Forum reaches out to students Students turn-out for open forum speeches By Ann Acker The Metropolitan

Metro's student government held a forum March 7 to introduce candidates running for spots in the 2000-2001 Student Government Assembly. Several candidates spoke at the forum, held at the flagpole area on campus.They said they hoped to inform students about the activities of the group. The assembly is supposed to present student opinion to college officials. Most members of the assembly are paid $500 month. Each representative is elected for one-year terms each April. The newly elected members of the assembly will begin their one-year term on May 1, while the out-going members will end their one-year term on April 28. There are 18 students running for the 12 positions on the Student Government Assembly this year The forum began with a small parade around campus. The candidates marched from the Auraria Library Stefanie Vassilaros to the flagpole singing

By Bradley Hague The Metropolitan

A Senate committee delayed voting on a bill on March 6 that would prohibit political associations from receiving student fees without consent from individual students. The Senate State Affairs Committee postponed the vote because Sen. Mark Hillman, R-Burlington, the Senate sponsor of the bill, was absent. The current system allows students to waive some fees.

Opponents said the bill is designed to eliminate Colorado Public Interest Research Group, CONNECTION an environmental and consumer lobbying group. Students testifying in the committee against the bill, including Abigail Driscoll from Fort lewis College, and Shane Okamoto from University of Northern Colorado, both are board members for the Colorado Student Association.

Metro teacher degree programs have until 2001 to make the grade By Lisa Opsa~ 7be Metropolitan

If Mecro's ceacher educacion programs don't meet newly approved performance standards, they could be shut down in July 2001. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education unanimously approved the Teacher Education Policy on March 2. The policy reforms teacher education ac Colorado colleges and universities. Metro Provost Cheryl Norton was among those who approved che reforms. "I am pleased that the administracion and faculcy pf Metro Scace were very active and influential in crafting the fmal draft of the teacher education policy," said Metro President Sheila Kaplan. "One of our primary concerns wich the early drafts was that they concained a preferred major list thac limited areas of preparation for teacher licensure to specific majors. As a result, Chicano studies, African-American studies, women's studies and psychology were specifically excluded by the draft policy as appropriate majors for teacher licensure preparation." These degree programs are up for review by CCHE because fewer than 10 students graduated from these programs in the past three years. Including them as acceptable majors for students getting their teaching licenses, was the final step for approval from Metro. "The policy that was approved by the CCHE on March 2 contains no preferred major list," Kaplan said. Colorado colleges and universities will be judged on scandards developed by the scace board of education, which licenses teacher candidates.. Some of the reforms include: requiring education majors to graduace in four years, getting

them into K-12 classrooms faster; and requiring 800 hours of field experience before teacher candidates may be licensed. First- and third-year teachers will grade their teacher education programs and the colleges will document how well graduates perform in cheir clas.srooms. Teachers could also be judged on cheir students' performance on standardized tests. If che students don't do well, blame is pinned on the college where the teacher graduated. Four year graduation also needs attention, Norton said. According to Norton, geuing freshmen involved in teaching degree programs would be a priority. Since students must graduate in four years, they need to declare their majors early. Students who want to enter into a teaching degree program later in their college careers would have a more difficult time completing the requirements in four years, Norton said. Reworking the advising system at Metro would be one way for the school to get freshmen into teaching earlier, she explained. A1999 law requires Colorado colleges and universities to create a performance-based model for teacher education programs. It also requires the programs to undergo a review by CCHE before March 31, 2001. The programs will be approved, put on probation or eliminated based on the review.

cheating in online classes easy as cheating in others 0 NEWS: Some professors are concerned about students cheating in online classes. Are students really doing the work? 0 VIEWS: Students who are dishonest are going to cheat regardless of monitoring by professors in class or at home. Some Metro professors have expressed concerns about students cheating in their online classes. How can professors know if these students are really doing the work, or if the students are using someone else's work?

The unfortunate answer is professors can't know, but they cannot know if the students present in classes are doing the work either. Professors don't ask for identification from students. How do they know if a student really is who they say they are? Especially in general ed classes where hundred of students pass through the course every day, who can monitor all of them? If a student pays someone to impersonate them and take their general ed math class for them, does the professor really know? It is more difficult to monitor students taking tests online, or writing papers, but professors do work around it. According to a U.S. News poll lots of people cheat.

