ing, said Dean Wolf, executive vice president for administration at Auraria. Wolf said most of the reve:iue from the rate increase will go toward buying and paving the parking lot west of the parking garage on Walnut Street and 7th Street. The lot is owned by Public Service Company of Colorado.
The Auraria Board increased parking fees to S3.25 from S2.50 in some lots to pay for debts and parking lot improvements. "It's a necessary evil," said John Baker, a Student Advisory Committee for the Auraria Board representative, ''The fact is Auraria Board acknowledged that they failed to increase parking back seven/eight years ago. Last year and this year they are reacting to the realities of the economic C u r t situation." Wiedeman, The board gave parking lots closest to the Director of campus the highest increase.

"If the students knew the reasoning, they would be more supportive of it. They handled it very poorly." Darnell said she learned about the increase four days before the meeting. Other faculty members who attended the meeting had similar objections.

THE METROPOIJITAN STATE COLLEGE l!f DENVER
ATTENTION! Students, Faculty and Staff MSCD has approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet (Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.
APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan State College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitmenl to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not interfere with any other individual's intellectual inquiry and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas. Equally important is the individual's right-to-privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-to-privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy of 1974). This responsibility spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal and electronic communications and electronic data files. The Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code). APPROPRIATE USE To be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of institutional goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is true of administrative
information systems, academic computing resources, networlcing technologies and office automation. MSCD's computing resources are available to MSCD students, faculty and staff. For any other individual or organization to use MSCD's computing resources requires special written approval from the Associate Vice President of Information Technology. INAPPROPRIATE USE Any activity involving MSCD's computing facilities which knowingly interferes with someone else's academic freedom, the institution's goals or policies, examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to the following: - Attempting to gain access to personal information, computer accounts, or computing resources for which you are not authorized. - Not logging off from public terminals, thereby providing others access to computing resources for which they may not be authorized. - Damaging, altering or tampering with other's data contained within or transported by MSCD's computing facilities. - Violating the confidentiality of information associated with an individual or their research, or information associated with the college. - Any form of electronic eavesdropping, e.g., examining the contents of data packets transmitted on the campus network.
- Any form of haras.sing activity; Any activity which wastes either human or computing resources. -Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements and contracts. - Any commercial use for profit; - Use of an intercampus network such as Bitnet, Colorado Supernet or the Internet that violates their usage guidelines (see usage guidelines for these various networks). Many of these examples involve violations of law. For example, unauthorized access into someone's information stored on a computer system is a violation of that person's right to privacy and is a criminal act. RIGHTS Information Technology reserves the right to assist in determining inappropriate use. This may include, but is not limited to, examining the contents of data files or reports and system activity logs. RESULTS OF MISUSE Misuse of computing resources at MSCD may include suspension of computing privileges, referral to an appropriate authority on campus and referral to a law enforcement agency. Discipline action by the College may include suspension, expulsion and requirements to make final restitution. NOTES: Portions of this document were taken from similar Appropriate Use Statements from The University of Michigan and Washington State University.

Capitol Reporter a no go for spring semester Budget cuts farced administrators to eliminate the newspaper quickly and without warning to the journalism department. Students and facuity members created an ad hoc committee to find ways to get more funding. By Lisa Ann Opsahl 7be Metropo/ilan
...
A $1 million budget deficit eliminated funding for Metro-run newspaper the Capitol Reporter and cut several other college programs. The Capitol Reporter, a weekly newspaper that covered the Colorado Legislature, had been part of Metro's Journalism department for 10 years. ''We had an enrollment dip last year, so we lost tuition dollars, said Debbie Thomas, vice president of College Communications. ''We lost some state funding because our budget is based
on the number of students we have." Ten to 40 students worked as reporters, editors and designers and received three to 12 credits toward a journalism degree. The paper operated during spring semester when the legislature was in session. Editor Doug Bell said 15 students worked on the staff this year. Thomas said Metro President Sheila Kaplan and her cabinet felt the Capitol Reporter benefited too few students for its $130,000 yearly price tag. When Kaplan and her cabinet were creating ways to trim the budget The Capitol Reporter "tripped their radar," Thomas said.
"It was the only P.rogram that was eliminated," she said, explaining its removal looked harsher because other programs had reduced funding instead of being eliminated. Among the programs were the counseling center, which was moved into Health Services, because it had a surplus. Thomas said her department had Sl2,000 cut from its publication budget. Eight administration positions were eliminated; seven of which were vacant. Thomas said the eighth administrator was moved to another department. The Capitol Reporter's staff was shocked to hear about the paper was eliminated.
Straight shot
"I had just come back from a recruiting trip on the Western Slope and a lot of students were interested in coming to Metro to work at The Capitol Reporter next spring," Bell said. Bell said he had made plans for next year, including starting up a wire service for weekly papers. Reporter Lois Wymore, a junior, who worked at The Capitol Reporter this year; said an ad hoc committee of students and professors has been fonned to save the newspaper.

