Student government candidates debate campuswide issues by Perry Swanson

Parking talks rekindled By Jason Dilg The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan

..-

Candidates for student government office focused on plus-minus grading, student apathy and campus parking at a discussion forum March 24. Nine candidates showed up for the meeting in the Tivoli 's Multicultural Lounge. Political science professor Oneida Meranto moderated the discussion. It was the first of two debates for SGA candidates. The second is scheduled for April 2 at the flagpole in the middle of campus. Alice Marie Orth, an independent candidate for vice president of Academic Affairs, said if elected, she would help increase communication between college administration, faculty and students. "I want to become more involved in the community that I belong to," she said. Retention of ethnic minority students is one issue Vice President of Diversity Janet Damon said she would address if re-elected. But Damon said her job extends beyond serving ethnic groups on campus and also includes other groups such as single parents and students with disabilities. "Diversity is much broader than we have allowed it to become today," Damon said. Damon is running with the group of I 0 candidates calling themselves the Student Power Initiative. SPI ticket members named several issues they would work on if elected: a week.'."tong break from classes during fall semester, plus-minus grading, student retention and graduation rates, campus parking, an<l increasing access to student services for evening .and weekend students. The group plans to produce a reference book of student evaluations of fac ulty members. The book woufd be free to students, said Andy Nicholas, SPI's presidential candidate. Nicholas was alone as a presidential candidate at the forum . The other candidate for president, Dave Flomberg, a copy editor and columnist for The Metropolitan, couldn't attend the meeting because he was out of town. Some observers, including former presidential candidate Gabriel Hermelin, . have complained that the SPI ticket will "stack the deck" against independent candidates. The ticket includes several who were on the assembly this year. But Nicholas. said forming a ticket of candidates offers advantages to vot路 ers, and noted that students wilJ vote for individual candidates, not the ticket as a whole.

Pepsi Center representatives will resume negotiations with Auraria Campus on an agreement that could increase parking spots for students, faculty and staff at :Auraria. Dean Wolf, Auraria's executive vice president for Administration, said he reopened the parking talks with Pepsi Center representatives in early March. Wolf said a parking deal with the Pepsi Center could mean Auraria students, faculty and staff would have access to 500-1 ,000 of the Pepsi Center's projected 4,000 parking spaces from 7 a.m .-9 p.m., Monday - Thursday during spring and fall semesters. In return , people attending Pepsi Center events could park their vehicles in Auraria lots, Wolf said. But Pepsi Center patrons could use Auraria parking only to the extent that it doesn't affect parking availability for those who come to campus for school, he added. That means Auraria lots would be exclusive to Auraria students, faculty and staff during the day Monday through Thursday during fall and spring semesters, Wolf said. Pepsi Center patrons would have access to Auraria during the summer, and evenings and weekends during the school year. But the deal between the Pepsi Center and Auraria could create conflicting demand for Auraria spaces when Pepsi Center events are held on fall and spring semester weeknights, Wolf said.

Many Tivoli patron's cars are still parked in Lot D, behind the Tivoli, at that time. "There's a need to develop a way to preserve our parking for faculty, staff and students," Wolf said. Wolf said using decals or bar codes on Auraria user's cars would identify students and faculty. The Pepsi Center's main lot will be adjacent to Auraria, from Fourth Street to Ninth Street and from Wazee Street to Auraria Parkway, according to Paul Jacobson, a Pepsi Center representative. Similar parking negotiations were Dean Wolf cut off a year-and-ahalf ago when the future of the Pepsi Center was in doubt, Wolf said. Wolf said he hopes prices for parking at either facility would be relative to what customers would pay at the one they are attending. The Pepsi Center, owned by Ascent Entertainment Group, will hold 160 events a year, including Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets games, concerts and ice shows, Jacobson said. The facility is scheduled to open in October 1999. Ferd Belz, a consultant to the Pepsi Center, confinned that he met with Wolf, but would not comment on the content of the meeting. Pepsi Center officials denied meeting with Auraria.

