The number of professor reaching at Metro has increased to compensate for enrollment during the past five years. .However, the institution is not adding more professors to the tenured list or those on tenure track. Instead, the increase is in part-time or temporary professors.

In the 1994-95 academic year, 377 full-time professors taught at Metro.

That count dropped slightly in fall 1999 to 374. On the other hand, the number of part-time professors has increased from 159 in 1994 to 214by1999.

David Conde, associate vice president for Academic Affairs said there are four basic types of professors at Metro. Regular fulltime professors include those with tenure and those on the tenure track.

Tenured professors usually teach 12 credit hours and add three hours of advising and office time to complete a full 15-credit hour semester,.he said.

"They are the"'backbone of our teaching faculty," Conde said of the tenured professors who've gone through a five-year plan and evaluation in hopes of becoming a permanent fixture at the institution.

'There is a mutual covenant between both (Metro and the tenured

profeswr) for a long-rime relationship," he added.

The other two types of professors fall into the "temporary" Full-time temporary teachers are considered part of the adjunct faculty and teach a full 15 credit hours per semester, Conde said.

Part-time temporary professors1 the final group .of professors, do not teach a full class load, but are usually brought in because they are experts in their field.

"Students can take advantage of their expertise," he said. "That's something we couldn't get any other way."

Joan Foster the Dean of the School of Letters, Arts, .and Sciences, wh~ch uses the most part-time professors at Metro, agreed with Conde. However, she added that many part-time professors teach general studies classes as well, which would explain the 146 parttime professors in the school that offers math, English, and history degrees.

Both Foster and Conde said that using part-time professors has another advantage besides that of the knowledge they can share with students. Using part-time professors saves the college money.

Tenured and tenure-{racked professors' salaries are based on national averages and can be negotiated depending on the market, Conde said.

However, part-time professor rates are set at $600 per credit hour plus benefits, he said.

"It gives us flexibility," Conde said. "We can bring three to four ~culty into specialize. Every. dollar we can utilize well will go further for us."

wasn't until 1992, when his brother died of AIDS, that Mascaro started to raise big bucks for the Auraria Walk Team, to the tune of $500, in the beginning.

"When I first -started doing (the Colorado AIDS Walk), I gave other people money, and didn't ask anyone for money," Mascaro said.

This year he raised S3,000 for the Auraria team in the Colorado AIDS walk.

"One of the reasons I did more fund raising · is from ·my experiences," Mascaro said. "T~e services help people in difficult tiples and it's nice to have services to help."

Mascaro has been working at the Auraria Library in the reserves department since 1985, and has lived in Denver since 1968.

His brother lived in Hollywood, working as a dancer and choreographer. He died of complications from AIDS in 1992. Mascaro said he was involved in the last six months of his brother's care. He would fly back and forth from Hollywood to Denver for six months helping to take care of his brother.

"Services the (Colorado) AIDS Walk helps, helped me out when I was there (Hollywood).

They do a lot of good work," Mascaro said.

Mascaro said he wasn't even going to participate in the AIDS walk this year until Stefanie Vassilaros, Student Government Assembly president, approached him about walking. .

"I wasn't going to walk this year, I was literally inspired by her words co walk," Mascaro said.

This year, ·che Auraria Walk ceam raised in preliminary totals about $9,000, said Karen Bensen, D.irector of the Gay, Lesbian, Bi and Trans Services on Campus. Bensen said the final totals will. be· given around October. She also said the amount the team raised may go up if those people who didn't actually walk still turn their money into the Colorado AIDS Walk organization. · About 190 people pre-registered to walk in the Colorado AIDS Walk, and about 70 people actually walked, Bensen said.

Bensen also said if anyone is still wanting to donate money to AIDS Walk Colorado, in the Auraria Team's name, they can do so and it the amount is $35 or more, they can recieve a free AIDS Walk T-shirt, through either the Student Government AsSembly office or the GLBT 9ffice located in the Tivoli rooms 315 and 311.

At the time of registration, the Auraria Walk Team was the second largest team registered for the walk, Bensen said.

organization raised around J850,000 in preliminary pledges for this year's walk, said Deirdre Maloney director of public affairs and marketing. Maloney said the organization is hoping for a final total of money raised between $900,000 and S1 million. This was the 13th year for the Colorado AIDS walk. The Colorado AIDS Walk is the largest fundraising walk in the Rocky Mountain region, Maloney said.

The reason for the drop in national AIDS funding is due to the public's opinion that the epidemic is over, Maloney said.

