Increased fee promts campus

facelift Matthew Davis The Metropolitan Tuesday morning at Sigi's Pool Hall and Arcade at the Tivoli is packed with students enjoying a break from their classes.

The electronic sounds of video games blasting and screaming throughout the room blend with the familiar crack of stick on cue ball. It is only 11 a.m. but the joint is hopping with activity.

Across the Auraria campus, the Child Care Center is also hopping as students drop off their children and rush off to classes. The center's playground is full of children engaged in the activity of just being kids. Some slide, some swing, while others just happily run around the playground.

No two places on campus could seem so opposite, yet they are connected by one common thread.

Student bond fee money.

The bond fee referendum, which was originally voted down by the Community College of Denver's student population, was voted on again and passed last November when Auraria students voted 875 to 270 in fav.or of -increasing the fees from-$39.50 to $58 per student.

In the spring of 2000, the majority of the Auraria student body, both Metro and the University of Colorado at Denver, voted in favor of a $20.50 raise to the bond fee.

Due to the Community College of Denver's student population voting 51 percent against the increase, the governing board of CCD, the Colorado Community College and the Occupational Education System voted unanimously that spring to deny the implementation of the supplemental bond fee on the fall 2000 tuition bills.

It was CCD's governing board's rejection of the spring 2000 Student Bond Fee Referendum that led to the fee not taking effect in fall 2000.

The increased fee was proposed to help compensate for the $455,000 deficit in the Auraria Higher Education Center budget.

The increased fees are expected to bring in an estimated $1.2 million per semester and will expire in 2021.

It was the rejection of the original bond fee proposal that prompted the budget cutbacks that forced Sigi's to close its doors for seven and a half months and the Child Care Center to cut back on teacher hours. But the cutbacks are all in the past and the Tivoli and campus are already starting to reap the benefits of the increase.

Barb Weiske, director of student auxiliary services, said the impact of the increase can already be seen.

With the reopening of Sigi's the arcade also got a $15,000 facelift, Weiske said. The pool tables were all re-covered and the carpet was replaced.

"The students have really been receptive to it," Weiske 路s aid.

In addition to Sigi's, Weiske said new chairs for the food court were purchased and the old ones were recycled to classrooms.

Another improvement that isn't so readily visible was the

comm1ss10ning of the Slaterpaull architectural group to assess the condition of the Tivoli.

"We are in the process now of having engineers crawl over the building like ants," Weiske said.

The group will pre搂ent its路final report on the 150-year-old building in November. The report, Weiske said, will be a critical moment because it will outline what repairs need to be done first and what can wait for later.

There is one thing, Weiske said, that couldn't wait for the report to come out. Roof replacement has already begun over the police station and B-Movie Cafe.

"The leaks were uncontrollable," Weiske said.

The renovation of this section of the roof alone cost

'We are in the prOCeSS now of having engineers crawl over the building like

ants.' $36,000 Weiske said, adding that other sections will follow as soon as the report is issued.

Gina Hamelin, director of the Child Care Center, said the increase has enabled the center to add more staff hours making a 7 to 1 teacher to child ratio in the classrooms. The center, Hamelin said, will also be adding two new toddler playgrounds in November.

"We definitely wouldn't have gotten these," she said if the referendum would not have passed.

If lines on campus seem longer and crowds seem thicker, they are.

Enrollment for all three Auraria institutions has increased this semester.

While final numbers are not in for all three institutions, Auraria is 'This feeling the same trend affecting campuses around the country.

"This campus has been really busy this semester," said Community College of Denver spokesman Greg Smith.

CCD has had the largest percentage increase this semester - 12 percent more than last year at this time.

"We've had a real marketing push," Smith said. "We've been flat for quite a while.

"I wouldn't project those numbers as final," Smith said. "At this point in time it's difficult to say anything more

than where we were at this point last year. We have a lot of wild cards in the formula."

Metro's enrollment increased has pushed its student population to the most in its history - 18,500.

