Candidates gear up for Metro election SGA vice president, chair of lobbying group, journalist vie for presidency

By Perry Swanson The Metro1KJlitan Three presidential candidates for the Student Government Assembly take widely different stands on what the group should do next term and why they entered the race.

Gabriel Hermelin, 31, is assembly . vice president of Campus Communications. She has also been active in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans Student Services office since 1995.

Andy Nicholas is the representative to the Colorado Student Association and is running with a group of candidates called the Student Power Initiative.

The third candidate, Dave Flomberg, has not held a student government office, but he has covered the group as a reporter for The Metropolitan. Flomberg is currently a columnist and copy editor for the newspaper.

The deadline for student candidates to announce a bid for office was March 4, although campaigning doesn 't begin offi-

cially until March 9. Voting is slated for April 6-8.

When she arrived at Metro in 1995, Hermelin said she sought out the services the college provides to students, especially GLBT Student Services. After coordinating the speaker's bureau for that office, moving on to SGA was a natural path .

"I chose as a freshman to invest in my campus," she said. "For me, it's just continuing that investment. The only other avenues would be to be disgruntled Gabriel Hennelln and complain, which is not my way of doing things."

Hermelin said she is proud of student government accomplishments this year in the area of student fees. Jessie Bullock, assembly vice president of Student Fees, and othcr1nembers of the assembly pushed for greater student control over the fees

Pure Energy, an athletic clothing store in the Tivoli, closed Feb. 28, two years before the store's lease was u14 The store, which was located on the second floor near the AMC Theatres, signed a six-year lease in 1996.

Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union and Campus Auxiliaries, said Pure Energy was selling good quality products at a good price but was not selling enough merchandise.

Pure Energy tenants gave a 30-day notice that they would vacate the premise.

Owners of the store could not be reached for comment.

"They weren't making it in our market," Weiske said. '"But they were absolutely good, model tenants."

and helped drafc a new student fee plan.

When the college introduced a new marketing campaign last year, Hermelin said she was concerned that students had been left out of the process. That' s when she hooked up with the college's s pokeswoman Debbie Thomas.

Andy Nicholas Together, Hermelin and Thomas started the Communications Advisory Council.

The committee, made up of students, faculty and staff, works with the office of College Dave Flomberg Communications on Metro's marketing strategy. .

Nicholas, a 20-year-old political sci-

cnce major, decided to run for president only a day before the deadline to register.

It was the same day that President Karmin Trujillo pulled out of the race. Trujillo said she asked Nicholas to run.

Nicholas will lead the initiative ticket, which includes I 0 candidates for other offices. Six on the ticket, including Nicholas, arc assembly members this year.

Nicholas said that as president, he would focus on serving other SGA members.

"I'll be in there mainly as one to make sure that everyone else in the student government gets what they want," he said.

As the CSA chairman, Nicholas has helped coordinate the group's lobbying efforts at the state legislature.

This year, Nicholas said CSA is largely responsible for a bill to o utlaw hazing.

Under the bill, college students convicted of hazing would face s uspension for the rest of the academic year.

Flomberg summarized his campaign

see CAMPAIGN on

Take that!

New tenants are already being considered to replace Pure Energy.

Weiske said Tivoli officials are currently discussing a lease with the Federal Credit Union to till the space the Pure Energy tenants left behind. Wciske said that the space should be tilled by July of 1998.

Auraria officials arc also looking over a series of student surveys done over the past two years. They showed that students wanted the Tivoli businesses to provide services including a dry cleaner drop-off, CD and cassette store, a shoe repair store and a bicycle store. Weiskc said Auraria has already solicited to companies in all the categories suggested by students in the surveys.

The Tivoli had been 100 percent leased for the first time si nce 1994 last month.

Tournament attracts 300

By Kearney Williams The Metropolitan Metro hosted its first speech and debate tournament in nearly 20 years Feb. 27 to March I .

Close to 300 students from 20 schools entered the Downtown Denver Forensics Tournament to compete in debate and individual speech events.

Metro's debate team did not compete but worked the tournament, tabulating scores and assigning judges to debates. It is customary that the college sponsoring the tournament doesn '路l compete, said Scott

Gratson, the Metro debate coach.

The tournaments are divided into two events: parliamentary debate and individual events, such as poetry, drama, prose and informative speaking.

Colorado State University won first, second and third place in parliamentary debate. University of Northern Arizona students won in poetry, prose and drama.

Texas Tech students won in advertisement, persuasion, and speech to inform.

University of Colorado at Boulder students took honors in impromptu speaking and Regis won for extemporaneous speaking.

What~

love got to do with it? Nothing Love.

When two people commit to a relationship, an element of trust must exist for it to work well. When a couple decides to spend life together, with children, it must be rock solid to endure.

Michael BeDan There are money issues, monogamy issues, parenting Perspective issues, possession issues, inlaw issues, mutual friends, exclusive friends, habits to consider, sexual compatibility, intellectual compatibility ... endless. I've been married for more than two years (no children, yet) and already 1 realize this.

One issue that often hinders or, if allowed, destroys, is the in-law/family issue.

If your mom or dad or both don't approve of the one you 've chosen to spend your life with, you have a choice: ignore mom and dad or allow them to interfere.

A tough choice, depending on your relationship with mom and dad.

Sometimes, however, it becomes a bigger issue when the "till death do you part" part comes into play. It happened to several friends of friends of mine.

