Least Disappointing Records of 1997 (in alphabetical order): • The Apples in Stereo - To11e Soul Evolutio11 (Elephant 6/spinART) Denver's Official Indie Rock Band™ poked out its best, most consistent album to date with this collection of 14 breezy, catchy tunes. The album starts out strong with "Seems So," one of the better songs of the year. Guitarist/singer Robert Schneider sings about a man lil alive by some sort of vision - "When I called last night I wasn't high I No, I had not been drinking I When I saw a sight, I can't deny I Now made me do some thinking" - while the rest of the band backs him up with neat harmonies and a precise, pulsating bass line. Unlike their previous efforts, The Apples manage to keep this momentum going throughout the entire record.

...

•Blonde Redhead - Fake Can Be Just As Good (Touch And Go) The no wave movement of the late 1970s has influenced scores of bands, and Blonde Redhead is this year's example. Its music features enough atonal guitar noise and jerky, uneven rhythms to show that this trio has been carefully studying the works of classic no wave bands, such as James Chance and The Contortions and DNA (a song of whose they took their name from), as well as more current bands like Polvo and current critical favorites Unwound. Fake Ca11 Be Just As Good shows all the tricks the band can pull: interesting time changes, odd song structures and lyrics that read like scary high school girl poetry - "A place in a world an expression no salt no tears.. .I submit and you smile" (from "Pier Paolo"). While not brilliant, this album is easily one of the year's more interesting efforts. • Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On (Warner Brothers) This Boise, Idaho, band's first major-label release showed no signs of compromise. Instead, singer/songwriter Doug Martsch expanded his vision. Previous Built to Spill releases have featured lots of short, sweet songs about love and kids and growing up in small towns. The subject matter hasn't changed on Perfect From Now On, but the songs have increased in length and intensity. There's plenty of guitar noodling to be found here, and Martsch proves to be a master at coaxing waves of sound and feedback from his instrument. This album is, more or less, classic rock for those listeners who have denounced the idea of classic rock.

•

• Silkworm - Developer (Matador) 1997 saw the release of many records that weren't likable on first, or even second, listen. While most of these records didn't tum out to be worthwhile with many repeated tries, Developer got better and better with each listen. Overall, the record is pretty bleak-sounding. With a few exceptions (such as "I Never Met A Man I Didn't Like," which is as close as this album has to a Big Rock Song), the songs here are almost painfully slow, with the space between notes just as important as the notes .themselves. Vocalist Tim Midgett's voice croaks along and is a perfect match to the lyrics, which are mainly concerned with isolation and loss. Not a pleasant listen, but worth it. • Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out (Kill Rock Stars) Dig Me Out is the closest thing to an unanimous critical favorite as came out in 1997. And with good reason: it made guitar rock sound new and exciting at a time when the genre seems exhausted. While Sleater-Kinney spring from the mid-90s riot grrl movement, they differentiate themselves from others in the same bunch by backing up their ideals with good songwriting and playing. Vocalist/guitarist Corin Tucker has one of the best rock singing voices to come along in ages, and she makes every song sound like what she's saying matters more than anything in the world.

would be an achievemenl in an age where everyone sings like they're bored, but combined with Lhe energy of the songs on this album, the effect is pretty damn impressive.

• Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (Dedicated) Spiritualized frontman Jason Pierce was a member of the influential trancerock band Spacemen 3 during the '80s, and he's spent his career ever since exploring further the possibilities suggested by Spaceman 3's blend of psychedelic rock, blues and various pharmaceuticals. Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space sounds a Jot like what the title suggests: this is music to float around and get lost in. It starts out fairly concise - the title track and the vaguely anthemic "Come Together" come as close as this album gets to actual songs - but as the record progresses, it slips deeper and deeper into the realm of pure sound. A must for times when you're ... impaired. • Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (Matador) This is, hands down, the best record to

