'This is money we have to raise. ~ have about $1.7 million total of the $2 million we need according to the Colorado legislature." The legislature approved the Auraria Foundation's proposal for the Performing Arts Center in 1997, allocating $36 million toward the $38 million price tag on constructing the project. The Auraria Foundation agreed to raise the remaining $2 million privately. "It was certainly a con.5iderable gift, and it

"A facility like this needs quite a bit of equipment," Bautista said. "There is equipment money in the budget, but it's not enough to cover what's necessary."

Calling it a perfect fit for its organization, a Denver foundation has donated $1 million toward completion of the Academic and Performing Arts Center. The Kenneth Kendal King Foundation, named after a former LoDo resident who became .a successful banker, made the donation in December. In honor of the donation, the structure will be named the Kenneth Kendal King Academic and Performing.Arts Center. "It just seemed to be a perfect fit, the way he would have wanted his money used," said Robert Sweeney, president of the Kenneth Kendal King Foundation. "It has a nice theme. (King) was a poor kid who believed in making something of yourself through hard work. He would have liked the non-traditional students at Auraria Campus, a lot of whom have jobs and families and are trying to make something of themselves through hard work." The center, now under construction, is scheduled to open in August. The first new academic building on the Auraria campus in 10 years, the center will offer 54,000 square feet of classroom space, 67,000 feet of performance space, and will include a concert hall, courtyard theater, recital hall and outdoor amphitheater. The center also received a $500,000 donation from the Helen G. Bonftls Foundation, and a Sl50,000 contribution from the Boettcher Foundation.

last June, his parents begin to drift apart. By early August, the mother would not let us see the baby. The father was traumatized, and so were we. We went to Adams County and filed custody papers. The mother was threatening to take the baby out of the country. We did the paper work and waited. By the time the "emergency" hearing happened the baby was safely kidnapped by the mom and taken to Mexico. The court is sorry and though it understands, it does not know the procedure to get the baby back. The father feels as if he were being puni5hed for following the rules. The Adams County Courthouse issued an order stating that neither

of the parents should leave the state or the country, but it did not enforce it. This is a cry for help, the father is desperate and he does not know who to call, who to ask for information. His pain is deep and bloody. He cries at night, lying awake remembering every sound the baby ever made. He cares.ses his toys with such loving peace. The hurt is evident in his stare. He buys the baby juice and food, hoping he will be back soon. The mere sound of Sesame Street brings him to tears. If you have information that might help, call Juan Cerrano Martinez at (303) 344-8086. PARTICIPATE! LIVE! GROW! PFACE! PFACE! PFACE!

Campus diversity, what is it really? Guess what six black colleges got for Christmas? Hate mail vowing to wipe out the black race by the third millennium. How sweet, just what we wanted. Kizzy Glorified Welcome to Diversity Diversity 2000 2000. It is all about believing that diversity is a concept America wants to work; no matter what you read in the paper; no matter how many times they play that "Who's That Lady" Pantene commercial with the red-haired white girl; no matter how many times someone takes a bowel movement in front of a gay student's dorm; no matter how many times Wen Ho Lee's supporters pull the race card. So what if a South African woman turns her skin from black to white to scorched, believe in dream. We Americans are going have to work hard to make Martin Luther King's dream a lucid

I'm sure it would increase the percentage of Black graduates from Metro. Q really want to see students of coloF in non-race related campus clubs. I wonder if the Philosophy Club would recruit me? I love not talking about being black.) Not to be busting anybody's chops but you see to me, diversity is not a concept, it's a verb. It is something actively lived every day of our lives, no matter what color, creed, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation or physical ability we happen to be. Nothing gets in the way of creating diversity. Not white privilege. Not anybody else's racist attitudes, stereotypes or excuses and definitely not your own. Just be awake and hold on. - This is Kizzy Glorified tipping off the nappiest edge.

