Lawmakers target higher ed. By Lois Wymore 7be Metropolitan

4wmakers passed and Gov. Bill Owens signed several new laws that will affect students attending Colorado colleges. The specifics of a law passed in 1996, which bases public funding on school performance, caused endless debate. House Bill 1464 by Rep. Debbie Allen, R-Aurora, mandated assessment testing and clarified remedial education, and Senate Bill 186 by Norma Anderson, R-Lakewood, mandated assessment testing for all sophomores in all Colorado colleges. Appropriations will continue for the nursing grant program, and rural areas got a distance education boost. College administrators worked diligently with the Colorado Commission on

Higher Education to develop quality indicators. Seventy-five percent of state education dollars will now be tied to how well schools fare in performance tests. That puts Colorado ahead of the national trend to base public funding on quality indicators, which is supposed to ensure accountability to the tax payers. "Faculty might not be receptive to the change but more importantly it is now the law and everyone is doing their best to comply and implement these changes," said Christine Johnson, director of policy and planning for Colorado community colleges. Other significant changes are the result of House Bill 1464, according to Jeanne Adkins, CCHE director of policy and planning. The law implements required standardized entrance testing for all freshmen. As many as one-third of all

1,338路graduate Metro By Peny Swanson 1be Metropolitan

Metro honored a record 1,338 graduates in a ceremony at Currigan Exhibition Hall in Denver on May 14. Friends and family packed the hall to congratulate the graduates. The degree programs with the greatest number of graduates were criminal justice and criminology, behavioral sciences, psychology, computer information systems and history. That the ceremony fell on Mother's Day held special meaning for Craig Sisneros, who earned a degree in business. He was raised by a single mother and worked through poverty and chronic illness most of his life. This fall, Sisneros expects to begin pursuing a Ph.D. in accounting. "I couldn't have gotten where I

about, not just work in." Twenty-one percent of the graduates were ethnic minorities. The youngest graduate was 19, and the oldest 63.

Around 30 pastors from the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance along with the representatives of the Colorado Progressive Coalition gathered at the state capitol May 16 to demand Gov. Bill Owens stop the racial and gender discrimination in state contracting. uwe are calling on all segments of this community to join in protesting the Colorado state government's total exclusion of the African American community in state contracting awards and employment opportunities in highway construction," Reverend Willie Simmons, pastor from the Central Baptist Church said. Reverend Patrick Demmer, president of the Greater Metro Ministerial Alliance said a disparity study was commissioned by the state and funded by the legislature to determine if state contract were determined fairly in 1996. The task force found that no contracts were awarded from 1992 until 1995 to black owned businesses. They found that women represent SO percent of available firms but received less than 2 percent of state contract dollars. It was also learned that the Colorado Department of Transportation awarded 99 percent of all contracts under $500,000 to white male owned businesses. "These statistics reveal a disturbing trend of systemic discrimination against women and black owned businesses," said coalition representative Janet Damon. The Ministerial Alliance is calling for religious and political leaders along with the community to join the Coalition and demand Gov. Owens remain accountable to the goals of the Disparity Study Resolution Task Force. The groups said Gov. Owens disbanded the task force and has not done anything to end discrimination in awarding state contracts.

Lawma·kers attack remedial education • HIGHER m. BILL, from p.3 freshmen students are not prepared to function at a college level. The success rate of students who complete remedial course work is far greater than students who do not. The law also requires students to complete the remedial course work during their first two years of college. "College costs, no matter who's paying the bill, are an expensive proposition," Adkins said. She said the state spends about $19 million per year on remedial education, and it was even more

expensive in the long run for the state to subsidize the classes that had to be repeated because the students were not able to complete them. The hope is Jeanne Adkins that if all levels of education can see where they need to improve during the next three to four years, the amount of dollars spent will drop significantly and students can finish their education in four years, Adkins said.