"My sense is the school is on a roll for the last couple years," said Metro

people think they should go get a degree or finish one."

University of Colorado at Denver spokesman Marshall Collins said while the university's enrollment has increased this semester, it has followed the same pattern for the last three years.

COmpUS has been really busy this Semester' spokeswoman Debbie Thomas. "We've got a lot of attention.

"We think we will have seen a greater increase than any other school in the state, which we are just thrilled about," Thomas said. "We've done a lot of outreach to schools and general outreach, so we're really getting the word out about this school." Thomas said enrollment for this semester has increased 5.2 percent.

"When the economy cools down, enrollment numbers go up," Thomas said. "When things start to slow down,

"To us this might be very natural and normal," he said. "That's why it's hard to compare CCD and Metro."

CU-Denver's enrollment increased 2.6lpercent this semester.

"I know the theory is the economy takes a downturn and admission goes up," Collins said. "That's a general statement you find especially in urban environments."

Metro and CU-Denver will gather final numbers for enrollment after the add/drop deadline has passed.

Backpacks, pagers, and cellular phones are often targeted for theft.

Auraria Campus Police Chief Joseph Ortiz offered some advice on how to avoid becoming a victim of theft. "First and foremost," he said, "always keep belongings within arm's reach, and never leave belongings unattended."

Ortiz also said that keeping a record of serial numbers will greatly assist if something should turn up missing.

Serial numbers are often found in owner's manuals.

"Property, such as bicycles and laptop computers, may be registered through local jurisdictions, and that information may be provided to us if there are any concerns," said Ortiz.

Ortiz said that providing adequate

protection is important. "In the case of bicycles, which are quite large investments," he said, "be sure to provide adequate locks. We recommend placing bicycles in bike racks and using Kryptonite locks." Kryptonite locks can be purchased at bicycle specialty stores.

Chief Ortiz also said that reporting any suspicious activity might prevent a theft from occurring.

Microsoft enters game system market with Xbo:x debut Rival game systems have done the Mindy Macinnis and speed. _T:_h_e_M_,_e-tr-o-p o-lit_o_n_________ "If you're in a racing game and you opposite in promoting new systems. want to stop and walk toward a tree, the tree should look as real close up as it did far away," said Jed Lengyel, a Microsoft Researcher.

As a researcher, Lengyel found using a 6.4-gigabyte per second memory and more RAM than other consoles, graphics could be more realistic than other consoles on the market now. A game player can see grass blow in the wind and footprints on the ground.

Microsoft delayed the launch of Xbox in Japan Aug. 27 to better concentrate on promotions in the United States. Xbox will launch February 22, 2002 in Japan.

Microsoft is releasing its first game system, Xbox, Nov. 8. Xbox is planned to compete head-to-head with the popular Play Station 2 and Nintendo 64.

Microsoft has promoted this new system's features like front-loading DVD tray, the first internal hard drive for storage of game information, and 733 MHz processor to try to beat the competition.

To design Xbox, Microsoft gathered input from 5,000 gamers and game creators from around the world. The researchers found people wanted a system focused on high quality graphics

"We want to succeed first in the United States and ride on that wave in Japan," said Hirohisa Ohura, managing director of Microsoft's Japan unit.

"Failing to arrive before Christmas is not as critical in Japan as it is across the Pacific, especially because Xbox targets hard-core game fans rather than children looking for gifts under the tree," said Takiko Mori, an analyst at UBS Warburg in Tokyo.

Many community sites about Xbox have popped up on the Internet. For more information on Xbox. and links to fans of Xbox sites, got to www.xbox.com.

Graduating students face difficulty in post 1 red ltot' iob market Randy Lioz The Chronicle {Duke University) (U-WIRE) DURHAM, N.C. - When Whitney Griffin graduated from Duke University last spring, she thought she had it made. The economy had not slowed too much, and she was able to secure a job with Pricewaterhouse· Coopers, the largest professional service firm in the world.

