When parents consider an education or paying for good childcare, children always win. Now, with the federal grant Auraria is receiving, both students and children win. The grant, 'Childcare access means parents in school,' helps to close the gap between low- and high-income families though campus-based child care services. During the next four years, Auraria will receive $524,000 for its childcare center from the U.S. Department of Education. Of the $131,000 a year, $76,320 is allotted to assist students with childcare expenses. The rest Tom Flldey -The Metropolitan will go toward improvements at the center.

Former Auraria. programmer faces 42 counts of sexually exploiting children Jenni Grubbs
The Metropolitan A former Auraria telecommunications worker has been charged with using his work Internet connection to surf for online child pornography. Peter K Dunn, 51, now faces 42 misdemeanor counts of sexual exploitation of children. He is scheduled to be arraigned, or told of the charges, on Feb. 28 in Denver County Court. Dunn had worked for Auraria Higher Education Center as an administrative programming specialist for a little over ten years when he was placed on administrative leave Aug. 28, 2001. He then resigned on Sept. 26. Dean Wolf, executive vice president of administration, said that on Aug. 18 he was notified that explicitly sexual images involving children bad been discovered on an employee computer used by Dunn. "A work order was turned in for

The Metropolitan As Metro's contract with the Colorado Student Association approaches its end in July, questions are being asked as to what CSA has done for the students. "CSA has been good this year," said Darren Jolly, chief justice of the Student Government Assembly at Metro. CSA supported HB 1165 this year, which passed through the House Education Committee Jan. 28. If the bill passes through the House and Senate to be signed by Gov. Bill Owens, it will grant Metro its own governance board. They also lobbied for HB 1263, known as the Student Bill of Rights, which enables students to transfer from one school to another in Colorado without losing credits. It was signed into law by Owens i.n 2001. CSA also killed HB 111 last week, which would have enabled schools in Colorado to spend money researching students' records to make sure they were registered with selective service, said Ryan McMaken, executive director of

Lobbyists evaluated CSA from 5 about $9,000 a semester. The present contract between Metro and CSA started Aug. 1, 1999, and expires July 31, 2002. CSA also has contracts with Adams State, Fort Lewis, Mesa State, and Western State colleges, as well as the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Colorado at Denver. Twice a year, representatives from each school meet with CSA to vote on proposals to be lobbied for in the coming months. Each school is allotted one representative per 6,000 students. With more than 18,000 students, Metro has four representatives. CSA policy permits one representative for a portion of the next 6,000. Subsequent forums are held monthly on a CSA member's campus to vote on how to lobby for new legislation and to measure lobbying progress, said Candace Farmer ' president of Metro SGA. Conditions of a new contract and whether or not to renew with CSA will be discussed at the next forum. Proposals SGA will be bringing to the table include a one-year contract, a higher proportion of representation, and using an internship program with CSA to expose students to the political process and to increase contact, thereby holding students and CSA more accountable, Jolly said. "Some students feel like CSA isn't representing them," said James Watson, SGA vice president of academic affairs at Metro. " But they say, 'It's only fifty cents a person, so we might as well keep them.' The only positive thing I've heard about CSA from students is that they supported Metro independence." Aaron Houston, CSA executive director from 2000-2001, pulled insurance benefits from its staff in 2001 without consulting the Board of Directors, said Jennifer Darnell, Metro president of SGA from 19992000. went over budget "CSA substantially," said Darnell. "There was a lack of leadership, so the schools tried to micro-manage leadership at CSA." Random questioning of about 25 Metro students concerning CSA yielded no results. None of them had heard of CSA.
A forum open to all students will be held 9:00 a.m. Saturday Feb. 23 in Tivoli room 329.