Metro back, no more 'The Met' By lmthiaz Hopkins 7be Metropolitan
Metro administrators have dropped a twoyear campaign to change Metro's image saying it never caught on. In 1997 the administrators decided Metro needed an identity makeover and creating a new nickname for the college; 'The Met' "Two years ago we were trying to have an identity and image change, and it never really caught on," said Debbie Thomas, assistant vice president of college communication. Thomas said people unfamiliar with Metro
assumed it was a community college and that students received a second-rate education. "Being called 'The Met' gave us an unclear image of who we were in Debbie Thomas the community. There was a mix of people who didn't like it, and the media never liked it," Thomas said. Students had an uproar when the name
was changed and never accepted the name completely. "I've been attending Metro for three semesters now and when I came in 'The Met' was already there. I've known it as Metro State, so the change won't really effect me," said Metro student Heath Johnson. "In the 13 years that I have been here, Metro State has been the name that I preferred," said Kari Tutwiler, associate director of student activities. "Metro gives a second chance to people who might have messed up the first time or the non-traditional students, and I have always

A 23-year-old Metro business major was shot to death at his Commerce City home May 17. Jason Alyn Trefuy's father found him shortly after 1 p.m. lying unconscious on the basement floor of their home at 21085 E. 118 Ave. Robert Trefny had just returned home and called paramedics who were unable to resuscitate the victim. . Trefny had placed a classified ad in the Denver Rocky Mountain News to sell a synthesizer, keyboard and sound mixing equipment. The equipment was missing from the house. Trefny's sister told police someone was coming over to look at the equipment that day. Adam's County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Mike Kerchevel said the shooting might be linked to the missing equipment. ''We don't know if (the equipment) was sold prior to his death or if his death is related to the missing equipment," he said. Trefny worked part time on the weekends as a DJ at Cosmo Lounge and Club, 1523 Market St. "He loved his music," Robert Trefny,Jason's father, said. Trefny was only a few credits away from getting his business degree. Police have no suspects. Anyone with information about the case can call Det. Larry Peterson at (303) 655-3618.

Wymore said the committee would like Metro to finance the paper for the next four years but with less funding. 'They could cut the funding by 50 percent for two years and then by 25 percent for two years, and by then we should have secured the money to keep it running without Metro's help," she said.
Wymore said the committee has had several ideas about how to get outside funding. ''We can turn this around and make it more beneficial than ever," she said.

7be MetropoliJan
Arecord number of students received college degrees from Metro on May 16. Some 1,151 students graduated, compared with 999 students in spring 1998. The youngest graduate was 16 years old and the oldest was 65 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the graduates were ethnic minorities, of these were Hispanic. Most of the degrees were awarded in criminal justice and criminology, followed by behavioral sciences, psychology, biology, and management.
By Micaela Duarte Anumber of students who plan to graduate in the summer of 1999 participated in the spring commencement ceremony although school officials had no estimate of the number. Names and honors of the summer graduates will be published in the fall 1999 commencement program. The Office of College Communications estimated the riumber of prospective summer graduates as 570 students. Several students said although they will graduate this summer they would not return for the fall commencement. "I could have walked in the spring but it
would be anti-climatic to go back to school. I could just come back in the fall to finish up but I'm going this summer so I can get out into the work force and start paying back my loans," said Rocky DeNileon, a Spanish major. Deborah Tananbaum, a biology major, said she was disappointed because although she could have walked in the spring ceremony, her 3.7 grade point average would not be recognized until the fall commencement. "I worked really hard but after I've been gone for six months, I doubt I'll want to come back for a ceremony."

