By Ann Acker The Me1ropolitan
Diversity, fonTiing a community on campus and bringing issues to the students were the main topics at the second Student Government Assembly debate March '!!). Candidates for the 2000-2001 student government six>ke at two debates, one held on March 16 another on March '!!). The candidates brought forth their opinions, ideas and goals for the upcoming student government tenTI, if they are elected. Out of the 17 candidates running for 10 positions, 14 S!X)ke at the March 29 debate held at the flagix>le at 1:30 p.m. Two groups of candidates are running against each other with two independent candidates for the vice president of academic affairs, Todd Wittenberg, and an attorney general candidate, Jeremy Johnson. All
candidates addres.5ed the issue ofmaking Metro a community and not just a commuter campus. Presidential candidate, Stefanie Vassilaros, a member of the Student Em!X)WenTient ticket said the Student Government Assembly should get outside the offices to create a community within the campus. Vas.silaro5 said she would bring clubs together to work together as one and to make Metro the best school in the nation. Vassilaro5 is the current attorney general of the student government and said the student government needs to respect the opinions of the various people on the as.sembly. "Many people dropped out in the past because of the grades, we need to have asupport group, and help out with tutoring," Vas.silaro.s said. She said she would like to give students on campus a positive view of

Government elections to be held online By Ann Acker The Metropolitan
Students will be able to cast votes online in Metro's Student Government Assembly election next month. The~ site for online voting is www.mscd.edu, said Kari Tutwiler, as.sociate director of Student Activities. Computers are available in the Auraria library for students who do not have access to a computer otherwise. Voters will need their student ID numbers to participate in online voting. Election workers will be on hand at the library to help students who have problems or questions while voting online. Students will be able to begin voting at 8 a.m. on April 3. Voting ends at noon April 7. Voting online is "an example of the wonderful services that are possible with some collaborative efforts on campus," said ?.av Dadabhoy, director of Student Activities. Dadabhoy said the Election Commission, the Information Technology department and Student Activities worked on the online voting~ site since early January. The~ site co.st nothing to the student Election Commission, he said. "We are on the cutting edge of technology and Metro is keeping up with the technology initiative," Dadabhoy said. In last year's election, 635 students turned ouc to vote for the Student Government Assembly. Tutwiler and Dadabhoy said chey hope the convenience of the online program will entice more students to vote. '1t's nof a good idea," said Eric Highfield, a Metro biology major. "Not a lot of people have Internet access and it is not well known around campus." Metro student Lindsey Barnhart said voting online is a good idea because it would be easier for students to vote for the candidates of their choice. Dadabhoy said voter turnout will depend on the candidates who are running for office.
Most Metro students fail math classes ~
Placement testing now required for all students to enroll in math courses By Lisa Opsahl 7be Metropolitan
-ef
Sixty percent of Metro students flunk math. Because so many students fail, the math department now requires students to take a placement test before enrolling in general studies
math classes. Even if a student has passed Intermediate Algebra, a remedial math dass, the placement test is required, said Connie Novicoff of the Math Group Leaming Program. If students don't score high enough on the placement test, they must enroll in Group Learning. Group Learning is a study group that meets twice a week to review topics covered in class. "It's like a lab,'' Novicoff said. "It forces disciplined study time." Within the last few years fewer than 40 percent of students taking general education math clas.5es pas.sect. In the fall of 19<.)8 30 percent of students taking general studies math pas.sed. In the fall of 1999 39 percent pas.sed. "It just kept getting worse,• Novicoff said.
"We finally had to do something." Novicoff said the problem wasn't with Community College of Denver's remedial classes being too easy. "It didn't matter if students passed intenTiediate algebra with an Aor a C, they failed math anyway," Novicoff said. Novicoff said she worked with CCD to find out the root of the problem. It wasn't a particular intermediate profes.50r not teaching well. It wasn't CCD's curriculum. "I looked at the CCD syllabi and the courses should prepare Metro students for college algebra," Novicoff said The Metro math department has been working with CCD's math department to get more students to pa.s.s their math classes.
Harold Mardones, a CCD math profes.50r and coordinator for Metro students taking math classes at CCO, has been working with Novicoff, Charlotte Murphy the chair of Metro's math and computer science department and Levi Crespin the dean of the Center for Educational Advancement at CCO. Together, they are trying to solve the failure problem. Mardones said the number one problem with students is attitude. The second problem is attendance. . "We have about SO percent of Metro students who don't show up at all," Mardones said.

