Board of state colleges opposes umbrella plan ,_ .

DENVER (AP) - The Board of State Colleges is opposing a proposal to fold Western, Mesa and Adams state colleges into the Colorado state university system.

Meanwhile, students at the University of C.Olorado at Denver are protesting a proposal to limit the school to graduate students.

The recommendations are part of a statem~ndated study conducted by an Olympia, Wcish., consultant as part of efforts to overhaul higher education in Colorado.

Afinal report is due next week before it goes to the General ~embly for consideration in January.

Group fights CU's ethnic profiling

~

..

BOULDER (AP) - A newly formed student group wants the University of Colorado to stop collecting information on the racial makeup of the school.

The group, the Equal Opportunity Alliance, says the university is practicing racial profiling by gathering such data o.n the university.

It wants officials to delete the box on application forms that asks the race of applicants.

"Students need to be considered equally in the admissions process, and race cannot be a factor," said group leader Jessica Peck, a white senior at CU-Boulder.

"The race box is inherently racist and discriminatory."

Group members say they want more diversity on campus but that racial preferences aren't the way to achieve it.

Other groups have lobbied the university to set numerical goals for minority groups.

The Board of Regents rejected quotas last year, approving instead a plan calling for continuous improvement in the percentage of minority students on campus.

Ara Cruz, a CU-Boulder junior and chair of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan, opposes the Equal Opportunity Alliance's goal, saying colleges need to look at race and ethnicity to help level the .playing field for minority students who have had fewer advantages.

"I think if the race question were eliminated, it's almost like you're ignoring the historical oppression," Cruz said. '~d it almost furthers the oppression for people of color because you couldn't track what's happening."

CU-Boulder's minority population lags behind state figures. Minorities comprise 21 percent of Colorado's high school graduates, according to state figures.

Thirteen percent of the university's students are members of minorities.

The Head of Metro's Department of Political Science Norman Provisor, left, and Former Foreign Minister of Iran, Ibrahim Yazdi, pause after Yazdi's speech on ''The Face of Iran: From the Hosta:~e Crisis to the Present" in the Twoli Oct. 19.

Minister: education essential to revelations M Jessica Rouch lllTM•W,1llu It has taken the Political Science department two years to get him to speak at Auraria but Iranian foreign minister, Ibrahim Yazdi, finally spoke Oct. 19 about a number of issues including, revolution, democracy and the rostage crisis.

Yazdi emphasized the importance that education plays on the revolutionary process.

In 1959, he left Iran to study in America, where he helped to form the Islamic Student Association. Starting in 1968 the ISA was recreated in France and throughout Europe.

Yai.di added the Islamic student association grew from about 7,000 in 1960 to 135,000 in 1979 in the U.S. with his heip.

"Education is essential to revolution," Yazdi said. "Modernism's basic concepts must be digested by the general public through education in order to be incorporated into the governmental systems. Without this process problems will occur."

Yazdi said he hopes the women of Iran will teach their children and continue to become educated many of them are. ''The plight of the women in Iran has been· of much interest worldwide," Yazdi said. "When women marched against foreign domination in the seventies, they saw their ability to create change. Now these_women are mothers and have seen the effects of domination on the people."

The attitude hindering such change is that the Constitutionalists still believe the old concept that science and religion oppose each

other Yazdi said. Many C.Onstitutionalists believe when you are educated you study biology or chemistry and thus become an atheist.

"Many of the intellectuals in Iran have become more committed to Islamic beliefs" after their education and not visa versa he said.

However, Yazdi believes that tolerance and pluralism is unavoidable.

"Democracy is a government for ·the people and by the people. Just like democracy changes from America to Europe, Iran must-create their own democracy as well," Yazdi said in response to the question of whether democracy and Islamic beliefs are contradictory.

When asked about separation of church and state, Yazdi said that Iran doesn't have a 'church' as America does.

