Snafu frees stun-gun su.s pect By Kerney Williams The Metropolitan

•

Denver police say a paperwork mixup resulted in the release Oct. 16 of a man whom they say attacked a woman with a stun gun on campus. Judge Bria_n Campbell issued an arrest warrant and set bail at $5,000 Oct. 20, for Ulises Vier-Solis, the man accused of

using a stun gun on campus. Court documents say that he was released due to a "clerical error." Vier-Solis was arrested Oct. 2-on suspicion of us ing_ a stun gun on Emi lchihara, a Japanese exchange student, in the first floor women's rest room in the West Classroom. He fled the restroom when lchihara screamed, and was later apprehended by students and turned over

to campus police. Court documents said Vier-Solis was -arraigned Oct. 16 in Denver District Court, where he was to be charged with third degree assault with a stun gun, a class five felony. The crime carries a possible threeyear prison sentence. An affidavit by Detective Pennington of the Denver police department said the case file was assigned to a misdemeanor unit and no charging

"Fortunately, we acted immediately to rectify the situation." Sims said he will file charges as soon as Vier-Solis is again in custody.

Anti-gay harassment increases at Auraria By Jason Kokaska The .Metropolitan Twelve reports of anti-gay harassment have been filed with Auraria's office of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Student Services since the Matthew Shepard rally Oct 12. The office receives 12 reports a year on average. "The Shepard death felt like an assault on the whole community," said Karen Bensen, director of GLBT. "Gays are feeling more fearful about sharing their sexual orientation." Gabriel Hermelin, of GLBT, had a note left on her car about her rainbow sticker.

"Why do you need a sticker on your truck to tell me who you f~ck?" it read. "That was a cowardly act. The person who left that note obviously did not understand the effect of their actions. Being a lesbian is much more than who I sleep with," Hennelin said. Karen Bensen Equality Colorado has a fonn for students who have been harassed to fill out in the GLBT office. Students may do this anonymously or can use their names to receive help if necessary.

One anonymous report contained acts of verbal harassment by a stranger in one ofAuraria's parking lots. A student was approached by a stranger and asked if the person was "one of those queers they're killing?" Linda Cecile, program assistant for GLBT, said professors need to allow representatives from GLBT to come in and speak about these issues. "Homophobia is the last prejudice, but there is no legal recourse," said Cecile. There are various services on campus to help gay and lesbian students in need: The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans Student Services; the Counseling Center; the Office of Student Life; Office of Equal Opportunity and Campus Police and Security located at I 200 7th St.

SchoeHler:

Ovvens: Keep tuition • • compet1t1ve

Cut college hassle By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan Cutting down on bureaucratic hassle is the best way to improve higher education in Colorado, gubernatorial candidate Gail Schoettler told a crowd on campus Oct. 19. "How many times have some of you walked into financial aid and all you do is get a long list of rules that you have to follow?" Schoettler asked students in the Tivoli Turnhalle. It's that kind of headache that leads many students to forget about college altogether, she said. Schoettler came to campus for a debate with Republican challenger Bill Owens. If elected governor, she said she would work to see that college professors and administrators are easily available to advise students. She also said colleges should track graduates as they enter the workforce to assure they received adequate training to be successful. If students aren't doing well after \. they graduate, col1 e g es should change t h e i r approach to fix the probshe "We need to be constantly to willing adapt," she said. Owens stuck to criticizing Colorado colleges for tuition rate increases that he says price some students out of an education. "I'm afraid that we're moving toward a system where only the wealthy can go to college," Owens said. Schoettler said the Colorado Commission on Higher Education made the right decision recently when it backed down from penalties for schools that fail to meet goals for ethnic minority graduation rates. ''Legally, they had no choice," she said. "Because it would look like quotas." But she stopped short of condemning affirmative action completely. "I would not be where I am today if it weren't for affirmative action," she said. Schoettler was elected lieutenant governor in 1994. Before that, she was state treasurer for eight years and president of the Denver Children's Museum board for 10 years.

Colorado colleges and universtttes need to keep tuition competitive with universities around the country, said Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Owens. "We have the best system of higher education in the world, which is why so many students attend here," he said. "But tuition in Colorado has been increasing far faster than the rate of inflation. I think we need better management in higher education, just as I think we need beuer management in virtually any bureaucracy. Bureaucracies tend to expand and sometimes that means less dollars for the students and more dollars for the overhead." Owens said as governor, he would appoint members to college governing boards that would "be driven by a desire to see more dollars in the classroom rather than overhead." Owens also said he agrees with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's decision to no longer penalize colleges and universities for not graduating a set percentage of minority students. "I don't think we should have set quotas for graduation based on race or sex," he said. "When we ask the question of affirmative action, we need to be specific. If affirmative action means any type of aggressive outreach in a way that means underrepresented parts of our population have an equal place at the table, then I'm for it. However, if affinnative action means that because of the color of your skin, sex or sexual preference, you get special treatment, then I'm opposed to it. "Graduation ought to mean the person has completed a set course assignment," he added. Bill Owens graduated from Austin State University in 1973 and received his masters of public administration from the University of Texas in 1975. He moved to Colorado in 1977.

