The Student Facilities Bond Fee Referendum asked students for a $20.50 increase in their student fees. The bond fee passed with 64 percent of the 1,000 students campus-wide who voted April 10 and 11. Metro students approved the increase with 81 percent in favor of the increase fee and 19 percent against it. O:xnmunily College of Denver voters had 49 percent voting for the fee increase and 51 percent not in favor of the increase. The university of Colorado at Denver passed the facilities bond fee 60 percent to 40 percent. The money generated from the increased fee will go towards the renovations of the Tivoli, such as the replacement of the roof and asbestos removal, said Kerrie Dallman, representative on the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. The money will also benefit the Auraria Child Olre Center, by helping to keep the cost of child care down and the care of the children high, Dallman · said. The Auraria Events Center will also benefit from the increase by giving the center money to buy new equipment for the fitnes.s center.

Policebrieft Man exposes himself AMetro student told police she witnessed a man exposing himself as she walked to her car April 1. The student said she left school at 11:30 p.m. and was walking along Curtis Street towards her car. She glanced to her left and noticed a man with his shores pulled down around his ankles in Lot K. She said the man stood by his Dodge Caravan with his penis exposed but did not seem to notice her walking past. The student said she left the area quickly and notified the auendant in the booth at Lot H, where she had parked her car. The attendant notified campus police, who checked the area where the exposed man was last seen, but were unable to find anyone fitting the description the student had given. The student described the man as having brown hair, 6-feet-tall and in his 20s. Police noted in their report that Lot K is a<:cessible only by a debit card and there was nothing to indicate acar had driven over the curb.
Two brawl in Tivoli bar A fight erupted in the Boiler Room Bar between an employee of the bar and a patron April 2. Poke reports show a man who was in the bar at 11 p.m. began an argument over his bill with a server. The argument escalated and the men began to shove and punch each other. Police arrived at the bar and broke up the fight. Each of the men claimed that the argument turned physical because of the other. Police wrote both of them a citation for disorderly conduct and issued them a summons to appear in Denver County Court on May 3.
Police arrest student Police arrested a Metro student after they pulled him over and determined he was driving under the influence April 2. Police pulled the student over at midnight when he was driving west on Auraria Parkway leaving the lower down town area. Reports show he was driving erratically and speeding along the parkway. Police asked the 19-year-0ld student to take a roadside sobriety test. When he failed, police arrested him and escorted him to the Denver County Jail.

Growing up in foster care is a singular phenomenon. There are many ways to end up in foster care; abuse, abandonment, parents get sick or die and have no familial support system. There are many more ways to stay in foster care; not enough foster homes, overwori<ed and underpaid social workers, kids too old/handicapped/of color to be adopted, not enough money in the state
... I wony if I'm qualified, and wonder where my motivation is. To graduate budget. The reasons remain the same even after 20 years. The picture looks pretty bleak after emancipation from the foster care system, too. Foster children who turn 18 in-care are overrepresented among welfare recipients, prison inmates and the homeless, according to a National Cemer for Policy Analysis report, Web of Failure: the Relationship Between Foster
Care and Homelessness, a 1995 report funded by the National Alliance to End Homelessnes.s, found that homeles.s people with a history of foster care also stick their kids in foster care. Sixty percent of New York's homeless population are former foster children. Another study reports that 46 percem of foster children do not graduate from high school. Thirteen out of every 1,000 children in Colorado are in foster care, according to the 2000 KidsCount in Colorado. Bump that first number up to 25 in Denver proper. In fact, Colorado, the third most livable state in the U.S., has more children in foster care than any other state in the nation, except for one (we tied with .Minnesota, the first most livable). Those statistics put a litde tarnish on our fair city. I wonder if Coloradan's will cough up the moneyfor intervention services for foster kids. I'll just be happy if they hire some people to attend our graduations. Look .Ma! Pa! I graduated! Thanks for your support! This is Kizzy Glorified, swinging without a net off the nappiest edge. Ifanyone ofyou is interested in becoming a foster or adoptive parent, please contact Nikki McCaslin, 303.556.3390.

