Education departments to merge·

J)J__ Usa Ann Opsahl The Metropditan

In May the reading department merged with the Elementary

and Secondary Education departments. While academic administration champions the merger, stu~ents are concerned about the change. Reading minor, Betty York, has actively pursued moving the reading department back into a separate entity. York wrote several letters to Metro president Sheila Kaplan and president of The State Colleges in Colorado asking to reinstate the reading department as its own entity. She also lobbied Student Government Assembly to thold an open forum about the change. Student government mem· hers did meet with York and asrociate dean of education, Barbara Baker, but no action occurred. York said: "For several months many Reading Minor students have signed petitions protesting the disbanding of the Reading

Baker said the merger would help coordinate a necessary part· nership between Education and Reading. "I'm hoping the experience of the Education Department with literacy strategies will benefit the Reading Department," Baker said. Metro graduate Jessica Prather, an elementary school teacher, said her district's literacy goal is to have first graders spend a third of their day focused on literacy, and by the fifth grade that time will be increased to two thirds. "They aren't screwing around anymore. Literacy is the No. 1 focus," Prather said about her school. But Prather said she couldn't see how the merger of Education and Reading would benefit Metro students. She said the elementary education department didn't help her prepare for teaching, saying the program was inadequate.

Department. We have been told that the intent is to make the program better. However, we see Reading Department classes being closed and capped, and we believe the reading program is in fact being destroyed. When the need for a quality reading program has been front page news, we don't understand why Metro is insisting on disbanding this department." Vince Orlando, chair of the reading department, and Baker, said the merger would improve the reading department, not damage it. Colorado public schools are prioritizing literacy. Moving the Reading Department into the Education Department will bring the faculty of both into a "closer marriage," Baker saip. "Mo.5t reading minors are in Elementary F.ducation," Orlando said. 'The Reading Department was out on its own," Baker said. "Now it's not, that's the only difference. There will be no affect on the students. The reading minor will continue."

Private company opens $1 lot near campus By Micaela Duarte Tbe Me;ropolitan

Anew parking lot able to accommodate 80 cars will open on Aug. 23, charging a $1.00 entry fee. With the $1.00 fee customers will receive a one-time stay in the lot for up to 24 hours. "It's newer, nicer and much much I~ expensive," said the owner of the lot, Tun Sabus of Tim Sabus & Company. This lot is not operated by the Auraria Higher F.ducation Center like the other lots close to campus, but by an outside company. The property the lot sits on is being leased to Tim Sabus & Company from the Regional Transportation District. The new lot is located at 1408 west Colfax Ave., which is around the corner from AHEC parking Lots K and J. "You can't beat the price anywhere in downtown or on campus," Sabus said. The new lot does not have an attendant on duty, but a security guard who patrols the lots. To park in the lot one must place one dollar in the correI

"I am sure some people will use it," said Mark Gallager, director of parking services and transportatK>n services. "But we think we are in a good price range and we believe we provide services that come free that will help make up the difference." Gallager said the Motor Assistance Program, Handivan, NightRider service and the Hip Hop Shuttle, are features that set their lots apart form the new $1.00 lot. "It's all about locaoon, we don't have a lot of walkers on this campus," Gallager said

By Lisa Ann Opsahl 1be Metropolitan

Popular Tivoli worker, Dennis Bryan has won his initial appeal concerning his firing Dec. 11. · The initial ruling, July 28, ofAdministrative Law Judge Robert W. Thompson, was to reinstate Bryan with full back pay and service benefits. However, the Auraria Higher Education Center has appealed the judge's decision. Bryan was the programs and conference operations manager at the Tivoli, booking over 15,000 annual reservations for rooms from all three schools at the Dennis Bryan campus. He was fired after receiving several poor performance reviews from August 1997 to December 1998.. Tivoli Director, Baib Weiske wmte in her termination letter to Bryan that, "...your overall performance needs improvement...I am terminating your employment ..." According to the law Bryan should have been demoted, not fired, but at the time there were only entry level positions available for Bryan to fill. Jeff Stamper, assistant director of the Tivoli, said he cannot discus.s the Bryan case because it is under appeal. Bryan had been a Metro student and had worked for several years as a game room supervisor at the Tivoli since 1993. Two students resigned their posts at the Tivoli when they learned Bryan had been fired. Kerrie Dallman and Brooke Blanche!, both student employees of the Club Hub. Bryan's case has been in court Since March.