Policebrieft Metro student harassed
• DEBATES, from p. 3 thelll.5elves and of the school. "The administration needs to look at the students and the students need to bring their voices to the administration," Vassilaros said. "We need face-to-face contact between the administration and the students." Vassilaros said the student government members have to know the issues and make sure the students know the issues in order to bring the issues to the administration. "We have to know the issues and present the issues to the students," said Matthew Roberts a member of the Student Advocates ticket and presidential candidate. Seeing the old Tivoli AMC Theater rented out, the mulitcultural programs enlarged, the campus made more accessible to students with disabilities and to have the student government get out of the office and work with the students on campus are some of the things Roberts would like to see accomplished if he is elected. Respectability, professionalism and the ability to work together are three ideas he used to describe the goals he feels he has to be a good president of the student government. "We (the Student Advocates ticket) have long-term views, not just short-term views," Roberts said. Not letting members get burned out, every member working together as a whole and to all have respectable working relationships v.~th each member are the goals he has for retaining the entire student government for the year~ong term, Roberts said. Implementing a comments section on the Metro Web site where if a student leaves a question, the student government will return a response, guaranteed, Roberts said. The assembly has to know the issues themselves and then explain the issues simply to the students to get input back and then present the issues to the administration with the students, he said. Unopposed candidate Tracy Rhines a member of the Student Empowerment ticket, vice president for administration and finance candidate said we need to set up a network between dubs and organiz.ations so the student government can bring everyone together and solicit opinions from the students. "Me joining SGA - I can have a positive effect to make things better, Metro can be the best college in Colorado," Rhines said. He said he would like to set up a network between cluhs and organiz.ations so the student government can bring everyone together and solicit opinions. "Everyone on campus has power, (and) can use that power to get things done," Rhines said. "I Want people to understand, we (Student Empowerment ticket) are not just blowing hot air up your butt," Rhines said. "We want to get into office, stay in office, (and) plan to fulfill the commitment to the students." "We (the Student Empowerment ticket) believe the spirit on this campus can increase," Rhines said. "People need to feel comfortable co come down here and feel a sense of

Getting students informed about the various issues was also a topic of concern for unoppcmi candidate Chad Dierking - Student Advocates, vice president for campus communications, said getting student involvement is important to empower students to get things clone. 'To actually get better relationship.c; with the administration," Dierking said, "is to get students involved." He said in order to bring issues to the students he would challenge people to the issues and get committees to work together. "Every student is affected by the issues, we have the power to educate them" said unoppnsed candidate Emily Newman, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board representatives on the Student Advocates ticket. "\Xe must be vocal, we must be loud and aggressive," Newman said. Candace Farmer - Student Empowerment, vice president for academic affairs candidate, said she would talk to students and go to
organiz.ations. "If we can work together, we can push for what we want," Farmer said. "We are here to learn." Ronald Luton · Student Advocates, vice president for academic affairs candidate, said in order to gather input from students about academic he would utiliz.e the things that are already out there, for example the suggestion box where students can write questions and there input on various issues. Making sure minorities are represented in every curriculum as well as making sure people know how to make sure people with disabilities and minorities feel comfortable on campus, are things Luton would like to accomplish ifelected, he said. unoppcmi candidate John Stair - Student Empowerment, vice president for student fees, said through the Metro Web site, bulletin boards, and having his e-mail address available, he can better inform students about the issues. Stair also said he would talk to the administration concerning fees to better inform the students. Jeremy Johnson - Independent candidate,