The Metropolitan The House Education Committee voted down a bill Feb. 12 that would have targeted college draft dodgers in Colorado. "Federal law says the secretary of education can require states to do the checks," said Sen. Ron Tupa (D). "We're simply taking it one step further that it doesn't need to be. The state already has laws set up to verify registrations with selective service." Senate Bill 111 would have expanded current state law requiring male students to submit a sworn statement that they had registered for the draft prior to enrollment. It would have required all state supported institutions of higher education to verify the information and expel violators. This was the downfall of the bill. When asked what costs they would expect to incur to verify the students registrations with selective service colleges across the state offered man; different answers. While Colorado State College said they could do it at no cost, the University of Colorado said it would range between $29,600 to 59,000, in a letter sent to the Colorado Student

Association and submitted to the committee. "In a very tight budget year, we should not be forcing institutions into this," said Sen. Norma Anderson (R), just before the committee voted down the bill. Students had opposed wording in the bill earlier this month. Derek Johnson director of legislative affairs with th~ CSA, testified against the bill to the Senate Committee on Education Feb. 7. "There are harsh penalties if you are not registered," said Executive Director Ryan McMaken, Colorado Student Association. ''There were no provisions for due process. There could be a misspelling or someone could type in a wrong social security number and the student would be out of luck." Prior to its defeat, the bill was amended to give students 'due process'. It would have given a chance to appeal to an appeals board. McMaken said the CSA would have backed it with the amendment. Colorado already has laws that require selective service checks. Currently, to be eligible for federal student loans and grants, federal policy requires draft registration. Additionally, Colorado's General Assembly passed House Bill 1284 that requires all men between 18 to 26 years of age who apply
or renew their individual or commercial drivers license, instruction permit, or identification card to register. Under House Bill 111, false information from a student would have resulted in expulsion and he would have been denied acceptance for one year. After the year, documentation would have been required prior to enrollment. Any person who gave false information prior to enrollment would also have been subject to the one-year wait. False information was classified as perjury in the second degree according to the bill. Under Colorado Revised Statutes, this is a class 1 misdemeanor. The minimum fine is six months in jail and/or a $500 fine. The maximum fine is 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Once the bill became law, students would have been required to submit the statement prior to their next term. Those under 18 would have been required to submit a new registration compliance form prior to beginning each term until his eighteenth birthday when he registers for the draft. However, the bill can still be recalled. ''It was taken off the table but, but it's by no means dead," said Ken Chlouber (R), who sponsored the bill. "I'll continue to urge the chair and others to bring back the bill."

Overall funding for education may increase this year. Under President George W. Bush's 2003 budget request of $56.5 billion for the Department of Education, Colorado
would receive $543 million. This would increase Colorado's current level of federal education grants by $27 million. President Bush's proposal would target resources to students and schools with the greatest needs, said Deputy Secretary of Education William Hansen, Feb 4. "Federal education investments are mostly targeted to programs that support poor and minority students- students who are most likely to be left behind by our education system,"
Hansen said. "President Bush's 2003 education budget would do an even better job of targeting our investments to help students and schools with the greatest need and to fund programs that produce results." With the latest grant, students will no longer need to choose between their children and a better life. "This grant closes the gap between low and high income parents,"Haelin said. "It gives kids a much better opportunity to succeed."

