Metro's fall enrollment was confirmed to be at a record high of 18,43 2 students, according to a report released by Metro's Office of Admissions on Sept. 17. Included in the report was a projection for spring 2002 enrollment to break past records with 18,032 students. This is a five percent increase over spring 2001's enrollment of 17, 504. "This is pretty straightforward data about the institution. It helps you to see the trends, and obviously this is a record enrollment. By far the largest number of students we've ever had ," Registrar Tom Gray said. Gray also said the projection for spring 2002 was based on what happened this fall , and is only a projection, not a fact.

SGA wants updated website Matt Gavin

The Metropolitan Metro's Student Government Assembly plans to update its website to encourage more student use. The current website was not up to par with other instit1.1tions' more interactive sites said Student Government President Candace Farmer at SGA's Sept. 20 meeting. Links to Auraria events and honors programs as well as SGA and other student chat rooms were suggested as possible additions to the new site. Although still in the preliminary planning stages, Farmer hopes to be able to provide some sort of platform for students to be able to discuss campus issues with other students and possibly professors and school administrators as well.

Also discussed was the trip to New York City planned by Benzel Jimmerson, vice president of diversity, is joining with at least two other members of the Auraria Campus to take money to help attack victims ~n New York City. Along the way the group will stop at least four times at other universities to pick up additional donations. The tentative list of institutions include universities in Oklahoma and Kansas, Ohio State University, Howard University in Washington, D.C. and possibly others including campuses in Chicago. Jimmerson said he is expecting to be able to raise at least several thousand dollars to take to the victims at "Ground O" in New York's Lower Manhattan. The money raised on the "Road to Recovery" trip will be used to benefit whatever need arises upon the group's arrival in New York.

The Daily Cardinal (U-WIRE) MADISON, Wis. - They are voting with their feet. That is what Afghan refugees are doing as they scramble throughout their country in fear of an impending United States attack, says a former United Nations worker. Consumed by war for more than 20 ·years, the people crf Afghanistan are war-weary and terrified that more fighting is coming. They do not want t.o be there when the onslaught arnves. So they are fleeing, but with nowhere to go. Neighboring countries have closed their borders. Relief agencies have been shut down and it is projected that food and medicine supplies inside Afghanistan will run out within a month. As winter approaches, the situation in a country that was already facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world could, inconceivably, get worse. The U.S. government believes it knows the culprit behind the most devastating terrorist attack to ever t.o hit American soil. But the accused perpetrator, Osama bin Laden, has found protection with the help of Afghanistan's Taliban government, placing the country, and its people, in the middle of an international war against terrorism. Yet even before Afghanistan became the center of the world's attention, the country was steeped in its own domestic strife. A possible attack on Afghanistan soil is "just another problem" added to the staggering list of crises the country has faced, said Frank Conlon, a professor of Pakistan and South Asian history at the University of Washington. "The United States certainly has a new problem. But Afghans have had problems all along," Conlon said. "It is pretty desperate there." Roughly the size of Texas and covered

with rugged mountains, Afghanistan is, as one expert puts it, "a living hell." Suffering from extreme poverty, the Afghan people are now confronting a fourth year of drought. There is little, if any, rain. The people roam the country searching for sustenance. The economy is a disaster and electricity is rare. The Taliban government has stifled nearly all their political freedom. War has plagued the country for more than 20 years, leaving behind a considerable death t.oll and scores of land mines. • The Taliban, the most recent group to claim power in Afghanistan, is just one in a long line of political factions to seize power. For the past two decades, civil war has overtaken the country as different rebel movements fight for authority. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to help install a Marxistinspired regime. Various rebel forces, or "freedom fighters," fought a bloody civil war in opposition, with much support and supplies provided by the United States. In 1994, one of those rebel groups, the Taliban, emerged and has been in power ever smce. The Taliban maintains its power by brute military force and rigid decrees, said Thomas Gouttierre, director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Many hoped the Taliban, devout followers of an extremist form of Islamic fundamentalism, would bring stability after years of war, he said. But what Afghans found instead was a government of cruelty and oppression, Gouttierre said. Women are discouraged from going out in public, denied education and proper health care. Criminals often face public amputations or executions. "Living in Afghanistan is like living in a religious concent_ration camp,"

