Metro ·president slammed _Surveys criticize

Kaplan's lack of 'respect' for faculty By David Proviano The Metropolitan

~ ~ !

A majority of Metro professors do not respect Metro President Sheila Kaplan, according to the results of two recent evaluations. "Her record in faculty relations is pitiful and miserable," said one respondent to the evaluation survey. The first evaluation, released Aug. 26, was conducted by the Faculty Senate last spring. The results, compiled by Metro's Faculty Senate, were overwhelmingly negative. At Kaplan's request. Metro's Office of Institutional Research reviewed the Faculty Senate's findings and conducted

Kaplan admitted that she needs to work on some areas and said she will address faculty concerns. "The evaluation speaks for itself," Kaplan said. "We've worked a lot of issues out. There certainly continue to be areas where the desires of Faculty Senate, which I understand, are simply nothing I can respond to positively. Th_ere were a lot of positives in it and some areas of concern. It was a good sharing of information, a good basis to move forward." This is the first time the faculty has evaluated the college president. It was done to inform other members of faculty how everyone felt about Kaplan, said Stu Monroe, Faculty Senate vice president. This isn't the first time Kaplan has been the target of harsh criticism from the faculty. In 1997, 161 of 336 full-time tenured faculty said they had no confidence in Kaplan's ability to lead. The vote was staged after faculty members expressed concerns over her perceived agressive management style.

its own .survey. The second evaluation not only confirmed the findings of the first, they reflected worse on the president. "I am concerned that the relations between the president and the faculty continue to be adversarial and contentious," said another faculty member, responding to the evaluation survey. Only two of 20 questions in the Shella Kaplan Institutional Research survey showed support for Kaplan. More than 80 percent of faculty believe Kaplan is doing a good job in encouraging the hiring of both women and minorities. Most respondents to the other 18 questions said Kaplan lacks communication skills and respect for faculty. "(Kaplan) needs to work with faculty a lot more instead of against them," said Faculty Senate President Monys Hagen. "She needs to take faculty concerns more seriously."

Kaplan to extend fall break One day added next year, this year 'optional' By Alicia Beard The Melropoliton Students may look forward to having the Wednesday off before Thanksgiving in the following years, Metro President Sheila Kaplan said Aug. 29. Faculty Senate's executive committee are debating on whether Wednesday will be an optional day this year for classes for faculty who may need the day for their curriculum. "Some faculty have designed their curriculum so they have to have that day, but in subsequent years there won't be classes before Thanksgiving," Kaplan said. Kaplan handed down the decision after three years of the Faculty Senate and student government grappling with Kaplan over the issue. "To Dr. Kaplan's credit, she did revisit an issue that slle opposed;" said Monys Hagen, Faculty Senate president. Metro student government President Andy Nicholas

said, "The first meeting I ever had with Sheila Kaplan, "We were teaching in excess of what is required by CCHE," Hagen said. that (Thanksgiving break issue) was the first thing out of my mouth." She also said Metro professors ended up teaching more hours than Hagen said both the Wednesday any other school in the state because before Thanksgiving and the last 'To Dr. Kaplan's of the excess days in the fall semester.

Professors appeal $1 award in lawsuit By Kerney Williams The Melropoliton A group of Metro professors filed an appeal Aug. 13 on a lawsuit they have already won. The Metropolitan State College Faculty Protective Association sued Metro's governing board and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for underpaying the faculty between 1988-94. The professors won their lawsuit in July 1997, but were awarded only $1 each in restitution. They were not awarded court costs, and all claims ~fore November 1991 were thrown out due to a statue of limitations dispute. The professors are appealing all the rulings. Sixty of the 72 professors originally involved in the lawsuit are named in the appeal, according to professor Nonnan Pence, treasurer of the association. "The $1 was really kind of a slap in the face," Pence said. The College Handbook stated salaries should be comparable to those paid by colleges similar to Metro. This was done by comparing the salaries of, the professors at Metro with the faculty salaries at 19 urban, undergraduate institutions. The administration changed the language in the contracts for the

1994-95 school year to get rid of this contract obligation, Pence said. Evidence cited in the decision showed in 1991-92 average faculty salaries were 10.9 percent below peer group averages. While Colorado District Judge Robert Hyatt sided with the faculty, he awarded only $1 in damages to each professor because he felt the model for repayment offered by the association was "not reasonably accurate." The professors disagreed. "We're using the same model Dr. Kaplan uses to figure salaries, in fact we designed the model," Pence said, describing the system Hyatt objected to. By using the model Kaplan uses to cover the years in question retroactively, the association came up with a figure of $5.9 million as a basis for damages. "No judge wanted to go on the record awarding $5.9 million," said association President John Schmidt. "Dr. Kaplan refers to the mathematically inclined as 'mathocrats.' If she can understand a system that doesn't include algorithms or formula, I don't see how a judge can't." Administration officials, including Metro spokeswoman Debbie Thomas and college attorney Lee Combs, refused to comment on the case.

