African-American studies major cut by CCHE Ill Micaela Duarte n.lhtftlpa•H

A major in the ·African-Ameri~an Studies department will no longer be offered starting in fall of 2001, due to a lack of graduating students in the major. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education has said that if any program chat does not graduate at least three students from any major program within a three-year period, than the major must be cut from the college's offered majors. "The important thing is for people co understand is that the program is still there and students can still focus their major on it (AfricanAmerican studies), just in the individualized degree program," said Debbie Thomas, vice president of College Communications. New

students wanting co major in African-American Studies may still major in the field, only the degree would be under the Individualized Degree Program at Metro, where students can design their own degrees to what they would like to major in if that specific major is not available ac Metro. The current 13 students who have declared their major as seeking an African-American studies degree will have four years co complete che degree at Metro, said Sheila Kaplan, president of Metro, in an faculty and staff e-mail on Oct. 12. ''.Although African-American Studies classes continue to be popular with Metro students, few choose to major in the subject, and the number of graduates has fallen below the CCHE threshold," Kaplan wrote. The major will not be available co students who have not previously enrolled in the program, Thomas said.

With the cutting of the major from the studies degree program were going to graduate African-American studies department, the faculty this year. Thomas said that could not happen this and staff within the department will remain the year. "I believe the major is vital to the college and same Thomas said. All of the current classes will Metro is the only college in the Denver area that also still be available to the student population to fulftll the multicultural requirement as well as the offers a major in African-American studies," said Akbarali Thobhani, professor ofAfrican-American minor in African-American studies. The African-American studies major is studies ac Metro. "I am very distres.sed that it is currently going through the proces.s in which all going to be discontinued." The African-American studies program has degree programs that fall behind in graduates over a three-year period must go through with been in this kind of trouble before. The program the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. was in danger of being cut in spring 2000, due to "Understanding the number of graduates in a lack of graduates in the 1998-99 school year. the program, and with what we have to work The major was exempt from the discontinuation with the end result will be no different," Thomas by the college, and the CCHE.

Facult¥ e-mail systems gets new look with Outlook ---

-·-

M Brian Keithline lllni. ..... , .... There is a new outlook for Metro's campuswide e-mail system-'- Microsoft Outlook. The new system, however, won't have much of an impact on students. Metro faculty members and administrators will be using Outlook to send and receive emails while students will continue to use the Clem-based e-mail accounts, Leon Daniel, Metro's associate vice president of Information Technology, said in a written document. Metro began the transition to the Outlook ~oftware in July, and most of Metro's employees are currently using the program. Before the switch, the college had used a program called Beyond Mail, manufactured by Banyan, Inc. The company, however, is discontinuing that software in December, prompting Metro to choose a different e-mail setup. "The timing was driven by Banyan," Daniel

said. So far, there have been few-il any-major gripes about using Outlook. For most staff members, it's only a matter of learning the software and becoming accustomed to using it on a daily basis. There have been concerns over whether Outlook will be more vulnerable to computer viruses, but Daniel said there are security devices in place to reduce those risks. The college uses a computer setup to protect its software and computers from hackers and viruses. The way Outlook has been configured for the campus server also helps keep it safe. "The most prevalent risks with Outlook occur when it is used in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server," Daniel said. Metro doesn't use the Exchange Server and that reduces the risk of viruses, he added. One of the more memorable viruses in computer history, Melissa attacked PCs and Macs through e-mail systems, particularly Microsoft Outlook. The virus was activated

appeal process unavailable because the motion would automatically denied, Thomas said. "Theoretically, we could make an appeal but because of the rules, it would not be granted, so

we really don't have a choice in the matter," Thomas said. Thomas said the college would have to explain to the commission why the major should be given an exemption and also would have to prove that students would be graduating from

' the program relatively soon. "This isn't something· the college had a decision in or the administration of the college," Thomas said. "The college didn't say 'no, were are not going to exempt the major,' we had no choice in that."

The college could try to reinstate the program if there was a significant amount of students wanting to major in the degree, by going through a process with the commission, Thomas said.