"People think it (AIDS) is not important.

People think it is cured, that it is gone," Maloney said.

Students from all three colleges on campus came together to walk on the Auraria Walk Team.

"I like to see the Auraria team come together because we all share the same campus," said Emily Roukema, University of Colorado at Denver psychology student.

Roukema raised $35 for the Auraria Team.

Cat White, a Metro student, raised $115 for the team and said she walked bemuse of her friends and "because it is still a problem."

Metro Student Accounts employee Duke Rowland said he walked because it is a worthy cause. He raised U71 in conjunction with Sara Gechter, an employee for Saint Johns Hospice.

She said she walks because St. Johns Hospice is a recipient of funding from the Colorado AIDS Walk and because she enjoys caring for the patients at the hospice. This is her fifth year walking.

"I walk for the people and children who I know who have suffered from (AIDS)," said Billi Mavromatis, administrative program specialist at the Auraria Student Health Center.

Mavromatis, who does AIDS education at Auraria, has been walking in the AIDS Walk for ten years, and rais~ $125 this year.

"It's nice to see people walk who have it, who used the drugs and to see it work for them," Mavromatis said.

At this . year's Colorado AIDS Walk, Vassilaros was the coordinator of the Auraria Team. This .year the Student Health Center donated water bottles for the walkers of the Auraria team to have as well as apples, and d~nut holes to enjoy before the walk. Before the walk began, the Auraria team held a raffle for walkers. Prizes given out were T-shirts, tickets to a production of Swan Lake, and the symphony, as well as $50 gift certificates to the Auraria Book Cente~, all donated by various vendors.'

Denver·Film Festival coming to Tivoli MChrisWard • • • ,.. . . . . .Ro..

The Denver International Film Festival will be returning to che Tivoli this year, despite the closure of the AMC Tivoli Theater, Denver Film Society officials announced Sept. 6.

"We always wanted (the festival) to be at the Tivoli," Bricta Erickson of the Denver Film Society said. "The Tivoli has been our home for a long time."

The Denver Film Society, which puts on the annual festival, has rented the space vacated by AMC and will show a variety of independent, foreign, and classic films Oct. 12 - Oct. 21.

"It gave us the opportunity to host them again," director of student auxiliary services at Auraria Barbara Weiske said of the Denver Film Society's renting the space.

After last year's festival, there were some doubts as · to whether or not the festiwl would be returning to the Tivoli.

When AMC announced it would be closing its Auraria theater, many assumed the festival would have to find a new home.

However, because no other businesses have moved into the space, the movie screens and projectors are still in place for the festival to use.

"We're going to be moving forward as best we can to fill our 12 theaters, instead of being restricted to the lower six, as it was vacant space permanently," Weiske said. While she hopes to find in previous years.

Having additional screens not only means being able to someone to rent the space, Weiske was glad to see the festival show more films, but also the ability to accommodate a larger return. · "(The festival) is such a good thing for the campus, because audience. Erickson said that this year, if a show sells out, they students are really into international films," said Weiske, who · could have an encore presentation of that film for the people also predicts benefits for Tivoli businesses. "Each time ic comes, who were unable to get tickets for the first screening. She feels that this, in addition to the it boosts the activity levels for rising popularity of the businesses, especially those that 'The Tivoli has been our home for a long time,' festival in general, will help sell food."

The festival will also feature .:...Britta Erickson, increase ticker sales. has "Attendance events at the Buell Theatre and Denver Film Society increased every year, and · Auraria's new .I{jng Building. In I'm sure we'll see a boost addition, the opening and closing night ceremonies, the Buell will be hosting the Oct. 14 this year as well," Erickson said. She sees this as a sign that.the presentation' of the festival's John Cassavetes Award to actor festival is achieving its purpose, to "bring films to the residents Sean Penn. The world premiere of A Constant Forge, a of Denver than might not otherwise be shown." This is in documentary about Cassavetes, will be held earlier that day at contrast to most major festivals, which serve primarily to sell movies to distributors. the King Building.

Although the future of the Tivoli's movie theater is Although there is no longer a func.cioning· movie theater at the Tivoli, no one has bought the space previously held by AMC, uncertain, both Weiske and Erickson hope that the Denver Film and the theaters are still equipped to show movies. Also, Society can continue to hold the festival at Auraria.

