Al Gore moderates a question and answer session In North Classroom June 21, concerning the burgeoning Internet

Vice president visits campus supporting high tech jobs By Lisa Ann Opsahl 7be Metropolitan

Vice president Al Gore stopped at Auraria to discuss the economic opportunities in information technology and E-<:ommerce, focusing on the role higher education should have in the burgeoning industry. ''This is the place to get the right training and the right skills," Gore said, referring to Aurarla's three schools.

Gore said Colorado has the second highest rate of technology exports in the U.S. He referred to Colorado as the ''Wtred West" and "Silicone Mountain." Gore selected several Colorado business owners from the audience of 175 people to discuss their information technology businesses. Colton Alton, a Metro graduate with a bachelor's degree in history, senior account coordinator for eCollege.com, said he cannot find enough workers for his company. Alton said he could use

at least 30 more people for his staff. Gore said this is typical of the industry. He said 60 percent of businesses have open positions and not enough ~pie to fill them. The owner of Realemail.com said he also needs more workers and would pay an experienced person $120,000 to start at his company. Several audience members gasped in disbelief at the salary. Gore joked, asking if anyone in the audience would like to send in their resumes. Gore said the country could continue reap-

ing the financial benefits of information technology if more people worked in the industry. With a minimal amount of training, two semesters, a student with a bachelor's degree can find a job in the information technology field and earn 78 percent more than average salaries, a CUDenver profes.sor told the audiw ~.

Diversity fosters tolerance, panel said • Summit, from p.3 which occurred at Columbine, would probably not happen in their schools. Dreya Hyche, a student at George Washington high school, said there is violence in inner-city schools, but it was different from the violence at Columbine. "We have gang related violence at our school, and other things associated with living in the city. But I don't see the students at our school feeling as alienated as those kids at Columbine," Hyche said.

Many inner-city school students said being in a more diverse environment fostered tolerance. Students who attended inner-city schools said there is violence at their schools but it should not be concluded that all violence at schools stem from the same problems. "Cultural and racial diversity in our school makes students less likely to harass those who look or dress differently," said Elsa Banuelos, a student at Denver West High School. "It doesn't mean our schools are safe from violence, it's just you don't see that kind of persecution at West (High School in Denver)," Banuelos said.

. Jesse Martinez, who works with Street Beat, said communication was opening between members of the community but it was unfortunate it took the deaths of students in a predominately white area to bring youth violence into the spotlight. "This summit should have happened after all those shootings in schools several years ago," Martinez said, "but it wasn't the same issue until it happened at a suburban school." Dick Wadhams, Owens' press secretary, said the summit was planned well before the Columbine shootings and it only made the organizers move the date up to June.

More attention should be given to the schools • Gore, from p.1 U.S. because, "schools need computers " "We don't want to have a digital divide between rich and poor. We need to adapt our education ">ystems to use tc'(hriology," he said. 'The doors of higher education must be opt:n to anyone," Gore said. Gore said he felt educational changes did not have to be revolutionary, but more attention should be given to pre-schools and elementary schools Along with trnining the students, teachers need training too. Metro student, Will Spence, an undergraduate majoring in

technical communications, said he built a virtual reality program for the disabled. Spence, who is in a wheelchair, said technology isn't strictly an economic benefit, but it can be a tool. "With technology, you can go wherever you want," Spence said.

''The doors of education must be open to anyone" -A/ Gore, U.S. Vice President

Gore straddled the velvet rope that separated him from the audience and shook Spence's hand as the audience clapped wildly. Gore said 8 percent of the economy is supported by E-commerce, buying and selling over the Internet, but E-commerce makes up one third of the economic growth. To "stay ahead" in the global economy, 96 percent of Internet customers are from outside the U.S., Gore said the U.S. recently chose 10 countries to help "speed up" with technology. The countries chosen for the E-commerce initiative were Guatemala, Jamaica, Guiana, South Africa, Bulgaria, Egypt, Morocco, Guiana, Mozambique and Uganda.

Bounced checks short-change college employees By Micaela Duarte Tbe Metropolitan

Almost six months after Metro switched banks, some Metro employees where unable to cash their payroll checks. Metro switched banks to Bank One on Jan. 1, and the problem has been labeled as an electronic communication problem, said Tim Greene, associate vice president of Human Resources and Finance. The money shortage effected student employees the most, said Vice President of Administration and Finance, Joe Arcese. "The direct deposits were fine, but when people started cash-

ing the checks, and the money ran again," said Greene. "Both of us really do apologize for the out in the account, the checks inconvenience."