F0nda: women's reproductive rights are in · dOrig·er:~: Jaime Jarrett •

n.. ..........

The election in November is critical to preserve women's and girl's reproductive freedoms, political activist Jane Fonda said.

Fonda spoke at the Tivoli Tumhalle Oct. 19 against the antichoice and anti-abortion movement in America, and how she feels they endanger the empowerment of women.

"Opposing choice and opposing contraception has nothing to do with the fetus. It has everything to do with power," Fonda said.

"Reproduction and sexuality are keys to women's empowerment."

The beliefs of the anti-choice forces reflect the mindset that women canl)ot be trusted to make decisions that would be good for their families, Fonda said. That what is good for the family must be determined by experts who than impose their views on her, she said.

"Reproductive rights are human rights," Fonda said. "This is a basic right that is being threatened."

Reproductive health decisions must be made from a woman's

Fonda said that sexual activity, promiscuity and adolescent point of view, Fonda said. Doctors, who are viewing it from the point of health risks, cannot make these decisions, nor can they be pregnancy are results of racism, gender bias, loneliness, poverty, made from policy makers who are weighing it subjectively as a poor parenting and sexual abuse.

"Hope is the best contraceptive," Fonda said. "This has nothing moral issue, she said. to do with race, this is about class.

"When I started my Poor girls feel they have nothing to organization, Georgia Campaign for "Hope is the best lose."

The very things Jane Fonda that would make abortion stand up and fight for what you believe in. unnecessary."

"Help us ensure that every child is a wanted child," Fonda said, Fonda said that Louisiana, which has the nations most strict anti-abortion laws, spends an average of $602 a year per child, "and that the basic right to reproductive choice is a cherished part whereas Hawaii, with the least restrictive abortion laws spend of our democracy."

Fonda founded the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent $4,648 a year per child.

"So I guess what this says to us is, that for these anti-choice Pregnancy Prevention in 1995, which is a statewide effort to reduce activists, life begins at conception and ends at birth," She said. the high rates of adolescent pregnancy in Georgia.

,.

"However, when 99 percent of your people are Islamic, this will show in our voting," Yazdi said.

Just as in any democratic system, the ideas and beliefs of the people come out, Yazdi said. It is the people who vote and even in America religion or anti-religious beliefs play a large part in the vote of the people thus affecting the system, Yazdisaid.

Yazdi said that one of the main controversies in Iran exists between the modernists and the conventionalists and that in Iran many constitutionalists believe that modernism is incompatible with Islamic belief. The main conflict revolves around the balance of powers in Iran.

Yazdi explained that the constitutionalists believe God is the supreme ruler and democracy is blasphemy because it means the people rule.

One man asked why Yazdi would not condemn the acts of present leader, Seyed Mohammed Khatami and asked Yazdi to speak about the FACTFA who arrested, imprisoned, and raped thousands of women and the political killing; of over 30,000 in 60 days in 1988 under Khatami's rule.

colleges battle dip in graduate enr~llment

DENVER (AP) - Colorado colleges are trying to make up for declining numbers of graduate students by recruiting more freshmen.

"If one population isn'.t wanting to come, you need to fill the seats with another population," said Barbara Schneider, admissions director at the University of Colorado.

Between 1996 and 2000, the number of fulltime graduate students in Colorado dipped 5.1 percent, to 12,401 students. During the same period, undergraduate enrollment rose 5 percent, from 125,535 to 132,419.

The numbers are included in a study to be reviewed next month by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

Nationwide, the number of graduate students has been declining about 1 percent per year since the mid-1990s, said Peter Syverson, vice president for research for the Washington, D.C.-based Council of Graduate Schools.

Syverson and other experts said a healthy economy is luring college graduates into jobs rather than graduate school.

Some educators fear long-term impacts if the drop in graduate enrollment continues. 'idvanced degrees really assist in the economic development of a community," CU Vice Chancellor Phil DiStefano said. "When the economy starts to weaken, we won't have the expertise in the work force at the graduate level to help the economy bounce back."