Letters to the e,ditor
• Smoke gets 1n our eyes •
Dear Editor, I am a sophomore student at Metro -majoring in English communication. This is my fourth semester commuting to and from this campus, daily, to attend classes. Walking from building to building has become an issue for me because of the extensive amount of smoke that hangs in the air just about head level in a smog-like haze. I am allergic to tobacco smoke and I find that my allergies are roused when walking to and from each class throughout the day. By the time I reach the destination of my next classroom my eyes are itchy, red, and watering because of weaving through this dense, smoky haze. I am concerned about the communal
use of the Auraria Campus of smokers and nonsmokers alike. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard. Researchers have proven that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)· that is, the effect of to]?acco smoke on nonsmokers, who must share the same environment wHb a smoker, is very hammful to a nonsmoker's body. The shared air is contaminated and contains all the toxic agents inhaled by a smoker. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that exposure to ETS causes 3,000 cancer deaths and an estimated 40,000 deaths from heart disease per year m nonsmokers. Secondhand smoke aggravates asthma, pneumonia,
•
and impaired blood bronchitis, circulation. My conducive research shows that five of every eight students on the Auraria Campus are smokers. Wth a whopping 63 percent of the student population as smokers what are remaining 37 percent of students who ' don't smoke to do about the issue of secondhand smoke? Secondhand smoke is too big of a health risk not to be taken seriously. Isn't there something the schools to do to provide and promote designated smoking areas throughout the campus? Christina Busick Metro Student
Find a solution to parking fees Dear Editor, As a currently enrolled student at Metro I have some concerns about the use of parking fees. I can understand there could be a need to rent out the spots from the city of Denver. It's another thing, however, to make a typically poor college student come to a school that is already receiving boatloads of money from him/her. Isn't there a ny other place they can get the money to pay for.our parking? This isn't normally a problem that would perturb me so much, but as far as I know, the price of parking is only getting higher as time goes on. In some cases a student may even have to pay for parking twice a day, this is something that even if we can't eliminate the parking fee in general, we shouldn't have to pay more than one time a day. To me it seems that parking shouldn't
be considered a privilege, and by making students pay is only sending that message. I haven't yet run into a college that makes you pay for parking on your own campus. Now, it is true I haven't run into a college right in the heart of a major city. Maybe if we could include a parking cost in the tuition fee, then not only would we have a lot more happy drivers, but a lot richer drivers too. I understand not all students drive to school, and it would be unfair for them to have to pay extra tuition, but there has to be some way to accommodate those who do. Another option could be the use of a semester or even yearlong parking pass. I have seen this used at almost every high school in Colorado, why not at the Auraria Campuses? Hopefully I have done more to inspire some solutions that I have to disturb you, but this is a problem that I think
needs a new solution. The one in place is making nobody happy, except for those who profit from this. Please take into consideration what I have said, and I'm sure I'm not the first to bring this up, so if any or all of my ideas have been shot down, I wouldn't be surprised about that either. Gary Damrell Metro Student
The Auraria Higher Education Center has limited parking passes available to students and faculty. Passes go on sale the first day of walk-in registration each semester and vary in price for handicapped, student and faculty. For more information, contact 303-556-2003. -Editor
Reader has wild taco cra-vings Dear Editor, You may or may not have noticed the quaint, little Dominoes Pizza place in the Tivoli on campus. Those of you who have would then known that the sweet smell of fresh breadsticks and piping hot pepperonis doesn't seem to attract any patrons. That's because that sweet smell does not exist, nor do the breadsticks or pepperonis or anything remotely resembling a pizza for that matter. If an eager pizza-craving student attempted to go inside for some lunch, he wouldn't be able to. Yeah, cause it's locked and they don't sell pizza there at all. There is no Dominoes Pizza, just a taunting sign and an empty building. It would be nice if someone would paint over the sign so that people aren't teased by it. But I have a better suggestion. I'm not bitter about the whole pizza thing. I
don't even like pizza that much, but we seriously need a Taco Johns! Why just the other day I went into the women's bathroom and overheard a stall conversation. One girl said, "I'm hungry." Another girl replied ''Yeah, me too." See these people are starving for Taco Johns. A similar situation occurred in my Psychology class yesterday.