And, if death isn 't bad enough, in one case a child also lost a mother.

Parents of the dead woman never approved of the relationship to begin with. When she died, mom ancl dad came barging in, gathered the couple's mutual possessions and treated the grieving spouse like an afterthought. Even at the funeral.

Another instance involved a woman whose spouse was financially sound but made the mistake of sharing, like most couples, all their possessions.

The house, the cars, the bank accounts.

When she died of cancer, her family took everything, leaving her spouse nothing.

Life is tough enough when a loved one dies.

When the pain is doubled by greedy or ignorant members of the deceased's family, it can be torture.

Why? Because in both cases the couples were women.

In the g~od ol' U.S. of A., gay doesn't count.

It goes against the Christian Bible. It goes against everything this country was founded on.

That is, if you believe the Christian Bible teaches hate and the country was founded on theft.

And if you read the Bible or know anything about U.S. history, it makes sense.

Unfortunately, love never enters the picture. If a family doesn't approve of a gay relationship and that relationship ends in the death of a partner, the rules of decency and rules that would apply to a straight couple go right out the window.

Now a woman must raise a daughter alone.

Without a house. Without the financial security she and her partner built together.

Another woman lost what was initially hers but shared with her partner the way most straight couples share.

Prenuptial?

Doesn't apply. Gay couples aren't allowed to marry.

Legal avenues? Wills?

Not here. The law doesn't recognize gay couples as real people.

What's love got to do with it?

Nothing.

Not in this case.

Not here.

By Emily Laughlin Feminist leader Gloria Steinem and former Miss America Marilyn Van Derbur-Atler are among speakers scheduled to appear in March al Auraria to celebrate Women's History Month.

Olympic Gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee served as the bridge speaker between Black History Month and Women's History Month. Former pornography actress Linda Marchiano, also known as Linda Lovelace, spoke March 2 about the pornography industry and its exploitation of women.

Such events during Women's History Month have attracted an average of 2,000 people to Auraria during each of the last five years, said Tara Tull of the Institute for Women's Studies and Services.

Throughout the month, speakers will discuss Jewish heroines, home ownership and sexual harassment, among other topics. Steinem will speak March 26 at the Tivoli Turnhalle.

National Women's History Month is a celebration of women's heritage. It originated in Sonoma County, California, in 1978.

Countywide festivities there during the week of March 8 used to be tagged Women's History Week.

The county celebration became nationally recognized in 1981, after national leaders of organizations for women and girls also lobbied for a congressional resolution declaring a National Women's History Week. They succeeded in 1981 with the help of Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Rep. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md. In 1987, the National Women's ~istory Project petitioned Congress to expand the festivities to a month-long celebration. Bipartisan support designated March as National Women's History Month.

Student fees and various sponsorships fund Women's History Month events.

The Institute for Women's Studies and Services, established at Auraria in 1985, organizes most of the events.

Iota Iota Iota, Metro's Women's Studies honor society, and other campus organizations also contribute lo the activities.

medal for the heptathlon and a bronze for the long jump. She won another bronze for the long jump at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Kersee grew up in East Saint Louis, an area infested with drugs and crime. The lack of extracurricular activities there meant that kids had to find their own ways to entertain themselves.

One of those ways was to hold neighborhood foot races, and Kersee said those races sparked her competitive drive.

That desire to compete was exemplified by Kersee's decision to join the school track team even though she is asthmatic.

Kersee said she always believed she could do anything even when others said she couldn't. So she took her asthma med-

icine faithfully and continued with her sport.

"1 can gel on TV if 1 go to the Olympics," Kersee said she thought to herself.

Kersee knew she wanted to go to the Olympics by the time she was 14. Her drive to be the best never faded throughout high school. After graduating from high school in 1980, Kersee won a track and field scholarship at the University of California al Los Angeles.

But Kersee was faced with naysayers, who advised her not to go.

"A lot of people gave me advice not to go (lo UCLA) because it was too far, and they were telling me how hard it was going to be," Kersee said. "1 listened only to positive people."

Once she got lo college, Kersee said

she vowed to do well both academically and athletically.

"God has given me the talent, but 1 had to be mentally ready," she said.

Mental and physical training catapulted Kersee to the 1984 Olympics, but a strained -left hamstring hampered her performance and caused her to doubt her ability.

"I fed myself negative thoughts, I looked in the mirror and said, 'You didn't do what you were supposed lo do,"' Kersee said.

Kersee said self-doubt plagued her after her Olympic debut.

But Kersee said these doubts eventually gave way to a renewed drive to be a better athlete. She didn't heed negative input from herself or other people.

"When people say, 'You can't do

that,' I don't allow that in my mind,'' Kersee said. People must surround themselves with support if they going to make their dreams come true. The only limitations arc the ones people put on themselves, she said.

"You have control of your life," she said. "Ws what you want and how you value your life. Whatever you want you can have if you believe in your heart you can achieve it. If you sit and doubt yourself and listen to the naysayers, you won't do it."

Kersee has since turned in her track shoes and is the president and founder of JJK & Associates, a sports marketing firm.

She has also written an autobiography, titled "A Kind of Grace," and is planning to build a community center in East Saint Louis.

Ex-porn actress says the industry victitnizes tnany

tli~SC(f)

By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan

Linda Marchiano starred in an adult movie, play ing a woman who could orgasm only from performing fellatio. But she was strung out on drugs, beaten and forced at gunpoint to play the part and appear as if she liked it.