"This ties into the sophomore testing program," Adkins said. "High schools can then look at the information and see areas that they need to improve," Sophomore testing was attached to the K-12 education reform bill. Six community colleges and four four-year schools took part in the pilot test this year. The schools were Fort Lewis, University of Colorado at Denver, Mesa State, Northeastern Community College, Pikes Peak Community College, Otero Community College, Red Rocks Community Colleges and the University of Northern Colorado. About 40 percent of sophomores at these schools took the

test. The commission made a change in criteria for state merit scholarships by raising the minimum GPA from 2.5 to 3.0.

"We believe that the legislature wanted these monies disbursed based on high academic standards and merit. We think merit should be just that," Adkins said. Adkins said funding was extended on the nursing grant program again this year. The commission will be looking into ways of 'debt forgiveness' when nursing students go to rural areas to practice. In the need-based category the Governor's Opportunity Scholarship was continued for another year to college freshmen and continues for some sophomores who started the program last year. Those are based on the families' income. Freshmen students with family incomes below the $26,000 poverty standard qualify. "Over 400 students received this scholarship," Adkins said adding, "Not everyone succeeded, but the rate far exceeded our best estimates." Adkins said. Good news for rural communities came with an $800,000 appropriation to develop partnerships with community colleges and regional four-year institutions to provide upper division classes. This enables students to pursue bachelor's degrees p~ograms from where they live. To date Trinidad, Otero and Lamar community colleges in conjunction with Adams State College will begin offering degree in education and business this fall. "We found that the access to community college and lower divisions is pretty much accessible all over the state," she said. "Many people have associate · degrees, but they can not afford to move to continue their educations." Adkins said rural areas are in need of people with college degrees. In professions like teaching and business rural regions suffer and are dependent on people coming in with those skills. This is one way for the commission to fulfill part of its mission and make opportunities accessible to rural students. The grant allows students to complete their programs doing course work through a variety of methods. "Internet, live teleconferencing and the use of onsite faculty will be .used to offer classes," she said, sharing the commissions excitement over this new program.

Denver community finds hope police briefs Caterer's van stolen with neighborhood teacher By Peny Swanson The Metropolitan

There's 路a rule about knocking on Angie Acosta's door at 3 a.m. Don't expect her to answer right away. Late night visitors must at least wait for her to get dressed and put on some makeup, she said. Acosta lives in the Quigg Newton housing project in north Denver. Many residents of the neighborhood speak only Spanish, and it's not uncommon for them to come knocking to ask Acosta to translate with English-speaking police officers. Other times, they need help with health issues, immigration paperwork or other things. The contacts became so frequent recently that Acosta had to have her phone number changed. Still, even as Acosta raises her voice just a bit and puts her hands to the sides of her head, she can't hide her compassion and affection for the people she works with. "Sometimes it's like I don't want to deal with this anymore," she said. "But I can't say no to them. It's nice, but sometimes I want to have a peaceful weekend." Acosta helps run a training program for mothers with young children. Once a week, participants bring their children to the Quigg Newton Community Center.

Metro Internet usage increases By Peny Swanson The Metropolitan

More than a third of Metro students are using the Internet to register for classes - a big increase compared to when Internet registration began two years ago. On May 22, eight days before summer classes were to begin, 36 percent of students who were taking summer classes used the college's Web page to register. The most popular method of registration remained the telephone voice response system, at 54 percent. About 10 percent of

students used other methods to register, such as having an academic adviser do it for them. When online registration began in spring 1998, about 12 percent used the service, said Metro registrar Tom Gray. The college hopes to see about half of students using the Web for registration, Gray said. The number of students who had registered for summer classes on May 22 was 4,786. The number for fall classes was 5,516. The college does not track where students access the Web page, such as

at home or in a campus computer lab, Gray said. But he said the advantage of Web registration is that it can be done from anywhere that has Internet access.

The owner of the Gourmet Alternative catering service called police after his van vanished May 1. Police responded to a call from the caterer, located on the North side of the Tivoli, at 1 p.m. The owner said an employee of his parked the van 15 minutes prior and left the keys in the ignition with the doors unlocked. The employee was filling the van with supplies for a party later that afternoon. He said his employee had already filled the van with 375 dinner plates worth an estimated $2,000. .The van was nowhere to be found when he left the Tivoli with the last set of plates. The owner told police the white Chevy van with the name of the caterer on the side was worth $12,000.

