Marijuana found in car after chase by Noelle Leavitt The Metropolitan

A car chase involving two cars and three men ended at Auraria campus on Tuesday, where Auraria Police handcuffed the men and pulled what a witness said was a pound of marijuana out of one of the suspect's car. ~ "All the sudden they come racing up and I wasn't sure what was going on, and then they popped out of their car and the cops came behind them," said Metro student and witness Dan Anglin. He said the it looked as though one of the µien jumped out of the car with a gun, but after Auraria Police searched the Ford Expedition they had found a pound of marijuana, but no gun. When Auraria Police pulled the marijuana from the vehicle, Anglin said it looked like a pound or two. ~ " I was a good 100 feet away," Anglin said. One of the drivers told Auraria police he chased the other car from 11th Street and Harvard Street to Auraria campus. "They picked the wrong place for this, I wean there's people everywhere," Anglin said. Auraria officer Leonard Peete said the crime was too premature to comment on. Anglin said he appreciates the Auraria police presence in crime situations such as the one that took place on Tuesday.

Arab Americans fear internment ·Rally confronts issues and fears of Arab and Muslim Americans and questions Bush administration's purpose by Travis Combs The Metropolitan Fears concerning possible suspension of the civil lib,erties of Arab and Muslim Americans as well as the intentions of the Bush administration regarding the war in Iraq were heatedly addressed in the latest anti-war protest on Auraria last Thursday. Internment camps for the placement of Arab and Muslim Americans, reminiscent of the internment camps of thousands of Japanese Americans during World War 1i, is a real possibility in a social climate offear and mistrust during war time, said closing speaker Rania Elkhatib, a Metro student and member of both the Arab and Muslim Student Alliances. "If there was another terrorist attack by someone of my ethnicity, religion or my group, what would end up .... happening was and what is currently now in place is a ·system for interning us, an internment camp," said Elkhatib. "Literally, internment camps like the Japanese in World War IL" In her emotionally charged speech, Elkhatib, a Palestinian, spoke about her own experiences of being displaced from her home as a young girl -+- "How angry do I have to get about this?" said Elkhatib at the protest held at the campus flagpole. "How does anyone threaten to take me out of my own home? I'm a Palestinian, and I've been taken out of my home before and l'm not going to be taken again." Elkhatib said that this fear of persecution has kept

Arab and Muslim Americans from speaking out against both the Bush administration's policy regarding the justness of the current military action in Iraq and the events of9/ l l. "What was felt at 9/ 11 was felt around the world, especially by the Arab population," said Elkhatib. "Especially by the Palestinian population, who knows what it feels like when a bunch of civilians get killed for no reason." Elkhatib said that, though tragic, the events of9/1 l are often over-shadowed by the hundreds of thousands of deaths of Iraqis, a result of United States led sanctions against Saddam Hussein's Iraq for over a decade. "I want you to take a moment and think about the 3000 people killed in 9/ 11 and I want you to think about the 500,000 children under five years old who died from the sanctions on Iraq. 500,000!" Said Elkhatib. Questioning the motives behind the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq, Elkhatib said that control over the region's oil and not the liberation of the Iraqi people were the reasons for the war, and that the

MetRadio plans to broadcast on FM waves in the near futt.re along with their regular online services.

'MetRadio turns up -frequency at Auraria Internet radio station ·-transitioning to FM for campus wide broadcast system ~

by Rob Moore The Metropolitan MetRadio, the student-run radio voice of Metro, will soon be able to be heard by anyone with an FM radio on campus as long as they're .. ·n ot too far from the Tivoli. "You'll be able to pick up the radio station from within the building, and just outside of the building," said Doug Conarroe, director of Student Publications, the office that manages MetRadio. Conarroe said the radio will be able to be + heard less than 50 feet from outside the building, depending on where listeners are, but it will depend on what direction the wind is blowing. Some internal wiring of the broadcast system, called a Radiating Cable FM System, has already begun inside the Tivoli. According to -1. the system's manufacturer, LPB Communications, Inc., radiating, or "leaky," cable uses a special stranded cable that looks much like television coaxial cable. There are no requirements for FCC licensing, and it is in compliance with FCC rules, as long as it does. n 't cause any interference to licensed broadcast--.. ers. FM broadcast frequency for MetRadio hasn't yet been determined. "That will be determined once the equipment is installed and the tests are done," Conarroe said. "The FCC is not involved. There are rules you are expected to abide by, but they