Wolf said he expects Auraria will have 3,000 more students driving 1,200 more cars by 2000. Plus, 275 spaces in Lot G will disappear in December 1998 when construction begins on a performing arts building. An administration building planned for Lot E will cannibalize another 200 spaces, Wolf said. Wolf said 100 spaces will be added to Lot M in May 1998 and an unimproved lot across Fifth Street from Lot E will be developed in fall 1998, adding another 500 to 600 spaces. Opening lots to other users would help Auraria collect more money (rom its spaces by having more customers parking in Auraria lots and paying higher prices when there has been little demand, like summers and weekends, Wolf said. Nevertheless, Wolf said prices for Auraria parking will go up for the first time since 1991, possibly as soon as this summer. Wolf said the parking system gets no money other than parking to cover operation and administration costs, so the increase is necessary to keep up with inflation. Wolf said he won't speculate on how much parking fees would increase until he sees a draft of the Auraria parking and transportation study, to be completed by the end of the month. Wolf said he might find himself negotiating parking access to Auraria's lots with another large Central Platte Valley facility - the Colorado Ocean Journey. Jim Hekkers, the president of the aquarium, said he may bring the issue to Auraria.

Race board learns less than hoped Public feels left out of panel discussions By Claudia Hibbert-BeDan Tlze Metmpolitan

The spokeswoman for the President's Initiative on Race said the board stopped in Denver to understand what the city learned about stereotypes after a self-proclaimed skinhead murdered a west African immigrant and paralyzed the woman who came to his defense downtown last year. But board members didn't learn as much as they'd hoped. "We wanted to hear more from the community on how they moved beyond some of the issues associated with stereotypes and that kind of pain," said Lydia Sermons, the Initiative's spokeswoman, in an interview March 25 with The Metropolitan. " But there were, as you know, incidents that occurred that did not allow us the full opportunity we were hoping for to hear from the broad spectrum of people." The seven-member panel, which includes three whites, two blacks, one Asian and one Hispanic, has been traveling around the nation to engage the public in a conversation on race relations. 路 Denver was the seventh stop for the Initiative's advisory board, and it was supposed to address stereotypes and their effect on race relations in America. But several people were critical of the forum's topic and format, which, they saicl. dedicated more time to the Initiative's panelists than it did for the public to speak about personal experiences. "We have some folks in there that are really trying supposedly to create a change for us without the proper representation," said protester Patricia Running Bear. "There is no representation of Native Americans." Members of the Native American community and their supporters took over the Initiative's first Denver meeting, a community dialogue about stereotypes March 23 at the Tivoli Turnhalle.

Perry Swanson/The Metropolitan HEAR THIS: Masked youths protest the exclusion of a Native American on the President's Initiative on Race advisory board at a March 23 meeting on campus. The activists shouted down several speakers at the conference.

They returned the next day to protest outside the Tivoli, condemning the board's chairman John Hope Franklin for not pushing for an American Indian to be on the advisory board. Laura Harris. a member of the Comanche nation. is only a consultant to the board. Sermons, however, defended the board's composition and said the board has talked to the president about Native American issues. "It's up to every ethnic community to make sure, as the community did here, that their voices are being heard and to educate other people on their cultures," she said. ''I believe that if I've been discriminated against as an African American and someone else has been discriminated against because of their race, is that not the basis

of the same thing?" No, said Steve Newcomb, a Lenape/Shawnee and director of the Indigenous Law Institute in South Dakota. Franklin didn't want to talk about the issues specific to Native Americans, he said. "We've been told that John Hope Franklin wanted this to be a black-white dialogue, and he thought that appointing an Indian would be distracting to the dialogue," Newcomb said at the protest rally March 24. "People were offended that we took on John Hope Franklin (at the community dialogue) in front of African Americans," he said. "But we wouldn't stand for an Indian being up there oppressing black people."

Franklin denied the accusation, calling it a "diabolical misrepresentation of my position." The board "was not intended to represent the racial composition of the United States," said Judith Winston, the Initiative's executive director, at the group's first meeting. But the crowd's roar drowned her out before she could explain why. Sermons later explained that it would have been impossible to represent the nation's total population. "When the president selected the board, the intent was not to pick people just because of their racial background," she said. "As you know, there's more than five ethnic groups. It would have been an incredibly large board."

