By Tara 'Ihijillo and David Proviano The Metropolitan A 19-year-old Metro student was shot in the head at a house party in Westminster on Oct. 24.

Robert A. Adams is in critical condition at Centura Health-St. Anthony Central Hospital.

Adams and other people attending a Westminister party were standing in front of the house when shots were fired from a car leaving the party. Before Adams arrived at the party, several people, including the suspects, were asked to leave when things got out of control. One of the shots, from a large caliber handgun, hit Adams in the back

of the head while he was waiting to enter the party. There were no other injuries reported, Westminister Police said.

"A lot of people crashed the party. There were anywhere from 100 to 150 kids," said Westminister Police Detective 路Mike Lynch. "(Adams) was standing in the driveway. He hadn't a clue of what was going on. It's a tragic thing for him, it really was."

There are several witnesses and suspects, but no one has been arrested, Lynch said.

The party, at 9850 Wolff Ct., was thrown by a 16year-old Northglenn High路 School student who was housesitting for friends, according to Lynch.

Family members refused to comment, saying this was a private moment for them. Although Adams' sister, Beth, said he was "OK," he remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit, said Beverly Johnson, publie relations representative for the hospital.

A freshman at Metro, Adams is majoring in journalism, said Metro spokeswoman Debbie Thomas.

Adams works as a lifeguard at the Westminister City Park Center, Lynch said.

Police ask that anyone with information about the shooting contact them at (303) 430-2400.

The Auraria Foundation purchased the off-campus Lawrence Street Center Oct. 22.

The foundation is a non-profit organization that helps acquire property fcir the campus.

The University of Colorado at Denver and Auraria were leasing office space at 1380 Lawrence St., formerly owned by Mutual of New York, for nearly seven Dean Wolf years due to insufficient space on campus, said Dean Wolf, Auraria's executive vice president for administration.

The revenue for the $20. 7 million purchase price will be paid by bonds issued through the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority, Wolf said. The 30-year financing for paying off the bonds will be generated from leasing space to the university, commercial and non-commercial businesses.

Wolf said the rising lease rates in downtown Denver made renting the building undesirable.

"Leases are obviously going up in price," he said.

Randy Cordova, with the facilities department at CU-Denver, said the university will operate and maintain the building, continuing to pay market-value leases to the Auraria Foundation. The revenue generated from leasing. space to other businesses will offset lease payments, Cordova said.

Campus parking survey unveiled

By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan Auraria officials hired consultants to study short-term and long-range solutions to handle parking space shortages at Auraria campus.

The study was completed Sept. 30 by Transystems Corporation Consultants, Rich and Associates and PKM Design Group for $90,000, said Mark Gallagher, director of parking.

The study on parking and transportation is thei first step of a broader plan to

redesign the campus to accommodate future growth, said Dick Feuerborn, director of facilities planning and use.

Auraria administrators unveiled the plan of recommendations to the Auraria students, faculty and staff Oct. 29 for suggestions.

Feuerborn said Auraria administrators will hold meetings with the Auraria community and specific groups on campus to discuss what proposals should be adopted or thrown out. By February, they wild make their final recommendations to the

Auraria Board of Directors, which will decide which solutions are viable and begin implementing them.

"We're encouraging people to participate, and we are trying to open the process up as much as possible," Feuerborn said.

Gallagher said, "This will help (students) focus on what they want with a parking system."

Currently, the 6,852 spaces at Auraria are at a 98 percent or more occupancy rate during peak hours, resulting in delays as I

By Alicia Beard The Metropolitan Metro students won't have to worry about a major . computer shutdown on campus when the new millennium arrives.

"From the standpoint of the· Banner System, we are very much up to date and ready for the year 2000," said Rick Beck, principle assistance analyst in applications service area of Information Technology. The Banner system is a collection of software that makes it possible for students to register and access information online.

Beck said one of the reasons they decided to purchase the Banner System was it is Y2K compliant.

He said they've found minor glitches in the software, but the company has sent them patches as they find them.

Computer labs are also updated, said Dr. John ;Reed, director of academic computing and user services.

He said the computer's central processing unit, or the chip that makes it operate, has been replaced with a Pentuim chip from Intel, which are all year 2000 compliant.

"Some computers won't change on Jan. I, 2000. That's the only thing they won't do, they' ll do everything else," he said.

Beck said the Oracle database that houses tlle Banner System was upgraded some time ago, and the network servers will be updated over the holiday break.

In the past four years, the number of full-time Metro faculty members has remained between 374 and 399, according to the Office of Institutional Research Fact Book.