But her excitement turned to disappointment when she learned that her start date would be pushed back as late as November. The company did not offer her · any compensation.

"I think it really, really sucks, especially since they are not going to let us know for sure until August whether or not we will be starting in September," she wrote in an e-mail, noting the added burden of finding housing in Washington, D.C. before she knows her strut date. "I may get stuck with two months rent and no salary."

Griffin's story is not unique. Although Duke does not keep statistics, Associate Director of Career Development Tom Halasz says several other students have had similar experiences. Furthermore, about six members of last year's graduating class had their job offers rescinded.

Listen to the news, read the paper or watch the stock market, and you cannot help but wonder if the class of 2002 is destined for unemployment upon graduation. There are earnings warnings and layoff announcements almost daily.

Applications for unemployment benefits have reached a five-year high. Some companies are postponing and even rescinding offers they have already made.

Senior Jason Walker is already worried. "I am somewhat concerned because I've heard too many stories of qualified people not getting jobs. I just feel unlucky that I'm not part of the last couple of graduating classes," he said.

But rising seniors should not despair just yet.

According to the National A.Ssociation of Colleges and Employers, there will be a significant increase in spring hiring this year. Each fall NACE conducts a survey, which this year projected an 18 percent and increase in spring hiring, www.CNN.com reports that the recently

graduated college class has "one of the best job markets ever."

Furthermore, Halasz said even students whose offers were rescinded have found other jobs, and most companies are offering temporary compensation to those with late start dates.

"The market's not red hot anymore, but it's still hot," Halasz says. While some of the employers that Halasz has spoken to are recruiting less, he says that many will actually increase their focus on Duke.

He adds that Duke students have not been affected on the scale of other college students. "They know how to network in order to find positions and opportunities," he says.

Still, Halasz warns that graduates must not limit themselves to one dream job. He says the technology industry has been particularly hard hit, lowering its hiring rate by about 10 to 20 percent. And students who want to be consultants should also think twice.

...

...... . ' .. '\

'

"When you have a downturn," says Halasz, "the first thing that many companies look at is consulting."

Investment services, on the other hand, should be going strong throughout the economic cycle.

Georgia Spalding, a staffing consultant at Aetna, Inc., says that while the company has let its job offers stand, in the future there may be "some internal decisions that take a little longer."

Lynne Berkowsky, a college relations representative at Hershey Foods Corporation, echoed Spalding's sentiments.

"We are approaching our hiring practices more strategically than ever," she wrote in an e-mail, adding that Hershey would be relying heavily on its intern program to highlight prospective hires.

Other intern programs have served as the saving grace for some students seeking employment. At Corning, Inc., an .

Sighless Everest climber speaks at awareness day EVEREST from 5

-~

whatever mountain you climb in your life, having a gentleman who's climbed Mt. Everest can show you how to strategize you're life to climb those mountains."

This year, Campus Recreation is teaming up withAuraria's health center for the awareness day.

"I think it's really important that exposure is given to a population that is increasing, and to integrate their needs with the needs of others," said Steve Monaco of the Health Center at Auraria.

"We need to get people to look beyond the disabilities to the person behind them so they can be integrated into mainstream society."

The Disability Awareness Day will take place Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. 2 p.m.

Economy slowdown hampers iob searches JOBS from 7 undisclosed number of full-time job offers were withdrawn, but the intern program is still going strong, says Kirra Elliott, a college and university recruiter for the company.

Not every undergraduate should rely on an internship, though. With an economic downturn, intern programs are often the first things to go, and though Hershey and Corning's programs are still growing, other companies have been forced to make cutbacks.

Ao~ording to the Denver Post, internships are becoming more scant, "particularly in the fields of high tech and finance."

Employers ate having a hard ti.me too.

Their biggest chall~nge is planning ahead.

Ellen Glazerman, fue<;tor of university relations for Ernst & Young, says that the human resources decisions in hel' furn are always tied to the economy, and they plan ahead on an 18- to 24-month ti.me frame.

