Speaker, 路attendees shout it out Metro computers ready By l'tlcaelcl Duarte 1be MeJropolitan

Aspeaker's views on bilingual education, racial policies, and immigrants coming into America caused a negative response in the audience, Sept. 23 in the Tivoli Turnhalle. The speaker, Linda Chavez, said the nation's "melting pot'' no longer exists, but is now a "salad bowl". "The melting pot allows (people) to retain their own ethnic ideas, language, and culture, (but) now we are a salad bowl; (we have) no common language, (and) nothing rubs on anyone else," said Chavez. She said the American society has catered to those who are yet to learn English by providing them with voting ~allots in their native language, mostly Spanish. Also by

But she said the program fell short. She said the programs taught the students English but the teachers continued to speak Spanish to them when they should be talking and listening in English. "Learning English can't happen when listening to Spanish," Chavez said. She said the Denver Public School Board put a limit on how many years ~

.More parking spaces help, but not enough D NEWS: The Auraria Higher EducaHon Center board obtained 100 parking spaces for the campus in the Pepsi Center parking lot. D VIEWS: The new spaces will help

the parking congesHon; but AHEC would be better off focusing on its public transportaHon platforms; light rail, Eco Pass, and the bus pass. In early Oc~ober, when the Pepsi Center opens,

100 permit spaces will be available for students,

faculty and staff to use Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4p.m. Permits will sell for about $200 a semester, which is cheaper than the $230 cost of a permit for lots I, Eor A. It's great that AHEC hammered out this deal with Ascent, but users of the new lot will still be terrifically far off campus. It will take parking lot . users several minutes to walk from the Pepsi Center to campus. Depending on where drivers are going on campus, it could take as long as 30 minutes to get from the Pepsi Center lot to clas.s. People who park in the boonies and then walk to campus could easily use the time spent -walking from the parking lots, or waiting in line for a

parking spot closer to campus, to ride the bus. Depending on the bus route, it takes about an hour to get from the suburbs to downtown. Driving takes about half that time, but once on campus, parking eats up another half-hour. 路 Obviously it's not feasible for everyone to ride the bus. Some people stay on campus until late at night and can't ride the bus home. Some people need to get to work in the middle of the day and have to drive. People who don't have to drive should take advantage of their bus passes, which are their current semester student IDs. People who plan to never use their bus pass shouldn't look upon the bus pass as suhsidiiing something they'll never use.

If 10 people use their pass instead of driving, that's 10 extra parking spaces. The AHEC board is looking into buying more land surrounding campus and turning it into parking lots. The group is also planning on supporting additional light rail around campus, it supports the ECO Pass initiative and will endorse the KID bus pass vote when it comes up for dection in 2001. AHEC needs to focus on the public transportation i$ues rather than p~ing the land around campus. Buying the land and turning it into parking lots would be a multi-million dollar project. That money would be better spent on public transportation projects for students.

Republican tax cut good, press and president disagree Journalists of the national media should be called "repeaters" instead of reporters. The White House counts on the oft-repeated lie being more believable than any simple truth and practices propaganda in a style that would have been the envy of Stalin or even Hitler. Is it journalistic laziness or collusion? Bill Clinton has said that the Republican tax

cut is "huge" and "risky." The media continually repeats that "the American people would rather preseive Social Security or pay down the debt using the current tax surplus." In fact, the Republican tax cut lock-boxes the Social Security surplus and does indeed use some of the tax surplus to pay down the debt. Furthermore, only 25 percent of the non-SocialSecurity tax surplus would be used to provide this puny tax reduction. On the other hand, Bill

Clinton's "tax cut" proposals envision 81 new spending programs which would consume all the non-Social-Security tax surplus and SOME of the Social Security surplus while paying down NONE of the debt! Democrats will tell you that the Republican tax cut does not reduce taxes for nearly 40 percent of the American people. What they do not tell you is that nearly 40 percent of the American people pay no Federal income taxes,

now! Tax cuts are for taxpayers. Bill Ointon has vetoed a modest tax reform that ended an unfair (1 to 5 thousand per family) marriage penalty and reduced a confiscatory (up to 55 percent) death tax.