Fall Fest swings Auraria By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan Swing music serenaded students Sep. 2-3 during the Fall Fest along the Lawrence Street Mall as they enjoyed the last of the summer sun, shopped and learned about campus clubs and organizations. "We got excellent response," said Ron Cope of the Ron Cope Quartet, who entertained at Fall Fest "We even had some people out here swing dancing." The fourth annual Fall Fest brought together a myriad of interests. Vendors sold silver and beaded necklaces, Peruvian engraved gourds, Peruvian woven bags and jackets, ankle bracelets, amulets, hackey sacks and clay creations. . Advocates for the environment, animals and human rights all asked students for their support, while other organizations, such as Metro's student government, worked to get students involved in committees. Matt Johnson, a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said, "(We) help people get direction." Other booths vied for pledges of students' organs and tissues donations, while

some glorified the virtues of sexual abstinence. Metro's Assistant Director of Student Services, Julie Rodriguez, said Fall Fest is important because it gives the students a chance to know what services, clubs and organizations are on campus. "This gives you an opportunity to be abfe lo meet and talk with these people and interact and get an understanding," said Monique Holmes, a Spanish and music engineering major at Metro. "One of the biggest problems all of us clubs have is recruiting and awareness around campus," said James Crook, president of the Metro State Rugby Football Club . "We're out here today trying to let people know about us because we always need conversation partners," said Jeanne Hind, director for the International Language Center, a group that teaches English to international students. Rodriguez, who organized the event, said there were at least 61 student clubs and organizations, 16 vendors, non-profit groups and ski areas present.

MSCD Students, Faculty, Administrators and Staff... As you are aware, the Climate Survey conducted during the Spring1997 academic term was collected and the results analyzed by the President's Taskforce on College Climate. Six themes were identified that significantly impact all or several of the campus constituents (faculty, staff, administrators and students). Number three "I do not feel that my efforts (work) is valued by the college" was one of these themes. Over one third of the respondents in each constituency felt his/her efforts were not valued by the institution.

We need your help... Our subcommittee needs your help in identifying ways that the college can address this issue of "devaluation" among the students, staff, faculty, and administrators. Please send us an abstract of your idea(s) on a single sheet of paper addressed to

Karen Krupar, Academy for Teaching Excellence, Campus Box 004, or E-mail mancuso@mscd.edu, or fax it to 556-6484.

We will collect all suggestions and make our recommendations to the President on the basis of these suggestion abstracts. We appreciate your investment of time and effort. We will send a copy of the completed recommendations to you if you choose to identify yourself on the abstract. All suggestions will be kept confidential unless you grant permission otherwise. Please respond ASAP, as time is running out to have your voice heard. .J

Activists: Go vote! Environmental group expects to register 25 ,000 By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan -l

An environmental lobbying organization will solicit Metro students this fall to register to vote in the Nov. 3 elections. The Student Vote 1998 campaign, organized by theÂˇColorado Public Interest Research Group, expects to register 25,000 students statewide, and targeted Metro students to register at the Swing Fling Fall Fest Sept. 2-3. College students, especially those between the ages of 18 and 24, are the least likely to vote of any age group, and that cripples student influence on government, said Sarah Scott, CoPIRG's campus organizer for Metro. Only one in six people in that age group

voted in the last election, Scott said. "What it comes down to is having a voice," she said. CoPIRG will also try to inform students of election issues and sign them up for volunteer projects with the organization. CoPIRG is working to protect forest land in Alaska from oil companies such as Arco and Exxon, that want to open up the refuge for drilling, Scott said. The drilling would destroy the land and leave animals homeless in exchange for what CoPIRG researchers predict is 51 days worth of oil. With a surplus of oil in the market and oil prices down, Scott said the drilling is superfluous. CoPIRG will also promo~e activities for National Hunger and Homeless Week in November and is working to expand recycling. on campus.