"The reading department helped me more chan anything." She said. "Elementary education just wasn't as accommodating." Prather said Metro's reading department is well known in the community. "I got my job through the reading department," she said. So did her husband Ames, a high school English teacher. "Schools aren't looking for English teachei:s, but when I tell employers I have a reading minor they immediately want me," he said. After reading the letter sent to students with a reading minor, Ames said, "This is just another monkey wrench thrown into the program," he said. Ames received his licensure in Secondary Education and said he couldn't understand why Secondary Education students would have to involve themselves with Elementary Education faculty. He explained the philosophies of the two departments were very different. Jessica said elementary school teachers can't apply their methods to middle school children. 'There was a woman who moved up

kids into little cubbies for them to read in. That didn't last long. You can't put a 13year-0ld in a cubby alone, you don't know what he'd do," she said. Orlando and Baker both said students and faculty are adapting to the change, but both knew the change would cause some concerns. "Change is difficult to accept, I understand it scares people," Baker said. The School of Professional Studies has merged several other departments over the pasl year. "Some departments merge better than others," Orlando said. Merging departments often brings the faculty closer and streamlines the departments, he explained. The decision to move the Reading Department into the Education Department came from the Dean's office. Baker said they began studying the possibility of a merger last year. The decision was made in May. Students were informed in July. Baker insists there will be no changes made in the Reading Department. York had speculated che department would no longer have a voice in Faculty Senate.

The conversion to the Year 2000-compliant Banner System has ushered in the successor to the cumbersome graduation agreements. Past Metro graduates were required to fill out a Graduatio!1 Agreement, preferably two years before one intended to graduate. The process is long and time consuming for deans, professors and students. The purpose of the Graduation Agreement was to confirm the student has met the requirements of the general studies of their planned major and minor. The signature of the Department Chair was required in all of the categories and it was recommended the graduate speak to the each Department Chair about the choices they made in preparation for graduation. Well, the Graduation Agreement is nearing extinction. The Curriculum Advising Program Planning, part of the Banner System, which is used on many college campuses, will be replacing the Graduation Agreement. Fall graduates will still have to use the Graduation Agreement system, but the CAPP system will be used for spring 2000 students. "It's more student-friendly," says JeffJohnson speaking about the new program. Johnson, who is associate registrar at the Office of the Registrar, is working with several others on the fmal adjustments on the CAPP system. The main reason the Graduation Agreement was changed to

Regarding your article on the controversy of the Ten Commandments in the clas.sroom, I really fail to see what the argument is about. Metro is, from all indications, an institution that teaches and in fact champions, diversity. In my opinion, it would be hypocritical if Metro didn't at lease have the Ten Commandments on the wall. Taking it one step further, I would refute Holly Hurst's comments that, "Religion does noc belong in schools." I think that as college students we are all ac an age where we can decide on whac is truth and whac is farce. If we as a society reject the Ten Commandments, then we are essentially saying that it is okay to have many gods including yourself, take God's name in vain, work on the Sunday, dishonor your parents, commit murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness and try to take your neighbors possessions. At what point are we teaching religion? Considering all things equal, are people who do any one of these things ready to be a certified "man of the cloth?" The answer is no. U: we truly are a school that teaches ~versity,

and not lip service, will it hurt to read the Ten Commandments through for five minutes and ponder? Professors often give me philosophical advice, a lot of which I end up discarding after careful examination. It boggles my mind that some people dogmatically stick to theories on behavior, the origin of the species, and chemistry. And we call them the authority because they have a Ph.D. They have simply mastered the application and research of somebody's theory. Don't get me wrong, some of these theories have actually proved to be quite useful. Time and time again it has been proven that upbringing, clas.s and education have meapt nothing in senseless acts of violence. We've spent millions of dollars trying to answer the question on the senseless killings of our time, when the answer might just be in a $10 Bible. -S. Reyes Metro student