• 84 percent of college students believe they need co cheat to get ahead in the world today. • 90 percent of college students say cheaters never pay the price • 99 percent say when people see someone cheating, they don't turn him in. • 63 percent of college students say it's fair for parents to help with their kids' homework; 20 percent of adults think it's fair to do it. • Students say parental pressure (40 percent), peer pressure (40 percent), and the availability of new technology (31 percent) make them cheat. • Over 90 percent of college students say politicians cheat often. Who else do 90 percent think are cheaters? The media - and high

What we really need from our. ~ders in student government

Well it is election time again for us and our representative Student Government As.5embly. But what should students expect from the SGA? The Student Advocate Party believes it is time for a change in Student Government. Empty promises about vague is.5ues that they have absolutely no control of is not good enough anymore. The Student Advocate Party has already met with Native American Studies director, the coordinator of Metro's First Year Program, the director of the Office of equal Opportunity, as well as setting up appointments with the co-director of the Center for Addiction Studies and Coordinator of the Domestic Violence Counseling Emphasis Area, the Chairs of the African American Studies department and Chicano Studies department and a number of student clubs, all this within the first week of this campaign. The Student Advocate Party is determined not to waste any time in establishing a working relationship with peers, faculty and administration. This will allow us to represent your interest and views to the faculty-and administration, and work with them to actually make changes. We, the Student Advocate Party, are determined to work on multicultural issues by reaching out to students, professors and department clubs. We wane to ensure that when multicultural programs are reviewed there is little doubt to the want and legitimacy of them. There are other overlooked departments and services as well on campus, including women's studies, the accessibility of the campus to the disabled, affordable opportunities for international study and charities. To those services and other, and to the students, the Student Advocate Party promises we will make every effort to find out what we can do to make the students' educational experience the greatest it can be. The Student Advocate Party would also like to take this opportunity to notify the students of their SGA constitutional right to representation from the SGA for any grievance they might have with faculty,

administration, or any organization or business on campus. As your representatives we want to facilitate any problems you might be having. We are going to work with the school to have an easy access e-mail, and a guaranteed response to your concerns. However, the Student Advocate Party wants to do more to reach out to students than just move an office or publicize more. Waiting for you to go to a Student Government representative is the most ineffective means of outreach no matter where the office is. It is time that SGA got out of the office and work with students in their clubs and departments to help make their college experience the best. This will allow students to meet and work with their representatives and is the easiest way to give them accessibility. The Student Advocate Party is the most diverse and open-minded party running. The candidates of the Student Advocate Party are professional in the real world, experienced student government representatives, active on campus, religiously as well as ethnically diverse, and are determined to be the most committed student representatives ever. We are not closed minded to other people's views because we know that we have to represent everyone on campus, whether or not you agree with us on an issue, your opinion is no less important than ours.

schoolers. According to the Center for Academic Integrity at Duke University, three quarters of college students confessed to cheating at least once. Professors need a lot of trust in their students to not cheat, in class or online. If a student is going to cheat, plagiarize, use crib sheets etc. they're going to do it regardless of monitoring. Profes.5ors need to be diligent in catching cheaters, most never get caught, but to also realize that cheating is something out of their control. Students who cheat, as trite as it sounds, are only cheating themselves.

Hedda Nussbaum talks about the abuse that ultimately killed her child

EJena Brown Tbe Metropolitan

After a decade of infamy, feelings of guilt, tragedy and rebinh, Hedda Nussbaum is making news again. This time she's fulfilling the pledge she made to Lisa, her slain 6-year-old adoptive daughter. Nussbaum spoke to a full room in the Tivoli on March 6 about her life as a victim of domestic violence and becoming a woman reborn. "In 1978, it was more like'domestic-what?'," she said. According to published reports, Nussbaum's husband, Joel Steinberg, was arrested and later convicted of beating Lisa to death. Nussbaum was implicated in the case, but never tried. Nussbaum, 59, spoke about the violence that consumed her life and ultimately put her and her family in the public eye. During 1988, she was probably the best-known battered woman in the world. Her bashed-in nose and off-kilter lips were familiar to millions of 1V viewers who watched her testify against her companion, Joel Steinberg, the Manhattan lawyer who was convicted of manslaughter in Lisa's death. "In the beginning, l did not think he was an abuser," she said. "He always seemed so sorry. I thought everything would get better." Nussbaum lost her job as the highest-paid senior editor at Random House Publishing for missing too many days. "It usually took two weeks for a black eye to heal," she said. So she became Steinberg's at-home Secretary and paralegal. She became isolated from family and friends, never leaving the house without permission. Even with the frequency of her beatings, she stayed and wanted children with Steinberg. After three years of trying to get

As the story of Hedda Nussbaum demonstrates, not only are all economic classes affected by domestic violence, but the children of victims and abusers, as well. "Sometimes it's hard to help your kids when you're having a hard time taking care of yourself," said Sarah 1Wolfgram, a children's advocate for Safehouse Denver. "I appreciate (Nussbaum's) courage." Wolfgram spoke on the subject of children and domestic violence on March 7 in the Tivoli Multicultural Lounge. As a children's advocate, Wolfgram works with both mothers and children to assist with the trauma experienced t.m an abusive situation. The main mission of the Safehouse children's program is to "provide a safe environment for children to experience_ meaningful participation in a group that addresses feelings, anger, conflict resolution, relationships and education about domestic violence," the Safehouse's mission statement says. ~ Despite Nussbaum's possible role in her daughter's abuse, Wolfgram said Nussbaum is a good role model for victims of domestic violence, and more specifically, victims who are also mothers.

