Auraria policeman charged with assault M Edward Bishop Winslow 111111.......... An off-duty Auraria policeman was charged with assaulting a patron in a Tivoli Center bar at the Auraria campus then pulling down his pants and exposing his penis, said Auraria police chiefJoe Ortiz. Tony Lucero, 34, is accused of grabbing David Goos, 19, by the throat, slamming him against a wall and striking him twice in the face on July 14, said Denver police. Charges of indecent exposure and third degree assault have been ftled in county court. Both crimes are misdemeanors.

Police reported no injuries. The incident occurred when Lucero, who was off-duty and not . in uniform, entered the Boiler Room, a Tivoli Center establishment and accused Goos and Adam More, 19, of underage drinking and asked them for their identification, said police. The legal minimum age for alcohol consumption in Colorado is 21. More asked Lucero who he (Lucero) was and Lucero "lost his temper," said Goos. Lucero replied, "Do you want to know who I am?" He then "pulled down his pants and showed his penis," said Goos. "He was acting really, really hyped up." Lucero left the bar "without telling who he was." Goos said that he got Lucero's name from the bar manager at the Boiler Room.

Attemps to reach Lucero for comment were not succes.sful. Lucero has been "terminated (from the Auraria Campus Police) as a result of discipline after an internal affairs investigation," said Lt. Gary Kasson of the Auraria campus police. He had worked for the Auraria Campus Police for about three years. He was initially "hired as an unarmed security guard" and when a position opened as an armed police officer, Lucero was promoted. Kasson also reported that Lucero was "checked out" before the Auraria police hired him and no prior criminal record was found. Lucero held a position at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department before joining the Auraria Campus Police, said Auraria campus police chiefJoe Ortiz.

Metro programs adjusting well to budget changes MChrisWard

The effects of last year's $1.5 million cut to Metro's budget are still being felt by several departments. Most of them, however, have adjusted to the decrease in state funding. "It hit everybody, all different areas were affected," said, Vice President of Administration and Finance Joe Arcese. Although the budget cut affected multiple departments at Metro, Arcese said that there were no adverse effects. "The cuts were made so the areas could still operate effectively," he said. The cut was made in January of 1999 after enrollment for the 1998-99 school year dropped 1.4 percent from the previous year. And, while an increase in admissions could reinstate the $1.5 million as early as January of 2001, chances are that enrollment won't be high enough, Arcese said. According to Arcese's records, last year's enrollment was only slightly higher than the previous year. The final enrollment for the 2000-01 school year isn't in yet, but, based on enrollment so far, Arcese doubts that there will be a significant increase in the student population. The loss of funds hasn't had many negative effects, according to Vice President of Student Services Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen. "On the positive side, no one was affected as far as staff, or productivity, or service," said Ortega-Ericksen. She also noted that finding a way to run Student Services with a smaller budget was actually beneficial. "We became a lot more efficient." According to Onega-Ericksen, no jobs were lost as a result of the budget cut, and no student services had to be eliminated. Among the areas affected by the cut are the Athletic Department and the Counseling Center. While the Athletic Department was able to depend on fans and boosters to make up the difference in funding, the Counseling Center had to merge with the Student Health Center, another area that Ericksen cites as a slight improvement. "It's been really very good," said Ortega- Ericksen, see BUDGET CUT page 9

Commission approves plans for .... new law school facility at CU DENVER (AP)_ The Colorado Commission on Higher Education has approved longpending plans for a new $38 million law school building at the University of Colorado in ~ Boulder. The rommission voted unanimously on Thursday in favor of the new facility to replace the aging Fleming Law building. University officials have argued that the ..,. law school's accreditation is at ri.sk by the American Bar As.sociation and the As.sociation of American Law Schools because of limited library space and room for expansion. The new building will serve 600 students,' up from its current capacity of 500. < Under the final agreement reached

HEIE'SllDWUWOMS You do the lifting(you must be able to lift 70lbs.) and UPS will pay up to $23,000 for your college education.

Thursday, the commission set the amount of money to be rai.5ed by student tuition at $5.6 million instead of the previous $7.6 million. The $2 million difference will rome out of a legi.slative appropriation. The state will pay $20 million of the S38 million tab. University officials have rai.5ed close to S6 million for the project, which was first approved by a former group of commissioners in December 1998. Under a policy change, the new commissioners appointed by Gov. Bill Owens reconsidered the project. The new building is expected to be finished by fall 2004.

So sitting in a classroom staring into space while professors lecture isn't your thing? What, paying up to S5 a day for parking isn't either? ~U. you're not alone. More and more students are taking advantage of courses offered on-line by Metro. More than 2,700 students are enroUed in on-line courses this fall.

As for any additional changes to Metro's budget, "we won't know until after the spring semester starts, around January or February," said Arcese. Any increase in state funds wouldn't necessarily go to the programs that lost funding, he added. Metro president Sheila Kaplan would decide which areas would benefit from an increased budget.