Mexico, and the U.S. during the three-day event that was hosted by ETS at their campus in Montreal, Quebec. Wmning all but tv.:o of the ten events, ETS held on to their title for a second year in a row. Universidad Bonaterra from Mexico won the Trip Wire and Hill Climb events with their robot "Cosmo." Wmning these two events placed them in second with Washington State University's robot "Caliban" coming in a close
third. Now in its 13th year, the Walking Machine Decathlon(TM) competition provides engineering students with an opportunity to gain "hands on" design experience by building and testing their products against other students The Walking Machine Decathlon(TM) is one of eight annual student design competitions sponsored by SAE as part of the Collegiate Design Series.
An afternoon rain and hail storm May 20, flooded three doorways in the Tivoli and took half an hour to clean up. "Whenever it starts to rain, we go to the areas that have been problems in the past," said Dan Buckley, Tivoli building manager. Barb Weiske Mops, squeegees and wet vacuums were used to clean up the flooded areas around the doorways of the TIVoli, Buckley said. "We had barriers to keep people in a safe path," Buckley said. "In 1997 we installed back-flow valves, which helped us immensely," said Barb Weiske, director of campus auxiliaries. Astorm in Aug. 1997 left the TIVoli with thousands of dollars in damage, and prompted repairs to the drainage system. "There is a major drain system being made with the Pepsi Center and the new Performing Arts Center," Weiske said. The Tivoli did not incur any damage which could be recorded chis time said weiske, only wet carpets.

style education will be a huge mistake for the educational system and society as a whole. From my research, and in my opinion, online does not develop or cultivate anything physical, aesthetic or moral that will benefit either the student, instructors or society. Content learned is not education. Education is applying content with interpersonal communication that is learned in clas.srooms
by students and instructors. Look ba<lk to our history as a society you will not find one incident where some' thing learned without interpersonal relations developed into a moral learning experience. The most rewarding benefit of education is sharing what we learn with others in the clas.sroom

Foreign students can't afford another increase in tuition
INTERNET STAFF Simon Joshi
ADVERTISING STAFF Bernadette Baca Kim Fronapfel
When I started my first time in a college in the United States I found out that studying here was very interesting, however, tuition for international students is very high. It is four times more than American students' tuition fees. In-state students pay $1,173 and out-ofstate students pay $4,143 for 18 credit hours per semester. I heard that tuition would be increased again by 2-5 percent. This is a very high rate. I am very worried. Do the schools and the government think about students, especially international students, who wont' be able to pay tuition when it's increasing. I am an international student from Cambodia. I could not afford to come to school here if I didn't have sponsors. My parents work for the government in Cambodia. Their salaries are $20 a month. Although they knew that I wanted to come to study in the United States, they could not help me pay tuition at all. Fortunately, I found my current sponsors who were very kind to pay for my studies here. They paid more than $4,000 for my tuition per semester plus more than $800

for living expenses per month. My sponsors are working very hard to earn money. I can see and understand that their expenses for me have limits. They won't be able to pay for tuition if it increases too high. International students cannot work off-campus according to INS law. On campus jobs payvery low. I, as well as most international students, get paid $5.75 an hour. I know it's very hard for schools, especially public schools like Metro, not to increase tuition. However, I think it's not a good way to collect tho.5e funds by increasing tuition. Schools can get funds from the government and also from increasing a little bit of in-state tuition, especially American students, but not from increasing international students' tuition fees. At least the school should keep international students' tuition flat if it could not lower them. I strongly believe that schools should not increase tuition fees regardless of any reasons. i'also urge all the students to get up against tuition increasing. - Vida Vanchan