Thank you, American journalism. Roger W. Cain

Thus largest online class ever. The class, comprised of students from began our journey through the winding streets of Cologne, around the world, interacted through the Internet via discussion following the Caravan, hoping to interview their leader. The search for the Caravan had begun that morning, when groups and chats in order to study the actions and policies of the G-8. l also attended events that coincided with the Summit, organized by groups opposed to the policies of the G-8. These events were the alternative economic summi~ coordinated by non-governmental organiz.ations and held June 16-18, as well as various demonstrations held June 19 throughout the city. Also on June 19 and 20, I participated in online discussions with the students in the virtual classroom. I spent the first days in Cologne at the alternative economic summit recording audio of panel discussions for the online class. Topics included "Call Girls in the New World Order," Berlin "Change comes Bottom-Up," and so on. Backstage, I hooked my laptop to a DAT recorder via the sound board; using Real Producer software, I created audio files which I would edit later at the hotel and upload to the UCO G-8 web site for students around the Cologne world to access. On June 19, Dr. F.delstein, a professor from UCO, and I went out into the streets of Cologne in order to record audio interviews with participants in the demonstrations. These interviews would also be edited and placed on the UCO web site; a longer piece would debut later in the summer on Hemispheres, a Boulder public radio show. Our ultimate objective, however, was to find members of the InterContinental Caravan, a group of 500 farmers and activists from India who had traveled from their home country and throughout Europe to protest the policies of the G-8. That's how we ended up in the midst of a group of radical protesters on June 19, F.delstein and I attended various protests organized by Jubilee watching in di.5may as a bonfire was built in the street. The anarchists had begun to burn a "sculpture of the world 2000. Jubilee 200 is a global movement whose mission is to economy" in a shopping cart, while onlookers from various celebrate the millennium by having creditor countries (i.e. the Ggroups in the demonstration cheered them on.

"I don't think we ought to stay around too much longer," unions, religious groups, black organizations and the music F.delstein said to me as I took photos of the unruly mob of industry.

an embrace of humanity. People held hands, used noisemakers, beat on drums and broke into guerrilla theater in the streets. For about 20 minutes, the city was filled with noise, traffic slowed to a crawl, and Jubilee 2000 seemed to have the attention of the locals, though capturing the attention of the· G-8 was another matter. ~ did not meet up with the lnterContinental Caravan at any of the Jubilee 2000 events, but luckily we came acros.5 their cell phone number·among pamphlets we had been given. We called the number and were given directions to another demonstration being held on the other side of the city. When we arrived, we realized that we were among some of the more radical groups, such as the Socialist Solidarity Party, anarchists, and many other fringe movements. We were nervous when we arrived, as the demonstration was contained within a few city blocks by military police, and more police vans seemed to.be arriving by the minute. The previous day, the J18 (the June 18 Movement), a global anarchist network, had staged an international day of protest aimed at financial centers around the world. In London, the financial di.5trict was shut down when ravers, anarchists, punks and others involved with the group began a riot. That riot garnered a front-page story in The London Times, and now the German police were taking no chances. The J18 was also an organizer of the protest where we now hoped to find the lnterContinental Caravan. Indeed, it was where the farmers of the Caravan were, and where the final part of our journey through the city began. As we followed the Indian farmers to their hotel, F.delstein chatted with various members, and they pointed him toward a gray-bearded man in the front of the grouir according to them, he was the leader of the Caravan. He agreed to an interview with F.delstein. The Caravan had been traveling throughout Europe to confront people about the consequences of globaliz.ation. At the end of the interview, F.delstein asked the leader of the Caravan w~t he would like to say to those people in the U.S. who would hear the broadcast of the interview on public radio. The leader did not mince words; "Get civilized as soon as possible," he said. "Become civilized consumers so that we can have a more civilized planet." "Do you have any guidance for us about how to move in that direction?" F.delstein asked Again, the leader was direct: 'The [American] people should start learning how to live with nature without damaging it... that would be the most civilized way." After thanking the members of the Caravan for their candor and allowing us to talk with them, we returned to the press tent for the second in a series of online discussions with students separated by geography but not intellect. As we rode the subway back to the other side of the city, I wondered what I might say to people in the U.S. when they asked me about my adventures at the G-8 Summit. And then it came to me. This is what education is truly about; actually going out and learning by doing, rather than simply being lectured to in a classroom.

Roadrunners not on the road again ...for a while The women's soccer team starts an eight game homestand Oct. 1. against Mesa State By Nick Gamer 7be MetropoliJan

With the Metro women's soccer team struggling in their first nine games of the season, there would be no better place to get back on track then at home. For the next 20 days, that is where the Roadrunners (5-4-0, 2-20) will be. Metf9 hosts eight straight games on the Auraria Fields _ starting Oct. 1. The Roadrunners have put together a 3-2 home record this season, compared to"a remarkable 9-2 mark they set last year. There's something about playing at home that gives the Roadrunners an extra advantage. "I think that there is definitely an attitude change when we play at home," said senior forward/midfielder Kari Pierce. "This is where we practice and people are more comfortable here ... and we have our fans here. It's more of when teams come in here, it's like we are not going to be beat in our house. It just steps up the level of play." The homestand could possibly make or break the season for Metro as there are six conference teams coming to the Auraria Fields to play the ~---------~ Roadrunners.

