Quality indicators may-violate Metro's Missi6n By Tim f"llelds and Lois Wymore 7be MelrofXJ/itan

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said Colorado Comm~ion of Higher F.ducation's Quality Indicator System violates Metro's m~ion and threatens the school's financial future. Kaplan wrote in an Oct. 20 e-mail, "I am not opposed to the QIS per se. But given Metro's important role and m~ion, which is unique by legislative intent and statute, I do have issues with potential effects of the CCHE's implementation plan on the

college." The Quality Indicator System was created by the Comm~ion and c005ists of nine categories that Metro's annual performance -will be judged upon. These performance indicators cover topics such as, graduation rates, exam scores and teacher productivity. Metro could I~ millions of dollars in state funding if performance is deemed poor. The Com~ion's QIS lumps Metro's statistics with other schools with different ~ions and adm~ion standards states a Sept. 30 memo from the Comm~ion. This is why the QIS is "fatally flawed", Kaplan stated in an Oct. 12 letter to the president of The State Colleges of Colorado.

Colorado Revised Statutes, 23-54-101, establishes Metro's m~ion as a modified open adm~ion institution. The QIS compares Metro's statistics with schools with a moderately selective status, according to a Sept 30 memo by the Comm~ion. Metro is required to admit non-traditional applicants that are at least 20 years old and have a high school diploma or GED. Other ~Jorado schools are not held to these requirements and are able to deny app!icants.

Dressing as a drag queen is an illusion, an art form and an entertainment value a female illusionist said in a speech at Metro. "Don't Believe the Hype" was a presentation by Brendan Haymaker about uncovering the mysteries of the female illusionist and the路 myths and realities of the drag queen subculture. A curious crowd of about 50 people came to listen and watch Haymaker, a drag queen, or a female illusionist, transform into Savannah Haze on Oct. 21 in the TIVOii Student Union. Haymaker said he was nervous because this was the first time he had actually transformed in front of an audience. "I've never had an audience while I've gotten into drag,"He said. "So this will be a very unique and different experience." Haymaker has been a female illusionist for five and a half years. "I have been doing drag, or female illusionism, since I was about 18-years-old, that was the first time. It was the most awful experience of my entire life and I did not do it for a long while Scolt s..ltmfJbe Metropolitan after that.." Haymaker said. This bad experience was the result of letting a straight Savannah Haze sauntered through the crowd at the Queens High Tee on Oct. 21. Haze, who is woman paint his face.

Metro student Lance Talyor, breaks through a board during National Board Breaks for the Cure Day, Oct. 22. The demonstration by local Tae Kwan Do experts was to raise money for Beast Cancer.

Glass shards surrounded the body and blood was visible at the top of the head of the victim. One of the victims shoes was in the middle of the intersection, along with his backpack, about 25 feet from the body. Approximately 100 bystanders were standing outside of the yellow police tape watching the investigation. "You see students jay-walking out here all the time," said one pedestrian, a Metro student, Alvin Richburg Jr. He said the ~destrian light is very short and does not give the pedestrian enough time to walk completely across the intersection. The signal light gives pedestrians about 20 seconds to cross the intersection. ''You get stuck in the middle of the median and if I am really in a hurry I will run all the way across if I can, but it all depends on the time and rush hour," said Chris Mathers, a bystander and a South High School graduate. About 12 police vehicles responded to the accident and one Denver Fire Department truck left the scene at 8:15 p.m., another Denver Fire Department truck arrived at 8:45 p.m. to clean debris off the street. The police tape surrounding the accident was removed at 8:47 p.m. Traffic going west bound on Colfax Avenue resumed regular traffic How at 9:00 p.m. "The cars go very very fast, you either get the hell out of the way or you go with the car, that's what it comes down to," Richburg said.

Student Government vice president resigns D Chuck Duga_n, vice president of administration and finance with SGA, will leave office Dec. 1 to allow ample time to find a replacement VP for spring 2000 semester, letter states

To my fell ow Metro students: For the past five months, working with the Student Government Assembly has been infinitely frustrating, but incredibly rewarding. F.ach Thursday I find myself working with a group that has wonderful ideas, but they find difficulty making a fluent transition in bringing those ideas into fruition. To say the least, I have grown immensely through our struggles. Sadly, I need to inform you of my intention to resign as Vice President of Administration and Finance effective Dec. 31. I have made this decision for several reasons. The individual problems I am encountering are being dealt with on the personal level. As for SGA as a whole, here is some insight into my choice. I find SGA moving in 12 separate directions, losing focus on the collective purpose. For me, I have treated this position as business and know that some of my actions have been perceived as harsh or poorly received. Sadly, I find that the entire group does not take our business seriously, behaving as if we are "playing house." I cannot continue to be a part of this. This body is headed for financial dire straits if the current