Erickson said, the absence of AMC gives the festival access to all

Half of Metro students going to college on financiar aid M laura Glatfelter 111 TH lhbopolitoa More than half of the student population at Metro pays for their college education with help of financial aid. Financial aid includes loans, grants, workstudy and scholarships.

There were 16,870 students at Metro in the 1999 year, and of those students 8,767 received financial aid, Bridget Mullen of the Colorado Commission of Education said.

Financial aid is awarded based on eligibility, enrollment each semester and available funding, the financial aid office said.

Some financial aid is need-based and is determined by the students Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and some aid is notbased on need.

The Office of Financial Aid determines a students expected cost of attending Metro and calculates ·each individual student's budget.

"If it weren't for my athletic scholarship I definitely would not be going to school at Metro, because in Venezuela college is free," said David Marquina, an international student and former tennis player. · Last year 10,289 students took out loans, Mullen said. Loans are borrowed through outside lenders and must be repaid. There are subsidized loans which are need-based aid, unsubsidized loaps which are not based on need, and Federal Plus Loans, which are loans that dependent students borrow. Students must be enrolled in at least six credit hours to be eligible for loans.

"Without my student loan I would not be attending college at this particular time," said Melissa Castillo, a junior at Metro.

Last year 8,434 students were on one or more grants and 4,259 students were awarded

The Federal Pell Grant, Mullen said. Grants are

federal and state·need-based funds that do not have to be repaid. Grants include The Pell Grant, which is a federal grant ranging from $400 to $3,300.·The Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, a federal grant ranging from $100 to $1,000 and the Colorado State and Colorado Student Incentive Grant, which are state grants ranging from $50 to $1,000.

Last year, 920 students were awarded work study, Mullen said. It is an award that a student ~ms working on campus. These funds come from the state and federal government, which

can be up to $4,000 for an academic year or up to $2,000 per semester.

Last year, 1,850 students received scholarships, Mullen said. They are awarded to qualified students and are given based on GPA. Applicants are selected by a scholarship committee. The primary scholarship is Colorado Scholars. There are two and four year Presidential Scholarships available to transfer students and entering freshman.

Funding for scholarships include the state and

federal government and private organizations.

Compared to the University of Colorado at Boulder, 21,500 students attended the college in the 1999 year. Of those students, 1,534 were on workstudy, 7,990 had grants and scholarships, 8,002 took out loans, and 6,939 were on need-based aid which included Pell Grants and federal work study.

Rock the Vote registers more than 400 students

Ill Micah

J. Dearth

TM llfttopolion

....,

MTV's Rock the Vote came to campus on Sept. 8 in hopes of registering 500 students to vote on the upcoming election.

Denver was the 11th stop in Rock the Vote's 25 city tour.

Along with the effort to sign up new voters, came numerous Colorado candidates, two bands and unlimited bags of free Doritos.

Jared Polis, 25, who is one of the candidates running for a spot on the Colorado Board of Education. Polis, making his first run in politics, feels very passionately about changing things on the Colorado State Board of Education.

"We need to bring the focus back to our kids, they are much too ideological and are focusing on things that are a little far fetched," Polis said. "I think we can do a much better job with .educators across the state as far as to better educate them and get them paid more money so that they have the tools to teach our youth what they need to know in the near future."

Among the other candidates who spoke was secretary of state hopeful Anthony Martinez, 28. Like Polis, Martinez is also part of Generation X. "My campaign is mainly geared to the younger generation because I feel that they are the ones that are going to make the change," Martinez said.

All of the candidates present Sept. 8 spoke about the current condition of America's educational system and each one made a pledge to make a change.

"They will be our future politicians and we need to make sure we educate these young people correctly so that they may go on to lead very productive lives," Martinez said.

"We need more of our young people out there voting, so that way they have a say in their government and how things are done," said Ed Schroeder, trumpet player for the Ed Fingers, a local band that performed.

"I remember when Gov. Bill Owens was running for office, I had to be out the country and was not able to vote and now I can't bitch about it," said Christy Allbee, lead singer for the band.

By the end of the day more than 400 students had registered to vote, totaling the number of voters Rock the Vote has registered to more than eighty thousand.

Kristin Thomson shows her support for Anthony Martinez, a candidate for Colorado secretary of state during the Rock the Vote event held Sept. 8 on the Auraria Campus.

CU professor works for diversity BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - A University of Colorado math professor has been honored for working to increase diversity among Colorado's doctoral recipients in five years.

James Curry, professor of applied mathematics, was selected to receive the 2000 Boulder County Community Action Program multicultural award in the cat<;gory of science.