Colorado students could be affected by a court case involving the limitation of student fee monies used for political organizations such as the Colorado Student Association. CSA, a political action group comprised of student representatives from 11 colleges across the state, including Metro, lobbies for the rights and concerns of students al the Colorado legislature. They have fought for such things as pre-paid tuition and keeping the rate of tuition increases close to the rate of cost- ofliving increases. The association is funded through student fees. CSA charges colleges 50 cents per full-time enrolled student. Last month the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that the University of Wisconsin at Madison could not force students to foot the bill for campus groups engaging in political activities, court records show. The court case erupted when three students at Madison challenged the mandatory fees policy to fund 18 campus organizations. The organizations included Amnesty International; The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Campus Center; the Campus Women's Center and the International Socialist Organization. Although the student fee policy of Madison is simil ar to schools on Auraria and other colleges around the nation, the ruling applies only in the seventh circuit states of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. One Colorado student pushed the same issue. Ted McClurg, a senior at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, filed a complaint Jetter with the chancellor's office stating that he was being forced to take part in political activities that he considered a violation of his constitutional rights, officials at the college said. The complaint came after the students passed a referendum increasi ng student fees to join the Colorado Student Association. McClurg could not be reached for comment. Responding to the cases in Madison and Colorado Springs, CSA qeated an organization within itself to protect it from a Colorado court ruling similar to the one in Wisconsin. The new organization, the Colorado Student Leadership Foundation, will fund staff salaries. Money collected from student fees for the organization will be contributed to CSLf, and fundi ng for political activities will be funnelled to CSA, said Ruth Burns, Metro's representative to CSA and a member of Metro's student government. Heidi Van Huysen, executive director for the association s~essed that money could not be transferred from one group to the other. Both groups are non-profit. CSA is in a tax category that allows it to engages in political activities. CSLF is in a tax category that can not participate in political activities, Van Huysen said.

Fight ends in hit-and-run on campus <,

Domestic dispute escalates into demolition derby in Lot H By Tura 'Ihljillo The Metropolitan

A fight between husband and wife in downtown Denver resulted in a hit-and-run on Auraria Campus Aug. 11, according to a police report. At 2 a.m., Auraria police responded to a report of a van hitting a car and fleeing the scene. The report identified Brandi Bottoms as the suspect behind the wheel of the Pontiac v.an. and her husband Timothy as the driver of the struck Toyota Camry. However, it was not just another hit and run. According to Bottoms, she and her husband had been ,

in a fight earlier in the evening outside the Denver Chop House and Brewery. Bottoms said her stepdaughter intervened and they took the van, fleeing to where her car .was parked on campus in Lot H. "The van drove around a light pole, and broadsided the (car)," the report said. Joe Patterson, an Auraria employee, witnessed the collision. "Patterson stated that the van then pushed the car parallel to the parking space, backed up, then broadsided it again on the driver's door," the report said. After the collision, the van turned onto Colfax Avenue and took off. According to the report, Timothy Bottoms said he borrowed the car from his employer, Stevinson Toyota.

He estimated the damage at, "well over $1,500." In a phone interview, Brandi Bottoms contended the accident was unintentional. She said she was afraid her husband was after her and forgot what gear the van was in. Timothy Bottoms refused to comment. According to Auraria police chief Joe Ortiz, the case has been turned over to Denver police for further investigation. "It is not the policy of this department to comment on ongoing investigations in other police departments," Ortiz said. Dave Flomberg contributed to this story.

Kaplan's critics are -cowardly "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." -Albert Einstein Some professors would have us believe our president is a racist lesbian who hates men Kyle Ringo and all who teach. COMMl1TING Our professors JOURNALISM \ twice evaluated Metro President Sheila Kaplan in 1he spring'.' The -unflattering results have been made public by The Metropolitan staff's crack reporting. Someone called us up and said, "Hey, you dummies want these results?" Here is the gist of the story. Metro full-time tenured professors draw up a bunch of questions to ask themselves about Kaplan. The profs make sure the questions are worded in such a way that the nature of the headhunting mission is not, well, obvious. Kaplan, seeing what is coming a mile a way, asks for a separate evaluation to be done by the Office of Institutional Research. Her wish is granted. Both evaluations con-