Ok, Ok, I get it. Neither George W. Bush number two so he could marry ... you guessed it, his intern). (Dubya) nor Al Gore plan to do anything The Democrats and Gore walk a tighter rope since they would like ro inappropriate in the back hall to the oval office. stay in the loop of Clinton's economic successes while creating distance That point has been made abundantly clear. from his back hall dalliance. Gore opened his convention address, saying They are fine, upstanding men. George got up he was "his own man." Translation, "I don't smoke cigars ... and this early to make breakfast for his little girls, gentleman prefers blondes." obviously the mark of a moral, upstanding man, I just keep wondering who they're trying to convince, and why. My and good father. Al is still hot for Tipper, at least very unscientific poll confirms that almost nobody I know cares. We Danielle Haraburda that seems to be the message w~'re to get every didn't care when Clinton was messing around with Monica, or at least not time he slips her the tongue on every stage from the Democrats' much, and we don't really seem too concerned with the personal antics convention to his recent riverboat trip. of Gore or his hard-partying opponent, Bush. What people seem to care Enough already, I'm getting grossed out with all the domestic about, or at least myself in any case, is what they want to do with the affection these two men have for their wives. And I can't believe it's taken country. up as much time as it has. The sum total of the GOP convention, as far I care that a man running for president whose real agenda about as I could tell, seemed to return to a pretty central theme: Republicans diversity is to deploy the National Guard to the Texas/Yiexico border to Don't Like Sassy Young Interns (except, of course, for Ne\vl Gingrich who "compassionately" turn away immigrants by, in at least a couple of cases, has stayed conspicuously absent from the spotlight since divorcing wife shooting them. I care dearly that our next president might be more closely married to the Christian Coalition than he is to his wife. I care chat Bush seems to be a few apples short of a bushel in the brains department. Additionally, I find myself concerned that Gore gives more lip service than he can deliver in the areas of hare crimes, financial support for public schooling, and campaign finance reform. Instead of addressing any of these issues, both parries are beating us over the head with their personal fidelity. As far as I'm concerned, a really good president will serve his constituency in a fair and balanced way. If he does that, I don't give a good damn what he does (understanding, of course, chat the antics stay consensual between both, or more, parties). ·what I don't want to see any more of are weird photos of a bare chested Gore cozying up to Tipper, or hear anymore sappy love stories from Laura Bush or her children. I figure that these women have stayed at their husband's sides because they both have some sort of redeeming personal qualities, and, quite frankly, that's good enough for me. I, myself, am a Democrat, so my political bias is leaning toward Gore, but that doesn't mean anything is carved in stone. All it might take for my defection to the Green Party is one more shot of him slobbering all over "the woman [he's] loved since the night of [his] high school prom." After all, I hear Ralph Nader isn't married.

They and their extraordinary counterparts, all images selected from the Camera Obscura Gallery Collection, will have a lasting imprint on you long after you leave this one-room gallery, hopes Hal Gould,

director of the Camera Obscura. "These are some of the top people in photography," said Gould. And Gould should know the best; he has been working in photography all his life. His own work is currently in an exhibition at the Denver An Museum entitled Colorado Master Photographers. "Some of the prints and images in this exhibit are not even in museums," Gould added. "This is a one-rime only exhibit." From 1930 Lo 1960, just decades after Alfred Stieglitz established photography as an art form, photographers were testing the limits and depths of photography as a medium. But as Gould said, "art is in the artist, not in the medium. An comes from a person · the camera is just the expressive medium." So, it was the artists not the cameras that created the Masterworks you will see in Gould's gallery. And in their creations, these artists employed a variety of styles and subject matter. "These artists utilized not only the pictorial images of beauty, but they also embraced more contemporary subject matter, including documentary photography, photojournalism, commercial, advertising and industrial photography, and also experimenting with surrealism, abstraction, photo-grams, etceteras," Gould said. For example, on the West Coast in 1932, Group F64 was founded by eight

DENVER (AP) - Most students signing up for clas.ses at Colorado colleges are women and some officials are worried about the growing gender imbalance. Of the state's 200,000 students set to start school, there will be 16,700 more women than men. Statewide, women will make up 54 percent of the students on college campuses, and on some Colorado campuses women account for 60 percent of the student body. The numbers in Colorado and

nationwide where 56 percent of college students are women have some college officials concerned about a growing gender imbalance that could have serious social ramifications. Schools nationwide are making their recruitment literature more masculine, changing the color of their envelopes, and in at least one case, starting a varsity sports program to attract men. "The gender is.sue is a serious is.sue," said Linda Bunnell Shade, chancellor at the

