Chase cuts through .campus By Lee Robinson Tbe Meiroj)O/ilan

•

Apolice chase took a path through Auraria campus on Monday ending with the investigation of several of the officers involved. On Monday August, 23 an undercover drug buy that went bad led to a police chase of two suspects through downtown Denver and ending just West of the Auraria campus. The KMGH-Channel 7 helicopter captured the chase and the apprehension of the two suspects involved on video. The video showed officers beating suspects as they emerged from their vehicle. Mayor Wellington Webb challenged the actions of several officers on Tuesday after he saw the tape. The police department will do an internal investigation into the actions of the officers and then submit their investigation to the district attorney's office, Webb said. Numerous viewers called Channel-7 as the footage aired and complained about what they thought was the use of excessive force in apprehending the suspects3 Metro criminal justice professor Walt Copely, said no one should jump to conclusions about police brutality, in a Denver Rocky Mountain News story on Wednesday. "I saw the video, and I didn't see anything in the video that was necessarily out of order. I can certainly understand the questions-we need to know the details. That's the whole idea of the accountability of the police to the public." Copely was quoted as saying in the

Denver Rocky Mountain News. The two suspects, Aguedo Merbin Garcia-Martinez and Eduardo Moras, appeared in U.S. District Court on Tuesday the 24th and were charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine. A third suspect and alleged drug seller, Daniel

Fall Fest; no music this time By Candace Escobar The Metropolitan

In order to get students, new and returning, to become a part of the campus community, the Student Activities Office at Metro puts on an annual festival called "Fall Fest." Unfortunately, the festival will have to be done without amplified music this fall. "Fall Fest is meant to encourage student involvement on campus. Unfortunately, administration on campus has seen need fit to make it as difficult as possible for us to involve students," said Event Programmer Adam Schechter who is in charge of the entertainment for Fall Fest. Schechter found out on August 20th, that the campus administration banned outside amplified music. Schechter said the music draws in students and without it, the festival won't be as appealing. The musical entertainment for the two day festival; was already set up and go, and then had to be cancelled at the last minute. On Wednesday, August 19, the Student Activities Office was told they are not aloud to have amplified music at the Fall Fest because of complaints from the surrounding buildings where the

amplified music is played, such as the Flagpole and North magician, and a fire-eater. The festival is held at the flagpole, the heart of the camClassroom bowl area. The decision came down from the Vice President of Student Services, who was not available for com- pus, and also holds a different theme every year. This year's theme is " Fall Into the ment. Zone". To fit the theme, the departments, Julie Rodrigue-z, the assistant director for Student Activities, said the student services, and so on will be placed "The music makes music makes for the whole experience in its specific zone. the whole "!fs definitely not just a Metro thing," because it makes you want to hang around.

am responding to t~e article, "Reading, Education departments to merge," in last week's Metropolitan. More specifically I am responding to the inaccuracy regarding Student Government Assembly's role in this issue. Quoting the article, "She [Betty York] also lobbied Student government members to hold an open forum about the change. Student government members did meet with York and associate dean of education, Barl:>ara Baker, but no action occurred." Besides being inaccurate, it is also a gross understatement. I resent the ~sumption that Student government did nothing. Action was taken but change did not occur. I was elected in April of 1999 to Student government as the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and I took office in May. The evaluation of the

Reading Department began over a year ago by the administration. The decision was finalized in May and is now being carried out this month. I worked directly with York this summer in an attempt to understand why this happened and to pos.sibly stop it. Student government reserved York a space and a table outside of the central classroom for her petition. Aprevious Student Government member and myself met with York and another student on a Saturday morning, and I have had numerous phone conversations with York regarding this issue. For most ofJuly, the Reading Department issue has been on the agenda for Student government meetings. Betty York never asked us to hold an open forum with Barbara Baker. York, Baker and another student came to the open forum at the beginning of our Student government meeting. The week before that, York alone presented her concerns about merging the Reading Department into the Education Department in

SGA's open forum. Open forums are held at the beginning of each SGA meeting. Anyone may speak and voice their opinions during the forums. The article sounds as though York asked Student government to do something and it failed to do it. · I feel SGA did as much as it could. This issue of merging departments without student input and participation is of great concern to the 1999-2000 Student government. Currently, the Engineering Department is beginning to be evaluated and that is where my energy is being directed. Metro Student government is eager and ready to represent Metro students. I know Metro students think critically about what they read and what they are told. Let's take responsibility for our education and be heard. - Taryn M. Broume

VP ofAcademic Affairs, SCA

Christianity, Ten Commandments religious failures The Ten Commandments should not be posted in classrooms because Christianity is a failed religion. . Christianity, like all religions, gives people a clear set of rules to live by, thus relieving them of the burden of thinking for themselves. It sanctifies and explains a world based on greed, oppression, power

and exploitation. All our doubts, fears and repressed desires are fuel for Christianity. There is no point in telling parents to "think for yourselves" or "take responsibility for your children," when they have suffered decades of being told that this is precisely what they are incapable of doing.