And though the company responded to shifts in recent economic outlook, "we didn't make a radical change," she notes.

Still, it is unlikely that this year's rising seniors will face rescinded offers, says NACE spokesperson Jerry Bohovich. He says that companies are reluctant to withdraw offers since, as one employer told him, "The student grapevine is very powerful." He adds that some companies also decide not to rescind offers for fear of jeopardizing their long-standing relationship with colleges.

But what can students do to guarantee they get the job in the first place?

Get started in the job search as soon as possible, says Halasz, and recognize that some fields are better prospects that! others. Students should also know the timetable for each field they pursue. For example, students interested in investment banking should start looking much earlier than those who want to work in public relations.

But Halasz stresses that being a Duke student alone is a big boost, and Berkowsky adds, "Top-notch candidates are pretty much in the driver's seat," something not even economic troubles can

Television is getting younger, but not wiser Danielle Haraburda It might have something to do with my impending thirty-second birthday, but I'm starting to notice how young everyone is around me. Well, not literally around me-the population on this campus is pretty non-traditional, but 'I certainly watch my share of television (I'm one of the few, apparently, who admits it) and the faces that look back at me seem to be getting younger by the day.

Long gone are the days when the top time slots were filled with the multigenerational casts of Little House on the Star Prairie and The Waltons. protagonists such as Matlock and Angela Landsbury are gone too. The older, wiser

characters, like the ones on NBC's Ally McBeal or HBO's Six Feet Under and Sex and the City, are thirty-something. John Fish is the guy everyone looks to for stability and guidance. On the show, at least, he's only a few years older than me. Having myself just purchased my first brand-new "nobody's ever passed out on this before" couch and only recently gotten to the point where I actually remember my grandparents' birthdays most of the time, I find this terrifying.

Where are the faces of older generations? Where are the sagacious parental figures who generously insert wisdom into the otherwise hip plot? Not to mention add a more realistic "not everyone in America is twenty" face to all these "reality" programs.

Well, they've been dumped for someone groovier, someone with more piercings, someone younger.

Take, for instance, Dave Minshall. He was a part ofKMGH-Channel 7 News for 17 years.

And, well... he did the unspeakable. He went from looking

thirty-something to turning fifty. something. So he got fired. This, at least, is his version of events. KMGH has another account of things. They say he did a lousy job. Maybe they're right, maybe he, like they say, didn't have a very keen grasp of grammar. Maybe he made a lot of mistakes. It's hard to believe, though, that the winner of eight Emmys for his reporting was really so very inept. Giving Channel 7 the benefit of the doubt, though, it's difficult to say with 100 percent accuracy what truly happened.

But it's not difficult to track the shift of television personalities at Channel 7 News. After Minshall was fired from the station, he was replaced by Natalie Pujo.

A twenty-something, five-year veteran who was apparently so impressive in the ratings she was let go not long after she was hired. Anchors Ernie Bjorkman and Bertha Lynn, also guilty of losing that "Friends" look, were taken out of the flagship positions on the 10 o'clock news and transferred to the 5 p.m. slot. They

were replaced, of course, by. younger, more Gap-like reporters.

What a shame. Not only that KMGH would exterminate the talent they had, but that they were doing it to appease us, the viewers. On television, as with everything else in our society, it's supply and demand. Being young and seeing young has become a societal obsession.

Even with those not even that young anymore.

I don't know what's going to happen to my generation in another 10 years. After we're out of the "zone" will we all resort to liposuction and facial peers to blend in with the cast of Dawson's Creek? Sooner or later things are going to have to give ... and I'm not just talking about the tucked and stretched skin pulled back from ow;- future double chins. At some point we're all going to have to accept that time marches on, that people over twenty can still be cool. People over 40 might still be sexy. And maybe, that the wise and respectable figures in life don't all look like lawyers on The Practice.