In Colorado, public po.5t-secondary schools are funded based largely on the number of students who take at least 15 credit hours per semester.

Campus officials claim the formula shortchanges them because some graduate students, who often take fewer courses than undergraduates, go uncounted.

Furthermore, graduate programs are more costly. An estimate from 1996-1997 showed the average co.c;t for a full-time equivalent graduate student at CU was more than $19,000 per year, compared with $3,541 for an undergraduate.

Jeanne Adkins, director of policy and planning for CCHE, said instead of "chasing freshmen," institutions need to do more to attract graduate students.

CU Regent Bob Sievers said the state also could help by approving new graduate programs and allowing international students to qualify for in-state tuition after one year, as out-of-state students can.

Journalists do anything for attention Everywhere I look these days, I see Patrick Roy's name in print. We journalists seem to really like the domestic violence/athlete piece, and when it occurs during Domestic Violence Awareness week, well, that's just a bonus. So, morning, Oct. 22, sports, news, and opinion writers all got a journalistic gem when police arrested Roy on a domestic dispute charge for ripping two bedroom doors off their hinges afrer allegedly arguing with his wife. tarn not defending Roy's behavior, nor do I know the intricacies of his argument with his wife, or if his act of aggression was intended to intimidate or harm her. But when I read a story about Roy's arrest and find it filled with unrelated incidents of the brutal murders of women at the hands of their spouse, well . .. is there anything we journalists won't do for sensation?

Ripping apart a door, while obviously childish and stupid, isn't quite the same as murder or prolonged abuse. But Roy's a celebrity, so, I guess it's ok to make that connection. Makes for

good copy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a hockey fan nor do I approve of domestic abuse. But, as already mentioned, I don't really know the details of Roy's relationship, so I'm having difficulties judging him guilty before proven so.

In Colorado, police are required to follow a "must arrest" policy. Any domestic dispute that results not only in physical violence or a verbal threat of such, but also in any property destruction must be treated as domestic violence. This means that anyone who, while having an argument with his or her signifiGant other, breaks anything must be arrested if the police are called to settle the quarrel. I won't go so far as to say I don't support an arrest made if a spouse is afraid for his or her own safety.

I'm just not sure we should consider ' breaking one's own door "domestic violence."

But apparently, the law treats physical abuse and broken objects the same, and while we in the media get to write stories about the sad and horrible murder of women and then tie them to an unrelated sports figure, then, well, I guess it's all the same thing.

'I'm just not sure we should Co nsider break--ing one's own door "domestic Violence.''

"It's like writing in a journal," Baker, who has since left the adult film business, said about being the subject of a documentary.

"Five years later you look back at it and say, 'That was totally ridiculous."'

Many who saw it, agreed that Requiem For a Dream was the best ftlm in the festival.

Darren Aronofsky's follow-up to 1t , Requiem tells the story of four inter-connected characters and their slow decent into addiction. This ftlm confirms the talent of Aronofsky, insuring that the originality of 1t wasn't a one-time thing.

Saturday, October 21 The final day of the festival included Shirley MacLaine's directorial debut, Bruno, followed by a screening of her first ftlm, Alfred Hitchcock's The 7rouble With Harry.

"I had a very nice experience," MacLaine said of directing her first feature, "but I didn't like having to raise the money or finding distribution."

Later that night, Shirley Maclalne MacLaine appeared at the Buell to receive the first Mayor's Lifetime Achievement Award at the closing night ceremony.

"I think they're terrific; they remind you that you're still standing upright, still achieving," MacLaine said of lifetime achievement awards.

The future of the festival at Auraria is uncertain; the Denver Film Society was only able to secure the Tivoli because no one had rented it since AMC's lease ran out earlier this year. Film Society representative Britta Erickson expressed hope to keep the festival on the campus. "We hope that it will be a longterm home for us."