Clinton's panel, community search for meaning By Jesse Stephenson The Metropolita11

Representatives of local minority organizations said they are struggling to make sense of a conference on race in Denver that was sponsored by President Clinton. So are some of the panelists who came to campus March 23 and 24 to discuss racial stereotypes at three community meetings. , Auraria's race talks were punctuated by protests, tears and discord among the panelists and. audience. Nearly 1,000 people attended the talks, which were held in the Tivoli Student Union. Clinton appointed board members, who have been traveling around the country since fall 1997, to initiate talks on racerelated issues. The initiative's seven advisory board

members draft reports about their findings and experiences for the president. Rob Holm_es, chairman of the Black Employment Program Council, said the conference left him confused and disappointed. The council is a Denver organization working with the Black Chamber of Commerce and local coalitions to foster business relations within the black community. Holmes attended the Auraria meetings to gather information about the race initiative for his council. He said he isn't sure what to tell them. But Holmes said his briefing will likely include the anger expressed by Native Americans, many of whom protested at the conferences and overtook Monday's meeting because none of their own was appointed to Clinton's board. Holmes might also tell his group the pan-

elisl's speeches were peppered with technical terms and sociological jargon. ''They talked to this audience at an academic level ," Holmes said. "They inflamed some people by doing that and they bickered among themselves. "That gives me the impression they don't know what they are doing. I'm jusl wondering how much of what was said at this conference is going to get back to the White House, and will it be specifics or generalizations?" John Hope Franklin, chairman of the race board, did not respond to questions on what the board will say about the Auraria race talks. "We didn't learn a great deal here," he said. Lydia Sermons, a spokeswoman for Clinton's race initiative said the reporting process takes several weeks.

"We have to look at the transcript," Sermons said. "We need to digest what was-said and make sure we fully understand the issues. "After that, the advisory board sends a letter of recommendation on to the president based on the things we heard out of the community." So far,路 the board has reported to the president on matters such as race relations in education, labor and health care, Sermons said. Guest panelist Richard Estrada, associate editor for The Dallas Morning News, told The Metropolitan that the board will probably tell the president about areas of contention for the Native Americans. "I think most of the board members hadn't realized the intensity of feeling Native Americans have in terms of nation-

Two student credit unions to be added to Tivoli By Reem Al-Omari The Metropolitan

Students will soon be able to cash checks, take out loans and deposit money at Auraria. The Denver Credit Union and the Federal Credit Union have both signed five-year leases and will open for business in the Tivoli as early as this summer. Dave Caldwell, the Tivoli lease manager, said the two credit unions were originally going to share a space in the Tivoli, but now each will have its own space because a sports clothing store recently

vacated its space in the Tivoli. Caldwell said the two operations will benefit from the new arrangement because they have more room to expand if their businesses thrive. "They did their homework by planning for the future of their business," Caldwell said. The Denver Credit Union, which will serve Metro students, will be in what is now Metro's Intercollegiate Athletics office near Cost Cutters and the ticket window in the Tivoli. The Athletics office will be moved to the third floor of the student union because Tivoli officials want more

businesses on the second floor. The Denver Credit Union will offer services that include full-function automated teller machines, which will be used for regular transactions such as deposits, account infonnation and withdrawals. The credit union will also have loan officers and service representatives for opening new accounts and loans. The Federal Credit Union, which will take over the space where Pure Energy, a sports clothing store, used to be and will serve University of Colorado at Denver students, also will have ATMs for regular transactions and credit unioi:i employees

for opening new accounts and loans. Andy Eiche, the Federal Credit Union director of university branching operations and projects manager, said that the ATM machines will not charge its members for using the machines. Eiche said the Auraria Campus is unique in that people are here both night and day. He said experimenting with banking hours will be a must. The hours of operation for the Federal Credit Union, will be 10 a.m . to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Eiche said that those hours are subject to change after he gets input from students. 路

al sovereignty issues and the makeup of the expert panel," Estrada said. "The board will doubtless make some recommendations to the president on these issues." Lori Windle, chairwoman of the American Indian Program Council, a group organized lo increase the number of Native Americans in the federal workforce, said she' II tell the coun'c il the Auraria race talks will ultimately prove fruitful. "I think the panel served a purpose but not the one they intended or expected," she said. "The purpose for American Indians was to get the attention of the president - and I think they will do that." Windle, a Metro graduate and member of the Anishinabe nation , said the race ,discussions mi'g hl also remind people that race is an inflammatory issue for most. Mary Viv Lawson, an audience member at Tuesday's discussion, tearfully told the panel that Clinton's initiative was flawed. "This whole conference is very upsetting to me because people are talking over each other," she said. "This panel of power brokers interacting with the citizenry is just not working." Throughout the Auraria meetings, many audience members criticized the initiative's format and effectiveness. Still, most listened when members of