I have nightmares of Simone Charles being homeles.s in this The Nappiest robust economy. A few Edge momhs ago I saw a homeless man busting z:a's on the toilet in the women's bathroom in the Tech building (true story). life is giving me fear signs in real time as I worry if I'm qualified and wonder where my motivation is. To graduate. The usual suspects of motivators, family and societal pressure, are curiously missing. Society expects people like me to end up in jail, homeless or on welfare. And my parents, I guess they care .. . Well you see, here's the rub, I've got nine sets of parents, if you indude the three institutions, the combined U.S. Census of every tax-paying adult living between the years of 1976-1984, and my biological parents.

I will not tell vou her real name . I will tell you. that we lovingly call her "CrueUa." She has worked for the state for 17 years, fluctuating between departments, learning all Hektor Munoz the codes, the rules, the Mi Mundo procedures. She can undo and redo everything \\ith one button. When she became my supervisor, I tried to listen, to be a team player; I wanted to be productive in my work-study job. I wanted to understand and follow through on as.signments. We were never given a job description or any official training. Then, the insults began. Slowly at first, then a litde harsher; there were insinuations, allegations, innuendoes,· all of them suggest that I was not doing my job, that I was inept, unreliable. Every nowand then she would tell us about the suspicious disappearance of
some book or some papers, some theft that always seemed to go unreported and undocumented. So I would question my work, wondering if I was below standards. I spoke to the other work-studies, she had threatened and even
Then the insults began...insinuations, allegations, innuendoes... insulted some of them. That was when the realization hit me. Students are responsible for their actions; staff members at .Metro are not. Funny how that works. Ispoke to her supervisor and was told that there was nothing that could be done.
Outside of the department we were told that we should not bring negative attention into the lunelight. The students suffer to protect the image. \'Vhy is ~etro so eager to protect its state employees while sacrificing struggling students? How is ic possible that a state schoot with a purpose to provide us with an education and prepare us for the world is so uncaring about students and its rights? How is it possible that one staff member who is so negative descroys so many students, with .Metro behind them to boot? It is obvious that the staff is much more important than the students who pay to be here! Remember the good old days when a customer had rights? We are the customers and people like "Cruella" exist i~ every departmeht. .They exist all over campus. Beware! You may be the next sacrificial lamb! Participate! Live! Grow! Peace! Peace! Peace!

In response to the letter in a recent Metropolitan from Ken Cashion, I heartily agree with his comment about the shoo lights on Colfax Avenue and Llpan Street. The same is true a block away at Colfax Avenue and Kalamath Street. I walk with a cane (as a result of being struck by a hit-and-run driver in November 1998) and I find it impossible to take more than four or five step.s into the street at these intersections before the light changes • • • ... ..

again. By speeding up as much as possible I can manage to get to the median where I stand shaking in my boots until the light again turns green so that I can cross the rest of the way. Why can't something be done to change the setting on these lights so that pedestrians have a reasonable time to cross the streets safely? Not all of us have a death wish, you know. -Dorothy Hicks Metro alumna

Student trainer, Lori Steinmetz stands behind Willoughby and Julie RummelMancuso, assistant director of Campus Recreation gives instruction.
For 10 years Metro senior Sherri Valez, who has Cerebral Palsy, worked with physical therapists to improve her coordination and balance. Now she uses the Campus Recreation at Auraria's Physically Challenged Program. "They're better than any physical therapist I've ever had," she said. Ron Roe, Valez' domestic partner, said he saw her improve more in six months in the Physically Challenged Program than she did in the 10 years with her physical therapists. Valez said she thinks the personal attention she gets with the trainers helped her improvement. '路They work with you, and because they're always willing to help my balance and coordination improved more than I ever thought it would," Valez said. Participants go through a very elaborate application process that allows them to create their own goals. Valez works out for two hours a week.