Marchiano a.k.a. Linda Lovelace, star of Deep Throat, talked to students March 2 as part of the Towering Issues of Today series about her life experiences and the degradation she suffered from her involvement in the pornography industry.

Marchiano, 49, said she doesn't advocate censorship, but she thinks people should be aware that pornography often goes hand in hand with violence.

She told the crowded audience in the Tivoli that her ex-boyfriend, Charles Trayner, held her prisoner for two and a half years and didn ' t let her out of his sight.

Trayner acted as Marchiano's "agent," marketing her as a prostitute, nude model and pornography actress, she said.

Marchiano said Trayner beat her and mentally abused her while he forced her to use her body as a commodity.

"He thought it was cool to stick a garden hose inside a women's rectum and turn the hose on," Marchiano said of her life with Trayner. "That was one of my punish-

ments for not being the super-sex freak he wanted me to be."

Marchiano said her involvement with Trayner led to the 1972 filming of Deep Throat.

Marchiano said she met Trayner in New York when she was 21 and na'ive, and he first appeared to be a "gentlemen." It wasn't long before they moved in together, but that's when his gentle facade crumbled.

Marchiano said the abuse that ensued was like a horrible nightmare that she never woke up from.

"A woman's body in (Trayncr's) opinion was made to please a man and to be used by a man so a man would never have to work again," Marchiano said.

After three unsuccessful attempts, Marchiano said she finally was able to find someone who helped her escape and protected her from Trayner until she could get herself together again.

She wrote an autobiography, titled Ordeal, in 1980 to share the pain and bruises of pornography. Marchiano said victims of pornography can be anyone of any age.

She said child porn is the biggest selling type of pornographic video.

"We actually produce an instrument here in the United· States ... that you put inside of an infant to make a baby large enough to consume a man," she said. "That baby ruptures and dies."

Black men foil experiment meant to 'fail'

By Claudia Hibbert-BeDan The Me1ropolita11

·..-'

Retired Air Force Col. Fitzroy Newsum knew it would take a lot of hard work to get inlo flight school. But he didn't know how hard it would be until his application to flighl school was 1ejected three times.

He didn'l understand why, but he found out after he received several responses lo lellers he wrote after his third rejection. It was because Newsum is black, and in the 1940s, the military didn't believe blacks had any leadership quality, let alone the capacity to learn to fly a plane.

Newsum finally got his chance afler the Army Air Corps decided to conduct an "experiment" called the Tuskegee Air Anny Field, which was established in January 1941 to train black men lo fly.

Newsum was one of a group of black men known as the Tuskegee Ainnen.

But it was an experimenl that was meant to fail, Newsum, 79, told a group March 3 during a 2-hour lecture/slide show thal spanned his childhood and military career.

"When the program was established

by President (Franklin) Roosevelt, it was labeled an experiment," Newsum said. ''The people in Congress knew it was an experiment and the majority of Lhem hoped that il would go away.

Unfortunately for them, it didn'l go away, thank goodness to a group of fairly gallant young people."

Newsum was born in Manhattan, N.Y., but grew up in Barbados.

He was Laken aback when he came back to the states when he was 12 and was told he couldn't succeed at his goals before he'd even Lried to reach Lhem.

He was admitted to flight school in 1943, four years after he joined the service. He didn't fly in combat during World War II, but he went on to serve in Lhe Korean War and the Vietnam conflict. He is also a member of Lhe Metro Foundation, a group Lhal solicits funds from businesses for scholarships and other Metro programs.

Newsum's lecture included pictures of his family and provided a different view of the soldiers who fought in WWII, young, black men in brand new leather jackets, full of hope and ready to fight.

He also spoke of Lhe white officers who helped train the 15,000 soldiers for various jobs and, in essence, jeopardized their military careers by being associated with a group that the military didn't think would amount to much.

One was a suave-looking Italian, who he called L.G. "It ~as difficult for him because he knew as an officer he wouldn't go anywhere as far as rank was concerned because he was tied together with us who were supposed to be losers," Newsum said. "Good ol' LG." Few people learn about this part of history, aside from what is depicted in the movies or what is squeezed into Black History Month, Newsum said.

But Newsum said they should know that the Tuskegee program was the one of the first to prove that black men, given the chance, could do anything.

Asseinbly candidate would charge Ineinbers for resigning CAMPAIGN from 3

in one statement: "Vote for Dave. Why not?"

Flomberg said his presidency would consist partly of cleaning up messes left by previous administrations. He said he would first assure that all SGA meetings and documents are open to the public.

Now meetings and documents that

·-

concern members or potential members of the group are typically closed, he said.

"At this level there's no reason to hide anything at all," Flomberg said.

Second, he said he would oversee rewriting the SGA constitution. Current SGA members, including Vice President of Academic Affairs Becky Geist, have said the current constitution is too vague.

A committee of students and SGA mem-

bers has been revising the constitution since summer. Flomberg agreed the constitution is inadequate, but the new version is "probably not going to be any better," he said.

SGA members " take themselves way too seriously," Flomberg said. ult's an extension of high school, and anyone who thinks differently is mistaken."

Flomberg also griped about the recent

rash of resignations among SGA members. He said that under his adm"inistration anyone who resigns would have to pay back the last three installments of their $500 monthly stipend.

Of 19 students who registered as candidates in the election, five are running unopposed.