the panel related their findings about the sociology of stereotyping and their personal experiences with race relations. Gov. Roy Romer, who made opening remarks March 24, told the audience he gained insight about race relations as a participant in the civil rights movement in Alabama during the 1960s. Romer said there was a law in that state forbidding white people from playing checkers with black people. Panelist Federico Peiia, national energy secretary and former Denver mayor, emphasized the historical significance of Clinton's race initiative. "Never before in our nation's history have we has a panel such as this," he said. "This dialogue is about our past and our future ." Sermons told The Metropolitan that the budget for the year-long project is $4.8 million. Funding for the president's race initiative comes from the Department of Justice. Clinton 's initiative board will operate until September 1998. The next scheduled round of race talks will be April 6-9 at other colleges and universities. Locations for the Campus Week of Dialogue on Race have not been announced. Information about Clinton's initiative on race is available on the Internet al http://www. whi tehouse. gov/Initiatives/ OneAmerica.

An Open Letter to Students Planning to Attend Law School from 路U.S:News & World Report Dear Student:

DON'T YOU JUST HATE TO BE GRADED? Well, by their shrill protests about U.S.News & World Report law school rankings, so do most of the deans of the law schools you are considering. However, as a law school graduate with both a JD. and a LLM. degree, I can tell you that these same deans will subject you to rigorous grading. You will be required to endure lectures from tenured professors who have not changed their class notes since the Battle of Hastings. Then, after attending class for a full semester, you will be given one exam to determine your grade. One exam, one semester, one grade. O!le roll of the dice to measure your performance. At U.S.Ncw's & World Report we are far more equitable (to use a legal term). We have a multi-faceted, multidimensional, sophisticated ranking system developed and evolved over many years to give you guidance on what may be one of your largest financial investments and certainly one of the most important choices for your career in law and perhaps beyond. While our law school rankings should not be the only criteria in your choice of a law school, they should certainly be an important part of the analysis. Get your copy of U.S.News & World Report's Best Graduate Schools guide on newsstands now. Or, to make it easier for you to see the book that 164 law school deans would prefer you not see (notwithstanding their commitment to the First Amendment), call 1-800-836-6397 (ask for extension 5105) and I will arrange for a copy of the book to be sent directly to you at $1 off the newsstand price.* This will also ensure that you have a copy of these important rankings because, as a result of publicity surrounding the deans' determination to have you ignore the rankings, they are a very hot item. These law school rankings are a small part of our philosophy of News You Can Use"': information we bring yqu in each issue of the magazine to help you manage your life.

RTD and city attorneys have discussed issuing debt bonds as an alternative funding source for the project, he said. A city bond issue would have to be approved by a citywide election. Claflin said RID does not know how much the rail line would cost, and the RTD board denied him pennission to formally study the costs. He said the board would let him study where the tracks would go and where the stations would be. An Auraria line was part of last year's failed Guide the Ride initiative. The line's cost was not itemized in the proposal, Claflin said. Voters in the six-county RTD area derailed the plan in an election last November by 16 percentage points. Denver residents, however, voted in favor of the plan by a narrow margin.

developments might push air pollution levels beyond federal limits. Some stakeholders have direct responsibility to control traffic. The Washington-based Trillium Corp. is planning to build 2,000 residential units and 3.7 million square feet of commercial space in the Central Platte Valley behind Union Station, Sirois said. Trillium must develop a plan to encourage customers and residents to abandon their cars for carpooling and mass transit before the city will grant the developers a building pennit, he added. The group might foot the bill for some of the operating costs of the new line. John Claflin, RTD's director of planning and development, said he hopes the stakeholders contribute enough money to get the project on track.

Candidates must live up to promises, enact change Year after year, student elections resemble a bad joke. A few years ago fewer than 100 students voted in the SGA election. ~opolftan Year after year, student leaders complain about the Editorial administration not paying attention to the SGA. News: Student This year, two candidates - Andy Nicholas and Dave Government Flomberg - are vying to become SGA president, and stuAssembly dents need to 'make the right choice. elections are For all of the voices crying in the wind, the natural tenApril 6-8. dency toward apathy becomes standard once the school year rolls around and students become absorbed in class, work and Views: Candidates homework. The average Metro student has little time or desire must inspire lo participate in the tasks that SGA members take on during students, establish credibility to the year. The average student doesn't even know what SGA prompt change. does. It is the responsibility of the candidates to get out and make students listen. It is the responsibility of the candidates to keep promises and complete the job they start once elected. It is the. students' responsibility to learn about the candidates and make an educated decision on election days. It is up to students to guide the SGA and ensure it is working