Gouttierre said. "No one can listen to music. You are imprisoned for owning a TV. Thieves are amputated. Women are kept from going out in public, and if they do, they must essentially cover themselves with a tent." Gouttierre, who lived and worked in Afghanistan from 1964 t.o 1974, said the country he resided in 30 years ago is vastly different from the one that exists today. Kabul, the once beautiful capital city, has now become a living graveyard, Conlon said. "It was a poor country ... but, exceedingly engaging. Girls were going to school, a progressive government was in place, development was happening," Gouttierre said. Conlon said the Taliban, along with other fringe terrorist groups, views the United States as the powerful "other." They deride our economic policies and abhor our "immoral" pop culture, with what they believe is its emphasis on sexuality and consumption. They also believe their form of Islam is in danger, he said. Their aspirations are not national, but rather religious; they seek an Islamic community that transcends borders. The Taliban sees no reason t.o cooperate with the United States, Conlon said. But if the United States, along with its allies, were t.o attack terrorist forces in Afghanistan or other countries harboring terrorists, it would not just be the citizens who may suffer. Though the U.S. government has postured its rhetoric as a "war on terrorism," other countries might not see it that way, he said. "Bombing Afghanistan is going to destroy any kind of moral edge we have," Conlon said. "It will be seen as making war on Islam. Countries like Jordan, ... Syria, Egypt would be hard pressed to cooperate with us further, I think."B

Black clubs a gas in Denver Walter Gant Staff Columnist Weekend nights in Denver are nights of compromises for most black people. We have to go on covert missions to find hip-hop, reggae and even great jazz music. Once you get there, you just want to get through the night without getting into a violent altercation with anyone. But the threat of violence isn't in the club, the real adventure starts in the parking lot. At the end of the evening, everyone gathers outside the club to talk exchange numbers or just find out where the next party is. It's here when we feel that burning sensation of tear gas in our face. It's become a trademark in most clubs and areas were black people frequent. Police tear gas patrons every weekend for usually no good reason. ' If you ask them why they use this technique every weekend you would probably get a variety of answers. The most common is that police are just trying to "disperse" the crowd. That's a reason that doesn't make much

sense. We already have an abundance of police outside the club watching us m the parking lots so it seems pretty ridiculous to th.ink that trouble is going to start up. If they were doing a more efficient job of screening people around the club then those problems wouldn't even occur in the first place. Another excuse is they use it to break up fights. There wouldn't be as many fights if they were keeping people who weren't in the club out of the parking lots, and outside the exits. Those are the people who usually start the fights. It also wouldn't hurt if clubs kept better tabs on drunken people; especially women. Most of the fights after a night on the town seem to be started by the females. My biggest question is why doesn't this tear-gassing happen anywhere else? If I'm hanging outside of any . pl~ce. where w~ites usually hang out this is a non- ISs~e. White patrons cou_ld be ,drunk m the streets and police don t care as long as they don't get hurt. They could be hanging out in front of any establishment as long as they want to and it's okay. My people do it, t~en there's a proble~. It's rare for police to use tear. gas m a LoDo c~ub. Is the behavior there any diffe~ent tha~ what go~s o? in a black club. 1'.he actions aren t different, but the attitudes towards the patrons are.