Student's plan better than MSCD's OurViews 0 NEWS: Student Government Assembly President, Jennifer Darnell is trying to convince Metro administration to include voter registration forms in the course catalog to comply with the Higher Education Ad. 0 VIEWS: Administrators decided to place the forms in the Drug Use in the Workplace pamphlet. Darnell's idea is better. The Higher Education Act requires colleges to provide voter registration forms to its students. Including voter registration forms with student mailings is a good idea, but placing them in the Drug Use pamphlet will accomplish little. Students don't read the Drug Use pamphlets, which outlines Metro's policy on employee drug use, or if they do, they certainly don't keep the pamphlets for very long. It's not a very important document for students, and students are likely to ignore it - or forget they have it. It's difficult enough for students to register to vote. Registering to vote takes a special trip to the post office or Department of Motor Vehicles. Filling out the form included in the course catalog and mailing it, rather than making a special trip, would simplify the process. Students read, and more importantly, keep their catalogs, sometimes for months. Putting voter registration forms into the course catalog would make it easier for students to access the forms. Catalogs are available not only for students in the mail but on campus, too. Having the forms in the course catalog would benefit students immensely. When the catalogs are mailed, students have the forms in their home. When catalogs are stored on campus, students can pick them up anywhere. Student Services decided to put the forms in the pamphlet as a trial run, because the school has until next year to comply with the law. The Colorado Student Association spearheaded the project in Colorado. CSA recommended mailing out the forms with tuition bill mailings or with course catalogs. Darnell, who is a member of CSA, followed their guidelines, deciding to place the forms in the course catalog. Darnell had to persuade Student Services to change the decision. The director told Darnell she would need approval from the office of the Registrar to get the forms into the course catalog. If the office refuses, Darnell will appeal to president Sheila Kaplan. Darnell said she offered to recruit a staff to stuff the forms into the catalogs by hand if cost is an issue. She is willing to work that hard to implement her goal, students and administration need to support her.

Western Vernacular exhibit showcases 'installation art; by Colorado artists "

By Sean Weaver

路5TAt>lE

The current exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art/ Denver challenges the traditional concept of art. The show, Western Vernacular: Colorado Installations, features nine Colorado-based artists who specialize in combining several elements to create a multi-sensory environment. "Denver has not seen too much installation art," said museum President Sue Cannon. "There have been a few installation shows in the alternative art spaces, and we think they're wonderful, but this is a longer stay and more of a feature thing." Cannon said the museum's mission is to highlight new forms of art. Denver artist Sean Hughes, who curated the museum's exhibition, said "Installation art is a relatively new tradition in art that borrows from painting, sculpture, architecture, theater and film. Unless you take the time to explore the artwork and think about it, you are not going to get it. The artists are staging a scene and including the viewers as part of the art." The idea of installation an was first introduced in the 1960s by artists such as Claes Oldenburg, who created large sculptures of everyday objects. "There is a surprising number of installation artists in Colorado," Hughes said. The concepts behind the artwork in the museum's exhibition range from the conflict hidden within suburban America to the scientific exploration of human reproduction. "There's a high level of intelligence in the work," Hughes said. Lisa Stanley, who served as interim director at Auraria's Emanuel Gallery last year, created an installation titled Genetic Fetish for the museum exhibition. The installation consists of two videos projected on opposite walls in a small dark room. The first video, depicting microscopic organisms, is projected through white lingerie sandwiched in a large Plexiglas micro.scope slide. An eye, which glances across the room, is projected onto the opposite wall, giving th~ viewer ....-------------~ an uncomfortable sense of being watched. borTOWS "Installation art gives you a chance to create complex narratives and bring viewers into an environment" -Sean Hughes Stanley said. "I've II:xhibit Curator been working with is.sues about sci- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ence and new technologies for a number of years. I'm interested in looking at these subjects to critique them and expose certain things about them, especially the concept of objectivity in science.

of life and reducing the body to a code." John McEnroe explores suburban life with his installation Blue Funk in my American Home: Thoughts on Population QmJrol. In the installation, a large welcome doormat lies on the floor in front of a bug zapper. Vinyl house siding covers the walls surrounding the installation. Opposite the welcome mat, a large blue box, illuminated from the inside, hangs from the ceiling. The blue box draws the viewers attention and subtly compares humans with flies. "One of the things that reoccurs a lot in my work is reference to home life," McEnroe said. 'There's a suggestion of suburban angst in my work. That kind of sterile environment generates a kind of deviance. Smiley faces and nicely cut lawns are not all they're cracked up to be. My perspective is basically American white bread, no crust." McEnroe said he enjoys the freedom in creating installation art路 work. ''If I ever find myself consciously making art then all I'll eyer be doing is copying someone else or myself," he said. "It's every artist's job to redefine the field."

Athird installation explores the relationship of the human body to the outside world. Elizabeth Faulhaber covered a small room with paint and tape to create the feeling of being inside a body. ln the center of the room, she suspended wax figures filled with salt water, which drips down the thread, creating crystals. "It's a natural chemical and biological process manipulated by the artist," Hughes said. Faulhaber's installation utilizes one of the museum windows, which she covered with plastic to provide a diffused view of the outside world. "It's operating on simplicity," Hughes said. Other artists included in the exhibition are: David Brady, Charles Parson, Jeffery Richards, Burt Payne 3, Antonette Rosato, and Llnda Herritt, whose fabric installation Ierrilory is on display at the Emanud Gallery on campus.