come out this year. While Yo La Tengo has yet to release a bad album, this one man~ges to show off every strength the band has at once. The band's ongoing attempt to explore all of rock history through its music continues here, with a cover of the Beach Boys' "Little Honda" that manages to surpass Lhe original, scattered references to other works, and a few hidden music geek in-jokes. But the band's much more than lhe sum of their influences. This record has some of the best songwriting to date, from the plaintive ballad "Autumn Sweater" to the rhythmic near-funk of "Moby Octopad." The best song on this album is the most surprising: "Stockholm Syndrome," the first song on a Yo La Tengo album sung by bassist James McNew. Simple and short, this song is almost heartbreaking in its sincerity. Other highlights: Cornershop When I Was Born Again For The Seventh Time (a well-crafted record that manages Lo mix ethnic music, slick studio pop and electronic beats into one beast); Jessamine - Another Fictionalized History (a collection of rare tracks by the best semi-rock band you've never heard of); Sonic Youth - SYRI and SYR2 (a great band gets its act back together again); and Stcreolab Dots and Loops (all Stereolab is good).

These guy's ain't stupid. Take a few hours out of your day and walk into most college gymnasiums around the country just about the time the men's basketball team is finished practicing. Now walk up and introduce yourself as a reporter to a player. Almost anyone will do.

Don't worry about not being a real reporter. I don't. What you will get is the anti-sentence. It's a jumbled mess of cliche-ridden, chestthumping, street-speak. You can't really blame these guys. They are a product of an environment to some extent. Except for the kid from the Cherry Creeks of the world who has decided to change everything about himself to fit in. Don't get upset if someone calls you "dog." It's a good thing - really. Things were not much different here at Metro as little as I 0 months ago. But now, thanks to a coach who accepts nothing less than a top performance academically, and one who recruits to meet that goal, conversation is back en vogue. Grades are up. The Metro men's basketball team raised its cumulative GPA from a paltry 2.28 at the end of Ike summer to a healthier 2.78 at Christmas. That is a nice leap. Coach Mike Dunlap, The Savior, hasn't scheduled a party, but he is happy with the progress. "I'm really proud of what they did academically," Dunlap said. Maybe the most stunning part of the accomplishment is Jhat while the team has faired well in the classroom, it has aho dominated on the court. Metro recently expenenced its first losses of the season. Both happened on the road in the two. toughest places to play in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference at Nebraska-Kearney and Fort Hays State, where IOI Things to do With Corn is reportedly a best seller. The Roadrunners are 13-2. Metro had a chance to win both games. They lost by five to Kearney and three to Hays. DeMarcos Anzures took the last shot trailing . by three in Fort Hays. A panicked crowd of more than 2,000 watched his trademark feathery three-point jump shot float through the air. They fell silent. The Tigers have won 45 straight at home. 'The shot fell short. Pandemonium. It was yet another learning experience for the Roadrunners, Dunlap said. Although it came later than expected, the team finally learned how it feels to lose. "I think the players have done a very good job with humility," Dunlap said, "whether we win or lose. "We are not happy with losing at all, but we didn't have any idea of what that would be like. Now we know." Before losing, the Roadrunners were ranked No. 14 in the nation. They have since fallen to No. 25. When he arrived at Metro last spring, Dunlap said he would be tough about grades. He said there would be a reckoning should any player slack off. He boasted that he'd never failed to graduate a player.

·--~---------------------~------------------------------- -- - -·---- ·

That's right. Never. We believed he might have meant what he said at the time. But, after all, this is college basketball. Since when - did grades start to matter? We were hesitant before. Now we are sold, at least until May. Should Dunlap continue to get these same results, he is assured of a job here as long as he•d like one. It's not as if former coach Charles Bradtey was about to be fired before he left last spring for a Division I job in Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount. Bradley went 13-13 last season. Half the team hated the other half. You realize, of course, that a 2.2 cumulative GPA means that there were players who fell below that fell below that mark. Now we know why only five players stayed on with Dunlap. I can hear some of the players who left now. "You mean we actually got to go to class, dog? Uh, I mean, coach Dunlap." Metro's gym, the Auraria Events Center, is a saner place now. It's at least one gym in America where you can go to get an articulate comment from men who care about where they are and why they are there. Credit Dunlap. The Savior. Photos by Jenny Sparks ~