Five of the candidates are incumbents.

Perhaps it's the unique nature of the student body. Unlike typical colleges and universities, Metro draws all ages and all backgrounds. Most students spend minimal time on campus and are detached from intercollegiate events.

Nothing proves that point more than the lack of Metro attendance at the Feb. 25-28 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament at Auraria Events Center. The women's team won the RMAC title, and the men lost in the semis.

Fox Sports Rocky Mountain thought it was big enough to send former Detroit Piston and Denver Nugget Scott Hastings, sportscaster Tom Green and a television crew. But the crowd was, as usual, barren of Metro fans.

So, while student fees rise, buildings are erected, computers are upgraded and replaced, and the athletics programs flourish, student interest will remain minuscule.

And if the dissenting voices that Bullock and others hear continue to complain but refuse to take action, the administration cannot be blamed for its perceived lack of interest in student opinion.

The students, the ones who complain but do nothing, can only blame themselves.

Action speaks

lo~der

I never thought much about the color of my skin until I came to the United States.

I was horn in England. I ended up in the states after my mother married a man in the Air Force. We moved to a predominantly black neighborhood in Claudla Hibbert-Be Dan Inglewood, Calif. This was a change for me, but I didn't think Soapbox much about it. I was only 7.

I started . thinking about it when my family moved to Fontana, Calif., a predominantly white area. This is where I found out I was black. I was 9 years old.

Mine was one of three black families in that area, and I learned quickly that some people didn't like that we were there. My friends and I got into a yelling match over pieces of cardboard in a field with some other kids who lived in the "old houses." Each of our groups wanted them to build a clubhouse. · One of the kids during the confusion bolted for my bike, a brand new I0-speed. I chased and shoved him with all my might, and he did a Pete Rose, a head-first slide, across the gravelly street.

Then someone said the kid was going to get his father, and I'd better leave because he was in the Ku Klux Klan. I didn't know what that meant. But I figured it out as they roared down the street after me in a beat-up station wagon with wood paneling on the sides and bumper stickers with the Confederate nag.

When they called me nigger, I knew it was something had. Their faces were all twisted with hate, and they said my parents had no right to have their house - even though they paid for it like everyone else.

I know all white people in America arcn 't like

that. Some people go out of their way to be nice to me. I think this is why people think aflirmative action is no longer needed in American society.

Most people arc nothing like the guys in that station wagon.

But I've watched people's expressions change when they meet me for the first time after we've talked on the phone. I've had people react really positively to me in interviews only to be told later that they were going with someone else.

I know this kind of thing happens all the time. It happens to everyone at some time or another. But I can't help but question why I couldn't get one job when I had just as much skill and education as the white woman they chose.

I've never wanted to be hired for a job just because I am black, and I don't think the world owes me something extra. I on ly want an equal shot.

Affirmative action is not racial preference for minorities, it just legislates minds. If we truly lived in a color-blind society, we wouldn't need this policy.

My color sometimes dictates how I'm treated and what people think I can do.

Those who cry about minorities getting jobs just because of skin color need to stop and consider how many people have gotten jobs just because they arc white.

People are still judged to a large extent by their appearances.

The way they talk.

The way they dress.

And until such characteristics arc no longer considered b} anyone who is in a posit ion to hire, affirmative action is a necessity.

-· Defenders of student liberty need to stop crying about apathy

Dave Romberg

Jive

Apathy.

It's the charging word of the cause. It's the call to arms and the incitement phrase to take up the reins of leadership.

It's what's to fight against at this school, especially during student government election Lime.

It's perceived as an insidious evil, creeping its way through the halls of this institution, weaving ·its web around the hapless, unsuspcct-

ing masses.

"We've got to get more students involved!" the champions trumpet. "We have to make them feel like their voices are heard! If we fix it. they will come, right~?"

Wrong.

The very idea that the apathy that exists here is an accidental, no-one-gives-a-damn phenomenon is little more than an insult - a proverbial slap in the student body's face. The powers that be need to wake up and look around for a moment.

It's a chosen path.

The reason people don't show up for student foes discussions isn't because they don ' t care. It's because these people have lives outside of the goings on at Metro.

These people have families and jobs outside of this campus and, quite simpJy, don't have the time to get active.

This isn't going to change anytime soon. Not so long as Metro remains a commuter college in a major metropolitan environment.

Fact is, this is not just a non-traditional educational institution. It's as far from a traditional institution as the Cubs from a pennant.

So what to do?

Forget about it.

Several things need to be accomplished on campus, whether or not there're 1,000 people trumpeting the cause. So stop trying to rally a bunch of people who can't be rallied and try focusing on the issues.

You don't need an audience to fix a leaking faucet.

Metro's administration sees the student government as little more than a slightly bothersome housefly in middle of summer.

That opinion isn't going to change anytime soon, either.

What it comes down to is that the student government needs to recognize these unavoidable realities. It needs to cease being an irritating housefly and become an angry wasp.

It needs to realize that its job is to represent the entire student body - not just those who vote - and fly in the face of those who would challenge its constituency wielding an unsheathed stinger.

The student government needs to recogni1c that 17 ,000 students at this school all pay student fees and tuition.

Each and every one of them 1s entitled to the same representation.

The Metropolitan is printed on recycled paper.

Con路s erve energy I confess: I'm a conservati ve.