"Metro is the most diverse college in the state of Colorado, and we need to expose that." Scott said. The recent troubles with the African-Amencan Studies and Chicano Studies department has been a threat to the diverse curnculum at Metro, she saie. "When this happens we must look at it analytically and look where we are going With it. We have come so far," Scott said "but now we are going back in time." She said updating the textbooks used in das.ses and updating the current curnculum will help increase diversity within Metro. 'There is a tapestry of knowleclge, talent, (and) abilities, ifyou see that in yourself, you car embrace that," said Nicholas Delmonico - Student Advocates, vice president for diversity. "We need to establish more than starus quo," Delmonico said. "It starts small, litde by litde, for long lasting change." Matt Mahutga, Metro student, individualized major, asked a question to the candidates on the issue of recent attacks on the African American studies, and the Chicano studies program. He asked the candidates, "How can we count on student body government to give students a voice in this issue?" Candidate Jennifer Smith - Student Advocates, Vice president for student services has been working on saving the African American studies program as the current vice president of student services. She said she has gonen 12 pages of signatures from the srudent body to keep the program running. "We need to creare communication between d1e department and the student body government." Smith said if she is elected for another term that she would plan another "Meet Your Student Government Day" as well as working on the other projects she has started thl'i year. "I would like to be more out in the open, have office hours at night and on the weekends," said candidate Alphonso Gonzales - Student Empowermen~ vice president for srudent . Unopposed candidate Raaki Garcia-Ulan1 Student Advocates, vice president for srudent organizations said she has already talked to the various student organizations on campus. 'There are 91 organizations on campus, which is exciting for me to know." Metro student Annie Fulton, speech communications major with an emphasis on early childhood education, attended the debate on
March 29. Fulton said she liked hearing about the issue of community unity at the debate. "We need to increase community unity on campus, (and) have it feel like a real school." Karen Raforth, interim associate vice president of Student Services and dean of Student Life, also anended the debate. Raforth said being on the student government is not an easy job, it is a difficult but prestigious position. Rafonh said the

candidates represent a democracy and are a very imponant because the administration relies on the scudent government and it's members for not only their input but the student input they are suppose to solicit.

Students don't support student services The week after Spring Break is like a scene out of Dante's Divine Comedy, not funny.
This time of year I usually make my hysterical way towards the Tutoring Center, the Counseling Center, the Writing Center or any place that can help me out of my academic bind.

I was reading Amber Johnson's article in the March 17 Metropolitan: "Sexy Jennifer Lopez has nothing on Nancy Reagan," nodding my head and generally agreeing with the editorial comparing Jennifer and Nancy, and talking about Women's History Month. Suddenly, I was brought up short by her assertion that "&minists look down on women who chose to stay at home and raise their children, because somehow, chat's not furthering the cause for women. Not true." Not true indeed! My first reaction was that a Jerry Falwell quote must have been mistakenly

"feminists" ever told Johnson that your mothers' work in the home was not valued? If you believe that "feminists"disrespect or dishonor the work that your mother or any other women does in the home or anywhere . else, then the tactics which have been used for the last 5,000 years to keep women divided are still working - overtime! As a Metro alumna and as someone who considers herself a feminist, I know you never heard that put down of women's work in any women's studies course on this campus. While there are many definitions of
1913, "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." Johnson should you choose the opportunity of Women's History Month to learn a little more about feminism, she might find that her own women-honoring values and the values of most "feminists" are the same. - Mary Emmetl Metro English Department, AdmimsJrative Assistant

You can hear the groans in every corner of the State when you say the letters CPP. the State's new pay for performance scheme known as Colorado Peak Performance has been in a three-year, phase-in mode since 1996. the phase-in period has already been extended once until 2001 and would you believe there still is no workable solution to how it will be adequately, or consistently, funded? One thing is clear, the money that is available is not going to be enough. Given the fact, prompting employees to think about how much money they will be awarded in an underfunded system is about the last strategy to use .if we care about attracting or retaining creative and high-performing employees, especially in a new digitized government/economy. There is always a struggle when attempts are made to bend the state's workforce to fit into corporate models. Pay for performance schemes are a by-product of the corporate
(big money) corporations have the most success with P4P. The difference is that government is always trying to "do more with less" and corporations have the ability and the money to "do more with more." It makes sense that corporations can easily link rewards to critical business measures in areas such as revenue growth, cost management, financial performance and shareholder value. It makes sense that corporations have the ability to share bonom-line profits through lucrative stock options and bonus/tncentive programs with the people that helped create those profits - its employees. Conversely, state government's only "revenue" is tax-related. Citizen satisfaction and quality are areas that government can measure and link to performance of employees, but more difficult co reward in a meaningful way unless someone comes up with a creative way co turn the tax surplus into stock options or bonus programs.
begin to re-think how they attract and retain workers. With highly-skilled boomers moving on to retirement or other higher-paying jobs, a questionable state compensation plan and reward system that is seriously underfunded is likely to be as attractive to new blood as garlic to vampires. Aside from personal choice, what attracts people to work for state government has been a stable compensation system that is fair. Once that stability and fairness is no longer offered, the attractiveness · of government work as a career fades quickly. CPP is bad public policy and threatens the quality of our extraordinary quality of life here in Colorado. Reinstate a modified anniversary system, retain the boomers as long as you can say "thank you" once in a while. Now that would indeed be a bonus that is cost neutral.

