For the first time this semester, the Student Advisory Committee of the School of Arts, Letters and Sciences met to address the advising problems students encounter. In their meeting Nov.3, Dean Joan Foster and Interim Associate Dean James Cronoble listened to concerns and suggestions students had about advising. Advising encompasses everything from what classes to take, when to take them and graduation requirements, to what career opportunities exist. One of the problems students talked about was the lack of coordination between advisors. Cronoble said that failure to coordinate between professors is especially a problem in big departments, like Math or English that have many students. 'The person being advised needs to know what questions to ask to be advised better," said Student Representative for the Art Depanment Daniel Kelly. On the other side of things, the Student Advisory Committee also used the meeting to discuss what could be done to improve advising. Kirk Hagaman, student representative for the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences department, said the committee talked about the possibility of senior students being involved with advising freshman. He said that seniors have already been through the process and are in a position to share their experience with students who are just starting out. Hagaman and Kelly both believe that sometimes getting advice from a fellow student can be more beneficial than from a school adviser. Getting a second opinion from school advisors was also an idea. "Patients get second opinions when they see doctors; why don't freshmen get a second opinion when it comes to how they'll spend the next four years?" Kelly asked. Student representative for the Modem Languages department, Sherri Ruby said departments need to share advising strategies. The Student Advisory Committee for the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences is made up of students who were nominated by their department to represent it on the committee. "Students can make a difference... even before the semester is over, the students will see some of their suggestions implemented," Cronoble said. Cronoble also said that advising is considered extremely important and it's improvement is a major goals this year. Foster echoed Cronoble's statements saying that she believes aclvi<iing can always be improved and that advising helps students finish their degrees.

Psychiatrist battles Campus parking anti-social disorder usage decreases ...

The Metropolitan

Author and psychiatrist Donald Black spoke about what he called "the biggest threat to society." Black, author of Bad Boys, Bad Men, spoke at the TIVOii Turnhalle Nov. 10. Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Black said, "causes more problems to society than any other di.5order." He said it starts as young as five years old and continues into adulthood. One of the most chilling symptoms of the disorder is a lack of remorse. An anti-social, he said, is someone who, "hates without reason, and kills without remorse." This, he said, is the problem that many serial killers have. He aJSo said that there is a possibility that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold路 had the disorder when they killed 13 people and themselves at Columbine High School on April 20. He said that more than 80 percent of the prison population has symptoms of Anti-Social Personality Di.5order. The disorder, he added, is primarily found in lower-income families.

0 NEWS: AUniversity of Colorado at Denver student proposed a campus-wide fee increase to benefit the Auraria Child Care Centet 0 VIEWS: It's a good plan and should be included on the spring ballot. CU-Denver graduate student Guy Patterson wants more money for the Auraria Child Care Center. Patterson worked with Child Care Center Executive Director Gina Hamlin and CU Foundation Vice President Betsy Cheroutes on his proposal. Patterson's plan is to have students from all three schools would pay a $10 fee at the start of the fall 2000 semester, and spring and summer 2001 semesters. Students would pay a total of $30 only once during their time at school . The CU Foundation would invest the collected money, about $750,000, according to Patterson. The interest earned from the $750,000 would go to the Child Care Center. Patterson's conservative estimate of the annual earnings from the invested money. is

$30,000. The Child Care Center can use the money for improvements but not for employee salaries or benefits. Students already pay for those salaries with existing fees. Some of the items needed at the center include shade trees, better· playground equipment1 computers and educational materials. The endowed fund would provide several thousand dollars a year for these needed improvements. The Child Care Center has programming money, but more money will help buy more educational items for the children, make improvements to the building and maybe even increase enrollment. Often, prospective students look to the Child Care Center as the deciding factor for coming here. Patterson said: "Students don't care if there's a Domino's in the food court. They care about whether they can have their children taken care of." He's right. Childcare is necessary, especially for a nontraditional, commuter campus. If the money is spent wisely, let's pay the $30 and improve the center with the capital. Studies show that children who receive quality childcare have a better chance to

graduate from high school. Well cared for children earn more money and have better social skills. They do better on IQ tests. They are more motivated and committed to school. Parents benefit too. Graduation rates for students who use on-campus childcare are higher, according to a Syracuse University N.Y., study. Students who use on-campus childcare have better G~As and graduate sooner. Patterson proposed the investment and spending plan to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board on Nov. 15. SACAB's decision will be made before the fall semester ends. If SACAB puts the proposal on the ballot, students will vote on it this spring. If students vote for the fee increase, an oversight committee would be established to decide how to spend the interest money from the investment. The committee would be made up of a student from each school, the executive director of the Auraria Child Care Center and a member of the Auraria Board of Directors. Seventy-five percent of the committee must be present in order to vote on spending. Patterson's proposal is unique and will benefit students and children on campus.

They argue about Reagan, Pedro Infante, Chelo Silva, and Las Vegas. They argue about the artistic intricacies of Luis Bunel's aesthetics in relation to Jodorooky's surrealist work. When my grandmother died they fought about that too, just to make it seem like everything was fine and dandy. _ It wasn't until lately that I realized that my uncle and my father love each other.

usually occurs after age 40 and can often be managed through weight loss, nutrition and exercise. · Todd, who is Type I, says he is now totally open about being diabetic. "It's not a big deal, but it has its h?S-5les," he said, pulling a small blue kit out of his school bag. The kit, which he keeps with him at all times, contains insulin, syringes, needles, a pen to prick his. finger, lancets to draw the blood and a meter to test it. 'There isn't a day that I don't think about the complications and wonder if that's something that's going to happen to me," he said. Even though the American Diabetes As.5ociation says that 5.9 percent of the population has diabetes, Todd finds he doesn't know many people who are diabetic. He said that it is hard to explain to people who don't have it. "When your sugar is too high you feel tired. When it's too low you're ddusional. You're constantly up and down," he said. Todd's desire to learn more about this complex disea.5e and to relate with other diabetics prompted him to look for a support group. "It's easier to talk to someone who has it that I don't know well than to talk to someone I'm very cl~ to," he said. The only group he could find was in Boulder, so last spring he approached the Student Health Center about starting_a group on the Auraria campus. Th~ Diabetic Support Group, led by Todd, has been meeting every other Wednesday this fall. · Todd makes it clear that he is not a physician or a nutritionist. The meeting is for support. It's a place where people can share, vent or just listen, he said.