don't have participation in that." MetRadio has been broadcasting since September 2001, but has only been available over the Internet via live streaming from the MetRadio website (http://www.metradio.org), or by tuning in to cable channel 27 on campus. Conarroe hopes this will supplement how students listen to MetRadio. "I did the research and determined what would and wouldn't work," Conarroe said. ''This is a project that l've been working on since I got here two years ago. It's taken this long to get to this point." Getting to this point took generating interest as well as funds. "When (Conarroe) first approached me with the idea, I asked him, 'Well, what's it going to take?' and he said 'Consistency,"' said Justice Jackson, the current station manager, who has worked with Conarroe on this project for the past year. "We have to have DJs here consistently playing music to be able to justify this." To maintain that consistency, Conarroe said the station has a goal of providing 24-hour programming, and also purchased new studio equipment that will automate programming, allowing students to prerecord shows for broadcast around the clock. Conarroe submitted a Supplemental Request for Spring 2003 to ask the student advisory board for the nearly $3,500 required for the FM broadcast equipment, cabling and required support and installation. The request was approved and equipment was ordered over spring break. Once this system is launched, the station's next goal is to expand to the Central Classroom building, then eventually reach listeners campus-wide. To do this, the signal that originates at the Tivoli would be distributed building-tobuilding using the existing Cable TV system, then broadcast within each building from the

radiating cable. The cost would be about $2,000 per building for that expansion. "My goal is to make it so talked about and so well known that it pushes the need," Jackson said. "I think the need is there. I've been to a couple of campuses back east, like Georgia Tech, and it's like the central command of their campus is the radio station. I feel we just have to create a situation that calls for one. As a recruiting tool, it's a good idea to have a station here for people who may be deciding, Do I want to go to Metro or do I want to go to CU? They might be a Communications major or they might not, they may DJ or just be into radio and this could be the deciding factor."

Metro not to be affected by Supreme Court's affirmative action decision

Mayoral candidate Tate stops by Auraria

by Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

by Shannon Davidson - The Metropolitan

Denver mayoral candidate Penfield Tate addresses the Student (jovemment Assembly meeting April 3 in TIVOii 329. Tate stated his views on subjects such as education reform, making sure college graduates are able to find work and tution costs.

Up to 10 percent tuition hike possible by Joshua Brost The Metropolitan To compensate for Metro's nearly $11 million budget shortfall, students could see tuition increases up to 10 percent for the 2003-2004 school year. "Not raising tuition would mean fewer Âˇr-elasses offered, which may increase the time a student (takes to) obtains their degree," said Student Trustee Harris Singer in an email to students. Singer also said without an increase, students would face Jess qualified faculty and a decrease in academic and student resources. A 10 percent tuition increase would raise tuition approximately $96 per 12 credit hour semester for each student and compensate for about $3.7 million of the budget shortfall. Michael Barnett, Metro's director of

administration and finance, said that the President's office will make a recommendation for a tuition increase in the Board of Trustees May meeting. He added however, that due to the constantly fluctuat ing condition of the state's budget, it is still too early to tell what amount will be suggested. Metro State is funded by three sources: state funds, tuition and student fees. State funds cover approximately two-thirds of the cost of tuition for a student with residency status. Tuition is what the student actually pays the college and student fees are used to fund organizations and student activities. "As a student, I wouldn't like to see tuition increased," said Metro student Robin vanAtten, " but it's the cost of one book. If it means the courses I need are offered when I need them, I'd pay it."

