Faculty Senate awaits answers Metro professors want to know if college will speed up back pay By Jesse Stephenson 711e Metmpofllan

Metro President Sheila Kaplan agreed March 9 to give the Faculty Senate information on how many professors are participating in the college's program to distribute back pay. Monys Hagen, president of the Faculty Senate, said the group requested the data to find how much the college has saved since professors who retire become ineligible to participate in the program. Kaplan promised in 1996 to dole out about $1 million to certain professors who made less than their peers at colleges similar to Metro. The 1996 plan stipulates that professors get a portion of the lump sum each year until the year 2001 or until they retire, whichever comes first. Professors are allocated back pay according to criteria such as their length of employment at the college. At the outset of the plan, 175 Metro professors were eligible to receive back pay, according to Sandi Jones, director of Personnel and Payroll Services. Jones said she hasn't yet calculated how many are still eligible. Hagen said the Faculty Senate will push the college to hand out the remainder of the back pay immediately if the group discovers the college's payment obligation has been substantially reduced because many professors retired. "If there is money in there that is not being used, why can't it benefit the faculty?" Hagen asked. But Kaplan said no matter how much the college might be saving, she has no intention of doling out the
money over a shorter period. "We're going to pay off those payments according to our schedule," Kaplan said. "There's an assumption by some people that I'm sitting on large pots of money, but every dollar I give for (back pay) comes from somewhere else." Hagen said_ an earlier disbursement of the money would present a fresh opportunity for the faculty and administration to explore ways to compensate professors who make less than their peers elsewhere but weren't eligible for the program in 1996. Many Metro professors greeted the plan with disdain when it was first unveiled because Kaplan decreased summer salaries to free up funds for the program. , Total payment to people on the back pay plan ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, Kaplan said. Faculty Senators passed a resolution March 4 demanding the college hand over the pack pay information by April I. Metro professor John Schmidt, the author of the resolution, said the data will show whether the college will end up paying a full $1 million to alleviate salary inequities. Kaplan told The Metropolitan that figure was a "dynamic" sum, meaning Metro will pay professors what they are owed under the 1996 plan but nothing extra. Longtime Metro professors say they've been aware of salary inequities since the mid- l 980s and 60 are suing the college on grounds they 路haven't been paid on par with professors at other colleges. The group first filed suit in 1993.

Sports logo design dodges controversy By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletics redesigned the look of Metro's mascot to have a more aggressive identity without involving itself in the controversy that surrounded the college's nickname during the fall semester. Members of Metro's Student Government Assembly were unsuccessful in fighting the college's adoption of the new nickname, The Met, which was printed on T-shirts, bumper stickers, college stationary and other items. College administrators said the nickname was devised as a way to shake people's association with the name Metro to a "second-rate" institution. The Roadrunner logo, a capital M with a roadrunner head over it, was introduced at a basketball game Jan. 23. The college's full name, is in small print at the bottom of the logo. Mark Cicero, Metro's sports information director, said Intercollegiate Athletics decided last July that it wanted to be included in Metro's collegewide new identity campaign. But Cicero focused on changing the look of Metro's sports logo without using the college's nickname. "We took the stand," Cicero said. The student government wanted Metro on the new logo, and the college administrators wanted
The Met. Cicero decided to go with the college's full name so the issue wouldn't divide people at the college. Cicero said the logo should encourage involvement not controversy. "The school can rally around the new roadrunner, build a tradition around it," he said. "We want the whole school to be unified around a common logo." William Helman, Metro's athletics director, said Intercollegiate Athletics wanted a logo that would stick. The old logo featured a cartoon Roadrunner, and the new one has a realistic looking roadrunner's head. "We felt it would help us put the image of the school out there as something people can identify (us with)," Helman said. New uniforms will get the updated Roadrunner logo as uniforms are replaced over the seasons, Helman said. Most Metro teams, except tenni s and baseball, finished their seasons when the new logo debuted. Only the baseball team's caps have the new Roadrunner on them for this season. The Roadrunner has been the school's mascot since 1974 when it replaced Metro's first mascot, the Mustang. Students acquired the Roadrunners as a nickname to describe how they were often seen dodging traffic to get to and from class.