Kearney d~als MetrO, first RMAC loss ..l

By Kyle Ringo The Metropolitan

Metro women 's basketball coach Darryl Smith sits in his third floor office inside the Tivoli ripping off a series of one-liners to every caller or visitor to invade the 15-by-15 cubicle that he shares with a John Wayne poster. He is known for his witty personality off the court and his fiery demeanor on it. But, for what ever reason, Smith is not yet recognized for what he does best -win. His current group of players are well on their way to another 20 win season, something the coach has maQaged five of seven previous seasons at Metro. And yet, despite all the success,'Metro is not generally looked at as the best • team in its own conference. At least .not since the school joined the Ro~ky Mountain Athletic Conference last year. That distinction has belonged to Nebraska-Kearney, and it seems to have been proven once again when Metro lost embarrassing!y Jan. 16 to the Lopers at Kearney 70-45. But Smith will argue that point with a quick perusal of the box score. It's an effective argument. "We took 55 shots," Smith said. "They took 50. They got six offensive putbacks in the second half. If they don't make the putbacks, that whole game is a lot different." Then there is the field goal percentage. Metro shot .327 while Kearney hit more than half of its attempts, nailing .540 for the game. · Smith points to the rebounding margin, a 44-23 total in favor of Kearney. And the capper? Kearney turned the ball over more frequently. "I'll tell you what," Smith said. "We are going to give them all they want (at

Can the Broncos be Super? Or will it be a cheesy Sunday? L

Yes '

Can the cheese be melted? Well, sure it can. This is not exactly Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas. It's more like Ali-Frazier. I'm saying yes with Marv Albert-like emphasis. The Broncos can win and will. I'll admit it right up front. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I bleed predominately orange. But, the journalist in me - the guy who can type real fast with two fingers and has a few fibers of objectivity - says the Denver Broncos can beat the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII (That is 32 for those of you in the art department). Here then is my recipe for your Super Bowl cheese dip. Turnovers. The Broncos need to get a few to win. The Packers don't. The Broncos' offensive line must be able to open some holes for Terrell Davis to run through. Not Jacksonville size holes, but more like Gilbert Brown size, which, according to sources close to me, is approximately the size of my girlfriend from ninth grade - now, not then. The Broncos must be able to handle the pressure. Let's remember most of the Packers, 34 in fact, have been here before while most of the Broncos, all but 11, have not. But then again, a friend of mine with actual playing time logged above the high school level says once the first hit comes, you are more worried about coming up with something to say about the guy's mother than you are the pressure. Unless you are Bill Romanowski. Then you are worried about getting cotton mouth. The Broncos' defense has to limit Dorsey Levens to 75 yards rushing or fewer. The Packers' offense, led by quarterback Brett Favre, is dangerous even when it can't run the ball. The smaller Bronco defense won't withstand too many long Packer drives. Finally, and I mean this, the Broncos must break Favre's leg, gel a little help from the referees or God, or hope Brown has a heart attack. Let's face it, they are going to need a lillle luck. Favre is a 28-year-old John Elway clone with the same talent surrounding him on offense as Denver's current group. There's one exception. Levens is not as good as Davis. Although it would be nice to see John Elway storm down the field for a game-winning, legend-enhancing drive in the final minutes to win the game, his heroics won't be needed. Davis will make the Disney commercial. Davis will win the game. Davis will begin '1is own odyssey into the hearts of Denver sports fans. It is Elway's destiny to finally win this game - the game. He will, and he'll thank Davis for it. Prediction: Denver 36, Green Bay 34, and the cheese industry won't bother to purchase any commercial time. Kyte Ringo