Phone, packs stolen Students and staff reported numerous thefts of their property during the month of May. A Metro staff member told police someone entered her office while she was out and stole her purse May 9. She said she put her backpack, containing her purse, in a file cabinet in her office. When she returned to retrieve her belongings later that day the bag was gone. Reports show a student found the bag abandoned near a door in the west classroom and turned it over to the police. Her purse containing her identification and credit cards was missing. A University of Colorado at Denver student told police her backpack turned up missing after she left it unattended on the grass outside of the North Classroom May 13. She said she left the pack on the grass briefly to go into the building and use the bathroom. When she returned it was gone. The bag contained her cell phone, worth $90, and her purse. A Metro employee told police someone entered her unlocked office and made off with the zip drive connected to her computer May 15. The employee said the door to her office was left open between May 8 and May 15 and the public had access to the office at that time. The Iomega Zip drive was worth $120 ..

State standardized test steals from poor

Dear Editor, Somewhere along the line as a college student, a successful product of public education, I must have missed something. Here I thought our teachers, our experts who train to become educators, would know what's best four our children, but as Senate Bill 186 pontificates, it is our politicians our government officials - who have suddenly become the experts. SB 186, which Governor Owens signed into law, focuses on educational reform. The bill will hold the educators and the schools accountable for their students' performance on a new standardized test known as the Colorado Student Assessment Program, or CSAP for short. The bill not only bases everything on a single test, it is constructed from a flawed logic that will ultimately hinder- not improve - education in Colorado. The CSAP, which is the foundation for the entire reform, has inescapable flaws which should cast serious doubts on the reform itself. One quarter of the test is made up of essay or short answer

Letters Policy

questions, which adds a considerable amount of subjectivity to the grading process. Further, the state standards to which every student is compared have been set by a group of educators, adding to the subjectivity involved in the CSAP. Subjectivity aside, not every student will have the same testtaking abilities. Some students, no matter how well they know the material, simply cannon translate that knowledge into high test scores - but then again, the politicians should already know that, because they are supposed to be the experts. The entire reform is built on a flimsy foundation, and the structure is built around seriously flawed logic. The incentive based system of funding the highest scoring schools and possibly converting the failing schools into charter schools is the reverse of what we should be doing. The lower scoring schools are the schools that need the most assistance, and the higher scoring schools have obviously been doing just fine without the extra funding. In addition, there is an obvious

correlation between poverty and low test scores. The impoverished schools truly need the funding. There was a lesson to be learned in Robin Hood: He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Somewhere along the line thepoliticians got it backwards, but that couldn't be - they're the experts when it comes to education, right? Our politicians, the selfdeclared experts on education, have managed to build a reform with a shaky foundation and a structure of backward logic. The CSAP should not be the only determining factor in the reform. No test can appraise every aspect of a student's education, yet, that is exactly what our politicians are counting on. Funding should be used to assist the schools that need the most help; it shouldn't be used as reward money. The bottom line is that we should pay close attention to our teachers and educators when they criticize SB 186. After all, when it comes to our children, they are the real experts. - Ryan Powell Metro student

Rafael Reyes, left, rides home from Metro In April with his cousin and her son. Reyes Is a part of a Metr& based program that helps college students whose famllles are migrants and seasonal agricultural workers.