Students studying recreational therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy work as trainers. "Some of our student trainers have disabilities, too," RummelMancuso said. The program helps those enrolled achieve a better quality of life, Rummel-Mancuso said, and trainers go through an intense training process before they begin working. Rummel-Mancuso said she wished she could accept everyone who applies for the program. "I take as many as possible, but I can't accommodate all the people," she said. Her other challenge is, keeping people motivated to continue working out, "just like all exerose professionals." Anyone who is physically challenged, even temporarily, can enroll in the Campus Recreation at Auraria Physically Challenged Program. The program offers assistance to any student, faculty or alumni. The program provides one-on-one personal training as well as recreational outings.

Eleven is the magic llumber for professional portfolios MENLO PARK, Calif., (U-Wire) - How many work samples should creative professionals include in their portfolios? Eleven, according to a recent survey of advertising executives, who also reported that they typically know whether an individual is qualified after viewing nine items. The survey was developed by The Creative Group, a staffing service that provides advertising, marketing, creative and web professionals on a project basis. It was conducted by an independent research firm and included responses from 200 advertising executives. "Since each piece in a portfolio can impact a hiring decision, samples should be chosen deliberately with careful thought to their value in demonstrating artistic and technical expertise," said Llz Hubler, executive director of The Creative Group. "It's
INSURANCE
also important to avoid the 'more is better' approach. A portfolio containing too many samples might appear less organized and professional than one that is targeted to the needs of the potential client." Hubler offered the following five tips for a powerful portfolio: • Keep it current - Pieces should generally be no more than three years old. • Inform your audience - Mark each item with the name of the client for whom .it was produced, your role in the project, software utilized, and a sentence or two describing the importance of the piece. • Choose your "top five" - You may not have sufficient time to highlight every piece in your portfolio during the interview.
MUTUAL FUNDS
TRUST SERVICES
Be prepared to describe five key items that best represent your skills and expertise. • Maintain a hard copy- Adigital portfolio is impressive, but always have a hard copy on hand, since many employers are still accustomed to reviewing printed, published materials. Be sure to bring extra copies of key samples that you can leave behind. • Preview your Web sites - Since Internet-based work often has a short shelf life, ensure your contributions are still present on any sites you'll be showcasing. If they're not, you should supply a high-resolution copy of what you produced. The Creative Group has offices in major markets across the United States and Canada, and offers online job search services at awww.creativegroup.com.

You can't miss the excitement in his voice as Frankie Sanchez speaks of his dreams. The words flow quickly from his mouth about the sport he loves. "Maybe I'll fight on HBO someday," Sanchez, 27, said, "or Pay-PerView." Sanchez, who is earning his Colorado Teacher's Certification arid Masters Degree through Metro and the University of Colorado at Denver, is currently 1-0 as a professional boxer. Last May he defeated his opponent with a knock-out in the second round, and he just signed with a promoter from Bay City, Mich., making his dreams even more real. Sanchez started boxing wh~n he was about 11 years old under the tutelage of both his father and his grandfather, who was the 1945 Southern Pacific Boxing Champion of the World, he said. "It's in my blood," Sanchez said. In his first three years as an amateur, Sanchez won three state and two regional Junior Olympic gold medals. After his 16th birthday, Sanchez took his shot at the open division of Olympic style boxing with the hope that he would earn an Olympic berth. While he won state and regional titles, he did not earn a spot on the Olympic team at the USA Boxing Championships. Instead, Sanchez turned his attention to school and wrestling. He earned a scholarship to Adams State and wrestled there while he earned his degree in History/Government. And though he believes that he could be where long-time friend Oscar de la Hoya is today, Sanchez said he doesn't regret his decision to go to school instead of pursuing his boxing career. "He chose a different road than I did," Sanchez said. "He went into professional boxing out of high school and I felt education was more important.'' Sanchez stresses that belief to every child he meets, whether it's
