Sexual harassment at Nepal campus detailed in June letter

By Lisa Opsahl-Lang

The Metropolitan

Officials at the University of Colorado at Denver were alerted to problems at the school's Nepal campus four months before a Metro student said she was raped there in November. The 20-year-old female student said she was raped following a Halloween party at the campus Nov. I. CU-Denver graduate and former Metro student Richard Roberts sent a seven-page letter to the university detailing allegations of safety violations, financial mismanagement, a poor academic environment and sexual misconduct. CU-Denver Chancellor Georgia Lesh-Laurie responded to Roberts' letter Aug. 7, saying the allegations of sexual misconduct had been turned over to the university's sexual harassment officer. The 20-year-old woman said she was raped by a security guard at the school in Katmandu. She told the Denver Rocky Mountain News she was assaulted in a

school classroom after a Halloween party. Beer was sold at the party and students were told to sleep at the school rather than walk home at night, she said. The woman said she was drunk and fell asleep at the party. Later, she woke up and asked the guard for a blanket and mat to sleep on. He lay down with her and asked her for sex. She said she refused, but he forced her to have sex. "Nobody ever said living in a Third World country would be easy. But I was in the school. It should have been safe," the woman told the News. The woman declined to be interviewed by The Metropolitan, citing emotional distress. Marshall Collins, of CU-Denver media relations, said the university is investigating the woman's claim. "We never had a position on this claim to begin with," Collins said. Collins said the woman might not have filed a report, but made phone calls. "I do know that when we were alerted, we sent someone out to investigate,"

Collins said. Larry Bell, director of the Office of International Education at CU-Denver, said he went to Nepal in mid-November to investigate the program. Bell said the woman didn't contact his department about the rape. "If a report was filed it would have been in Nepal," Bell said. Bell and Collins both said they did not have a written report of her rape claim. CU-Boulder student Mary.Driver, 23, said the woman needed to go home after the incident. "CU-Denver was contacted several times and did nothing," Driver said. Initially, the woman had been offered counseling services through a private company that runs the study-abroad program with CU-Boulder. A counselor from the Metro Counseling Center, Suki Montgomery, said regardless of what happened, the woman has every right to seek counseling for what happened in Nepal. see NEPAL on 5

BOard weighs sex harassment rules : New policy by Colorado Commission on Higher Education would allow claims regardless of intent By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan If the Colorado Commission on -r--Higher Education votes to approve a change in Metro's sexual harassment policy this summer, victims can claim harassment regardless of the offender's intention. Lee Combs, an attorney for Metro, _, said the new intent policy has been proposed to warn people about harassment situations that "can get them into trouble."

"This policy is a more ·expansive way of explaining sexual harassment than the previous policy," Combs said. The proposed policy was read at the last board meeting and approved for further review. Combs said it must now go through a review commission and be approved by the board in a final vote. "The Supreme Court has made two recent decisions about sexual harassment and intent, which de-emphasize intent. Combs said Metro wants to add it to make distinctions about types of harassment.

Combs explained how the policy change would work with a hypothetical scenario. "Let's say a department chair initiates a request (for a date) to a subordinate, and that request is unwelcome, it's a problem," he said. Combs said that if a person in a position of power over someone else asks for a date, and the subordinate feels inhibited they may not feel comfortable expressing that the behavior makes them uncomfortable. "The troublesome part is that the

person in power will go forward in the belief that the request wasn't unwelcome. And then it comes up later that it was," he said. Combs said the new proposed policy isn't just about asking someone out on a date, it's about power relationships. "It's unfortunate, but it's a reality we have to live with," he said. Boni Cherelle-Caruth, associate director of Metro Equal Opportunity, said an open forum about the proposed policy change will be at IO a.m. March 29, at the Tivoli Turnhalle.

Student bus pass proposal expanded ""- By Rebecca Rivas The Metropolitan Metro students will have to fork out a few extra dollars if they vote to continue the RTD bus pass next month, but they _ will also get a few extra services. With the new plan, Metro students will pay $17.70 per semester in fees for bus service, said John Pung, manager of research and sales for RID. The current fee is $16.50. The normal student pass issued - through RTD costs $2 I per month. Next fall, the local bus and Light Rail services would remain free. Unlike last year, students would receive free Express and Regional Express services.

"Since we are a commuter school and don't offer housing, we should at least offer incentive to finding easier ways to campus," said Metro senior Kevin Mahoney. The Express runs on highways with limited stops, Pung said. Regional Express includes service to areas such as Broomfield, Boulder and Parker. Students would be able to travel on Regional buses for $1, which is 75 cents less than last year. Another addition to student service would be the SkyRide, the buses to Denver International Airport. Students would receive a $2 credit on this service. Prices range from $4 to $8, Pung said.

In total, Auraria will pay RTD $1.1 million, if students vote to continue the bus pass referendum. In agreeing on this contract, Matt Johnson, a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said RTD representatives first gave the impression of, "Oh my God, you're going to break us," because students would be paying so little for their service. Johnson said only a small amount of RTD's revenue comes from riders. Pung agreed that a large part of revenue comes from taxes and not riders . RTD does not make a profit from con-

The man arrested in November in connection with the slaying of his ex-girlfriend, Metro student Jennifer Foretich, cut his wrists with a razor and has been moved to the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo. Paul Huston Tinsley III, 25, was found in his jail cell Feb. 12 with apparent self-inflicted cuts to his wrists, Sheriff's Sgt. Attila Denes said. The wounds were superficial, but he was transferred to the Mental Health Institute for a psychological evaluation, Denes said. The Douglas County District Attorney filed murder and sexual assault charges against Tinsley Feb. 3. Tinsley pleaded not guilty to the charges at his Paul Tinsley arraignment Feb. 18. Tinsley is in custody and held with no bond. On Nov. 20, 1998 Foretich, 19, was found stabbed to death in her mother's basement. Denes said the coroner's report showed she had also been sexually assaulted. Police found Tinsley at Lookout Mountain with stab wounds to the chest Nov. 21. He was taken to Saint Anthony's Hospital for treatment and arrested later. District Attorney, Jim Peters will prosecute the case in July, said Michael Knight, public information officer for Douglas County.