Boom puts squeeze on art building budget Auraria planners will request extra state money to make up for rising cost of construction By J~ Stephemon The Metropolitan 路 Colorado's bright economic times are casting a shadow on Auraria's development plans. Statewide demand for construction services has caused the estimated cost of building the campus performing arts complex to jump almost $3.8 million, said Dean Wolf, Auraria's executive vice president for Administration. Wolf said he'll know exactly how much extra money Auraria will need for the building by fall, but one thing is certain: Auraria needs a watertight case for why it needs more money before it asks the state legislature and private donors to pick up the tab. "We're not going up there to ask for anything without a good reason for it," Wolf said. Colorado lawmakers approved $34.6 million for the project in 1996, but mandated that the three colleges at Auraria raise an additional $2 million. Auraria administrators say they will submit a list of construction-related cost increases this summer to the Capital Development Committee, the legislative group that recommends how much state money should be spent on the arts building. For example, Wolf said precast concrete is much more expensive now than it
Capitolisrns
was in 1996. Precast concrete blocks are specially molded in a factory and shipped to a construction site. The demand for prccast concrete in Colorado has increased so much recently that factories can't fill all the orders - and charge more for the orders they accept "You place your order nine months in advance to buy a time slot from the manufacturer; you pay money up front and you pay penalty if you change the time slot," Wolf said. "Some people out there are brokering time slots - we are in a very volatile time for construction." Sen. Dottie Wham, R-Dcnver, chairwoman of the Capital Development Committee, said the group has made some allowances for the increased construction costs across the state. Dick Feuerborn, Auraria's director of Facilities Planning and Use, said the precision with which Auraria documents its expenditures to the Capital Development Committee will impact how seriously the committee takes future requests for campus construction money. Wham agreed. The next state-funded project Auraria is planning for the campus is a technology classroom building. "We don't want to give them the thought that whenever we think when there's a problem we'll go up there and ask for more money and the problem will be solved," Feuerborn said. Keeping costs of the building in check
means Auraria administrators constantly haggle with art and music professors over what's essential. One portion of the structure, which will be built adjacent to the Plaza Building, is devoted to classrooms. The performi ng arts section of the building will feature concert and recital halls in addition to production related classrooms, such as a costume lab and setbuilding shop. Art and music professors from Metro, the University of Colorado at Denver and the Community College of Del\ver met with Auraria to hammer out the details of the Dottle Wham perfonning arts segment of the building. Hal Tamblyn, chairman of Metro's music department, is one of the instructors advising Auraria on what types of classrooms are needed in the new arts complex. Tamblyn said he and the other professors targeted some basic elements the building needs, such as a large auditorium, to properly teach music and theater students at Auraria. Auraria doesn't have any formal performance areas on campus, so music and theatrical productions are performed in off-campus auditoriums, such as those at
South High School and the University of Denver. "Students just don't get the right training unless they get to rehearse in a performance路 hall," Tamblyn said. "Right now we're basically a travelling road show." Feuerborn said Auraria has to consider the cost palatability of every suggestion Tamblyn and the other professors make to prevent further strain on the budget. "We have been really trying to ratchet down on them and say, 'O.K.; do you really need this?"' Feuerborn said. " But we want to make sure we're not designing a complex that dictates that you can't do certain things because we didn't design it right." Metro President Sheila Kaplan said some of the costs of the building could be offset by raising more than just $2 million from private donors. Kaplan said portions of the complex will probably be named after the most generous contributors. "Obviously, our goal is to raise as much as we can. The goal right now would buy us a Chevrolet of a building, we want to raise enough for a Buick," she said. Wolf said the colleges and Auraria will begin soliciting money this summer, and he'll request additional funds from the legislature this fall. Wham said that, so far, Auraria's cost projections for the arts building have been well documented.
Candidate investigator seeks student interns By Reem Al-Omari The Metropolitan A national non-partisan organization is looking for students to help collect information on more than 13,000 candidates and elected political officials for the 1998 election year. Project Vote Smart, which was founded in 1988 but started making its information available to the public in 1992, is an internship program that investigates congressional, gubernatorial and legislative candidates around the nation. "Interns get a chance to use and develop their skills in a stimulating environment as they work to clear the clouds of lies and deceit that plague our political campaigns," said Jennifer Stewart, the organization's internship coordinator. Interns for Project Vote Smart interview candidates, do background checks, research issues for the organization's Web site and work with political reporters covering federal and state campaigns.
Adelaide Elm, communications director at Project Vote Smart, said the background checks usually consist of verifying candidates' job histories. "We're not looking for scandals," Elm said. "We're simply trying to get the public good information on their candidates." Elm said the internships offered by her program are appealing to students majoring in political science, communications and journalism. The organization's headquarters are housed in Boston and Corvallis, Ore. Interns must be available to work full time for I 0 weeks to be eligible for the $1 ,000 scholarship, and Stewart said the program tries to assist interns find living accommodations at both sites. The organization was founded by a group political officials and activists, including U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, and John Echohawk, a member of the Native American Rights Fund. see VOTE SMART on 9