Police t~aining program starts . Colorado branch GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) - A training program that plucks the best an~ the brightest from college campuses and puts them on the streets in police uniforms is coming to Colorado. It is part of a national initiative that has touched 26 states so far. It promised a new breed of law enforcement officers but has been controversial for its cost, military-style training techniques and its founder, a politically connected maverick. The Police Corp.s, launched in the mid-1990s as part of a sweeping congressional crime bill, strives for police officers who are "a cut above," supporters say. Corps recruits hold college degrees in a variety of fields. They've been through training twice as rigorous as Colorado's basic peace officer standards. And if all goes as planned, they'll come equipped with problem-solving skills that go beyond a ticket book and a pair of handcuffs. "We're hoping to get recruits who are oriented toward a broader focus," said Arvada Police Chief Ron Sloan, who serves on the Corps advisory board and is interested in hiring as many as four graduates. "That's what we've been trying to do for several years now, to get officers to see their role as broader than just application of the law," Sloan said. ·~rest is not the only tool we have for solving community problems." So far, about 10 students have app ied to the state's Police Corp.s program. Those in charge of recruiting are pushing for a couple hundred applications by the Nov. 17 deadline. The first class of 20 to 35 students will begin training in June. The corp.s lures potential officers and police agencies with attractive financial incentives. Recruits receive reimbursement for college tuition or loans up to $30,000. In exchange, they must promise to work for a Colorado law enforcement agency for at least four years. The federal government pays departments $10,000 per recruit for each of the officer's first four years. The money can be used to offset salary or other re3f>urces. 'There is really no loser in this," said Parker Police Chief Tom Cornelius, who also serves on the corps board. Cornelius hopes to hire two to four recruits. He likes the program because it combines an emphasis on addres.sing social problems with the standards and training that accompanied the push for more professional law enforcement. "I get a candidate who is college-educated and trained in community policing and problemsolving. These officers don't give it any special name. They believe that's just the way you do policing," he said.

Deadline for money for educational conferences Nov. 1 The deadline for students in need of financial support to attend or present at regional and national educational conferences is Nov. 1. The Student Travel Program, through the Office of Student Life, awards up to $650 monthly to help defer the cost of airfare and registration for students who want to attend educational conferences.

The man who stabbed to death Metro student Jennifer Foretich was sentenced to 80 years in prison Oct. 17. Paul Tinsley III received the maximum sentence for second-degree murder for the November 1998 death of Foretich,19. Foretich had broken off her relationship with Tinsley shortly before he killed her at her mothers home in Highlands Ranch.

Level playing field an iUusion Imagine you made more money than other people. No special reason, let's just assume it's because people somehow have the idea that you are just a little bit better than others. Now, suppose this economic advantage AND a tendency to be promoted faster and to higher positions could be yours without Danielle Haraburda having to sweat it out paying for a costly education? Sound too good to be true? Not, apparently, if you're a man in America. A report released in August by the National Center for Education Statistics found that for women to garner comparable respect to men's in the workplace, she must attend a college with higher admission standards. What this translates into, more often than not, is higher tuition and higher levels of achievement for females, all to be treated equally with their less accomplished male counterparts. Additionally, the report also states that

because of the gross inequalit}' between men and women in this country, but because of the growing perception so many seem to have chat this disparity doesn't even exist. There seems to be an idea sweeping the country that men, particularly white males, have been oppressed by Institutions such as Affirmative Action. Let's be realistic, while these "oppressed" men make an average of 75 cents more an hour than women, and while they occupy higher levels of management than females, isn't it a little ludicrous to lament their fate in society? Additionally, so-called reverse discrimination cases are judged in favor of the_ plaintiff more often than traditional discrimination cases in which the plaintiff is claiming discrimination due to gender or race. With all these advantages in their corner, I'm having a hard time figuring out what so many people are crying about. I'm not trying to bash men. I don't hate them and I don't blame them alone for this . problem. This is obviously a societal ill. I have often heard women perpetuate this lame idea that. men are somehow targeted and suffering from today's growing push for equality. I also believe that many men are fair, hardworking, and deserve the money they make and the position . they maintain. But I get mightily irritated when I hear them, or anyone else, pretend that the playing fieldis·level. It's noc, it never has been, and if people don't start examining the truth about gender disparity in this country, instead of buying into defensive excuses, it never will be.

