said to the group. "I spent $100 here, $800 there. I never wanted to get rid of it because of that. It really was a jalopy." The connection to relationships is the amount of time and work people put into them. After a certain period of time together it's hard to give up hope and leave a bad relationship, Beck said. One partner may be indifferent, but the other still wants to fix-up the relationship. Whether you're in a bad relationship now, or just wondering how to avoid one, someone in the Metro counseling office can help. The Center is starting a relationship group Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. in Tivoli 651 and anyone is welcome. Kelly is thinking of joining the group. "I think it's cathartic," she said. "If you tell your friends all the time, they might hear it too much and just tell you to leave him. The group can just be able to listen." However, if you aren't ready to share your situation with a group, the Center offers oneon-one counseling free to Metro students. While students are offered 10 free sessions, the average person only needs six to address their · situation properly, Vollmer said. Both Vollmer and Beck hope that Metro I students will take advantage of the free sessions. "It's like taking a mini-Calgon," Beck said.
bad relationships. In bad relationships, couples suppress and avoid conflict. Or, should the couple be forced into addressing a conflict, one partner might become defensive while the other very critical of the partner. Vollmer said sometimes partners attack each other, not the issue at hand. In extreme cases, she added, abuse, either emotional, physical, or both, can come into play. Unfortunately, in her line of work Vollmer sees more signs of bad relationships than good ones. "Maybe if I was a wedding coordinator, I'd see better relationships," she said joking. Still, Vollmer believes some positives can come from a bad relationship. She is hoping to start a group of people who have successfully left bad relationships, she said. She hopes by hearing their success stories, and knowing that leaving is an option, others stuck in bad relationships can find a way out. Yet she knows that will be a tough message to get across. "They have this idea that love will conquer all," Vollmer said of people stuck in bad relationships. Beck compared bad relationships to old cars. She said people become attached to an , old car because they've put so much money Contact the Metro Counseling Center at into it over the years for repairs.

CU professors seeking salary raises BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - The results of a University of Colorado faculty survey have school officials fearing they won't be able to attract and retain quality professors. The Boulder Faculty Assembly's executive committee Monday presented results from a survey on salary raises. Out of 117 faculty members who responded, 98 said those who exceed expectations should receive at least an inflationary raise. The respondents represented about 10 percent of the campus faculty. "That's the core of this university, the success of the faculty," said Regent Jim Martin. "I don't think we've done enough in this area" Although administrators say they intend to focus on increased fund-raising to help boost payroll, CU-Boulder's faculty salaries are about 5 percent or 6 percent lower than those at similar universities. On average, Regent Bob Sievers said, CU Boulder faculty received a 4.5 percent raise this year. An across-the-board raise of 4.5 percent was pooled and used -for salary increases to correct gender inequity aod to reward merit, he said. Still, some believe the raises aren't

Art Guild: Gallery vital for campus GALLERY, from 5 - - - - - - - -
executive president for administration Dean Wolf Oct. 9. The guild is intentionally presenting it two days before a meeting between Feuerborn, Wolf, and representatives from Metro, the University of Colorado at Denver, and the Community College of Denver. The Oct. 11 meeting is being held to determine if there is enough money in Auraria's budget to hire a new director for Emmanuel Gallery. If the funding is available, Feuerborn said, Auraria and the three schools will begin the search for a gallery director. "I hope that we can get it open and running," Feuerborn said of the gallery. "It's
a very important and viable part of the campus and I hope we can do something about it." If there isn't enough money in the budget, Bergslien thinks the funding could be raised from other sources. Among other ideas, she proposed holding a silent auction of student artwork or the sale of commemorative plaques. Any fund-raiser, she said, would have to raise a lot of money, and be ''very indicative of the arts." Regardless of how the money is raised, the Art Guild believes Emmanuel Gallery is a necessary part of the Auraria campus. "The more art we can get out there, "Bergslien said, "the better it is for all the students."