4. Halloween - Can't beat the John Carpenter score!

3. Terror Of Suspiria - Dario Argento, Italy's Hitchcock!

2. The Shining - Improvised "Here's Johnny!" one of the most recognized movie quotes in history!

1. Dawn of the Dead - My pal and former employer George Romero's follow-up to his classic "Night of the Living Dead!" Not to mention that I did the makeup effects, and I'm in it as a renegade biker with a machete.!

Hey kids. Don't feel bad when you hit the videostore and you find The Blair Witch, The Sixth Sense, Scream and the myriad of Scream rip-offs ore already rented.

Weeldy Wrap-Up Volleyball (18-6, 13-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference): Nebraska-Kearney came into the Auraria Events Center and put an end to Metro's 13-match win streak on Oct. 20 in four games, 15-8, 15-4, 13-15, 15-9.

The win almost secures the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament for Kearney while Metro should get the No. 2.

The Roadrunners rebounded the following night to dominate Fort Hays 15-8, 15-4, 15-9.

Kearney,, -sneiPs Metro!s win streak ...-

,>.

With two of the top volleyball teams in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on display Oct. 20, both Metro and University of _Nebraska-Kearney seemed as if they were in the play-offs, not the regular season.

Both the Roadrunners and the Lopers were se:nding kills to a different spot on the court, not hitting a same spot twice.

But unfortunately for Metro, the kills were coming from the fists of Kearney's Miranda .Rhodes and Hayley Oman. For the first time in 13 matches, the outcome did not befit Metr.o.

No. 11 Kearney all but wrapped up the No. 1 spot in the RMAC with its 15-8, 4-15, 15-13, 15-9 victory over No. 25 Metro at the Auraria Events Center. The loss ended Metro's 13-match win streak.

Kearney (23-3, 14-1 RMAC), who also handed Metro its fifth defeat more than a month ago, was without two of its top players (Kelli Brummer and Andrea Raup) for the fourth straight match. But the Lopers didn't miss a beat with Rhodes and Oman leading the attack, finishing with 26 and 20 kills, respectively. · "What you got with Nebraska-Kearney is you got a team that can move two, three, or four starters, and they're deep enough that they are still a very solid team," Metro coach Debbie Hendricks said.

Metro (17-6 overall, 12-2 RMAC) couldn't stop the two Loper hitters and had little luck in finding a hole in its defense. But by no means is the loss devastating because the team is still learning. "(This loss) is not going to take the wind out of our sails," Hendricks said. "It's just going to give us a gauge of where we're at and where we got to be by the end of the season and post season."

Kearney head coach Rick Squiers expects to see Metro again and he is not looking forward to it.

"Most likely we will run into them in the conference tournament somewhere and maybe even in the regional tournament," Squiers said. "We know we are not done dealing with them."

If you compare the two teams, they look similar on paper. The Lopers, though, have the experience, something that Metro is gaining every step of the way and something that decided the last two games, Hendricks said.

In the first two games of the match, though, it was about ball control.

The Lopers had Metro scrambling to adjust and never trailed in .

the entire first game. The Roadrunners became the aggressor in the second game, out-hitting the Lopers .459-.277 behind the strength of Mei-Rong Lu, who had seven kills in the game and finished with 18 for the match. Lu used a mixture of soft tips and cross-court smashes-to keep theLopers' blockers on their heels.

"The first two games were quite alike between the two sides, with one going in our favor and one going in their favor," Hendricks said. "Really, it became a war in game three."

Both teams came out revitalized after the break and began to hammer away at each other in the third game. The lead changed hands five times during the game.

"The third game was just back and forth with some tremendous plays and outstanding volleys," Squiers said. "What it came down to was who was going to get the job done."

With the game tied at 13, the breaks went to the away team, as Metro's Marina Ba?.ana saw her dig float over the net, where Oman killed it. Then Bazana watched her kill attempt never clear the net on game point.