New faces on college board? New governor could affect trustee appointments for the State Colleges in Colorado By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan The Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado will have five out of seven positions open to be appointed by the next governor. The board sets policies, establishes programs and allocates funds via the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for Adams State College, Mesa State College, Metro and Western State College. "I would appoint people to governing boards who would look at why tuition raises twice as fast as inflation," said Bill

Owens, one of the gubernatorial candidates 路who debated at Auraria Oct. 19. Owens said candidates don't discuss the specifics of who they will appoint. Pam Wagner, the board's lobbyist for 12 years, said traditionally, a republican governor will try to appoint members so there is at least one more republican than democrat, and a democratic governor will do the same. Wagner said over 路 the years the board's political affiliations haven't been as important as the task of being responsible watchdogs for tax-payer dollars. She said members of both parties on the board tend to be fiscally conservative.

Cile Chavez, the board's chairwoman, said, "We don't really function from a partisan point of view." Chavez also nQted that Owens is~'t in favor of Referendum B, a measure that would give money to colleges for building costs, 路which would mean the colleges would have to borrow money from .the general funds if it's not passed. Wagner said, "Both of these people (Schoettler and Owens) have shown commitments to education." She said Schoettler once served as a board member and Owens served on the education committee in the legislature.

U.S. Pacifist Party premiers By Rob Larimer The Metropolitan On Nov. 3, when Democrats and Republicans engage in their final electoral battle, Coloradans will be the first in history to have the option of voting for the U.S. Pacifist Party. For the party to be included on the 98 ballot, he had to acquire 1,000 voters' signatures, more than half of which he said carrie from students at Auraria Campus. The party's Colorado can-

dictate for senate is 30-year-old Gary Swing of Denver. He is the youngest candidate running for senate this year and is the first candidate from the Pacifist Party to be included on a ballot ever. "We support the abolition of war," said Swing. "We believe that any kind of violent warfare is a crime against humanity. It is morally unacceptable and a practical mistake. We want a non-violent government." Swing said the Pacifist

Party wants a non-violent military that would defend and intervene m foreign and domestic affairs by organizing and supporting mass demonstrations, as well as training foreign countries in non-violent tactics and strategies. The party, founded by Bradford Lyttle in Chicago in 1984, also supports the worldwide destruction of all weapons of war, the abolition of the death penalty, universal health care and full federal funding for education.

"We have no chance of winning," Swing said. "But it is essential that we try to change the voting system in the U.S. Our biggest goal was to actually get a candidate on the ballot." Jenny Krejci, 22, a Metro student and Republican, said she's never heard of the U.S. Pacifist Party and still plans to vote Republican. "I don't agree with any of their views except for trying to change the voting system," she said.

Colorado children are helping to increase voter turnout this election season. Kids Voting Colorado, a co-sponsor of Monday's gubernatorial debate at the Tivoli Oct. 19, encourages students and their parents to participate in the electoral process by voting. The organization conducted a poll at the debate Oct. 19. Audience members were given ballots and asked to vote for the gubernatorial candidate of their choic.e. Gail Schoettler won the impromptu poU with 69 percent of the vote. Bill Owens received 29 percent, Libertarian candidate Sandra Johnson received 2 percent and American Constitution Party candidate Tim Leonard received no votes. Through school programs, children are encouraged to help their parents register to vote. The children accompany their parents to the poUs on election day and cast their own mock votes. This "trickleup effect" helps increase voter turnout while educating future voters about current issues and the election process. "We provide an effective, straightforward program for increasing civic participation among current and future generations of voters," said Jeff Short, executive director of Kids Voting Colorado. Sponsored by Kids Vote USA, Kids Vote Colorado currently includes more than 240,000 students and 5,700 teachers in the program. More than 8,000 volunteers have signed up to assist student voters at the polls on :Nov. 3. Kids Vote Colorado is a non-partisan, non-profit organization. The curriculum avoids teaching about specific candidates and issues, instead focusing on the electoral process. They are seeking volunteers for the upcoming election.