But I got to thinking a couple weeks ago when Mike Rosen, the KOA radio talk show host. said Metro doesn' t have enough conservati ves among its political sc ience and econom ics fac ulty.

Rosen said he's met many Metro professo rs and almost all were pol itically lihcrPerry Swanson al. The result, he said, 1s that students gel a The point one-sided education. Eventually, they are "indoctrinated" hy the viewpoint professors express, he said.

He even suggested a program of "a!Tim1ative action" for professors with minority - read conservative - ideologies.

My experience at Metro is that more professors call themselves liberal than conservative. I think Metro has more professors who support abortion rights, organized labor ~nd social welfare programs - traditional planks in the liberal platform - than professors who don ' t.

But to test my perception, I sent an e-mail message to 16 faculty members in the political science, economics and journalism departments. I asked for their political afliliations and comments on how their politics affect the way they teach. I also interviewed a few by phone.

Oneida Meranto, a political science professor, seemed to find my questions offensive.

"To suggest any school hire according to political persuasion goes against our academic freedom," Meranto said. "It's none of anyone's business what parties we belong lo.

"Furthennore, to assume our ideology dictates our classroom behavior and the books we use is ludicrous. What Mike (Rosen) really fears is women and people of color, not liberals or ideology."

Other professors, however, admiued their political leanings affect what happens in the classroom.

Erick Erickson, an economics professor, said: "A professor's political beliefs are relevant in the teaching of economics. They determine the material he covers and color his normative analysis."

The Metmpoliuui

think for yourself Erick.son scoffed al the idea that Metro should assure its faculty hold a variety of political beliefs.

"Diversity is a si lly, anti-intellectual instituti onal goal," he said. "Pol it ical diversity would award oflbeal opi nions. I do not rccognite a democracy or ideas."

Journalism Professor Jay Brodell, a registered Republican, said: " I think that my political beliefs are relevant lo the job since they represent the tradit ional a1111ude of working journal ists. In most cases, I would think that a prof should keep strong political bel iefs out of the classroom. Thal goes double for actual endorsements. "(But) professors in political science departments are supposed to be more political than in, say, the math department.

They should be free to express their views. We arc enhanced by the expression of various political views."

Personally, I don't care what my professors' politics are, though it would be nice to think they came from all political stripes. Most effectively present both views. I have left several classes understanding the material hut not knowing for sure where the professor was coming from .

Even if some professors strongly advocate one side, Rosen is wrong to say students arc automatically Indoctrinated. When we spoke on the phone, Rosen said young college students often suffer from soft intellect.

"You ' re dealing .with very unsophisticated, impressionable minds," he said. "These arc pco路plc thirsting to be revolutionaries.

They're thirsting to give in to their idealism."

That's an easy argument to make. Middle-aged loud mouths have made it for thousands of years. But, like Rosen 's position on college professors and conservatism, it is impossible to prove.

I don ' t measure my intelligence by how closely I agree with Mike Rosen or my college professors. No one should.

It's patently anti-conservative to say college students need a shield from ideas and opinions that contradict their own. The heart of conservatism is personal responsibility. and if Rosen thinks he needs to save me from my own ignorant tendencies, perhaps he's not so conservative after all.

Letters Should readers expect denigrating stories?

Editor, I find myself deeply concerned after reading Ricardo Baca's column, "The big chair spells big libido for some" (The Metropolitan, Feb. 20).

It is, at once, obvious that the article was intended to be facetious. However, it seems that if Mr. Baca was attempting to be critical of Gov. Romer and President Clinton's recent supposed behavior, he should have himself refrained from including his own obvious sexist bias.

Apparently, the only merit that Hillary Clinton, Bea Romer, and Monica Lewinsky seem to share, according to Mr. Baca, is respectively, how they may look in a swimsuit and the finnness and size of their breasts.

Are these very personal and sexual references appropriate?

I find them to be unnecessary and offensive.

It seems that Mr. Baca's opinion would have been fully expressed without using such derisive and, let's be frank, overtly

sexist remarks.

Is this the quality of writing that you encourage for The Metropolitan? Mr. Baca is not merely a student submitting an editorial, he is a reporter for The Metropolitan .

This paper, by its own admission, is produced by and for the students of Metro, serving the Auraria Campus.

Should we, the people you serve, expect future articles lo not only be denigrating to women, but perhaps to people of different religions, races, creeds and sexual orientation?

I can only hope that this will not be the case and that in publications to come, we may find journalism of a respectable quality from The Metropolitan.

DO IT!: Michelle Kaye stars In the HorseChart Theatre Company's confusing 'theater nolr' play Dark Rapture. Performances are through March 21 at The Acoma Center, 1080 Acoma St. Tickets are $15. Information: 478-0755.

Too many characters, unclear action spoil the broth in HorseChart's 'noir' play 'Dark Rapture'

c:

' ' Nobody actually sets out to write a bad play," my writing mentor recently told me.

But, he and I both know that there arc a plethora of bad plays out there.

Dark Rapture is one of them.

This attempt at theater noir, a cop off of film noir, was poorly written and a had choice on the pan of HorseChart Theatre Company.

This confusing take at a mystery takes the audience all over the world in search of Ray (Brett Aune), who Hollywood thugs claim has faked his death and stolen their money.

It's a hard-to-follow, overly complex story and not even worth paraphrasing, but in all fairness: Ray is still alive and running fof his life. But he is somehow unbelievably found everywhere he goes by the thugs' henchmen. When he is eventually cornered, his ruthlessly unfaithful ex-wife saves his life, and some of the characters aren't who you think they are.