Suspects held in student's stabbing death

Two suspects arrested in connection with the stabbing death of 19-year-old Metro student Robert Hayden have been held over for trial. Joseph Crazy Horse Roybal, 18, was arrested Feb. 2 and Darnell Prelow, 20, was arrested Feb. 3. Both will have preliminary hearings on March 10, at 9 a.m. A roommate found Robert Hayden's body in the hallway of their apartment at 1250 Galapago St., according to police reports. Det. John Wyckoff said Hayden's attack may have been the result of an attempted burglary. Police found signs of a struggle, but not forced entry. Jan Roper, a family friend, said Hayden's uncle persuaded him to move to Colorado from his home in New York 18 months ago. Hayden had been living with his uncle on Rumbolt street and moved into his Galapago home nine days before he was stabbed to death.

The Metropolitan Metro's Student Government Assembly will hold a public forum to discuss a proposal to raise the Student Affairs Fee. Supporters of the $10 fee increase say it is to prevent budget cuts in programs such as campus recreation, theater events and student club funding. The estimated revenue from the fee increase would be an additional $399,000, based on current enrollment. "We're always trying to create awareness of what students pay for," said Brendan Haymaker, vice president of student fees. "Students need to come to these things if they want to voice their opinion on student fees." The forum will be from noon lo 1 p.m. March 3 in Tivoli Room 640. The fee is calculated on a sliding scale

based on tuition credit hours, ranging from $11.25 to $42.25. After the proposed increase, it would range from $21.25 to $52.25. Those who take eight or more credit hours will pay the most, but the students hit hardest will be those who only take a class or two. The Student Affairs Fee covers more than 17 student programs at Metro, including Child Care, Student Activities, Campus Recreation.Theater events and Student Publications. According to the Metro Student Handbook, Student Activities accounted for 23 percent of the revenue generated by the fee this academic year. The office of Student Publications accounted for 18 percent, 16 percent went to Campus Recreation and 11 percent for Student Life, the Student

Advisory Board. The remaining 43 percent is divided amont;15 organizations, including the Child Care Center, Student Government and Student Legal Services. The Student Affairs Board, at their Dec. 16 meeting, voted unanimously to support the increase. The fee was suggested by the student government and supported by all board members present at their Dec. 16 meeting. Due to a lack of the required attendance by board members for that meeting, no vote was taken, according to Student Affairs Board meeting minutes. Student government members feel additional funding is necessary to maintain and improve student services that are currently being compromised due to "chronic under fund ing." According to the

board, there was more than $266,000 of unmet need last year, partly due to fees that are 42 to 91 percent lower than other state institutions and a 10 percent drop in enrollment. "The current fees are negatively impacting the student services we can provide," said Jim Hayen, a member of the board. "If we had more money to operate, it would really bring us up to today's standards," said Thomas Muenzberg, former director of the student finance resource center. The center provides short-ter emergency loans up to $300 for student. "The amount of the loans has been $300 since I can remember. Three-hum] Âˇed wouldn't take care of the typical emergency in 1999."

"If she's distressed, she should get help," Montgomery said. "UCD should be more supportive about what happened. The school shouldn't pass judgment on her claim." The students spend 40 days studying, hiking and rafting in Nepal, Bell said. One incident detailed in Roberts' letter occurred during the program's trek through the Himalayas. "Guides ... repeatedly scrawled suggestive and obscene signs in the dirt along the trail," Roberts wrote. He said these actions created "an atmosphere of distrust" and he became suspicious of the head guide.

Roberts said students were endangered on the trek and a rafting trip because of improper and inadequate supplies. When Roberts returned to Denver he wrote his letter to the university. "I was preparing for law school and knew I was moving. So I had hoped my letter would take care of it," Roberts said. "I got a lot of responses. I heard from the chancellor. I heard from Lawrence Bell," Roberts said. "All these people responded and then - nothing." When Roberts was told about the woman who was raped he thought he should tell her he had warned CU-Denver. "I didn't want her to jump into a settlement," he said.

Driver said she had "an amazing experience" in Nepal. "I've done three study abroad programs," she said. "I know what they're like." Driver said the people she went to Nepal with still get together. "We all wish we could go back," she said. "We all think about it all the time." Driver said before she went to Nepal the program had made changes. "Our classroom was awesome," she said. "There were changes during my trip and from what I understand there are still changes being made." "I'd recommend the program in a heartbeat," Driver said.

"You have to be mature to make it in Nepal," she said. "It's a Third World country. Nepal is the second poorest county outside of Africa." Metro has no study abroad programs, spokeswoman Debbie Thomas said. "I do know that individual profs organize study abroad trips, but we don't have foreign campuses like UCD," she said. Thomas said if a student attends an international program such as those at CUDenver, Metro doesn't have any say whether the student goes or not. "I suppose we'd get involved with college credit," Thomas said. "If you do study abroad you'd have to see if it counted for credit," she said.

MSCD Peer Educators Presents:

Student services director quits By Sean Weaver The Metropolitan Metro's director of the Student Finance Resource Center resigned Feb. 26. Thomas Muenzberg has been the director of the center since 1995. "I'm very proud of this program," Muenzberg said. ''It's a hard thing to let go, but I'm excited to move on to a different stage in my life." Muenzberg said he had a job lined up, but the company went out of business. "So now I'm out in the abyss," he said. The Student Finance Resource Center

helps students with short term loans, budgeting and allocates funds for student club travel. "The way I've always approached this job is 90 percent counseling and l 0 percent finance," he said. "I've heard better stories than a bartender would." Lutrey, Kate Thomas Muenzberg interim executive vice president of student services, said Muenzberg's commitment to

Student clubs receive $10,000 By Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

..-

Metro's sculpture club and the Association of Information System Professionals are among the clubs holding events this semester with financial help from the club funding committee. The committee gave $1,380 Feb. 24 to Metro's sculpture club for a student art exhibition to be held in April. "This exhibition will involve all Metro artists working in 3-D media," said John Trujillo, president of the club. "It will be a vital learning process for up-andcoming artists and will aid everyone a great deal." The club funding committee also gave $2, 128.36 to the Association of Information System Professionals for a job fair to be held April 14. "If we didn't receive those funds, we wouldn't be able to do the fair," said Pam Prinz, president of the association. "It makes me feel good because I've been paying these fees since I've been here at Metro. I feel reassured these fees are going to worthwhile causes. "The job fair will not just be for business majors," she said. "The employers we invite will be representative of several majors." Two other clubs, Sigma Tau Delta and the Golden Key National Honor Society, requested a total of $1,850, but their request was denied.

