The Metropolitan

Coming Out Day celebrated with handmade "closet" GLBT helps bring awareness of National Coming Out Month to Auraria Campus with activities By Teniqua Pope Thi Metropolitan

....

"We celebrated in the middle of campus to let people know we are here,"said Jennifer Gildner, Outreach coordinator. In addition路 to anti-Columbus Day demonstrations that took place on campus, Oct. 11 was also observed as National Coming Out Day for the gay and lesbian community. Symbolic emerge, a replica smeared with derogatory terms on the inside and adorned with encouraging affirmations externally, stood in the center of campus. Passersby were encouraged to write their own messages of hope and pride on the wall that asked, 'what does it feel like t~ take pride in your uniqueness?' /"' "[The closet] got people to look who wouldn't normally look," Gildner said. Pamphlets and 'coming out packets' were available at booths surrounding the do.Set. The packets contained literature from the American Psychological Association, answering questions like 'what is sexual orientation?' and 'can lesbians and gay men be good parents?' Lists of spiritual, support and political groups were also provided. The celebration came one day after the anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death which deeply affected people of varying lifestyles. "One women in particular, who was really affected by the anniversary of his death, couldn't believe that he was killed just for being gay," Gildner said of one of Passersby who stopped at the booth to express her sympathy. "We had several straight allies express their support, she said. National Coming Out Day was supported by Gay Lesbians Bisexual Trans Student Services at Auraria and several of the same ally organizations that also participated in the anti-Columbus Day protest. Despite the myriad of activities that took place concurrently, Gildner said that coming out celebration, with its universal theme, was well received. "It's a celebration of being who we are regardless of sexual orientation, race or religious background," she said.

.Cuban filmmaker documents fugitive By Lisa OpsaW TbeMetropolitan

Cuban ftlmmaker Gloria Rolando was so fascinated with the American revolutionary, and convicted killer, Joanne Chesimard she made a film about her. Rolando's documentary, Eyes of the Rainbow, which was shown at the Tivoli Tumhalle Oct. 11, is about African American tales of suffering and triumph. "In the struggle of the African American people, many women's voices in the past and the present have always called for social justice, women who throughout the years have shown integrity and firmness in their principles. For this reason, The Eyes of the

Rainbow is dedicated to all women who struggle for a better world," Rolando wrote about the film. Rolando has been making documentaries for 30 years, she said it is her passion. Rq_lando's most well known films explore the African connection to Cuba. Oggun: the Eternal Present is a recounting of the myths of the Yoruba gods Oggun and Oshun. My Footstep.s in Baragua explores the assimilation of British cultural patterns in Cuba with immigrants from diff~rent British Caribbean Islands. The film also shows native customs of immigrants through their songs and dances. Eyes of the Rainbow features interviews

with Chesimard who has been living in Cuba for almost 20 years. Chesimard was granted asylum there in 1986 after she fled the United States as an escaped convict, serving a life sentence for the murder of a New Jersey police officer. She has always maintained her innocence. like Rolando's other ftlrns, Eyes of the Rainbow also uses songs and dances to enhance the content. Chesimard explained in the film that when slaves were brought from Africa to Cuba they were allowed to keep much of their indigenous culture. ''There is such a huge African influence in