University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, where 58 percent of the students are women, outnumbering men by 1,100. "It's important to have a diversity of race, ethnicity and gender because that's what students will be working with in the workplace,"she said. But aggressive job recruitment fueled by the booming economy is hampering her efforts at gender balance. "My inclination is to go to employers and ask them to think about the long-term impacts of an under-educated male workforce and to encourage employee college assistance," Bunnell Shade said. In Colorado, women earn 52 percent of the 20,700 bachelor's degrees awarded annually; they surpassed men in the mid1990s. Nationally, women earn 57 percent of thebachelor's degrees, compared with 43 percent in 1970 and 24 percent in 1950, according to the U.S. -Department of Education. "If the current trend keeps up, the graduation line will be all females in 2086," said Thomas Mortenson, a highereducation policy analyst living in Oskaloosa, Iowa. According to sociologists and college officials, reasons for the gender imbalance include: a shortage of male role models for boys; a trend that has more girls taking college prep courses; a booming economy leading young men to strive for fast cash; and a growing number of women choosing to pursue careers outside of the home. It leads to a host of social consequences, Mortenson said. As educated women increasingly move into top business and political leadership roles, they'll have to settle for marrying less educated men if they marry at all, he said. ''There are at least 125,000 collegeeducated women now who won't find college-educated men to marry, and in a decade it will be a quarter million women," said Mortenson. Adams State in Alamosa attributes its 59 percent female enrollment to young mothers returning to school. At CU-Denver, which is 54 percent women, Midge Cozzens, vice president for academic and student affairs, cautioned against overreacting. "While you wouldn't want to send out pink recruitment brochures, I'm not sure you would want to send out baby blue either," she said. At Colorado State, a seemingly modest imbalance of 52 percent females accounts for 900 more women than men. Yet there are exceptions to the trend. The Colorado of School of Mines in Golden attracts 76 percent men to its engineering programs. CU-Boulder can't explain why it bucks the trend with 52 percent men, Western State President

Aliens among us?

iUlieUe •• james IBWIS

Survey quizzes Coloradoans on heaven, hell, evolution and extraterrestrials

DENVER (AP) - Coloradoans believe in the occult, the extraterrestrial and the paranormal more now than they did eight years ago, according to a new poU. A Colorado News Poll asked 607 Coloradoans last month about their beliefs. The survey conducted for the Denver Rocky Mountain News and News4 by Talmey-Drake Research & Strategy Inc. More than half of those surveyed believe there are advanced forms of life on other planets. One in eight believe there are aliens living among us. Almost three-fourths believe heaven exists; but less than half believe hell exists and that people who sin suffer eternal damnation. Nearly half the Coloradoans surveyed believe that ghosts haunt certain places. Forty-eight percent believe mankind evolved from lower forms of life; 43 percent do not. Two-thirds of college-educated Coloradoans believe humans evolved, but just one-third of those without college degrees believe that. The poll found that younger Coloradoans and the less educated are the

most . likely to believe in the occult, extraterrestrials and mystical powers. For example, 10 percent of collegeeducated Coloradoans believe space aliens live among us, but 14 percent of non-college educated residents do. And while 15 percent of those under 35 suspect their neighbors might be aliens, just 8 percent of those 50 and older do. The fact that there is no scientific proof of those beliefs doesn't seem to matter, said Robert Baker, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Kentucky. Askeptic and member of the Scientific Committee for Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, Baker blames newspapers, books, television and movies. "Every day that goes by, scientists are more sure that highly evolved creatures don't exist" on other planets, Baker said. Yet, the famous extraterrestrials of the mO\~es look similar to humans. "To expect life like ours anywhere near us is chasing a will-0 the-wisp." The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent. 1 -

The Roadrunners open the 2000 Debbie Hendricks, the new Metro volleyball coach, said she is optimistic that the team will recover from last year's dismal 10-21 season on Aug. 25 at the Ramada UNO overall record and 8-11 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference mark.

Hendricks was quick to say that, even after the disappointment of last season, the Roadrunners were not about to settle for an easy schedule. Aft~ e brief s!ffit a~home for th Coloraao Premier Tournament, the Roadrunners hit the road again to open the RMAC portion · of their schedule. They begin with a weekend trip to NebraskaKearney and Fort Hays State, then travel to Colorado Christian and Chadron State the next week. · · "I don't think we're going to look at that in fear," Hendricks said of the road trips. For Hendricks, being mentally prepared is at least as important as being physically prepared for a volleyball match. "I think that's half the battle," Hendricks said. "I've seen teams with less talent go out and be giant killers." Hendricks said she thinks the Roadrunners have both the talent and the mental prowess needed to rise the level expected of Metro volleyball teams. The Roadrunners have a balanced offense, with anyone and everyone able to come up with the big play, she said. And that can throw off any opponent's game plan, Hendricks added. The other strengths of the new Metro volleyball team are its Becky Ellgen sets the ball during women's volleyball practice Aug.22. core of good people and

character, Hendricks said. And that should help them work through their biggest weakness: making too many errors in practice. "That's something I know we can fix," Hendricks said . The Roadrunners will have to eliminate the errors if they expect to meet their goals for the season . Thus far, the team has set only shortterm goals, Hendricks - Coach Debbie Hendricks said. Firs t a n d foremost, they want to defend the Auraria Events Center floor. "We want to go undefeated at home," Hendricks said. 'That starts in two weeks (with the Colorado Premier Tournament)." The Roadrunners also want to control what's within their power and compete every time they step on-the floor, she said.