•

. Those attending would concur. "Diabetes is a scary thing; you're searching, reaching for anything for better health," said Sharonjassmann. She attended the group while working as a temp for campus administration. "With other diabetics everyone knows where you're coming from," she added. "Diabetes is the pits," said Valerie Bordas, who is on theAuraria library staff. "I've found support here with other people who are going through the same thing." The group also draws people with family and friends who are diabetic. Margaret Smith of the Senior Enrichment Program has a diabetic sister. "I tdl you, I've learned so much in these meetings. There is so much information," she said. Billi Mavromatis, an Auraria health educator, said she's had to do some major learning about diabetes. Her husband of three years is diabetic and she said it's important to know what to do when someone is having a reaction and needs help. Mavromatis, who works at the Student Health Center, said the way Todd came forward to start the group is uniql!e. She praised his follow through, and said he is totally responsible for the implementation and growth of the group. In a newsletcer he creates for .each meeting, Todd pulls together diabetes related infonnation, including recipes, from various publications and the American Diabetes Association. He also brings snacks made from the reeipes. The last meeting of the support group for the fall semester is ~nesday, Dec. 1from11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 1020 Ninth Street R:lrk.

Men start season with eyes wide open·Weekly By Trent Brolherton

Wrap-Up

7be Metropolitan

On the wall of men's basketball coach Mi~e Dunlap's office is a black and white picture he calls "Eyes of Intent." The picture, he claims is the reason for his recent success and the reason why he chooses to do what he does. Some of Dunlap's accomplishments include: • coaching the most successful college basketball team, men or women, in Colorado state history, . • his team won back-to-back Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference East Division Championships, • his team posted 25-plus win seasons in both years, including tying a school record for most wins in a season last year with 28, • and his team has finished in the top 20 (16th last year, 18th ·in '97-'98 season) in the nation. All of this was done in only his first two years. Be at the Auraria Events Center at 7 p.m. Nov. 22 and watch what could be the best coached basketball team ever to play in Colorado - the Metro men's basketball team. Dunlap, in his first two seasons as the basketball coach for the Roadrunners, has produced a 53·ll (.828) record. The Roadrunners started the season 1-2 in the Disney Tip-Off Classic, which features some of the best teams in the nation. The rocky start hasn't taken the team's focus off clinching the school's first ever national championship. Which leads back to the picture on the wall in his office. The picture is of his team coming out of a huddle at the national championship game last year where Metro lost 75~ to top ranked Kentucky Wesleyan. "You can see the drive and intensity in all of their eyes," Dunlap said. ''There's so much focus on what's going on at that point in time. That's what makes us so good." In the past, the men's basketball team lacked focus and intensity, and there was talk of off-the<ourt problems, including drug and alcohol use, but not under Dunlap. Dunlap wants the team to develop life skills that will make them successful after basketball. "By using basketball as a means to an end, our players will be better in aca~emics, social

Men's basketball coach Mike Dunlap deemed this photo the "Eyes of Intent." It hangs on his office wall. The photo of last year's starters was taken at the NCAA Division II Championship game March 20.

development and hopefully spiritual development," Dunlap said. Dunlap swears by the early bird gets the worm theory. The team practices Monday through Friday at 5 a.m., and at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, which Dunlap believes recreates a real work experience for his players. By practicing early in the morning, the players learn responsibility not only on the court but in real life too, Dunlap said. An early practice time is not the only reason why Metro is ranked No. 1. The team is returning all five of its starters, and a roster that includes five seniors and nine lettermen. Three of them are predicted preseason All-Americans. The three are senior guard DeMarcos Anzures, senior power forward Lee Barlow and 6-foot-10 senior center Jason Johnson. Johnson sat out last year after transferring from University of South Dakota, where he earned first team North Central Conference honors in 1997-98 season. "Johnson gives us an element a lot of teams don't have because of his size," Dunlap said. "His greatest asset is he can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the hole." Anzures comes to his senior year only 399 points away from being Metro's all time leading scorer, but feels that his role will change this year. "With the addition of J.J.Oohnson) and

the increasing confidence of Lee (Barlow) and John(Bynum) I won't have to score as much," Anzures said. "We should be much more balanced." Anzures said that he thought there was a lot of pressure on him and his teammates to be successful. "But if we keep practicing hard and take one game at a time, the pressure will take care of itself," Anzures said. Barlow was second.on the team in scoring last year, ·averaging 14.l points. However, he dominated the Elite Eight Tournament, averaging 26 points in three games, including a Ca.reer-high 33 point blow-up in a Metro win over No. 3-ranked Salem Teikyo in the round of eight. Anzures and Barlow were both named to the Elite Eight All-Tournament team. Intensity and veteran leadership will carry the team to new heights this year, said junior forward Rashawn Fulcher, who started the last 11gamesin1998-99 season. "We'll be playing some good teams this year," Fulcher said, "but that won't rattle us, because we have played against the best and we know what it takes. We have to keep our great work ethic, keep our heads up, adjust to adversity and keep our good attitudes and we'll do just fine." If the Roadrunners keep the "Eyes of Intent," they just might be laying their eyes on a championship trophy.