elude Kaplan is a big meany. In fact she is a really, really big meany for someone who stands 5-feet-2 inches tall during powderpacked-powder conditions. Along with the evaluations comes a manifesto of quotes from our professors about their feelings toward Kaplan and the job she is doing - or not - as president. The ugliness of some of the anonymous comments is troublesome when nobody seems to have the guts to speak publicly or the proof to back up assertions. One respondent implies that Kaplan is a racist because she declined to award tenureto a black female professor. One prof penned this gem: "She is the most ruthless, autocratic, rude, obnoxious president I have seen in my life." And another wins the limbo -contest with: "This president hires mostly women and lesbians and demotes, transfers, or fires other(s) who do not agree with her." Shame the pitiful souls who wrote such nonsense. To be fair it should be noted that most of the professors focused on the president's job performance and were not slinging mud. ~ome - but not many - said they were happy with the president.

It's laughable that our great open-minded leaders would stoop to accusations of racism or even mention sexual orientation when evaluating Kaplan. I don't know if the president is a lesbian, and I don't care. I doubt anyone has a shred of proof to back up the insinuations that she favors lesbians or any other .group when hiring. So, somebody please tell me why this garbage is a part of what is supposed to be a serious undertaking. My guess? The -professors resort to a~ting like 2-year-olds when the president disagrees with their ideas. Here is what troubles me most. It seems few professors have the spine for making their criticisms public. They hide behind more accusations saying that there is some mysterious pattern of retribution by Kaplan toward those who speak their minds. Yet, nobody has any proof. Maybe the professors should take a different approach. Come out and fight the good fight. Quit throwing sticks and stones and then ducking behind the corner while sticking out your tongues. Who knows, someone who matters might listen.

Police chief scoffs at state law Chief Wiggum strikes again. In the last six years, I've had the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure) of dealing with school officials, city officials, state officials, and police officials of Dave Flomberg similar variety - sherJIVE rifs, troopers, cops and campus cops. I thought I'd seen it all. I Jove surprises. Auraria police Chief Joe Ortiz gave me a good one. He explained to me that his policy actually supercedes state Jaw. That's right. Chief Ortiz falls in line before our state congress, before our governor, before the vot~rs. It all started when a Metropolitan

reporter showed me a police report taken by one of Auraria's finest over an incident that occurred Aug. 11 on campus. Seems some guy and some woman got into an altercation of some sorts. Not too juicy. The report obtained by our reporter was missing a page and almost entirely - and seemingly arbitrarily - blacked out by the over zealous records clerk. Our precocious fledgling ace obtained the same record from Denver police - completely intact. So I called Chief Wig - er, Ortiz, and inquired why this was the case. Needless to say, our conversation did not go swimmingly. "When a case is transferred from my department over to another police agency, it's their decision what information to release, not ours," Ortiz said. I reminded him that regardless of who is

investigating what, his agency is still accountable under the Colorado Open Records Act. If he's got a file in his records, he's got 72 hours to produce it intact or explain why, legally, he can't. His explanation was far from legally supportable. He even said so himself. "Can you show me where in the Jaw it states that you don't have to release information on a case that you have transferred away?" I asked. "It's not in the Jaw," he replied. "It's !'TlY law." At that moment, I half expected a tumbleweed to come blowing across my desk and him to end the conversation giving me until high noon to clear out of town. So, now, we'll have to go to Denver police to find out what happens on this ca11_1pus. Makes you proud, doesn't it?

THE PURSUIT OF THE By Melissa K. . McGuire Photos by John Swift

TO SPRAY? Every grower has their own way of raising the healthiest and biggest peach. Shelley Collette of Palisade, below, says that there is no way to grow without pesticides, but the Hendricks family of Delta, above, said that their two acres is entirely chemical free.

hen I was three years old, I picked a peach from a neighbor's tree in Southern California. I had been anticipating that fruit all day, and I took a single, big bite. My mouth was full, and the flavor was wonderful. Then I examined the void space where peach once was, and I found a big, juicy, halfeaten worm. After a colorful display, I swore off peaches for life. Over the last weekend prior to the fall semester, I was in Colorado's prime peach country, and discovered an enjoyment of my fruity former foe. . The trip back to Denver started at DeVries Buffalo Ranch on 60.25 Road near })lathe with proprietor Elizabeth <DeVries. .s he is a sweet, gracefully aging worn~, and 'Sharp as a tack.