This semester, more than $10,000 has been used to fund events organized by Metro's student clubs. "The club funding committee seeks to allocate money based on events that can impact campus life," said Zav Dadabhoy, Metro's director of student activities . "They look for programs that enhance the students' overall co-curricular experience." Other clubs that have received funds this semester include $2,498 for the Womyn Warriors to hold events during Women's History Month, and $299 for the Metro Art Guild for its annual art exhibition at the Emanuel Gallery. Dadabhoy said each year $30,000 to $35,000 is reserved to help Metro's student clubs. The money is raised through the student activities fees. "I imagine the fees will run out (within the next month)," Dadabhoy said. The club funding committee decides on allocations to the clubs at several meetings throughout the semester. Clubs must fill out a funding proposal then present their requests to the committee. "If someone comes in with a frivolous proposal, it's most likely to be shot down," said Brendan Haymaker, Metro student government vice president of student fees. "But if someone comes in with a well thought out plan, we'll give them the most consideration. The greatest benefit for all students is the number one thing."

Survey to determine RTD use BUS from 3

tracts with schools because they are a public agency, Pung said. On an average weekday in 1998, 7,691 students rode the bus or Light Rail, said RTD representatives. To find this figure, RTD employees stood at 13 bus stops that run to and from Auraria Campus and surveyed the boarders. Pung said that some of these riders could be faculty members. Statisticians worked with this number and extrapolated to get the final percentage, Pung said. SACAB members found

flaws in the number. ''They made some major assumptions that we couldn't agree with," Johnson said. SACAB members figured it was more like 15 percent of students that use their bus pass, Johnson said. Pung said that 99 percent of the students in the boarding figures are from Auraria and not CU. SACAB and RTD members agreed to conduct a survey on campus to come up with a new percentage, Pung said. The new plan was confirmed Feb. 8 and· will not change after the student vote decision.

Metro students will be missed. "He built the program," she said. 1 "Since he was a Metro student before, he was very loyal to student needs. I've had students in financial straits before, and Tom was always very good in helping them. It's our loss." Matt Guy, budget analyst for Metro's student services, will take over Muenzberg's position March 1. "Tom has done a very good job in keeping the program going," he said. ''I intend to keep that personal contact going." Guy said he plans to add more budgeting and finance seminars for students to the program.

~ Editor's note: February marks 20 years of continuous publication for The Metropolitan. It is the oldest publication on Auraria Campus. It is also, perhaps, the best venue students have to communicate with other students and Metro administrators. For the next several editions we will reprint significant stories from our past. The Metropolitan '.I" writers, photographers and editors are proud to serve on a publication that is truly the voice of students and an ongoing reflection of our times.

By Emerson Schwartzkopf The Metropolitan March 7, 1979 Changes in Auraria parking lot rate structures, approved last Thursday by the Auraria Board of Directors, could mean a possible doubling in costs to users this fall. The largest change in a lot rate is in Lot L, where parking will be card access only for $20 per month. Jerome Wartgow, Auraria Higher Education Center executive director, said the lots would have electronic gates restricting general access. Lot N, the lot in front of the St. Francis Interfaith Center, will be converted to a 20 cents per hour metered lot, Wartgow said. Lot G, directly adjacent to the Auraria Student Center, will be converted to an hourly lot staffed by an attendant with a 25 cents per hour rate, with a daily maximum of $I. Lots P and Q, both directly northeast of the Physical Education and Recreation building, will go up from their current 50 cents per day to 75 cents per day. Lot B, directly southwest of the Auraria tennis courts will change from 25 cents for four hours to 50 cents per day. Wartgow said the changes in Auraria parking rates were based on five reasons: A wider selection of parking options, safety, reducing the need for enforcement of parking regulations, encouraging other modes of transportation to the campus and insuring sufficient revenues to repay the parking lot bonds.

SELF-CONFIDENCE Q

What is self-confidence?

Self-confidence is often confused with arrogance or self-centeredness, but actually self-confidence is an attitude you hold which allows you to have positive and realistic views about yourself. People with a sense of healthy self-confidence are able to continue to be positive about themselves, even if they fail on occasion. Self-confidence is important because it allows you to feel good about yourself, set attainable goals, and trust your judgement. Self-confidence can also allow you to be more at ease in social situations and will help you give people a clearer and more positive impression of who you are.

Habits to avoid include: • Magnifying negative aspects of oneself • Over criticizing oneself • Negatively comparing oneself to others • Not taking compliments • Giving yourself negative labels

Self-confidence can be improved by: • Knowing your weaknesses but emphasizing your strengths • Giving yourself credit • Not dwellini on negative criticism but considering 1t • Using positive self-talk such as I can ... lam •.. I will ..• • Accepting and loving yourself for who you are and what is special about you!

Obiecting to Obiectivism The Religious Right has been getting its fair share of criticism lately. It is an easy task, with its leaders outing children's television characters and often-contradicting opinions (abortion bad, death penalty good). Disturbing, however, is the Matthew J. Lilley absence of any sort of attack on the non-religious right. Say what you will of the Christian Right, but they at least pay lip service to the liberal ideas of compassion and charity. The most well-known figurehead of the non-religious right has to be author Ayn Rand. A self-styled exile from Soviet Russia, her fiction served as a channel for her objectionable philosophy of Objectivism. Though Rand is dead, her ideas form the core for the surging non-religious right. One such proponent of Rand's ideas spoke on campus Feb. 18 to a disturbingly large audience at the Tivoli. Andrew Bernstein lectured on ''The Mind as a Hero in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged." The University of Colorado at Denver chapter of the Objectivist Student Organization sponsored the event. Bernstein was anything but apologetic in his presentation of Rand's ultra-conservative brand of ethical egoism. He went to great lengths to make "altruism" a bad word, mocking the life of service and self-sacrifice of Mother Theresa. Bernstein went so far as to blame altruism for the rise of Communism, the murder of 6 million Jews and slavery of Africans in America. Egoism means that everything people or animals do is for their own self-interest - there are no selfless acts. Under this theory, donations to the children's shelter are made to ease the conscience of those doing the donating.