ignoring us," said Paul Lopez, University of Colorado at Denver student and Movimento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlian de Auraria member. ''They were demanding at that time the same thing we are demanding today, and that is the teaching of the history and contributions of ethnic minorities," said Dr. Luis Torres, Chairman of Chicano Studies from kindergarten to 12 grade. "Children need to Learn our history and its importance in today's society," Lopez said. Lopez and other protesters, bearing signs that read 'Columbus Discovered Genocide' and Stop Institutionalized Racism,' marched from the flagpole in the center of campus to the Colorado Department of Education building downtown. "We went down there to speak to the commissioner but they wouldn't let us all in," Lopez said. ''They sent their vultures out to give us the turnaround and keep busy." "There's a law on the books that states that the contributions and history of minorities shall, not should, shall be taught in all public Colorado schools," Lopez said. The protesters contested that the "absence of bilingual education, African American history and Native America history" is a product of institutionalized racism. "They love to teach about George Washington. What does he have to do with our history?" he said. Prior to the march, Mariachi Vasquez, a family of musicians, singers and dancers from Denver, performed bilingual renditions of 'Blue Moon' and 'La Bamba.' A spirited conga headed by the youngest of the family followed, winding through the audience and growing with each verse. The group Tialoc, the Movement of the Four Warrior Women and Cosmic Movement, three collective groups of Aztec dancers, dressed in traditional garb and provided both entertainment and focus for the observance. "We were not discovered," said one of the dancers. "Our people were here before this accident." Poet Joshua Bowles, a Metro freshmen studying modern languages, denouncing the celebration of Columbus Day in a poem he read entitled 1492. He also referred to a 'historical process designed to eradicate individuality.' "Today is the day of the races, to celebrate all people," Bowles said.

ltone. Soup's Robin Davies is avoiding the question. The diminutive Yorkshire, England, native is not someone who likes to talk aboyt his private life. Any prying questions about his past like, ".Where do you come from and who were you married to?"' will get you a terse look and a quick "What the hell? I thought this was about improv." But while sitting across from the man who looks like an aging British pop star, you don't know if he's serious or not. He gazes with pondering eyes that keep a person on edge, almost playing. They are eyes chat don't have time to be bothered with foolish questions about ex-wives and past cities of residence. They are eyes that are concerned with the moment. Davies, along with Stone Soup partners Daniel Horsey and Eric Mather, comprise one of Denver's newest improvisational groups. The group is the end result of a yearlong improvisational workshop. They bill themselves as performers of unscripted plays and have developed a style that they hope will set them apart from the rest of the Mile High City's improv comedy troupes. Stone Soup, which performs Sunday nights at the i Redshift Gallery on Larimer St., has been building up a , steady following since June with a mix of drama and 1comedy, all presented in a style that is not so easy to label. ) It is a style that is grounded more in traditional theater than typical improv, presenting an entirely improvised yet I co~plete play. And it is this style that makes Stone Soup so l umque. · Davies, Horsey and Mather started working together March when they met at the Bovine Metropolis improvisational workshop. They discovered they worked well toget'1er and Stone Soup was formed. By. June, they took their show to the public. Now, four months later, they sit· at a local coffeehouse near the Denver Center for the Performing Arts complex, discussing the direction their. group is going and where it has been. They wax philosophical about styles of improv, comedy, movies, and life in general. The name comes from the fable about the we2.ry traveler who concocted a pot of stone soup. "There's this traveler," Horsey said, leaning forward on the couch, taking over the conversation. He gesticulates as he speaks, his lanky body leaning into each word for emphasis. "He's hungry, tired. He's just trying to get home. He shows up at a village and he starts knocking on doors to get something to eat and everybody is turning him away, and he can't get anything. "So he finally resorts to going down to the village square. He takes off his pack and builds a little fire. Gets some water from the well; water to boil. He makes this big elaborate process out of it and so people in the square start to gather. ·~ct he reaches into his pack and with this long, elaborate display he pulls put a little package and unwraps it and takes out a little stone and sets it down in the pot and sits down and waits. ·~ct people are saying, 'What is he doing? What is that you are making?' And he says 'I'm making the best soup in the world. I'm making stone soup. You ought to have some; it is so amazingly good. But, as good as it is, the one

lt 0

thing that will make it a little bit better. Imagine if we had maybe some carrots.' '~d someone goes, 'Well, I've got some carrots.' And they run home-and chop up some carrots and bring them back. And he says 'You know the only other thing is that if we had just a ham bone or something, that tends to make stone soup.' And someone says, 'I've got a ham bone.' And they run home and bring the ham bone. ·~ct so they throw for all the ingredients. And after everyone contributes something, and it's boiled up and all ready, he serves up portions to everybody. And that stone soup is just the best soup in the entire world. And I think we like the concept of it, that it is created by everybody- by us and by the audience." Horsey smiles and sits back, satisfied with the story he has just told. If the concept of stone soup is about a contribution of a little bit of everything, then its members fit right in. Davies studied drama in Paris and London for 10 years. While in Paris he met an American girl from Denver. They fell in love, married and came to Colorado. They have since divorced. Horsey, who has a background in mime and used to be a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News in the 1970s, will be returning to Metropolitan State College of Denver this spring to pursue a degree in individualized study with an emphasis in theater for social change.