"I had:$ some help to pick com this mornin', but then, of course, they all wanted the day off." And who could blame them as the Sunday morning was already hot - nearly 85 degrees by 9:30 a.m. Three boxes of Olathe Sweet Com and two boxes of Red Globe peaches later, the journey continued. Her peaches were a little pricier than the farm down the road, but I likep Miss Elizabeth, so I didn't mind. What's a couple bucks anyway? After breakfast at a small cafe in Delta, just 12 miles north, the slow trek back to Denver resumed. I was intent on finding a few more produce vendors on the way. On a side road on the north end of Delta, 1575 Road to be precise, I stopped by a peac;h orchard. Hendricks' the name, """!'

A ride on the

Tindall side A professor.'s enthusiastic · dream of teaching and • ovvn1ng a Harley · By Michael Byrd

hris Tindall, Metro's new criminology professor, can't hide his enthusiasm for his new post-retirement life. A peek into the near-barren office of the 56-year-old professor reveals the typical framed diplomas and photos of smiling children. At a desk -next to him, his

wife, Jean, 55, inputs data on a computer, which Tindall confesses he can hardly operate. But, the stack of forensic textbooks on his shelf, as well as an eager smile, betrays his zeal to teach, and the Harley Davidson model on his desk reveals his more adventurous future intentions. Though Tindall had just left a position as head of the New Jersey State Patrol's Criminology Department, Tindall said he is far from slowing down to a roc;king chair's pace. In fact, teaching at Metro and buying a Harley would fulfill two lifelong dreams that he could only realize now, during his retirement. Born in New Jersey, Tindall received his undergraduate chemistry degree from the University of Ohio, and his masters and doctorate degrees from Ohio State University. After college, Tindall hoped to teach Chemistry at a liberal arts college. But as he toured .the east coast hoping to find a teaching position, he noticed the New Jersey State Patrol's ad soliciting chemistry doctors to manage one of their forensic units in a chemical engineering magazine. "I had no forensic background,"

Chris Tinclall, a Metro professor, loves teaching and Harley Oavidsons. Tindall said. "I didn't know what forensic science was. I didn't have a clue." But Tindall found when he interviewed for the job it seemed to meet his two main job criteria: to be helpful to the public and exciting. So in June 1973, Tindall abandoned his dream to teach, and spent the next 26 years investigating

crime scenes. During that time, along with raising three children, Tindall opened two regional crime labs and was promoted to assistant chief of forensic sciences. In 1991, he became the chief of forensic sciences. "I could have stayed in that position

Families converge in piay Tales of extreme - togetherness are explored in the musical Ragtime â&#x20AC;˘ By Ricardo Baca

ithout a historical background of America in 1900, I expected that era to be ~ boring amongst our country's short history. Then I saw Ragtime. Ragtime is a multi-million dollar production that is still smoking on Broadway, and Denver is one of the first slops on its ' national tour. The story is a turn-of-the-century tale of three fictitious families' convergence. It tells of the extremes as black Harlem meets white uptown meets Jewish Lower East Side and the result is, amazingly .... enough, togetherness. Out of which we have WASPs Mother (Rebecca Eichenberger) and Father (Cris Groendaal) from New Rochelle, Coalhouse (Alton F. White) from Harlem, and Tateh (Michael Rupert) as fresh-off" the-boat, unwelcome immigrants. Much of the action takes place in a time when it's unusual for an African American to graduate from

Harvard University. Although these characters are made up, they capture the essence of what was going on at that time. They emphasize the social structure and movement of certain well-known figures of history. Automotive visionary Henry Ford, master escape artist Harry Houdini and black rights activist Booker T. Washington are just some of the figures that help move the Ragtime story along. Lead and supporting characters show the period's mentality that America was the land of opportunity. Indeed, it offered more freedom than most other countries, but at the same time there was racism and social injustice. Yet characters still decided their own fate. The 55-member cast features two exDenverites: Rupert and Eichenberger. The two splendidly portray their characters. Rupert is faced wjth maintaining an authentic accent and being understood while singing. Eichenberger's Mother character was a tough one also, as she was constantly torn between her conservative husband and her own accepting views. But those two characters became secondary upon every entrance of White. His massive stage presence upstaged everyone - in a good way, though. His demanding posture and fitting voice were reminiscent of the period, and his overall performance talent elevated the show to the point of greatness. The costumes are also fitting of the see Ragtime on 16