I don't see these actions changing anytime soon. The police have a more aggressive attitude towards blacks and other minorities in Denver these days, so we would be naive to think that things will change at the club. The police refuse to acknowledge all blacks aren't criminals. This is an issue that needs to be addressed in the department first. It almost feels as if they look forward to the weekly tear gas fest. This all ties in with an issue I've had for years. That issue is the use of white cops patrolling areas where minorities live. These cops always have a gung-ho attitude. I don't know if they are trying to prove something to move upward in the force or that they just don't like people that aren't white. You can almost point out the rookies on the force by the anxious looks on their faces. I'm not going to go so far to say nothing happens at clubs. People do fight and sometimes people get hurt. But some officers that I know will say they usually deal with more violence at the white downtown establishments. That wouldn't appear to be the case with the actions that the police take. Hopefully someday in the near future the problem will be addressed.

â&#x20AC;˘ American tragedy attracts opportunists Danielle Haraburda Opinion Editor

There's always one in every bunch. One person looking to exploit a tragedy for personal gain. In times such as these, most Americans overlook the baser nature in some of our fellow men. It's getting more difficult, though. There seems to be an opportunist on every corner these days. We can start with Tom Tancredo. He's the Colorado congressman who, along with other congressional upstarts, wants to repeal the ban on assassinations instituted by President Gerald Ford nearly 25 years ago. It sounds reasonable, doesn't it? Having Osama bin Laden taken out wouldn't upset many in this country, including myself. That's what Tancredo and his ilk are hoping you'll say. It's easy to manipulate public sentiment at times like these. The truth, however, is the ban on assassinations has only ever been applicable to heads of state. Having bin Laden killed has never been illegal, as far as American law is concerned, anyway. Bin Laden has no

official title of any country. Repealing this ban will not give us any more power against him than we had before. It will give our government another tool with which it can interfere in international politics, though. Are we looking for a way to assassinate leaders in other countries? If so, why aren't we being told that? But, hey, at least it deals with international relations, unlike the recent use of this tragedy by the General Motors company. Their recent commercial starts off like a lot of commercials lately, telling the American consumer how our spirit cannot be broken. Nothing wrong with that, except GM goes on to make the connection between the strength of America and buying cars from General Motors. We can fight terrorism by buying a new car? I understand the idea that buying American products strengthens our sagging economy, but the appropriation of the Sept. 11 attack to further one particular company seems damned unethical. Maybe there are other ways to "Keep America Rolling" besides filling the coffers of GM. And last and certainly least, there are the unfortunate Sept. 13 comments made by America's favorite bigot, the Reverend Jerry Falwell on The 700 Club. Falwell placed the blame on Sept. ll's attacks squarely on the shoulders of feminists,

the ACLU, pro-choice advocates, (or as Falwell calls them, "abortionist") gays and lesbians and pagans. In fact, he seemed to also place the blame on the Lord, who, Falwell says, bas lifted the curtain of protection on America because we allow these aforementioned groups to exist. What was the excuse in 1941? Did God allow the attack on Pearl Harbor because there weren't enough God fearing Christians in America? What about horrible things that happen to Ghristians, is their faith not strong enough? If Falwell's idea of God is one who punishes human beings fot existing as different, or human, or fallible, then, no thanks. It's just one more reason to sleep in on Sunday morning. I don't consider myself a pagan, but Falwell's description of our Creator makes paganism sound like a pretty good gig. Yes, I know. He apologized. Gee, thanks Jerry, but somehow the knowledge that he made these comments on nationally publicized television in the first place makes me a bit suspicious of his repentance. Maybe he didn't know one of the four men thought to have struggled with terrorists on flight 93 was gay. It probably wouldn't have made a bit of difference to him. Maybe he thinks the passengers on that plane deserved what they got

because there was a gay man on board. The real outrage wasn't just his comments lacked sense, or they placed blame anywhere but where it belonged, it was his timing. Falwell has taken the deaths of more than 6,500 human lives and turned it into an opportunity to further his agenda of hatred and stupidity. He didn't apologize because he was sorry for what he said, he apologized because, for once, Americans everywhere President Bush saw his even misappropriation for what it was: an opportunistic abuse of a national tragedy. Falwell isn't the only one using this tragedy to further his prejudices, though. Already in America two men have died because they either were, or were thought to be Muslim, and scores of American citizens have been attacked because of their real or perceived ethnicity or religion. The horrible attacks in New York and D.C. have been furthered by the insane and racist acts of those within our country as diabolical as the bombers themselves. Maybe we need to rethink what it means to get America ''back to normal." If normal is returning to a government with unchecked power, mass consumerism, and a nation divided by prejudice and loathing, I propose we find something else.