n the basement of a smoke-forbidden bar on the west side of Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, 12 people gathered to hear Ron Miles preach. The pulpit was a black metal stand. The deacons - a drummer, two guitar players, a bass player, keyboardist and a slide guitarist - sat quietly in the background. The sermon: Jazz - Ron Miles style. "This next tune doesn't have a title," Miles told the audience, who

"It would be interesting to be in a place where I'm not a racial minority." The most important audiences to the 36-year-old musician, however, are local. "The music is from here," said the East High School graduate. "There is an understanding that I don't even think we're conscious of. we all have some similarity in our upbringing. It's been great to go to Europe and Asia, but I would just as soon play clubs around here."

strained to hear the soft-spoken trumpet player, standing in front of the room wearing a navy blue suit with a crisp starched white shin. The rest of his band, the Elektet, wore faded corduroys, jeans, and button-up work shins. "But it reminds me of Keith Jarrett, so¡we call it that Keith tune until we come up with a title for it." Th~ audie~ce laughed. Miles bowed his head as sounds from a syntheslZed gmtar filled the room with swirling torrents of sound. The spirit moved him as he gently nodded his head to the driving beat. "It's the sound of music," he said. "I like to hear it. I can't describe it in words." He placed his custom-made Monet ~rumpet to his lips and, like a Pentecostal preacher, began spreading the word, softly at first- a lone note navigating an ocean of sound - leading to a fervor of musical ecstasy. Miles leaned back, looking like a bald kokipelli, as the trumpet screamed a series of notes. After Miles and his Elektet bring the audience to the promised land. they guide it back down. ending with a drawn out note. barely speaking through the electronic hum of amplifiers. Silence. The audience exploded in a hailstorm of applause. '"Thank you," Miles said, looking like a shy teenager, meeting his crush for the first time. ''Thank you." For Miles, Metro professor for 11 years, jazz is not only an important part of his life, but a vital part of society. "It's gocx:l for our national cultural identity," he said. "Sometimes in academia, we can be so Eurocentric. This country has been around long enough that we have a musical history. Also growing up, you never hear about black history. You hear about the Emancipation Proclamation, Martin Luther King and sometimes George Washington Carver. They seem like isolated events. Jazz is something that gives us a degree of respect, contributing to the American identity. It's something everyone can participate in." Miles spreads the gospel of jazz around the world, playing in

as a band leader. The CD Trio features Miles ongmal work with Denver jazz fixtures Eric Gurinison on piano and Kent Mclagan on bass. Trio is the first recording of classic style jazz since his first recording Distance for Safety, released in 1987. "It was a little bit different because we recorded it in a basic way, using only two microphones," he said. "We also recorded it in analogue and transferred it co digital. I like the sound of analogue a lot, and one day it might come out on vinyl." Within the next few months, Miles will be back in the studio recording another CD. "I can generally get a CDlogether in about six months," he said. "I don't have a for~ula for writing. Each time I rack my brain and ;,.ork it out on the piano. Eatj1 time I think 'this will be my last song."' Miles said he often writes songs around a sentence or a series of words. "I've been influenced a lot from spirituals. One song I just . . started with a s i m p I e sentence, 'Jesus loves me,' and wrote around that. I never write words into the songs. I would be afraid to hear them. "People write original songs, but they sound like old songs," he continued. "I miss that in music. Hopefully, that's where we're filling in the gap a bit."