This is not to say that those who discriminatory use of capital punishment. I do not dispute that intentionally kill even one person may not deserve the death discrimination does exist at all levels of society, including our penalty, but unless we kill all criminals who commit a single justice system. It cannot be denied that the people to whom we murder, the decision as to who lives and who dies will forever be have given the responsibility of dispensing justice are only human fraught with discrimination and prejudice.

Any person can be wrongfully accused, and in the worst of circumstances wrongfully convicted, of murder. The chance that this could happen twice to an innocent person seems barely within the realm of possibility. One exception to my propo.5al of requiring two separate crimes for the death penalty would be those who willfully commit mass-murder, such as Neal, in which case our present laws suffice. Another widespread objection to the death penalty originates from many religious and human rights groups. The objection is that we do not have the right to murder our fellow human beings. In most cases, I would agree with this point of view. However, we must draw the line somewhere. Those who have intentionally and repeatedly taken the lives of others do not deserve the luxury of

Life, not death for convicted murderer . •DEATH, from p.12 remaining among the living. Again, this does not imply that those convicted of a single murder are not deserving of the death penalty, but that these restrictions are needed to prevent the arbitrary and

discriminatory use of capital punishment in our system of justice. Since we all make mistakes, perhaps even the mistake of murder, forgiveness and mercy should be the norm in our courtrooms but repeated actions are not mistakes. When we have taken every possible

precaution against discrimination; when there is practically no possibility of an innocent person being executed; death is the only punishment that truly fits the crime for murder. Mike Harden Metro Student

Annual sleep-out didn't help the homeless I am writing to express my anger at the Sleep Out for homeless people, put on by the Colorado Public Interest Research Group. I chose not to participate in the Sleep Out. I will not participate in any effort that "does not include all people, particularly those that benefit from the effort. It's time to step out of our comfort zones, make a

connection with someone we may perceive as different or dangerous. Those few that may be committing these murders win every time we let it further divide us or control our message. No murderer, no rapist, no person who commits an act of violence will make the decision for me who comes into my neighborhood or campus. Those homeless

people who are afraid tonight and every night because of these murders need our attention and concern. A Sleep Out on campus could have provided at least one night of safety for our homeless people. Taryn M. Browne Metro Student Government

Michelle McArthur has come a long way playing basketball - literally. The 21-year-old Metro sophomore left her home in 1998 in Adelaide, Australia, a coastal ci~ about the same size of Denver, to join the Roadrunners women's basketball team. "I moved here on Dec. 3, and my first game with the Roadrunners was on Dec. 17," she said. "Moving here was an opportunity to do something different." Men's basketball coach Mike Dunlap met McArthur while he coached a professional basketball team in Australia. "That's how we got her," said women's basketball coach Mike Power. "She had a lot of raw ability from the coaches over there, and has really improved more than I thought she would, and more than she thought she would." McArthur said she enjoys playing basketball in the United States. "Women's sports have a higher profile here," McArthur said. "Women's college sports here have more attendance than most male professional sports in Australia." While McArthur had to adjust to her new home, she said lifestyles between Adelaide and Denver are pretty much the same. "When I wasn't playing basketball (in Australia), I was in : the nightclubs and going out to dinner with my friends," she . said. "I try to make time to do stuff with my friends here.

a easy, paved trail that extends for 4.9 miles. Hanket gives information about the sights and markers along the trail, as well as general attractions around the town of Winter Park. The trail is unfinished, but further development is underway. And for the more adventurous off-roaders, explore the various mountain bike and hiking trails around Winter Park and Fraser on your own. One of the longest and more strenuous trails featured in Trails Away is the Lake Dillon Loop. The loop trail takes riders from the Frisco marina, through a wooded greenbelt, and over Swan Mtn. Road, for a total of 18.S miles. Swan Mtn. Road provides the most strenuous leg of the trip, but must be traversed to finish the loop and arrive back in Frisco. Hanket also describes two other trails in the Frisco area, so serious riders can make a weekend out of it. The possibilities for hiking, biking and inline skating around this state are end1ess, and Trails Away saves a lot of wondering about where to go, and also saves you from ending up on a trail that isn't equal to your skill level.

