Internet class rosters groYI Online enrollment increase shows students' demand for flexibility By Rob Larimer , 1

The Metropolitan Traffic on Metro's stretch of the information super highway is growing at a speedy rate. This fall, 735 students are enrolled in 40 Internet courses, nearly six times as many students who enrolled in Internet courses in fall 1996, when the courses were introduced. The traffic' will continue to increase, said Andrew Breckel, assistant vice president of extended education. This spring, administrators are planning to offer 80 "virtual" classes, which they expect to attract an estimated J,2()().1 ,400 additional students. The explosive interest in Internet courses reflects a

growing demand for more flexibility in higher education, Breckel said. "Most of the students enrolled in the courses at The Met live and work in the metro Denver area but have a difficult time fitting on-campus classes into their schedules," he said. "Internet classes are the only way some of them can work and maintain family responsibilities while still pursuing college credit." The popularity of Internet classes could possibly be due to the characteristics of the average Metro student, who's age 27 and holds at least a part-time job. "I'm eager to see how students will do in Internet courses," said C.J. White, chair of the African American Studies department. The department does not have Internet courses, but White said he plans to add at least

one introductory course this spring. White said Internet courses have the same grade distribution as traditional classes. To create some consistency between courses from different departments, the college has entered into an agreement with the Jones Education Corp., which is working to maintain a consistent appearance and create a standardized format. "This will make it easier to navigate between Web pages for students who are taking a number of the courses," Breckel said. This fall, students can take Internet courses in accounting, astronomy, Chicano studies, criminal investigation, economics, geography, Middle East politics and speech communication.

SGA .to fill hvo posts By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan

._.

r:....

Metro's student government expects to fill two vice president positions within the n~xl couple of weeks. The move will fill all 13 positions for the first time since the group's juggling began April 30. Since their inauguration, five of the 13 members have switched positions, leaving the vice president of administration and finance and the vice president of student fees positions vacant. Students voted the members into office in the Student Government Assembly elections April 6-8. Ruth Burus, Metro's Colorado Student Association representative, said the internal juggling doesn't look good to students. "As for Ruth's concern about, ' we ran for a position why don' t we stick with it,' I can see that point," said Andy Nicholas, Metro's student government president. Three of the five movements were the results of resignations, and the other two involved internal movements. Outside of vice president scrambling, one movement involved Terri Haney repla(!ing Krystal Bigley as chief justice May 28. The position of vice president of administration and finance will be

appointed by Nicholas Sept. 10 at the next student government meeting. The vice presidents vote whether to retain the appointee or not. The four applicants for the monthand-a-half-vacant position are Catherine Campbell, John-Paul Whitaker-Krcik, Teresa Thomas and Helen Giron-Mushfiq. The opening for vice of student fees is planned to be filled by Sept. 17. There aren't any applications for the post, and the 2 p.m. Sept. 17 application deadline is on the horizon . The first resignations came early, when Sarah EchoHawk Vermillion resigned as vice president of administration and finance on April 30 to take a job at the American fodian College Fund. Aussie Rabih replaced EchoHawk Vermillion until July 30 when Janet Damon resigned as vice president of diversity and Rabih moved into Damon's post. The next departure came with Jane Duncan, who left her spot as representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board for a job as the Colorado Student Association's campus affairs director. On Sept. 3, Jim Hayen, former vice president of student o(ganizations, was selected to fill Duncan's post as a representative for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

"My loyalty is for students on this campus, period," Hayen said. "I don't put any priorities over any other students regardless of the school they go to." SACAB representative Mau Johnson said he sees Hayen as an asset to the position. "There aren't very many people around who know the student union and can deal with the people (Tivoli administrators) on their level as Jim Hayen," he said. Jeremy Perkins slid into Hayen' s position, leaving the vice president of student fees open. Most vice presidents said the restructuring will strengthen Student Government to serve students better. "What we're doing right now is trying to keep our student government strong," said Giovanni Stone, vice president for student services. "It really shows how (Hayen and Perkins) are devoted. They're willing to take on a new position." Such movements are nothing new to Student Government, which during the 1997-98 academic year had seven out of 12 members resign, two of whom were reinstated. - Resignations arc inevitable, Karmin Trujillo, former Metro student government president, said in April.