Iranian nationals confused about laYI interpretation By Lobat Asadi The Metropolitan An Iranian Colorado State University professor might be unable to continue his research and teaching in the United States because of a prohibition on goods and services imported from Iran. · "If I have to leave the United States it will be a terrible point in my life," Kaveh Aminsarhangpour said. In May 1995, President Clinton prohibited importing Iranian goods or services into the United States. The President said in an executive order, "All agencies of the United States .Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order." Auraria has three Iranian students who could be affected by the order, said an Institutional Research spokeswoman. The Spring Language Institute on Auraria campus has several Iranian students enrolled in the English as a second language program. These students will eventually apply for admission at one of the institutions on Auraria, said a Spring spokeswoman. Iranians apply for admission to Spring Language Institute every semester, added the spokeswoman. Aminsarhangpour said, "The main

problem is that different government agencies have different opinions about the word 'resident.' I have no idea of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's opinion, which is more important then the others." The INS has not released any statements according to immigration bulletins. "Because of the State Department's order, offering a work visa to Iranian people has become illegal. I have been able to extend it until now, since I have been livUnited States." ing in the Aminsarhangpour explained that he has a restricted-work visa. Aminsarhangpour is a doctor in veterinary obstetrics, reproduction and reproductory diseases. He taught previously at the University of Illinois and recently taught veterinary students at CSU and worked in the school's veterinary hospital. The professor said he intends to increase Colorado's cattle industry's sales with a reproductive management procedure for large dairy operations he pioneered. The professor plans to set a reference center for dairy operations with high profit results with public and environmental health in mind. "I do not know what my future will be if I cannot stay in the U.S.," he said.

Tivoli administrators track foot traffic By Janet Christine Austin The Metropolitan

Tivoli administrators conducted surveys Sept. 12-15 to examine students' use of the building. They found approximately 133,485 people visited the building during the week, compared with approximately 50,000 during a one-week survey during the 1998 summer semester. "It's basically a pedestrian traffic count," said Barb Weiske, director of the

Tivoli. "We utilize the infonnation to tell us how many people are using the building," she said. Weiske said the pedestrian traffic survey shows the habits of people visiting the Tivoli and helps to identify where the people enter. "The southeast comer by Domino's Pizza is the most heavily trafficked area during the week because traditional day students enter here. Approximately 60 percent of the traffic enters here," Weiske said. Although the entrance is tight and uncomfortable, students use it because it is

the closest entrance to the Tivoli from the classrooms of the Auraria campus, she said. Weiske said long-range plans need to be developed to improve this entrance. The Tivoli staff has discussed building an atrium entrance as a possible solution for the southeast entrance traffic. "The problem with widening this entrance is it is sandwiched between two historical portions of the building, the Tumhalle and Domino's Pizza space, and we can't modify it," Weiske said. There are structural concerns with the

building, and walls may need to be rebuilt before any future planning can be done. "The first priority is taking care of the building. We want to be good custodians," Weiske said. Weiske said the north and west entrances are the most frequently used entrances during the weekends because people visit the AMC theater or Boiler Room restaurant. "The most heavily trafficked facility at the beginning of each semester is the bookstore," Weiske said.

Promises to keep? 1lH METIOPOUTAM

It's politics - and cliches - as usual. EDITORIAL Gubernatorial candidates Gail NEws: Schoettler and Bill Colorado candidates Owens followed longfor governor held a established tradition debate oh campus. in a so-called debate at the Tivoli Oct. 19. At the rare points where they actually disBill Owens and Gail agreed, usually on Schoettler not only money matters, the lack personal charisposition of governor ma and real ideolobarely allows the gy, the governor's state's top executive to office also puts . carry out his or her them in no position agenda. to keep their Take transportapromises. tion . Both say they would improve highways and mass transit. The only substantial difference is Schoettler said she would use the state budget surplus to pay for it, while Owens said he would pay with federal and private funds. Good luck to them both, but Colorado law makes the governor's office especially weak when it comes to distributing out state funds. The state's budget is handled first in the legislature's Joint Budget Committee and then voted on by the entire assembly. Sure, the governor can veto a

.. Hate

budget bill, but it's pretty unlikely considering that the JBC waits until only a few days before the session is up to introduce a budget. _ It's just one example of many happy platitudes spouted by Owens and Schoettler that are unlikely to translate to reality. Colorado's political system also takes power aw11y from the governor by making many important positions elective, not appoint~d, including th~ secretary of state, the state treasurer, the attorney general and several top educational posts. But that's politics, right? A contest of ideas. Well, there was no contest at this debate. Both candidates repeated classic political mantras. Schoettler: The Romer-Schoettler administration has been good for Colorado. Owens: We can do better. We've seen better figfits in Mike Tyson's first post-prison boxing matches. Schoettler stood statue-like addressing the crowd, while Owens sweated it out bouncing from one leg to the other. The only thing bordering on excitement was at the very end when Schoettler angled for the last word and used it to slam Owens for his ties to the oil lobby. It was a low blow because Owens had no chance to respond. Ironically, in his closing statement only moments before, Owens gushed with pride in h<w clean the cai:npaign has been. In the end, voters seemingly have little choice in this election. It's another case of two career politicians vying for the bland middle.