a scholarship, the Pamela MclntyreMarcum Memorial Scholarship, which was established in 1991, to help survivors of domestic abuse pursue their educati·on at Metro. Michaela, who started attending Metro in 1995, helps choose award recipients and hands out the awards at a reception. This year's reception will be May 6 at the Governor's Mansion. An award of $250 is given to part-time students and $500 is awarded to full-time students at Metro. Scholarship funds come from tickets to the reception, which are $7 for students and $14 for Metro facpl-ty. Twelve recipients will be awarded with the scholarship this year. "I feel good about people getting a lot of education from the scholarship," she said. "I did choose to come to Metro because Mom had been here." An assistant pastor at Michaela's church told her about her mother 's murder a few hours after the incident. "I almost broke a car window," Michaela said. "I was very upset." Michaela spent eight years in therapy for help dealing with the incident.
She stopped therapy during her junior year in high school, but three years later she was suffering from mood swings and went back. On the anniversary of her mother's death each year, she takes someone special with her to place a bouquet on her mother's grave. "I didn't eat, and I didn't want to talk to anyone," Michaela said. "I kept to myself a lot." Bruce and Shelly Wilhelm, Mclntyre-Marcum's friends, took care of Michaela and her brother, Brendan after the incident. Mcintyre-Marcum had befriended Bruce Wilhelm when he was her student at Metro. Michaela said she and her brother would have been put in an orphanage if it weren ' t for the Wilhelms. Pamela Mcintyre-Marcum was . involved in numerous activities as a faculty member at Metro. She was the faculty advisor for Phi Chi Theta, a business marketing honor society, and she was also a member of Metro's Board of Publications.

• C-Store shrinks in size, convenience Auraria administrators made a bad move when they let the Campus C-Store take its new space in the Tivoli. The convenience store used to sit between Council Travel, a travel agent, and Tivoli Copies. It opened next to Hammond's, a Claudia Hlbbert-BeDan candy and ice cream shop, this semester. Soapbox The owners wanted to move the store from its former 1,435 square foot space to its new 1,015 square foot space because the location was more prominent, said Diane Pike, the C-Store's manager. "And it has worked," Pike said. Her boss concurs. Neil Wykes, the C-Store's owner, estimates that sales have increased by 10 percent, although he didn't have exact numbers March 11. Wykes also owns Hammond's. He acquired the ice cream shop last November. Barb Weiske, the director of the Tivoli Student Union and Campus Auxiliaries, said buying patterns show that location is key in a convenience store's success. People aren't always in search of sweets, muffins or soda, but once they're passing by ... But go in the convenience store around noon. It's hard for people to even walk around in there at peak times, and a wheelchair couldn't make it around most comers. Sometimes people's backpacks get in the way when they're trying to pass each other. As soon as patrons walk through the door, they're bombarded by candy to the left, cashiers in the middle, self-serve on the rig~t and lots in between, including on the floor in the aisles. A big round pillar blocks one way around one of the candy carousels, and trash cans take up space near the fountain drinks. Have you seen some of the motorized wh~el chairs that some students use on campus? They' re pretty bulky.
Auraria has complete say on where businesses can stake their claims in the Tivoli. A credit union that will take over the space where Pure Energy, a sportswear shop, could have been turned away if the administrators thought it wouldn't serve the students, Weiske said. She had no reason to believe that the C-Store's move might keep some from even going inside. Auraria mandates businesses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act to even take residence in the student union. And the Campus C-Store does. But imagine you use a wheelchair. At lunchtime, you'd better know what you need and where it is because there 's no room for browsing. Pike said the store only lost storage space. But enough students have shown concern for Weiske to request a meeting with Wykes and the Food Service Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, to address accessibility concerns. SACAB representatives also said they'd heard complains about the tight space in the C-Store, but Wykes said he's more than willing to work with Auraria to help make things more accessible. "Certainly with the size of the store and the business we're doing, there's a lot of people in the store at various times during the day," he said. "I believe when the store was put together, the ADA requirements were met in terms of aisle width and things like that, but that doesn't really go far enough to address when the store is full of people. "If things need to be done to the store to make it more conducive to the customers, we are the people who make the decision to do it. Quite frankly, I was not aware of an issue. If there is an issue, we'll take steps to correct it." Let's hope so. A convenience store should, at the very least, be convenient for everyone.