U.S. individual interests won't serve Vlhole Vlorld ,, CJ Cole Staff Columnist What makes Americans tick? There is ! - one aspect of the American character that is present in both the people of America and our country as a whole. This aspect is self-interest. We as Americans tend to see ourselves as individuals before anything else. As college students, we are at the center of the American creed of individualism. We might retain ties to family or community. However, the nature of old friendships and family bonds change in the college setting. Most college students begin the ,..... pursuit of a career or way of life that will require individual talent, skill and flexibility. These students will probably not incorporate themselves into the communities and neighborhoods from which they have come. Some students will return to the community. Most students will not. This is our freedom, the ability to pursue our goals and envisioned way of life. Yet, even while all of us crossing campus have our own goals and interests -.._ â&#x20AC;˘ in mind, we will all ultimately serve the

greater population. Whether we become doctors, journalists, teachers or engineers, our work will serve people. In the same way the United States must retain a consciousness for humanity. As a nation we must redirect our self-interest. Although we have much anger and a desire to rid the world of terrorism, we must be realistic in our goals. While we may have the largest and most capable fighting force on earth, we cannot enforce the end of terrorism. Should our jurisdiction be worldwide? No. Each nation has the right to deal with their terrorist problems. Still, each nation cannot do this alone. This is where the interest of each nation, like the interests of students on Auraria campus, must be seen as a part of the greater whole. No nation wants terrorism. Currently the United States has the backing of many countries of the world, from England to China. The leaders of the United States must consider carefully their actions. We must now set a precedent for how we will deal with terrorism. Certainly, Americans must pursue the terrorists. But as the American people,

nations of the world and civilians of Afghanistan are asking, let us not punish the civilian population in pursuit of justice. Let us prepare ourselves for a long struggle against terrorism. Let us not deal with terrorism as an individual nation, but rather as a nation in service to all nations. Our goal should be not only the end of terrorism but also an end to those situations that breed terrorism. America's self-interest must be turned to serve the whole world. We must do this through more than forceful acts against terrorism. We must also analyze how the actions of the United States have influenced the world. The United States has a monopoly on military action in the world. We were able to fly a surveillance plane over Chinese airspace. A Chinese surveillance plane would never be allowed to fly over American airspace. Additionally, during the Cold War the United States helped the rise of many dictators through military assistance. The United States even trained and funded Osama bin Laden to fight against the Russians. However, just as we conduct our days with our individual goals in mind, so also

do nations conduct foreign policy. This is the paradigm that must continue to change. The interests of individual nations must be held within a framework. Currently the world works in a setting of competition and power struggle. These factors determine many of the relationships formed between nations and help maintain a balance of power. Clearly, the United States far surpasses any terrorists in the balance of power. However, terrorists have found a way to disrupt this power from the inside of our country. If we are to eradicate terrorism, we must consider the interests of other nations. We must redirect our national self-interest toward this larger global interest. Just as the individual goals of students will eventually serve the larger goals of society, so too must nations recognize their ability to serve a world population. To do this our nation and other nations must rise above our power struggles. The safety of civilians and cooperation among nations must become our prime concern. Specifically, we as Americans must harness our national interest and set a precedent for dealing with global terrorism.