Returning home It took $125, paid to a smuggler, and then a trek hundreds of miles from southern Texas to northern Colorado. That was 1970, when Rafael Reyes started a process that would pull his family from a poor and seemingly hopeless life in Mexico. Now, after his family has lived on-and-off in the United States for 30 years, one of Reyes' sons wants to return home. In the beginning, Reyes worked on farms and construction sites in Brighton, Fort Lupton and Greeley. He occasionally returned to Mexico for months at a time to work the farm the family still maintains there. Gradually, Reyes brought his wife and children to the United States. By 1981, the entire family were legal residents. Reyes said he is proud of his son, also named Rafael, who is first in the family to attend college. The younger Reyes is a freshman at Metro. Despite the years of work it took to bring his family here, Reyes is also proud that his son wants to return to Mexico to work the farm. The family never left behind the Mexican culture, and Reyes said he, too, would like to return to live in Mexico. "We don't want to lose the traditions because our grandparents worked for the land, and it wouldn't be right to just give it up," the younger Reyes said. Reyes, 19, started at Metro in spring 2000 with 10 other students in

"By building confidence, acclimating them to the campus environment, giving them the academic skills and study skills, then they can enhance their experience in college." The program, called CAMP, pays for tuition and books for the first year of college and provides a monthly stipend of $225. Funding comes from a $1.5-million grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Migrant Education. To qualify, participants must come from low-income families where at least one member has done agriculture-related work for at least 75 days. That could mean anything from picking produce in fields between Denver and Greeley to working in a food packing plant. It's frequently the parents who take these traditional migrant labor jobs, but some students, including Reyes, have also done such work. The students must also be the first in their families to attend college. A study of CAMP participants

Finding history among the dead Story and photos by Jaime Jarrett

Cliff Dougal is a minority where he works. He's still living. A round man with a boisterous laugh, Dougal is the manager at Riverside Cemetery, located in north Denver county. He cruises around the 77 acres in a golf cart pointing at various headstones, bragging about the people buried there like they are his children. "You have to love history to love this job." Dougal said. "I see a lot of history here. This is a little town outside of town."

Sarah 'Sadie' Morehouse Likens, Denver's first police matron, was buried in 1920. She was buried for 80 years before a headstone was placed at her gravesite. Her children, who are buried next to her, still don't haw headstones. Riverside Cemetery looks much the same as it did a hundred years ago. The emerald lawn is neatly trimmed to the headstones. Large cottonwood trees sigh as a breeze moves through them. The air is still, save for the mourning doves cooing softly, chattering over the marble slabs and statues that litter the ground.

only a small fla.t stone marking her final resting place. Walking down the west side of the cemetery, following the South Platte, most of the stones are not in English. Here rest the Russians, the Italians, the Greeks, the Chinese and Koreans, all those that immigrated to Denver over the years. "You have a cemetery here that cares for all, the rich, the poor and the indifferent," Dougal said. â&#x20AC;˘ Towards the back you rest the paupers, the prostitutes and the homeless that welfare had Âˇto bury. They are marked with small cement stones, some inscribed with only a first name.

f.A Sloan, aka Nicholas Trainer, robbed the Denver Mint in 1922. He is one of many who are buried in an unmarked grave at Riwrside. Dougal stopped the cart at what he calls the tree of

life. It's a headstone for Thomas Bower. It stands about 5 feet high, carved to look like the bottom half of a tree.

Like many other pioneers, Lester Drake came to Colorado seeking gold. Drake died in 1889 and was buried in Riverside in a grave marked with an ornate, solid sandstone car11ed reproduction of his cabin in Black Hawk. Riverside, Denver's oldest operating cemetery was founded in 1876; the same year Colorado became a state. It was formed by a group of citizens in an effort to provide "a suitable burying ground in the best Cliff Dougal, the manager at Riverside Cemetery, has been possible location with picturesqueness and in the cemetery business for more than 34 years. beautiful natural scenery." John L. Dailey, co-founder of the Rocky Mountain The story starts under the name; it's a clean slate, to the News, was buried at Riverside in 1908; the funeral was left is a bale of wheat and a sickle, the head of the family said to be the largest in Denver history. Dailey brought a was a farmer, to the left again is a tree branch cut down, printing press across the prairies to Denver in 1858 to he sold his crops, and finally, to the left again, is carved the buildings that were built with his crops. And all start the News. Riverside is indeed picturesque. So much that one entwined on this tree is a long strand of unbroken ivy, forgets the cemetery is sandwiched between the South which symbolized Bower had a long life. Platte River, one of Public Service's coal burning power Colonel James Archer introduced gas powered lights plants and, ironically, a Tombstone Pizza production to Denver in 1871 by building the first gas works in the city. Archer also built the first piped water system and plant.