Student apathy no reason to stop trying. As a political science major, I hate the word apathy. As a student leader on this campus, I absolutely despise it. But yes, it does exist, and unfortunately it is unavoidable no matter where you are on campus or off. It's not a reason to slop trying though. This letter is in reference to Dave Flomberg's column in Jessie Bullock the March 6, 1998 newspaper called "Defenders of student liberty need to Forum stop crying about apathy." Columnist and copy editor for The Metropolitan and student body presidential candidate Dave Flomberg said people choose to be apathetic because they don't have time lo do otherwise. Or maybe they just don't want to care. He said the student government needs to stop caring about what the students think and "focus on the issues." Guess what Dave? I find it quite easy to "focus on the issues" and communicate with the students at the same time. Guess what else? Getting elected to student government (or any other elected position) doesn't give a person free reign to make decisions without consulting his/her constituents, even on a commuter campus with nontraditional students. Back to Political Science 100 or IOI - a representative democracy means elected representatives should keep in touch with the people who elect them. That's what the student fee discussion panel on Feb. 25 was about. I wanted to make sure the students had access to information and the opportunity to ask questions. I feel that goal was achieved successfully. I did say people complain and then don't come to events like the panel. Maybe that is apathy, but it is also a fact of Ii fe. Should I accept that and not try anymore? No. Maybe I am too idealistic, but even if that event, or any other event on this campus, only helped one student, it was completely worth it. I have a family and a job outside of campus, and I choose to be involved in this campus as much as possible. Maybe the type of campus and institution is a good excuse for the lack of involvement and particip~tion on this campus. But I think many more students are involved in different things going on at this campus than anyone knows. No, Dave, "You don't need an audience to fix a leaking faucet." I solve many small problems that are similar to a "leaking faucet" every week. I don't ask the students to get involved in every decision I make. But when a water pipe has broken and threatens to flood the campus, to continue your methodology, I think as many people as possible should be involved in the discussion to "fix the pipe." Fee increases are important, and I would never c.onsider .making a decision without at least trying to talk to students and get information to the students I serve. You said the SGA needs to represent all 17,000 students, not just the people who voted. I don't have a list of everyone who voted for me, and such a list is no concern of mine. I work hard to serve everyone equally. I don't ask a student if he/she voted for me before I agree to help them. I have enjoyed my time in the SGA. I thank everyone who has hel~d me in the past year. I have learned a lot, and I would like to think that I made a difference on this campus. As a sidenote: I find it interesting that Dave Flomberg is using his weekly column to communicate his political views regarding issues on this campus. I question how fair that is to candidates who aren' t given the outlet of a weekly column to share their viewpoints. I can't wait until the official, legal campaigning begins on March 9 so I can hear from other candidates. I'm looking forward to your weekly attempted subliminal message of ''this is why you should vote for Dave" columns.

Candidate committed to advocacy issues After reading last week's issue of The Me1ropoli1a11, my reaction was simple. Presidential candidate Dave Flomberg has little interest ill student advocacy or appreciation for campus involvement. Dave, you set your position on student apathy by stating in your column that "it's a chosen path," how it "isn't going to change Andy Nicholas anytime soon" and that we shou ld just "forget about it." ls that type of resignation and Forum just "forget about it" attitude what our campus needs? You say you will "assure that all SGA meetings and documents are open to the public." Well, Dave, the meetings are open to the public, and copies of meetings proceedings are available at any student's request, even yours. Personnel i!lsues, like hiring or firing, are always heard privately. It's Colorado law. You think student government is merely "an extension of high school." If you have such a poor regard for the SGA, why are you running? You make it very clear that you won't work with anyone, from students to administration. If you think by stating that nobody needs "an audience to fix a leaky faucet" justifies never seeking student input, you are grossly mistaken. With the state of Metro's leaky faucet, combined with your lack of involvement with the SGA and poor student advocacy history, you are nowhere near a qualified plumber. While rebuffing the students, you propose attacking the administration, exhibiting the SGA as an "angry wasp" with an "unsheathed stinger." Your strong language didn't last long. Only a few lines later you say the administration "sees the student gov-
ernment as little more than an irritating housefly" and that "that opinion isn't going to change anytime soon." Which is it, a force to be reckoned with or an ineffective assembly? Well, I guess you don't care, as long as you get elected through one stance or the other. As for my ticket, the Student Power Initiative, we arc committed to working with the administration and faculty to create a full week Fall break during Thanksgiving as well as defending the current grading system from plus/minus additions. Your ultimate priorities once in office are, at best, unclear. However, you say that we should "stop trying to rally a bunch of people who can't be rallied (the students) and try focusing on the issues." OK, let's talk about the issues. The Student Power Initiative stands for more students of color in campus decision-making, a more effective parking system and better access to student services for evening and weekend students. If elected as a whole, our group is committed to these and many other advocacy issues. Now that's a band with a cause, not j ust a loose cannon without aim. So what issues arc you going to "try" focusing on, Dave? Making already open to the public SGA meetings open to the public? Or perhaps valiantly doing nothing about the lack or student involvement and student apathy? To wrap up your whole campaign you say, "Vote for Dave. Why not?" Well, I say, Don't vote for Dave. Why bother?