The number of executive, secretarial, and professional employees has increased from 296 in 1993 to 368 in 1997.

"Higher education is a labor intensive structure. 1be vast bulk of the budget goes to salaries. It's a salary driven budget," said Norman Provizer, political science chairman.

In 1997, there was 386 full-time and 635 part-time faculty at Metro State for 17,610 students, meaning there was about 46 students for every full-time professor.

The number of students to administrative employees in 1997 was 47.

The wreckage of a Jan. 17 plane crash responsible for the death of a Metro graduate has been recovered.

Jeff Rich of the National Transportation Safety Board field office in Los Angeles said the plane was removed in August from John Dale Rosselott the crash site in a remote mountainous area 17 miles outside of Walker, Calif.

Snowstorms and avalanche conditions delayed recovery after the crash, and lack of recovery equipment prevented recovery during the summer.

Metro graduate John Dale Ross-elott, who was piloting the Cessna between Reno, Nev.; and Sonara, Calif., was killed in the crash.

Rich said the field office in Los Angeles will forward its findings to the main NTSB office in Washington, D .C ., which will release the probable cause of the crash by the end of the year.

Student group outlines agenda Students met at the University of Northern Colorado Oct. 18 for the second Representative, Assembly this year of the Colorado Student Association. They finalized five platform issues that the association will lobby for during the upcoming legislative session, beginning in January. The issues include: • Advisement, which will examine information distributed by college counselors.

• Updating and adding computer systems for colleges.

• Urging colleges to conform to student diversity goals they set for themselves.

• Tuition control to keep tuition from increasing drastically.

• A financial aid platform issue will continue, as previous years, to make financial aid available for all students.

Day of the dead alive at Metro

By Lobat Asadi The Metropolitan The Chicano studies center of Metro will have educational presentations in Spanish and English on "el Dia de los Muertos" in the Rectory Building Room 103 Oct. 29 and 30.

About 370 children from Greenlee Elementary School, Columbian Elementary School and the Auraria Day care Center have been invited this year to come and learn about the ancient Aztec holiday, said Michelle Mondragon for the Auraria center for Chicano Studies. Altars for people such as John and Jacquelyn Kennedy, Caesar Chavez and Selena will be on display, Mondragon said.

People honor their deceased loved ones by creating altars, Mondragon said.

"People remember their loved ones, talk about them, knowing all the while that they too will be following them one day." Mondragon explained the holiday is a celebration of the cycle of life, of which "life is one portion and death another."

Mondragon said this is a way people can be with deceased loved ones, and communicate with them.

When invading Spaniards conquered the Aztecs, the day

of the dead was changed to coincide with the Christian celebrations of All Saints' Day lfild All Souls' Day on November I and 2, Mondragon said. She explained the Aztec people were used to celebrating the day of the dead, so it was convenient for the Spanish to convert the Aztecs by using customs the natives were familiar with.

The dead are believed to return to their.graves during this time of year, so families spruce up gravesides of loved ones with flowers and gifts.

Foods such as candy and skull-shaped bread, called the bread of the dead, or pan de los Muertos, is made. Puppets and masks, usually as skeletons, are part of the revelry.

"Many cultures view Oct. 31 as the day when the veil is thinnest between the physical and spiritual worlds," said Michael West, owner of Spiritways Metaphysical store at 3301 E. Colfax Ave. "Hence the time to speak with the dead." West said he suggests to those interested in contacting the dead to meditate upon it themselves rather then hiring someone else to do it.

"There are a lot of scams out there," West said. He continued with a quote from Oscar Wilde, "You can contact the dead, but they don't know any more than you do."

Construction on a staircase to replace the Tivoli atrium escalators will begin in early November.

"As a lot of people noticed, the escalators are always broken," said Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union. She said the administration has had a difficult time Barb Weiske finding replacement parts for the escalator because they are the only model of theiT type in Colorado.

Weiske said the Tivoli was paying a maintenance fee of $25,000 a year for the escalators. In the past year the fee increased to $75,000. · The new staircase will cost $340,000, Weiske said.

"When you figure $75,000 a year in fees (for repairing the escalators), we will be able to.pay ourselves back very quickly," she said.

Construction of the staircase will take place mostly at night between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., said Jason Cegielski, from the Tivoli administration. When the staircase is completed, the escalators will be removed. The expected completion date will be Jan. I · Other renovation projects for the Tivoli include replacement of the storm drain and the addition of underground utility lines for the Auraria's new Performing Arts Center.