Take it to court

· Faculty senate: Yes on Fall Break The Faculty Senate Executive Committee voted unanimously Sept. 3. to add Wednesday to fall break this year. Metro President Sheila Kaplan said this year, however, the campus will be open, and faculty may exercise the option of cancelling their classes. She added all staff will be required to work, unless a vacation day is approved.

Auraria seeking future parking Auraria has b~gun bargaining with two companies to try and square away I 0 acres for future parking, an Auraria administrator said. Dean Wolf, executive vice president for administration, said the property, which is owned by Atlas Metal Co. and Burlington Northern Railroad, is west of the campus at Fourth Street and Interstate 25 and at Walnut and Curtis streets. Wolf said negotiations on the deal could take up to a year. "(You) hold a match up lo them to see if they're moving. They're really slow," Wolf said 'of purchasing real estate. He also said if Auraria is able lo purchase the lots, it won't be ready until fall 2000. He estimates the costs at $6 to $10 per square foot depending on the location.

Student assaulted as people watch Seven people assaulted a single Metro student on campus during the first week of class, according to police reports. The incident happened Aug. 28 around I p.m. near St. Cajetans Center. The alleged victim, a 17-yearold female Metro freshman, said witnesses "mostly just looked. "I was embarrassed," she said. "I didn't want to go to the cops. I sat in my car and cried." According to the police report, the victim suffered minor injuries to her head, face, arms and legs. Campus police made no arrests.

"The team seems excited," said Justin Gines, Metro flight team captain. "We have about five weeks left (until the event), and I think by then we will be ready." Christian said the Air Force_is not unbeatable, but they have several advantages over the other flight teams. "They have about 300 people sign up for their flight team and are able to chose the top 10," he said. "They have to win, they're the Air Force, if they don't look good in this, they are in big trouble." One of Metro's biggest disadvantages is the fact that the team does not own their own planes or receive funding from the school, as some of the other flight teams do, Gines said. The team members have to rent their planes at around $54 per flight hour, which each member pays for themselves. "They are limited only by their wallet," Christian said, "which sometimes is a big limit." Used planes cost around $40,000.

THE MUIOPOllTAM

EchoHawk Vermillion, Janet Damon and Jane Duncan. Additionally, Jim Hayen and Jeremy Perkins shifted from one seat to another. Two of the seats arc still empty. Hardly what voters had in mind. There's a process that is supposed to fill these positions. It's called an election. But a low election turnout is no excuse for making commitments you can't keep. And the student represeniatives' lack of commitment is a big reason why so few students vote. Why should they vote for someone who, odds are, will leave office before finishing their term? For that matter, why should they vote at all under such circumstances? It's disappointing because student government finally looks like it could affect real change. For example, thanks to student government, Metro President Sheila Kaplan agreed to extend the fall break from classes by one day. That's not the full week they talked about during elections, but it's better than nothing. Another plus, it looks like students will have a comprehensive book listing the results of student evaluations of professors sometime soon. Not bad, but student government could go even farther if it was firing on all cylinders.

They are blue and square, and Ricardo Baca although they're little in size, YO YIGGIDY YO their importance can't be measured. If pressed, they open the door. They are there to make Auraria Campus accessible for people with disabilities. 路 It is state law, you know, for every building to be accessible for anyone and everyone. But what happens is they get misused. The ignorant jock type like to make a spectacle out of it and samurai kick it. Others press it, even though they are perfectly capable of opening the door, and wait for it to slowly open. A colleague of mine even mocks people with disabilities by slamming the button with his fist, then miming a wheelchair movement through it. I adore being the party pooper who thinks these acts are moronic and immoral. The bultons aren't there for the wannabe samurai. They aren't there for the smart asses. They aren't there for the lazy, weak-willed people who end up using them most often. They are there for the people who can't open the door otherwise. The buttons make life much easier for people in wheelchairs. The buttons make life brighter for people carrying ten textbooks, a lunchbox and a Pepsi. Once again, the college has to be completely accessible for people with disabilities, so it is mandatory that these bultons are working. But I can't count the times that I've passed a button bearing an out-of-order sign.

(.~ 路~.

