Report: middle and lower income students equal in student loans Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

· ~

Several years before he attended college, Metro student Bill Magette knew what lie wanted to do.

"I told myself I would be teaching by the time I was 40," said the 39-year-old history major. "I'm almost there."

Like many students around the country, Magette funds his goals with the help of student loans and other forms of financial aid.

"I've been living off (loans) for the last four years," Magette said. "I live alone and support myself. I'm almost 40. I can't lean on mom and dad." Magette said he has nearly $25,000 in Stafford and Perkins loans in addition to a work study in Metro's History Departme;u.

"I do take outside jobs," he said. "I could make a living, but I wouldn't have the time for school and I couldn't make enough money to go to school."

Metro student Nico Baker, 20, also takes out Stafford Loans and uses work study money from his 25 hours a week at Metro's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans Student Services to "We're molding the middle class to where they're forced fund his education. into the system or pay the consequences," he said. "In Unlike Magette, Baker receives financial help from his America there's no worse consequence than being in debt. family, whom he describes as middle class.

"I think there's a commonality of interests that have "I have some money from my parents to help for school, come together, and these folks have figured out that things but I didn't want to use it all," Baker said. "Not all the loan can be done to tie American college students into the is going to tuition. I have a little left over I might be using system," he said.

"Other countries aren't doing this, not to the extent we Center for Education Statistics, middle income and lower income students tend to enroll in similar priced are," he said. "Only in American education have we figured universities and colleges, are just as likely to use financial out we can use education as a form of social control, just as aid, and tend to borrow the same amount to fund their education. The report defined middle income as yearly earnings between $35,000 and $69,999.

"A lot of time middle income students might 'I think there's a of borrow more than lower income because lower income students are reluctant to take loans out," • said Cindy Hejl, Metro's director of financial aid.

"They're scared of having a loan debt." During the that have come together, and 1999-2000 school year, 8, 797 Metro students used $33,305,441 in financial aid, Hejl, said.

"Middle income people have some credit history these folks have figured out that things can be and they're used to financing large items like cars or houses," Magette said.

Vandals target campus smart classrooms Aimee Potter The Metropofitan

Vandals stole and damaged several media data projectors in the campus' smart rooms.

The media data projectors, which are located in several classrooms, are securely mounted to solid structures within the rooms. Security cables from the ceiling enforce the structures.

"We are trying to figure out how to cope with this," said James Straub, director of the Media Center. "This situation has caught us by surprise, and has affected many classes that

depend on the use of projectors."

Study: More graduates applying to law school Jennifer Babulsky The Daily Campus (U. Connecticut}

(U-WIRE) STORRS, Conn. . A recent study conducted by the test prep company Kaplan, Inc. said that there has been a noticeable change in the number of college graduates applying to different law schools across the country in recent months. The study also said that law school appears to be on the top of students' lists on what to do after college.

According to the Kaplan study, the economy has played a substantial part in why students are choosing to attend law school. Authors of the study claimed that when the economy is low, like it is presently, more students want to attend law school. The study said that the low economy gives students time to get a higher education without feeling like they are missing out on financial opportunities.

Conversely, when the economy has been high, business school was a better option for students because they had the opportunity to do better financially, the study added. With a higher economy, there is a higher call for ebife'b'r~nMts: •wtth l >lb\v'e"r' econo'hiy, '

Lisa Stasiulewicz The Diamondback (U.Maryland} (U-WIRE) COLLEGE PARK, Md. Jobs are lost over it. Futures are decided by it. Fortunes are spent because of it. And lives are changed by it.

U.S. News & World Report began publishing its guide to "America's Best Colleges" in 1983 and has since become a veritable bible for college-seeking highschoolers and their parents.

Criticisms of the college guide are nothing new. The latest come from Amy Graham, the former director of data research at U.S. News, who wrote an accusatory article in the Washington Monthly saying, "U.S. News' rankings primarily register a school's wealth, reputation, and the achievement of the high school students it admits."

Graham said the magazine created a that prefers well-known system universities such as Harvard and Princeton, where, she said, most of the editors received their degrees. In addition, she said U.S. News erroneously determines student learning by looking at the SAT scores and class rank of the incoming freshmen, which only assess the achievement of the students in high school.

The magazine's written response: "We have been working for years to find ways to measure student learning that would comport with our methods. However, U.S. News will only institute such

enhancements when we can apply them fairly and accurately to all schools."

Kate Gargurevich, a senior elementary education and sociology major, said she believes standardized tests can be valuable in measuring student learning.