The Tivoli has experienced flooding during heavy storms because the existing drain line was not built to accommodate the run-off it now handles.

"With the new construction of the Pepsi Center, the city has installed a large culvert to handle a much greater amount of water and therefore a larger drain line can be accommodated," Cegielski said.

Metro s·gradUation rate lowest in Colorado

By Crawford Oark The Metropolitan

•' ·

Three out of four students enrolled at Metro will not graduate from Metro. The school has the worst graduation rate of any four-year college in Colorado, according to a recently published state-sponsored study.

Twenty four percent of full-time Metro students graduate over the course of six years, said Jim Worsham, data analyst for the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. That number is slightly down from last year's rate of 25 .2 percent.

Unlike schools such as the University of Colorado and Colorado State University, which only admit students they believe can graduate, "We give everybody a chance,"

said Metro spokeswoman Debbie Thomas. She said many Metro students have full-time jobs, families, and some are the first members of their family ever to attend college.

Some students enroll only to transfer to other schools · while others drop out altogether, Thomas said.

In July, Metro received a $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The money will be given to the school over next five years to improve student services essential to retention. Some of the money will be 4sed to "beef up" existing student outreach programs, Thomas said.

The school also plans to establish a one-on-one mentoriag program, and place tutors in classrooms to provide more immediate assistance for students during and after

class. Administrators hope these new programs will help students feel they are an important part of the Auraria campus, and will encourage them to complete their degree programs at Metro.

Graduation rates and student retention are growing concerns for higher-education administrators statewide.

The University of Colorado at Boulder has the most successful graduation rate in the state with 67.7 percent of its full-time students graduating over a six-year period.

Colorado State University follows CU-Boulder with a 62.9 percent rating. The Colorado School of Mines graduates 61. 7 percent of its students while The University of Colorado at Denver and the University of Northern Colorado tied with a 39.4 percent rating.

Metro bottom feeders? If we build it,

It never sounds good when Metro is at the bottom of EDITORIAL the list, but this time being the lowest isn't really so bad.

OK, only 3.9 percent of Among Colorado students who started at Metro colleges, Metro has in 1989 graduated four years the lowest percentlater, according to ll recent age of students who report by the Colorado graduate in four Commission on Higher years.

Education. After two more years, only 26.4 percent had graduated. Comparatively, at VIEWS: the University of Colorado at There's nothing Denver, 14.7 percent of stuwrong with that. dents graduated in four years, and 47 percent in six years.

In other words, if current trends continue, more than 70 percent of freshmen who started at Metro this fall will still be hanging around in 2004. Or maybe some will quit college between now and then.

Some say this represents a failure for Metro including a few state education officials and some members of Metro's Student Government Assembly. They say Metro should increase services so students feel more comfortable as they go through school.

They're convinced that students who don't graduate in six years are unlikely to graduate at all. We disagree.

Many students at Metro work full-time or part-time jobs (80 percent), many have family to take care of and

TIE MnllPOllTAM

many have been out of high school for several years (median age is 27). Another reason Metro students take more time to graduate is because Metro is not selective when it admits students, unlike CU-Denver. In the words of CCHE spokeswoman Geri Reinardy, "It stands to reason, better students succeed. It's intuitive that the best and brightest students often times are more serious about their studies and finish more quickly."

So it's no surprise that Metro is at the bottom of the heap among Colorado colleges when it comes to graduation rates.

But Metro serves a different purpose than traditional colleges. It makes sense for students to attend Metro part time (as 56 percent do) because they have other things to worry about besides classes and frat parties.

Criticizing Metro because its students don't graduate fast enough implies that it's the college's responsibility to shepherd students through the system. That's wrong. If a student isn't smart enough to get through college without having their hand held, then they won't survive in the workplace anyway.

Sure, it would be nice to see longer hours at the library and computer labs. We'd love to see a simplified financial aid process. A few more scholarships for older students would be in order, too.

But the basic elements of success in college haven't changed: Pick a major you like, study hard and go to class. Metro can and should set up a system to lubricate that process, but, as we've said many times before, ultimate responsibility is on the student.

·Sack the stadium -·tax "There is something grubby about owners of teams jumping rivers, jumping state boundaries and jumping coasts to get a better deal."

- Howard Cosen I mistakenly thought all that money and fame would have Kyle Ringo strengthened John Elway's spine. I COMMllTING am disappointed in Elway for doing JOURNALISM the pro-stadium commercials, even though I expected it all along.