All of this because some fool tried to be witty. This wave of laziness overwhelms me. A few weeks ago, The Metropolitan published two stories and a brief about people with disabilities on campus and how they have been getting jacked. School admin.istrators took a tour of the campus with students with disabilities to find out the campus "bugs." They found a few, too. On one hand, some students with disabilities can't get up the "handicap accessible" ramp because it's too thin. On the other hand, they can't read the Braille on the almighty ATM machine. Imagine that: not being able to get into a classroom, or not being able to get instant cash when you need it for lunch. And now the stupid button isn't opening the door. (If this all happened in one day, it would make for one shitty day.) But really, the bugs turned out to be the students and faculty who abuse the buttons. A quick question for those of you who use the buttons needlessly: Is it really that hard to push or pull the Arts door open? How about the Tivoli door? I didn't think it was. There is a door at a former job of mine that was impossible for one person to open. If I had a blue button on that, I might have used it in case of an emergency. But I'm talking about this campus and this campus' doors. To investigate this dilemma, I just left my office on the third floor of the Tivoli, ran downstairs and opened the main door by Domino's. I opened it with my pinkie. Does that say I have more power in my little pinkie than you have in your entire soul? Yes. You don ' t agree? Visit me in The Metropolitan office and you'll see.

Computer access helps student Editor: My name is Mitch McKinney. I have cerebral palsy. This means I have a difficult time speaking, moving and typing. It was obvious that I couldn't go to work right out of high school because I didn't have any marketable skills. After obtaining my associate's degree from Arapahoe Community College, I enrolled in Metro. I decided to major in Human Services because I wanted to assist other people with disabilities. I thought I could be a counselor, but soon

learned this was going to take too much work. So I went into the nonprofit emphasis. When I first started at Metro, there wasn't a Combined Computer Access Center for students with disabilities. Before this computer lab opened, I had to rely on the computers in the Disability Services Office which meant scheduling a room to work on a computer. That arrangement was not too bad, but it took much coordination on my part for me to utilize these computers. If I

wasn't worrying about my bus coming early, then I was concerned that I would have to be finished at a certain time. Since the lab opened, I use the computer to write papers and do all of my homework.

Editor: I am a part-time faculty in the Social Work Program and also an alumni of Metro. I want to first applaud you for your coverage in the recent Metropolitan of the accessibility issue on campus. However, I would like to point out that articles used language that is considered labeling mixed in with person-first language. One sentence contained both the terms "students with disabilities" and "the disabled." For many years many people with disabilities have labored to get the news media,

especially the print media, to pay attention to person-first language when referring to people who have disabilities. Many excuses have been heard such as "it takes up so much more column space" or headlines have to be short" and so on. We have changed a lot of language over the years around a lot of other issues, and this seems to be the final frontier.

Marxism is no solution Editor: I am writing in response to a student's letter found in a previous edition of The Metropolitan concerning Marxism. I am deeply concerned about the Marxist and Socialist philosophies that are very prevalent on campuses around the world. I must refute John Cassella's statement about there being a better economic system than Capitalism. His implied "better way" has failed horribly in Russia and Eastern European countries with disastrous consequences for its citizens. Marxist philosophies require the _ removal of all possessions from the hands of the individual placing them in the hands of the state. The result of this economic revolution is supposedly the disappearance of classes resulting in a utopia where each works "according to his ability" and each receives "according to his need." It is foolish to believe a highly intelligent and competent person will work to his potential if he is getting the same reward as a lazy person doing less-skilled work. I

would not work my butt off all day to support my lazy neighbor and I know you wouldn't either. The Communist party that is and was in power in many Eastern European countries is in direct contradiction to Marxism itself, which preaches dissolution of class distinctions. The party is crueler and more in control than any bourgeois society in the whole world. Citizens of these Communist countries are forced to live in poverty while their leaders abound in wealth. I beg of you, fellow citizens of the U.S.A. to examine the Marxist ideologies being touted through our land. Capitalism is no-t a perfect economic system; there are people on the top and bottom, yet it is far better than the Marxist system. We live in the richest nation on Earth with the highest standard of living. If you don't like it here, get out! God bless America.