Cbe

for the student body. With three voting days, students have no excuse for not taking part in the election other than simply not caring. If that is the case, don't vote. If anything about the way the campus, SGA or administration runs should be changed or if other issues need to be considered, vote. The only way the administration will listen to the SGA is if the SGA has strong student support. The only yvay to gain student support is to make students care. As it stands, students have watched as chaos ensued once newly elected leaders took the helm. The current SGA had a turnover rate that rivals McDonalds. It's not fair to judge the SGA by its past members, but what else is there to gauge? Each year, most candidates and eventual leaders start with the best intentions. What usually changes all that is reality. Students don't have much say in campus matters. Student leaders can't change administrative decisions, i.e. "The Met. " With the face of the SGA changing year to year, and sometimes month to month, consistency is nearly impossible and long-term changes arc illogical. Respect, credibility and action. It's a tough jQb. That job now lies with the cand idates.

Race to 路harmony begins with individuals, not groups attended the Citizen Dialogue on Race and Stereotypes on March 23 at the Tivoli and came away thinking this: Racial stereotypes exist so widely that forthright conversations between strangers arc often impossible. The President's Initiative on Perry Swanson Race is llawed from the start. The Point There .are inherent problems in packing a room with 800 people and asking for an honest discussion .on a highly emotional and personal topic. Whoever set that up was asking for trouble, and, boy, did they get it. ; Someone failed to include Native Americans on the seven-person initiative panel. How the hell did that happen? And Judith Winston, the Initiative's executive director, made matters worse when she told a pack of hecklers the panel was not intended to reflect the U.S. population. "It could not have," she said. Nonsense. Denver Mayor Wellington Webb seemed to set a tone for the meeting when he talked about the city's long, proud history of tolerance. He listed several Native American tribes and inadvertently said they "were" Colorado residents. "We're still here," came shouts from the crowd. No one doubted that by the end of the night. Beforl! long, the meeting deteriorated as Native Americans shouted down a few speakers and the two emcees responded with slick, cynical and patronizing comments. Native Americans unrelentingly booed the chair-

man of the advisory board, John Hope Franklin, when he got up to speak. He sat down in defeat without completing one sentence. Later, Franklin recanted his statement that the protest was a "performance." "Would you stop and listen to yourselves? We are getting nowhere," lamented Ernest Gurule, a moderator and correspondent for KWGN-TV. He asked for a representative "from the group that is most vocal." "It is far easier to sit there and remain disruptive than it is to come up," he said. Some Native Americans decried the tokenism. "One person, one person," they said. Someone thumped a drumbeat on the back of a chair as a group of young Native American girls chanted discontent. At times, the meeting looked and sounded like a charismatic revival. One person after another gave atestimonial about their experience with discrimination and hate . Each seemed driven to surpass the emotion and drama elicited by the speaker before them. Each prefaced their remarks by listing credentials such as their ethnic background or experience with racism. Some Native Americans compared their suffering with that of blacks. "Slavery has ended, our colonization has not ended," shouted Steve Newcomb, a Native American, as blacks shook their heads in dissent. The value of this sort of meeting is minimal, but I don't blame the Native American activists. They have a legitimate objection and probably wouldn't have been heard at all if they wcrcn 't so loud and persistent. But racial harmony is a phenomenon between individuals, not groups. You can't just throw all the races together in a room and order them to work out their problems. It's chaos, and the group with the loudest voice dominates the discussion.

The only lasting result is more anger and disillusionment on all sides. To tell the truth, I'm sick of talking about race with people I don't know personally. I would rather talk about music, travel, religion, college, whatever. I would rather go to a movie with someone who is an ethnic minority or eat lunch with them before we talk aboul race. I'm not avoiding the issue. Race is too important and too emotionally charged, and the potential for misunderstanding is too high to discuss race before I know the person I'm talking with. People sometimes get this "change-the-world" complex when they're talking about race in front of a large group. Trite statements about justice, diversity and equality flow freely, but rarely will anyone offer specific, concrete and practical solut ions. Have you seen the TV commercial promoting the President's Initiative on Race? The camera focuses on men and women of several ethnic backgrounds and also a couple of people with disabilities. The smiling faces tell how they, too, like "good food," and "good music." One says, "You don't have to like me ... " Another, "but if you get to know me ... " And another, "you might." That's where racial harmony really begins. Preaching pundits with amusing anecdotes have little to offer a serious discussion on race. Angry activists are symptomatic of the fact that blatant racism exists at all levels of society. Mass meetings arc one thing, and they serve a small purpose in "bringing people together." But they are a poor substitute for personal interaction. Perry Swanson is a Metro student and the assistant news editor for The Metropolita11