Baseball sweeps opener Jason Sheehan
The Metropolitan
L.
It is never to early for spring cleaning. The Metro baseball team proved that when they pulled out their brooms and swept Concordia University back to Nebraska by winning all four games of the series over the weekend of Feb. 1617. The Roadrunners collected victories of 7-2, 12-2, 15-0 and 11-4. "It's a great start," said Head Coach Vince Porreco. "I think the biggest thing is just getting out and playing against another team was really the biggest motivation." For the Roadrunners (4-0), it was total domination in every aspect of the game. The offense shined. as it produced 45 runs compared to just eight for the Bulldogs (0-4). Leading the offensive onslaught. was sophomore Brian Edwards. The teams leading hitter from a year ago picked up the pace he set last year, going 1317 with five doubles and two triples. Edwards also had an unbelievable 15 runs batted in. Senior catcher Donnie Gwinner also started the spring campaign on a good note. Gwinner collected nine hits, seven of them doubles, and six RBis. Of the teams 54 hits, 25 went for extra bases. ''We're going to be aggressive on the basepaths, were going to take advantage of mistakes," added Porreco, about the team's attitude toward looking for the extra base. '·Everything we're going to do is being aggressive. On the basepaths, hitting ... put the pressure on the defense." While the offense was outstanding, in baseball it is good pitching and solid defense that wins ball games. Over the weekend, both ends of the spectrum were represented as the pitching staff compiled a 2.57 earned run average and the

defense committed only one error in 28 innings and turned three double plays. "Our philosophy as a pitching staff is to put the ball in play and let the defense help you out," said Porreco. 'That's what we're going to have to do all year long. When we get in trouble is when we start putting people on base (walks)." The Roadrunners stayed out of trouble by allowing only five free passes. The strong offensive support allowed the starting rotation of Steve Fox, Jason Humphrey, Jason Richardson
and Steve Neely to relax and go deep into the game. All of the starters went at least five innings, highlighted by Richardson's six innings of scoreless work in the.15-0 route. "All of our pitchers did a great job, came out and threw the ball well," added Porecco. The Roadrunners will host Nebraska-Hastings this weekend, with doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Game time is 12 p.m.

Smacked between dairies and wine presses in northern California is Santa Rosa, a small city where the very mention of his name triggers an automatic flashback. Joe Kelly. It's 1998. The Montgomery High School Vikings are making an improbable run at the Division II Joe Kelly California state championship that has the town of 120,000 on edge. Newspapers predicted an early-round playoff exit from the underdog Vikings. Yet, here they were headed to a title game, in a dream. On the day of the game, Jimmy Chitwood, the big-time shooter from a small-town team who was on the 1954 Hickory High School state champion basketball team, gave them a pep talk over a speakerphone. The same Jimmy Chitwood that was portrayed in the 1986 movie "Hoosiers."
In the game, Joe Kelly, the big-time shooter for the Vikings, scored 23 points and nailed six threes to tie a championship record. It wasn't enough to bring home the title, but that is not why he is remembered. This is. With Montgomery down 61-52 and six seconds left, the Cinderella story over, Viking coach Tom Fitchie sent in senior Gabe Stimus. Stirnus, the principal's son, didn't play the year before because of failed grades. In '98 he was the bench mascot. "This kid needed basketball and basketball needed him," Phillip Kelly said. "It helped him focus and get him back on track grade wise." Dejection had already set in by the time Stimus came in, but amid his own burnt-up emotions, Kelly rallied the team into a huddle for one more play. "Let's set up Gabe with the last shot," Kelly said. "Gabe didn't make the shot," Phillip Kelly said, ''but his father has told me that that really meant a lot to his son. To not only hang in their with these guys through his senior year, and he did real well and he is doing real well now, but just to have the opportunity to get a shot meant a lot to this kid."
Joe Kelly is not so revered at Metro. He is the unflashy shooter camped out behind the threepoint line with a quick trigger that reminds I

-Mike Dunlap, men's basketball head coach
Metro men's basketball head coach Mike Dunlap of 2000 All-American DeMarcos Anzures. "It's really hard to block his shot, because he gets it out of his hands so quickly," Dunlap said. "Joe has the greatest gift of a shooter and that is the ball gets in his hands and out of his hands very quickly."