The Metropolitan A Metro student's life is a tough one. The majority of students who come to Metro are already holding down one or more jobs and many have family commitments also. Studies for the Metro student can be, and often are, pushed aside by life outside of college. How many times have students had a below-average grade or a late paper because of other commitments? Many students support their families or bring their children to Metro's daycare to attend classes. Now, Metro's office of Student Support Services is offering a helping hand. This fall semester Student Support Services is holding workshop classes through November to help improve students' study skills. The program is called Masterminds Study Skills Workshops, and is taught by Maureen Johnson of Student Support Services. The program is for participants of Student Support Services and is offering help to all Metro students-from freshmen to seniors. The workshops are located in the West classroom 146, and workshop topics are offered two times a week. Johnson said that to participate in the workshops students just need to show up on the day and time of the workshop they wish to attend. Workshops have already begun, but there are more workshops to come. The variety of workshops covers many areas that, freshman or senior, students may need to improve their study skills. "How Good Are You at Note Taking" offers a chance to review notetaking technique and improve skills on Oct. 2 at 2:30 p.m.

There are people at Metro who are intent on bringing more culture to the Auraria campus. Specifically the music department and the Music Activities Committee. The committee, a group of students who each represent a different area of music, is working with the music department to organize the Artist Series, which brings local, national, and international performers to the campus for performances and workshops. The series started Sept. 8 with a performance by Planina, an eastern European singing group. Beginning Oct. 7 there will be at least one performance each week at the King Center through midNovember. While a few will take place in the main Concert Hall, the majority of these concerts will be held in the King Center's Recital Hall, a small theater that accommodates an audience of about 200. "Because it's so small it's very intimate...it feels like you're in a living room," music department chair Larry Worster said of the Recital Hall. ''It's really unique to Denver...There's no other hall that size with that acoustic quality." Vera Alder, a member of the Music Activities Committee, credited the recently completed King Center with attracting some of the artists in this year's series. The committee is in part responsible for selecting and inviting artists to play at Metro. "We coordinate the faculty and students so they give us their input," Alder said. ''We also contact the artists .. .It was actually easy this year, because guess

what? Everybody wants to come play at the new King Center." Alder said organizing the series is "quite a production, but it's fun to do.. .it puts us [students] in the driver's seat." The musicians scheduled to perform this semester cover a range of instruments, with acts concentrating on brass, strings, guitar, piano, winds and vocals. In addition to concerts, there will be master classes with each performer for music students of that emphasis. In the classes, the visiting artist will work with students, offering advice and critiques of their playing. While the master classes will be specifically geared toward students of a particular instrument, they are open to anyone who wants to come and watch. "The students and the audience learn at the same time," Worster said. Besides bringing artists to the campus to perform and help instruct music students, Worster said he hopes to see students on the campus coming together for a cultural event. "The Artist Series on one hand is a performance series ...on the other hand I hope this is culturally significant for the campus," Worster said. "The underlying thing, the reason why the students and I have decided to do this, is Metro bas never had a campus culture." "Before we had the King Center we really had no opportunity for culture on campus," he added. While student fees fund the series, Worster is looking to make some of the money back this year. ''We're being a little entrepreneurial with our Student Activities money," Worster said. Metro students will be able to attend the concerts free of charge, but

other students, along with alumni and seniors, will be charged $6 per ticket. General admission is $12. Worster said when they found out they could charge admission for the concerts, the department and committee felt it would be a good way to get back some of the student fees. Among the artists coming to the campus with this series are Grammynominated guitarist Paul Galbraith, the London-based Haffner Wmd Quintet, and Yale viola professor Jesse Levine. ''We're excited; this season's visiting artists are excellent," Alder said of the series. ''I think this program is better than last year's, and I thought last year's was pretty good."

seven months by putting in 12-hour days, six days a week. Bremmer began reading when he was only 18 months old and was homeschooled through high school. By the age of three he already had finished preschool, kindergarten and first grade. Bremmer's parents, Martin and Patti Bremmer, taught him most subjects. I:Ie had tutors for several subjects and he always has had a music teacher. Bremmer began playing the piano at the age of three and has been visiting CSU this semester to take lessons from Janet Landreth, chairwoman of keyboard area studies in the department of music, theater and dance. "He's just darling and funny and serious," Landreth said. "He's a little boy and a young man." Bremmer also has been visiting classes at CSU to determine what he is interested in and which courses he will take next semester. Currently Bremmer is enrolled in an astronomy class at his local community college. The classroom experience is new for him, but he seems to like it so far, he said. Bremmer and his family visited several schools before he decided to