I guess it's time to be honest with

you. You sec, my editor dared me to run for SGA president one day while we were discussing the whole election process. So I figured, why not? I've got a few extra minutes in the day to pack some undertaking into. Dave Romberg Why not'? There's a couple of issues my runForum ning might raise. Why not? My plan was to try and lighten up the process and try and give everything its proper perspective. By running, I could point out the problems and have a good time doing it. And if, by some strange turn of events, I got elected, I was going to step down and hand over the reins to Karmin Trujillo, who had planned on running at the time. Karmin rocks. She really cares about people and has a good sense of humor to boot. But that all backfired. Karmin's not running. Now, I'm running against those Student Power people. You know, the ones who advocate more students of color in decision-making positions. The ones running a white guy for president. And, as luck would have it, he's little more than political weasel. A few months ago, I ran into some problems dealing with Auraria Parking (the bastards). I spoke to Nicholas about my problems, as he is supposed to be a student advocate. He did not know I worked for this paper at the time. He told me to submit a grievance in writing, etc. I ran irito him a week later, and he had figured out my press affi liation. He asked if I'd write a colu.mn if something was accomplished. I decided not to pursue the situution further. II seemed too unethical, even for me. The fact that he would ask me to do something so obviously political makes me worry he's probably practicing for a real public office. You know, the kind with a real salary and real interns. Right now, he's probably screaming that J'm mudslinging ;.md being pelly because he said not to vote for me in a column he wrote for The Metmpo/ita11 on March 13. He was right about one thing. You probably shouldn't vote for me. If I get elected, I'm going to do things like eliminate all executive sessions (which, by the way, is a perfectly legal thing to do, Andy, my boy). In fact, I'll probably just eliminate meetings altogether. We' II all just go down 10 the Boiler Room and drink: I'll spend the SGA budget on the most frivolous, inane things I can find, like paddle balls and Twinkies. Maybe a Sony PlayStation for each student lounge. Or maybe I' II just bag the whole thing and pul the money into a scholarship fund for Serbian immigrant students. So, vote for me or don't vote for me, I don't give a damn. Just don ' t vote for the other guy. Write in somebody else, anybody. The person standing next to you. Your pct beagle. Sheila Kaplan. Yourself. Why not?

Dave Flomberg is a candidate for president of the Student Government Assembly.

First, I would like to thank Michael BcDan and the staff or The Metropolitan for allowing the presidential candidates running for student government this forum to express their views. Next, to my follow students, I would like to thank you for your interest in those who will he on Andy Nicholas the election ballot this April to uphold Forum your interests in the upcoming year. I am writing today as the leader of the Student Power Initiative, a group or students running for the Student Government Assembly. We've come from many different corners of the campus and many different backgrounds, cager to work for the student body next year. Although our collective agendas encompass countless topics, within the next year we arc committed to addressing six principal issues.

Student Power Initiative issues • A full week Thanksgiving break • Defending student input on grading system changes • A more effective parking system • Creating a comprehensive faculty evaluation booklet for students • Higher student retention and graduation rates • Better access to student services for evening and weekend students We also sec it as our duty to collect and respond to your individual problems regarding our campus. To do this we will create and distrihutc a "student concern~ form" designed specifically to present your issue to student government. Once received, if you have requested help in resolving that issue, a member or student government will be appointed to do so. Yes, it will be greatly time consuming to personally address every student concern given to us, but that's what we're commiued to if elected. I've shown you all thc bcnelits of electing the Student Power Initiative, but as your president, what can you count on me for"! Most importantly, I will keep your elected representative:, focused on their goals and provide the space for them to achieve those goals. Personally, you can hold me accountable to the values of Commitment, Courage, Community, Integrity, and Generosity in all that I do, whether it be with faculty, administrators or students. On April 6, 7 and 8 remember that the Student Power Initiative is dedicated to commilled action on behalf.of student advocacy, involvement and empowcnncnt. Thank you, and please use my e-mail address (nicholas@mscd.edu) if you hµvc any questions or comments.