Elway has missed an opportunity to rise above his greedy friends in pro sports the same way Michael Jordan fails the humanity test when it comes to how his shoes are made.

I have always been a Denver Broncos fan and I always will be, but I can't vote for continuing the CoorsField tax to pay for a new football stadium. Here is why: I believe government should produce overwhelming evidence that supports its contentio~ that it needs to take more money out of my pocket before it does so. It has no such evidence in this case.

The Broncos might need a new stadium, but nobody has provided me with a solid reason why I should be forced to pay for it.

I want the government to protect me from invasion and criminals, provide quality roads and ensure the water is clean. Otherwise, it can kiss my ass, thank you.

On second thought, give me a gun and I'll protect myself.

Make no mistake, this is a tax increase. If this measure fails, Coors field will be paid off in a few more years and this tax will go bye-bye. If the initiative passes we pay more money over a longer period of time than we otherwise would have. It's math for simpletons.

There are other ways to build a new stadium. I prefer the way they have chosen in Washington, CargJina and San Francisco. The team owners pick up most of the tab. After all, these guys are made of money. Just ask the players.

But, there are gullibles in our midst. They are those who say this is not really a tax increase because we were supposed to be paying this tax well into the next century. These people say we are getting two stadiums for the tax increase of one. Well la-ti-da, it's still a tax increase, and I'm opposed on principle.

It is because of the burgeoning economy of the past few years and an increase in the number of taxpayers or . tax base that we have been able to pay for Coors Field so fast. We should be content with our good fortune.

I'm not going to give you any silly liberal gobbledygook about how we should be paying this money to teachers, schools. health care, saving the environment and blah blah blah. I'll just say this. It is highway robbery, blackmail, extortion and flat-out wrong for our community to be lining the Broncos, pockets for fear of losing them.

If Elway, Pat Bowlen, Mike Shanahan and Terrell Davis want to pick up and move if they don't get their dough, I'll help them load the truck. I'm a Broncos fan, but I'm not compromising my principles so these guys can make more money.

When these millionaires ask us for our money so they can make more for themselves, we should react the same way a guard does when the quarterback mistakes him for the center.

"Hey, buddy, uh, wrong guy."

Kyle Ringo is a Metro student and columnist for The Metropolitan. His e-mail address is ringok@mscd.edu.

they will come ""To tax and to please, no more than to love and be wise, is not given to men. " -Edmund Burke

I think whoever cut Ringo's hair might have shaved a little bit too close. It's affecting his logical thought process.

Dave Flomberg For one: John Elway's commitment to his team, family and JIVE car dealerships are nothing compared to his commitment to his community and this city.

His financial contributions to charitable causes eclipse what Ringo and I will probably earn for the rest of our lives. Well, at least Ringo, anyway.

That said, the argument shifts to the tax issue and discussion of public funds versus private profit.

Yes, the stadium tax is a tax and as a tax it needs its representation, which is thus: Every penny we _spend now will be returned to us ten-fold.

The equation is really simple. A bigger stadium means more of everything. More space to house more booths which will need more employees to staff and maintain. Bottom line here is more jobs.

But it doesn't stop there. In addition to creating stronger employment opportunities, the stadium will also see much more revenue poured back into organizations such as arts programs in the Denver Public Schools. Parents groups staff booths and keep a large percent of the profits as a donation to their respective causes.

I'll say it slow for you in the back of the classroom.

A bigger stadium means more seats. More seats means more people. More people means more money being spent. More money being spent means more money going back into the school and communities.

Which means this tax is not money thrown away, but an investment into your city.

As far as the issue of being blackmailed into buying a new stadium goes, it's not quite tha~ black and white. Yes, the underlying notion is that if Bowlen doesn't get what he wants, he'll pick up and move the Broncos, to which Ringo says, principles mean more than cash cows.

On that point, I'll say, show me the money. Ringo and the rest of the morally opposed can hold to their precious principles while I'll take my compromising ass to the bank.

But forget about that for a moment. The issue here is not. "if I don't get what I want I'm taking my ball and going to play somewhere else." The issue here is, "look at what we can do for each other and the community."

It's not just propaganda. It really is a win-win situation.

Yes, I'm a Broncos fan, and I can count the number of games I have been able to attend on one hand. I and most of the city will probably get few chances to enjoy seeing a game in the new stadium because of the difficulty of procuring the precious seats.

But if the tax passes, I, as a Denver resident, will own a piece of something much bigger than football, much bigger than John Elway or Pat Bowlen or Terrell Davis.

I will own a piece of this city's future.