'Jsuffer from the delusion

people really believe in fairness, a.lthough we might all have different ideas of how this ideal is achieved.'

men with families will usually earn more than other single men and more I than women with families-for the same job. As ridiculous as this all sounds, I swear I'm not making it up. It's true. Is this outrageous? Obviously, the a11S1Ver is yes. · I hav.e little doubt, no matter if you are male or female, you'd probably agree. I suffer from the dtlusion people really believe in fairness, although we might all have different ideas of how thls ideal is achieved. So after reading this report, I'm a little frustrated.

A small plane has been sabotaged and you have fifteen minutes to figure out what is wrong with it. The safety of the flight . depends on it. It sounds like a bad James Bond movie or an introduction to a new Nintendo game about to hit the market. But it is just one of the many scenarios that will face the Metro Precision Flying Team as it competes in...the Regional Intercollegiate Flight Competition to be held in

~s. Montana, October 18-24. . ruce Christian, associate professor of Aerospace Science at si~ce the Fall of '87, described one of the ground events that 1m will be competing in during the upcoming event. Lhey take an airplane that is perfectly fine and do some clly things to it," Christian said. "They have an airframe 1nic and they will go through and detach some wires or leave a h _§Pmewhere." Christian explained that it is up to the :titors to go through their preflight checks and find any flaws Ile aircraft, sometimes 30 to 35 problems. fter earning a masters of science degree in Aeronautical and 1autical Engineering from Ohio State University, where he also Lhis private pilot's license, Christian entered the Navy in 1971. 1g bis wings in 1973, Christian became an instructional pilot, ng all phases of Naval flight. After leaving the Navy in 1977 and for Frontier Airlines and doing Leer Jet charter work, Christian seeking other pilotjo~s after Frontier folded in August of 1986. discovering .that he had heart trouble, and realizing his current ~ had folded, he found his way to Metro. ::'.htistian admitted that sometimes he does get bored up there. pared with Navy flying, when you go up there and have a dog with somebody, it's a lot more fun than flying up there straight trrow on auto pilot," he said. rith five teams competing in the regional event, Christian said 1order for Metro's team to advance to nationals this spring, the llviU need to finish either first or second. Metro finished second ~ax=· and Christian hopes the team can finish high enough this ) make it to Nationals, even.though this is a brand new team. ach event is judged by adding points as the team member makes take, whether it is in the ground competitions or the flight :titions. It~like golf," Christian said. "The lowest points wins." fpically, a simulator event for somebody who has never flown a Illar pattern before would score 15,000 points, Christian ned. But a typical winner at regional would have about 3,000 , where as a winner at nationals would have 1,500 points. ob Willson, a senior ~ajoring in Aviation Technology, will be p~ti.ng in four events at regionals, the first of which is the a.tea Comprehensive Aircraft Navigation. 'l 's the most all encompassing event in my opinion," Willson le explained the event as a written test in which the competitors must answer about 50 questions in 50 minutes. "It basically involves 50 questions in 50 minutes," Willson explained. "It's all about flight planning." The event requires the competitors to map out a hypothetical situation that involves navigation points a route, including passengers, stops, wind speed and fuel inption, according to Willson. It is up to the individuals to tine at which time they will reach each point along their trip. n~ther event that Willson will be competing in is the simulator ev.ent. Willson explained the competitors are given a simulator pattern and must be able to hit points along the pattern involving airspeed, heading, and altitude. Willson also said that at some competitions they are allowed to take the· pattern with them into the simulator. "It's better if you have it memorized," Willson said. "Because if you have it memorized, you' pay more attention to the instrument panel." Since Willson is not a licensed pilot, he will not