The outcome of two Supreme Court cases deciding the fate ofaffirmative action will not affect students applying to Metro, according to college officials. "Since Metro is an open- enrollment school, affinnative action doesn't play a role in admissions," said Metro spokeswoman Cathy Lucas. Lucas said while maintaining a diverse student and faculty population is important, the college's admissions guidelines dictate any student 20 years old or older must be accepted. But the two cases before the Supreme Court, Brutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger, could affect affirmative action rules in most colleges and universities as well as in the workplace. The two cases began in 1997 when three white applicants, Jennifer Gratz, Patrick Hamacher and Barbary Gruner were rejected by the University of Michigan and its Jaw schoolthe University of Michigan and its law school rejected three white applicants, Jennifer Gratz, Patrick Hamacher and Barbary Grutter. The three filed class action suits charging the university's admission preferences for black, Hispanic and Native American applicants violates violated the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act The case has drawn strong opinions both on campus and nationally. "(Affirmative action) was necessary when it started, but right now it's becoming irrelevant because blacks are being let in," said Community College of Denver student Anton Amt. But University of Colorado - Denver student Jennifer Sprangers said she feels affirmative action is still relevant "I think it was needed before to even out chances," she said "It's still a good thing. I felt at one point it would have wocked against me as an Asian American. My peers have gotten scholarships because of their background, but I don't feel disadvantaged." Shawn McKee, who graduated from Northwest Misoouri State, said he doesn't believe in using affirmative action as a quota system, but said be believes affinnative action is still necessaiy. "I agree with affirmative action because I think they need to do whatever they can to get rid ofsocial biases," he said "I agree that you shouldn't discriminate against white students or black students. If you bad a community where 80 percent of the population is black and 80 percent ofyour staff is white, that would not be right You shouldn't have x nwnber of people who are white and x number of people who are black. It should be representational." The Supreme Court's decisions in the cases is are expected to be made before July.

Metro employees' security shaken by first wave of layoffs by Sarah Schneider The Metropolitan Since spring break, nearly IO percent of the classified staff at Metro has been laid off; and if the state fiscal situation does not change, more layoffs can be expected in the future. "The classified staff serves many jobs," said President of Classified Staff Council Jim Becker. - ..'Classified employees perform the nuts and bolts operations of the school." Metro's administration laid off 26 classified employees, or 10 percent of its present staff, during and after spring break. This is considered the first wave, according to Becker.

Metro's Vice President of Administrative Finance, Michael Barnett said that he won't know bow much money will be saved by the layoffs until the whole process is completed May 22. "Hopefully, no more employees will be laid off," said Barnett. Many classified staff members are eligible to replace another employee, Becker said. Employees who are eligible, based on performance and seniority, could move into other classified positions that have not been eliminated instead of taking the separation incentive. "It is the bumping chain process that will continue until the people who have no retention are gone," Becker said.

Currently lO out of26 are bumping. "My biggest concern is the effects the layoffs will have toward Multi-cultural and African American studies; all administrative support has been laid off. Same with International Studies Abroad programs, and the adviser for international students has been laid off as well," said Becker. ''There is no reorganization of those positions that has been acknowledged." C. J. White, chair of the African American Studies Department, said the department is still in place even though there is one layoff and two fulltime faculty retiring. He's not sure however,about the future of the department. White and Akbarali Thobhni are the two

employees retiring from the African American Studies Department and the employee position that was eliminated bumped another faculty position in another department. The African American Studies program is going to continue. Layoffs are the result of budget cuts, not program cuts, said Joan Foster, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences. "At the time being, the elimination process is over, as far as I know," said Foster. "Am I safe, am I not safe?, Am I here or am I not here? There is a great deal of insecurity among the classified staff:" said Becker. "I don't know about my job; I've been here four to five years and, most~. I could be bumped."