Pluralism-must include women Editor: Oct. 21-22 Metro (hosted) a conference entitled "Democracy and pluralism," sponsored by the Honors Program, Student Activities, the Club Funding Committee and the diversity Council. My radar detector is completely extended on this one, as usual, and it is with great disappointment, but certainly not with surprise, that I write this editorial.

It is 1998, isn' t it, or have I been flashed back to another era? I do recall a number of educators espousing ideas of inclusiveness, a behavior that suggests an individual has acquired a higher level of consciousness, an acceptance and promotion of diversity. It is also widely accepted that diverse ideas come from diverse individuals, i.e. women, minorities, sexual orientation, non-Europeans and others.

Yet, out of 23 particjpants at a conference on "democarcy/pluralism," only one woman was among the panelists.

First of all, I am annoyed with the

very thought that in 1998 Metro would sponsor such a conference of exclusiveness and that the Honors Program would be bold enough to think they could get away with staging such an event. I also question how the Diversity Council justified funding it. I am not suggesting that men, predominantly of EuroAmerican heritage are not capable of providing diverse perspectives. What I am saying is that there are many women, faculty and students on this and other campuses who are very capable of contributing significantly to these discussions. One might note that the democracy women have attained was not handed to them, women and men fought for them. This just might suggest that women know at least what men know about such a topic. Naturally, I am disappointed with my colleagues who are organizing this conference; individuals who espouse diversity however defined, and ones who have not so far attempted to rectify such a blatant form

of sexism. I have heard mentioned, however, that since catching wind of my discovery, women are being invited. Clearly this is an afterthought. That's fine, but this certainly doesn't let them off the hook.

I am not alone on this one. My students, Honors included, are equally disgusted with this behavior, especially from professors they assumed were progressive thinkers. Is it too much to ask of men to be race- and gender-conscious simultaneously? Or are they not capable of rubbing their tummy and patting their head at the same time? If you want an all-male conference, don't wrap it under the guise of democracy and pluralism, please. And don 't use our precious funds to promote such behavior. Just don't do it!

In the - very well-done - article (Oct. 23) by Sean Weaver, Owens is quoted as saying, "Tuition in Colorado has been increasing far faster than the rate of inflation." I was surprised to hear of this skyrocketing increase in the tuition rates in Colorado, primarily

because I had spent Oct. 17 at the CSA leadership conference, where one of the workshops I attended was on tuition control and financial aid. This workshop was taught by two staff members from· the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, the office responsible for regulating policy for all higher education institutions in Colorado, and compiles annual reports on everything from graduation rates to tuition rates.

The information given to the students who attended this workshop is completely opposite from what Bill Owens said in this quote. He states that tuition in Colorado has been increasing far beyond the rate of inflation. That is patently untrue. According to information given by the commission, rates of tuition in Colorado have been relatively stable for the past four years, ever since the Tabor laws limited the amount an institution of higher education could increase its

Flomberg column unfair Editor: (A letter to The Metropolitan columnist Dave Flomberg.)

I am a two-year student who has been a fan of yours over the past year.

Every week I try to read your column. I agree with about 90 percent of what you write.

I guess the reason I like your column so much is because of you're Jewish heritage. I am a Christian white guy who believes very strongly in blessing Jewish people and am personally very interested in Jewish culture.

Anyway, but you are a great columnist.

This week (Oct. 23), however, I disagree with you on one point. While I feel

we all (especially me, being a part of the "dominant group") should try to learn more about other cultures; the same freedom that alows us to do that allows the KKK to spread their material. Make no mistake - I do not nor would I ever condone or support the KKK! But freedom of speach means we must allow even the stupid and ignorant to speak.

Sorry this is so long, just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your column each week. Keep bringing to light the rich and colorful Jewish culture, and our unfortunate neglect of it.

tuition. The cost of tuition in Colorado has been held down to a rate of increase no higher than the cost of inflation since the 1995-96 school year. In fact, thanks to the tuition buy-down, which CSA has advocated for each year, the rate of\ increase in Colorado tuition has been held down to only 1.3 percent - two full percentage points below the 3.3 percent inflation rate stated by the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, Bill Owens is either misinformed about this issue (which means he shouldn't be talking about it), or else he was deliberately trying to get people to vote for him based on this false concern about student issues.

Either way, I find myself disgusted by the idea of having such an individual as Colorado's next governor.

By Gary Brady-Herndon Overpopulation could be disasterous to the Earth, said an organization dedicated to achieving a society with zero population growth.