Former theater teacher to be director of new art center By Bernadette Baca Tbe Metropolitan

A director was named on May 28 for the Academic and Performing Arts Center, which is scheduled to open in Aug. 2000. Dr. Michael Bautista will begin his position July 1. Working with a multi-institutional advisory board, cooroinating

activities in the center, supervising staff, administering the scheduling and planning process and maintaining the facility, will be among his duties. Bautista served as the Administrative Director for the Denver school of the Arts ror the past eight years. He was also the director of the Jenks Performing Arts Center in Jenks, Okla. He

taught theater at the University or Tulsa, Tulsa Junior College, the University of Nebraska and Texas Tech University. The academic and Performing Arts Center will serve the performing arts programs and productions of Community College of Denver, Metro, and the University of Colorado at Denver.

Women who have a bachelor's degree statistically earn 88 percent more than women who don't, according to a study from the National Center for Education Statistics. The study found the median full-time income in 1996 for a white woman with a degree was $30,903 compared with $21,061 for a white woman with only a high school diploma or GED. Minority women with a bachelor's degree earned between $28,127 and $30,349, while those with only a high school education earned between $16,392 and $17,454, according to the study. "I think the increase has to do with more technology in the workplace," said Jodi Wetzel, Metro's women's studies director. "More women have had access to edu-

cation and are getting bachelor's degrees." Wetzel said women entering well-paying fields such as engineering could be a factor in overall increased income. 'There are a lot more women professionals than there were in the 1970s," she said. "It's real clear that women should go to college." The study, which was released in early June, also found men with a bachelor's degree earned 54 percent more than men who only completed high school. While the largest income increase was for women, the study found they statistically earned less than men. The median income for men with a bachelor's degree in 1996 was S38,306, while the median income for women with a bachelor's degree was S30,654. The study was formed using statistics from the Department of Commerce and the Census Burea.

Parking fee increase won't improve parking

Students who park on campus have begun voicing their disapproval of the fee increase that will take affect July 1. For the overcrowding and long lines into and out of the lots on campus, Auraria still has a better parking situation than most colleges. At Colorado State University, parking lots are overcrowded too and students and faculty have said that parking at Auraria is easier. The campus controls 5,876 parking spaces and has a population base of 32,000. That equals one parking space for every 4.9 people. For a commuter campus to have so few parking options seems counterproductive. Auraria is not adding additional spots with the money from the fee increase. The money will be used to repair and improve existing lots. For example, Lot Rwill have its booths moved to the south to

improve traffic flow - the cost, $150,000. Averbal agreement with Ascent, subject to change at any time, to use 500 to 800 parking spaces at the Pepsi Center has been negotiated. The rate to park in Ascent's lot will be the same as the price in lot D, which is $3.25. These spots will be available during peak hours, namely the daytime. At night, Ascent employees may park at Auraria lots for a reduced fee. Auraria has plans to purchase the land at Lot E, which is rented from Public Service Co. The price for the land is $1.9 million. If Public Service Co. sells Auraria the land, improvements like paving the lot

would be made. Atlas Metal owns land near campus on Fourth Street and the price of that land - $7 million. Parking Services released information that parking spaces cost $5,000 to $9,000 each. Aspace in a parking garage costs $12,000. Adding 5,000 more spaces would cost a minimum of $25 million. The three colleges on campus made budget cuts in their academic departments because funding from the Legislature was cut. There is no possibility of subsidizing the existing budget this year to add more parking spaces.

Auraria needs to acquire more funds for additional parking options, but until that happens, students will have to consider the benefits and problems of parking on campus. Waiting in line for up to an hour for the prime spots closer to central campus is not viable unless people live too far away to use alternate means of transporta· tion. It is the responsibility of students and board members alike to alleviate the congestion of the parking lots. More money is needed for additional spots and fewer students should use the lots.