One critic friend of mine noted the play's "similarity to L.A. Confidential."

Well, I loved that movie, and I thought it was well done, but that was film .

This is theater and is nothing like the aforementioned film On the way out, someone ventured to call it clever, but they must have missed all those B-rate, Eric Roberts movies on HBO that I've seen.

This overdone, irrational storyline is summed up by the terrible, cross-dressing lounge singer who sings Jimmy Buffet songs at intermission: something so horrific you would rather listen to Burt

Bacharach 's Greatest Hits I 00 times over before seeing it again.

The all-around mediocre performance was below HorseChart standards.

Company founding member Scott Blackburn played a disappointingly stereotypical homosexual character.

Philip A. Russell was stiff and an 路 absolute bore - no matter which character he was playing. The supporti ng cast was very mid -grade, and the patchwork of a script didn't help.

One major naw in the material lays in the skipping nature of the play. It goes from California to Caho San Lucas to Northern California to Los Angeles to Seattle to San Francisco to Santa Barbara to Key West - gasp - and that's just in the first act.

The short, awkward scenes don ' t allow the audience a chance to get to know any of the characters, especially since many of the actors arc portraying two characters and the differences between the two arc minute.

Talk about confusing?

I hope Boulder playwright . Eric Overmyer has learned that complex scripts with a lot of characters arc not always the easiest to follow.

As an amateur playwright, I have learned some of the ups and downs of playwriting.

I learned one thing while writing my latest three-characte r, bestial o ne-act.

One of the characters is a dog, and I learned that a dog is hard to cast in performance.

It's the sign of a truly talented playwright: the ability to write an easy-to-follow, generously cast play.

A talented playwright'? This, I am not.

This, Overmyer is not.

'U.S. Marshals' fast, furious and fun

By Dave Flomberg The Metropolita11 .

Tommy Lee Jones is back in possibly the most fitting role of his career.

U.S. Marshals, the sequel to the 1993 blockbuster The Fugitive, succumbs to none of the problems and obstacles that usually plague sequels.

Instead, this flick combines all the best clements of the first -= thrilling action, interesting characters and witty dialogue - with a new formula - political intrigue, more humor and a more challenging nemesis.

This movie is taken from the point of view of Lt. Samuel Gerard (Jones), as he is thrown onto the trail o f escaped assassin Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes). The chase begins in the swamps of the Ohio River after a plane crash and boum:es from Chicago into New York.

Sheridan is an ex CIA black-ops agent, a "kite" that has no official federal strings. He is wanted for the murders of two other agents in New York but maintains his innocence and refuses to be caught until he can expose whoever framed him.

A welcome addition to the entertaining crew of deputies this time around is Diplomatic Security Service agent John Royce, played by Robert Downey Jr. He was friends w,ith the two murdered agents and volunteered to help bring the killer to justice. The deputies don't trust him at first, and his character is kept as ambiguous as possible until the last moment.

The action throughout the film is heated, bordering on intense. Some of the stunts are unbelievable, and the plane . wreck is really loud. But none of this is

LOOK OUT BELOW: Tommy Lee Jones as Lt. Samuel Girard and Wesley Snipes as Mark Sheridan share a touching moment at the edge of a rooftop in the new action-suspense thriller U.S. Marshals. The movie opens March 6. new to the story that garnered Jones an Oscar.

What is new is the vagueness of who are the good and bad guys. While the answer is fairly predictable, the story does a good job of keeping the audie.nce on the fence as the plot develops.

Snipes is an action movie dynamo a physical young buck who can actually act. One of Spike Lee's favorite go-to guys, he has worked his way onto producer Arnold Kopelson's A list with this and his last movie, Murder at 1600.

His only downfall is his inability to be unlikeable, which doesn't make too much difference in this film.

And then there's the deputies.

Fronted by deputy marshal Cosmo Renfro (Joe Pantoliano), the banter and bickering of the group helps to usher the plot through its paces. In The Fugitive, they were a sidenote. Here, they are an intricate part of the plot, which should be revisited should another installment be produced.

Jerry Goldsmith turns in an exception-

al composition this go around. He's handled 路 the scores of nearly 150 movies including L.A. Confidential and Two Days in the Valley. His music underscores and aptly accents what's happening on screen.

Warner Bros. has walked itself into another top-grosser with this effort, by illustrating the old adage; "If this movie is really good, then we should make another one with the same characters and a somewhat different script and see if we can make a lot of money and win some Oscars."

Musical revue pales in comparison to original shows

By Ricardo Baca The Metropolitan Screw the travel agents and their excessive fees.

The Country Dinner Playhouse's latest production can take you around the world for a fraction of that price. From the dusty plains of Oklahoma to the pearly beaches of the South Pacific, Some Enchanted Evening will take you there.

Covering all of Rodgers and Hammerstein's favorites, this musical revue is carried out well but will leave you yawning at times.

You all have heard of songwriter Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, and if you haven't, you know the product of their collaborations.

Such lines as: 'Tm as corny as Kansas in August," epitomize their clean, good natured approach to American musicals.

Art rock - it's back!

Don't get out your seven-sided dice just yet - this isn't the kind of art rock you're probably recalling painfully at this very moment.