I don't make it a practice of responding to letters. â&#x20AC;˘ But in this case, I'll make an exception. This goes out to Shawna Whitacre: In the fall of 1993, I was a freshman at the University of Northern Colorado. You may not remember this, but that was the semester the school made prime time national news. What happened was, some good ol' boys from the aromatic town of Greeley had made their way onto campus, passing out a little flyer their local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan had

printed. At the top of the flyer was printed, "Nigger Hunting License." The rest of the flyer went on (in excruciatingly poor mechanics and grammar) to point out why it was this special hunting season, and even offered up rewards for bag limits. Earlier that same semester, I was involved in two physical confrontations over the fact that I am a Jew. Needless to say, the University of No Color was a bit remiss in its racial sensit.ivity policies. After the Klan's visit, there was a rally involving a few hundred students against the act. Individual students were each taking a few moments to take center stage and voice their anger and hurt about the events that had transpired. All of the students who spoke were black. And then a white girl took the stage. Her opinions mirrored yours, Shawna. She pointed out that while she felt she owed no one an apology for the transgressions of her ancestors, what had happened was terrible, and should not be allowed to happen on "her" campus. Then she said she didn't see color, only people. You said, "I have chosen to disregard color and look at the person." And tha:t is why the Ku Klux Klan can pass out "Nigger hunting licenses" today. I guess it's understandable. I know how disenfranchised you white people must feel. You must struggle hard to exhibit those facets of your ancestral cultures that separate you from other white people. Italians, Irish, Polish - you all had a rough time finding jobs when you came to this country, experiencing hardship upon hardship because of where you were from . Then, to be accused of racial wrongdoing and bigotry and prejudice - it's just so unfair. No, you say, it's time to blur the lines of race. It's time we looked past skin color and said, "We're all the same." You self-important, pompous bigot. Maybe you have no identity to proudly cling to and cherish. Does that give you the right to strip me of mine? How dare you stand there and refuse to evaluate me as a whole person, the sum of all my parts, past and present. What gives you the right to refuse to see my heritage as a long and rich history, full of beauty and color? Sure, you're disenfranchised. But I'm not. And neither are any of the rest of us non-whites who created the world. Refusing to see color is refusing to accept color. Refusing to see a difference is refusing to accept a difference. Refusing to accept a difference leaves the door open for ignorance-slinging hate mongers like the KKK. And it all starts with you. So, quit complaining about your multicultural requirement. "What about white history classes?" you ask. It's all been white history, sister. It's all been your version of what happened. Open your mind up to learning about the beauty of other cultures. Read about the Massai warriors and the Aztecs and the ancient Hebrews. Learn to see and appreciate color and difference. Then, you can learn to embrace it.

Don't violate victim's privacy Editor: I would like to protest the use of the victim's name in your headline story "Female Student Assaulted" (Oct. 9). This was an editorial decision by The Metropolitan, which chose to disregard the victim's request to not be identified. The student, through the director of her school, had asked that her name not be revealed. The Metropolitan news editor Sean Weaver and reporter Tara Trujillo decided that against the victim's wishes; they would print her name and school affiliation under the justification of "accuracy." Prior to the publication of the article, I spoke at length about the student's wishes with Mr. Weaver with Ms. Trujillo present for some of the discussion. 1be angle of the story, I was told, was to focus

on the students who apprehended the less accurate had the story read, "A 23attacker. However, the newspaper did not year-old student from Japan, who asked feel it necessary to print the names of that her name not be revealed.. .''

Metropolitan perpetuates racism Editor: I can no longer hold my silence. Week after week you print letters and articles which hurt my heart. Yes, I am a white person who comes from a long line of white people. I am just about as Anglo as a person could get. But I refuse to feel ashamed of my heritage. My ancestors

came to this country from Germany and Italy, and they were denied jobs, courtesy and respect because of their heritage. They worked their tails off doing work that no one else wanted to so they could provide for their families. Thus I am sick and tired of reading about how you were so mistreated and the world owes you a

debt because of it. What gives you the right to blame me for your suffering? I have chosen to disregard color and look at the person. Thanks to people like Michael Byrd, (Sept. 25) racism is alive and well here at Metro. Shawna K. Whitacre