Last year, Curry led a nine-month effort to write a $2.5 million federal grant to triple the number of minority Ph.D. recipients in science, math and engineering at the CU-Boulder and Colorado State University.

"CU-Boulder is the 15th largest producer of minority Ph.D.'s in the world,"Curry said. "When you begin to think about that number, it makes you think with just a bit more money, we could do much more."

Every summer, Curry mentors students in the Summer Multicultural Access to Research Training program, a 10-week research internship for undergraduate minorities, and serves as faculty adviser for the program.

Barbara Kraus, assistant to the dean of the CU-Boulder graduate school, nominated Curry for the award.

"Working with Jim Curry makes me hopeful that the prospect of work force diversity is a little brighter," Kraus wrote in her nomination entry.

Defending Laura Schlessenger "I detest what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it."

-Voltaire

Danielle

Haraburda

Somecimes I find myself compelled co do chings I hate. Going to the dentist and cleaning the litter box are two, but occasionally 1 feel obliged to defend people I don't like. People like Laura Schlessinger.

In the past many months, Schlessinger has atcracted a lot of fire. Her homophobic comments that homosexuals are "deviant," "biological errors," and gay men are most ofcen "pedophiles," coupled with che face thac Paramounc scudios has promoted her from day time radio co day time celevision has incensed groups across che country.

Much of the cricicism against che doctor, herself, is valid. For scarters, Schlessinger's doctorate degree is in physiology, noc in psychology or psychiacry, so che pop advice she has dispensed on her radio calk show in the fast food cradicion hardly seems based on anyching but her opinion and her deepl/ held, buc recently acquired, religious senciments. Furthermore, as a woman with children, who is now working full time, her cricicism of working mochers seems to wax a bit hypocritical.

Also, if che research of groups, such as che American Psychiacric Association are to be believed, the majority of pedophiles are identified as heterosexual men.

Obviously, I don't carry high regard for Schlessinger. I've listened to the Dr. Laura

show and have, ftrst hand, experienced the anger that many people feel toward her sometimes blood-curdling solucions to che world's problems. Addicionally, I'm a lesbian. In Schlessinger's eyes, I fall into noc only che "biological error" cacegory, buc into the "untie to mother children" category as well. However, as much as I disagree wich her haceful diacribe, I would never try co take away her right to voice it.

The Firsc Amendment is painful that way. It gives people the right to speak opinions, even ones that aren't popular or that spread resentment. It's given depraved organizations, such as the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi party the right to shout their rhetoric to the rooftops. It gives me the right to, week after week, go on tirades againsc anyone I choose. However, ic's also protected councless gifted American writers, artists, and political theorists. It is a double-edged sword, without which the foundation of our country would noc exist.

Would our country survive without another shock jock monopolizing the rubbish pile that is daytime celevision? Perhaps, but once we stare restriccing the content of any art form (and, let's face ic, celevision is what passes for this societie's art contribution), we invite all groups to start objecting to the existence of anything and everything considered offensive. I can think of dozens of art exhibits, books, speakers, and radical politicians targeted by right wing extremists for advocating "pornographic" or "anti-American" ideas. The practice of censorship is no more tolerable to me, even if the organizations are ones with whom I usually agree.

If you can't abide Dr. Laura's show, don't support her. Don't spend your money on produces made by companies chat endorse Schlessinger's show. That is the power that people carry in a free-market society. That is our freedom as citizens in this country.

Just remember, no matter how little some of us may like it, Laura Schlessinger has her freedoms too.

Candidates gear up for .post labor day stretch

m

Michael Ricci OoluMbla Doll9 lfMCWor (Ooluâ&#x20AC;˘bla U.)

(U-WIRE) NEW YORK - Mid-September means more than just che ominous breezes of fall; it also means that in less than two months, the American people will elect a new president.

The two-month stretch from Labor Day to the presidential election is traditionally crucial for three reasons. First, it is when the public, recovering from the summer and getting back to work, actually starts to pay considerable attention to the race. Second, ic is the only period in which the two candidates are seen on the same stage engaged in debates.

Third, it is the period in which the candidates become the mosc desperace for viccory, chus their true selves are accually brought to light - strategies fade and the bare bones needed to win take over.

The buzz of the recent weeks, and buzz is all that ic is, is that the vice president has seized the agenda from Governor Bush and has taken a lead because it has become more of an issues-oriented campaign.