.~Achieving goals Roadrunners win RMAC championship, proceed to regional tournament, prepare for second chance in Kentucky By Jennifer Youngman The Metropolitan

.,.,

If the Metro men's basketball team has a list of goals for the season, it's time to start checking them off. Two weeks ago, the Roadrunners earned the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference East Division regular season title. Last weekend the team won the RMAC Tournament at Denver University and the right to be host of the North Central Regional Tournament. Having the regional tournament on the home court this weekend is a huge advantage for the Roadrunners. Metro hasn't lost a game at the Auraria Events Center since January 1999 - a 23game winning streak. The Roadrunners like to play a quick-paced game. Couple that with Denver's high altitude, and coach Mike Dunlap said he knows his team can outlast others. Still, Dunlap takes nothing for granted. "(Holding regionals at home) was one of our goals, but it's done," Dunlap said. "Now we have to take advantage of that." The tournament starts March 9, but the Roadrunners have a first-round bye. They will either play South Dakota State or North Dakota on March 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Auraria Events Center. The Roadrunners have faced South Dakota State only twice, once in 1991 and again in 1998. Metro lost both times. Dunlap said South Dakota State would be tough competition, especially because of its recent success. "South Dakota State mowed a lot of people down at the end of the year," he路said.

In the only meeting with North Dakota, in 1990, the Roadrunners were on the losing end, 85-80. If Metro advances to the championship game on March 11at7:30 p.m., the team could see St. Cloud State, Wayne State or South Dakota on the court. The Roadrunners have not played St. Cloud State before, but 路hold winning records over Wayne State (1-0) and South Dakota (2-0) . If the Roadrunners win the regional tournament, the team will move on the Elite Eight in Louisville, Ky., during Spring Break, putting them three games shy of a national championship. With so much on the line, the Roadrunners are not apprehensive. "You don't get nervous, you get more路 intense," said junior Rashawn Fulcher. Dunlap said he doesn't think his team is feeling the pressure. "We felt pressure until we won the RMAC Tournament," he said. "Our guys are more relaxed today than ever."

How did they get there? The . Roadrunners earned the home-court advantage for the regional tournament by beating Mesa State in the RMAC championship game on March 4. Metro had a 10-point lead at half time and beat the Mavericks 82-66. The victory wasn't as impressive as the Roadrunners' earlier wins in the tournament. "We've won so many ways," Dunlap said. "We can win ugly, which we did Saturday." Senior forward Lee Barlow led the Roadrunners on both offense and defense. He made 24 points and eight boards against the

Mavericks, before fouling out. For his outstanding play against Mesa State, and a double-Oouble performance (22 points and IO ,rebounds) against Nebraska-Kearney the day before, Barlow was named the tournament's mo.st valuable player.

Fulcher strong off the bench Forward Rashawn Fulcher started in last year's Elite Eight tournament. This year, he's the leader off the bench. Fulcher had back-to-back strong performances in the final two games of the RMAC Tournament. He scored a team-high 23 points against Nebruka-Kearney and dropped in 13 against Mesa. "He's a confident player," Dunlap said. "While others are getting tired, he's just starting to move." Fulcher isn't bothered that he isn't part of the

starting five. He said he thinks of the advantages of it more than anything. "You get to see how the game is being played and how it unfolds," Fulcher said.

Abundant awards Barlow and teammate DeMarcos Anzures were named to the RMAC East-Division first team March 6. Senior Michael Alcock was an honorable mention. For the second time during his career with Metro, Dunlap was named RMAC coach-of-theyear. He has ltd the Roadrunners to threestraight 25-plus win seasons and a trip to the Elite Eight last year. Anzures was also named to the Daktronics NCAA Division II North Central All-Region Team. Last season, he was on the second team.

"The Colorado Christian game, because with that win, we could have had the home court advantage (in the first round of the RMAC), that win could have changed the outcome of our entire season," Carrillo said. '~d both Mines games that right there, since they were such a poor team ... and we could have hosted if we won both games and then lost to Christian." In the game at Colorado Christian, the Roadrunners took a six-point lead into the half and were out-shooting the Cougars 51.6 percent to 43.8 percent. In the second half, the Roadrunners fell apart, shooting poorly from the field (42.4 percent). Metro lost 80-75. Coach Mike Power was unavailable for comment, he is on a recruiting trip.

year in a row. Metro lost not only two guards, but also a forward, Kristen Weilder, who ranked third on the team in rebounds this season, averaging 4.9 a game. Despite losing 11 games this season and not advancing past the first round of the RMAC, the team scored some big wins against some of the top teams in the region, NebraskaKearney and Northern Colorado. The win against Northern Colorado in Greeley was the first time in the program's history that they went to Greeley and won. The wins against Northern Colorado and NebraskaKearney came early in the season., The two wins may have given the te;lffi a false sense of confidence for the rest of the season.