be competing in any of the flight events, but he will be involved in the message drop event, which requires the pilot lo maintain a certain altitude while his partner drops a piece of balsa wood onto a target on the ground. At a cruising speed of about 90 knots, Willson said, the event is about maintaining altitude and wind. "It's a matter of judging the wind," Willson said. While many of the teams Metr.o will be going up against have their own aircraft, members of the team have to come up with the money to rent their own planes. Willson said it can cost between $60 .and $70 an hour for renting the Cesna l 72s, which they plan on using for the competition. As far as paying for a pilot's license at Metro, Willson said it is up to the student. "You're on your own for instructiort at Metro," he said. Willson hopes that by the time he graduates and gets his license, he can get a job doing what he loves to do. "I want to work my way up through the ranks," he said. "My ultimate goal is to get paid to fly." While the precision flight team at Metro will not be confused with the Navy's Blue Angel acrobatic flight team, Christian is quick to point out the goal behind the regional and national competitions and the purpose of the flight team is all about safety and producing the best pilots possible. "The events that we fly are actually called SAFECON's, Safety and Flight reviewuation Conference," Christian said. "It's the main goal," he said, referring to safety. "All of these events are things a beginner pilot would be doing on a day to day basis." Ahriel Greenfield, the flight team's safety officer, is there to make sure that the rest of the team is aware that safety is always the number one priority. "Everyone kind of has a responsibility on the team," Greenfield said. "I make sure that everything is safe and everybody goes out and flies safely." The Metro team will be going up against some heavy hitters at regionals . Christian said. For instance, the team from the Air Force _ Academy in Colorado Springs is the one to Dave Heckmann practices maneuvers in his rented single engine beat. aircraft Oct. 14. "They will spend typically more money than we have for the entire year on fuel just practicing before we even arrive. No kidding," he said. · But Christian won't let that discourage him from putting together the most successful and competitive team he can. They .have done silent auctions and have received money from the dean's office for support. The silent auction raised $8,700 last semester, and the team has also done plane washes and pizza sales, Christian said with a chuckle. • "Frankly, it's really hard to raise money," he explained. "Most of these folks are going to school full time, working a job, so.m etimes more than one job, and then trying to get out to flight team. It's really up to the students, and if the students don't have money, it's tough to practice." Last year' s national event was a success for the team. They took home the Safety Award that is sponsored by American Airlines. With the trophy comes another reward for the team members. Each member .was given time in the American Airlines simulator. Christian explained that this is a unique opportunity, considering simulator time for the airlines can run in excess of $1,000 an hour. In order to become a member of the flight team, Christian said that all a person needs is your private pilot's license and enroll in the flight team class. Christian plans on taking 12 or 13 people to this year's regional competition, and sees Utah State's team as the one to beat out for second place in order to make it to nationals this spring, which will be held .at the University of North Dakota.

Photographer uses images to express beauty of freedom

_..

'-.

Jennifer Grey thllftlopolRan

Farhad Vakilitabar uses an unusual photographic technique to symbolize life in Iran. His photographs, which have been double-exposed in camera are on display through Oct. 31 in the Auraria Library Gallery. This technique leaves the element of control to chance, creating photographs that have layers of meaning. Vakilitabar first finds an image or foundation and then finds its conceptual counterpart. This is the element that leaves the Farhad Vakllitabar audience to contemplate the meaning of its imagery. Vakilitabar said he is searching for different meanings and finding his traditions in "culture, whatever you see, smell, or colors that carry in them things that inspire us to celebrate differences, and being proud of different ways of being with the freedom of statement." Unlocking the door is named after the image of two veiled women's shadows in front of a large, hardwood door aJl_d according to Vakilitabar symbolizes women blocked by the traditional law of "hiding their beauty" under chadors. Vakilitabar said that limit of tradition really affected him and said we should be working toward celebrating freedom, individual freedom and seeing women as important as men. "We want to see the garden. Imagine someqne comes along and says that we have to cover all the roses and tulips in the garden. It's kind of strange," Vakilitabar said. '~d we are all tulips and flowers in this garden and we have to be able to grow and become who we are and society should support that and then we'll have a better society and we'll all bloom." He brought back layered images of mosques, gardens and castles. One picture is of an Armenian Christian church and rural river scenes. He captured a picture of veiled women layered witlii,colorful carpet called Symmetry. Another one contains men writing letters at a table on the sidewalk for those whom cannot. "Mixing architecture with other elements, I want to add a beauty to what's there. To come up with something abstract, with images of a different quality," he said. Vakilitabar lived in Iran for 19 years then came to the United States to study, earning degrees electronics engineering and graduating from Metro with a degree in meteorology in '95. He has also worked at the Auraria Library in technical services for 15 years. His family lives in Tehran and the images shot for this series are from Esfahan and Shiraz. He said that 25 years after leaving Iran, he goes back as a tourist and visits areas of the country he never saw when he lived there. "Iran is not considered a rich country in terms of economics but in terms of many other things Iran is a very rich country, an old country with a lot of roots. Very strong poetry, architecture and art that is deeply developed."