Ethical egoism states that whether an individual's motives are self-interested is irrelevant: Individuals ought to serve only their own interests. Notice the use of the word "individual." Objectivists, including Bernstein, adore both the word and its concept. Since it is the individual whose interests are solely being considered, self interest is the only way to go, Objectivists would reason. Never mind the fact that man is a social creature; Never mind the fact that Capitalism pushed by the self-interested egoists only further increases man's reliance on the social order. Most frightening is Objectivism's inherent justification for Capitalism, an economic system of too many evils to list in this space. The innovators and industrialists responsible for many of the world's advances are heroes of the mind, Bernstein said. Because Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Bill Gates aspired to such heights and made so much money, everyone benefits and everyone profits. Because of their industriousness, jobs are created. Those who worked 12-hour days in the coal mines of West Virginia to supply coal that powered the United States should thank Edison for their jobs. Assembly line workers owe their repetitive jobs lo Ford. The Objectivists' idolization of Gates is most puzzling, since the monopoly Capitalism he practices does not compare to the laissez-faire Capitalism Rand pushes. Ayn Rand is a tremendous author whose books, such as Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead tell wonderful tales where Capitalism and her philosophy star as hero. But it's fiction, folks.

Lobbying contribution worth it As the Colorado Student Association board member for Metro, there are a few clarifications I would like to offer the students regarding your positions (Good riddance to lobbyists, Feb. 19). It is true that most students do not participate in student elections, or take an active voice in their govRuth Bums ernment. Most people do not vote in state or local elections either, yet they are still bound by the laws passed by the few who do. In a very real sense, CSA is the voice of the students of Colorado to our government. It is a united front of students from all across the state. It is also true that there are many different interests represented by the 11 member campuses of CSA, and that not every single action taken by any organization can always please all of its members all of the time. The University of Colorado at Boulder, the largest and bestfunded public college in Colorado, has needs that differ widely from those of small institutions like Western State College, or from those of a non-traditional institution like Metro. However, few students anywhere are likely to be unhappy about their tuition not rising more than 1.2 percent during the past three years, thanks to the tuition buydowns actively lobbied for by CSA. Not many students probably object to CSA's idea of the state providing a line item in the higher education budget for the purchase and maintenance of technology - something our student fees are currently funding. CSA focuses its lobbying strictly on political issues directly or indirectly relating to higher education. One

such issue, we believe, is House Bill 1189. If passed, it would prohibit the spending of any state money on political activity. In general this is a good idea. The issue at stake for college students, however, is not so much their possible political activity as it is their freedom to decide for themselves how their student fees will be spent. Colorado law mandates that students must allocate their fees for themselves, to provide whatever services they believe would enhance their educational experience. Yet, student fees become state funds the moment they hit the college coffers. Thus, this bill could potentially affect students, keeping them from bringing in lecturers or traveling to conferences which might have some political agenda - not my idea of student fee autonomy. With student control over their fees coming under attack all over the country, it is extremely important for students everywhere to stand up for our rights wherever we can. As for the upcoming vote on whether to retain membership in CSA, I would urge the students to find out what they're paying for before they throw it away. If you want to see CSA in action, come lo the Legislative Breakfast on Feb. 26 at 8 a.m. at the state capitol, and meet your legislators with us. Find out for yourselves what we're all about. State your views and have your voice heard! Get empowered! Then, when the CSA referendum comes up in April, cast your vote to stay empowered! After all, it's your money; let's make sure it stays that way.

Sometimes being a good teacher isn't good enough "Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre." - Gail Godwin The problem in education is the educators and the educrats. I know that one must have hurt at a school that prides itself on Kyle Ringo its teaching program, but I think UNCLE BALDY it's true for one simple reason. You could give former Metro professor Richard Chapman a chalkboard in a field in the rain and he would find a way to get 30 journalism students to write better than they ever had before while making them forget they were standing in a mud puddle in their new Nikes. Then there are other professors who couldn't teach third graders how to make a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich with the aid of an instructional video. Some people can teach. Others can't. There are too many others in classrooms right now. Need proof? Compare our students' scores to those of students in other parts of the world, and you will find we are being worked over like Mike Tyson's date. Chapman, a professor at Metro until 1996, is now the assistant editor at the city desk at the Denver Rocky Mountain News. He was recently promoted to the position, which is four or five steps from the top rung on the newspaper ladder in this town. But he wasn't good enough for Metro. A moron on the third floor of the Central Classroom Building said so. I don't mean to over simplify the situation. There are hundreds of factors that should be taken into account when evaluating success in education. Far too many to be discussed here. But I do know this. None of them are more important than allowing the best teachers to teach and the worst to search for other work. The problems begin on the first day of school when nervous parents leave their sobbing children in the care of a kindergarten teacher. Is he or she one of the good ones? It continues to the last semester of college. Far too much emphasis is put on whatever correlation there is between the amount of money spent on education and the achievements produced by the investment. It is dubious, to say the least, to expect that more money equals more A's and B's, and several studies have confirmed this. It is the common sense gained through the experiences of being in a Chapman-led class vs. How-to-make PB&J that brings me to this educated guess: A lack of money is an educrat's crutch when too many crucial decisions, like whether to keep Chapman around, are made wrongly. But money is usually only the first in a long line of defenses for educational impotency. The parents are blamed. The standards are said to be too high. Soon, those without a clue how to teach are squabbling like chickens in a barnyard with those who have tried and failed. Meanwhile, America becomes dumb.

if.ETTERS Student workers must earn respect Editor: I am writing this letter to respond to the column "Student workers should unite" that appeared Feb. 19. Throughout this column, Karmin Trujillo badmouthed her experiences as a student employee at the Student Activities office. I currently hold the same position that she held. It has been my experience at this office, as a student employee, that you get out of the job what you put into it. In my case, this job has given a great boost to my future. I have gained the ideas and experiences that have been a benefit to my professional growth. To my understanding, this is the point of work-study. As far as "putting the power in students' hands," we, as employees, have that power. The students spend several weeks planning what programs should be offered, and the administration guides us in our decisions. They do not make them or force us to make them. As with any job, there has to be a certain amount of trust placed within employees. After several times of betraying that trust, what can one expect but to be treated as a "glorified administrative assistant?" I do agree with Trujillo that students should demand respect. But before you can expect to gain the respect of your peers and your administrators, you have to give them respect also. Student workers should get a copy of their job descriptions and make sure they are doing what they were hired for. If you feel that it is not coinciding with what you are doing, then follow Trujillo's lead and quit, or be a professional and work out the differences.