'.l\unt" Clara Brown was buried at Riverside in 1885. Born a slaw, she earned her freedom and came to Central City in 1859 where she worked as a laundress. Still poor herself, Brown took in needy black people who also came to Colorado. She was made the first black member of the Colorado Pioneer Association, which paid for her funeral. Riverside is the final resting-place for66,528 souls, and a thousand or so of those have no headstone. It has dead from the Civil War, the Korean War, World War I , II, and the Vietnam War. There are children and pets buried side by side. It has a couple thousand bodies that were moved from the Denver City Cemetery when it was rezoned and made into what we know as Cheesman Park.

Augusta Tabor, first wife of the Silver King, Horace Tabor, was abandoned in death as she was in life by Horace when he left her to marry Baby Doe. Augusta was laid to rest at Riverside while Horace and Baby Doe are at Mount Olivet in Golden. Augusta, who once was able to buy nothing but the best, has

founded the Denver City Water Company. He was buried at Riverside in 1882 after his death at the Wagon Wheel Gap. There is wear and tear on the headstones, mostly from age and weather. A few vandals have damaged them here and there. An angel stands on top of a stone block, her right

arm, the one that once extended to heaven, has been broke off at the elbow. The angel was damaged by vandals in 1984, one of the few stones that have been damaged by vandals over the years. It ~ put up for Marie Contassot, a courtesan, who was murdered in ~ 1894 on Market Street. . Riverside has had its share of controversy throughout the years. From the rumors that the coffins wash down the Platte River when the river gets high, to the 1920 headline that read, "Ring rules hooch world from Riverside graveyard!" Of course evidence was never found for either of the myths, but as one Denver Post reporter wrote in 1964; " .... despite the assaults over the years on Riverside's respectability, Denver's forgotten graveyard remains an active and attractive facility which, more than a.cemetery, stands as a collective monument to Colorado and Denver his~ory."

Captain Darcey Hannigan said flyers, and prep rallies will be on the agenda for next year. "With dedication and discipline we plan on performing more stunts next year and we want people to come out and watch," Hannigan said. Harris said training involved to become a cheerleader includes a dance background, weight training and the skills and techniques to perform stunts. "They are athletes they have to train to become this good," she said. Harris said the cheerleaders would like to be respected and supported as athletes. "We want to have a more dedicated team next year and become more well known and we want to go to nationals," said assistant coach Vanessa Fulcher. It is Harris' first year coaching the squad. She focuses on good discipline, more strenuous workouts, longer IWI McWl*tedJbe Metropolitan practices, toning, and conditioning.

Baseball season ends early with loss at championship Roadrunners break school records and two All-Regional selections By Jennifer Youngman 7be Metropolitan

(

The Metro baseball team landed two players on the All-Region team and tied a school record, but lost both its post-season games to bring the 2000 season to a premature end. Seniors Dana Reichers and Miika Autio were named to the All-West Region first team for their outstanding performances at the plate. Reichers led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with a .467 batting average. He also shattered former-Roadrunner Brian Micciulli's single season record for hits with 86. Micciulli's record was 79 hits. Reichers tied another former Roadrunner's record for singles hit in one season. Both Reichers and Matt Santistevan's have hit 61 singles during the span of one season. Autio led the Roadrunners in

multiple batting statistics, including home runs (10), RBI (51) and slugging percentage (.679). His .388 batting average was second only to Reichers' of the regular starters for the Roadrunners. When the Roadrunners closed out the regular season with a sweep of the University of Southern Colorado, they tied the school record for wins in one season with 34. The record was set by the 1987 Roadrunners' team that finished 34-15. The 2000 Roadrunners suffered one more loss than the 1987 team. The last loss came at the hands of Fort Hays State. Metro lost to Mesa State in the first round of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament on May 11, 7-6, before falling to the Tigers 19-2.