short, funny scenes, Stone Soup takes it much further. The show begins with a one-word suggestion from an audience member. It could be any word like "family" or "euphemism." It is a word that will set the mood or theme of the performance. The first half of the performance is made up of three separate monologues. There are no rules. Whoever jumps in first and runs with it gets things going. The other two walk on and add to the scene as they see fit. When all is said and done, they have presented a complete play. "The first half is not really a play," Horsey said. "We knew it was a bunch of monologues and we knew they were going to interconnect and interrelate, but it didn't have much of a plot. It was more of a portrait of three people. "The second half is the challenging thing we've been working on for months, which is to try and do a real play. Because you can have the storyline, characters, developments, subtext, all those dramatic turns. And that's the tough one." Although Davies and Horsey say they don't like comedy and are trying to attract a 'serious' theater crowd, much of what they do onstage is funny. Maybe not raunchy, Kids-in-the-Hall-type funny, but a dark funny. An uneasy funny. The kind of funny that makes the skin prickle and the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. It is the kind of funny that illustrates human nature at its most desperate and makes you go, 'Yeah, that kind of stuff could happen to me. I could do that.' And you laugh, not quite knowing if it is appropriate. But you laugh just the "Actors are same. frightened of what we "I remember several times," Horsey said, "scenes in rehearsal and onstage that when it's over you kind of go, do, and improvisers 'God, what was that?' Eric and I have had a couple of really are frightened of chilling scenes-talk about a dark side. You find chis just evil bastard inside you and go, 'No! Where did that come what actors do.'' from?"' Others have noticed this dark side too. Bradley Ryan, a comedian with The Universal Sign of - Robin Davies, Confusion, a rival improv group, said that what separates Improviser Davies and his troupe from· other improv players is that they are actors. "They are a little strange. I'll give them that," Ryan said. "We're just funny dudes. We're not actors. We're the funny Mather teaches math at Conifer High School. guys at the office." And while they say that if it wasn't for the group they Being a little strange doesn't seem to bother the would never hang out together, it is this diversity, they add, members of Stone Soup. Davies said he studies people all the time for new and that makes what they do work so well. · Davies and Horsey are the intense, edgy ones- the strange inspirations. And he admits that he is more oldest. They say they are somewhere in their 30s or 40s. comfortable playing darker characters then happy ones. But don't ask him to elaborate on it. Talking about it The characters they play are desperate, serious, and at times menacing. It is the red-headed Mather, however, who makes him uncomfortable. brings a physical, comedic element to the group. What he will talk about, though, it what he wants "It keeps the process alive," Mather said, joining in the Stone Soup to become. It is not fame and fortune, he said, conversation. "I just love comedy. My biggest heroes are that he is trying to obtain. guys like Andy Kaufman, Steve Martin, Robin Williams. "You know what I want to be?" Davies said.

Kari Pierce rocks the Roadrunners .. By Sean Weaver 1be Metropolitan

;

Kari Pierce stood in the corner of Metro's Athletic Treatment Center bouncing a tennis ball. The room was quiet except for a small radio muted by the constant hum of a ventilation fan. Aclock on an otherwise bare cinderblock wall read 2:30 p.m. In one hour, Metro's women's soccer team would be on the Auraria Fields taking on Colorado Christian College. If Pierce, a forward and midfielder for the team, was nervous, she didn't show it. "This toe got stomped on a couple times," she told Paul Troyer, Metro's head trainer; while he was wrapping her foot to protect her Achilles tendon. "It could be broken," he said in a voice that made him sound like a small-town barber: "How does it feel when you run on it?" Pierce's calmness betrayed the importance of the game they were about ready to play. Metro lost to Colorado Christian 1-0 Sept. 8, and needed to win this game to have a chance to make it to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament. It is a goal Pierce would like to see come true this year, her last year at Metro. "I've been playing soccer since I was four, and lately I've been playing every day," said 21-year-old Pierce. "It's weird to think it's_coming to an end." Outside the treatment center, Pierce's teammates sat with their dark blue Adidas sports bags scattered around the hallway. "I think the team looks co me to score or pass the ball to someone who has a chance at a better shot," she said. "It's an attitude we have when we are on the