Zac Heismann Metro student

Editor: I write you in order to respond to my apparent comrade, John Cassella, and his commentary, "Capitalism is doomed to failure. " Firstly, when we say that Karl Marx "predicted" the fall of capitalism - "once it becomes a global phenomenon" - we must also remember that he praised it as revolutionary in its own right, and that it exhibits a cosmopolitan character more than any other mode of production that preceded it. In other words, international capitalism constitutes something new in the history of numair ' develdpment and is a_ major step toward eradicating the divisions created by the struggle for recognition. Secondly, I hesitate to trust communists who use the term "predict" in reference to the work of Marx. He merely analyzed the inherent "contradictions" of capitalism, laid out the results of his analysis - very verbosely and with increasing complexity (as his own development quickened) - and stated that these contradictions would be resolved with the negation of private property and by the proletariat through the implementation of institutions which democratize the means of production. To say he "predicted" makes him sound like a psychic, or a prophet; let us keep in mind he was a scientist. Lastly, most importantly, I offer the words of Michael Walzer to all my comrades: "The power of an ideology ... lies in its capacity to activate its adherents and to change the world." (Revolution of the Saints, 1965) Without "practical-critical revolutionary activity" no change will come, capitalism will rebound from its woes and exploitation will continue to real its ugly head.

Montoya-: An open door â&#x20AC;˘

Assistant dean believes in Âˇhelping Metro students find their scholastic direction By Michael Byrd he door to Tony Montoya's office never seems to close. Metro's assistant dean of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences said he wants to be able to help students any way he can: From assuring equal access for all students to helping them adjust to their new scholastic environment. As he sat at a desk positioned to notice anyone seeking his help just beyond his ever-open door, Montoya, 45, said he knows quite well how it feels to be a Metro student seeking direction .. From Los Animos in southeastern Colorado, Montoya came to Metro in 197?, majoring in business administration. As he neared graduation, he said he was not really sure where his degree would lead him. "I really wasn't even thinking about it," he said. "I was in my last year of college here at Metro when I found out I was working out of the affirmative action office." As he pondered his options, Montoya said, a position with the office opened as another administrator left, and he applied for the position. Metro allowed him to sign a waiver making it possible to work for the affirmative action office days and attend school at night.

Montoya worked for that department for the next seven years after graduation, when he moved to Metro's School of Letters, Arts and Sciences' advising office. He also helped coordinate Metro's Health Careers, sharing his 23 years experience as a member of the Army National Guard, serving some portion of that time within a medical unit. Montoya joined the Guard in 1968, ultimately attaining the rank of sergeant first class. During this period he went from operations with his medical unit to being a drill instructor at the National Guard Academy. Montoya later went to work at the state headquarters. "When I was there, I worked out of the affirmative action office," Montoya said, adding that when he eventually attended Metro he decided to continue Lo work for the campus chapter of the office. "When I was here at Metro, I hooked up with the affirmativ~ action program to get more exposure. And when I became a full time employeei I just stayed as a part of a commitment to the office." As a result, Montoya"serves as chairman of Metro's Affirmative Action Advisement comm i t tee , w hic h reviews Metro's policies and procedures, advising PresidentSheila Kaplan as to how the committee can help serve the col-

lege's diverse community. So, because Metro helped him when he needed guidance, ultimately providing him with the job he enjoys so much today, Montoya said he wants to help all students sort out their college careers. Montoya stressLaurine Moore/The Metropolitan es the fact that Metro supported Assistant Dean Tony Montoya, a metro alumnus, him throughout his opens his door to Metro students seeking guidcareer, especially ance toward their career goals. when he sought his master's degree.

"Many students, when they were part of that is a matter of nurturing your accepted into the program (the National own faculty, doing what they need to do to Urban Fellowship) had to quit jobs then improve themselves educationally."

"Naturally, I would be lying if I said we couldn't always do better," he said.

Telepathic Neanderthals learn to kill

[

A timid adventure leads readers to a predictable ending By Tim Fields tradition of storytelling has followed humans out of the caves and onto printed paper. John Darnton's book In Neanderthal, the reader is tantalized by the possibility of a living Neanderthal in modern times, yet only encounters a hum-drum adventure with a predictable ending. Darnton, a bureau chief for The New York Times, presents a menagerie of spiritless characters that arc more like cardboard cutouts than passionate scientists on the verge of a phenomenal discovery. The main characters, Matt and Susan, are thrust together on a project to find their old professor who is missing in the mountainous wasteland of Tajikistan.