Every September since I987, thousands have gathered in Cheesman Park to help raise money for the research and prevention of AIDS. They accomplish this by walking to City Park and back - a distance of 6.2 miles, or IO kilometers.

Jefferson Bible returns to publication Cathrine Dunn

Cavalier Daily (U-WIRE) CHARLOTIESVILLE, Va. - One hundred and sixty-one years after his death, Thomas Jefferson can still raise eyebrows. .J This time it's not what the liberty-loving patriot said, but how he said it - through his own cut-and-paste version of the New Testament that distills Jesus' life into a scant 82 pages.

In fact, he probably does.

Outspoken on the issues of freedom and democracy, Jefferson remained mum when it came to his personal religious beliefs.

"Unitarians claim Jefferson as one of theirs ... other more conservative Jefferson scholars claim that he was at least at times an Orthodox Christian believer," said historian Garrett Sheldon, chairman of the department of social and behavioral sciences at the University of Virginia College at Wise. "Religion and politics was maybe more controversial then than it is now."

Had Jefferson espoused a traditional Christian viewpoint he could have been criticized for sympathizing with the Federalists, his political opponents who favored an established church.

However, Jefferson also would have come up short had he proclaimed himself a Unitarian, a religion founded upon the rejection of strict Christian dogma. He may have been accused of being an "infidel too impious to be president," writes Unitarian minister Forrest Church in his introduction to the Beacon Press edition.

As for how Jefferson would view the modern-day publication of his private manuscript, Church concedes with a hardy laugh: "He would have been completely opposed to the entire process."

Need for physical education emphasised April Guthrie THe Vanguard

,_ .

..

(U-WIRE) MOBILE, Ala. - College students tend to place their health low on their priority list; however, it should be placed first. Everything you do from studying to going out depends on your health. If you take a test and you are tired, you will do worse than if you were wellrested and in shape.

There are 12 basic areas of your lifestyle that need to be monitored.

The first area is physical activity.

Adults should get a minimum of 3 hours of exercise a week, but at least 5 hours a week is recommended. Physical activity can be incorporated into your daily life very easily.

"Students should try to incorporate physical activity into their daily life by walking to class instead of driving or using the stairs instead of the elevator," exercise physiologist Kimbr.a Finley said.

The second area is eating habits. Males and females should get no less than 1500 calories a day with no more than 20 to 30 percent of those calories from fat.

"Students should try to stay away from fast food, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and do not skip meals, especially breakfast," Finley said.

The third area is your weight and body fat.

"The healthy body fat range for women is between 15 and 30 percent and for males it is between 8 and 25 percent. The average

college female is about 20 percent, while the average college male is about 20 percent," Finley said.

The fourth and fifth areas are blood pressure and cholesterol.

"Make sure you monitor your blood pressure at least every six months, and it is a good idea to have your cholesterol checked," Finley said.

The sixth area of a healthy lifestyle is stress control and personal relationships.

According to recent studies, individuals who spend I0 minutes a day relaxing by

illegal drug use and sexual practices.

"Moderate use of alcohol is one or two drinks or less per day. Consuming more can cause health problems," Finley said.

Smoking cigarettes and abusing illegal substances is a serious health risk, so it should be avoided. If you are sexually active, then make sure you practice safe sex by using a condom.

"The more risky behavior you participate in, the more likely you will eventually get hurt,'' Finley said.

/People who are happy with their lives tend to have a greater self-esteem and to engage in less risky behavior.'

Kimbra Finley exersize psychologist themselves have a reduced stress level and an increased level of life satisfaction.

The seventh area, sleep, is the area most neglected by most college students.

College students should get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night.

The eighth area is car safety. Drivers should obey all posted road signs, always wear their seat belt, and never engage in risky driving behaviors.

The ninth through eleventh areas are smoking tobacco, alcohol consumption,

The last area for a healthy lifestyle is life satisfaction.

"Studies consistently show people who are happy with their lives tend to have a greater self-esteem and to engage in less risky behavior," Finley said.