Photography exhibit explores images of modern people By Ryan Bachman Tire Metropolitan

hotographers from across the globe and throughout the 20th century present a time table of culture and technology. The Center for Visual Arts, 1701 Wazee SL, is presenting the exhibition, The Human Experience: 20th Century Photography, an exploration of the inclusion or people in photographic images from the turn of the century to the present. The show runs through April 22. Curated by noted Denver photographer and art historian, James 0. Milmore, The Human Experience was assembled from the collections of various artists, individuals, galleries and museums. The pieces in the exhibition are the works of already recognized as well as emerging artists from the United States, Russia, Africa and throughout Europe. The photographs in The Human Experience reveal movements in the progression from pictorialism to the digital imagery of today. Documentary and photojournalism hang along side portrait and fashion photography, modernist and war photography, street photography and post-modern. Early photographic artists emulated painters using soft focus to create impressionistic 路images. The potential of photography was soon realized. Improved publishing of books and magazines brought fine photography lo a widening audience. The public's insatiable appetite for images assured the future of photography. "Exploring the human experienoe through photography offers a wide vari.ety of subjects and treatments from formal to casual , creative and experimental, journalistic and abstract," said Milmore, who has photos, including prints of Louie Armstrong, in the show. "Viewers will see warriors and women, old and young, men and children, cowboys and Indians, sadness and j oy." Some of the images in the exhibit arc well-known and appraised classics such as American/Canadian Yousuf Karsh's portraits of Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and Ernest see PHOTO on 19

Tire Metmpofilii11- -23

Veterans lead Metro in swim Nationals Schweissing and Watson land in top-8 send teams to best finishes ever By Kyle Ringo Tire Metropolitan Canton, Ohio, is most often associated with football's most glorious playmakers, but for one weekend each year it becomes a college swimming and diving mecca. And the fastest and most graceful of this season's Metro men 's and women's swimming and diving teams used their weekend in Al Bundy's _Graceland to cement this season in this school's lore. The Metro men earned a No. 10 finish at the Division IT National Swimming and Diving meet March 11-14 while the women's team finished No. 17. "It was fun," former Metro coach Rob Nasser said. "It was fun to see the end result of what we have been working for." Nasser resigned March 23 to accept a job in the_ Information and Technology department at Metro nine days after his most glorious moment as a swimming coach. "We had to have a great last relay on the guy's side on the last day (to finish in the top 10)," Nasser said. The Roadrunners got just that. Mike True, Kaan Berberoglu, Chris Ogden and Scott Watson combined in the 400-yard medley relay for a seventh place finish and a lock on N o. 10. The medley win capped a performance by Watson overshadowed only by Metro's former two-time National Champion swimmer Darwin Srickland who won titles four years ago. · Watson, a senior, breezed to five top 8 finishes, including the medley. Four of his All-America perfonnances were solo swims in the I 00 breaststroke (7th), 200 breaststroke (5th), 200 indi_vidual medley (6th), and 400 individual medley (4th).

"I wish I could have done better since that was my last meet," Watson said. "I wanted to do all my best times, but it just didn't work out that way." Watson and women's swimmer Kristin Schweissing were the only Metro athletes who had been before.

Senior Shawn Smith said the experience was special, and having the chance to finish his college career as an AllAmerican with his mother watching couldn't have been sweeter. " I can say that l'm an All-American," Smith said. "That is what I come away with." Smith's mother taught him to swim as Chris Ogden Kaan Berberogtu many parents do.

Honorable Honorable "I don ' t think there was one epic mention mention moment," Smith said. "It was an unspoken deal between us." Junior Chris Ogden, who transferred to Metro before this season, twice missed an All-American finish by one place. Ogden finished ninth in the 100 and 200 butterny events. For the seniors, the success, combined with their coach's departure, comes at the perfect time. Shawn Smith Dan Purifoy But the rest of Metro's swimmers and Five-time Two-time divers will begin training for next year and Honorable another shot at the nation's best almost Honorable mention mention immediately while the school ·searches for a new coach.