attend CSU. "It's a neat school," Bremmer said. "The people are nice, the classes are good, and it's a good college." . "He liked the science and music departments at CSU," Patti Bremmer said. The Bremmers will have to relocate to Fort Collins, Colo., next semester when Brandenn Bremmer begins classes. Bremmer at first will take only one or two classes to get used to the classroom setting, Patti Bremmer said. He probably will take a music class and a physics class. Bremmer is majoring in music but does not know if he wants to add a physics minor yet. 'Tm studying classical music right now," Bremmer said. ''I'll probably stay there for a while." The Bremmers said they are pleased with the experience CSU has provided so far. "We couldn't be happier," Patti Bremmer said. "We have received the red carpet treatment and everyone has been so helpful." As for Bremmer, starting classes next spring is not a big deal, he said. "No, I'm not nervous," he said.

Gentle player finds killer instinct Eric Eames

The Metropolitan

...

. Âˇ~Âˇ

Diana Marques, perhaps the gentlest player on the team, has been accused of being too nice on the court a nd she's tired of it. In a Sept.3 practice, Marques pildrived a ball smack into teammate Devon Herron's face. Instead of rushing over and pleading for Herron's forgiveness, Marques casually walked away. "It was a good sign," volleyball coach Debbie Hendricks said. "She has developed that very competitive, killer instinct on the court and I'm glad to see it out of her. Yet, when she steps off the floor she is one of the nicest people you'll ever know." Later on, Marques did apologize to Herron, only because she is a teammate. This season has been a blast so far for Marques, which wasn't the case last year when she transferred from Western Nebraska Community College and was thrust into playing an unorthodox position. Having twice set single-match records at Western Nebraska for most kills with 35 and 36, she averaged just 2.1 kills per game last season from the right side. "It was frustrating," Marques recalled. "It reached a point that no matter what I did, I was not any good at it. In Nebraska I was a marquee player and here I was just one more player. Not that , that was bad, it was just hard for me to accept." Marques' determination to win back the only spot she's ever.played showed during summer workouts. By the time pre-season practices ended, Marques had proved to Hendricks and her teammates that she deserved to start on the left side.

On the floor, Marques is easy to spot. She is a cordial monster becoming the archangel for the Roadrunners. After spiking the ball for a point, she is the one jumping up and down like a child "There is something in side of me that I just can't control when I play, Marques said. "It tells me I'm strong. It gives me this power t hat I have to put out." The day after she nailed Herron, Marques had one of her best games, producing 24 kills and 18 digs against Northern Colorado. Marques currently ranks second on the team to roommate Marina Bazana in Kills (3.8) and digs (3.08) per game. Marques and Bazana grew up 40 minutes apart and would occasionally bump into each other on volleyball courts in Brazil. But it wasn't until they came to America together that their relationship began to build. Both arrived at Western Nebraska with a Portuguese tongue and a hint of English. They walked around with English dictionaries, smiled at remarks instead of replying and they would voraciously study the language together in their dorm room. "If I'm here or in Brazil, she is a part of my family," Marques said. "She is my sister and anything she needs she can come to me and I know I can go to her. "Probably one day we won't be together anymore," Bazana said trying to digest the thought of graduation separating them, ''but I will always go to her and talk to her. She's my friend and my sister." Marques lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, until age 20 when she went to Western Nebraska. "If I wasn't born there I don't think I would be the person that I am today, because we are really touchy and warm-hearted people," Marques said.