If you monitor these twelve areas of your lifestyle, then you can achieve an overall healthy, safe lifostyle. College students are responsible for their lifestyle, and the emotional and physical consequences of that lifestyle.

Professor makes his living filming the dead Laura Bello The Vista (U-WIRE) EDMOND, Okla. - One professor at the University of Central Oklahoma has reason to pay special attention when the credits roll at the end of some cable shows. He's not looking for a producer's name, but for his own.

Dr. Gary Sokoll, professor of funeral services has produced videos for eight years to use in his classes. The video footage contains embalming demonstrations, restoration techniques, and cosmetic application. Sokol! has produced approximately 35 videos.

Sokol! received his degree in Funeral Services from UCO in 1980 and has taught at the University of Central Oklahoma for 16 years.

In the past few years he has been approached by companies in the United States and Japan that have requested use of his footage.

"I produce, shoot, edit and create the graphics and animations," Sokoll said. The television special "Buried Alive: Secrets Below" aired on the Discovery Channel in January 1999. The piece investigated people who may have been buried alive

and Sokoll's embalming demonstration lasted 15-20 seconds.

His work also crossed the seas to Japan.

Idea Network, a Japanese production company requested video presentations on embalming that aired on Japanese television in 1999. According to Sokol! embalming is gaining popularity over cremation in Japan.

Two works are in progress. The Discovery Channel will present "The Mummy Road Show," which will compare mummification with current methods in America. It will air this fall or early next spring.

The History Channel recently requested footage on embalming for a show it is doing concerning the embalming of Vladimir Lenin, former Soviet prime minister.

Sokoll began producing videos in 1993.

Originally he intended to make videos to be used at schools and for mortuary service instruction. Many of his videos are used at UCO. He had four embalming videos available when the Dodge Company, the largest supplier in the world of embalming chemicals, cosmetics and instruments

suggested that they make the videos available for educational purposes, Sokoll said.

"They found out about my embalming videos and recruited me to produce videos on embalming, restoration techniques and cosmetic application," Sokoll said.

His videos have been distributed to Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and schools in the United States.

His footage is popular because not many people produce these types of videos. "[ think they called me because not much footage exists. There is not a large need for video, but with the information age we live in, video is a great format to show embalming for educational purposes," Sokoll said.

He worked alongside fellow UCO graduate Kevin Davis, now director of the funeral services department at St. Petersburg Junior College in Florida, producing many of the instructional videos.

Besides producing the videos, Sokoll also published a book, "The Art of Facial Reconstruction," used at UCO and other schools.

Interest in former president's Bible increased in recent months BIBLE from 14

Bellevue University economics professor Judd Patton. "For a good government, we need to have good leaders with moral principles."

For unknown reasons the Government Printing Office stopped publishing the book in 1957, and its distribution to new congressional members ceased. With that in mind, and an entrepreneurial spirit tugging at him, Patton published his own reader-friendly edition of the Jefferson Bible through the independent Libertarian Press in 1996 - a copy of which he gave to every member of the l 05th Congress.

While Patton says demand for his book has increased greatly on Amazon.com in the past month, he also plans to continue the tradition of sending copies to new members .of Congress. But he does have one regret.

"I feel bad about it," he says. "'I didn't send a copy to Clinton and he probably could have used it."

The turn of events that landed Jefferson's Bible amid the Congressional bastion of governmental leadership is but one more irony that follows the separationof-church-and-state supporter well beyond the grave.

An added twist is that the manuscript for his bible remains fodder for public debate.

"It's not a typical enterprise," says Harry Gamble, a religious studies professor at the University, of Jefferson's creation. "Most people feel obliged to take the text more or less as it has been transmitted."

In terms of Biblical scholarship, "it really is not very useful at all if one is trying to understand the New Testament or early Christianity," Gamble says. "I think the Jefferson Bible is interesting chiefly as an example of western intellectual history."