War is We need to pray very hard aberrant War is an aberration of human behavior. That said, I cannot support this war. l could not support any war. I support our troops. I want them to come home. I want our folks here to go to work, tuck in their kids and kiss their loved ones. This is forever and always why l cannot support war, it is simply not right. We are made to love from all three levels of our being and as always the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Yo u see, ordinary human behavior is often abnormal. Any kind of violence is abnormal. This is from thousands of years of conditioning passed down to us through our parents and their parents and so on. Violence appears to be a Melissa normal part of human McGuire existence because it has become ordinary. We got used to it. As humans beings, however, we have the potential to be extra-ordinary. We have the capacity to wonder about our creation, our evolution, our origins and ourselves. We wonder if there is anything else and if so, what? This is a universal principle. Hell, even the agnostics, atheists and existentialists I know want answers to those same questions. The big, "Who am I?" Science and religion really aren't all that different from one another when it comes down to the answers they seek. Both want to know the origins of the universe and ourselves. While scientists will posit theories and revise statistics over and over, religionists will fervently, blindly, and without question, stick to whatever they were told and defend that ''knowledge" to the death. We need both science and religion. We need to question everything, and when we have questioned and come to an experience of somethingeven something as simple as waking up with a smile-then there is no need to defend this "thing." You see, true faith, or, knowledge via experience, is unquestionable, but comes from questioning. True faith cannot be taken from a person, so it needs no defending. True faith is something that I cannot impart to you and you cannot impart to me - you and I must experience it individually. There are things that are known that science can never prove, and events science can prove to be "real" but are contrary to reality. Everyone is taught that war is an unfortunate necessity at times and we must always be prepared for wars and still maintain our hope for peace. Einstein said that "we cannot simultaneously prepare for peace and war." When we collectively clear our heads we may begin to understand that our brothers and sisters across the world are connected to us. We eat, breathe, and bleed just like them. Perhaps this may make you stop for a moment and look past the superficial things like religion and skin color, in which not one of us had any choice. Going to war over values and beliefs in which we had no choice and which were imposed on us for the sake of a certain way of life, a religion or tradition is wrong. It is crap. Your coffee, by the way, came from a far corner of the world and has been handled and processed by many people of races and beliefs different from your own, and is now all poured right into your cup. Isn't that the most marvelous thing?

The truth lies in government propaganda. -Andrew D. MacPhail

" Has the United States government left its citizens guessing?" Noam Chomsky's Theory of Transformational Syntax posits that such a question must derive from the statement, "The United States government has left its citizens guessing." Andrew The government MacPhail give s Americans many respectable reasons for the second Gulf War: to eliminate stashes of biological and chemical weapons, to stop a military dictator from gaining enough strength to become another Germany, and to crush a main source of Osama bin Laden 's support, to name a few. But Noam Chomsky's address, " Iraq and Imperial Ambition," reminds us that we should not let our government's rhetoric go unquestioned. Many nations doubt the United States' supposedly altruistic motives for this war, and with good reason. The government led citizens down trails paved with both truth and lies during the Vietnam conflict, during the Cold War era, during the early l 980's scares involving Grenada and Nicaragua, and even during the original Gulf War. While Chomsky's implicit suggestions of an American aspiration to world conquest seem farfetched, his analysis outlines a troublesome set of facts that spell confusion for the public. United States media reporting comprises selectivity and bias. While many newspapers, television news shows, and radio talk shows appear to be antiwar and seem to espouse a liberal viewpoint, the writers and hosts of these articles and programs continually imitate Dickinson by "telling the truth, but telling it slant" ABC, NBC, CNN, and other American sta-

tions concentrate on the technological supremacy and the efficient, effective progress of the Coalition forces. BBC news, the mainstay of the news reporting for the other country in the Coalition paints a very different picture of the war, showing unedited pictures of the death and destruction. But both media groups fail to address the motivations underlying the assault. The United States' justification of the attack using the United :-.Jations Security Council's code concerning "preemptive" strikes disguises the invention ofa new brand of fighting that Chomsky calls "preventive war; a nice way of saying ' attack whomever you please."' The Security Council's

file.

At home and abroad, the United States exhibits a new strain of McCarthyism. While Chomsky warns that unabated activity of this type will lead down a slippery slope of Fascist activity that will make the United States into the ultimate rogue state, citizens without reliable sources for balanced information must confront difficult questions. From the mutual shadow o f Communism and Fascism, the Amc1ican mind begs to know: •\¥by do government agencies hide information - to protect the United States from terrorist attack, or to conceal a witch hunt? •Why don 't news agencies focus on the real

Fram the mutual shadow of Communism and Fascism, the American mind begs to know . .. code regarding ·'preemptive" strikes authorizes any nation to counter the attack of another nation, provided said attack is in progress; however, it does not authorize the creation of an initial attack. The Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act could be used in unconstitutional ways by violating citizens' Fourth Amendment rights and by contradicting the long history ofprecedents ensuring personal privacy for United States citizens regardless of race or religious affiliation. The proposed Patriot II legislation would allow the Attorney General to strip a citizen of citizenship based on presumptions concerning that citizen's possible future crimes against the state. Another proposed bill, if passed, would grant the Vice President the power to unconditionally and unilaterally classify documents.

reasons behind the war - because they can't find them, or because they' re paid not to discuss them? •Will we find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - because Iraq couldn't hide them well enough or destroy them before we arrived, or because we put them there so that we could find them? American citizens have reason to grow both weary and wary of the struggle. If they accept what they're told at face value, they may not know the truth; nevertheless, if they question what they're told, they may be subject to political profiling and the treatment that goes with it. The even more maddening paradox is that since history is written by the winners of war, the only way Americans will know the truth is ifAmerica loses the war - a stiffprice to pay, no matter how much anyone may sympathize with the opposition. With choices like this, Bush is right: Americans need to pray, and pray hard.