This has not been an easy decision to make, nor has it been one made in haste. An advertisement for a replacement should be My and soul are no longer made public soon, and I encourage all eligible students to apply. my vice president... I am asking that SGA allow me to maintain the Student Employee Awards Program I began this semester through my position in New Student Orientation. This is a pilot program, and I would like to maintain the work and effort I have put into spending trends are not changed. I have done my best to it. No one else has shown an interest in participating in the communicate this, but feel that the information is falling on deaf operation of the awards program, so I feel this should not be a ears. I cannot continue to be a part of this. Events in the past a difficult decision for the group to make. When I am out of office, I will be a Metro student. I will couple of weeks have caused me to lose some trust in SGA's leadership and commitment to the student body. I will not be a continue to remain current on SGA's activities. Again, I part of this. What pains me most is that I cannot fulftll my apologize for not being able to stay on as your Vice President of commitment to the student body as I promised to do last April.

My heart and soul are no longer in my actions as vice president, so I cannot continue to represent you, the student body. - Chuck Dugan Giving you my resignation this far in advance is to aid SGA Vice President ofAdministration and Finance Student in finding an adequate replacement. It is my intention to train Government Assembly this person so that he or she can fulfill the duties of the position.

Eco Pass makes it to campus after long month long fight 0 NEWS: Long negotiations with Regional Transportation District for Eco Pass successful for Auraria employees. 0 VIEWS: The Eco Pd.ss will help employees and the environment at a reasonable cost.

Employees at Auraria have been negotiating for an F.co Pass for years, and October's push for the subsidized bus pass resulted in failure. The Auraria Higher F.clucation Center needed 400 employee signatures to get the F.co Pass for campus employees, including faculty and staff,

but even after extending the sign-up deadline People who bought a Value Pass can get the petition was 40 signatures short. their money refunded from RTD through AHEC. AHEC kept up negotiations with RTD, The F.co Pass is a bus pass purchased by explaining the campus' position, mainly that employers for all full路time employees. With this employees did not want to pay more than $25 a photo ID card, employees are entitled to month for the pass and that the program unlimited rides on all regular RTD transit needed to be voluntary. services: AHEC's continued efforts paid off.

ride home in the event of an emergency, illness or unexpected schedule change that requires them to work late. Employees may use the Guaranteed Ride Home program on any day they ride the bus or use another form of alternative transportation to get to work. The F.co Pass saves riders money, too. Peak hours cost riders $1.25. Multiply that by 2 times a day, five days a week, four weeks a month and it's $50. The Eco Pass is half that. More bus riders create more parking spaces for those who choose to drive. Riding the bus eliminates rush hour hassles for many. Congratulations to AHEC for continuing the fight for the Eco Pass. It helps everyone, riders and drivers alike.

George Washington should be part of everyone's history I was just reading the article about the protests Oct. 14 by various Chicano or Mayan student groups. It was a very interesting and informative article for which I totally agree and admire the students' concerns and actions about the current state of minority history teaching in public school. This is what America is all about; free speech, right to protest, etc. etc. One thing that halted my otherwise placid reading between class and thus prompted me to send you this letter is a quote near the end; "They love to teach about George Washington. What

does he have to do with our history?'' Now is this just a way the article misstated intentions or what? I hate to rain on these people's parade, and I truly believe in ethnic education and diversity, but George Washington IS your history. That is if you are a United States citizen. People like George Washington gave you the right to do exactly what you are doing. I think the lines of diversity are blurring. Diversity would entail us to learn Chicano AND American history. After all, that is where we all live, right? In America? George Washington and all his buddies that helped start this country are very important to

our own history, a history that all citizens should know as it allows us all an insight as to the way things are today in THE UNITED STATES. I must restate that I am totally for minority history education. It helps us all better understand each other and breaks otherwise destructive cultural barriers. l think Mr. Lopez is contradicting himself with this statement and I hope I just misinterpreted it, because if I didn't, then we are just putting up the walls we are trying so hard to tear down. - ]uslin Holly Metro student

The la<it great American rock and roll show rolled into town Saturday night. It ·blazed off Interstate 25 and stopped at Ziggy's in North Denver, firin' up the joint and staying way past last call. Stone was in town promoting their latest CD, Here Before. The band, which hails from Los Angeles, has been on the road since March 30, playing their bluesbased brand of rock and roll and gaining converts the old fashioned way - gig by gig and club by club. 1999 has been a good year for Stone.