Mike Edwards Event coordinator

Editor: I would like to respond to Kannin Trujillo's letter last week in which she states, "Thanks to Metro administrators, student workers are destined to work menial jobs." I have been a student employee of the Student Activities office for nearly two years, and I don ' t believe this is true. Speaking from my own experience, I have been allowed the freedom to grow, to flourish and even to fail. What others may call control, I have viewed as guidance and direction. Without this direct support and guidance, the COOL program would have never received the National Distinguished Service-Learning Award. Just because I am a student doesn' t mean I know the best way to do things. Let's face it - we would all Jove more autonomy, even those administrators. Unfortunately, the world doesn' t work that way. Part of being a student employee is being allowed to develop our own work style within the constraints of a conventional workplace. Yes, my job is at times menial. But so are the jobs of those administrators. These tedious things being done don' t care that I am a student. They are imponant things that still need to be done, even if I don't like having to do them. I have seen many, many students offered responsibility and fail to accept the challenge. I have personally been inconvenienced by students who don't come in when they are scheduled, don' t call when they will be late, and who don't do what others are counting on them to do. That any of us still receive the level of responsibility we do is remarkable. Yet many of us do. I know many exceptional student employees, from Student Publications to Admissions to Assessment to Financial Aid, who are among the most hard-working

and dedicated employees anywhere. Students are repeatedly given opportunities to make meaningful contributions to the campus community. In short, I would like to just say that any job is what you make it, even here on campus. Our experiences are uniquely our own and should not be construed to apply generally to others. What others have seen as a burden has been my greatest opportunity and joy.

Gayle Johnson Metro COOL Program

Editor: After reading Karmin Trujillo's column last week, I felt the need to speak about my experience as a student worker in the office of Student Activities. Overall, I believe that my student position as the student organization coordinator has been a challenging and rewarding learning experience. I genuinely respect and appreciate the advice and structure that I get from all the administrators. Their skills and experience helped me to learn and grow personally and professionally. Most importantly, I feel that the lines of communication between myself and administrators are clear and open. Even though they aren't always used, I've always felt that my ideas and opinions are listened to and respected. In my experience in the office of Student Activities, I have been asked, expected and encouraged to do both idea- and task-related duties. I consider all of these duties to be important and neither above nor beneath me. To me, they are are learning experiences and part of doing what is necessary to facilitate successful projects and programs.

hirty-nine exposed their 69, and one showed off her underwear. Auraria's Emmanuel Gallery opened a Metro student art exhibit Feb. 17 and featured 39 artists' work. The 69 pieces in the show varied in style and medium. From paints and ceramics to soiled underwear, the show featured an eclectic array of art. "I thought the underwear piece was very odd and puzzling," said Michael Johnson, curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum. Michael Johnson was one of three jurors who selected the pieces to be featured in the show and who would win awards. "I was drawn to it because it was sort of a casual and conceptual piece," he said. Katy Johnson, a Metro student, stretched worn underwear over three aluminum cake molds. This year's exhibit premiered the Malcolm Farley Student Award for Excellence in Art. Farley, a Metro alumnus, is a commercial artist in Denver. He graduated in 1982. Metro student Kari Johnson won the $400 award for her Seven Deadly Sins mixed-media piece. The piece consists of seven wooden boxes stacked vertically and stands about six feet. Each box is labeled with a sin and a corresponding photograph of the sinful activity inside the box. "The deadly sins aren't considered that deadly anymore," Kari Johnson said. She wanted to show that many everyday activities would have been considered sinful in the past. An image of a person watching television was labeled sloth. Kari Johnson said her Catholic background served as inspiration. Kari Johnson misspelled "avarice" on the bottom box of her piece and that almost cost her the award, said James McLellan, Metro Student Art Guild president and show organizer. 'The jurors noticed it, and it was a consideration in the judging," he said. "However, they decided her piece was strong enough despite the misspelling." Kari said she researched the word in a Christian book

and was llOL aware of the misspelling. "I guess I'll have to look it up," she said. Erin Faith Essin, a Metro student, won the Art Guild Best of Show Award for her sterling silver rings . The rings were a highlight of the show, said Mark Masuoka, director of the Emmanuel Gallery. Juror's awards went to Metro students Tony A. Diego, Ismael "Izzy" Lozano and Masataka Tanaka. Other jurors were Phil Bender, founder of an artist cooperative gallery, and Peggy Mangold, director of Artyard, a sculpture gallery. "I was impressed with some of the students' work, yet there was a lot of naive work that was submitted that we didn't accept," said Michael Johnson.

The show was open to all art disciplines; 201 entries were submitted, McLellan said. More than 200 people attended the show's opening Feb. 17. "The gallery was really crowded that night," said Masuoka. "Yet, despite the cramped quarters, everyone enjoyed themselves." Masuoka said there are many wonderful elements to the show because it exposes the talents of artists coming from Metro. The exhibit runs through March 3, admission is free. Call (303) 556-8337.