field. We all work together." When Pierce.was a junior, she received the RMAC Player-ofthe-Year award. In her soccer career at Metro, she has scored 24 goals and has assisted 13 times for 61 points. She is fourth on the Roadrunners' all-time career goals and total points. Pierce is following her family's sports tradition. Her father played football in high school and her mother was in gymnastics in high school. "I came from a family of eight kids, and they all " played soccer," she said. "We had soccer tournaments in the front yard." Two of Pierce's sisters, Jenny and Katie, also played on Metro's 1拢 soccer team. ~ While her older brothers and sisters influenced her, she is inspired by her younger adopted sister, Lori, who is blind \ ~ and runs on her high school cross ~ country team. \ "l think she looks up to me," Pierce said. As Pierce joined her teammates in walking to the field, she let some apprehension show through. "Colorado Christian always starts off each game with a prayer," she said. "Once they start playing, though, they are the meanest

.,.

team." Pierce's coach Ed Montojo will be sad to see Pierce leave the team.

路.Freshman goalkeeper makes his mark at Metro By .lelaifer Youngman 1be Metropdilan

.. _

When Metro's newest goalkeeper for the men's team started playing in.the net nine years ago, it wasn't by choice. "I was forced," said freshman goalkeeper Eric Butler. "I was the biggest one on my team and my coach made me be the goalie." But eventually Butler learned to like the po.5ition and the ups and downs playing goalkeeper brings. "I like it a lot," Butler said. "It's fun and in wins, if they don't score it looks good for me. But if they do, then it's my fault." Butler, who prepares for a game by listening to punk music, has been looking good in his first year with the Roadrunners. He has po.5ted four shut-outs in his 7-4 record. Overall, Metro is 7-5, with four Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference wins. One of those conference, which was a Butler ~hut-out, was against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Sept. 1. Butler said the 2-0 victory was one of his toughest games this year. 'They had a lot of shots and I had to make a lot of saves," he said. The CU-Colorado Springs game can only be the first of many tough games ahead for the 18-year-old goalkeeper, whom coach Brian Crookham sees as a key to the Roadrunner's future. "If he continues to work hard, he's going to be a very good goalkeeper for us," Crookham said. Already he's improved his athletic ability, Crookham said. "He had a rough pre-season," he said. "I don't know if he didn't expect us to put him through what we did at the beginning or what, but physically he struggled. As he's become fit, he's really picked up his

play." Butler has improved his game, but it's not like he wasn't expected to do well when he came to Metro. "We brought him here knowing that he had the potential to play and play this well," Crookham said. "We didn't expect him to start nine out of every 10 games, but it's worked out well for us." Butler, who has played 1,040 minutes of the Roadrunner's total 1,085, aspired to see that much playing time when he came_ to Metro. "I hoped to play this much," he said. "I thought I had a good chance to play this much, so I'm really excited." Butler's improved fitness level, ability to read the game well and blend into the Roadrunner's style of play are the strengths that keep him in the game, Crookham said. But, if Butler has any weaknesses, it's because of his youth, Crookham said. "He's still a freshman," Crookham said. "He's got to do a little better at reading some situations, but he's doing a really good job. He's learning quickly what it takes to play at this level." Butler is also quickly racking up Metro statistics. He's only three shut-outs shy of former Roadrunner Mike Najar's record of seven in one season set in 1990. He only needs one more shut-out to make the top five all-time list for the Roadrunners. He's also earning honors in his first year at Metro. Last week Butler was named RMAC defensive Player-of-the-Week, but it's not that big of a deal to him. "It's good and I'm proud, but I'm not going to let it go to my head," Butler said.