Yes, it's that time of year again, a time when a young man's thoughts turn to love, and old men's thoughts turn to- sandals worn with black socks. This is an age-0ld problem that po.s.sibly dates back to the time of the Pilgrims. After meeting· and befriending the Native Americans around Plymouth Amber Johnson Rock, the Pilgrims adopted some of Fashion Police their food items as well as many other aspects of their culture. As pictures in history books have shown, the Pilgrims wore knee-length knickers with either black or white stockings and black leather shoes. Now this was a fine outfit for church meetings and !hanksgiving dinnner and other such social activities, but undoubtedly, the men must have wanted to kick back and relax at some point during their evenings at home. Which brings us to the inevitable advent ofsandals into the New World. Perhaps the Pilgrims saw the Native Americans running around with soft leather contraptions on their feet that looked so much less hot and constricting than the black leather shoes with the big heavy buckles, and so they adopted yet another idea from their new neighbors. But, though it was nice to be freed from the confinesof hard leather shoes (not unlike the feeling of being freed from the confines of persecution in England), Pilgrim modesty and their sense of propriety kept them from wearing the sandals alone. And so, along with religious freedom and the advent of democracy, one of the most horrible fashion disasters in the world was born. Now, the knee-length Pa!lts once worn by the Pilgrims have evolved over time, and are known today as "bermuda shorts." They have somehow taken on a life of their own by going from a nice navy_blue or black from the Plymouth Rock days, to many crazy and sometimes dizzying combinations of plaid and various other patrerns and colors. I'm not sure when this metamorpho.sis took place, but I am sure.the Native Americans had nothing to do with i~.. One po.s.sible explanation could be that with all of the drugs floating around in the 1960s, someone having a bad trip thought they'd go ahead and make themselves some groovy horts by dyeing perfectly good material in colors that no one in their right mind would put together in real life. I may have to research that theory further. The last part of this fashion mystery is how these two fashion nightmares, both so bad on their own, merged to become the ultimate in dad-wear. ~U, it's a known fact that many men are color blind, and so it's po.s.sible that they didn't know any better than to buy bermuda shorts. As for the black socks, perhaps when the men get home from work, they simply don't want to put on a different pair of socks to do yardwork or relax

in, but they've been looking forward to sandals all day. So in the tradition of the sometimes skewed logic that seperates men from women, the answer is clear: black socks and sandals. So if we attribute this fashion phenomenon ( I say phenomenon because somehow it has managed to defy all other fashion and transcend decades) to the Pilgrims, we must resign ourselves to the fact that black socks with sandals, as well as bermuda shorts, are not going to go away. Not only because they have survived this long, but also because many other things introduced by the Pilgrims are not going to go away either. Thanksgiving is still going strong, as well as religious freedom and democracy. I'm all for that, and so because l am grateful to those brave Pilgrims for many of their contributions, I will cut them some slack for the introduction of black socks with sandals. But I will still laugh at the people who wear them.

It was exciting to see a group of people interested in our youth and the issues of education. So many of ·our teens drop out at such a young age that they never manage to maximize their full potential. Ironically as our college Latinos graduate, our high school vatos drop out. The reasons are many, the solutions few. Many things have changed, there are definitely more Latinos in colleges everywhere, there are many organizations that are meeting the demands of the new urban "chuppies" (Chicano urban professionals), and yes, we now have better jobs.

Outdoor classrooms provide fun learning environment for Metro students Story and Photos by Rebecca Rivas The Metroj)Olitan

Fully coated in mud ...fully clothed... Erica Koch, a Metro stud~nt, never thought she would be swimming in a Jacuzzi-sized mud pit in college. However, when you stick 12 college students in the wilderness for three days, something crazy is going to happen, said Ashley Cohen, a Metro senior. Cohen and Koch were two of the students who coasted the river July 9-11 as a part of the Canoeing the Canyon geology course. One of seven field lectures offered by the geology department this summer, students traveled down the Colorado River from Fruita, Colorado, to Westwater, Utah. Along the way, the group viewed rocks as old as 1.5 billion years. The formations also depicted now colorful Colorado as a hot swampland full of dinosaurs. All of the courses used natural rock formations as the basis of the class, and the Metro professors involved believe that this is the ideal way to learn. James Cronobel, head of the Earth and Atmoshperic department, said, "When you get in the outdoors,

[students] will learn in five minutes what I'd been trying to explain for one hour in the classroom." Cronobel leads many expeditions, including Colorado Plateau and the Black Hills in South Dakota. Somewhere between the canoe races, water fights, campfire stories and hiking through the wilderness, the students learned more than they expected. "I think I learned just as much on the trip as I did in one semester, and I remembered more," said Koch. "You learn something about yourself and geology." Roughing it in the wilderness for one to five days earns up to three natural science credits for students. Before the journey day, students must attend one or two introductory classroom sessions. Some of the other geology adventures included: exploring the volcano tops and caves of the Black Hills in South Dakota, analyzing the history of the ancient oceans at Red Rocks, visiting the mountain ranges of the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, and examining land use and fossil beds of the Sand Hills Region in Nebraska.