Gastr del Sol are arty, yes. Pretentious, too. Even vaguely nonsensical at times. But the kind of art they try to stick in their peanut butter is a far cry from that of Yes, Jethro Tull, and many other bands representative of possibly the most flatulent, overripe musical genre in tiistory.

You won't find any dank Hobbits on Camofleur. No shiny Roger Dean cover art.

No moldy, drippy guitar wanking that tries to transport you to the Seven Pinnacles of Doom and back. No farty lyrics about underwater monsters. None of that crap here to leave you not quite right in the head.

While this CD fares well in comparison to the above, that doesn ' t necessarily mean that's any good. Being the nicest of the damned is a swell thing, bul at the end, you're still damned.

To be fair, Camofleur is a fine piece of work. But it's so repellent and off-putting on the first five or 10 listens that only the hardiest of listeners will be able to carve their way down to where that fineness resides.

There's a lot of different elements competing for attention on this album.

Long instrumental passages, odd noise and fuzz bursts; random and spoken bits (the most interesting of which is a conversation between an unidentified man and a French boy, concerning the farmer's attempt to record the latler sctLing off fireworks) .

Add to that mysterious lyrics courtesy of band member David Grubbs (such as "A louse of a spouse is spice for lice/Meditates/Corpse as corpse as corpse as corpse as corpse," from "Each Dream is an Example"), and several parts where nothing happens whatsover - it's all here.

The effect is pure annoyance at first but gradually hooks the listener in such a way that, after awhile, one has to listen to it over and over. Strange how things work like that.

Grubbs and his bandmatc Jim O'Rourke have always aimed for being interesting rather than coherent, and this album is no deviation from the plan. But unlike on previous releases, such as I996's Upgrade and Afterlife (also Drag City), they manage to make all their random elements gel into a coherent whole.

Gastr de! Sol aren't for everyone, not by a long shot. But if you have time and an attention span unlike the rest of us mere mortals, give Camofleur a try.

Get your musical history straight with Creative Music Works Orchestra

By Dave _.lflomberg _

___

The Metmpoli1a11

Wh.crc can you find the region's top jazz performers playing some or the greatest big band standards ever to sec wax?

You don't have to look very far.

On March 14, the Creative Music Works Orchestra, directed by Metro Professor Fred Hess and featuring Metro Professor Ron Miles, will take a lucky audience on an aural tour hack in time to revisit the work of some of the swing era's most illustrious artists.

The concert, billed as The Music of Co11111 Bll.lie a11d Thad Jon e.r, will be: at the ~ Ho uston Fine Arts Center at Montvicw and Quebec at 8 p.m.

Count Basic has long been heralded as one of the hardest, sit-on-the-beat swingers of all time. His band brought up talents such as Lester Young, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Thad Jones. His compositions gave direction to later swingers like Glen Miller and today 's ncoswingers such as Royal Crown Revue.

Musicians across the spectrum - from B.B. King to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to A Tribe Called Quest - have named Basic as an influence, and his swing statements have depth and meaning even today.

From a player's point of view, Jones' arrangements are among some of the most complicated to play, due to his unique, innovative harmonic structures and melodic texturing. However~ when a band comes together and nails one of his tunes, it swings like no other.

Also performing will be local trumpet lion Hugh Ragin, whose big, bluesy sound should complement the style of the music immensely.

Hess conducts the 12 p.m. big band class at Metro, and his classroom presence lends itscl f to great performances. He's a knowledgeable conductor, a monster player and a patient teacher. He will also be playing tenor at the gig.

'Enchanted Evening' merely enjoyable REVUE from 12

"No man has the right to lead such a life of contemplation as to forget, in his own ease, the service due to his neighbor."

--Augustine

Philanthronv Matters leadership Works The MSCD COOL program is pleased to announce its Spring Volunteer Challenge, open to all Auraria student clubs and/or classes at Auraria.

The volunteer challenge is an event in which groups 'from campus join with local agencies in a competition to ..out-volunteer''each other. Groups will be judged on creativity, initiative, and volunteer spirit. Cash awards will be provided to the top three groups.

classic, conservative musicals focus on childlike lo\'C and the JOY of being alive and have the quality of bringing the audience to the show's locale.

So nalurally, when the songs arc taken out of the framework and placed into the sporadic revue, some or the continuity is lost - even for people familiar with the malerial.

When Randy St. Pierre sings "Surrey With The Fringe On Top"' from OJ...lahoma! while dressed in a cheesy tuxedo, all credibility is lost. The sole cowboy parapirnalia, his black cowboy hat, just didn't do the job.

The six players take the stage and sing lhe innocent ballads and laments, often splitting into couples. The most captivating couple of the evening was St. Pierre and Maureen McHaleDailey. Their long, heartfelt gazes and genuine smiles fit the songs' attitudes ideally.

Playhouse, crooned beautiful alto melodies and was a joy to listen lo and watch. And St. Pierre's charm and wit carried him through the show with the smoothest or ease.

However, Jan Waterman was having everything but a smoolh and grand opening night. During "It's a Grand Night for Singing," she lo:;t her bracelet as it slid off her wrist and across the stage, and two songs lalcr she lost a clip-on earring the same way.

The Playhouse isn't your typical theater. A big, red barn isn't exactly the ideal setting to see a show. Espe1.:ially when the acoustics are bad and the aroma of stale fish fills the room.

But the splendid technical side of the theater, a hydraulic stage that quietly lifts to the ceiling, was impressive and a fun twist to the evening, maktng scene changes smoother than a serene mountain lake.