The world cannot support an infinite number of people, and the Earth's resources .are at risk of not being able to support the amount of living beings on it, said the 7.ero Population Growth group.

ZPG's message is clear: Earth is headed for a crisis.

According to the Musee d l'Homme (Museum of Man) in France, five children are born every second, yet only two people die in that same time. Earth's human population increases by 10,800 every hour.

The United States has a population of almost 300 million. The population will increase to almost 430 million in the next 50 years.

The world population is about to top 6 billion and is doubling every 45 years.

Almost 1 billion people go hungry every day and urban sprawl threatens the countryside, the group's literature read.

Sound like a scene from a 1950s low-budget, sci-fi movie? Not to ZPG. Its efforts to educate and enlighten anyone who will listen about the growing population continue.

Enioyable suicidal tendencies? Yes!

By Ricardo Baca magine a person close to you telling you he or she was going to commit suicide today.

This is the premise upon which 'night, Mother is built.

The play, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983, is a moving piece of literature that explores the unknown realities of suicide and its internalizations.

The dramatic text is a work of art as it weaves a background of well-intended suicidal tendencies.

That's right. Jesse's suicide is well-intended.

The production, playing at The Shop, is a great example of how this play should be performed. The actresses make a bee-line to the objective, and the delivery and presentation are delicious.

It really doesn't take long to get there. The play opens, and within five minutes, Jesse (kryssi wyckoff martin) tells her mom (Kathryn Gray) of her intent to kill herself that night. Her mother at first brushes it off as if it's a ploy for attention. But she learns more and more of her daughter's serious intentions as the story progresses.

The audience learns that Jesse is epileptic. and never learned of her sickness until her adulthood. It's something her mother hid from her, fearing she might feel abnormal. Jesse also had a fall-out marriage and a kid who does nothing but steal from her. But since she hasn't seen either her husband or her child for a while, it's just been her and mama for a long time.

Mama fights Jesse's suicidal nature with threatening words, flying

Unexplained events happen regularly at the Molly Brown House at 1340 Pennsylvania, causing volunteers and guests to wonder if phantoms haunt the mansion.

A psychic was brought in at one time, and - said the spirit of Molly's parents haunted the room that they lived and died in.

A volunteer saw a man on the steps dressed as a butler, but when she turned around, be was gone. Furniture moves from

One night during the Christmas season, a volunteer placed some toy soldiers on display under the Christmas tree. She was the last to leave the house, and the first one to arrive the next morning. When she arrived, she found the toy soldiers on the stairs inside the house..

Elizabeth Walker, the curator of the house, said that in the first months she worked there, a picture fell off of the wall whenever she was in the room. One afternoon, she saw unexplained puffs of smoke near the study, which was where J.J. Brown used to smoke his cigars. Other people have reported smelling cigar smoke in the vicinity of the study.

Residents of the neighborhood have reported seeing lights on in the house at odd times.

A former occupant of the apartment over the carriage house went into the main house one night to take a picture of the table setting for a party before the guests arrived. He was the only onein the room, but when the picture was developed, a woman was sitting at the table. That same man was killed in a car accident, and the next tenant of the carriage house reported that the dead man's glasses appeared one night on the table beside the bed. · Furniture also moved around quite a bit there all the way across the room.

Meanwhile, Jesse is preparing h~r mother for self-dependency. She shows her mother where the candy is kept, teaches her. how to use the washing machine and gives her a , list of Christmas presents for family and friends covering the next few years.

And there is no surprise ending here. Jesse, at the end of the play, shoots herselfwith her father's gun.· It's a wild ride all right. Genoa's Mother Presents handles the sensitive material with the right mix of tenderness and outrage. Wyckoff martin's minimalist approach is perfect. Too many people overact the role of Jesse, but wyckoff martin understands and emphasizes the fact that nobody can possibly change Jesse's mind.

Gray, on the· other hand, shows a wide spread of extreme emotions.

When she is loving and asks for her weekly manicure, she is the epitome of the caring and attentive mother. But when she isn't getting her way, she is venomous and conniving.

The success of the Metro women's soccer team this season has been a result of the improvement of key areas; stronger goalkeeping, quicker defense and the one area of the Roadrunner's game that has been the most improved this season: the offense.

The biggest contributor to that success has been from junior midfielder Kari Pierce. She is leading the Roadrunners in goals scored (14), total points (34), is second on the team with six assists and is among the best offensive players in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

In Pierce's first two seasons, she had a total of eight goals, four each in her freshman and sophomore years. This season she has almost doubled that output.

