---Metranews Student vote to determine路fee By Daniela Stolfi The Metropolitan

The Auraria Board approved a student fee increase of $20.50 on Feb. 3. The Auraria Higher &iucation Bond Fee increase will add $20.50 per semester to the AHEC Bond Fee, which is now $39.50. The i.ssue is scheduled to go to a student vote in early April as a referendum during Student Government Assembly elections. Dean Wolf, Auraria executive vice president for administration said he expects students to campaign against the fee increase during elections. After the vote, the proposed fee increase will go to the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado, Metro's governing board, for final approval. Wolf said Auraria needs the money for preventative

Metro's Financial Aid director left for another job on Feb. 19. Interim Associate Director of Financial Aid Cindy Hejl replaced Mary Anne Romero-Hunter on Feb. 21. Romero-Hunter started Feb. 21 as a marketing consultant at the Colorado Student Loan Program. She will also help state colleges and universities obtain state funds for their schools. " I have enjoyed my time here at Metro, but I think it's time for me to move on, and now is the perfect time," Romero-Hunter said. Romero-Hunter began her career in financial aid and customer service more than 19 years ago at Adams State College in Alamosa, her hometown. "I worked in the financial aid offke as a work-study student while I was working on my undergraduate degree, and I guess I just got stuck in it," RomeroHunter said. During her four and one-half years as director, Romero-Hunter said she saw several improvements to financial aid services such as improved access to student records and giving students the opportunity to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid via the Internet. "A few years ago, Metro students did not have the opporrumry to apply for financial aid online. Students also. were not able to receive electronic money transfers. These new services have helped students enormously," Romero-Hunter said.

Poleiebrieft Thief caught in the .act ATivoli bookstore employee told police he caught a shoplifter, who police believe to be a Metro student, attempting to steal several text books on Feb. 11. In what campus police are calling a grab and run theft, a bookstore security guard said at 10 a.m. he observed a man trying to leave the store without paying for the textbooks he collected. He told police he made contact with.the suspect and asked him to return to the store. The suspect became argumentative, dropped the books and fled the scene, according to the guard. He said he chased the suspect but was unable to catch him, although he noticed that the suspect discarded his jacket in a trash receptacle outside ofTivoli. The guard said he retrieved the jacket and books, then called campus police. When police inspected the jacket they found a class schedule for a Metro student. Police reporrs show they checked to see if the student whose name was on the schedule attended class. He had been marked absent for that day. The red jacket was placed in the campus police property room and a department detective ~ notified. The report stated that no further action had been taken.

Student shocked in stall A Metro student told police he became the victim of an indecent exposure when an unidentified man slid his penis under the stall . partition in the second floor bathroom of the library on Feb. 10. The student said he entered a stall in the bathroom at 10:30 a.m. ·and was sitting undisturbed on the toilet for several minutes when a man in the next stall knelt on the floor and extended his erect penis under the partition. The student said he became frightened and immediately sat up on the toilet. He said the man withdrew into the adjacent stall. The victim left the library and contacted campus police. The student told police the suspect had to open his knees widely to get underneath the partition and he thought the suspect had dark blond hair.

Glass door vandalized A campus police officer discovered broken panel ·in a glass door located on the east side of the Arts Building on Feb. 16. Police reports show the officer was doing an · external check of the Arts Building at midnight when he discovered a crack in the glass of a door on the northeast side of the building. Upon further investigation, the officer determined there was a shoe imprint on the inside of the door 25 inches off the ground in the cracked glass. The officer determined that the impact of the foot on the glass caused the bottom half of the door to crack. The report said the extent of the damage could not ~ determined at the time.

Parental permission required for surveys of state's minors The Colorado House of Representatives passed a bill on Feb. 22 that would eliminate most studem surveys. House Bill 1202 would force schools to comply with die Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regarding surveys means and evaluations given to students. That surveying anyone younger than 18 would require parental permission. The bill says any survey "requires a parent or legal guardian to be given two weeks notice for the parent or legal guardian to obtain information about the means, purposes of and access to the information derived from the survey, analysis or evaluation." The Student Press Law Center, a Virginiabased lobbying group for student media, condemned the bill in a press release. "(It) could prohibit student journalists from conducting voluntary and apparently even anonymous surveys of their classmates on virtually every topic ... without going through the arduous, and practically impossible, task of obtaining parental consent," the statement said. While the direct Marilyn Musgrave affect on college newspapers is small, the study would prohibit surveys of incoming or potential freShmen at Metro. According to the center, "the legislation also bans surveys by 'any other party,' ir seems clear that commercial news operations might also be prohibited from polling or interviewing students." The bill would restrict access to student record.5 and allow parents to find out who is requesting the record.5. Parents would be allowed two w~ks to prohibit the release of the record.5. The bill is currently Doug Dean awaiting action in the Senate Education Committee. Sen. Marilyn Musgrave House Majority Leader Doug Dean, and six other Republicans sponsored the bill.