But Some Enchanted Evening ends up just being a typical revue - one that tries to rehash previously released and overdone material in a fresh and distinctive way.

And that, my friend, is impossible.

Artopia's crusade for art awareness brings together beer, dancing and art appreciation under one roof. In its third year of existence, Artopia challenges the notion that art is only for people named Bi ff and Muffy.

"What Artopia attempts to accomplish is to take a non-traditional art-seeking crowd and expose them to art in a fun and exciting way," said Jason Ornstein, the event's promoter.

The event will be March 7 at the

Denver's Uptown Temple Events Center at 16th and Pearl.

Doors are open from 8 p.m. to I a.m.

Semifinal home slide, men trcivel to S.D. for regional

By Kyle Ringo The M,J!tropolitan

As the shot fel I off the rim an entire team shook its collective head at what it had just done.

It had battled back from a 15-point deficit. It had watched as its leading scorer faltered in the biggest game of the season. It saw another of its members pick up the slack in a dramatic display of marksmanship.

It had lost on its home floor for the first time in more than a year.

The Metro men's basketball team slipped into its locker room a loser Feb. 28 after a 78-75 semifinal defeat to the University of Southern Colorado in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament.

DeMarcos Anzures got the ball with 8 seconds remaining. The Roadrunners trailed by three.

Anzures had missed his first nine three-point auempts in the game, but there was no reason to think he would miss the last.

He had led the team in scoring on almost every other occasion this season. He had nailed a cluster of clutch shots in two years of college basketball.

He had an off night. He finished 1-14.

"We had good looks at the end," coach Mike Dunlap said. "They just didn't go down."

Anzures dribbled down the middle of the court, guarded by one man. Seconds ticked away.

Junior Phillip DeGraffenreid tried futily to get open. He had brought the Roadrunners from 15 points behind with a dazzling display from three-

DeGraffenreid was hemmed in.

Four seconds, 3 ... Anzures had no choice.

The sophomore fired from a familiar spot.

"DeMarcos or Phil needs to take that shot," Dunlap said.

The shot hit the rim, bounced up and away, falling harmlessly to the floor.

Harmless, only in that it was not the last shot of the season.

Metro will play again in the North Central Regional tournament beginning March 6, in Brookings S.D. The Thundcrwol ves had collected their 14th win in a row at Metro's expense. And Dunlap knew his team had just lost to a hot foe.

"They've been mowing people down, and they didn't mow us down," Dunlap said. "It was good character by our guys to battle back."

DeGraffenreid led the Roadrunners with 18 points. All came courtesy of his remarkable touch from three-point range.

Seniors Adrian Navarro and Sidikie Kamara each played their final game in Auraria Events Center.

But the focus quickly changed from the loss to playing again.

The Roadrunners earned their Regional bid thanks to a stellar 24-4 record, with only one loss - this loss - coming at home.

Metro's Milliard cries tears of a crown She cried hardest.

And as each droplet of satisfac-· tion saturated her cheeks Feb. 28 arter her team had won a championship, you couldn't help but Kyle Ringo feel good for Angela Milliard.

The spine tingling feeling brought on by watching her cut down her piece of the net, as her family watched from bel-0w, taught everyone who knows her a lesson. yes, sometimes, people are capable of accomplishing the unexpected. But more importantly, good people don't nec• essarily finish last.

For the record, Milliard finished her last home game as a member of the Metro women's basketball team with a line in the box score as modest as her personality.

In 8 minutes of action she didn't score a point, pull down a rebound, steal a pass or tum over the ball. In fact, according to the box score, Milliard started the game at forward and played 8 minutes in what was, at that point, the most import~nt game of her life.

But what statistics don't show, memories wi II reflect.

Milliard left Auraria Events Center a champion.

"I can't say what it meant," Milliard said. "Obviously it meant a iot."

She can't put the feeling into words just yet, but watching the emotion spill out of her eyes tells you all you need to know.

She has never cried on the basketball court before.

It's a refreshing thing really. Milliard is a talented athlete who cares deeply about her performance, her team, her coach and her conduct.

By all accounts, from those who know her well, like Kristi Baxter who

played with Milliard all four years of college, to those who have spent just one season in her company like Gabi Sandoval who transferred to Metro before this remarkable season, Milliard is a pleasure.

"I've never said, 'Angela, will you work hard?' " coach Darryl Smith said.

"She has worked hard every day she's been here.

"She symbolizes our team."

Milliard has played at Metro for three years, which makes her the veteran on a team filled with transfers and underclassmen.

Since transferring from Northeastern Junior College in Sterling with Baxter after her freshman season, she has epitomized the Angela Miiiiard overachieving player.

Milliard, at 5foot-8, often guards the opponents' tallest and most physical players. Sometimes that means giving up six or eight inches in

height, which you might think leaves Milliard at a disadvantage. But she refuses to be bullied. She simply outworks the competition.

Her parents, one an oil and gas company executive, the other a registered nurse, taught her to always do her best. Part of it is instinctive.

"You could give her a brand new sport tomorrow, and she would probably pick it up," her father Ken Milliard said.

Truth be told, it is title No. 2 for Milliard. In her first season at Metro, the Roadrunners knocked off the University of Denver to win the Colorado Athletic Conference. She came off the bench in that game.

But Milliard adm its there is something more special about winning this Tim Batt/Tire Metropolitan time.