Courtay of The Country Dinner Playhouse

Mrs. Peacock (Deborah Persoff) and Mr. Boddy (Paul Dwyer) star in the Country Dinner Playhouse production

of Clue: The Musical.

emember the excitement you felt when playing board games with gimmicky mousetraps and "Pop-a-Matic Bubbles," or the power you felt when you owned hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place? Yeah, you really felt like you ruled the world then, didn't you? Well if games made you delusional, then a musical about board games won't help your out-of-touch reality. The Country Dinner Playhouse production of Clue: The Musical brings all of your favorite Clue characters to life - and then some. For those who don't remember (or for those without a Clue), Clue is Parker Brothers' whodunit board game. Clue comes in second only to Monopoly in world popularity, and the goal of the players is to guess the murderer, weapon and location of the crime, and each are preselected before the game. Unlike the game, however, Clue: The Musical offers its audience a plot. The musical begins with the presence of Mr. Boddy (Paul Dwyer), the wealthy and much-hated business tycoon who will become the musical's murder victim. Mr. Boddy asks three volunteers from the audience to randomly pick a killer, location and weapon for the evening's outcome. Then all the classic Clue characters are introduced, each coming with motives

Although you won't beg for soundtrack, the musical numbers are just enough to pull through the show. Everyday Devices performed by the suspects has great choreography as well as strong performances. Once A Widow performed by Mrs. Peacock is strong enough to catch your ear and sadistic enough to appeal to my girlfriend's sense of humor. Col. Mustard and Mr. Green were both bright spots in the cast. All characters seem to suffer from some form of psychosis, and these two are no different. Col. Mustard is an ex-war hero whose case of Unidentifius Idus (a postwar disease that causes one to mistake humans for inanimate objects) proves worthy of laughter as he mistakes Mrs. Peacock for a rake and the detective for a bulldozer. Mr. Green fumbles through cliches like "That's like looking for a needle in a backpack," and "If you think you're looking at a killer, then clean the wax out of your ears." The nostalgia of Clues 216 different possibilities will appeal to anybody with a love for the game, but don't get too caught up in the action, as the suspects themselves will tell you, "This is not Life Sorry." Clue: The Musical plays the playhouse through March 28. Call (303) 7991410.

Exhibit features Voodoo flags '•

By Nicola Grun

frican slaves in Haiti believed spirits were looking at them. During Voodoo ceremonies the spirits' presence were caught by the sparkle of handmade sequin flags. Metro's Center for the Visual Arts has an exhibit featuring artwork made from the brightly colored sequins. Voodoo temples contain flags that depict an image of one spirit on a solid background. Flags are vital to some Voodoo practices. "Homage Haitian," a large sequined flag on fabric, is the only political work created by artist Antoine Oleyant. Its central figure is the fighting rooster, Papa Loco, the protector against insanity. The red and blue rooster is surrounded by images of fruit, guns, a tire and the country's flag. Two black arms hold guns pointed at the rooster. Golden arms hold these black arms from harming Papa Loco. The tire is used as a symbol of oppression. Dambala is the deity symbolized by snakes slithering across the flag. He has spiritual power over all. The bull, Bosou, is depicted with a severed head and is standing firm over Haitian soil. The highest food offering one can make in Voodoo is the sacrifice of.a bull. Oleyant was born in Haiti and dreamed a beautiful woman visited him and told him how to make something that would Lake care of him for the rest of his life. In a series of dreams, she told him what materials to get and how to use them. "Beads are an association of the past. He is making a political statement," said Blackmun-Visona, a Metro art professor. "His spirituality is very apparent." Artist Tina Girouard created "Chalice for the Big Mango," a large flag depicting

four cracked wine goblets. The cracks in the glasses are an international symbol for fragility. Red and blue roosters are on the glasses, representing Papa Loco. When former Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide ran for office, he adopted the image of the rooster because he felt he could bring peace and sanity to the nation. "Coup Coops" is another of Girouard's flags. It is a large black flag with a yellow palm branch in the center. Two blue jail cages imprison Papa Loco. The palm branch is from the royal palm tree used on the Haitian flag throughout dictatorships. The caged rooster symbolizes democracy chained and locked in a cage. Girouard's flags are larger and more detailed than Oleyant's pieces. Oleyant uses bold contrasting colors and clear shapes. His figures are out of proportion, yet the pictures are balanced and symmetrical. Heads are shaped like those of aliens. "It was my hope that through a natural process, Antoine and I would both be open to sharing our ideas, techniques and cultures," said Girouard. Both artists' work centers on iconography, the symbol- ,. ism of subjects and signs used to convey important ideas of cultures and religions. Both artists' flags are brightly colored and create an effective display. Metro art student Paul Hardt said the display is unique and not typically seen in local museums and galleries. The exhibit' runs through March 24. The Metro Center' for the Visual Arts is at I 734 Wazee St. Admission is free to Metro students. Call (303) 294-5207.

Just a bump in the road Tigers no match as Roadrunners move into second round By Tom Vaskocil The Metropolitan

DeMarcos Anzures wanted to make his mark when the Metro men's basketball team hosted Fort Hays State in the first round of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament Feb. 23. The mark he made may be everlasting. Anzures, who already set a school record for the most three-point shots made in a career, added another school record to his accomplishments in a 84-65 Roadrunner win. Anzures had three steals in the game, giving him 200 for his career and making him the all-time leader al Metro. "I wanted to do that before the season was over," Anzures said. "IL was one of my goals, and I did it." Anzures broke the mark of 197 set by Adrian Hutt in 1989-91. He knew he was getting close because people around him kept him informed. But he didn't let it alter his playing style. "I really don't like to try and get steals," he said. "I just like to play hard and let good things happen." Anzures not only stole the ball from the Tigers, he did a lot more. He scored a game-high 27 points, had four assists and three rebounds. "Big players play at big moments," head coach Mike Dunlap said. "Certainly, he did that." Anzures started out the game with 14 points in the first half as Metro took a commanding 17-point lead. Anzures did much of the damage but it was where he scored that was a little different. Instead of bombing from outside, he was able to take the ball to the basket and had several layups. His teammates followed his lead as the Roadrunners pounded the ball inside. "That was by design, and the guys did a great job," Dunlap said. The inside domination by Metro wasn't more evident than in the first half. Metro held a 28-13 rebounding

The Roadrunners blew open the game midway through the first half by crashing the boards and crashing down on the Tigers. On one play, the Roadrunners had offensive rebounds by David Adler, Rashawn Fulcher, Jody Hollins and, finally, Adler, who made the basket. "We felt like we had the advantage in size," said Fulcher, who finished the game as the Roadrunners' top rebounder with 11. In the second half, Anzures once again took control. He began by stealing the ball and hitting a three-pointer to push the lead to 20 points. Though the Tigers tried to rally, they never cut the lead below single digits. Metro began to slow the pace of the game in the second half. They had the lead, the momentum and were in no hurry to shoot the ball.