But for Reverend Church, who eagerly flipped through pages of the Jefferson Bible at a young age and turned to Unitarianism largely because of Jefferson, the work symbolizes a common thread for many readers of the Bible.

"In my belief everyone does what Jefferson did. Everyone has what they would call 'red-letter passages,"' passages that resonate with one's "own sense of meaning," he explains.

Whatever Jefferson intended with his Bible, he made his feelings about religion clear when he wrote in the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom: "Our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry."

Men's soccer beats rival Regis

,

lmthiaz Hopkins The Metropolitan As the first ball of conference play is thrown out, so is Regis University's coach. Metro State men's soccer opened up conference play by beating cross-town rival Regis 2-1. "When you have a rivalry like this you have to survive," head coach Brian Crookham said. The Roadrunners were tied at the half 1-1 with Regis. "At halftime we talked about keeping the ball and the play will come," Crookham said. And that's what the Roadrunners did, they took control of the game and tallied to have player-of-the-week Tony Thomas score at the 53:59 mark giving him 4 goals and 2 assist on the season. "The first half we were playing as individuals and the second half we came out and started playing as a team," Thomas said. "They weren't able to keep · · up with us and when their coach got redcarded it only helped us." Regis coach Matt McDowell was ejected at the 76:50 mark and it didn't faze the Roadrunners momentum. "The boys were mature and handled the situation well, because we were in control of the game at that time," Crookham said. "When we score two goals we're okay, and we know now that we need to score those goals win." As the Roadrunners take it one game at a time they can't help but be excited about their playing. "It's only going to get better from here," Thomas said. "We know how to win and that's all that matters." The Roadrunners are now looking ahead to their games against Westminster on Aug. 31, and Colorado School of Mines on Sept. 3. "Mines was are only loss last year," senior Justin Lowder said. "If we play our game we'll beat Mines." The Roadrunners will play Mines at Mines and kickoff will be at 7 p.m.

No cheer despite win

Rugby Tuesday

Nick Garner

The Metropolitan

...

Adam House. .n -The Metropolitan Metro rugby playerJohn Woltman practices tossing Aug. 28.

After the first two games of the year, the Metro men's soccer team is 1·0-1 and has outscored their opponents 6-1.

To most programs, this would be something to cheer about.

But when the team is ranked No. 11 in the nation and have the highly explosive offense as they do, this just won't do.

"We played good soccer," head coach Brian Crookham said. "But also in soccer, you need to finish your chances and score more goals than the other team.

"We had plenty of chances, but we didn't put them away."

In game Oile against Southwest Oklahoma on Aug. 24, the Bulldog defense held the·Roadrunners in check for the first 70 minutes of the contest.

It was at the 70: 13 mark in the game that Metro finally got on the scoreboard, a goal from senior Tony Thomas and the assist from senior Cory Fitzsimmons.

Then the offense came alive, scoring four more goals in a span ·of 15 minutes.

For the game, the Roadrunners out shot Southwest Oklahoma 26-3, including 19-0 in the second half.

The following day, the Roadrunners got on the board a little quicker, this time six minutes into the contest, with Tony Thomas scoring his third of the season, putting the Roadrunners up by one on the

visiting Montana State-Billings.

But the Yellow Jackets came back with a score of their own, scored by sophomore Mike Gallegos, to tie the game at 1-1 just before the end of the first half. Both teams could not do any more in the second, or either the first or second overtime, and the game finished tied.

For a second straight day, the Roadrunners held a big advantage on the shots, as they out shot the Yellow Jackets 38-15.

The biggest area of the Roadrunners game that Crookham wants to see improvement on is taking advantage of their chances.

"We need to finish our opportunities when we get them," Crookham said. "We have creative players that can score goals, we just need to get players to score."

"I'm confident that we will find them."

The one player that seemed to have followed up on his chances was Thomas.

He scored twice against Southwest Oklahoma and once against Montana State-Billings to have the team lead in goals. His two assists are tied for the team lead with Fitzsimmons.