Armstrong RMAC Player-of-the-Week

October 8 For the second week in a row, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference named a Metro soccer player Player-of-the-Week. However, this time it's a Roadrunner from the women's soccer team, not the men's. Junior Janice Armstrong was named the RMAC Player-of-the-Week for her outstanding contributions to Metro's offense. After the game against Colorado Christian Oct. 13, in which Armstrong scored two goals, she took the lead in goals this season (9). Before the game she was tied with Senior Kari Pierce with seven goals. Armstrong also has one assist this season. Last week, men's soccer goalie Eric Butler was named RMAC Player-Of-the-Week.

Men's basketball ranked No. 1 again Jn September, the Metro men's basketball team was ranked No. 1 by the college basketball magazine Preview Sports. They've received the honor again, this time from the NCAA. The NCAA Division II ranked the Roadrunners, who finished second last year, No. 1 in its preseason poll. All five of the Roadruooers' starters return this season, but the team who beat Metro in the championship game, Kentucky Wesleyan, lost all five of theirs. The NCAA ranked the Panthers No. 10 in the poll. The Roadrunners open the season in Orlando, Fla., in the Disney Classic Nov. 12 against California (Pa.).

Rugby is one of Metro's most violent sports, yet there is a camaraderie that builds between opposing players and teams. The game is very physical and the players do not wear any pads. However, the team only loses about one person a semester with severe injuries, said team coach Howard Kent. David Joecks is a junior at Me\ro that has been playing rugby for two years. One of the reasons he said people play rugby is the friendship that it builds, both within the team and with the opponents. There are parties after the games with the opposing teams and there is a "pub crawl" with the team from University of Northern Colorado. Devin Jae.obs, a freshman at Metro, played rugby for four years in high school. He likes rugby because "it's like violent chess out there." Jacobs said the game "challenges you as a person.. .It tests your speed, your emotions, endurance and your mind." The fact that the game never stops in rugby was another reason some of the players liked the sport. The game is not widely known outside Europe, and contains traits

from both American football and soccer. Play is constant for two 40minute halves and only stops for injuries. There are 25 players on the Metro team but, due to class and job schedules, the practices are small. The team starts the fall season with an annual trip to Canada to compete in the SNAFU tournament, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Rugby is not a NCM sport, but rather is run through the USA Rugby Football Union. Metro Rugby is currently 4-0 in their division, after beating the Colorado School of Mines last Saturday 50-15. Metro lost one game to the University of Colorado at Boulder, which is in Division I. They also won their division in the Jackalope Tournament held two weeks ago in Wyoming. During the annual trip to the SNAFU tournament, they lost three games. The club is the Oldest sports club for Metro, but has a hard time recruiting people despite its record. The team has no outside sponsors this year, although last year Jackson's Hole sponsored it. Metro pays $800 to the club, but according to Kent, the club costs $10,000 to run. The team makes up the difference with dues and a tournament held at Metro the last week of February every year.

Senior midfielder/forward Kari Pierce controls the ball with a header in the game against Colorado Christian Oct. 13. The Roadrunners won 3-1.

.......

"She has a real personality and presence on the field," he said. "She's not afraid to take on players on her way to the goal. "She's hard working during the season, and really hard working in the off season." As Pierce and her teammates were warmi.ng up for the game, Smash Mouth's song ·~ Star" echoed across the fieJd. Pierce didn't notice. She was thinking about winning the game. "Every game we play now is important," she said. With a sharp thud of cleats hitting the ball, the game began. In the first 15 minutes Pierce gained possession of the ball. She stopped. She saw in opening. She passed to teammate Janice Armstrong. Armstrong scored. Metro lead 1-0. Pierce added another assist to her record. "People are realizing women's soccer is a great sport," she said. Metro won the game 3-1. For Pierce, the win was bittersweet. "Every game we play is one less college soccer game for me," she said. "It's finally setting in that I'm almost done."