''Time was in our favor," Dunlap said. "'They needed a ton of possessions, and we just wanted to quietly bring it home." Power forward Lee Barlow, despite being in foul trouble much of the game, added 14 points. Fulcher and John Bynum each had 11 points for Metro. The victory was important for several reasons. The win keeps Metro in the hunt for a conference title, but more importantly, gives them a good shot of continueing into the playoffs. 'This solidifies us for a great shot at the NCAAs, and that's what this whole thing is about," Dunlap said. The Roadrunners will face Nebraska-Kearney in the second round, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. at the Auraria Events Center.

Got the Tiger by the tail Convincing win over Fort Hays extends Metro's season By Jennifer Youngman The Metropolitan

Greg SimmoncWThe Metropolitan

Metro guard Sarah Coleman shoots a free throw during Metro's win over Fort Hays Feb. 23 on campus.

Although they would not admit it, the Metro women's basketball team dominated the Fort Hays State Tigers Feb. 23. By the time the Roadrunners hit the locker room after the first half they were ahead by 12 points. During the second half, the Tigers never got closer than nine points. With the 80-65 victory, Metro advanced to the second round of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Mile High Shootout. A loss to Fort Hayes State would have

put an end to the season for the Roadrunners, and each player knew what was on the line. They came out ready to play, head coach Mike Power said. "We were intense," Power said. "And full of energy." The last time the two teams met, Feb. 6, the Roadrunners couldn't get into gear. That night the Roadrunners won in the closing seconds at the Auraria Events Center, 84-83, when the Tigers missed free throws at the end of the game. The closeness of that game was partially due to a disappointing overtime loss to NebraskaKearney the night before, Power said.

. . . :. .....

'That Nebraska-Kearney game was draining," Power said. "It was hard to get into the game the next night." Another key to Metro's tournament victory was free-throw shooting. The Roadrunners made 22 of 27 from the line, while the Tigers made only six of nine free-throws. Junior Stephanie Allen was a perfect I 0 of 10 from the free-throw line. She made six straight in the last 1: 14 of the game to help secure the win. Fort Hays State fouled the Roadrunners continually for almost the last three minutes of the game. It's not

Home sweet home Roadrunners win four straight games to equal last season's start

r-.

By Chris Bryan The Metropolitan After dropping their season opener on the road to conference rival Regis University Feb. 17, the Metro baseball team came home to demolish the York State Panthers in a four-game sweep at Auraria Field. The Roadrunners, duplicating last season's start with their current 4-1 record, outscored the Panthers 34-7 in the series. In the first game of the home series Feb. 19, the Roadrunners used timely hitting and great pitching to earn their first win of the season, 7- I. Senior pitcher Kevin Watson ( 1-0) threw seven good innings, allowing only one run on 11 hits. Senior Jarrett Magdaleno came in to relieve Watson in the eighth, and pitched two scoreless innings to pick up his first save. "It was really windy out there and hard to keep my balance," Watson said. "As a pitcher you just have to adjust. Fortunately, everything seemed to be working for me. I was throwing good sliders and change-ups and the fastball came naturally. You just have to locate with the fastball." Junior outfielders Geno Ballardo and

Dana Reichers were the stars at the plate for the Roadrunners. Ballardo was 3-for-4 with two RBI and a double, and Reichers was 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. The following day, Feb. 20, Metro picked up where they left off, sweeping a double header from the Panthers. Once again, it was the Roadrunner pitchers who shone the brightest, shutting out the Panthers in both games, 5-0, 3-0. In the first game, junior pitcher Will Tavis used an overpowering fastball to tame the Panthers, giving up only two hits and striking out I I batters for the shutout. The Panthers threatened only once during the game. Zack Ayers led off the top of the fourth inning with a single and then two more Panthers reached on errors to load the bases with no outs. Tavis then got Loren Cruzada to hit into a double play and struck out John Galbadon to end the inning. "I had a good fastball, but everything felt good," Tavis said. "It really felt good to get out there and get back into a groove." Dan Hoyer shut down the Panthers in the eighth to secure the victory. Dana Reichers was once again the dif-

ference at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI. In the second game of the doubleheader, junior pitcher Corrigan Willis continued to show how strong Metro's pitch-

ing staff is by going the distance, giving up four hits and striking out four in a complete game shutout. Willis ( 1-0) threw only

76 pitches in the outing. "I was·gtad it was a nice day and the sun came out," Willis said. "Friday was so windy. My fastball was working really well, and I was able to jam a lot of guys. I really got a lot of defense behind me, and that really helps." Junior designated hitter Mike Henthorn had a good game at the plate, going 3-for-3 with one RBI. Senior second baseman Corey Linteo was 2-for-4. The Roadrunners completed the sweep Feb. 2I, destroying the Panthers 19-

6. The runs came early and often as the Roadrunners scored 11 runs in the first four innings. Henthorn led the way again, going 4-for-5 with three RBI, a walk and two runs scored. His teammates also !ended some support as I I different Roadrunners had hits in the game with Miika Autio, Geno Ballardo, John Gustafson, Jason Klatt, Dana Reichers and Josh Vickers each picking up two a piece. Autio had a homerun and a double for three RBI. Metro's starting pitching was once again overpowering. Starter Jacques Burgoyne (1-0) allowed only one unearned run and struck out IO in a six-inning performance. Reliever Jesse Norman came into the game in the eighth and pitched l 1/3 perfect innings to end the game. Metro is starting out the season with its bats swinging. The Roadrunners are batting .338 as a team after the first five games. Henthorn is leading the way with a .778 average. He is followed by Josh Vickers (.444), and Ballardo and Dana Reichers both are hitting .368. The Metro pitching staff is also getting off to a good start. The team's earned run average is only l .80. Metro is ranked No. 25 by Collegiate Baseball in the Division II preseason poll. Both Watson and Garibay were also honored as preseason All-Americans by Collegiate Baseball. The Roadrunners will host Doane College at l p.m. at Auraria Field Feb. 26. On Feb. 27-28, Metro will host Hastings College for back-to-back doubleheaders beginning at noon. This will be the first time in school history Metro has faced either of these schools in baseball. REGIS 6, METRO 2

Metro opened up the season with a loss to Regis Feb. 17. The Roadrunners led Regis 2-1 after six and a half innings but couldn't hold the lead. The Rangers scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth and never looked back. Senior Ariel Garibay got the loss for Metro although he gave up only one earned run. Junior Billy Wallace knocked in both runs for Metro.