This is certainly true in the sense that issues have taken a more prominent role, with Gore hammering home messages on fiscal responsibility and prescription drugs, while Bush water." has to stand by tax cuts and privatization of Social Security, sound but not necessarily well-received policies co a public thac is confident, yec caucious, about the nation's economic future.

Let's get down to it, though, and forgec the hype for a moment. Here are questions chac, when properly answered, will tell the cale about che nexc cwo months and who will be elected Bill Clinton's successor: Who is winning in the battleground states? Nacional polls are great, buc they simply do not count: winning the popular vote does not mean winning the nation's highest office; by now, almost all of us know how the electoral college of states works. Bush is ahead in 21 states, Gore in 16 states, giving Bush solidly 200 eleccoral votes and Gore a little less than that. So when New~week tells you Gore is ahead 10 points, it is not

giving you a sense of how the election turns out. With the election this close, what matters are the scaces where neither candidate has an overwhelming lead, particularly Florida and che Midwest belt from Pennsylvania to Indiana. Whoever can appeal to the bellwether vocers in these states will win.

Which candidate falters in the debates? Doing spectacularly in the debates is not really what counts - people remember che mistakes, not the impressive policy stacemencs. Expectations are also important - who rises above the expectations, who fails to meet high expectacions? Overall, however, the pub.lie has high expectations for the candidates to know their stuff, so when one messes up or looks out of couch, it is stored in che memory of che voters who have not made up cheir minds yet.

Who goes negative with class' Posicive ads are simply too flowery and prediccable, wich the cheesy music and scenes of flag-toting babies, for voters to pay attention to. Thoughtful negative-issue ads chac show the differences between the cwo candidaces can be effective if they are noc coo vicriolic personally. Of course, we all cry for positive and high-toned campaigns, but in reality, when is a biccer-fought campaign one that is highly positive?

Who starts talking about Harry Truman? In the last two weeks before Election Day, when candidaces are down in the polls, traditionally they start talking about Harry Truman's improbable and stunning victory over Thomas Dewey in the 1948 election. This is the sign of a desperate candidate descined co lose. When you hear che name Truman mentioned and you see an Election Week Rally in Truman's hometown of Independence, Missouri, chat is a sign of a candidate dead in the wacer.

This is no set-in-stone list of questions that will decide it all. Whac is important to understand is that elections are won and lost over a number of smaller and technical matters, noc large themes of vision and popularity. Paying attention co the details of electoral politics is something that both campaigns must do in order to win, not merely puc out some policy proposals and hope they mesh.

In reality, though, the biggest challenge for che next 55 days rests with the public to pay more attention to Bush and Gore than Will ~nd Grace .

"W,en you hear the name Truman mentioned and you see an Election Week Rally in Truman's hometown of Independence, Missouri, that is a sign of a candidate dead in the

Time for Boulder students to grow up Over the years, college campuses have been the scene of many riots. Some were designed to raise public awareness, . some to voice student outrage. Not until this generation, though, has so much mayhem been generated for such a meaningless reason. We're staff editorial referring, of course, to the recent evening tantrums thrown by a handful of students at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

This trend started last year when, upset that their status as privileged students didn't grant them even more advantage, CU-Boulder students started a riot to protest the drinking age.

Apparently, the collective weight from all those silver spoons has taken its toll again, because student rioting is once again becoming vogue on University Hill.

In the past few weeks parties in the University Hill area have grown, not only to large numbers of unruly and loud students, but into bonfires. The fires, made in the middle of public streets, have endangered not only the students themselves, but

the homes and lives of actual residents who live year round in the district. Additionally, many drunken students have taken to throwing beer bottles and rockS at law enforcement officers who, as a matter of public interest and safety, have tried to close these drunk--fests down.

Officials at CU-Boulder have instituted a three-strikes policy.

After a students third alcohol related incident, he or she will be expelled. We think this is a good beginning, but believe the grace period should be shorter if the student's behavior endanger the lives of other students, area residents, and, especially, police officers.

College life is about learning and, for many of these students, learning to be an adult. We believe, however,1hat misconduct that places someone's life or health in jeopardy is something they should have learned not to do before they set foot on campus. If they can't adhere to laws and rules as basic as these, perhaps they should pack up and go back where they came from.

Dillard should_rese~ch facts instead of attacking personality Dear Editor,

.,,

In the Aug. 18 edition of The Metropolitan, Danielle Haraburda expressed an opinion concerning the "Women's Health Information Act". As the Opinions Editor, this is her job. In the Sept. 1 issue, Bryant Dillard expressed an opposing opinion to the subject. Given his right to free speech in the First Amendment, Dillard was completely justified in this course of action. This is, perhaps, the only point of law that he understands.