Metro professor releases fifth CD •MILES, from p.15

Miles wrote his first song when he was a freshman in college. "It was really simple and predictable," he said. "The literary equivalent would be the story where you get through it and find out at the e.nd of the story it's a dream." Aprofessor Miles had while attending school at the Manhattan School of Music saw his talent and urged him to continue writing. Later, Miles met a record producer who was interested in his music. "They told me they already had Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione," he said. "They couldn't take on another trumpet player. I thought, 'if you have Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione, what would you want with me?' It was pretty flattering." In 1992 Miles began playing with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Two years later he began touring Europe and the United States with guitarist Bill Frisell's quartet. Miles first began playing the trumpet when he was 11 years old. "My mom taught summer school, so she needed something for us to do," he said. "I was really into pop at the time, but there wasn't room for trumpeters." Miles bought his first jazz album in 1977. "I liked the sounds of the instruments," he
said. "It grooves and flows at the same time." Miles blends the pop he loved as a boy with jazz, funk and even country in his songs. Llfe as a college professor also provides inspiration for Miles. "My mother was really into learning," he said. "She went back to college when she was older. We would all go to college and sit in class with her. Already I was around college students and in the environment. "I like teaching for three reasons," he continued. "First, for practical reasons, it's a job. But I like the idea of exchanging knowledge. As a teacher, you're not giving knowledge you're exchanging knowledge. And if I wasn't around here, I probably wouldn't leave the house. I would just sit around playing music all clay. Which wouldn't be all that bad. It's good for me when I sit by myself and write. I don't worry about what other people think." Miles cradled his trumpet in his arms. "Thanks for coming out tonight," he said. "We would like to· play one more song," he said. "It's called Good Night." After the song, the faithful and the converted approached the altar gathering around Miles. The band members packed their instruments in cases. The sermon, for now, was over.

Senior DeMarcos Anzures, the first first-team All-American in school history, signs a Roadrunners sign for a fan at the rally March 28 honoring the Metro men's basketball team. About 2,000 fans gathered at the flagpole in the center of campus to celebrate the Roadrunners' NCAA Division II national championship win over Kentucky Wesleyan. Behind Anzures, freshman Patrick Mutombo proudly holds the championship trophy.
March 31, 2000
It's finally beginning to sink in. The Metro men's basketball team could barely fathom that it was the NCAA Division ll national champion hours after defeating Kentucky Wesleyan, 97-79, on March 25. But three days later, at a rally honoring the team's accomplishments at the Auraria campus flagpole, the Roadrunners began to see it. "Looking at the T-shirts they're selling, just those cwo words on them, 'National· Champions,' it really helps," junior center Kane Oakley said. Oakley scored a career-high 21 points in the title game against Kentucky Wesleyan and sec a new single-season record for blocked shoes with 60 this year. About 2,000. fans met the Roadrunners at the flagpole on March 28 where representatiyes from Gov. Bill Owens' and Mayor Wellington Webb's offices declared March 28 Roadrunners Men's Basketball Day. Metro sophomore Kevin Dawkins, who proclaims himself the Roadrunners' No. 1 fan, was in the crowd. He said he's been to every Metro home game in the past two years and is very proud of the basketball team's effort. "They were ranked No. 1 in the beginning and finished No. 1," Dawkins said. "It's all. from outscanding team effort and fortitude." Another reason the roadrunners

Overheard at the rally celebrating the Roadrunners' NCAA Division II national title:
finished No. 1 is coach Mike Dunlap. Dunlap came to Mecro after the Roadrunners' 13-13 finish in the 199697 season. In his first year, che Roadrunners won 25 games. Afcer chree years leading che program, Dunlap's record is 86-15, an 85 percent success rate, and he is the coach of a national championship team. Senior DeMarcos Anzures, who was a part of the 13-13 squad four years ago and is now che only firsc-ceam AllAmerican in school history, realizes how much Dunlap brought to Metro. "I never thought it would happen," Anzures said of winning the national championship. "Then Coach Dunlap walked in. It's really special to be a part of building this tradition." Dunlap, who was named National Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, won't take the credit for the Roadrunners' success. "(The players) are the most important pan," Dunlap said. As the rally ended the players were signing everything from basketballs to newspapers to T-shirts. Dawkins was right in the middle of the action getting Anzures' autograph when he said, "Don't forget to put AllAmerican on it." The Roadrunners are hoping that the fans won't forget about them next year. "Hopefully they can come out when it matters," Dunlap said, "but we understand the nature of the beast."

This time, the Metro baseball team was in California, and for the first time in four years the Roadrunners did not lose a game or leave the state with a losing record. Instead, the team left California with a 4-0 record. Metro has had a habit this season of trailing late in games then coming back in the final few innings to win the game. "Not necessarily the comeback kids," senior Dana Reichers said. "We need put it .- together early, we have been pretty fortunate to be able to come back, and we are a good team that way." The first come back was against California State University Stanislaus. Trailing 3-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Metro scored two

Roadrunners split series with New Mexico Highlands to open RMAC fashion 9-8 and the second game 6-1. Carlson said he thought the team could have won all four games. "I was pretty disappointed," Carlson said. '.'Just simply because we dominated the entire first game, and in the sixth and the seven~h we gave up a little bit, we didn't play very good defense. "That was the big problem. If we would have played solid defense, we would have won all four."