Olympics give something special
m

Bryant Dillard
TM 11etro11 • • •
This is a wonderful time of year. It's a time when the leaves start to change colors, and the air starts to cool. But it's also the time of year when almost all the professional sports are in play. We have baseball wrapping up, hockey season gearing up, football in full swing and basketball not too far behind. However, there is one athletic event that must be named. It is one that only comes every four years. I am talking about the Olympics. This is a time of year that I will always remember for the experiences that the Olympics has given me. I worked at the '96 Summer Olympics, and had the time of my life. Granted, there were times I hated life while I was there, but the bonuses of working there far outweighed and negative. Being around those athletes made it impossible to have a negative outlook on life. This year's Olympics are in Sydney, Australia. The time difference has caused a lot of problems with viewership, not to mention the fact that the Olympics are competing against pro football. There are many things that we can detract from these Olympics. They are being played 17 hours ahead of us so we already know the score before we even see the game. The coverage really isn't all that good, and when you do get to see something, you have to listen to horrible commentary. Additionally, you almost feel as if someone should ask if you'd like a little Olympics with your commercials. But with these things aside, I, for one, still watch the games. The Olympics have a personal quality that you can never get
anywhere else. You learn about the athletes. You feel what they feel because they are real people know and no.t just some. person on the television. They become your fnends. And m doing so, they tend to pull you along an emotional roller coaster when they compete. The personal stories in these Sydney games are no different then those of Atlanta. You can't help but cry when you hear stories of people like Lance Armstrong, who has battled cancer, but is still one of the best cyclists in the world; or B.J. Bedford, who finally made the team on her fourth try, and then went on to win gold. I don't know how anyone can say that the Olympics are boring. They provide emotions that we don't normally see on a daily basis. They also provide memories that will last a lifetime. That is what the Olympics are all about. For those of you who feel that the Olympics are as important as I, why not follow our team? Why not support them with smiles and merchandise purchases. And for those of you who really want to be part of the team, why not volunteer with the Olympics? I can personally attest to the fact that working at the Olympics can be a life changing event.

'They've been real inspmng because they're where I want to be," Hess said of the musicians in his new quartet. "They're there naturally. "I wanted to do this after a period of retooling. I felt like I have to have songs to play that reflect the language I was trying to speak." The quartet, featuring Nate Wooley on the trumpet, Tun Sullivan on the drums and Greg Garrison on the bass, will play an 8 p.m. concert Sept. 29 at St. Paul's United Methodist Church at 16th and Ogden. "I've played at most of the places you can play," Hess said, adding he prefers concert-type settings. "We're not necessarily trying to entertain people, we're trying to create music," he said. "I haven't done much club work, but I don't miss that because my focus has not been in that direction. They want to have you fit into the ambiance." There are plenty of reasons for Hess to take his music seriously. In addition to his most recent CD, be has released six other recordings in the last two decades under his own name, and has backed up fellow Metro professor and trumpet player Ron
Miles and one-time Denver jazzman Ginger Baker on their recordings. "We 're not people who stopped twenty years ago being who we wanted to be," said Hess, who holds a doctorate in music composition from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Hess, however does not limit his musical tastes to jazz. "I have a degree in classical composition," he said. "But I'm also interested in the avantgarde. Some people see that as two different sides. People who live in two different parts of the country have different dialects, but it's all speech. I've never had a lot of difficulty in appreciating different styles of music. If I hear a wonderful bluegrass band, I like that." But Hess notes, being a jazz musician is becoming more difficult with pop music dominating popular taste. "You have got to have some passion," he said. "If you don't have that, it's a long slow road. Now you have to be super duper. You have to conquer all the mountains to get noticed. ''Even the great players are nobodies in the big picture. It's not the field to go into if you want the big bank account, but there are fans who appreciate the complexity. I look back for inspiration, as well as forward. Someone in their twenties should look forward. They are the ones who will be taking it to the next level. Your imagination can take us to the next level."

An After nearly 50 years of imaginative conception, drafts, and revisions, the making of Tantalus is finally coming to fruition at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Following six months of 11 hour rehearsal days, 15 tons of stage sand, and 60 hand crafted stagemasks the playwill make irs debut. Tantalus, written by playwright John Barton and directed by Sir Peter Hall, has taken the shape of a 10-and-a-half hour play about the events up to and following the Trojan Wars. The lengthy play is actually an adaptation. The original would have been almost 12 hours. The entire play can be broken into a trilogy, with shows that are viewable in one- two- and three-day cycles. Staging the play required the help of many internationally recognized theatre artists. Dionysis Fotopolous, from Greece, handled the production of masks and costumes. Fotopolous has designed for more than 40 films and 350 theatrical productions. The play also received help from Sumio Yoshii of Japan who is the premier lighting designer in his country. For Yoshii to create his lighting, he utilized a full time interpreter who translated the entire play. The world Premier of Tantalus begins on Oc.tober 2) after which it will tOJ.U' England and then open at the Royal Shakespeare Company's home. The event will draw press from as far away as Britain and from notable pape,cs like the New lbrk Times. Though the show appears to be heading in the direction of greatness, it has not always been the case that Tantalus would become a reality. The show might have begun when Sir Peter Hall and John Barton originally met as students at Cambridge University. From there, Hall moved on to gain fame as a director, mainly for his production of Waiting/or Godot. Hall and Barton came together once again when they formed the Royal Shakespeare I

So goes the plight of King Tantalus, who was condemned for betraying the gods' secrets to mankind. For his crime, Tantalus is forced to live in a pool of water under a large dangling rock, which is ready to fall at any moment. He is just out of reach of the unobtainable fruit lying just above the water. To Barton, the myth of King Tantalus is a metaphor representative of modern mankind as is the story line of Tantalus.