On the sidelines, Marques is an avid painter and hopes to graduate next year with a degree in graphic design. "You have to see her work to believe it," Bazana said. Marques said the artist gene comes from her mother, Lia It's no secret that Marques misses her family in Brazil. Last September, Lia flew over to watch her daughter play in America for the first time. "I knew she was there for me," Marques said. "I wish she could come back this year." But with the recent terrorist attacks and economic situation in Brazil, Marques realizes her mother will be staying home, waiting for her return. At this point, though, Marques is unsure if she'll use her artistic talents in America or Brazil. "Part of my heart is here, the other half is at home in Brazil," she said. "And if I go back home, I'll always come back to visit, because I love this country. Adaâ&#x20AC;˘ Housemam-The Metropolitan ''Playing with all these wonderful people," she said. "I will take them with me forever, because I not only made teammates, but I also made friends." One day Marques may paint the images of her life, and when she steps back from the canvas there will be more colors than words could ever describe. It'll be picture perfect.

up 12-8 and needed three measly points to move on the the championship game. They folded and ended up losing 13-15. So, revenge could be a motive for the Raodrunners this time around, but volleyball coach Debbie Hendricks ·said she wants to keep the players on an even plane. "If we continue to play loose and free and act like we have nothing to lose, we are going to play our best volleyball," Hendricks said. The balanced casts of players coming into the game are potential award winners. Metro's attack is led by 2000 RMAC Player-of-the-Year Marina Bazana and Diana Marques, who average 4.37 and 3.68 kills per game, respectively. Western State counters with Michelle Morris (4.12 kills per game) and Sarah McKinley (3.49). Last season, Morris tore up Western State's record books by setting new marks for kills in a match, average kills per game and total kills in a season. "I know they have some dominating outside hitters," Hendricks said. "No one has been very successful this year stopping Michelle Morris. We are going to look to try and contain her and then· if we can shut down another one or two of their key people we'll be all right." This is the script. Western State ranks first in hitting percentage at .280. Metro ranks first in allowing the lowest hitting percentage at .127. the Mountaineers are the best blocking team in the RMAC. The Roadrunners are fourth from the bottom in blocks per game, but they do have a higher kill per game (16.25) average than Western State (15.24).

21 THE METRpPOUTAN SEPTEMBER28, 2001

Women beat MidV1estern

Jennifer DeWolf

The Metropolitan

Ari Gold. .• -The Metropolitan Metro midfeilder Louise Kjellquist takes a blow from a Regis midfeilder Sept. 21 at Auraria Feilds.

Metro's, 4-7-1 overall, women's soccer team had a disappointing conference loss on Sept. 21 against rival team, Regis, 9-0 overall. The team was shut-out, and was clearly out-done on the field with Regis's twenty-five shots, eleven of which were shots-on-goal and Metro's two shots on goal. If Metro needed a game to touch up on defense, this was it. "It was disappointing to lose to them, but it doesn't really have an effect on the rest of the season," women's soccer coach Colin Gilmartin said, who coached for Regis last year. The Rangers kept the ball on the Roadrunners end of the field for the entire game. They started the game this way, and kept the same momentum throughout the game. For nearly 90 minutes, the Rangers kept the Roadrunners defenders and goalkeeper on their toes, and turned the Roadrunners offense into defenders. Gilmartin said the defense and goalkeeper Danielle English didn't play as well as they potentially could have. Gilmartin said, one thing the Roadruners did do well against Regis was position the ball better than they

have, but it wasn't reflected in the score. "We just made a few bad mistakes that cost us goals," Gilmartin said. Regis player Arlene Basquez, scored twice in the first half, her second goal was scored with just twenty minutes left in the game. The second goal of the game was scored by Ali Rausch.

"We just made a few bad mistakes that cost us goals," -Head coach Colin Gilmartin The Roadrunners made a comeback Sept. 23, by defeating Midwestern State and ending a five game losing slump. The game ended 2-1. Midfielder Louise Kjellquist scored a goal along with midfielder Elin Otter. In this game, the scored showed that a better game was played. Gilmartin said the girls passed better, switched the point of attack well and were able to attack the weak part of the opponent. The Roadrunners return to action against West Texas A & M at 4 p.m. at Auraria Field and will play the Roadrunner Alumni at 1 pm, Sept. 30.