Pay increase might have saved a good coach . Just nine days after completing Metro's most successful season, men's and women's swimming and diving coach Rob Nasser resigned · March 23 to accept a full-time position in the school's Information and· Technology department. The move provides Nasser more than a 500 percent pay increase Kyle Ringo from $6,000 a year to more than $30,000 annually as a Network Analyst Administrator One - otherwise known as a big time computer guy. If Nasser does as well with computers as he does with swimmers, Metro's computer labs might one day be, well, useful. During his tenure, Nasser twice has produced the top academic perfonnance in the nation from a women's swimming team. The Metro men were fifth academically for fall 1997. Nasser has coached · one national champion in the pool along with countless All -Americans. While Nasser's resignation certainly surprised some

Game I of Sunday's doubleheader was just as dramatic as the second, with the Roadrunners coming from behind again to win 5-4. Trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh, sophomore designated hitter Brian Aguiar hit a double to start off the inning. After a single by senior third baseman Neal Vallejos, junior left fielder Travis Betz reached on an error to load the bases. Sophomore second baseman Mike Henthorn hit a two-run single to drive in the game tying runs. Following a bunt single by Linteo and a strikeout by pinch hitter Josh Vickers, Johnson hit a sacrifice fly to right field to allow Betz to score the game-winning run. Mesa State had its chances to break the game wide open, but junior pitcher Ariel Garibay shut the door on the Mavericks. In the third inning, Mesa State had runners at first and third with two outs and threatening to score, when Garibay calmly pitched his way out the of jam by getting the batter to hit a weak ground ball to Jerebker to end the threat. Garibay, a transfer from Ohlone Junior College in Fremont, Calif., is currently 4-0 with an team-low 1.42 earned run average on the season. "I expected to do well this year," Garibay said. "At the start of the season, I did not know what to expect from the hitters at this level, but I have seen some good hitters and I have seen some bad ones."

Sports briefs Ponis heads to Alabama Metro assistant volleyball coach Debbie Ponis has accepted a position on the coaching staff of the University of Alabama volleyball team. Pon is will leave Metro in April after a one-year stay. "I think al first I was excited," Ponis said. "And then it set in that I was leaving. "It's exciting, but it can be overwhelming, too." Ponis has established an impressive resume as a player and coach.

She helped lead Metro to its first Regional tournament appearance in three years last season as coach Joan McDermott's second assistant. As an athlete, Ponis piled up numerous awards. She was an All-State selection in high school tennis at Arvada High School for three years and an All -America pick once. In volleyball, Ponis made the AllState team twice in high school. Ponis carried her success through college at the University of Northern Colorado. She earned All-America honors three times in volleyball and once in tennis. "The opportunity to learn in an environment with so much rich tradition is a

unique experience," Ponis said. "For me it was just deciding that it was an OK time to leave."

Soccer fields closed Metro's men's and women's soccer teams, once again, arc unable to use the renovated Auraria Fields. A spring break rugby tournament chewed up the fields and rendered them unusable , Metro's Athletics Director William Helman said. The soccer teams will have to find off-campus cites for spring practices while the grass is given time to stabilize, Helman said.

Athletic departtnent helped coach get job RINGO from 23

the wrong direction. The solution eluding everyone is this simple. Pay good coaches a livable wage. Helman agrees. He said he would like to sec all his head coaches become fulltime staff. Helman has also gone to the trouble of trying to find other avenues for part-time coaches in tennis and swimming lo make extra money at the school. Nasser's new job is proof. The Athletics department helped Nasser get started with the In formation and Technology department on a part-time basis, Helman said. Nasser has laught swim classes at

Metro, coached club teams and even worked at McDonald's as a way of supplementing his passion, but he is tired of the hassle. "I am of the opinion that you reward success," Nasser said. " I think it is outstanding that the basketball and volleyball programs have had success here. "I think its too bad that swimming isn't looked at in a higher light." Anyone wishing for swimming or tennis to rival more popu lar sports is living in fantasy land .But Metro fields teams in these sports, so it should do its very best if it is going to do it at all. Paying $6,000 to someone to coach two swimming teams

while the men 's basketball coach rakes in $58,000 and the women's volleyball coach pockets $43,000 is unconscionable if the aim is stability. So instead of saying its a bad situation . Helman, the Faculty Athletic Advisory Counsel, which has the power to make recommendations in this area, and President Sheila Kaplan should fix it. Instead, Metro is letting a dedicated coach walk away. " It ' s unfortunate that the attitude seems to be' Well we'll find someone. We found you," Nasser said. They will. But how long will that person stay?