"If they are going to use incoming SAT scores, then they should also use outgoing GRE and LSAT scores and look at where the students are going to school," she said.

Though Graham admitted measuring student learning is difficult, she said the few criteria that hint at learning, such as ratio of students to faculty, which is one percent of the final score in the magazine's ranking, are not given enough weight.

Meanwhile, she said other criteria do not correlate with learning at all, such as faculty salary (7 percent of the score), which she found actually has a negative correlation to student learning.

Anne McGrath, managing editor of U.S. News' college issue, said the magazine considered using mass student surveys like Graham suggested, but the universities are concerned with privacy issues and will not comply.

"We completely agree with the vision Amy put forth. In theory, we would use the data if it were available. It's a nice thought that we could get the universities to move in that direction," McGrath said.

McGrath further defended the magazine, saying she believes wealth is a factor in learning, especially spending per student, but only 16 percent of the overall

score is oriented toward money.

As for being biased toward their own schools, McGrath noted only one of the top three editors on the issue went to a top 50 school.

Campus President C.D. Mote Jr. said he does not agree with ranking colleges; the problem, he said, is trying to quantify something that is not quantitative.

"It's basically a beauty contest, and they're trying to define beauty," he said.

Ralph Kuncl, vice provost for undergraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University, does not believe the universities should be ranked every year because he found a change in rank of five places up or down is statistically insignificant.

"Universities are unchanging from year to year, therefore it is unrealistic to rank them every year. Everyone can name the top five symphonies, but no one would be so haughty as to rank them one to five," Kunc! said.

The one thing everyone agrees on is the decision really depends on what is right for the student.

"I did look at rankings, but other factors played into my decision, too. The classes offered, the campus and the happiness of students are all things I looked at," said Stacy Taladay, a sophomore letters and sciences major.

"So much of a student's success depends on the human issues, the human experience of college," Mote said.

SAT gender gap widens, validity debate shifts from minorities to women the West, accounts for the gender gap by saying women take fewer hard science and math classes, such as AP (U-WIRE) LOS ANGELES -- The calculus or physics in high school, since SAT I scores released Aug. 28 show culturally they aren't pushed as hard women are slipping in comparison to to do so as men.

But the creeping gender gap may Phillips, who specializes in indicate there's more to the equation educational policy and who studies the than a lack of resources or rigorous courses to account for differences in effects of the SAT, said the test doesn't use material from these advanced scores.

SAT test scores questioned for

admissions

IFREEUPI

purposes SAT from 7 composition accounts for its lagging place in the national line-up of verbal scores. With a score of 498, California was eight points below the national average on the verbal section. It was three points higher in math, with a score of 519.

"The fact that we have a much lower verbal score, 64 percent in the state have English as their first language, 81 percent nationally," Zavoli said.

"There's some staggering diversity issues to deal with here. We've got a lot of bilingual kids or kids who didn't learn English as their first language.

The proposal to eliminate the SAT I in UC admissions requirements has been placed before the Academic Council, a systemwide advisory board that will be called to make a recommendation on the proposal to the UC Regents once the vote approaches .

UC media relations coordinator Abby Lunardini said she did not know whether the council would use the latest report from the College Board in making its decision.

"I don't know if they'll exactly use (the statistics) in their body of research or not, but the information is out there for them," she said.

The Academic Council's decision will have a "significant bearing on what the regents will do, but ultimately, it's up to the regents to independently decide on the proposal," Lunardini said.

The regents are expected to revisit the issue this fall to determine the fate of the controversial admissions tool.

Chen said· that with the recent change in the economy, the popularity of television shows and the career plans of recent college graduates, there has been an increase in not only people applying to law schools but also to graduate schools.

Russell said that a law degree will help students in the job market after graduation but warns prospective law students to carefully research their decision.

Lately, however, it seems to me that human kind's frantic sprint to the next breakthrough is outpacing its capacity for ethics. Some seem to be developing certain areas of science, not because they should, but simply because they can.

Technology, absent a high code of ethics that is diligently applied, will lead to a corruption of the principle that people have a priceless, intrinsic value that should not be a commodity.

As the human race ventures ever deeper into the realm of veiled mysteries, to unlock the secrets that lie there, we m~y do well to carefully consider the costs and consequences before we travel too far.

Some treasures carry with them an unexpected curse and, once unearthed, cannot be reburied.