period, and designer Santo Laquasto had fun with the show's colors. Most scenes placed the white people in pristine whites, the blacks in dark clubbing clothes, and the homeless immigrants in dirty vagabond rags. The exuberant costumes assisted the show's dramatic stage pictures. One

of which takes a bridge carrying fancier J. P. Morgan crushing the homeless and poor below it. The most impressive aspect of the show is the fact that someone actually figured a way to keep a drop-in door set to stay still when someone slams it. It's common in theater for a door to shake, rattle and roll when someone slams it, but not in Ragtimes case.

Prof moves on to Metro. TINDALL from 14

until I died," Tindall said. ''There is no mandatory retirement for civilians in the New Jersey State Patrol." But as he neared 55, Tindall craved a life change. Again, an urge to teach chemistry took hold of him. Although his high position with the New Jersey State Patrol was beginning to payoff, as his work helped restore the department's bases to state-of-the-art crime labs, Tindall said he wanted to move on. "Once again, I found an ad for Metropolitan State College of Denver in the back of a trade journal," Tindall said. "And it was almost like that advertisement was written for me." The professor had visited Colorado before and loved it, finding it a great place to retire. "It had the downside that my family is still on the east coast," Tindall said. "But the job was here. And I had set out to be a teacher. It just struck me that I had taken a 26-year detour in my journey and I was committed to pick it up again." But the reason Tindall is at Metro, he said, is because of his campus visit. "I saw lots of people walking on the campus and they all had, without exception, a smile," he said. "People appeared to enjoy what they were doing." He added that everyone, from the students and faculty to the staff and maintenance crew, seemed to be smiling and

happy. "The faculty seemed laid back and yet were very interested and concerned about teaching at the undergraduate level," Tindall said. "One of the big sales points was that I was the only one wearing a tie. Being someone who hates neckties and having to wear one. for 26 years, it was a plus." Tindall hopes that he can help his students analyze crime scenes well enough to be hired immediately by any law enforcement department. He said that he wants to help students to investigate a scene, while making as few many mistakes as possible. "I saw this as a opportunity to do something that I wanted to do for a while and to put some energy back into my life," 'Ptndall said._ "And yet with the schedule, to be able to work really hard for I 0 months and have extended periods of time to go travel and do the things I would like to do. "I have no misconceptions about teaching. In order to be a good teacher at this college and for my students, I will be working harder here than I have worked for the last 26 years," Tindall said. But don ' t be surprised, if while explaining the finer points of crime scene investigation, a smile of contentment is noticed from a professor who has finally realized his dreams.

years out of soccer By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

The last time Kelly Johannes played soccer for Metro, some of her current teammates were still in elementary school. She is the quintessential Metro student - non-traditional, older and ready to get her degree. What's different about Johannes is she's an athlete at heart. She's a goalie and back on the field after an eight-year absence, during which she worked in the real world, got married and divorced, and learned that life outside college "sucks" without an education. Johannes is a blue-eyed, brownhaired 26-year-old, and she came back to Metro last year. She then returned to the soccer team in May. She's older than the other players, and a little more mature. She was concerned that would hinder her performance and the acceptance of teammates. "I was afraid they'd look at my size and age and be like, no way," she said. There's a good three to four years difference between Johannes and the other senior players, and about eight years difference between her and the freshmen; but her team has been supportive, cheering her on and making her push herself. She's never been happier. You might think when girls get together, they're catty and gossip, Johannes said, but not the women's soccer team. It's given her nothing but support. "I remember this day so vividly," she said. "We went up to Red Rocks, and holy cow, did I think I was gonna die." The team ran up the ramps at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and Johannes said she'd always finish last, being the slowest runner. She felt bad about being last, gasping for breath, ashamed of not being as well conditioned as the others. The team clapped and cheered her on. Assistant coach Saul Contreras said Johannes called him the night after the Red Rocks trip and told him it was the best day of her life. "She did everything everyone else did," Contreras said. "It was just a little slower than everyone else." "As far as building my confidence, the team and coaches are responsible," Johannes said. Her family, too, has supported her.