Conservatives don't need affirmative action Editor, I recently read an article about an issue relating to affirmative action. (The Metropolitan, March 6) Perry Swanson deserves commendation for thinking for himself. 1 believe that the professors in the Metro Political Science department reflect the progressive student body. What is ironic Lo me is Mike Rosen (a conservative radio host) wanting an affirmative action program for conservative teachers. How can affirmative action be opposed by most conservatives and then be demanded as a means to implement conservative teachers? Using right-wing rhetoric, cannot these "minority" teachers pull themselves up by the boot straps and overcome unfair treatment? The answer is no. There needs to be conscious individuals who trust themselves to see injustice and label it as such. Then we need to wait and listen and watch to see what is happening. Finally, we must do all that we can to ameliorate injustice. Students are not smart until their knowledge is shared with others. I would support a balance between liberals and conservatives in the Political Science department because students need to see the extremes of both sides, not be prodded into supporting one or the other. I confess that I am an Anglo-American male feminist, and I am also an education student who realizes the need for diversity. I also believe affirmative action will ensure the opportunity for women and people of color (individuals who have not been ·acknowledged as intellectuals or even humans for too long) to be heard and be able to have control. Republican Conservative or Democratic Liberal does not matter, right? All that is important is the need for an assortment of different individuals. The real issue here, as Oneida Meranto points out, is "(the) fear (of) women and people of color, not liberals or ideology." The overwhelming male perspective is what needs adjustmenls.
And how can conservatives want diverse conversations when only a white male viewpoint is presented? This very reason is why affirmative action is essential to the progress of American society. Meranto is right-on for exposing the nakedness of chauvinist attitudes, such as Rosen's. (By the way Mr. Rosen, be careful who you judge as unsophisticated because my idealism will change the world while your conservative boat sinks in despair and monotony.) The opposition to affirmative action is scraping and clawing to slow down the advance or equality. This fear is a power issue because white males will no longer have omniscient say-so over America. Right wingers will not allow themselves to stop talking long enough to listen to what others have to say. I ask this to the student population, "Can you respect a teacher who does not recognize that you arc a woman or that your mother is the reason you are alive, or that you may have a different opinion because of your ethnicity? Can you learn from a teacher who degrades your desire for equal opportunity?" Erick Erickson, are there only He teachers? This lexical bias is trite and insignilicant, as some would say, but this sexism seeps into the consciousness of students and teachers. Your selfish attitude excludes important ideas. ,There needs to be a more critical attitude of our education, as Swanson demonstrated with initiative, so that we all can be contributors to the future. Look around at who lives in the ghettos and barrios of America. Then look to see who has the most money in American corporations. There is a definite need for women and people of color to receive a fairer share or the pie. Trust yourself to support all human beings. Don't be greedy.

Metro theater a treat in memorable 'Man of La Mancha' By Ricardo Baca The Metropolitan
Many people have a special memory of the musical Man of La Mancha. Some love the music. Others use Don Quixote's lofty alliludc as a metaphor for extracting the most out of life. And the windmill scene - who could forget that? Bul all biases aside, none of this is obtainable if the onslagc and offstage chemistry isn 'l. A successful and valiant effort, Metro's production of La Mancha grasps the right chemicals in timely and wellacted fashion.

BELOW: Menard attempts to lance Erik Schnitzer as the barber, who holds the coveted Golden Helmet of Mambrino. The production, which runs through March 14 at 7:30 p.m., Is sold out, but a waitlist is available an hour before each performance. Photos courtesy of Metro theater.
It's almost as if Metro is suffering from a lack of tenors and sopranos. The lead and ensemble pieces lack the power the upper octaves often bring. The supporting cast does something unusual for a college production: they actually support the action and move it forward. Their interested looks are genuine
and their sense of ensemble is sincere, complimenting their well-directed energy. Joaquin Liebert's overdramatic, allgrins Sancho is lovably animated and makes you want to make spoons with your best friend, but he is trying too hard to be see MANCHA on 17

Bombarded by the Bard Theater on Broadway gives frantic new life to classics By Pamela Thompson

Arc you looking for Y,Our 15 seconds of fame? The Comp/eat HiJrks of Slw!•espeare (Abridged) may be your answer. The program may only feature three actors on stage, but this show thrives on audience participation. Whether you are being vomited on or cast as Ophelia's inner voice, come prepared to be in the spotlight. And don't think that you're safe hiding in the back, either. It's a small theater, and this cast has a lot of energy. They have to. Matt Miller, David Russel and Rob Trcntadue run a hit-and-miss marathon in high-lop Converse through all 37 of Shakespeare's plays. They focus mainly on the tragedies because the "comedies aren't really half as funny as the tragedies." Unfortunately the comedies arc rushed through so quickly, their wit is missed. Laughter thinned out a Jillie when all I 6 comedies were put together into a makeshift five-act play. References to the comedies could not stand alone and weren't funny unless one knows the comedies. This is the only part of the show that leaves the Shakespeare laymen behind, but the references are made so quickly that even those who do know Shakespeare are left scratching their heads like lice-
infested Renaissance groundlings. The rest of the show is truly devoted to making Shakespeare more understandable and enjoyable to the spectators. At times it may seem that the script makes a mockery of the Bard's work, but had he been there to sec the spectacle, he, too, would have chuckled out right. This show not on ly highlights how timeless his sense of humor is but also how classless. Shakespeare should not be reserved for the literary geni us but should also be shared with anyone with a healthy sense of humor. As for Miller, Russel and Trcntaduc, they arc brilliant. For as long as the show has been running, you would think they'd be bored with it. Instead they appear as young school boys, lost in their role-playing imaginations. It is hard to believe they arc not responsible for the script itself. The language seems to mold around the performers as though it is their own creation, especially Russel. Refusing to do "vomitlcss Shakespeare" and given the honor of playing the role of all the tragic (often hysterical) women, he proudly sports various bright red wigs. Running, vomiting, spitting, screaming and playing with the audience, he demands their focus. This show is worth the agony of trying to find the tiny Theatre On Broadway. If you get lost, don't get discouraged. It is worth the trouble to sec these players give a fresh and modern perspective on Shakespeare. And if finding the theater lsn 't enough of an adventure for you, try sitting in the front row. Comp/eat Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) is playing at Theatre on Broadway at Broadway and Ellsworth Street through April 4. Performances arc on Friday and Saturday at 7:30. Tickets arc $10 to $18. For reservations, call 777-3292.