Cover art by Kenneth Garrett

Kellicut, the old professor, was searching for Neanderthals. Matt and Susan had been lovers in the past, and this element of love lost, love found is awkward and unnecessary. It doesn't help in creating the emotional realness of the characters. However, it does give a readerÂˇ more dialogue to climb over. Eventually, Matt and Susan reconsider their grudges and fall into each other's arms amidst a peaceful community of telepathic Neanderthals. Yes, telepathic Neanderthals. The scientific information on hominid prehistory is basic and easy to understand, yet it stuck out of the dialogue instead of being a part of it. Through their own bumbling, Mau and Susan create a war between this peaceful Eden-like village and a warlike group of Neanderthals li ving inside a mountain. They even mention to themselves that as scientists, they have no right to interfere, but they do anyway. And in the classic 1950s Bmovie tradition, they teach these peaceloving creatures to kill. And killing is

what happens. Yet with all the smashed bodies and severed heads that tumble to the ground, Matt and Susan survive to continue their love affair. In Neanderthal , good vanquishes evil. Homo Sapiens triumph over the bad guys, muddle around in meaningless emotional connicts and teach pacifist Neanderthals how lo kill their own kind. What's so good about that?

His wrinkled brow, emphasized by make-up, show all the expressions you need to see.

'Brilliant insight' via coach's B.S.

John Swift/The Metropolitan

FLOORED: Metro sophomore Laura Darling picks herself up off the floor Sept. 8 at Auraria Events Center during a match with No. 5 Cal-State Bakersfield. The No. 13 Roadrunners won the match in four games.

but , n o cigar •••

By Kyle Ringo The Metropolitan

Underneath the six banners representing past powerhouse volleyball teams in the Auraria Events Center, the current Metro team played like a champion Sept. 4 in its first two matches of the Colorado Premier Challenge tournament. But Sept. S, when the Roadrunners had a chance to make a name for themselves in the championship bracket, they failed to win a game. No. l BYU-Hawaii beat Metro in three games to move on to a championship match with No. 3 Regis University, Metro's most bitter rival. BYU-Hawaii rolled over the Rangers in three games as well to win the championship of what has become the best Division II tournament. The Roadrunners lost the third-place match in three games to Central Missouri State because they were tired and unfocused, coach Joan McDermott said. "(Sept. 4) took so much out of us, by the time we

. got to Central Missouri - not to make an excuse but we were worn out," McDermott said. The coach said she made it clear to her team that she believes the Roadrunners failed to make the most of a huge early season opportunity to at least play well against the top teams. But she isn't dwelling on it. "When I say we threw it in a blackhole, that was after we looked at the film," McDermott said. "I think we have the talent, but we don't have it together as a team yet. "As to why that is, I'm knocking my head." Seniors Amy Buchanan and Kelly Young were selected to the 12-woman All-Tournament Team. Young echoed her coach and blamed herself for not playing well despite being honored as a standout. "I think we were just a little worn out from (Sept. 4)," Young said. "I don't feel like anyone was really motivated." Nine of the top 25 teams in the country participated in the tournament, yet Metro fell two positions fo the national poll after finishing fourth. The Roadrunners had been ranked No. I I one week before.

At first , I was nattered when I was asked to write a column for Th e Metropolitan, but then I became a bit nervous when I realized that I did not take one single English class in my four (OK, seven) years of college. So here it is, take it or leave it. My intention is to give the Brian Crookham loyal sports page readers some COACH'S brilliant insight into the life of a CORNER college coach. It might, however, tum out to be more like the story line from Forrest Gump. I would like to start with one of the most traumatic days of my life. I remember silting at my high school reunion and being asked the ever-popular question, "What are you doing now?" I puffed out my chest and proudly proclaimed, "I'm a college soccer coach." After a raising of the eyebrows, the interrogator auempted to act interested and responded with, "ls that a full-time job?" From that point on, I was doomed to a long evening of fielding questions and statements such as: • "What do you do the rest of the year?" •"Did you graduate from college?" And my personal favorite: •"Well then, you must be good at golf?" I came up with very intelligent-sounding responses s·uch as: • "A lot." •"Yes."