Volleyball takes care of rival Regis Eric Eames

The Metropolitan

Metro's women's volleyball team ran over Regis in three games out of four at the Regis Fieldhouse, Sept. 22 "When we are running our tempo, we are just on," sophomore Michelle McBurney said, who had a career-high 18 digs. "We came out a little lax at first, then as soon as we got into our tempo we took control. Since we run a faster offense most teams can't keep up with our tempo."

Metro has won nine in a row, improving to 12-3 overall, and still at the top of the Rocky Mountain Athletic East Division with a undefeated 6-0 mark. Regis (10-5 overall, 4-2 RMAC) unset No.6 Tampa the night before and had a 26-14 all-time record against the Roadrunners heading into the match. "When we have these bigger matches we tend to play bigger," McBurney said. "There is a rivalry against Regis and Metro that's well beyond my years. It's been around forever, and you know that whenever we go into Regis' gym they are going to be on top of their game."

In the second set, Metro flustered Regis by out-hitting the Rangers .371.027. At one point Metro had a 15-point lead at 25-10. "We were picking on their outside hitters and they really got out of their system bad," Hendricks said. "And that's the key, if you can take any team out of their system to that degree you can contain them to a really low score." It was quite the opposite in the third set. Metro hit only .074 and was playing catch up during the entire match. But Metro switched it back on in the fourth game. Setter Devon Herron (47 assists)

controlled the net, while outside hitters Marina Bazana (22 digs; 14 kills) and Diana Marques (19 digs; 16 kills) controlled the outside. Metro had Regis at its mercy with a 29-19 lead and appeared a bit anxious to finish them off. "We knew we had them down, we knew we had them beat," McBurney said. "It was just about how it was going to get done." Against Colorado School of Mines the Roadrunners did just that sweeping the Orediggers in three games.

Men's soccer looks forward to Oklahoma road trip Nick Garner

The Metropolitan _

••

There is nothing like getting out of the Colorado to help the Metro men's soccer team. After going 1-2 in their last three games, which were played in a span of four days and against conference teams, the Roadrunners will head out to Oklahoma where they will play Northeastern Oklahoma on Sept. 28 and then play the University of Tulsa, a Division I school, Sept. 30. Even though the Roadrunners will not be going against any conference foes, the trip has other significance. "A very big trip," Metro coach Brian

Crookham said. "Northeastern State is a regional opponent for us, we are going back within a couple of miles of several of our players homes, so we will have some support there. "Oklahoma has been a recruiting base for us, so showing well there will be important for recruiting as well." And, of course, there is the game against Tulsa. "A Division I program, a traditional top 25 team," Crookham said. "We will be playing in front of a lot of people; and, once again, a good chance to make a mark, a very important weekend for us." This will be the first meeting between Northeastern Oklahoma and Metro, but the Roadrunners have played Tulsa once before, the last time being in 1982 when

Tulsa came to the Auraria Fields and escaped with a 1-0 win in overtime. Knowing the right people, in this case the Tulsa head coach Tom Mcintosh, got Metro its shot at the Golden Hurricanes. "I played the same time as their coach, came up in the coaching ranks the same time," Crookham said. "We needed a second game and preferred to have a showcased game." "We were fortunate that he allowed us to come in and fill in one of their dates, not easy to sell sometimes but he felt that we were strong enough to get a good game out of it." Getting a good game is something that hasn't been easy for the Roadrunners as of late. They have dropped four of their last

six games, all of them conference matches, which includes losses to Colorado School of Mines, Southern Colorado and Colorado Christian. Getting away from the conference schedule, Crookham said, will do some good for the team. Crookham said there are key factors for this weekend: getting people back healthy. "Getting us together as a group on "the road always helps, it's going to be a soccer envir.onment for a few days and get to spend time with people we like, which is each other,"Crookham said. "And we are going to get some good results against good teams, all of that combined will be a key weekend for us."