"We were able to get over the hump with a couple of big plays when they really counted," Squiers said. "The third game really set the tone for the fourth game."

The third game didn't necessarily siphon the will out of Metro, and with the score tied at 7, the fourth game looked to be another seesaw battle.

Metro, though, couldn't contain Rhodes or make the quick adjustment, as the Lopers ran off five unanswered points to take the game.

Ba?.ana finished with 13 kills and 27 digs, while Jessy Roy led Metro with 21 kills and added 24 digs. Metro's Devon Herron and the Lopers' Melissa Carper each had 61 assists.

"No los.s is enjoyable, but we can look at it as something we can grow from," Hendricks said. "When we reach a point where we make better decisions, we're going to be a team to be reckoned with."

Meanwhile, with the tournament less than a month away, Ba?.ana can't wait for the next match between the two teams.

"We know we can beat them- we just know that," she said.

"The only thing we got to do is work even harder and go to Nebraska-Kearney and get conference and then regionals."

Squiers knows they'll be there.

"They're going to be heard from yet," Squiers added .

..time in· the match. Miranda Rhodes led the Lopers with a match-high 26 kills and Melissa Carper recorded 61 assists.

For the Roadrunners, freshman Jessy Roy and junior Mei-Rong Lu led the way with 21 and 18 kills, respectively. Freshman Devon Herron had 61 assists in the four games.

As with any group that achieves at a high level- be it a military group, fat&e corporation, or an athletic -program- there is a formula for success that must include a solid philosophy, good people, and tremendous leadership.

Within the Metro volleyball program, we believe in a philosophy that promotes unsel&h commitment, consistent work ethic, and a lifestyle conducive to success in the classroom, on the coon and in life. We have quality athletes, strong in physical ability and in personal character, as well as a highly committed and talented coaching staff.

effort to comeback and tie the game before the half was good.

"We always play with a lot of heart and always with a lot of grit," McDowell said. "You get down three goals and you come back and score three before the half, that's the kind of team we have."

Roadrunner coach Brian Crookham said his team did not continue to perform the way they did in the first 20 minutes of the first period.

"We got away from what we were doing successfully and that's frustrating." Crookham said. 'They hit a couple of good balls, they had a couple of opportunities and they were optimistic with it. What else can you say? They did a good jc>b."

Metro came out in the second half and continued to outshoot the Rangers, 11-6 in the final period. Out of the 11 shots, the Roadrunners came away with two more goals.

Sophomore midfielder Jared Romero was able to draw Kid out of the box and assist Fitzsimmons with his second goal to break the tie.

Metro added the final goal when Fitzsimmons assisted senior midfielder Chico Hooper in the last goal of the game.

Crookham was pleased with the way his team came out and played in the second half.

"We came back and did the things that would work in the second half," Crookham said.

Without question, we are enjoying the success an atmosphere for success long before our staff and players were ever a thought to Metro. We our program is seeing this season, and are proud recognize this, and appreciate the work they did of the work we have done to this point. It is very rewarding when your efforts and building this program years ago.

Third, much of our ability to do those things it accomplishments are recognized by the media, takes to win is due to the support we receive from the campus and the community.

Most importantly, we are not finished. As we our college administration, athletic administration, and the students.

Junior outside hitter Marina Bazana may as well have this phrase tattooed to her arm, for when she is on the volleyball court, she can be considered a deadly weapon.

The hard-hitting Bazana has been a big part of a Metro team that is one of the hottest in the nation, winners of 13 of its last 14 matches. She leads the team in kills per game (4.35) and digs (359).

It is Bazana's tremendous swing at the ball that drives her offensive game. Most of the time, she accomplishes what she sets out to do: drive the ball down the other team's throat.

Bazana takes pride in having such a strong attack, but she also is very humble about how she feels after she kills the ball.

"I get really pumped up, but with the team, not just as an individual/' Bazana said.