Go swing with The Nightmare Fighters By Ryan Bachman The Met1V/H>l1w11
Swing and ska arc paving the way for fun and possible success for a local ninepicce band, The Nightmare Fighters, with a new CD and future west coast tour. Ron Green, a Metro senior and guitar player for The Nightmare Fighters. and drummer Recd Sikora will spend all or next week combing the Northwest talking to venues in search or summer dates and exposure to a fresh audience. Their hope is to take another step toward taking the 3and-a-half-year-old group '"all the way." The band started around the time they were all attend111g high school in Littleton and first gaining exposure to ska hands. They were inspired to start a ska group after seeing a Blue Meanies show and similar bands at the Mercury Cafe. They hung around the area playing gigs for the next couple of years and have since been put on hold because singer Jason Adams and guitarist Joey Coloroso attend school on the East coast. Since the two members' departure, the band can only get together to play on breaks and during the summer. For their last show on New Year's Day, they opened up for the Cherry Poppin' Daddies at the Bluebird Theater. Green said it was a particularly big show for the band to play, given the following for the Daddies, and it was a pivotal moment for them to decide whether they should pursue their music further and really commit to it. Green said the show went well and seemed well received by the audience, so after this spring semester the members of The Nightmare Fighters will reunite with full-blown commitment in mind, hoping to play shows in Oregon and Washington. Green describes the overall sound or The Nightmare Fighters as a "swing Ska variety show." He said they like being able to jump from one style to the other depending on the audience. Green said their primary focus when starting the band was having fun, and until now, the notion of furthering the band was undecided. This summer the band will face two more hurdles when they wi ll lose Kris Hendrik, the trombone player, to a twoyear Mormon mission and saxophone player J.R. Byrd who won a scholarship to Indiana State. The band will audition musicians to till the void. The members currently completing The Nightmare Fighters arc Ashley Copen (bass), Ryan Davis (trombone/vocals) and Adam Ubowski (trumpet/mouth. harp). The band has a CD available over the Internet at http://www.joesgrille.com or at greenro@mscd.edu.

droll. His emphatic, hard-to-understand line delivery might actually leave behind or edge out a couple of laughs. And all of this happened in scenic designer and Metro theater Professor David Kottenstette's dungeon. A tapestry of dirty fall colors flooded the floor, leading to the base of the intimidating, 16-foot stone walls. His final product honestly makes me rethink my limited view: You can only do so much with a black box theater. The only drawback: characters are obviously having to crouch down when exiting the upper stage left corner. A lighting beam is the obstacle, and a window placed too close to the corner gives the audience a great view of the players awkwardly stooping. Sadly enough, one of the show's most playful and hummable songs, "I'm Only Thinkin' of Him," is tainted by b_oring staging and off-beat and off-pitch singing. But a potent song, "Golden Helmet of Mambrino," was very powerful with strong harmonies and perfect timing only to be intensified by forceful lights.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ANO STUDENTS Speaker: Mory Lou Fenili Time: 12:30 Place: Tivoli 329 Mory Lou Fenili. Assistant Vice Chancellor of Academic and Student Affairs for UCO. will talk about sexual harassment on college campuses and the impact on students.
The lighting grid is impressive throughout the production. The mood lighting fits the stage's attitude with simplicity and exactness. However, the players' blocking often carries them out of the grid's defined reach while they're still involved in the scene. This is very bad as they are unintentionally lost in blackness at pivotal moments. Also lost in shadows were characters wearing hats. Intentional or not, it was distracting and a bother to not be abfe to see the players' faces. Another strong element was the choreography. F~om the fun-loving dancing horses to the dark, vigorous rape scene, the choreography was carried out exceptionally. Hetzel's direction is the tie that binds the production together. The most impressive part of the evening is the cooperation that, in turn, created placid transitions, scene changes and a natural sense of togetherness. A smooth scene transition is everything but easy, but Hetzel 's honest, effortless approach to blocking and staging made them unnoticeable.

Ismael A Lozano has created a few of the more colorful and sizely oils, one of which, his Never Forget, is an engaging outlook at the racism and terror inflicted by the KKK. Never Forget shows a malicious parade of Klan figures, all masked, leading the slaying of the Mexican people. In the foreground, one of the white-headed beings is wielding a sickle tainted in blood like the Aryan reaper with a swastika tattoo and a crucifix, signifying a moral and social paradox.