King Center opens concert with guest conductor The Oct. 15 Inaugural Concert in the King Center Concert Hall featured guest conductor Hal Tamblyn, who has been with Metro since 1971. There was also a ceremony following the concert to dedicate the Hal Tamblyn Guest Artist Dressing Room. Tamblyn is in his thirtieth year of teaching at Metro, was the chair of Metro's music department for 24 years, and now is Metro's Professor of Music and Coordinator for the Arts. Tamblyn became chair of the department in 1976 when the music department was moved to Kelli McWhirter/lh llebopollon the Arts building, but there were no performance

facilities on campus. The music department had to develop its performing programs in olfcampus facilities. So throughout Tamblyn's career as department chair he made it a point to bring a performance facility to the Auraria Campus. He became known for his strong advocacy for the arts and for facilities on campus. Since Tamblyn has been so instrumental in bringing the King Center to Auraria the Guest Artist Dressing Room was named in honor of him.

Someone should tell the Metro men's soccer team not to schedule any games on Friday the 13th next year. And if they do have to plaf.i ~that day, make sure its not against C.Olorado School of Mines. "" The Orediggers came to the Auraria Fields Oct. 13"ft defeated Metrol-0. With the Mines win, it snaI>tXO the Roadrunner's seven-game home winning streak, won the season series 2-0 and took a big step toward claiming the Rocky Mountain Athletic C.Onference title and the right to host the conference tournament Nov. 34. With the lo.s.s, Metro (10-2-1, 5-2 RMAC) fell a game behind the Orediggers (11-2-2, 6-1-1) and took a major drop in the national and regional ranks. The team fell from No. 4 last week to No. 21 this week nationally and from No. 1 in the region to No. 3. Mines on the other hand went up from No. 24 to No. 7 in the nation and moved into the No. 1spot. The game was even throughout, both teams having 13 fouls, Mines holding a slight edge in saves (5-4) and also had a one shot advantage, 1615. But that one shot was a big one. With 13:05 left in the contest, the ball was deep inside the Roadrunners goalkeeper's box. But before Metro could clear the ball out, Mines midfielder jay Mankamyer blasted a shot that Roadrunners sophomore keeper Eric

â&#x20AC;˘

Butler tried to kick out of the net, but the ball had already croS.5ed the goal line and Mines had the one goal lead and the game. Mankamyer knew Metro would be ready for them, since Mines demolished Metro 6-2 in Golden 12 days earlier. "We knew that they would come out pumped up, we put a beating to them last time which was fortunate for us," Mankamyer said. 'J\nd some ~unfornfnate forns, they came out fired up like they did, they played well and it came down to one lucky chance." The goal was not a work of art or the best goal that he has ever scered. "It wasn't a textbook, it wasn't anything sketched out, we were at the right plane at the right time." Mankamyer said Butler said despite the lo.s.s, the team is fine and will rebound for the remaining four conference games. "We still have a lot of games to go, we are not done yet, its only our second loss of the year, its just a loss." Butler said. Metro coach Brian Crookham said his team played well but couldn't finish on the many chances that they had to score. "We did a good job of making him (Mines keeper) look good," Crookham said. "We had opportunities, we didn't put opportunities away, we are not going to win ball games like that especially this tight, playing a team that is very good. 'The bottom line is that we still have only lost to one team, we can take it for what its worth. We will see them again, I promise you that."

Metro win streak hits 11 with win over Highlands

... ............ MEric Eames

,..