Danny Gallardo celebrates after scoring a goal against CU.Springs Sept. 24.
..
Soccer路player strives for superstar status
m
EricEames
TH lhWpoaan
"He's excitable. He's fun to be around. He's goofy," said Metro men's soccer coach'fkian Crookham. He is sophomore Danny Gallardo, starting forward for the Roadrunners' men's soccer team .. "He's the kind of player you want on your team," Crookham said. "Certainly the kind of player you want in front of the goal for you." And certainly, the kind of player the rivals love to hate. Endowed with a scorer's mentality, Gallardo scored eight goals in eight games to place him on top of the leader board in goals scored for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Six of those goals have come in Metro's past four games, including a four-goal performance in Metro's 4-1 win against Colorado Christian University, Sept. 15, which tied a team single-game goal record. His achievements speak volumes for themselves, but Gallardo, literally, does his talking on the playing field. "I definitely run my mouth out there," Gallardo admitted. You see, Gallardo not only scores goals that break rivals' backs, but he riles the other teams, who wouldn't mind if his tongue was put in a cast. "Oh, he's a big talker," Crookharn said and is always telling Gallardo. "But that's good in a way because he gets everybody going."
.._
--
Talk, though, is just a figure of speech, right? "I like to let people know that I'm here and you need to watch out for me, because if you don't there could be a lot of problems," Gallardo said. Problems like a ball directed off his foot getting entangled in the back of the net or the bare witnes.5 of Gallardo and his teammates roistering off to the side, which was a scarce sight last year. "Last year it wasn't really like that," Gallardo said. "We would score and it would be like nothing. This year we score and it's like somebody scored the greatest goal of their life."
Maybe because each goal and game count for the 8-0, 6th ranked Roadrunners. "It's going to be a pres.sure situation now," Crookharn said. "It's all on the line everyday." Last year Gallardo's playing time was on the line and diminished behind All-American Jared Zanon, who left last year as Metro's all-time leading goal scorer with 39. But Gallardo's bravado never wavered. He worked hard in the off-season, gained the confidence that he could play against anyone and quickly learned that good things do come to those who wait. "He got his shot to step into the limelight," Crookham said. "He just had to bide his time for the first year and he's showing us what he's got now." Gallardo is not trying to live up to Zanon's excellence. Instead, he is trying to replace it, while carving his own. "I'm just trying to score and be the man out there-be the superstar," Gallardo said. 'Tm not trying to live up to Jared. I'm not trying to be behind him. If anything, I'm trying to beat all his records." He's well on his way. Before the season, Gallardo thought 12 goals would be a good standard to reach. But to satisfy his thirst for goals now, he might need to reconsider that number. Gallardo is on pace to score 18 goals this season, a number that never crossed his mind. A number that would more than likely make him an All-American, a number that deserves first-team recognition, a number that could prove to be good enough for 路 something even bigger. "Maybe even Player-of-the-Year," Gallardo said. Gallardo, along with his coaches, admits he can't do it all by himself. "Danny is one piece of the machine and if one piece is gone the machine falls apart," assistant coach Joshua Pittman said. In an offense, which marches to the steady, pounding beat of Gallardo and freshman Victor Adetoye, everyone is thriving. Soon the run and shoot style of offense Metro plays will be renamed to the run and score offense. Gallardo doesn't do much of the running and he doesn't have the "tuibo jets" of Adetoye-not many do-but he does love the ball at his feet, when the game is on the line. "I like being the hero," he said. "I want my team to be comfortable in that if we are down they can depend on me to bring us up and I expect the same from them." Gallardo has hopes of playing on a Major League Soccer team, but mainly he wants to play soccer as long as the heart, body, and tongue is willing. "I want everybody to know that I'm a person that is outgoing," Gallardo added. "lt'.s part of my game-I like to talk. I love to let everybody know that Ican be a leader and I can carry this team with me. But we have such depth on our team that anybody can step in and play and just watching everybody is exciting."