Going both ways Roadrunners win with insideoutside game By Tom Viskocil The Metropolitan The idea was lo gel the ball inside. For the Metro men 's basketball team, il has been an objective from the very first day of practice. Once that was accomplished, the idea changed, opting for the outside shot. No matter what Metro tried against the Fort Hays Tigers, it worked. The result was a victory in the first round of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament, 84-65. The Roadrunners wasted no lime in laking the ball inside and the Tigers didn't have an answer. Metro had a 28-13 rebounding advantage in the first half, including nine offensive boards. Rashawn Fulcher and Lee Barlow both had six rebounds in the first half to set the pattern. Fulcher ended the game with a team-high 11 rebounds and also 11 points.

JaimeJartttt/The Metropolitan

Kane Oakley of Metro keeps the ball away from a Fort Hays defender during Metrro's win Feb. 23 at the Auraria Events Center.

"That was the emphasis from the coaches," Fulcher said. "Get second shots and crash the glass. If we have a size advantage, we must use it. That was the emphasis the whole week of practice and all season."

Once Fort Hays started to sag back, the Roadrunners started looking for the outside shot. That worked as well as they made six three-pointers in the game. "Our philosophy is inside-outside," Fulcher said.

Getting that sinking feeling Roadrunners nail down victory with accurate free throw shooting By Jennifer Youngman The Metropolitan For a fan, one of the most frustrating parts of basketball comes when victory for their team is inevitable and the other team doesn't realize it. It is when the final three minutes of a game seem to last for an eternity. The number of fouls committed by the trailing team in an attempt to make a comeback could carry the game beyond what's necessary. During the Metro victory on Feb. 23, the losing team, Fort Hays State, used such tactics in an attempt to stay in the game. The Tigers fouled the Roadrunners six times in the final two minutes of the game. However, this strategy failed to keep Fort Hays State from being eliminated from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Mile High Shootout as Metro was virtually perfect, making 11 of 12 free-throws . Thus, Fort Hays State's game plan did not bother Metro head coach Mike

Power one bit. "It's the team trying to get back in the game," Power said. "But they kept fouling one of the best (free-throw shooters) in the conference (junior guard Stephanie Allen)." Throughout the game Allen was a perfect 10 of IO from the line. Six of her free-throws came in the final I : 14 of the game to help send Metro to the second round of the RMAC tournament. Alone, Allen had more freethrow attempts than Fort Hays State. The Tigers made six of their nine attempts throughout the game. The Roadrunners made 22 of 27 in the victory. Free-throw shooting and balanced scoring were the keys to the Metro win. In the first round game Stephanie Allen of the RMAC tournament, the

Roadrunners had four double-digit scorers. Allen had 28 points, junior Sarah Coleman had 16 points, senior Shiloh Tiritas had 15 points, and senior Timmi-Jo Miller scored 14 points. The distribution of scoring against Fort Hays was attribut~ to good post shooting by many of the players. When Metro made the inside shots, it made it difficult for the Tigers to play defense against Metro's outside game. 'The post was opened up, and that gave us easy baskets inside," Allen said. On the other hand, Fort Hays State had only two players score in double digits. The Roadrunners' success in spreading out the scoring was something that the team has worked on all season. It is nothing new for them to have multiple players put up lots of points. Coleman leads the team averaging 14.3 points per game. Close behind her are Allen ar·d Miller, averaging 13.8 points and 13.6 points per game respectively. Metro is averaging 71.5 points a game this season.

frustrating for Metro when their opponent uses such tactics in the final minutes of a game, especially when they are fouling one of the best in the conference, Power said. The Tigers gave Metro the opportunities to seal the win and they had to make them pay, Power said. Allen scored a game-high total of 28 points in the victory. Power was glad to see his point guard's hard work pay off. "She's had a tough year," Power said. "She works hard, and she made it happen tonight. Hopefully it'll be her tournament to shine in." Allen was not the only doubleShiloh Tiritas digit scorer for the Roadrunners . Junior Sarah Coleman scored 16 points, senior Shiloh Tiritas scored 15 points and senior Timmi-Jo Miller scored 14 points.

Having multiple players scoring in double digits isn't new to Metro either. They consistently have three to four players scoring double digits in a game throughout the season. "We try to get everybody to score," Power said. "It is a conscious effort. Tonight was good because we were hitting on the inside and the outside. That makes it difficult to play defense (against us)." The players agreed that the scoring was well balanced in the victory over Fort Hays State. It is something they have strived for all year. 'The guards were shooting good outside," Tiritas said. "That opened up the inside for easy baskets." Tiritas earned her sixth double-double of the season with the victory. She pulled down 14 rebounds to go along with her 15 points. However, she started out slow, with only one point in the first half. Tiritas said she just didn't have the rhythm when the game started. "I knew what was on the line," she said. "I told myself to get it together and

play as good as I knew I could." Metro was out-rebounded by Fort Hays State, 41-39, which was discouraging to Power. "It was the only disappointing aspect of the game," Power said. "We gave up

'{Stephanie Allen) works hard, and she made it happen tonight.'

too many offensive rebounds, too many second and third shots. We need to give them one shot and that's it. We can' t afford to do that Friday against NebraskaKearney." The Roadrunners will face the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers on Feb. 26 at 1:30 p.m. in the Auraria Events Center. They have lost to the Lopers both times they have played this season, and their strategy for victory is no secret, Power said. "We have to stop (Darcy) Stracke," Power said. " Well, I don't know if we can stop her, but we have to contain her. If we do that we'll have a good chance to win." Stracke, the leading scorer forNebraska-Kearney, almost single-handedly beat the Roadrunners last time, scoring 30 points in an overtime win, with 26 points in the second half. Yet, Metro still believes that their control their own destiny. They are optimistic about the tournament play. " We're going all the way," Allen said with confidence.