Until recent decades, human invention and manipulation were res'tricted to inanimate material; the world of machines, chemicals and elements. Now, in the form of biotechnologies such as genetic engineering and cloning, we have opened the door to creation, perhaps trespassing on the very territory of God. At a recent conference on cloning technology, a few scientists vowed to move toward the goal of creating a cloned human being in spite of the ethical objections of peers and threats

by governments. Their stated reasons ranged from helping infertile couples to have children to developing a pathway to eternal life through the transfer of human memories and personality from one brain to another through a computer intermediary. Sound impossible? Well, considering that scientists at IBM have recently developed a carbon based computer circuit that holds the promise of miniaturizing computers, while greatly enhancing their capacity, coupled with German bio-chemists' new ability to cause computer chips to communicate with brain cells from a snail, the mechanics of such a process

killing machines? Will they be treated as people or as things? Will this enhance our value of human life or cheapen it?

Add this to a list of contradictions: United Nations and The environmental groups embrace a zero population growth philosophy, believing that an increase in the world's population is a net liability rather than a net asset. Why should we want to clone individuals? The world has seen famine (despite ample food supplies in other parts of the world), abortions, genocide, and wars.

If our world's casual dismissal of the true value of human life is so great, why should we desire the unnatural delivery of more of it?

In a global system where even naturally derived life is already treated as a com.modity, rather than a divine gift, we need to focus on fixing the social pr-0blems we already have, rather than run the risk of creating new ones through what will be perceived as a new race of people.

Even if cloning is used only as one more technique to overcome infertility, essentially remanufactured individuals will undoubtedly face inordinate difficulty adjusting to a world of naturally produced children who will view them as freakish. There will be no secret clones for a long while.

The process of reporting scientific discoveries and accomplishments will make that impossible.

The adverse possibilities seem limitless, whether based on realistic fact or far out fiction. However, the science fiction of 40 or 50 years ago is the science fact of today. People once joked about everyone someday having a portable pocket telephone. Now, everybody does. So, when people theorize about clones of headless human bodies for the purposes of organ transplantation, I want to run for my bottle of Pepto Bismol, and hope that, when it comes to human cloning, we find a way to keep the worms in the can.

... we have opened the door to

creation,

may already be on the way.

While the potential for cures of degenerative brain diseases, heart disease and other human ailments should be fairly obvious, depending on whether therapeutic cloning or reproductive cloning is used, the potential abuses one can imagine are like the movies "Bladerunner" "Gattica" and "Alien Nation" all rolled into one.

The idea of the human/machine interface posited by "Star Trek: The Next Generation", in the form of the Borg, also comes to mind.

Among human beings of varying points of view on moral values, there are always some with an astounding capacity to take what is good, and pervert it beyond all recognition.

A thousand questions seem to surround the issue: Could this lead to a new attempt at a master race?

Could it lead to a slave race? What about birth defects in the early stages of technology? Could the cloned individuals experience terrible unexpected mental or physical side effects? Might they be used by militaries as expendable, programmed

II THE METROPOLITAN SEPTEMBER 7, 2001

Drug treatment cheaper than incarceration

-I

Dani elle ie::=-a...J Haraburda Drugs are bad. At least, that's what most Americans, even if they have indeed inhaled at some point, think. Usually, we carry that label one step further: drug users are bad, too. Sure, we say that drug addicts suffer from a disease, and if they have money we treat them as such.

Often, they get to go into a treatment facility for substance abuse. If they're poor, however, we treat them like criminals and send them off to jail.

If sending people to jail for nonviolent drug offenses actually made an impact on the number of people abusing drugs, this tactic might make sense. But it doesn't.

The truth is that the recidivism rate for drug users after prison is high. In fact, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections, 75 percent of inmates in this

state have substance abuse problems.

So what if we caught them (first-time, nonviolent offenders) early and, instead of shipping them off to jail, we sent them to treatment instead? That's what Senator Ken Gordon (D-Arapahoe) is proposmg.

His legislation would keep nonviolent offenders who are caught possessing small amounts of â&#x20AC;˘ drugs out of our over-crowded prisons and into drug treatment facilities.

Sounds like an expensive endeavor? Think again. It costs an average of $26,000 to house one Colorado inmate per year.

Treatment costs are far cheaper. But those are just incarceration figures.

Think about what illegal drugs cost our society.

Crime is only one cost. Crime that far

exceeds the criminal activity of actually using illegal drugs. The cost comes out in theft, robbery, and eventually, insurance costs that everyone shoulders.

Drug treatment certainly won't eradicate the incidence of drug abuse, or even the crime committed to obtain drugs, but it will help.

The expenses don't end there.