-music reviews------Billie Myers Growing Pains Universal
"'
"Naked, I like you naked. And when I fake it, you like me more." So sings Billie Myers in her song, "Tell Me," in which she ~ontemplates what it would be like to experience a Freaky Friday-esque change with her lover. Myers' first song to enter the mainstream's consciousness " Kiss The Rain," is a song is which she tells her man to go outside and kiss the rain if he gets tempted to cheat on her. It's a part-parano id, part-
comfort song, a song Myers· belts out from so mewhere deep inside. Myers' wnung style is very touchy feely, trying hard to be both deep and clever. Her sound is virtually indescribable. "Tell Me" has a Middle Eastern feel to it, while " Kiss The Rain," is a power ballad, and several songs are downright mellow. Growing Pains constantly walks the fine line between
innovative and emotion, stirring or stupid. "Mother, Daughter, Sister, Lover," is an example of the latter. Songs about an attraction to someone else's man ("You Send Mc Flying") and a relationship's demise ("A Few Words Too Many") can too-quickly be labeled "chick songs," but keep in mind Myers' music is incapable of being categorized. While Growing Pains can be a jagged pill to swallow in its entirety, if listeners attempt to listen without prejudice, they may find an album worth listening to. -by Sarah Heiman

'
It's over and feel like smoking a cigarette. The best basketball season in Metro's history ended March 7 in a S.D. Brookings, Kyle Ringo arena when the Metro men's team lost its Regional semifinal matchup with South Dakota State on that team's home floor. The Metro women's team lost its first round Regional game M 1rch 6 to the University of Northern Colorado in Grand Forks, N.D. Two losses to end the season might disappoint on other campuses. But at Metro, these losses amounted to the finale of a helluva fireworks show and a season worth watching for more than just the game. Both teams made it to the Regional round of the NCAA Division II tournament in the same year for the first time. And each team matched Metro's best previous efforts in the tournament. The women posted their best record (25-5) in history. The men went 13- 13 last season and were not highly regarded by the top teams in the Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference. This season they became the top team in the regular season RMAC. But the winning is only a small part of a special season in this corner. If you wercn 't inspired by these teams you weren't paying attention. There are the five men's players who decided to stick to their end or the bargain each made by accepting a scholarship from Metro. DeMarcos Anzures, Adrian Navarro, Sidikie Kamara, Chris Tiritas and Kevin Gill stayed. The rest of last season's team quit. It is tempting to stick a fabulous adjective before these Ii ve, hut I' II just cal 1 them men and move on. This season, the Metro men began practice at 5 a.m. They went to class. Some read poetry in campus coffee shops. Others raised families when they weren't shooting hoops. Collectively this group reflected and represented well a student body that doesn't care about them. This team didn't showboat. It didn't pat itself on the back. It didn't saunter around campus - when it should have been studying - looking for trouble or glorification. Its coach, the Savior, demanded more
of them. He taught them to care about each other and respect people in general. He taught them to win and do it graciously. He insisted they remain humble after blowing through opponents to a record best start. If the Roadrunners lost, it was dignified. This team became its coach. "I don't sit around and piss and moan when we lose," he said. "And I'm n()l a chcstbeater when we win." It is these qualities that made this team successful. And these qualities made this team one any Metro student, professor or administrator can and should he thankful for. The women's team has the character thing down. It has the winning thing down - six-20 win seasons in the last eight years - and it too mirrors its fiery coach. But even this program managed to reach new heights this season. A collection of women came to~cthcr in the season's Spring and pronounced themselves ready to conquer a conference. It amounted to more than a goal. It was a mission. They dived for loose balls. Elbows in the face opened gashes in foreheads, but they wiped away the blood and pressed on. Post players guarded point-guards well. Freshman sang the national anthem.
Torn ligaments, black eyes and bruised thighs proved a small price to pay. They did it all for 10 minutes at midcourt in Auraria Events Center arms raised high trophy in one collective hand. "I don't know that l recall having as much fun watching a group or kids play,'" coach Darryl Smith said. If it all reads dramatic for a relatively little-known college, if it reads like a script made for TV, it should be. It has been said that athletes receive adulation undo them in this culture. Many do. It has been said that purity is lost in sports played above the little-league level. I generally agree. But this season, in a small gym shadowed by a city, two teams, 30 athletes in all, proved something else. Not every athlete is a head case waiting to happen. Not every athlete is a comment away from strangling their coach. Not every athlete spits on admirers. Not every athlete fumes at an autograph request. There is still purity. Some still deserve the adulation. This was the best basketball season in this school's history because a . lot of games were won but also because the right people were winning them.