And my personal lworite: •"Not bad." By the end of the evening, I was caught up explaining that college coaching is a profession in which people must perform highly skilled tasks like dual-deck VCR operation, using one of those cool light keys that look like a divot replacer, video camera tripod assembly, strategic cone placement and tying shoes for liule kids at soccer clinics just to name a few. Everyone was impressed with the life I had created for myself. It never occurred to these people (who you might think would be· smarter than I am since I was repeatedly told that they make 10 times the money I do) that things like recruiting, monitoring academic progress, fundraising, community service projects and putting on camps and clinics would enter into the picture. This column will be my attempt to erradicate the ignorance we have as a society regarding the duties and overall importance of college coaches. As an educational tool, I will, over the next few weeks, attempt to give you a semi-serious look at the world of college athletics from the perspective of a Division II coach. I'll end by answering one of my classmates' questions. I do have a B.S. in biology, but I guess the B.S. part is used more frequently than the biology part these days.

When his bat hit the ball in Busch Stadium Sept. 8, sending a low line drive over the left field fence, I wasn't staring into the glow of a television. I still haven't let myself watch the replay. I heard the tape of the radio call during my drive home from work that night. The announcer Kyle Ringo called McGwire the new "Sultan of Swat" which COMMITIING was one of many nicknames Babe Ruth earned. I JOURNALISM realized I liked the image of McGwire's historic moment plenty with out having actually seen it. Why ruin a good thing? I have an image in my mind of Ruth's 60th home run, but I have never seen it either. I don't mind one bit. I grew up listening to sports on the ~adio. Yes, I also watched many events on the tube. I can't speak for everyone, but I swear you can watch a game on the radio. And most of the time it's better than ESPN or FOX. I used to listen to Colorado Rockies games - the hockey team - in the basement of my parent's house. My brothers and I fashioned hockey sticks out of broomhandles, cardboard and tons of tape. We bloodied each other's noses and shins plenty between periods and during commercials. We sat silent staring at the walls when the game was on. We were mesmerized. We made similar arrangments for Denver Nuggets games. A coathanger was fashioned into a hoop. We relentlessly jammed our fingers on the ceiling going for the slam. There was a time when the University of Colorado wasn't very good at football. Its games were only available on radio. But I can describe Walter Stanley returning a punt for a touchdown like it was happening right here, right now. The truth is, I was at work when Big Mac maxed out. Initially, I was disappointed not being a part of the moment. But after mulling it over for awhile, it reminded me of these experiences that I hadn't thought of in a very long time. For a short time, Mark McGwire's achievement made me feel like a kid again, sitting in the basement of my parent's house about to take a tennis ball in the teeth. No other image could replace that.·

CAP the Rockies.

1 er e,.,a!

1. ,.,,

the Event CAP the Rockies is your opportunity to see the spectacular front range of the Rocky Mountains while helping to fight AIDS. A six-day, '-350-plus mile bicycle ride through the back roads Qf the Rockies, CAP the Rockies will take its riders through aspen groves and pine forests, next to rushing streams and 14,000-foot mountain peaks. The ride visits two national forests and one national park, passes Pikes Peak and the 14,256-foot Longs Peak near Estes Park. Riders will be welcomed by Colorado's front range cities of Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Boulder. And in one remarkable finale, the riders will be welcomed back to Denver by an expected crowd of more than 13,000 walkers in AIDS Walk Colorado.

the Goals

.. <

-:-·-

CAP the Rockies is committed to achieving its goal of returning at least 75 percent of contributions raised by riders to the agencies benefiting from the event. To that end, the event producer, The Chablin Group, West Hollywood, Calif., has agreed to accept as full compensation for its services, 15 cents of each dollar raised by riders. (The Chablin Group does not receive any other compensaton from other sources, including corporate donations, registration fees, ad sales, ect.) The corporations, business~s and and communities of Colorado are being asked to underwrite the costs of the event to ensure that ride goals are met.

the Agencies CAP the Rockies is a benefit for the AIDS Projects of Colorado, including Colorado AIDS Project of Denver (CAP); Boulder County AIDS Project (BCAP); Northern Colorado AIDS Project (NCAP), based in Fort Collins; the Southern Colorado AIDS Project (SCAP), based in Colorado Springs/ Pueblo/Alamosa; and Western Colorado AIDS Project (WCAP), based in Grand Junction. Working on behalf of their communities, these organizations provide vital services to the citizens throughout the state and represent Colorado's front line in the battle against AIDS. These non-profit agencies rely heavily on private-sector funding to provide these essential pro.grams.