rllTTERS MattheY#: 1 1 Y#ill remember you' Dear Matthew Shepard: You don't know me, nor can you know what you have come to represent for me since the events that took your life just recently. Like you, I am gay, and like you, I have been optimistic about being open about my gayness. The sense that you seemed to have that if you are nice to someone, they will return the favor, is one that I also maintain(ed). My lesson about this belief was a much easier and unbelievably less painful one, one that came at the expense of your life. How the weight of your death has me reeling with sadness and fear and anger and loss. The loss of you, Matthew, is huge, and I stand in a place of never having known you. There is a hole in this community where you belong, and I think you should know that I will forever be aware of it. Today, for almost the fifth day in a row, that picture of you is on the front page of all the newspapers. I wonder where that picture was taken. I wonder what or whom you were smiling that sideward smile at. Was it your parents, or a friend, or maybe your lover at the time? At a rally in your honor, your friends stood and spoke about who you were. Your friends spoke of your overwhelming kindness and generosity and of your desire to make change in this world. Some of them referred to you as "little Matt" and in my mind I easily imagined

being your friend. What were those boys imagining that night when they hung you from a fence and left you there to die? Who told them in their lives that men who love men should be so loathed? More importantly, who told them otherwise? Who, if anyone, stopped them the first time they used the word "faggot" back in elementary school? Where would you be if someone had taken the time to stand up for you and people like you? I can say with certainty that you would still be here - unafraid, generous and brave. I am making a promise to you that I will remember you. I will remember, as difficult as it is, what those two kids did to you and what it represents. I will be brave about who I am, just as you were that night, and I will be proud. I will not let fear make me small. I will remember you when I hold my girlfriend's hand on campus; when I stand in front of a classroom as a teacher and tell them that gayness is not a disease; when I act as a rolemodel for children who have no experience with gay pepple, except through the media; and when I Jove who I want because you and people like you gave your Jives for such freedoms. I will remember you, and I am sorry. With incredible amounts of respect,

Paper misses point on Columbus Day Editor: Nothing upsets me more than to see the press not report objectively on a printed story. People who read these stories are spoon-fed incidents that just did not happen. This is exactly what you should clear up! In your Oct. 16 issue of The Metropolitan, the story titled "Groups protest holiday" contained so much misleading information that I wonder if the reporter was actually there, or if the story was written by the people who attended this protest with their own agendas. The story should have read, "El dia de la raza," (The day of the races) . This day has been celebrated in the United States for many years. It reflects a more correct historical view of what took place when Columbus accidentally landed in the Caribbean. This day is celebrated now as the day Americans decided to rid America of racism. The fact is, Metropolitan, that this protest was entitled "Defeat Racism." The majority of the participants at the protest understood exactly why they were there. The photo used in the Oct. 16 issue was a moment when a person, who was not a student on any of the three campuses, was asked to allow a student to speak since he had already spoken. This is what I would have liked The Metropolitan to have said, what actually happened. I would like for The Metropolitan to publish another photo which would reflect the positive side of this protest. Bringing all races in this country together for any reason is-positive. But on the other hand, there will always be a negative force that would not like for this to happen.

strikes (again) By Ricardo Baca eeing The Will Rogers Follies for the first time is loads of fun. The musical, about the mega-man who stood for human rights and other great causes, beats all expectations. It's a lot of fun, and the music is worthy of excessive toe-tapping and head-bobbing. But the second time, as with anything, is less impressive. Especially when it's basically the same cast as the first time . Boulder's Dinner Theatre has remounted its Follies with generally the same cast. It's just as impressive (the rope work is better as the actors have had time to practice), but it's just a carbon copy of 1995's Follies. Really, there's nothing new to report . But if you missed it last time ... It takes the fonn of Ziegfetd Follies, and takes Will (A.K. Klimpke) through his entire life. Starting at birth, Will is born to the very proud Clem Rogers (DP Perkins). Will grows up, gets kicked out of schools and moves to the Argentine, where he'll learn to be a real cowboy. His father's against it, but allows him to go. Will later Joins a festival as the headlining ~oper, gets married and ultimately perfonns in vaudeville. His marriage to Betty Blake (Shelly Cox-Robie), which comes out-of-order because Ziegfeld's acts always end with the wedding, gave Will an anchor he never had before. He now reports to home, and the marriage suffers great tension as he is always on the road. The looming ending is Roger's death, which comes in the fonn of a plane crash in Alaska with his friend Wiley Post (Wayne Kennedy). The musical is a true pleaser. It's initial impression comes off with a Western spin, but even the most vehement Country music haters will enjoy themselves. Most of the audience leaves the theater humming the show's theme "Never Met a. Man I Didn't Like'~ (which is also Roger's moniker). The high-energy "Our Favorite Son" is a energetic trollop through Roger's bid for the presidency. "The Big Time" plays with meaty rhthyms and introduces the Rogers' four kids: Will Jr., Mary, James and Freddie. The acting and singing in the show are full-force and a pleasure. Klimpke and Perkins have the roles down pat (and they