She ended up with nine, but The Metro women's basketball team accomplished the unimaginable on Feb. 15. Their 63-58 victory against Nebraska-Kearney was the first time a visiting team beat the Lopers on their home floor in the history of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, a streak that had stretched to 78 games. According to Head Coach Mike Power, it was the team's confidence that was the overriding factor in the victory. "All week our kids believed," said Power. "We had a lot confidence that we could get it done." In the first game against the Lopers, RMAC Most Valuable Player candidate Beth Swift put up 34 points against the Roadrunners' defense. This time around, Metro was determined not to let the hot shooting of Swift bring them down. The goal for the Roadrunners was to limit the chances Swift had to shoot the ball by shadowing the guard everywhere she went. It worked, as Swift managed only nine points. "With our team, we have quick enough, good enough guards that she's not good enough to beat them off the dribble," added Power. "For her to get her shots, she needs people to get her open off screens." Power credits the defense for not allowing that to happen. "Our goal was going in, and we
four of them were free throws." However, despite the big win against Kearney, the Roadrunners have no desire to go back there and try it again. If the season were to end today, the Roadrunners would be the eighth seed for the conference tournament, and would have to travel back to Kearney for the first playoff game. That is why the games this weekend against Regis and Colorado Christian are crucial, they will dictate the entire seeding process. "What we'd really like to do is get ourselves into the sixth seed," said Power. "Which means we would stay away from playing Kearn'ey or Mesa. If we can get a sweep, if we can beat Regis [University] and [Colorado] Christian. And if [Colorado School] Mines and [Fort] Hays get a split this weekend, then we would get the sixth seed and that's what we want." If the Roadrunners can win both of their games this weekend, they can assure themselves a higher seed, and avoid the trip back to the court that RMAC teams go to die. "It's hard when you're the first team ever to do it," said Power about the possibility of returning to Kearney. ''They got a little revenge on their side. Shannon Davidson -The Metropolitan It's going to come down to the last weekend." The weekend that means so much to the Metro State Guard Natasha Mollock goes up for a lay-up against Roadrunners starts at 5 p.m. Friday. Chadron State College Feb. 7.
Three point king takes the initiative KELLY from 15 They call him a gunner, and the description is rightly so. He currently ranks third on Metro's career list of three-point field goals (113) and fourth in three-point percentage (.430). But his dad and Dunlap call him "a consonant team player," who's wants the best out of and for his teammates, and that description fits perfectly. When Kelly was 12, he decided to quit playing baseball, because he felt his Little League teammates were not dedicated toward winning like he was. ''That was a shock coming from a 12-year-old," Phillip Kelly said. At the Snow Valley Basketball Camp, they created a new award just for him. He was awarded as the best team player who showed the most character and integrity. At West Valley Junior College, he was the
â&#x20AC;˘
leading scorer. Coming off the bench! "Joe understood that the coach wanted some fire power coming off the bench and he was satisfied to come off the bench and play at the end of games, instead of being introduced at the beginning of games," Phillip Kelly said. Its more of the same at Metro. Joe Kelly came off the bench and took the pressure off the Roadrunners by nailing six threes and scoring a game-high 22 points in a first-round regional win against South Dakota State last season. This year, Kelly started slow, barely getting off the bench in some games. But, Dunlap applauds Kelly for handling the situation with such class. "He just didn't play a whole lot and never whispered a word or complained about where he was in the food chain," Dunlap said, referring to the rotation. "That's a good example for you (of why he is a team man), because
that doesn't feel good. To be sitting there, your senior year, and yet things have turned out fine for Joe, because of the way he acted." With a 3.8 GPA (4.0 in his management major), Kelly, like his father, comports himself with rare sophistication beyond that of most adults. "He's the type of guy you would want your daughter to date," Dunlap added. "He's very civil and mannerly. He's old school that's what Joe is-old school." And it's at his old school that he is remembered for spreading the wealth. He even gave a speech on success at his high school graduation. And from memory he can quote legendary basketball head coach John Wooden: "Success is a peace of mind, which is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."