No Michael BeDan

It could happen, but it won't. It should happen, but it can't. Not this year. Probably not any time soon, either. Too many holes, seemingly patched by a spirited run through the playoffs. Too many cold, hard facts that can neither be denied nor changed any time before Super Bowl Sunday. John Elway might be the most talented athlete to ever play the quarterback position in the NFL. No NFL quarterback has won more games than Elway. But 31 times a quarterback has won the one game that Elway never will. Any sports fan with a scant scent of a clue knows Elway is the last one to blame for any past Super Bowl failure. Hell, Elway is the only reason the Denver Broncos have had four chances since his arrival Lo play in the game that serves as filler for multimillion dollar commercials. And if you are old enough to remember the first time Denver made it to the Super Bowl in 1978 against Roger Staubach's Dallas Cowboys, you'll recall that it was done then with a dominant defense. Which brings us to this, the fifth time the Broncos will take the national stage and, sadly, the fifth time they will be humiliated in the sporting world's most unforgiving event. Denver's special teams are not special. Adequate, yes. Special, no. Tom Rouen can't expect to punt the ball 18 yards against the Green Bay Packers and get away with it. The Packers' offense will make the Broncos pay if they give Brett Favre a short field. Jason Elam? Broncos coach Mike Shanahan has about as much faith in Elam as an atheist has in God. And Elam hardly has shown he could J..ick even a 35yarder if the game was on the line. Any missed kick in this game will be crucial. The Broncos' offense has shown an aversion to scoring in the third and fourth quarter and its defense - despite solid performances in three playoff games - will not be facing Elvis Grbac or Kordell Stewart. Or 59-year-old Marcus Allen. Nope, it's Dorsey Levens, Favre, Antonio Freeman and the Cheeseheads. No story would be greater than Elway riding into the sunset with the Lombardi Trophy under his powerful right arm . But Jan. 25 in San Diego, the Lombardi Trophy will return to its roots, somewhere where the tundra is, gasp, frozen. If there were football gods, it would come down to Elway on his own 5-yard line with 2: 11 left and no timeouts and down by four - then let the oards fall. But what ever football deities might exist have ordained the NFC to reign, and Elway's teammates won't keep it close enough for the comeback king to work his magic. Prediction: Green Bay 42, Denver 13.

Allen matures.to 41 1._

Sophomore guard sets school record as Metro tolls ByKyle~o

> . Stephanie Allen is humble. It is an endearing quality that has earned the 5-foot-6-inch guard the respect of her teammates and coaches. But it is not the only trait, and definitely not the first, that people mention about the budding star sophomore on the Metro women's basketball team. Some mention the deadly jump shot, which she uses to set up defenders only to drive past them later in the game for easy -layups. Some point to her defense or -'luickness. When asked to pinpoint what has enabled her to perform so well on the court, Allen stops talking hoops and delves deeper. "It's maturity and commitment," she &ays matter of factly. "I want to be good, pnd I want my team to be good. "It's just a matter of everyone playing together. I love where I'm at. I fit in really well. I feel like I'm where I belong." So with her comfort level in mind, and her penchant for putting up huge numbers, i't is not surprising to her team, coaches and familiar fans that Allen now holds the school record for most points scored in one game. In fact, most expect plenty of other records to belong to Allen before she is .,.._

Center of attention Former player returns to face old team By Kyle Ringo The Metropolitan

Martin Glastetter looks like an immovable object on the basketball court. Off the court he is not. The 6-foot-6-inch 230-pound center returns Jan. 23 to Metro where his college career began. This time, he will be in the visitor's locker room. Glastetter played his freshman and sophomore seasons ( 1995-1997) as a power forward at first before moving to center. Then shortly after last season ended, he learned former Metro coach Charles Bradley had taken another coaching job in Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount. Glastetter decided he would move on, too. But where he went is hard for Metro fans to swallow. Glastetter is now the starting center for Regis University, which has been Metro's chief rival for years. Bradley has a long-standing friendship with Regis coach Lonnie Porter. That connection might have influenced Glastetter's decision to join the Rangers. When the two teams hit the floor Jan. 23 at the Auraria Events Center at 7 p.m., he will find out if he made the right decision. Metro won both meetings between