Prosecuting drug offenders costs money, too.

If a significant number of drug users can be rehabilitated, think of the money that will be saved in the long run, money that could be used to prosecute offenders that have actually harmed others, or society.

Of course, these are all the hard costs of drug abuse. What will society gain from productive members of our

We need to

remember that

prison isn't exactly a charm school.

community who no longer need illegal substances?

It's true that some inmates in prison are already receiving some drug treatment-about half, anyway. And for those who are, the recidivism rate is lower for them than the others in prison who are just biding their time until release. We need to remember that prison isn't exactly a charm school.

Those inmates aren't taking citizenship classes, learning how to become model citizens. When they're released, they'll be no better equipped to deal with society, or their drug problem, than before they were incarcerated. And then we can start the cycle all over again.

Maybe this is why this issue is quickly becoming the tactic of better sense, and not a partisan issue. Even conservatives such as Rep. Lynn Hefley (R-El Paso) and Colorado District Attorney Council President Peter Weir have not thrown out Gordon's proposal. Let's hope the rest of Colorado's legislators see the logic of his plan.

Letters to the editor

Join SGA for a year full of activities

â&#x20AC;˘

Dear students, Student Government Assembly of Metro State College is alive and well AND looking to get more connected to the student body, so here is one tactic of our communication strategy, a letter to The Metropolitan. It is the Friday before Labor Day and I am still in the office working when I could go home-why? Because there are so many things to work on. I want to leave the office, go home and party. That, or do my homework. Anyway, some of the things that we are developing are ... having fun activities at the Fall Fest as well as having literature fo inform students about student government opportunities.

Some activities we want to do for the Fall Fest are an arm wrestling booth, dunk tank, speed chess, and possibly an egg-eating contest.

Don't worry!

Student government is also doing "student government" projects too, not just bizarre contests. We are organizing a student leadership conference on October 19th and 20th. We are also going to many committees, representing different student voices, and planning

to lobby the state with other colleges for more money for higher education. This money would be directed toward better professor salaries, technology for the college and more financial aid for us hard working students. There are four committees that are seeking student-atlarge members. They are the Diversity Committee, the Off Campus Affairs Committee, which focuses on politics and governing board issues, the Communication and Campus Outreach Committee, and the Tri-Institutional Committee. This latter committee works on ways to unify the three schools on Auraria campus. There are many opportunities in student government for everyone.

STUDENTS, PLEASE COME AND GET INVOLVED OR USE STUDENT GOVERNMENT AS A RESOURCE. We are located in Tivoli 307 and our main number is 303-556-3312.

Thank you,

Candace Farmer Metro SGA President

The fight for the prevention of The Center for Disease Control states HIV/AIDS has become even stronger as that in Colorado alone, African Americans the numbers of those infected continues to make up 22 percent -of the· HIV/AIDS · rise at an alarming rate.

One in three Denver Mayor Wellington Webb has people who are infected with the disease designated the month of September don't even know it. In Washington D.C. HIV/AIDS African American Awareness 90 percent of the population is black and month. Webb made this decision official of that percentage, as much as one in on Aug. 31, 200 I in order to advocate every seven people is infected with HIV. further education of HIV/AIDS in hopes The soaring rate of HIV/AIDS among that it will decrease the levels of infection African Americans is proof that silence is and mortality. deadly and what you don't know can kill Niko Baker, a program assistant with you.

The concern is that felons then go home and spread the disease to their wives or girlfriends. The consequences are .catastrophic. Sixty percent of new HIV cases being reported are among African American women. The disease is then passed on to their children at a rate that is similarly high.

Experts and activists agree that the silence has to be broken and dialogue between African Americans must increase in order to significantly decrease the risk of infection. And while scientists and doctors work to find a cure for HIV/AIDS, experts say that the best way to prevent exposure to this disease is to practice abstinence or safe sex. Communication with your partner is key, as well as getting tested every 6 months. Doctors say that the early detection of HlV can extend the life of people living with the disease.

Cavalier Daily (U-WIRE) CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Could advertising for two markets create confusion among consumers? Or will it boost sales of submarine sandwiches?

This is the dilemma that Subway, the nation's second-largest fast food chain, faces with its new and opposing advertising campaigns.

While recent commercials geared to healthy eaters have boosted profits, the Milford, Conn.-based chain is now wondering if its hungry, fat-loving customers are getting left behind. .