Men's soccer team to face formidable Fort Lewis
.- m
Nick Gamer
THlhtlopolMoa
Whenever Metro and Fort Lewis men's soccer gets together, the games are always close and most of the time the Skyhawks win the games. In the past five years, Fort Lewis has a commanding lead in the series, going 7-2-1 including a sweep of the season series last year. Things have been known to change. When the teams meet Sept. 29 in Durango, the advantage could be on Metro's side. "1' The Roadrunners are ranked No. 1 in the Midwest Region and No. 6 in the National Soccer Coaches As.5ociation of America poll. Fort Lewis, on the other hand, is No. 4 in the region and No. 25 in the nation. '路 On paper, the game looks to belong to Metro. They outscore, out shoot, and out defend the national runners-up from last year. Roadrunner coach Brian Crookham said that looks are not always what they appear. "I think that it's very tough to go into a place .... like Fort Lewis, place where they don't lose," Crookham said. "Play a team that is ranked in the Top 25, coming off a bad result (1-0 loss to Regis), and feel like we are a favorite there could be stretching it a bit." ... Sophomore goalkeeper Eric Butler agrees with his coach's comment. "They are good, just like every other year," Butler said. "They are prepared to face the best team that they have faced this season. I don't think that they will take us too lightly, nothing on
'-
paper matters right now." Crookham said he feels there are three things his team needs to do in order to beat Fort Lewis. "Be solid defensively, which we have been all season," Crookham said. "Two and three both deal with composure issues. We have to be composed when we deal with the opportunities we get in front of the goal and finish those opportunities. 路~d we have to be composed in a hostile environment, not let things Brian Crookham affect us outside of soccer. They will have a big and vocal crowd. They are a big, strong team and we have to focus on soccer and soccer only." For Crookham and the Roadrunners, this game could be a measuring stick to show them where they are at and where they still have to go. "I think that our players have done a really good job of looking at the next game we play and that is what we have been preaching about," Crookham said. "I don't think ~t we have been looking ahead, pretty focused on who we have to play next maybe a difference between this team and teams of the past." For Fort Lewis and coach Jeremy Gunn, this game is important after suffering a 1-0 loss to Regis last weekend. "Every game is important," Gunn said. ''The loss to Reigs was devastating, but we have seven of our last 10 games at home while a team like Metro has seven of their last 10 games on the
road." Abreakdown of upcoming Metro/Fort Lewis game by offense, defense and goal keeping:
OFFENSE: Fort Lewis: On offense, Fort Lewi.5 (5-2-2, 3-11 RMAC) will be missing on of its leader, senior Brain Fredrick, who went out of the Regis game and will miss the Metro game and maybe the season. Frederick had led the Skyhawks with eight points and was tied for the team lead with three goals. Crookham said even with him out of the lineup, the Roadrunner game plan should not change. "We have set goals; go and play well, play the same style that we have been, tight defensively and create opportunities offensively," Crookham said. "It doesn't matter what 11 players they put on the field. Everyone on that roster can play. Them losing Brian is not good for them, but it won't change what we have to accomplish." As a team, they are scoring an average of almost two goals a game, and have out shot opponents 162-121. Metro: The Roadrunners (8-0-0, 4-0-0) have the most explosive offense in the conference that comes from sophomore forward Danny Gallardo and freshman Victor Adetoye. Gallardo leads the team with eight goals and 18 points while Adetoye i.5 right behind him with six goals and 13 points. As a team, Metro has out shot opponents

187-55. Scoring, the Roadrunner has recorded 21 goals and 20 assists. The team last year in 19 games scored 32 goals and 26 assists. Gunn said that he didn't want to give anything away before the game. "I don't think that this is something that I should be discussing with the media," Gunn joked. "We have a very tight defense and we have only allowed one goal in the past two games, we have some ideas on how to stop them."
DEFENSE AND GOAL KEEPING: Fort Lewis: The Skyhawks are showing some weakness in the defense and the keeping, allowing nine goals through nine games. Last year, Fort Lewis, through nine games, had allowed three goals and all of the goals came in one game (3-1 loss to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs). Senior keeper Steve Berguland has not been the keeper that he was last year. In 766 minutes, he has allowed eight goals and a .940 goals against average. In 24 games last season, he allowed 15 goals and recorded a .592 GM. Metro: Butler and the rest of the Roadrunner defense so fat this season has showed that getting the ball in the net will be something that will not be easy. Butler has already surpassed his career high in shutouts when he recorded his fifth against Regis. He has six on the season. Butler has allowed one goal and has a .13 GM. The defense has allowed 55 shots on the season, with 22 of them being on goal.