What's my
schools' name again? I was just getting used to The Met. Two years ago, in an effort to change the college's image, the administration decided to change the nickname to The Met. Now, according to the Sean Weaver administration, the idea never really caught on, so the nickname is now what the rest of the world has been using...Metro. It's a shame to see the administration give up on a hopeless advertising campaign. After all, the advertising firm the Integer Group, the same group who is responsible for the Boston Market advertising campaign, must have been on to something when they suggested the name change for Metro. I think the administration didn't carry the idea far enough. The Met was supposed to conjure up images of a swanky, hip urban college, which would attract new applicants. Not a bad idea. Who cares if the college ran the risk of students sending off application packets to the New York opera, or the college receiving stacks of fan mail for Snoopy. Being hip has its price. During the last 30 seconds I have thought of a few ideas, which might help the college improve its image. Llke the Integer group, I'm offering my ideas probono. In the spirit of shorter names, Metro President Sheila Kaplan needs to change her name to Met Pres SheKap on all official college communications. Let's face it. The name Sheila Kaplan conjures up images of stuffy university deans at Harvard. Met Pres SheKap, however, conjures up images of trendy rap stars. What high school student would not go to a college·where the president was a bomb rap star? Perhaps a couple sets at the Thursday gig series in the Tivoli would even boost Kaplan's, oops... SheKap's, ratings in the faculty senate. A second improvement would be to drop the "Summer is Cool" advertising campaign designed to boost enrollment. Summer offers a pretty difficult choice; shooting the rapids, climbing a fourteener, backyard cookouts or getting that English 102 class out of the way. An advertising campaign neros to be geared for Metro's large non-traditional student population. The campaign would be, "You Would Just Have To Pick Up Extra Shifts At Your Dead-End Job, So You Might As Well Take A Couple Classes." To gear the campaign to 18-year-old students, all the administration would need to do is add the word "Dude" to the end. Sean ~aver is a reporter at The Metropolitan. E-mail him at weavers@mscd.edu.

A line, a cwve, a space. The simplicity of of the late John Lennon's aiW..ork looks like single-framed comic strips. In his work Lennon draws himself as a caricature with wild hair, a large no.5e and granny glasses. Tho.5e who don't know Lennon's past might think his drawings are simply a rock star's attempt at art . .But his first love was art, and he trained at the Liverpool Art Institute from 1957-00 before the Beatles became the focus of his life. His artwork, like his music, is based in simplicity, yet they contain deeper more structured elements. Over 100 of his lithographs will be displayed at the Oxford Hotel, 1600 17th St., Denver. "Lennon's artwork connects with people on a personal level, a lot like his music did," Paul Jillson, curator of the exhibit, said. "It's simple, but emotional." Most of the drawings include the people in his life, especially his family. He originally created drawings of animals and celestial objects as a visual aid to help teach his son, Sean, to read. Lennon signed his drawings in Japanese. Artists in Asia sign their works with an individual stamp known as a chop. Lennon designed his own chop and sramped aJI his drawings with it, using red ink. His chop translated means, like a Qoud, Beautiful Sound. In 1969 he created a portfolio of his drawings called "Bag One." It depicted his wedding to Yoko Ono and their honeymoon. He gave her the book as a wedding present. In 1970 Lennon released "Bag One" as a lithograph series to be shown in art galleries
around the world. In many countries police confiscated the drawings from exhibits because their erotic content was considered to be obscene. Police mishandled several of the lithographs and destroyed them. Discouraged, Lennon didn't show his work in public again for many years. Ono began displaying the works again after Lennon's murder in New York in 1980. At one of the first showings, a gallery owner colored some of Lennon's works, telling Ono no one would buy them if they were in black and white. Ono was shocked that the gallery owner changed the pieces without consulter her. She later decided that if the drawings needed color, she should be the one to do it. The exhibit at the Oxford will have some Lennon originals, but primarily includes of hand-reproduced prints. ''When you walk through the display you get to know John Lennon. You see his humor - his sadness. It's like an autobiography of Lennon done with drawings," Jillsonm