The government has no right to be involved in the abortion decision making process, given the points that Dillard, fiimself, brought up. The Hyde Act prohibits the use of federal or state tax dollars to be used to fund aboftions. Medicaid legislation also restricts the use of these same tax monies except in certain cases resulting from violence towards women, or if the life of the pregnant woman is at risk. So Mr. Dillard, no one has "invited the federal government to put in its two cents worth".

Further, an additional 24 hours may well place a11 "undue

burden or hardship" upon the pregnant woman. Part of the decision making proces.s is finding the time to have this procedure done. If the woman travels from out of state she would need to take another day from work to receive literature and pay for another night in a hotel room. Women work. Women go to school. Women have families. She may not have another 24 hours to take from her schedule.

Perhaps Dillard's time would be better spent researching his facts, or discovering what women really do with their lives, instead of attacking another person's opinion and attacking them personally.

Come down off your conservacive white horse Mr. Dillard, and \\'.hen you know what it's like to be pregnant and to be faced with the decision about whether or not to have an abortion, we'll talk.

Until then, think before you espouse your right-wing rhetoric.

"Meet me at the flagpole."

Those words from the school bully would terrify. fult these days, there isn't terror bu't a cause of celebration. Instead of fighting there will be food, fundraising and fun at the flagpole.

The flagpole on Auraria Campus will be the focal point of the 2000 World Friendship and Fall 'festival on Sept. 20 & 21 from 10:00 until 3:00. A joint celebration of the diversity o~ campus and being back-in-school. Metro, University· of Colorado-Denver and the Community College of Denver will host the event.

"It's been a bit hectic," said CU-Denver student life coordinator Khushnur Dadabhoy.

"But I enjoy the celebration of diversity."

Dadabhoy is also 'a part-time instructor of sociology. at Metro. Nlowing the international students to feel comfortable in their new surroundings is very important, Dadabhoy said.

A variety of arts and crafts, corporate business, foods and student clubs and organizations will have tables or booths. r Including a world culture trivia table.

A parade of nations will begin at the flagpole at noon and international flags will be walked around the campus. A wealth of information and entertainment will also be on hand. Organizations including Students for a free Tibet and Black Student Services are just a few .student organizations participating in the festival. Amixture of, dancers, singers and even a hypnotist will be on hand. The event will include melodies and harmonies on-stage. On the first day of the celebration there will be an on-stage performance by local recording artist Emilo Emilo. Local artist, Lawrence Love and his steel drums will close the festival The three schools have raised over $2,000 from vendors, such as D_eloreni's Deli, US

Bank and Loveland Ski Resort. Student organizations, academic depar~m~nts, student services and non-profit organtzattons do not pay a fee.

One of the nonprofit organizations that will be at the festival for the first time is Bonftls Colorado Marrow Donor Program, which is afftliated with the National Marrow Donor Progradi. They will be signing up people for the national registry, which is a list of marrow donors all over the world.

At the booth, there will representatives from Bonfils, who will educate those interested in the marrow donor program. If someone shows interest they are ~ked to filL out a consent form and take a blood test. This blood test reads the six human leukocyte . antigens, which are the genetic markers carried on white blood cells, said Recruitment Specialist Kelly Telleen. These antigens are used to determine whether or not the marrow is a match, said Telleen. · This information is then stored in a large database known as the national registry. lf a patient is in need of a marrow transplant due to leukemia, a plastic anemia or other bl6odrelated diseases, doctors refer to the registry to find a match, Telleen said.

"Typically people match within their race," Telleen said. "On the registry now, 75 percent are Caucasian and only 25 percent are from different ethnic minorities. There is a tremendous need for more African Americans, Asians and Hispanics to join the program."

That is why it is so important for the Colorado Marrow Donor Program to get out to the ethnic communities, Telleen said. Which is why the program set up a booth at the El Grito street fair last weekend.

"We got ten people to sign up which doesn't sound like much but considering that people aren't necessarily at that type of event to take a blood test," Telleen said. "Our goal is to give everyone an equal chance in finding a match."

BahOi'i discusses Jung M Troy Markgraf 111 "'• met.opo11to.

Right-of-passage body piercing, Mr. Hyde's shadow side, and the persona of a ladies' shoe salesman. This probably doesn't sound like a typical Saturday night discussion, unless you're a member of the Metro Bahai'i Club.