Despite the foot-stomping crowd that was there for the visiting New Mexico Highlands, Metro's volleyball team defeated Highlands in four games, 15-8, 15-7, 8-15 and 15-8 on Oct. 13. "You can tell that New Mexico really picked it up when they had that crowd with them," Metro defensive specialist Laura Darling said. "But we are not a team that relies on crowd support to feed off of." With the Cowgirls trailing in the match 3-1, the Highlands football team showed up to give its support to the volleyball team. Add in the rest of the Highland supporters, the home crowd suddenly turned hostile. But Metro players didn't let the noise bother them. Instead, they blocked out the crowd and went to score seven unanswered points to win the game and the match. Freshman Jessy Roy had a game high 19 kills, while junior Marina -Bazana (16), junior Mei-Rong Lu (14), were right behind her. Metro setter Devon Herron recorded 65 assists and pushed her assist total closer to the

millennium mark (962). The Roadrunners (15-5, 10-1 Rocky Mountain Athletic C.Onference) jumped out to a quick 5-0 led in the first game, but Highlands scored three points to cut the lead to 5-3. Then Roy took over. She would have seven kills and nine dig; in that first game to help Metro to the 15-8 win. After falling behind 1-3 to start the second game, Metro ran off nine unanswered points and won the second game 15-7. In the third game, Highlands (16-3, 9-2) finall_y started to get something going offensively. They attacked the Metro defense scoring five straight points..Highlands seemed to have found the one weakness on the Roadrunners-blocking. "Everything they were trying to do was down the line and we were not making that blocking adjustment," Hendricks said. "It is very difficult to f.ihtr defense when we don't put up a effort to Ila up a good, strong bled:." New Mexico Highlands took advantage of the flaw and won the game 15-8..

days, (Oct 13-15), the Roadrunners gained three games in the tight race for the F.a.stern Division crown in the RMAC. No. 25 Roadrunners defeated New Mexico Highlands, University of CU-C.olorado Spring; and Southern C.Olorado. With the three wins, the Roadrunners extend its winning streak to 13 games. Against Highlands, juniorJessy Roy lead the team with 19 kills and 23 digs and freslunan Devon Herron dished out 65 assists. After Metro won the first two games, 15-8, 15-7, ~came back to win Game 3 15-8, but Metro was too much for the (.owgirl.s, winning the final game 15-8. Roy lead the team in kills again the next night against CU-O>lorado Spring;, as the Roadrunners won in three games 15-5, 15-5, 15-13. Roy fini5hed the game with 20 kills. Herron had a game high 37 Jessy Roy assists in the three game match. Metro dominated Southern Colorado 15-4, 15-5, 15-1. For the third straight match, Roy recorded a game high 18 kills. In the three matches, Roy batted out 57 kills and 38 dig; and was named the RMAC player-of-the-week.

Men's Soccer (10-2-1, 5-2): For the second time this season, the Roadrunners found themselves on the Ja;ing end against Colorado School of Mines, this time 1-0. Metro had its seven game home winning streak was snapped. The game was even throughout, but in the 13th minute, Mines midfielder jay Mankamyer scored inside the keepers box to give Mines the lead. After 13 games, sophomore forward Danny Gallardo still leads the RMAC in goals with 10. Danny Gallardo

Women's Soccer (9-5-1, 6-2): The women's team won two big games on the road this past weekend, defeating New Mexico Highlands 10 in overtime and Southern Coforado 1-0. For the first time this season, the Roadrunners are ranking in the region, finding themselves at No. 5 this week. Junior Jennifer Kitano scored the game-winner for Metro State six minutes into overtime. Sophomore Sara Norkoli had the assist. Sophomore goalie Bridget Gallagher got the win and Bridget Gallagher recorded four saves. She replaced the injured Stephanie Boucher two minutes into the game. Freshman Marque Derenzo scored the gamewinning goal just before halftime. Gallagher got her second win in two days for Metro. With her two shutouts and six saves this past weekend, Gallagher was honored as the RMAC Player-of-the-Week.