should after the second time). Klimpke's delivery of humor on timely subjects (a Rogers trademark) is credibly better. P~rkins' sarcastic nature exceeds that of last time, and that says a lot. The kids playing the Rogers kids are fantastic. Making their debut, even, is Bitel and Olyvia Beyette, the daughters of Director Scott Beyette and Ziegfeld Girl Joanie BrosseauBeyette. The Drugstore Cowboys (a group of strapping barbershopin' men who follow Will and add bold harmonies to his rants) are a pleasure. They seem better in this production than the last time. Their synchronicity in "Our Favorite Son," along with the rest of the cast, is strictly the deal and amazing to watch. Call BDT, 5501 Arapahoe Ave., at (303) 449-6000.

Hoity-toity 'Hapgood' stays half good By Ricardo Baca t first mention, Hapgood sounds just like half-good. After seeing the Hunger Artists Ensemble production of the play (at the LIDA Project through Oct. 31 ), it's obvious that it is only half good. This Tom Stoppard play is billed as an espionage thriller, and maybe it has the potential to be just that. But this performance is not a great example. The story goes along confusing lines resembling that of a .007 diatribe or Get Smart episode. Complete with switching brief cases in the bathroom, walkie-talke speech in codes and characters named Maggs, Wates and Ridley, it's about an operation that goes astray complete with the mole hunt and the spy tenninology. Its subplot deals with particle physics, positional geometry and quantum sciences - all of which are too heavy and drag the play down. One character speaks with a heavy Russian accent and makes analogies to the complicated mathematical sciences at

every opportunity. This is unfortunate for · audience getting lost is the effect. It's a play where an audience the audience. Intellectuality is always expected member will have no clue what is hapfrom a Stoppard play, but even the most pening in front of him or her one secintellectual of plays need the slightest ond, then change and understand comtrace of a recognizable plot.

Helping the company out is the jumpy stage design. The two simple walls create many different options for different locales and times of day. Nonetheless, Hapgood stays only The acting in the show is bland. A lot of accents on the same stage tend to make half good. Call the LIDA, 80 S.

Learn before it~s .too late Internships offer students a chance to experience their chosen profession before they graduate By Rebecca Rivas ot everything can be learned in the classroom. Going into a career without a bit of experience can be like being thrown straight into the frying pan. By interning with a real company, students get a glimpse of job demands, working environment and inside techniques of their future field. Metro students who have already tested the waters agree that internships are a crucial part of learning. "You just get the basics in school, you get the whole picture in an internship," said Kathy Rodriguez, a Metro senior and broadcast-radio major. Rodriguez started interning with radio station KTCL in her junior year. She explained that the hands-on experience helped her build confidence in her working ability, and it changed her view on the radio industry.

Carrie Christensen, a Metro junior and education major, had an eye-opening experience when she interned with an urban middle school. "It really shows you why a foreign language is so important in this day and age," she said. Many problems arose that she never expected, and it helped her to see how a professional would handle them. In a survey of 72 Metro students, 81 percent never had an internship. Only 54 percent of those students knew how to get an internship if they desired one. The most common ways to get an internship are through personal connections, individual inquiry and the Metro Cooperative Education Internship Center. The co-operative office steers students to prospective companies according to their application and interests. Applicants are required to be at a sophomore level, have a 2.5 GPA and have attended Metro for one semester. Metro student Thaun-Thaun Mguyen obtained an internship with U S West Dex, working with computer software and hardware, through the office. "I love where I work. The people at the co-op office were very helpful," Mguyen said. U S West Dex client services manager Linn Gates explained that college offices are not the only way to get an internship. "Don't overlook the aspect of knowing a manager· in the business. Sometimes human resources are the last ones to know

when we need people," Gates said. Cristen Salazar, a Metro junior and political science major, landed an intern- r ship with the Bloomsbury Review after his grandfather met the editors at a banquet. Salazar started off as an editorial intern with the national book magazine, and became the assistant editor for the "News from Mexico" section. Salazar writes reviews about books from Mexico.

What should ;ou know

about domestic abuse?

_ , _ c abuse is

physfcal or emotional indignity that causes harm and that occurs between people involved in an intimate relationship or between fmnily members. For example: kicking, hitting, slapping, puncling, pushing, biting, pulling of hair, choking, forced sexual behavior, threats, harassment, or withholdiilg of needs such as food, money or affection.