"Kari worked hard over the summer," senior midfielder and Kari's sister Katie Pierce said. "She has improved a great deal, not that she was bad or anything before, because she was an outstanding player, but how much she worked in the summer helped her out."

This was the first time that Kari just trained in the summer rather than play summer ball. · "I trained everyday this summer with Zac (Loescher) and Shane (Smith) from

career points with 57, and tied for 3rd in career assists with 13. She will have a chance to add to those totals as Metro has two remaining conference games.

"I've been around soccer since I started walking," Kari said. "I had five brothers and sisters ahead of me that played soccer, so I was around it a Jot." Kari and her two sisters, Katie and Jennifer, played soccer at Arvada West High School.

"It was fun playing in high school with them," Kari said. "By that time in high school, we knew what the other was thinking by just a look. I wouldn't have to say 'Hey Katie' or anything like that, we just knew."

Getting all three sisters to Metro was something that was accomplished one Pierce at a time.

"There was one way that we knew how to get Jennifer, Katie and Kari to come to Metro," head coach Ed Montojo said. "We knew that if we got one of them here, we had a chance of getting another one. If we had two of them here, we knew that we would have a good possibility of getting the last one."

Talking to Katie has helped Kari improve her game throughout the season.

"After every game, we go somewhere and talk about the game," Kari said. "We tell each other the truth, we don't lie if someone had a bad game. There are not ,fohn Swift/The N.etropolitan many people on the team that have someone to talk to that will be honest with them Junior midfielder Kari Pierce dribbles past a Regis defender in a 3-2 dou· about how they are playing." ble overtime win Oct. 25.

The Metro men's soccer team learned a lesson from its last loss, a 4-0 defeat to Southern Colorado Oct. 18. It learned that every game counts.

Wednesday night, Oct. 28, the Roadrunners took their newfound knowledge and made quick work of the Colorado School of Mines, posting a 2-0 shutout victory over the Orediggers.

...

•

Minor daughters faced with a crisis pregnancy need the love, protection, and support of their parents.

No one has the best interest at heart for a daughter more than her parents!

•

Minor daughters are often pressured to have an abortion to cover up statutory rape or other more serious crimes, or coerced by people for profit or who think they know better than her parents!

•

Abortion can lead to death or serious injury as it has in Colorado. In the very least, abortion is traumatic.

Unregulated abortion clinics in Colorado do not provide medical care for emergencies!

•

Parents of minors are held financially and legally responsible for medical and psychological care after the abortion • despite the fact that they were not notified beforehand_.

•

A minor must have her parent's permission to have her ears pierced, yet can be pressured to have an abortion behind her parents' backs i·n an abortion mill which is not equipped for medical emergencies.

The fact is that more girls have died from abortions in these abortion mills than ever died from so-called back alley abortions.

•

If you had a thirteen year-old daughter, wouldn't you want to be with her through the emotional crisis of an unplanned pregnancy? Contrary to false statistics espoused by the opponents of these two laws, less than 50% of minors tell their parents before seeking an abortion, and most of these are being pressured by a boyfriend to have the abortion.

--

,,

Parental involvement laws are working well in 31 other states reducing abortion among minors by up to 300/.i and reducing teenage pregnancy. Despite what opponents say to mislead the public - these laws do work and are constitutional! Per U.S. Supreme Court require ments, the proposed law contains a "judicial bypass" provision which releases minors from ha~ng parents notified when there has been abuse or there is a fear of abuse. Every major poll shows that up to 80 percent of the voting supports parental notification! Opponents are saying their is no judicial by-pass. That is not true!

The top five newspapers in t~e state including the Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Colorado Springs Gazette (the Gazette has endorsed only the parental notification initiative, but is not taking a stand on the partial-birth abortion issue), the Pueblo Chieftain, and the Grand Junction Sentinel, have all studied both sides of the issues, and have strongly endorsed both initiatives saying they are common sense, middle of the roads laws which should be supported by reasonable people. They encourage you to:

VOTE YES ON 11 & 12

THE OPPONENTS OF THESE _lWO MEASURES ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. HERE ARE THE FACTS: •

-

According to every major poll, these are both common sense issues which Republicans and Democrats alike, whether prochoice and pro-life, religious or not, support.

•

The top f1Ve newspapers in the state including the Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Colorado Springs Gazette (the Gazette has endorsed only the Pa.rental notification initiative, but is not taking a stand on the partial-birth abortion issue), the Pueblo Chieftain, and the Grand Junction Sentinel, have all studied both sides of the issues, and have strongly endorsed both initiatives saying they are common sense, middle of the roads laws which should be supported by reasonable people.