The Bahai'i Club met Sept.

9 to hear Bill Vines, a student of psychology, present thoughts on contemporary culture as seen through the eyes of Carl Jung. The opporcunity allowed Carl Jungkies to absorb information as Bill Vines well as to take part in an open discussion.

"This type of gathering isn't really a lecture, but more of an intellectual rummage sale," Vines said.

Emphasis was added on Jung's background and approach to psychology. Vine hoped that this would demystify Jung who is often misinterpreted as nonscientific.

"Jung was always a scientist. He would probably disagree with the way that his theories have been applied," added Vine.

So what is the outlook for our culture? Well, let's just say it doesn't look promising. Along with road rage, binge drinking, and shows like Survivor, we also have to worry

about the human race obliterating itself, not really what most people want to hear on a Sept. 9.

"Human technology has far exceeded the human psyche," Vines said. Vines felt that this would lead to humans misusing technology, eventually resulting in the destruction of the species.

Mary Ogles, a professO'r of Jungian dream analysis at Metro, took part in the discussion that also covered the masculine and feminine parts of the human psyche.

Ogles felt the information was a good chance for her students to take their understanding of Jung to another level.

"I encouraged al.I of my students to come to the discussion so that they can broaden their base of knowledge," Ogles said.

This is not the only talk t~at is held at the Bah:ii'i center, so those concerned about getting in touch with their feminine or masculine sides but didn't attend the Jung forum will have other opportunities. Seymour Weinberg, the vice-president of the Bahai'i Club, brings in speakers on a plethora of other subjects; "We've had large crowds when our speakers discuss things like 'Evolution of the Species' or 'The Art of Happiness,"' he said, referring to the books by Charles Darwin and the Dahli Llama. "Social issues don't draw as much attention."

Educational Forums take place every Saturday at 7:30. More information can be found. by calling 303-798· 4319 or 303-322-8991. .

Man caught with lizards in his ·pants LAS VEGAS (AP) -ALas Vegas man has been convicted of smuggling a dozen lizards into the United States in his underwear.

Don D. Astorga, 31, was found guilty by U.S. District Judge Philip Pro after nearly three hours of testimony. Astorga had waived his right to a jury trial.

Las Vegas police Detective.John Zidzik testified that he approached Astorga onJune9, 1999, at McCarran International Airport because the man looked unusual. Zidzik said Astorga had strange bulges in his groin area.

The officer suspected Astorga was hiding a controlled substance and arrested him. The suspect told Zidzik he had lizards in his groin area and had obtained them in the Philippines, the detective testified.

Zidzik said he was granted permission to search Astorga's underwear and found several tube socks that had been cut in half, stuffed with lizards and taped shut.

Of the 12 lizards he found, Zidzik testified, nine had died. The detective said he also found an egg. The three surviving lizards later died.

The bodies were sent the 1o.s Angeles 7.oo and identified as a Nile monitor, a water monitor and several geckos.

Afederal grand jury indicted Astorga in March on two counts of smuggling, a felony. Pro convicted him of both counts Wednesday. One count accused the defendant of violating the Endangered Species Act by engaging in the trade of monitorlizards.

The other accused him of violating various federal regulations by failing to declare all 12 lizards to the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Fish and W!lcllife Service.

Pro is scheduled to sentence Astorga on Dec. 8. Prosecutors say a sentence of probation to six mo~ths in prison is likely.

want anyone else to know '(\(, about. But for Metro's attacking midfielder, Janice (Blank) Armstrong, you can call her anything you want, just don't call her unselfish. "(This year) I want to be more of a selfish player," Armstrong, a senior, professed. "I need to take more shots. I want to score more goals."

But wait, don't call her selfish either, because Armstrong also says she wants to rack up points in the assists column this season, Something has to give, right?

It can be done," women's soccer coach Ed Montojo said.

"I would like Janice to lead us in scoring again, but if it means she has to be a decoy for our team to be successful she is the type of player that would be willing to do that."

Last year Armstrong transferred from Regis University to join the Roadrunners squad. From the wide-0pen, attack style that Montojo implements to the players to the school, Armstrong feels more comfortable at Metro. So comfortable that when Armstrong was teamed with erstwhile senior Kari Pierce, she help revamp Metro's offense by leading the team in scoring with 12 goals last year.

b'/ e

But her appetite was not Satisfied. The lofty numbers she covets for this season: 15 goals, 10 assists. Certainly reachable numbers for a player whotp Montojo said swarms toward .the

ball and scours the field for teammates like a bird of prey, "Her movement on and off the ball (is) really srrong," Montojo said. "Janice want's to be involved in plays as much as she can ... She sees the field well and can distribure the ball."