Domestic abuse occurs in all walks' of life regardless of on~ economic status, r:ace, religion, sexualorientation,orgende~

Although most cases of domestic

abuse that ~cur are those in which the man is the abuser, men are also victims of domestic abuse. Neither

men nor women should feel any guilt or shame in seeking help.

It is dangerous to continue with the misconception that domestic abuse will subside on its own. Typically, without help, the

abuse will only get worse. You don't deserve to be mistreated. On cmnpus, you can call or go to: • tbe MSCD Cmmseling c.enter, Tit'Oli (1V) 651. (303) 55f>-3132 • 1be lnslftutefor Women's Studies and Serolces, 1033 9tb Street Park {303) 556-8441

RECENTLY. MORNINGSTAR c!LLED US CHEAP. IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU GET ACOMPLIMENT· Lll(ETHAT. J\ U financial companies charge operating fees

f i and expenses-some more than others. Of course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way, more of your money goes where it should - towards building a comfortable future.

We make low expenses a top priority. As the largest retirement system in the world' -a nonprofit company focused exclusively on the financial needs of the educational and research communities -our expenses are among the lowest in the insurance and mutual fund industries.2 In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.31 % average fund expenses are less than half of the expense charges of comparable funds.' It's why Momingstarone of the nation '.s leading sources of annuity and mutual fund information - says, ''.At that level [TIAA-CREF] is cheaper than any other

[variable annuity] policy, and is even competitive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes, though it offers far more benefits."~

"TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the financial services industry." Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an investment decision. Morningstar also noted our commitment.to "consumer education, service" and "solid investment performance." Because that can make a difference in the long run, too. At TIAA-CREF. we believe people would like to spend more in retirement, not on their retirement company. Today, over two million people count on that approach to help them build a comfortable and secure future. So can you. To find out more, call us at 1 800 842-2776. We'd consider it a compliment.

McDermott ·is interim AD By Tom VJSkocil The Metropolitan The days are getting longer for Metro volleyball coach Joan McDermott. Not just because the volleyball season is approaching playoff time, but because McDermott is also taking on more responsibilities in the athletics department. McDermott was nam"ed the interim Athletics Director Oct. 20 for the departing William Helman. Helman, who directed athletics at Metro for 17 years, is retiring effective Nov. 1. McDermott, who is in her fifth year as volleyball coach and the department's senior women's administrator, says the appointment is only temporary as a national search is conducted to hire a permanent athletics director "as quickly as possible." Deadline to apply for the job is Oct. 24, according to Joe Arcese, vice president of Administration and Finance.

Arcese says it will McDermott take roughly a month has experience in for the 10-member directing athletsearch committee to ics. She was the go over the appliassistant athletics cants.

and I just need to keep the status quo." After some thought, McDermott has decided that she will apply for the position even though she hasn't officially sent in her paperwork. Becoming an_athletics director has been a goal of McDermott's ever since she graduated from Stanford University. "I knew from the very first day I wanted to apply for it, but I made myself go back a couple steps and think it through," she said. McDermott says that she doesn't see any problem directing athletics and coaching at the same time. She did it at Morningside College and knows what to expect and how to manage her time. "I think it's very important that I don' t lose track of recruiting," she said. "It's really important that I stay focused on recruiting at the same time. "We're right in the thick of things right now. What it means is my days are longer."

No.400 no big deal

Colorado Christian stops Metro again in bid for conference title

By Tom Viskocil

The Metropolitan

Ask Metro volleyball coach Joan McDermott what she remembers most about her 17 years of coaching and she won't tell you about Oct. 18. That's when she captured her 400th victory as a volleyball coach. "I didn't even remember it until the SID (Sports Information Director) from Fort Lewis asked me about it," McDermott said. McDermott has never looked at her number of victories as a benchmark for success. But those numbers speak for themselves. She has a record of 400-211 in volleyball, recording marks of 141-66 at St. Mary's College over six years, 13385 in six years at Morningside College and 126-60 in five years at Metro. She has a NAIA National Championship in 1985 to her credit and was named NAIA Coach of the Year the same year. She also has a record of 349-206-2 in 11 years as a ' softball coach. But numbers don't mean much to McDermott, only faces. "I see the faces of the players and the experiences we had together," McDermott said. "I think back over the years, all the different players that I've had play for me. "You remember some of the big wins and getting certain titles, but I think you remember even more the different players. That's something you can't take away