McDermott fires two 'good employees' Metro's Athletic Director is looking to take the department in a new direction, eliminating one position and restructuring another. Changes made by McDermott have heightened tension among the department employees. By Jennifer Youngman 7be Metropditan
Metro Athletic Director Joan McDermott fired two department employees earlier this month. McDermott fired Larry McGill, marketing and promotions coordinator for athletics and a Metro employee for over 30 years, and RickJensen, the athletic department business manager. "It was my decision, as hard as it was," McDermott said. 'They're both very good employees, but it's important for us to take the department in a different direction and this is an opportunity to do that." McDermott called the firings a "restructuring" of the department. The marketing and promotions coordinator will become more focused on fund-raising. The coordinator will workcloseJywith alumni, McDermott said. McDermott will take on some of the business manager's workload, Joan McDennott including monitoring the budget. She expects official job titles and descriptions to be announced by the end of this week. ~

McGill said his firing came without warning. In a meeting on interviews that I would need to do." However, on May 12 McDermott changed her mind and asked May 4, the morning after Metro's athletic banquet, McDermott told him to leave, Jensen said. McDermott would not comment on why him that his position had been "eliminated," McGill said. "I guess they thought I wouldn't work the banquet if they fired she asked Jensen to leave the office. Metro's former women's basketball coach, Darryl Smith, who me first," McGill said. left the Roadrunners after eight winning seasons to take a job at McDermott said she knew the timing was bad. "There was no significance to the banquet," McDermott said. Wichita State University in June 1998, said he is worried about the environment of the department. "I felt horrible doing it then." "I am concerned about how people are Jensen, on the other hand, said he felt his days in the department were numbered being treated," Smith said. "They can fire whoever they want.

Why am I writing this column?
·•
Honestly, I'm just a sophomore that somehow worked her way into the sports editor position for this newspaper. In reality, I'm not sure how it happened, but it did. Frankly, I'm scared. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with this Jennifer Youngman job. For the next year 1 have to figure out what and who in the world of Metro sports is going to be covered. I'll be asking myself how much print the secondbest Division II basketball team deserves? How much will you be willing to read? And how will I ensure that other teams don't feel slighted by the coverage they receive? On March 12 The Metropolitan ran a letter to the editor by men's swimming team member Jess Schwartzkopf that criticized our coverage of his team. "I picked up the paper today to see the most pathetic coverage of our team I have ever seen," wrote Schwartzkopf. But maybe it's not just our coverage of the teams
that is lacking at this school. Trust me, in the year that I have been here, I have heard this said a thousand
times before. Still I think it's worth repeating. Student support at Metro games and events is nonexistent. Last fall I attended a volleyball game and the only vocal support for the Roadrunners came from the men's basketball team. The fans who lined the soccer fields at games were always friends and families of the players. However, when I traveled to Louisville, Ky., to cover the men's basketball team in the NCM Division II national championship, it was a different story. Over 4,000 Kentucky Wesleyan College fans traveled about 30 minutes, according to locals, to watch their team take home the national championship. There aren't even 4,000 students attending Kentucky Wesleyan College. . In a nutshell, I know I won't be able to please everybody. That's why I wrote this column, to convince myself that I don't have to lose any sleep over it. Yet, somehow I know I still will.

Former University Police ChiefJoy Rikala, who led the department during the years of alleged impropriety, could not be reached for comment. "I'm concerned how the University Police Department has been portrayed," Lt. Mike Listul said, who has worked with the campus police for 29 years. ''We certainly do not consult with anyone on how we should proceed with our cases." Lt. Steve Johnson, acting police chief, said athletes are not treated differently in police investigations, adding that it is difficult to determine which officers were involved in the alleged misconduct. "I would hope people would judge us on what we are doing now," he said. Most current police officers have been supportive of sexual assault victims, said University students Nikki Wright and Rebecca Dreke, who are also victim advocates for the Program Against Sexual Violence. Retired University Police Sgt. Joe May, who headed investigations from 1995 to last January, said he has never known an officer to downplay a sexual assault if the suspect was an athlete. Athletics officials often complained that the department was too aggressive in pursuing charges against athletes, May said. ''We got complaints from them that we were coming down heavier on them than we should have because they were athletes and because they were a minority group," he said. He noted that officers routinely called athletics officials if an athlete was under criminal investigation. "If it didn't jeopardize the investigation, I would call and tell them, 'Hey, you have a guy under investigation right now,"' he said. "And many times, that would result in this guy just all of a sudden being dismis.5ed (from the team)."