"Tony is a creator for us," Crook.ham said. "But we need to find others to step it up and score goals as well."

The next opportunity for the Roadrunners to make the best of their chances will be Aug. 31 when they Roadrunners host Westminster College at 3p.m.

Metro volleyball splits games af fer tournament Eric Eames

The Metropolitan

.......

After splitting four matches at the University of California-San Diego Invitational Aug. 24 Metro's women's volleyball team decided to hit the beach before heading back to the Mile High City.

The Roadrunners, who improved to 2-2, haven't gotten their feet wet but Hendricks said the team made great impressions on her this past weekend.

"We've improved so much from this time last year, as a team and a program."

At this time last year, Metro was 2-

2, but it took awhile for that team to gel, before going on a 13-game win streak, which led to a 21-9 record.

Rocky Mountain Conference player of the year Marina Bazana and freshman of the year Devon Herron are returnees from last years team.

Metro; ranked No. 23 nationally, had the opportunity to upset No. 9 University of California-San Bernardino when they took a 2-0 lead in their first match.

"When you have a team down two sets to nothing, you've really got to finish them off," Hendricks said. Metro then dropped tJie next two sets to the Coyotes, than folded in the deciding

15-point fifth set, 7-15.

Metro rebounded later that day, beating Cal State-Dominguez Hills in straight sets. The next day, Metro wasn't able to overcome errors in a 1-3 loss to UCSan Diego. "With a new rally scoring system, lack of errors will be the consequential evidence in who wins," Kiel said. "The new system will force teams to improve their play in order to contend."

After the second loss, Metro had a decision to make before facing No. 6 Cal State-Los Angeles in the final tournament match.

"We knew we needed to prove to coach and prove to ourselves that we

can come back," Bazana said. "So we had to win; no matter what, just because we let coach down in the earlier match."

The Roadrunners humbled the Cal State-Los Angeles for a straight-set win.

"That game made a great statement about the character of our team," Hendricks said. Hendricks believes the early-season tournaments are mostly good for self-improvement. _"You are not so consumed with the wins and losses as you are with making progress and getting to where we want to be before entering the conference season."

Despite transition, women's soccer finds ways to win lmthiaz Hopkins

The Metropolitan Metro women's soccer team seems to have a rough transition with three starters out and a new coach, but they are finding ways to win. The Roadrunners beat Montana StateBillings 1-0 to improve to 2-0 on this season.

"We carried the play of the game for a while, and the goalie made some big saves," head coach Colin Gilmartin said.

The Roadrunners out shot the Yellowjackets 16-8 with junior Jenelle Brandt scoring the only goal with 19 minutes remaining in the second period, and freshman Brenda Coover providing the assist. "We were at the right place at the right time," Gilmartin said. The Yellowjackets beat Regis University on Aug. 24. "They were here for four days, the altitude got to them," Gilmartin said.

One key to the Roadrunners; transition might be their four-day road trip to Texas starting Aug. 31. "We have three games in four days and we'll be

playing at noon in Texas." While in Texas the Roadrunners will play Incarnate Word, who is third in the region. "We'll have good competition· there," Gilmartin said. " We come back and face Mesa State which will be our toughest game tWs year." The Roadrunners will use their size and experience to do what it takes to be competitive and score. The Roadrunners had 10 out of 17 players take shots on the goal. "We don't rely on one person to score, we need the whole team to be successful," Gilmartin said. "We're trying to achieve a standard of work to

get to the next level and that takes sacrifice." The Roadrunners goal for this weekend is returning with .500 record, staying healthy, and learning to trust each other." "This road trip will help us to find out how mentally tough we are," Gilmartin said. · "We'll find our inner strength, and we'll work hard to be competitive." With 18 healthy players the Roadrunners want to be competitive this year. "We will have a good season," Gilmartin said. The Roadrunners open up conference play at Auraria Field against Mesa State on Sept. 7 at 4 p.m.
