Metro graduates have come under scrutiny in the past few weeks for roles they played in Denver area police depanmenL'i. Denver Mayor Wellington Webb asked Police Chief Tom Sanchez to step down on Feb. 8. Sanchez grnduated from Metro in 1971. Another Metro graduate, Jefferson County Sheriff John Stone, is the focus of a recall effort as a result of his decisions surrounding the Colu'mbine High School shootings. Metro spokeswoman Debbie Thomas said Sanchez studied criminal justice at Metro and graduated in 1971, one year after he joined the force as an officer. Sanchez rose through the ranks in the Denver Police Department after he became a detective in the vice squad in 1973. He took more responsible roles on the force and was named one of !WO deputy chiefa because of his work supervising security at large events such as World Youth day in 1993 and the Summit of the Eight in 1997. Jn August 1998, Webb appointed Sanchez chief of police.

Commandments bill fails due to lack of votes A bill requiring the posting of the Ten Commandmenrs in public school classrooms and a moment of silence was pulled Feb. 14 because it did not have enough votes to pass. The bill said it would "prevent the exclusion of America's moral heritage in the teachings in public schools." Sen. John Andrews, R-Englewood, said he introduced the bill in the hope of preventing school shootings such as the one at Columbine High School on April 20,

1999.

)

Andrews made a last-ditch effort to save his bill by eliminating references to God John Andrews and making posting the Ten Commandmenrs optional. That was not good enough for the bill to pass in the Senate, Andrews said. Sen. Stan Marsunaka, D-Loveland, said he thought the bill was unconstitutional but voted yes in the Senate Education Committee, advancing it to the Senate for discussion. The bill originally required public schools to post the Ten Commandmenrs in every classroom and in the main entryway to every public school. The bill also required a moment of silence in every public school classroom at the start Stan Matsunaka of each school day. The "period of quiet reflection" was to be preceded with the following words: ''The class will now observe a moment of silence for reflection on our heritage as a free people in one nation under God." Andrews said the bill was constitutional because the commandments were a code of conduct and not an endorsement of religion. This was heavily contested and many religious leaders who showed up at the capitol to oppose the bill Feb. 10. State Attorney General Ken Salazar said the bill was unconstitutional.

MetrOeditonal .Streamlining higher education needs to wait D NEWS: A bill to place Metro under the supervision of the State Board of Agriculture failed. 0 VIEWS: Good. Rep. Chavez introduced a bill that would abolish the board of trustees of state colleges and place the schools under State Board of Agriculture. It died in the House F.ducation Committee on Feb. 16. The State Board of Agriculture oversees Colorado State University, the University of Southern Colorado and Fort Lewis College. It's understandable that Chavez wants to streamline higher education, saving money and putting· it to better use. But

eliminating the board of trustees and creating a megasystem of colleges isn't the answer. CSU is a university. The Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado, Metro's governing board oversees colleges that each have their own mission. If any change to the board should be made, Metro should have its own board. Metro is an urban, commuter campus. Its students are a diverse group. Chavez's proposal was also extremely premature. The Colorado Commission on Higher F.ducation is in the middle of a huge study of higher education. The study will be complete in Jan. 2001. CCHE will make recommendations and present in its report. But, the study is not finished. Making a bill that recommends a change now was premature. Chavez should have waited another

·.

year before making his proposal. Since his bill failed in this year's legislature, he might do just that.

Beatrice Winde taught me to embrace my culture, my life and my art, showing me the many ways that you must grow. We would sit in her great Lower Eastside apartment, sipping as she called it, while we watched the traffic from outside. She introduced me to the great Katz deli and corned beef sandwiches. We would discuss Garcia Lorca and Garcia-Marquez. She taught me to appreciate my own poetry. One day she told me that a playwright does not know who he is, a poet always knows.

Dinge Queens: Don't mock that which you are not .... I hate dinge queens, little jerry Springer knockoffs. Dinge queens try to make the culture of the men or women they date exotic. You know one, I promL-;e. Example: Middle-class white girl dates "urban" black guy. Middle class white girl turns Simone Charles into Lawanda Bonquisha in whiteface, adopting The Nappiest all stereotypical "ghetto" behavior. She dre;ses Edge ''black," she talk's "black'," she rolls her eyes, . sucks her teeth and talks loud. Frequent verbal explosions of; "Gurrrrrl!," ··word," or ·'Yep, Yep" might follow. The girl is from Iowa. Black girls: Hi. How many times has some white girl come up to you talking about; "I got soul," or " I know I got black in me, look at this big old ghetto booty." I don't know about you but, "I'm about to put some ghetto in your ass, and I'm from ·sum Money' Westchester County, N.Y.," is usually what runs through my mind at those times. Dinge queens: Denounce their own, perfectly fine, culture. Appropriate, and then mock, black culture. F.nforce racist scereotypes. Dehumanize the people they date.