the schools last season, ending a painful losing streak to Regis, which included a playoff loss to the Rangers in Glastetter's freshman season. Both schools battled in the Colorado Athletic Conference at the time. Both have since joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Rangers (14-2, 8-1) occupy the top spot in the RMAC's Eastern Division along with Nebraska- Kearney and Fort Hays State. Martin Glastetter Regis boasts the best overall record in the conference. The Roadrunners (13-2, 7-2), having lost their two most recent games to Kearney and Fort Hays, trail the pack by a single game. Glastetter is enjoying his best season in college. He scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Jan. 20 in a nonconference game with Colorado College. Only five of Glastetter's former teammates are still playing at Metro. They include DeM"arcos Anzures, Adrian Navarro, Sidikie Kamara, Chris Tiritas and Kevin Gill.

ATTENTION! Students, Faculty and Staff MSCD has approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet (Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan State College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not interfere with any other individual's intellectual inquiry and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas. Equally important is the individual's right-to-privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-lo-privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy of 1974). This responsibility spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal and electronic communications and electronic data files. The Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code).

APPROPRIATE USE To be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of institutional goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community lo use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is true of administrative information systems, academic computing resources,

networking technologies and office automation. MSCD's computing resources are available to MSCD students, faculty and staff. For any other individual or organization lo use MSCD's computing resources requires special written approval from the Associate Vice President of Information Technology.

INAPPROPRIATE USE Any activity involving MSCD's computing facilities which knowingly interferes with someone else's academic freedom, the institution's goals or policies, examples of inappropriate use include, bul are not limited to the following :

-Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements and contracts. - Any commercial use for profit; - Use of an inlercampus network such as Bitnel, Colorado Supernet or the Internet that violates their usage guidelines (see usage guidelines for these various networks). Many of these examples involve violations of law. For example, unauthorized access into someone's information stored on a computer system is a violation of that person 's right to privacy and is a criminal act.

RIGHTS - Attempting lo gain access lo personal information, computer accounts, or computing resources for which you are not authorized. - Not logging off from public terminals, thereby providing others access to computing resources for which they may not be authorized. - Damaging, altering or tampering with other's data contained within or transported by MSCD's computing facilities. - Violating the confidentiality of information associated with an individual or their research, or information associated with the college. - ArtJ form of.electronic eavesdropping, e.g., examining the contents of data packets transmiued on the campus network. - Any form of harassing activity; Any activity which wastes either human or computing resources.

Information Technology reserves the right to assist in determining inappropriate use. This may include, but is not limited to, examining the contents of data files or reports and system activity logs.

RESULTS OF MISUSE Misuse of computing resources at MSCD may include suspension of computing privileges, referral lo an appropriate authority on campus and referral to a law enforcement agency. Discipline action by the College may include suspension, expulsion and requirements to make final restitution. NOTES: Portions of this document were taken from similar Appropriate Use Statements from The University of Michigan and Washington State University. "'

Metro)." So that is where the current season stands. Seven games and three weeks separate the Roadrunners from their own Bronco-like shot at revenge. In a strange twist, the next game with the Lopers will be on Friday the 13th of February, which might be a sign of things to come to a superstitious person. Normally at this point in the story, the customary coaches' quote about playing it one game at a time and not overlooking teams is inserted. But not this story - not Smith. There is little doubt that the top two programs in the RMAC reside at Metro and Kearney. And although upsets are possible in every game, it is likely that both

teams will sweep through the next three weeks setting up a game that could decide the regular season conference title and a top seed in the RMAC tournament. "We are almost everybody's rival," Smith said. "Every time we step on the floor, it's the other team's championship game." "We shot horrible and rebounded horrible," said Metro forward Farrah Magee, who leads the team in scoring and rebounding. "Our shots just were not falling." But both Magee and Smith say things will be different next time. Metro will face Regis University on Jan. 23 at the Auraria Events Center at 5 p.m. The Rangers are 9-7, 6-3 and currently fourth in the Eastern Division of the RMAC.