They tried to go through it, around it and eventually over it. The Metro volleyball team encountered a stifling blocking scheme by Colorado Christian University Oct. 21 at the Auraria Events Center, one which they never could figure out. The result was a 15-9, 9-15, 15-13, 15-8 loss to the Cougars. The loss snapped a 13-match Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference win streak and knocked Metro out of a first-place tie in the Eastern Division of the RMAC with Colorado Christian and Regis. Metro, 16-8 overall and 12-2 in the RMAC, must now regroup and travel to the West Texas A&M Invitational this weekend with two matches set for Oct. 23. "We should have won game three," W€<re the first words out of Metro head coach Joan McDermott's mouth after the match. It was the turning point of the whole match as Metro had a 13-9 lead in the third game. After losing the first game, the Roadrunners had figured out how to get through the mighty block of the taller Cougar players. They went over it, scoring points on dink shots to even the match. It was working again in the third game until Colorado Christian adjusted. "They started picking it up," McDermott admitted. 'Then they had some big blocks at the end of the third game." The Cougars scored six unanswered points to win the game and took over the momentum of the match. The Roadrunners never recovered from the loss as they were lifeless in the fourth game, allowing the Cougars to jump out to a commanding 8-0 lead. Metro never challenged the Cougars again. It was the second time this season Colorado Christian has beaten Metro, handing the team its first RMAC loss Sept. 12 to open conference play. 'They made the big plays when it counted," McDermott said. Colorado Christian had 29 blocks in the match compared to

"People throw bricks at you all the time when you are a coa<;h." - Darryl Smith Metro has hired its volleyball coach, Joan McDermott, to fill the position of athletics director on an interim basis when William Helman leaves on Nov. l. It might even be willing to hire McDermott permanently. I am not convinced the latter

is a wise idea. It's not because I don't believe in McDermott's ability. I just don't believe this school has a track record of conducting these so-called national searches well. Likewise, it has a habit of creating permanent interim positions. Please see the provost. I have nothing bad to say about McDermott. She has always been friendly and accessible. She's a true professional when dealing with the media, and she is a damn good volleyball coach. She has the qualifications, I'm told, to be considered for the athletics director position. But, I'm betting there has to be a plethora of quality, qualified people for the job to give her a little competition.

Life on the road. We had plenty of it this week. The most important week of the season came to a close with a bus trip to Durango and Pueblo Oct. 15-18. Chevy Chase couldn't have scripted it any better. The bus was two hours late. After we got on the road, we were Brian Crookham told we were going to Colorado Springs to change buses. Not a COACH'S problem unless you have a sevenCORNER hour bus ride through Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo rush hour traffic. Our bus driver, Roger, got us there safely before Jay Leno ended. Oct. 16 we woke to a beautiful mix of rain, sleet and snow in the Durango sky. Usually we do a pregame walk-through the morning of the game on the field, but the conditions were so miserable and we had enough sick players that we decided to do warmup and talk through the game plan in the hotel pool. In a few hours we would have the opportunity to play the seventh-ranked team in the country. Or so we thought. It cleared some during the early afternoon, but, of course, by tqe time we arrived at the field it was back to rain and sleet. As we got into our warmup, it started to lightning. We ordered the teams off the ·field just in time for a lightning bolt to hit the stadium light pole. After a 30minute delay we resumed the warmup. Only 10 minutes later there was an inch and a half of snow on the field due to snow flakes the size of this newspaper. It was deemed too dangerous to play and the game was rescheduled for noon the next day. Thankfully, the sun came out and the snow was melted by the time we got back to the hotel. Sarcasm. Me? Never. If you think you have seen everything, come coach in our conference for a few years. The following day was nice, and the game was played in good conditions. Great conditions if you consider that

The Mefropo/ilan 25

Not about to knuckle under By Kyle Ringo The Metropofilcn

It's not the same Jennifer Larwa standing on her tiptoes at the end of the 1meter diving board at the Auraria Pool. Larwa never takes this long to throw herself into the 225,000 gallons of beckoning blue. Any time now a professional nego!. tiator is going to be called in to talk her down from the edge. Larwa is struggling to find what used to come naturally to her - the courage to leap off the board, perform some combination of flips, twists and contortions and regain her composure in time to slip into the water without so much as a ploop. She made a mistake in a September practice during what is a routine dive for her. She was performing a reverse-oneand-a-half, a dive that requires a back flip e toward the board and head-first entry into the water. Larwa's lapse caused her to smack her hands on the board, both were broken. Now she is faced with missing a sizable portion of her season for the thirdstraight year and overcoming the fear caused by the accident. "When I first got back on the board, even front jumps were scary," Larwa said. Hitting the board isn't uncommon for divers. Larwa admits she has hit her head, hands and feet before. But this time, Jaime JarreU/The Mstropo/ilan "" Larwa, 21, a junior, who set the Pomona High School record in diving during her Metro iunior Jennifer Larwa has returned to the Auraria Pool after breaking bones in both of her hands while senior year there, fractured the middle practicing in September.