Mon_tojo said Armstrong is the playmaker on offense and the master of her domain on defense.

For most, though, being unselfish is a virtue, but for Armstrong it's been more of a weakness she says. Her fusillade. , of 33 shots on goal lasr year is also a number she wants .to improve upon.

"I pass it off a lot when I need to'take shots," she said. "So, I probably need to take more people on. That's probably my (other) weakness, I don't take people on as much as I should."

Armstrong has had two knee surgeries on her right legher shooting leg-in 1997 and 1998. Those two repairs have held her back in the past, she said, but it won't anymore.

"I got in the habit of passing instead of shooting, because it tweaked the knee too much to shoot. It's going to be in mind this year-if I have a chance to shoot, I'll shoot it."

Montojo added that Armstrong has improved on staying focused on the game and not letting the other team rile her as much. And with this being her senior year, Armstrong wants to take opponents out of the equation and hankers for the elusive Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championship.

"We've come close every year," she said. "We'll , have another winning season-definitely."

Momojo said Armstron, the team captain, with her leadership and work ethic, can motivate teammates and make them rise to another level.

The question remains though: What is her middle name?

Well it's ...

"No! Don'~ put that in the story!" she said.

Whynot? .

"Because I only want my friends making fun of it."

Just cail Armstrong what Montojo dub.5 her - a total team player. ·

Some games are won, not with talent or by the other teams' mistakes, but with perseverance.

On an arid day that would test the true grit of both teams, Metro proved it wanted a win more than its counterparts. The team scored two goals in the second half for a comeback triumph over Southern Colorado, 2-1, Sept. 10 at the Auraria Fields.

Sara :\orkoli scored the game winner in the 85th minute, as Metro won its third straight game and accreted their record to 3-2 overall, 2-0 in the Rocky Mountain Conference. The Thunderwolves fell to 4-2 and are now 0-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Both teams were breathless throughout the game, and when Southern Colorado's first shotfrom about 40 yards out-nearly went in, Metro coach &I Momojo was left holding his own breath.

Two minutes into the game, Southern Colorado forward Melis.sa Martinez caught Metro goalkeeper Bridget Gallagher lurking too far from goal and lobbed the ball over her head. With Montojo on the sideline cringing, the ball bounced off the ground just high enough to dear the top pa;t Montojo turned and shook his head and cheeks, trying to era.se what he had just saw-a narrow escape.

The Thunderwolves didn't let the next opponunity hop on over, though. Defender Jamie Swenson scored for Southern Colorado in the 11th minute by lacing a loose ball from in front of

goal, into an open net amongst the scrambling Metro defenders, who failed to dear a corner kick.

Southern Colorado damped down on defense for the rest of the first half, but in the second half, Metro picked up the intensity as the Thunderwolves withered in the heat.

"In the second half we pride ourselves in that we think we are more fit than the other team," Montojo said. "So in the second half-if it's closewe feel confident that we are going to win."

Metro adjusted to the Thunderwolves' defense to get better looks at goal. Julie l.anon nearly put the Roadrunners on the board 30 seconds into the second half, with her shot from inside the penalty box going just wide. Seven minutes later, l.anon fed Janice Armstrong, who strafed a shot across the goal box, leaving goalkeeper Sara Carter grabbing nothing but air.

The goal tied the game at one apiece.

"We thought if we took advantage of (their defense) the goals would come and we would be able to dominate and take it over, and the girls did that," Montojo said.

The game, though, came down to determination. Neither team had good scoring chances as time wound down, but defender Joie Wilson tried to put Metro ahead with her own 40yard shot that brushed off Caner's hand and grazed off the top bar. This time Montojo grimaced-a near goal.

About five minutes later, Wilson dribbled the ball from the backfield to the left wing, five yards outside the penalty box, and spotted Norkoli in front of the goal. Norkoli took Wilson's cross, spun

away from one defender and rifled the ball underneath the right crossbar for the winner.

"It (was) just a great team effon and we're coming together slowly," Montojo said.

Fony-five hours earlier, Metro had beaten New Mexico Highlands 3-0 (Sept. 8) with goals by ?.anon, Wilson, and Armstrong. The Roadrunners have regrouped in the last three games, all at home, outshooting opponents 38-22, and