Shooting stumps Metro By Kyle Ringo The Metropolitan
Tun Batt/The Metropolitan
TAKE OFF: Metro swimmer Kristin Schweissing prepares for a race Feb. 28 at Auraria Pool during the Last Chance Meet. Schweisslng and eight of her teammates qualified this season for the NCAA Division II national meet in Ohio. The national meet runs March 11-14.
Divers make cut in prelims Two Metro divers survived the preliminary rounds at the NCAA Division JI national swimming and divi ng meet in Ohio March 9-10 and will move into the finals March 11-14. Dan Purifoy and Cari Lewton, each a first-time qualifier, virtually assured Metro of its best finish ever at the national meet by making it to the finals. It is the first time Metro divers have made it to the final round. Seven swimmers will also compete in the meet, bringing Metro's total to nine
competitors - a record for the school. Swimmers Kristin Schweissing and Scott Watson are the only two members of the team wi th previous experience in the national event. Schweissing and Watson earned AllAmeriea honors at the 1997 meet. This season Metro has its best shot at returning with a top-10 finish, coach Rob Nasser said before leaving for the event. Metro's nine participants are a school record at the national event. The previous high of three came last season.
Poor shooting, the fatigue of a long season or just plain bad luck might have combined to end the Metro women's basketball season, but coach Darryl Smith isn't frowning about it. "I was disappointed for the kids," Smith said. "But I wasn't disappoi nted in them. "For me personally, this was just a great team. I enjoyed every second." The Roadrunners lost a North Central Regional first round game March 6 in Grand Forks, ND. 74-64 to the University of Northern Colorado. Metro shot just 18 percent in the first half of the game as UNC raced to a lead. Metro missed its first nine shots and made just one of its first 2 I attempts. " I think this team shot bad, but we didn't look bad ," Smith said. The Roadrunners managed to keep the game close enough for a chance to win near the end, but they couldn't overcome the early shooting woes and pointguard Stephanie Allen fouling out with 7 minutes to play. "We had good looks," Allen said.
"We stole the ball. We just couldn't make anything." Allen led Metro with 15 points and senior Kristi Baxter added 12. UNC limited Forward Farrah Magee, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Year, to 3-of-21 shooting. A win would have sent Metro one game further than it had ever been in the NCAA tournament. Smith is choosing to focus on the team's success this season with an undersized lineup as opposed to dwelling on the loss. "They weren't very big," Smith said of his team. "But if you could measure the size of someone's heart, we were really big." Smith said he expects to be back for another shot at a Regional win someti me before Allen a sophomore graduates. "It's up to her to take us to the next level," Smith said. "And I've told her that." Allen, who averaged 15.3 points per game as a freshman upped her production to 17.3 as a sophomore and said she learned to play under Smith without being intimidated. Smith said she could wind up being Metro's best point guard ever.

ADVERTISMENT
Champion of Women's Rights, Steinem, to路Give Crash Course in Feminism 101 Gloria Steinem, renowned feminist author lecturer activist ' ' ' and humanitarian, to share an evening with Auraria students By Suzanne Bonola Student Activities Office Critically acclaimed writer Gloria Steinem will be speaking at the Tivoli Turnhalle on Thursday, March 26 at 7 p.m. Steinem will be speaking as part of the Distinguished lecture Series sponsored by CU-Denver Student Life and MSCD Student Activities. "Gloria Steinem represents the ideals of the women's movement that has struggled for equality," said CU-Denver Student Life Events Coordinator Khushnur Dadabhoy. Steinem broke journalistic ground while working as a contributing editor for New York magazine-- a weekly she helped . found in 1968 and served as political columnist until 1972. There she focused her articles on the women's liberation movement and explored how the movement neglected to include women of minority groups.
"We're fortunate to have such a prominent individual, who has led the women's movement with leadership and esteem in the past and continues to do so into the twenty-first century, participate in our Distinguished lecture Series," said Chessa Hallman, Metro Student Activities events programmer. Included among Steinem's books are Moving Beyond Words; Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem; and Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions. Her writing has also appeared in many magazines, newspapers, and anthologies, nationally and internationally. Steinem has received numerous awards, including the Penney-Missouri Journalism award, the Bill of Rights Award from the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, and the Ceres Medal from the United Nations. In the fall of J 993 she was inducted into the National Women's Hall
of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY. Steinem's work as an organizer includes the Ms. Foundation, the only national multi-issue, multi-racial public women's fund; the Coalition of Labor Union Women; the National Women?s Political Caucus; and the Women's Action Alliance. Steinem is currently an editorial consultant and writer for Ms. magazine, the international feminist bi-monthly that she cofounded in 1972. Said Steinem, "Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." In addition, Steinem is one of the ten International Working Group members of "Beyond Racism", an initiative of the Southern Education Foundation that includes a two-year study of comparative racial relations in the United States, Brazil, and South A(rica.
Feminist writer and activist Gloria Steinem to visit Auraria on March 26 at 7 p.m. in the Tivoli Turnhalle. Admission is free. For more information call 556-2595.