Game of the season awaits Roadrunners

Eric Eames nt.11..,_..n

On Sept. 8 the University of NebraskaKearney volleyball team defeated Metro 15-12, 15-11, 15-10 giving the Roadrunners their first loss in conference play. Forty-two days and 13 straight wins later, No. 25 Metro (17-5, 12-1 RMAC) will meet up with No. 12 Nebraska-Kearney (22-3, 13-1 RMAC) on Oct. 20, 7 p.m. at the Auraria Events Center. Thi.5 game has all the making of being the most imfX>rtant game for the Roadrunners thi.5season. With a win, Metro would move ahead of the Lopers in the standings and if the Roadrunners win the rest of their games, they would be hosting the RMAC tournament Nov. 10-11. '/\fter that match we started to turn our season into a different direction," Hendricks said. "By the time we beat Northern Colorado, here, I think that i.5 when we had the confidence that it wasn't what we could do or what we should do, but what we decided we wanted to do." During the stretch, Metro has defeated some of the top teams in the nation. Metro beat No. 10 University of Northern Colorado in a five-set thriller and No. 22 Regi.5 in three games, both games played at the Auraria Events Center "There is no lill)it," freshmen outside hitter ~Roysaid. ::.. With the help of the winning streak, Metro finds itself in the national spotlight. The Roadrunners are ranked No.25 in the nation and No.3 in the Southwest region (behind No. 1 West Texas A&M and No. 2 Kearney). Despite handing Metro its fifth loss more than a month ago, Nebraska-Kearney is the only RMAC team Metro has a all-time losing record . against (5-11). Other than that, both teams are pretty even. Metro has two players with more than 300 kills in Marina Bmna (327) and Roy (328) and two others-Mei-Rong Lu (218) and Michelle McBurney (214)-with more then 200. Nebraska-Kearney does not have a player in the 300-kill club, but has three players over the 200 kills: Andrea Raup (239), Amber Shenk (236), and Miranda Rhodes (224). Metro boasts the best setter in Division 11freshman Devon Herron. She has setup the Roadrunners' attack with 1,032 assi.5ts for a NCAA Division II leading 14.14 assi.5t per game average. The Lopers' setter, Carper, is not too far behind with 1,021 assists. But the key to winning the match is not who can out kill whom, but who can win the first game. When losing the first game Metro has a 2-5 record while the Lopers are 1-3. On the flip side, when both teams win the first game they are a: combined 36-0 (Metro 15-0 and Kearney 21-0). "You come out early in the match and establish a tone and you establi.5h control," Hendricks said. "It's not impossible to establi.5h that after losing the first game, but I definitely think there is a mental side to that." Kearney coach Rick Squiers agrees with

Scott Smeltzer/TH lhWpolitM Metro outside hitter Marina Bazana goes up for the klll In a game earlier In the season.

Hendricks. "It establishes confidence for the players," Squiers said. Yet, Hendricks said the game will boil down to who can rattle whom first. "When you have a team like NebraskaKearney or a team like ours, where your balanced, it really comes down to getting that team out of system and not allowing the setter to have choices," Hendricks said. 'They have a phenomenal setter (in Carper). And ifyou allow them to pass perfect passes she can destroy you. (Carper) will have all of her options available and she will use them." For Carper, she will have two less attackers to give the ball to. All-American Kelli Brummer who has a severely sprained ankle and AllConference Raup who has a di.5located finger are not expected to play, said Squiers. But don't expect the Lopers not to shy away from the challenge. "We always look to play our game first and deal with the opponent second," Squiers said. "Metro will pose many challenges as they are strong sideout team with several players who can attack the ball effectively." Hendricks, meanwhile, won't change anything strategy wise, because there is a lot to be said about the Lopers, who were 1999 RMAC Champions. · Still, there are holes in the Lopers' game and Hendricks wants the Roadrunners to exploit them, without losing control. "If we don't control the things on our side,

they are going to get you," she said. "They're going to make you pay for it." The only time Nebraska-Kearney has paid for it in the standings is in the fifth game of the match. All three of the Lopers' defeats have come in five-game matches, a situation Hendricks is not looking forward to getting into. 'That's playing overtime," she said. Hendricks and the Roadrunners are looking forward to returning the favor to Nebraska-Kearney and era.sing the more than a month-0ld sour taste from their mouths. "(The team) would tell you that they left that gym (at Nebraska-Kearney) that day feeling that they had not competed," Hendricks said. Winning hasn't necessarily become everything for Metro, but it certainly is the only thing they have come to know the past month and a half. "It's the dream of every team, ro win all the time," Roy said. "I remember Oosing), but I don't think it's going to happen again." Ifthey do lose, Roy said they will learn from it and get better. Just how better Metro can be remains to be seen according to Hendricks. "You're never quite there, but I say we are somewhere around a A minus to a B plus," Hendricks said. "I'm incredibly pleased with this group." "I want them to continue to grow, because I don't think we have met our full potential yet." There is no better time then Oct. 20 to put the full potential on di.splay.