- The challenges of targeting hearty eaters comes after four years of success with a campaign for healthy customers. In 1997, Subway's sales leveled off after two years of steady growth. In hopes of pushing the chain out of this standstill, Subway founder and President Frederick DeLuca decided to differentiate his product from other fast food restaurants by highlighting a line of seven subs that have less than six grams of fat.

According to Forbes magazine ("Split

Personality," Sept.3, 200 I), these low-fat subs successfully attracted the healthconscious cons.umer and boosted Subway's sales by 5 percent to $3.5 billion in 1998.

As a result of this success, Subway decided to devote all its advertising muscle to the health-conscious consumer.

The company created a new campaign that used Jared Fogle, an actual college student at Indiana University, as a spokesperson. Jared went on a diet of six-inch turkey subs and foot-long veggie subs, and coupled with mile-long walks to his local Subway, he lost 245 pounds.

His diet became coined the "Subway Diet." The ad campaign featuring Jared brought immediate success to Subway. According to Forbes magazine, the chain's sales climbed 19 percent in 2000 - way over the industry'.s average growth of 4.4 percent.

DeLuca worried, however, that there may be an untapped market of hungry youngsters who care less about healthy foods and more about taste. Recently,

DeLuca designed a new line of sandwiches that are calorie laden and replaced the signature U-wedge bread with fully sliced loaves to make the sandwiches look more meaty. He also decided to create ads geared toward these bigger eaters while continuing the ad campaign directed at the

According to Forbes magazine, DeLuca plans to divide the $65 million national ad budget for the two campaigns.

The effects? This dual ad campaign may cause some confusion, especially among new consumers. However, it may also tap into that new market of hungry youngsters.

The overall effect of the dual ad campaign depends on whether the new customers gained (the heavier eaters) outweigh the customers lost m the confusion.

According to University Economics Professor Mary Lee Epps, the outlook for Subway doesn't looks promising.

"Subway has already captured most of health conscious consumers through its previous campaign," Epps said. "And this market of health-conscious consumers is already very saturated."

'Subway has already captured most of -

health-conscious market.

The initial ads for these hearty subs used a pushy shadow puppet who urged people to go for Subway's more traditional sandwiches. In July, Subway introduced another campaign using Jim, who is a normal-sized, sarcastic version of Jared, to promote its new calorie-laden subs.

Roadrunners roll over· Titans 6-0

Roadrunners midfielder Tony Thomas t ries to roll past his Colorado School of Mi nes blocker in an away game on Sept. 3.

Chris Lawson -The Metropolitan

Nick Garner The Metropolitan

+·

Another home game, another blow out victory.

Th is is the common story whenever the Metro men's soccer team plays at the Auraria Fields, with the latest victim being Westminster College, as the Roadrunners won its third game of the season 6-0 on Aug. 31.

Dating back to last season, the Roadrunners have outscored its opponents 42-8 and recorded eight shutouts.

But for most of the first half, it was the Titans that were on the offensive attack while the Roadrunners were playing back on their heels.

"We looked like we were sleeping out there," Metro coach Brian Crookham said. "We didn't look very sharp at the start."

But that lasted all of 14 minutes before Metro got the first goal on the board, as senior Tony Thomas took the pass from junior Jonathan Gillie and beat Westminster keeper Ethan Gillespie to give his team the early lead.

But Tony didn't stop there.

With the Roadrunners leading 2-0 in the second half, Tony made a play that would have been worthy enough to make on ESPN. Tony was coming down the middle of the field, did a 360 to fake out one defender, then faked a pass to get another defender guessing, and finally sent a rocket into the top left hand corner to score his second of the game.

His brother, freshman Brett Thomas was credited with the assist.

Almost five minutes later, Tony struck again.

He received a nice pass from junior Jimmy Zanon, and squeezed it past Gillespie to finish off the hat trick. With

the three goals, Tony increased his team lead to seven goals on the season.

Crookham said that a big part of the team's success would depend on how Tony plays.

"I have said it before, as far as Tony goes, we will go," Crookham said. "He gives us a chance to win every game."

Tony, however, doesn't take the same approach as his coach does.

"It's always a team effort," Tony said. "I like being the guy who scores goals, but I Roadrunners on Deck hate when people look at me September 7 and say 'that's the guy who •Women's Volleyball vs. Nebraskaruns the team."

•All games at Auraria Field and Events was being double teamed, and Center sent past Gillespie for his second goal of the season.

The final Metro goal came from Brett, who took the lead pass from Zanon, netting his first goal of the season.

"He's been unlucky so far this season," Tony said of his brother's first goal. "He has had a lqt of opportunities, but he has more chances to come."