The biggest games of the homestand will be at the beginning when Metro faces Mesa State and Fort Lewis.

In the other two games, the Roadrunners could only put up a 4-0 record as of Sept 27. Fort Lewis has won five in a row, three goals, while Mesa State scored nine goals of their own. . The thought of revenge would be ideal motivation for the Roadrunners, but Pierce doesn't see it that way.

,. Regis transfer making a big impact on women's soccer team By lrnlhiaz Hopkins

7be Metropolitan

Every superhero has a trusty sidekick. Senior Kari Pierce is the Metro women's soccer superhero and junior Janice Armstrong is her sidekick. , Armstrong, a striker, transferred to Metro two weeks before pre-season conditioning started this year. Armstrong was planning to take a year off from soccer until she ran into three Metro players at a summer tournament. They talked her into coming to Metro and playing with them. "I didn't feel comfortable at Regis, and I didn't like the experience there," Armstrong said. So, Armstrong decided to give Metro a try. "It was a spontaneous decision," she said. " I Jove it here. It's more of a college atmosphere." When Armstrong first came to Metro, she was supposed to play

â&#x20AC;˘ WOMEN'S SOCCER, from p. 17 Pierce leads the Roadrunners with six goals, six assists, and 18 points. The Roadrunners have lost two players to injuries, junior fuUbackJodie Roberts and junior midfielderJulie ?.anon. Zanon broke her arm in the game against Regis. She will not be able to play for at least six weeks. Before Zanon got hurt she posted five points and two goals. "Julie is truly self-motivated," Montejo said. Her motivation comes from wanting to earn her playing time. "I'm the type of player that works hard and tries to earn my position," ?.anon said. Zanon leads by example and tries to work 100 percent in every game and practice. Her hard work paid off before she was injured, Momojo said. "Julie can become an impact player; she has improved incredibly," he said. Her work ethic has rubbed off on her teammates as weU. "People see (Zanon) working hard and they want to do just as well," Roberts said. In games Zanon brings intangible qualities onto the field. "She picks up the momentum of the game, and keeps everyone positive," Roberts said. Zanon's teammates consider her a leader. Unfortunately for the Roadrunners she will have to lead from the bench for now.

-- - -- -

About halfway through the season the seniors on the Metro's sports teams are fulfilling their responsibilities. The men's and women's soccer teams and the volleyball team are led by a senior in almost every statistical category. Jared ?.anon, senior forward for the men's soccer team, leads the team in four offensive categories. ?.anon has five goals, two assists and 12 points. He also leads the Roadrunners w.ith two game winning goals. Senior Kari Pierce is the leader of the women's soccer team. Her 18 points, six goals and six assists are team highs at this point in the season. . In volleyball, seniors Chris Brink and Jacquelyn Peterson lead the Roadrunners with 147 and 140 kills respectively. Peterson also leads the team with 136 digs.

Slowly, but surely, Metro volleyball improving Fifteen games into the 1999 season, the Metro volleyball team is starting to come together. After starting the season 2-10, the Roadrunners have won two out of the last three. Those two victories were very important as they came against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference teams: Colorado School of Mines and Fort Hayes State. The Roadrunners are now 3-3 in the RMAC and fourth in the East Division.

October 5 Tivoli Turnhalle. KEYNOTE SPEAKER

JOAN E. BIREN Most frequently known as JEB

•

"Works of great power, and beauty, produced in the service of political vision" - this summarizes the theme of JEB's life and career. AND WHAT A LIFE IT HAS BEEN! In 1969,JEB began work in the Women's Liberation Movement. Subsequently, Joan and her partner came out as lesbians - no small feat in that time period. JEB began to live her political aspirations, in collaboration with Charlotte Bunch, Rita Mae Brown, and others, by forming a woman's collective called the Furies. In articulating a lesbian feminist philosophy, the Furies lived and worked together publishing a newspaper and pamphlets espousing a lesbian separatist perspective. Through the need to express her ideas in a way unique to the patriarch, JEB began to teach herself photography. Her work has thus documented lesbian and gay life through the personal rather than the public, gaining her recognition as a world-renowned documentary artist. "From her first serious photograph, taken because she had 'never seen a picture of two women kissing, and... wanted to see it', to her most recent video work, Biren has devoted her life to making invisible lives visible. Through her photography, she has battled the internalized homophobia of her primary audience, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people. However, she bas also furthered the cause of gay and lesbian rights by making gay people more visible." In conjunction with JEB's presentations, her latest three-part artwork entitled, "Too Queer" will be exhibited at various locations.