last week to allow public schools to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms. This measure was intended to bring a sense of morality co public school students, which will supposedly curb youth violence. However, allowing the Ten Commandments to be hung in classrooms raises some difficult questions. I am in no way attacking religion. Practicing religion can be a rewarding experience, both on a personal level and for society in general. Bue we must be careful when we start endorsing the teachings of particular religions. It is no secret that the predominant religion in the United States is Christianity. But is this enough to justify promoting Christianity over other religions in classrooms? Even though the majority of Americans may be Christians, we need to always loo~ out for the rights of minorities. Public schools should be places where all tudents feel equally accepted. As noble as the teachings of the Ten Com andments may be, students who have not been raised in a reli-

gious environment may feel isolated. As we have seen in the past, it is this feeling of isolation that leads some youths to commit violent acts. If we promote the ideals of only one religion in the classroom, where will it stop? The First Amendment expressly forbids the establishment of a government-supported religion. But what impression are students going to get when they are forced to sit in a classroom and stare at the rules of Christianity? My guess is that they might chink Christianity is somehow more important than other religions. It doesn't take a history major to tell you what traditionally can happen when people of certain religions start feeling superior to people of other religions. Public schools should be concerned with teaching math, science, language skills and basic secular values such as respecting the rights of other people and their property and being honest. Public educational institutions should not touch an issue as personal and delicate as religion. Americans have enough trouble accepting all religions as equally important without the U.S. government continually endorsing Christianity above all other religions.

Hot fun in the Not far om camyus, there are yatios that feature ot bands, cool air, and tons of atmosyhere BUaranteed to jumystart your summer. .Âˇ By Amber Johnson Photos by Scott Smeltzer With the weather finally warming up, it's time to leave the stuffy air of the bars behind and migrate to the patios of Denver. Cool night air, chilled drinks, and of course, the best opportunity to people watch that you could possibly find. This month, I have found a few decks that are worth checking out, so break out your summer clothes and come hang out on the best decks in Denver.

O CHAMPION'S BREWING CO. - 1442 Larimer St., (303) 534-5444 - It's a Friday or Saturday night, and you decide that you want to head down to Larimer Street to check out the scene. There's no bet-

ter place to be right in the middle of things than Champion's, where you can check out all of the people who are hanging out downtown. You can also make fun of the people who think it's cool to drive down a crowded street, where there's a lot of foot traffic, with their stereo blasting and their chick tazer on "stun." Champion's features live, mostly acoustic music on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer, and attracts mostly people of legal drinking age, but also some families. Never boring, the drink specials are different every night, and from 5 to 7p.m. every night, the happy hour specials are $1.50 house microbrews, and half-price appetizers.

By the way, "patio best" does not mean black socks with shoes of any kind, especially not with sandals. Ok, there you have it, the best places to hang out during Colorado's awesome summer nights. So get your friends together and head out to the patios around town, and maybe you'll see me. I'll be the one who is there mostly for the peop l ewatching and various drinks.

Roadru_nner shortstop signs with San Diego Jason K/,att, Metro's shortstop, signed a free agent contract to play in the Padres Rookie League in Peoria, Ariz., realizing his dream to play professional baseball.

By Jennifer Youngman 1be Metrojjditan

Imagine having to listen to only two days of summer school lecture because by the third you've signed a contract to play major league baseball. Former Metro shortstop Jason Klatt doesn't have to imagine. Just days after the summer semester began, Klatt signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Padres to play in their Rookie League in Peoria, Ariz. "It was kind of spontaneous," Klatt said. "I was registered for summer school and I went to two classes down at Metro and on the third day the scout that signed me called me up and said, 'we have a spot open for you if you want to come play' and of course I said, 'yes'. He came right over to the house, I signed the contract right there and flew out the next day." When he arrived in AriZona co play for the Peoria Padres, Klatt realized a dream that seemed impossible after he wasn't drafted earlier this year. ''Before the draft there was a lot of calk chat I was going to go around round 30," Klatt said. "Then the draft came and left and nothing happened. It's a dream come true that I thought wasn't going to happen." Klatt is the eighth Roadrunner to realize the dream of playing profes.5ional baseball. In fact, he is the second player in as many years to move to the major league level. Last year, the Chicago Cubs drafted Metro's pitcher Leo Torres. The lefthander posted a 1-2 record and two saves in 1998 for the Class AWtlliamsport Cubs in Williamsport, Pa. Torres kept his ERA down to .92 with 36 strike outs during the season. Klatt, on the other hand, is just beginning co accrue major league statistics after being a member of the Roadrunners for the past two years. He sat out the 1998 season as a redshirt and came back in 1999 to be named a first team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference selection. Batting .366, he led the Roadrunners with 53 RBI. "Playing at Metro really helped me," Klatt said. It boosted my confidence with the kind of year I had." Before coming to Metro Klatt played at San Diego State in 1997 and Arizona Western in 1996. Not only does his previous ball playing in Arizona make Klatt feel right at home in the local ballparks, but so do memories from his childhood. "I used to come to this place when I was a kid," Klatt said. "Me and my dad would come and watch spring training and we'd watch the Padres. Then being out there, putting on a Padres uniform is such an experience." Klatt, 23, is experiencing wearing the Padres uniform later than many of the other Peoria players. The Rookie League's hottest