'

.

•

The fact is opponents are not telling the truth about these measures. Their information takes phrases out of context to distort and misinform the public. It is very significant to note that the opponents fed the same line to the major newspapers without success!

•

Opponents are saying the language is ''vague and deceptive". The tnJth is that the Parental Notification law language is based on that of other states which has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is constitutional, and is working effectively protecting minors. The Partial Birth Abortion ban is similar to laws in other states which have been deemed constitutional through several levels of court review, and are under appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

•

It should also be noted that the supporters of these two laws have raised over 95% of their money instate from individuals.

Adversely, those opposing these laws have raised practically all of their money from the abortion industry and left wing organizations, many of which are from out of state.

•

Opponents claims that 41 organizations support their opposition to the laws must be closely examined. Most of these are liberal organizations, The Colorado Nursing Association represents less than 20% of practicing nurses. And the fact is that this association along with the Colorado Medical Association do not poll their members, so their endorsement holds little validity.

•

Remember, the American Medical i\ssociation supports a ban on Partial Birth Abortion stating that the procedure is "not good medicine". They do not agree with the Colorado Medical Association.

/

•

Opponents of these two measures have sent "canned" letters to the editor around the state. This is a deceptive practice.

Further more, they have destroyed hundreds of proponent signs around the state.

•

So take what the opponents say wjth a grain of salt. The opposition is for the most part sponsored by the billion dollar a year abortion industry. The proposals will definitely put a dent in their profds. On the other hand, supporters of the two laws have nothing to gain except to bring some common sense and reason to an out of control abortion industry in the state of Colorado.

•

Statewide polls show that up to 68% of Coloradoans support these two initiatives. These voters have seen through the

dece~

tive arguments of the opponents.

The five largest newspapers in the state have examined both sides of the issue, and encourage you to vote "VES" on Amendments 11 & 12.

I was asked this week how difficult it is to adjust to the various places that we play. Sometimes it is nice places in California, New Hampshire and Florida, but most of the time it is somewhere in Colorado.

Here is a bit of commentary on the venues in which we play.

Southern Colorado • Pueblo.

Although just being in Pueblo may be enough, tarantulas, yes the big spiders,' are the most interesting feature of this site. If we play there in August or September, you have to shake out your bag before getting on the bus, just so you see coach on 11·

don 't bring home a hairy little pet. They are usually all dead by the time we get to late season games. Fans put a couch on the sideline to obtain maximum intimacy in cheering for the home team. Difficult place to play.

Ft. Lewis - Durango. After a joyful eight hour bus trip it is always nice to play on a field stuck on the top of a mountain, where the breeze can blow completely through your ridged and cold body. This is the only place in the country that you can have a game postponed twice, once for lightning and once for snow, in the same day. Great scenery. Nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

Colorado School of Mines - Golden.

This ls an engineering school, I would think that they could figure out how to put up lights with a little more candle power.

We play on a football field, which would be great if we played football. Crown in the middle of the field would make Queen Elizabeth proud. Fans shout insults such as "I bet you couldn't score a goal if you had a protractor." Not the most hostile environment in the RMAC. Colorado Christian - Lakewood.

Dry weather, one of the best in the conference, wet weather, they use Moses to part

the water on the west sideline. I'm a little scared to poke fun at a Christian school, so

Fans put a couch on the sideline to obtain maximum intamacy In cheering for the home team.

I won't comment furth~r.

CU-Colorado Springs - Bring every piece of clothing you own. Twice I have witnessed a 30 degree temperature change during a game. Neither time was it for the better. Their field has more slant to it than the Starr report, but it is a nice facility.

Can't complain about this one.

Regis - Denver. I think the best place

to play in the conference. There are always enough jerks in the stands to make it a fun game. The atmosphere is great there. They get behind their team and have fun doing it. A developing rivalry makes it that much more fun. Good field. Great competition, Regis always comes to play. Country version of the National Anthem must go.

Metro State - Auraria Campus.

Home sweet home. Traditionally has not been the toughest place to play in the league. That has changed recently. Having playable grass this year has been a help.

Best groundskeeper around who is, at times, a spitting image of Bill Murray in Caddyshack. Great location for everyone.

Parking can be a problem on weekdays.

Campus support is good when classes are in session and the weather is good. Take a minute, walk out onto the fields this week and look at all Denver has to offer, it is impressive when you stop to think about it.

You can help us make it the worst place for a visiting team to play. Come see us this weekend. Our players deserve it.