Make it hard for other interracial couples who love the person the}' date, not the stereotype. Anybody know what Yellow Cab is? An honor bestowed upon rich, New York fashion week shopping, Japanese girls who have one-night stands with black men. So I guess you can understand

Like the abused child who grows up to be the abuser, people of color can perpetuate the cycle of racism in a myriad of ways...

when aJapanese girlfriend of mine tell~ me how angry it make her when black guys call her Yellow Cab. It ticks me off because I can not belie\'e male descents of American slaves would dare call out a female member of the only other r.icial group who could possibly understand what it was like co be an enslaved American citizen in the country of their binh. Or do we forget that 120,000 American Japanese were sent to internment c.imps during World

W.ir II? Oh, well, if you brothers want a friendly reminder of that horrid experience, please call Rachel Harding, ,(30)) 765-3194, and demand that she sits you right in front of the internment camp survivors who will be speaking at the Iliff School of Theology Feb. 18. Tell her I sent you. Then you and your little dinge queen girlfriends buy a copy of Fritz Fannon's Black Skin, White Mask and start on the bunny slope of black consciousness. "They are touring blackness without the pain," said Michael Eric Dyson, author of Race Rules: Navigating the Color Line after I explained the dinge queen /Yellow Cab phenomena. "The exoticizing and fetishizing of other, of difference, allows for erasing the politics of race, and substituting with the aesthetics of race," he concluded. Neither the politics nor the pain of race can be erased unless we allow it. Like the abused child who grows up to be the abuser, people of color can perpetuate the cycle of racism in a myriad of ways, even as racism scores their backs. It re-.tlly hurts when someone mocks your culture. It really hurts when one person of color mocks another. If you want to kill a mockingbird, know your history. This is Kizzy Glorified looking into the horiwn off the nappiest edge. ·

crisis more than test scores, it's the teaching

Gov. Bill Owens actually says: "We are in danger of losing a generation of children to illiteracy" in our state's public education system. he doesn't realize that his words just don't add up. And maybe, just maybe, it's in the governor's political interest to try to make us see something that isn't actually there. Crisis? What crisis? Yes, there might be a crisis. There might be a crisis in the way we educate our minority students. There might be a crisis if you look at inner-city schools from poor communities-Of kids being ill-prepared to come to school. When Owens says we are in danger of raising a generation of illiterates, does he really mean Women, Blacks, Hispanics, and

Indigenous minorities? Will he do anything about it, or just raise the confederate flag ?Ver the Colorado Capitol? Does Gov. Owens have that certain theme that some politicians are pursuing. They're considering vouchers, tax credits, etc. They're ' being pursued outside the evidence, but when you release the scores, suddenly there's a crisis. Suddenly, vouchers might be the remedy. How about it Governor Owens, raise the flag or r.iise well educated Colorado students, Women, Blacks, Hispanics, Indigenous, and the poor?

OUTFIELD:

Roadrunners

Metro's outfield players are "the fastest in the natfon," said assistant coach Tim Carlson. Coach Vince Porreco recruited several transfer students, three of whom start at some point in the season in the outfield. Juniors Jack Edwards, Caleb Paramenter and Mau Olson will all make an instant impact in the outfield. Edwards was an All-American at Reedly College, hitting .455 and smashing eight homeruns and eight triples. Paramenter will get some innings on the mound as well as in the outfield. Olson will utilize his quickness in the outfield as well as the basepaths. 'They are all smart ballplayers," Carlson said. "And we didn't have to do much to their swings. They came in prepared to get started." Returning to the Roadrunner outfield are junior John Gustafson and senior Miika Autio. Gustafson played in 16 games and hit .265 last season. The outfield isn 't new for Autio, who played some outfield while he was in junior college.

IDTTING: With the offense as explosive as it was last year, it seemed there was no room for improvement. But to the coaches, there's always room for improvement. Despite the Roadrunners offense being near the top in the RMAC, the coaches looked for ways to make it better during the off-season. Assistant coach Cory Linteo said by videotaping each player's swing in the off-season, the hitters saw what they were doing right and wrong. That gave the hitters a chance to improve the mechanics of their swing and approach. "We have more all around hitting," said assistant coach Tim Carlson. "Last year we had more individual hitting, four or five guys who hit well as individuals. But this year, everybody all around can hit well. This year, nobody stands out above anybody else." The Roadrunners' batting talent, plus the team's work in the offseason will make it even more difficult to get them out this season.

The fever is spreading. Salsa-fusion fever, that is. At least around the metro area and Community College of Denver, where two instructors are spreading the craze. "It's a fun, one-credit class," said dance professor Elda Munoz of the salsa dance class she and her sister Virginia Franco, teach at CCD. The class is Introduction to Salsa Music, and it explores the history, music and techniques of the dance. The class meets in South Classroom 225 on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30p.m. ."She (Munoz) just passes along her joy of salsa dancing," said Julie Tixier, who has taken salsa classes from Franco and attends many salsa functions with the sisters.