This letter is in response to the "dinge queen" column written by Simone Charles, which appeared in the Feb. 18 Metropolitan. l realize the focus of the article was supposed to say something about those who try to identify with other races, which, in my opinion failed drastically, but I would like to touch on one particular part of the column. How can Charles possibly say that the Japanese are "The only other racial group who could possibly understand what it was like to be an enslaved American citizen in the country of their birth?" Apparently, Charles has never heard of the repatriation of Mexican-American citizens of the 1930s. What about all the first-and-second generation Mexican-Americans who were

rounded up all over the west during the Depression and sent back to "where they came from?" Iguess we-don't count. I am sure that Charles was upset about others imitating what' they can never be, but in the process of blowing off steam, there shouldn't have been a bad history lesson in the middle of the column. Look in your school catalogue and · register yourself for CHS 1020 or one of the other Chicano Studies courses offered at this institution. Maybe the next time you write a column, you will appreciate the people who were displaced in order for this campus to be built so you could sit behind a computer, give.history lessons and leave them out.

Djel«/6e Groundthrobbing drums of local performers Fatu-Fatu and Jambalaya, cultured and hyped up a crowd on campus Feb. 22. Students and Metro organizations contributed to dancing, drumming and spirit in recognition ·of Black History Month. Colorado native FatuJudy Henderson, one of four black female Djembe drummers in the United States, led a IO-member African drumming ensemble called Jambalaya. The event was produced by Fatu's Dragonhead Productions and was brought to campus by Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Student Services. "The goal of GLBTSS was to celebrate Black History Month, African-American pride and diversity," said GBLTSS Director Karen Bensen. An ·enthusiastic crowd of about 75 attended the performance at Saint Cajetan's Center. Students participated in a series of dances and sing-alongs while Henderson kept and stepped up the beat. Judy, also known as "Lady Drummer," was born in Pueblo in 1958. She grew up in Nebraska and moved to Boulder in 1986. "While growing up in Omaha, I always wanted to play the drums. When I got back I started to play with Eric Robinette for 10 years." After years of playing locally, Henderson and her ensemble have mastered the Djembe rhythms and, most importantly, the Djembe drum techniques. Traditionally, the Djembe drum of Mali origin is played only by men. ·~ut 10 years ago a master drummer in Africa wanted to pass his knowledge of drumming to a son. The problem was he had seven daughters and not one son. He had to make a choice. He chose to teach his daughters. The choice almost killed him, literally," she said. The audience heard a series of Djembe-driven songs. Henderson wasted no time in getting the audience involved. During the first song, "White Buffalo Cap," everyone gathered in a circle and held hands. The circle, led by Henderson, broke, and the crowd traveled in an inward spiral. Then, when Henderson got to the center she moved

chanting an African chorus the whole time. The theme of the song was to bring or call upon "The Ancestors." The name of the second song was "Cuku." "le was named after a small African fruit resembling a large cherry. The taste of the fruit is a cross between a cherry, grapefruit and oranges," Henderson said. Judy selected a few people from the audience to help her musical performance. A young boy played hand-held instruments that looked and sounded like maracas, and a young man played an instrument that sounded like a cowbell. The third song, "Lamina" incorporated a Creole dance. Two African dancing performers helped bring the music to life with mesmerizing dance moves. The ground was literally shaking as the percussion instruments jammed. One of the final songs, "Mandani," shared a cultural theme common among other cultures where a young girl, in this case at age 13, comes of age.

Traditionally, spring break has always been synonymous with the phrases "severe sunburn," "heavy drinking," and "week-long party." Many people don't remember their best spring break, mostly because they have experienced one or more of the above phrases.

Tbe Metropolitan

Loyola Marymount University has contacted Metro men's basketball coach Mike Dunlap about its head coaching position that will be empty by the end of the season. Dunlap confirmed the inquiry, but added that he has closed talks with his alma mater until after the Roadrunners' season is over. "I shut it down after one day," Dunlap said. The Roodrunners are vying for the NCAA Division 11 national championship after finishing second last year. Loyola Marymount isn't faring as well. The team's record this season is 2-23, including 12 straight losses. Loyola Marymount's coach Charles Bradley announced his resignation would be effective at the end of this season on Feb. 21, the Associated Press reported. Bradley took the coaching job for the Loyola Marymount Lions three years ago when he left Metro. He coached the Roodrunners from 1995·97 and finished with a 37-43 record here. Dunlap took over the team in 1997, and the Roadrunners finished 25-5. His team won 28 games last season and already has 24 victories this year. With Bradley leaving, Dunlap would be a good candidate for the Lions' head coaching position, but not just because of his outstanding record. Dunlap graduated from and played basketball at Loyola Marymount He was an assistant cooch there for five years, as well. But while the Lions might still be thinking about talking to Dunlap after the season, he's not. His goal is "not to ruin the end of the year by being of two minds." It's a philosophy that he's used before, even as recently as last year. Two schools contacted Dunlap during the postseason last year, but did not to talk to them then, he said. Another philosophy that Dunlap adheres to is being straight with . his players. He told the Roadrunners about Loyola Marymount contacting him, however he left the name of the school out of that

And while he said other schools have called about a coaching position, that doesn't mean it won't happen. "It's still a little early before everything pops at that level," Dunlap said.

The final game of the regular season is away from the friendly confines of the Auraria Events Center, at Colorado Christian University.