Stone's bas.5ist Brian James, along with his bandmates, guitarist and vocalist Brad Wtl.son, and drummer JJ. Garcia have been slowly making a .,. name for themselves playing to audiences acro.5.5 the country, stopping in major music cities like Chicago; Memphis, Tennessee; Austin, Texas; and Orlando, Fla. ~ And they just finished playing an opening slot at the Mobile Bay Festival in Mobile, Ala., sharing the stage with Tonic and Citizen King. "It's been a great tour," James said. ·~ustin was a great experience. Crowds were out in the streets every night."

What a drag! Strawberries dipped in chocolate, fresh fruit and finger foods all served on a silver platter; centerpieces consisting of satin gloves, a boa and faux diamonds - all the necessary accessories of royalty. The table was elegantly and elaborately decorated for an afternoon tea with a queen . The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Student Service hosted The Queens' High Tea on Oct. 21. G.L.B.T honored its allies, out standing organizations and people, with awards, tea and entertainment in this annual themed event. This year, the theme was drag. Although :iressing in drag was optional, many opted to do just that, including the Director of G.L.B.T, Karen Bensen. Savanna Haze, a.k.a. Brenden Haymaker, a Metro junior and female illusionist presented the Allied of the Year Award to Dr. Marilyn "Cookie" Hetzel of the Metro Theater department. "Cookie isn't here today," said Haze enviously, "she's in San Diego...bitch." With a laugh her husband accepted the award and a kiss from Haze. Hetzel was one of the original faculty members to suggest the need for a G.L.B.T student service on Auraria Campus. The Student Allied award went to Dorothy Hicks, 72, who is nrolled in the Metro Emeritus program. Hicks was honored for her work with the G.LB.T, including advocacy work and her work on the AIDS Walk. The Staff Allied award was presented by its first-time winner, Yolanda OrtegaEricksen, vice president of Student Services at Metro. The award went to Kate Lutrey, interim executive assistant to the vice president of Student Services at Metro. "She is a true individual and in the most basic way shows help to all in the community," said Ortega-Ericksen. Llnda Cecile is a student staff member at G.LB.T. She came dres.5ed as "Lenny" with a thin mustache and multiple necklaces, including a car emblem and cigar: With a swagger, "Lenny" gave a boa and a ~ to each award winner. Haze, her brilliant red hair crowned by a tiara, provided some of the scheduled entertainment. As the afternoon drew to an end she serenaded each table with the song, "I want to love you forever," by Jessica Simpson. And with a royal curtsey and wave she departed.

While in the studio mixing tracks, they met horror film director John Carpenter. He was in the next studio recording the soundtrack for his film Vampires. Carpenter came into the studio where Stone was mixing tracks and took a liking to their song ''Teaser." Carpenter liked it so much that he asked the band if he could put it in the movie. The band said yes. "It was a perfect fit," James said of the song, which can be heard throughout the film.

Arapahoe Basin Bonus Season Pass

He coold be five years into his professional soccer career by now, but instead, senior Richard Paylor is a mid-fielder for the Metro men's soccer team. At 16-years-0ld Paylor had the opportunity to play professional soccer in his native country ofEngland, but chose not to. "I wanted to go to a different country, go to school and play soccer," Paylor said. Paylor said his good ball skills earned him a scholarship for California State University at Bakersfield. Paylor only played one season there because they lost scholarship money and Metro wanted him. "He was recommended as a great player," said coach Brain Crookham. A good friendship between the coaches at Cal-State Bakersfield and coaches at Metro resulted in a visit to Denver for Paylor. "Coach flew me out, and I liked Denver and the campus," Paylor said. Crookham said Paylor made an easy transition into the Roadrunner soccer program. "He is a very skilled player," Crookham said, "His-0n-the field play makes him a great player." Paylor began playing soccer in England when he was 3-years-0ld. That is where he says

he learned everything he knows. ''As soon as you can walk, they throw a ball at your feet,'' Paylor said. Paylor's leadership skills have won the respect of his teammates. They voted him team captain all three years he has played for the Roadrunners. "Rich has the best skills I've seen in the conference," said sophomore Judson Dymond. Paylor said his personal strengths are keeping and passing the ball well, but running is his weaknes.s. "I know that I'm a captain, but I'm one of the most unfit players on the team," Paylor said. Good players get past their weaknesses, by making up for them with other skills on the field. "He is a very mature player, and he never panics while on the field," Crookham said. Sophomore Skyler Sturgeon said that Paylor's experiences helps to calm players down when he's on the field. "He is a very composed player," said junior Chico Hooper. "When he says something people listen. When things are crazy on the field and everyone is yelling at each other, Rich is the only one who keeps his cool." In the 15 games played this season for the Roadrunners Paylor has posted one goal, one assist and three points.