ication to the sport he loves. "I think perseverance through difficult times and just working hard," Klatt said, "I took a lot of ground balls and I hit a lot of baseballs in college and in high school. I think preparation probably got me this far."

Sc:olt Sawltml{lbe Metropolitan Ryan Boon, 9, member of the Alameda Werewolves works on his hitting technique at the Metro youth baseball camp held June 10. The camp, sponsored by the Roadrunners, drew 22 kids from the Denver area.

Metro baseball camp a 'big hit' Local kids come to the Auraria Fields to learn the game By Jennifer Youngman 7be Metroj)O/itan

They are the boys of summer. Under the warm summer sun, 22 eager eight to 12-year-olds filled the Auraria Fields June 7-10 to learn the nuances of America's pastime. They spent the days with Metro baseball coach Vince Porreca and the Metro assistant coaches, listening to a little lecture, going through countless hitting and fielding drills, and having a lot of fun. Porreca began the summer baseball camp seven years ago when he came to Metro to give back to the community and raise funds for the program. The camp addresses all aspects of the sport but emphasizes hitting, Porreca said. "Primarily most of our camp is a hitting camp," Porreco said, "because everybody wants to hit." The difficulty of mastering a perfect swing is another reason Porreca focuses the camp on the offensive side. "Hitting is such a difficult task," he said. "I think that they understand what they need to do and where they need to be at certain points in their swing is very important. It's not a team sport in the sense that it's not 10 guys hitting the same pitch. It's individual, so we try to structure it more cowards the individual and the technique of actually hitting."

The coaches' attention co each individual player is a key to che camp. Each player brings a different level of skill to the field, and the coaches must account for that. In batting practice, some kids need only to improve on che basics they have already learned. However, some are just beginning to learn the sport and need to be caught che fundamentals of hitting, Porreca said. It's that individual attention and the fun that Porreca brings to the camp that prompted John Baggett, coach of the Alameda Werewolves 9year-old baseball team, to encourage his team to attend the Metro summer camp. "We're very impressed with the way (Porreca) handles the kids," Baggett said. "He incorporates fun along with the skill drills that they do. The kids have to be here by 8 o'clock in the morning so that means getting them out of bed really early, but they do it very enthusiastically because he incorporates some wiffleball and some fun activities to go along with it." Being with the kids and watching them have fun while learning, is.exactly why Porreco puts on baseball camps. "Being able to see the improvement," Porreca said, "caking a kid that can not catch the ball or hit the ball and see that progression of . the fourth day and then seeing them with a smile on their face walking away from the camp, knowing they had a good time, that's what I'm in it for."

Metro head volleyball coach Jenelle Duvall named Todd Raasch as her assistant coach June 22. Raasch comes co the Roadrunner program with nine years of coaching experience from around the country. He began his career at Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa, where as a player, he earned the Collegiate Club Division II Mose Valuable Player award for leading his team to a victory in the 1991 Division II championship. He coached there for three years, two as the head junior varsity coach and one as the assistant men's coach. From 1992-1994 Raasch served as an assistant coach at Nebraska Kearney, a member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. He then coached ac che University of Nebraska as an assistant for one year before returning the Nebraska Kearney in 1996 for another three year stint.

Men's tennis honored Members of the Metro men's tennis team received some prestigious honors by che time the season was over. Coach Dan Lefevre was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Coach-of-the-Year. Lefevre coached the men's tennis team to a first place finish in the RMAC and a 17-8 recordÂˇ chis season. The RMAC honored sophomore Peter Lantz with Player-of-the-Year honors. Lantz finished with a 15-7 record in the No. 1 singles position.

Men's basketball in Disneyworld The Metro men's basketball team received an invitation co play in the annual Disney Division II Tip-Off Classic. The Roadrunners open tournament, taking place in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 12 against California (Pa.). There are six other teams playing in the Disney Tip-Off Classic including Charleston (W.