We are dealing with generations of parents and children whose whole religious education and upbringing has been training for incompetence. It is now time to put the doctrines of Christianity on the table for analysis and serious discussion. - john Cassella ofDenver

A red brick building with black and white striped awnings sits on a busy corner of campus, its windows like eyes watching hundreds of people pass by. The building has seen much and been much since its construction at the beginning of the century, but for the past few decades, it has been known as The Mercantile. What is now a popular restaurant on campus began in 1906 as a grocery store, owned and built by Albert and Belle Groussman. Their original business, located at 14th and Curtis Streets, was demolished when Denver's first convention c.enter was

built to host the Democratic Convention of 1908. The Groussmans decided to move the store to another piece of property they owned at 1069 Ninth St., where they had a two-story frame house. They had the house moved to the back of the lot to make room for the new Mercantile. The Mercantile was built by F.C. Eberley, the same architect who worked on the Tivoli. The detail of the brickwork and its red coloration are noted to be two of the hallmarks of American architecture. The Mercantile also features a traditional glass storefront, and globe finials on the parapeted roof. After Belle and Albert left in 1933, the Mercantile remained in the family until 1965.

It's not easy being the only returning starter on a team that finished 13th in the nation, won their conference and played in the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. This is the challenge that Metro senior outside hitter Chris Brink will have to face going into the 1999 season. Brink, captajn of the Roadrunner volleyball team, will be accompanied by six returners from the 1998 team. Those seven were part of 26 victories last season, including 17 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Along with the returners, there are five freshman and two junior college transfers. Although the team has not had much time to play together, Brink feels that they have come a long way since the start of two-a-

of a new season

days on Aug. 16. "We made great strides tonight," Brink said, referring to the 158, 15-12, 17-15, 17-15, 10-15 win in the annual alumni match Aug. 23. "It was the first match against someone else besides ourselves. It was different seeing the ball coming from other hitters and seeing other blockers blocking our attacks." In the alumni game, Brink turned in a good performance. She lead the Roadrunners with 12 kills (along with senior Jacquelyn Peterson), 10 defensive digs, one service ace and one assisted block. Brink, though, was not satisfied with her performance. "I felt rusty," she said. "It was good to play someone else. I was nervous; I don't really know why. " Her nerves and worries came to an end with the victory over the alumni. The Roadrunners hired a new coach this year after Joan McDermott stepped down as head volleyball coach at the end of the 1998 season to become athletic director at Metro. The new volleyball coach Jenelle Duvall, from Northern Ariwna, brings with her a new outlook, a new way to play the game and new philosophies. Although the coach and style have changed since last season, Brink says the team hasn't. "We all have the same outlook: a new team, new coaches, new system, and w~ had not played together," Brink said. "The team may have had more experience last year, but I can't say that this team doesn't (have any). I can't really say until after the Alaska trip." Metro will open the season playing in the Alaska Anchorage 5cGlt ~Metropolitan Tournament Aug. 26-28. Going into the first game of the tournament, the Roadrunners Patricia Dionne, left, and Chris Brink go up for a will have something missing that has traditionally been there block against Alumni Kelly Hanlon during the Metro Alumni match Aug. 23. The 1999 before: a power hitter. Roadrunners won the match four games to one. Brink says that the team is trying to get away from playing the type of power ball it played last year and instead, get into playing on points and hopefully, as the match goes on, break down the other the defensive. "We are not focusing on the power, but more on the defense team enough to where we can get the easy points. "We don't have the Kelly's (Hanlon), Amy's (Buchanan) or and blocking," Brink said. "We are going to focus on being more of a scrappy defensive team, making the other team work to get every Audra's (Llttou) on the team, but we can hold our own."

lhe other side of the net By tflCk Gamer Tbe MetropoliJan

For members of the current Metro volleyball team, the annual alumni game is just another match that they play every year before the start of a new season. But, for'alumni Roadrunner volleyball players that are invited to play, the match is more meaningful. For former Roadrunner outside hitter Audra Llttou it was like a window back to days when she was wearing her old Roadrunner jersey with the No. 3 on the back. Either smashing the ball between two Regis Ranger defenders, going up for a block against NebraskaKearney Lopers or diving for a dig against the Southern Colorado Thunderwolves. In her first year at Metro, Llttrou became the single season Jolll SrMtl1be Metropolitan leader in digs per game with a 4.57 average in 1997. In that same Former Roadrunner Audra Uttou goes up for-a year she set the individual single match record for digs with 40 block last season. Uttou played in her first alumni game Aug. 23 after spending 2 years as a against Nebraska-Kearney. She finished her career in 1998 as the alltime digs per game leader with an average of 4.2. Roadnnmer outside hitter.

Even though her final game with the Roadrunners was just last year, Llttou still felt nervous coming into the match. "It was scary and sad (playing on the alumni team)," Llttou said. "It was like I was getting old. I miss the competitive play. I know that I could go out and play competitive, but not like this." In the alumni match on Aug. 23, Llttou played in all five games. Returning to her old form with ease, she led the alumni with 21 digs, two aces and was tied with her former teammate Amy Buchanan with 16 kills. The statistics from the match may look as if she had never taken a break from playing. "The last time that I played was last week at open gym," Llttou said. "Before that, I had not played in four months." For someone that hadn't played in four month.5, she statistically outplayed most of the current players. Llttou had more kills than seniors Chris Brink and Jacquelyn Peterson, who lead the 1999 Roadrunners with 12 apiece. Littau also recorded more defensive digs than anyone on the court, including freshman Patricia Dionne, who had 18.