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 "commitment 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 concemmg 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,

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:

-Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements and contracts. ' - Any commercial use for profit; - Use of an intercampus network such as Bitnet, Colorado Supemet 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 - 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 harassing activity; Any activity which wastes either human or computing resources.

networking technologies and office automation.

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 Jaw enforcement agency. Discipline action by the College may include suspension, expulsion and requirements to make final restitution.

• MUNOZ, from p.15 Turnhalle was abuzz on Friday night August 6th, as the anticipation built. The mostly Chicano audience, approximately two-hundred and fifty, enjoyed the witty humor ofIBI Centro/Su Teatro's, director Tony Garcia, who also teaches for the Department of Chicana/Chicano Studies at MSCD. Daniel, brother of now Hollywood famous director Luis, and Emiliano Valdez, who opened the evening for his father with his jazzy, blues originals tore it up! The strikingly handsome boy who played the pachuco teen in the stylized musical, along.5ide F.ciward James Olmos, has grown up. His radiant smile and sweet personality glowed amidst a beautiful mural painted by Daniel Lowenstein, a Denver artist. Even though the acoustics interfered, Daniel's gras.c;roots exuberance shone through. I particularly enjoyed his "Marihuana Boogie" and "La Bamba", two standing ovations later, he took the time to sign autographs and-talk to the crowd. The man rocked! Present were Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de AIZlan members ( I saw Marie de la Cruz and Paul D. Lopez, working hard, as alway5), National Association of Chicana/Chicano Studies members, as well as many of our Chicano leaders, such as Dr. Luis Torres, Chair of the Department of Chicana/Chicano Studies at Metropolitan State College of Denver, Dr. Paul Encinias, Director of Hispanic Student Services at UC-Denver, and of -course Corky Gom.alez, one of the original "4

For the second straight summer the Wichita State University Shock~rs have stolen a Roadrunner coach. Amy Bourcy, the assistant coach of the Metro women's basketball team, was hired Aug. 12 by WSU, a Division I school. She applied for the assistant .coaching position there in July after former Metro women's basketball coach Darryl Smith approached her about the job. Their previous relationship as player and coach made Bourcy his first choice, he said. "She was a great player at Metro," Smith said. "She didn't have a lot of talent, but I was impressed with her work ethic. She had qualities as a player that make great coaches." Metro's women's basketball coach, Mike Power, knows first hand that Bourcy·is a great coach. One of her gr<?ltest strengths is her ability to organize, he said. "She's great, the best I've ever seen at getting things organized and time management," Power said. Bourcy also exhibits great loyalty and dedication, really knows the game of basketball and relates to the players well, he said. "You want it in an assistant coach and she had it," Power said. Smith can also vouch for Bourcy's outstanding qualities. Ayear before Smith left the Roadrunners for WSU, the two coached together. Bourcy was a volunteer assistant coach under Smith during the 1997-98 season after she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design and he urged her to continue working with the program, he said. The following summer when Smith received the job at WSU in June, he asked Bourcy to come coach the Shockers with him, he said. It was Bourcy's creativity and leadership that made Smith want her at

!TALIA

However, last summer was not the right time for Bourcy and her husband to move. So she stayed at Metro, where she spent last season as a full-time assistant coach under Power. However, now is the time. "The timing couldn't have been bener," Bourcy said. "When people say, 'timing is everything' this is what they mean." The move to WSU will be a good financial move for Bourcy and her husband, not just because the cost of living is lower in Wichita. Like Smith, who received a more than $20,000 per year raise to run the Division I program at WSU, Bourcy will get a pay increase too. Her salary will almost double, she said. Yet, this change is not about the money, she said. "It's a good career move," Bourcy said. "I'd like to be my own coach someday and it's a lot easier for a DI assistant coach to get a head coaching job than a

Metro seeks new coach "Our gain is Metro's loss," he said. The Roadrunners have already started the search for someone to fill the void left by Bourcy. After narrowing the field of 40 applicants to four, three interviews have already been conducted, Power said. One more interview is scheduled for next week.