As a frequenter of a health club and a habitual people-watcher, I have recently noticed many things about people around me. Fll'St of all, January is the worst time of the month to work out. If you have the misfortune of getting to "the club" (as it ~ill hereafter be ceferred to) after 4:30 p.m., you might as well p~ on stretching for a really long time. Everyone has made their New ,. Millennium resolution to exercise and get in shape, and so for the first month of the year health clubs everywhere will be like the post office on Christmas Eve. April showers may bring May flowers, but the dawn of February brings all kinds of excuses as to why you can't go to the club. As a result, it becomes much easier to use any equipment in the place. Many people seem to forget that a health club is not a singles bar. Some women spend more time getting ready to go to the club I I than they actually spend working out. I have come up with some tips for those who don't seem to understand the concept of exercise. First, no one cares what you look like. Granted, there are mirrors everywhere to remind you of the sad state of fitness you're in, but many of the people around you are in the same boat. Thong leotards don't look good on anyone. Lipstick is not required on the treadmill, and it is OK if you are wearing Adidas shoes, Nike shorts and a Reebok bra. The brand name police will not care. This is not a place where acceswrizing is crucial, so if the scrunchie doesn't match the shoelaces, we'll let you slide just this once. ~t~路 r , Second, everyone (or most everyone) is Unlike any, other college course you can take. sweating and smelly.

Roadrunners' records in jeopardy

• MEN'S HOOPS, from p.23 earned it and it's taken a lot of time for him to chip away at it." Anzures isn't the only Roadrunner chasing records. Junior Kane Oakley had seven blocks against USC and CU-Colorado Springs, moving into the third spot on the all-time list. Shun Tillman top.s the list with 170. Oakley, who's only 66 blocks away from tying Tillman, attributes his success to one thing. "Long arms." Dunlap has other theories. "He's a very good athlete at 6-9," he said. "He's got more experience and playing more minutes." While Oakley and Anzures are reaching new highs individually, the Roadrunners are dropping nationally. After losing their first two games to open the season, they dropped from No. 1 to No. 3 in Division II. Then after losing to Chadron State, a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference team, Jan. 8, Metro fell to No. 9 in the rankings. However, that doesn't concern the Roadrunners or their coach at this point in the season. "Regionals is what counts," Oakley said. Scaa 5nlllar/1be Metropolitan Dunlap echoed his sentiments. "It's good to sell on the recruiting trail after Senior guard DeMarcos Anzures pkks up two more points on his way to the second spot on Metro's all-time scoring list. the season is over," he said, "but, I'd give up the

national ranking to have a good regional ranking." Yet, there is one time when the national ranking means more than the regional one. "It counts at the end," Oakley said. With 11 games left in the regular season, the Roadrunners still have to pull together some loose ends. "We need to solidify ourselves as a team," Dunlap said. "We have not had all five guys on the same page yet. We haven't been hitting on all cylinders." Dunlap also believes that there are three other keys to winning down the stretch. ''A little bit of luck, there's always a close game that you have to win, and handling the unexpected with poise," he said. 1fiere are a couple of games ahead that the Roadrunners are making a priority to win. They hope to sweep the Nebraska-Kearney and Fort Hays trip, something that no team in the RMAC has ever done. They also want to beat Chadron State. who handed the Roadrunners their only conference loss, 90-77,Jan. 8. "We can't forget about Chadron State," Oakley said. "That will be a big revenge game for us." The loss to Chadron State also snapped their 13-game winning streak, which ties Dunlap's Roadrunners of 1997-98.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan State College of Denver's mission statement espouse~ a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not interfere with any other individual's intellectual inquiry and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas. Equally important is the individual's right-to-privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-to-privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy of 1974). This responsibility_spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal and electronic communications and electronic data files. The Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code). APPROPRIATE USE To be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of institutional goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is true of administrative information systems, academic computing resources,