"My mom, my sisters, my aunt...I couldn't have done it without them," she said. All the hard work seems to be paying off. In the first two games of the season, Johannes combined with fellow goalie Jennifer Fink to shutout both opponents. After her brief time at Metro in 1990, she transferred to Colorado State University. "It was awful," she said. "I was in classes that had 400 students in them. "The professors weren't interested in teaching, they were there for the grant money. One professor told me, point blank, he had no interest in teaching." CSU didn't work for her, and she dropped out and got married. Unfortunately, her marriage didn't work out either. "I had a miscarriage," she said. Her miscarriage wasn't the reason the marriage failed, Johannes said, but it's a big piece.

John Swift/The Metropolitan

KEEPER: Metro goalie Kelly Johannes returned to the women's soccer team in May after an eight-year hiatus, during which she stared down some of life's· more difficult experiences. Johannes struggled through preseason workouts but still managed to eam a starting role.

They blamed each other. They blamed themselves, and Johannes had a hard time holding the marriage together after that. Money, too, played a role in the marriage's disintegration. "Maybe if we had a better chance with an education to fall back on," she said. "Marriage is hard," she said. "My mother said that there are four pieces to a marriage, and if one of those pieces is missing, it can still be okay, but if two or more are missing, it's not going to work." Her mother's words of advice: A coupie must agree on sex, religion, kids and money. The money piece was missing and the marriage didn't survive. Money was tight. Her husband had a hard time keeping a job. They fought about finances. She worked in a bank and didn't enjoy it. She later worked for an ad agency and finally, she realized, she needed to go back to school.

Johannes divorced and rearranged her life. · She wants to teach special education, and now she's more interested in classes. "I never miss class now," she said. She joked about calling in sick to work - the unnerving phone call to a boss, the fake cough, the guilt. She can take a day off now, as a student, and not have to face the pressure of work, but she doesn't. Getting her degree is her goal, and she's focused. "I want to be learning," she said. "I want to be here." Her days are filled with school and soccer practice. Contreras has the same bank as Johannes' aunt, and asked if Johannes was interested in coming back to the team, since she was already attending Metro. Contreras and coach Ed Montojo remembered Johannes from her freshman year at Metro and recalled her work ethic. They recalled her ability to continue and her tenacity on the field. They wanted her back. When she made her decision, with no pressure from the coaches, the three met and Contreras said he didn't recognize Johannes. She wasn't conditioned and she began volunteer practices in May to shape up. Twice a week she was on the field getting her hands and body back inttr practice. She hasn't conditioned her body in years. Exercise hadn't been a priority for her since she left Metro, and she struggles with it. Johannes is competitive though, and she has the drive to succeed. Running and conditioning often put her on the ground. She would lie on the grass and swear she couldn't go on. She was often near tears, Contreras said. But she persisted. She never gave up. "That's part of Kelly's character," Contretras said. Then she started regular practice in August. "I hate running," she said. But it's been a regular part of the two-hour daily practices. The team did relay runs Aug. 31 on the track at Auraria Fields, and she wasn't enthused about it. But, she did it, and she meets all the challenges the coaches give her. Contretras is proud of Johannes. "Did you know she's a 4 .0 student? All this and a 4.0 student. You can't give up on a kid like that," he said. His joy and confidence comes through when he talks . about her, but he's still comfortable teasing her. They act like best friends, joking, teasing and calling each other names. "Kelly's has been remarkable at making a comeback," Montojo said. Johannes has won the respect of her team and coaches. Her life has taken her to deep dark sorrowful places, and yet everyone speaks of her tenacity, her work ethic, her maturity and her personality. Contretras said it best, "Kelly's is a story with heart."

As you are aware, a Climate Survey was conducted during the Spring 1997 academic term and the results analyzed by the President's Tasktorce on College Climate. One of the themes identified that significantly impacts all campus constituents was, "FEAR OF RETALIATION." Our sub-committee needs your help in identifying ways that the college can address this critical issue: "FEAR OF RETALIATION" among Classified Stall, Administrators, Faculty, and Students. We would like to encourage your ideas, concerns and input either by sending an e-mail to one of the committee members or voicing your concerns at the Classified Council, Administrative Council and the Faculty Senate meetings. We would also like to encourage those who do not want to speak publicly concerning this matter to send your concerns anonymously thro4gb campus mail to any of the sub-committee members.

:-.•

Because this is a very importam matter, we would encourage every one to be PfO-active in helping to eliminate this negative aspect of our campus as we continue to create a sate and positive campus climate.