Revered Chomsky abrogates logic Dr. Noam Chomsky is a brilliant linguist. Only a genius of language could have such a following, say so much, and at the same time, say nothing at a1L Chomsky's lecture Friday night contained a plethora of material for any student of logic to dissect But what did Chomsky actually say? "What are some solutions?" asked the first questioner. "I think we all know them," replied Chomsky. That same question was on my mind throughout the whole lecture because I noticed he never offered a single solution. Chomsky started out by attacking the foundations of America. The founding Nick fathers were afraid of mobBahl rule and as a result they formulated our government accordingly. They set our government up in a democratic way, but in a way that everyone had a say and no one had control. Chomsky obviously has a problem with this. He may believe in true democracy, but America was not set up as a true democracy and by attacking our foundation, he attacks America as a wbole. His argument then moved from antiAmerican rhetoric to fallacy by frequently refer-

ring to the United States as the first superpower and "public opinion" as the second. He attempted to convince the audience that this war must be wrong because a minority of people around the world is against it Since when does a majority prove anything? A majority opinion may still be very ine-0rrect. Recently, an Anti-War Auraria Officer made the same argument when I was told that, "before the war began, an international protest of 600 million people occurred." This was the answer I got when I asked how this war was going to affect daily life in America. Despite the fact that this answer had nothing to do with the question, it shows the majority argument at work. President Bush called these protesters a "focus group," and rightly so. Chomsky attempted to make a fallacious argument that didn't apply because he didn't even have a majority. After an hour of fallacy number one, he moved right along to his second argument. Ad hominem arguments go as such: bash the character of the other side in order to damage the perception of them, then move on to your unrelated point. Chomsky claimed that previous Republican administrations tried to scare people, while he scared people with his conspiracy theories. He then went on to say that these administrations ran budget deficits. Finally, he claimed that the current Bush Administration "represents extremely

corrupt corporate power." However, his main complaint was against the Reagan Administration. Ronald Reagan was a champion of the middle class. Reagan saved the American steel industry. The left loves to criticize Reagan's protective tariffs because the left claims to believe in neoclassical economics. In short, giving up American sovereignty to international organizations. Also, because they don 't want the American people to know that tariffs protect the dissolving American middle class. If the left can no longer shout about how the right supports the rich, where does that leave them? Once the economic character attack was complete, he made it clear that he doesn't agree that the United States needs to police the world, but that he doesn't believe in isolationism either. This is a huge contradiction. He never gave us anything solid! Chomsky never stopped complaining and placing blame. How typical is this? He said nothing by offering nothing. When did we start regarding people who do nothing but complain as great political minds who should mold and form policy? Chomsky will never rightly be considered great because he has never and will never offer a solution to any problem. Dr. Chomsky: stop pretending to offer solutions by illogically preaching unrelated, irrelevant history. What good is he to anyone other than a student studying incorrect uses of logic?

have double standards

•

Veteran war reporter Peter Arnett reminded us this last week that the light of patriotism can be blinding. Arnett was fired from NBC, MSNBC and National Geographic for giving an interview to Iraqi television. Arnett's tone and diction in the interview leave very little room open for debate as to Arnett's opinion of the handling of the war with Iraq by the Bush Administration. Arnett Justin goes as far as to say, Breuer "The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan." Arnett made the foolish choice to grant an interview with Iraqi television, as opposed to just an Arab network like Al-Jazeera. Iraqi television is the direct mouthpiece of Saddam 's regime, an obvious propaganda tool almost to the point of ridicule as evidenced by news anchors in full military uniform . It is fair to say that Amett's interview did aid the Iraqi regime, if in nothing else but the realm of pubic opinion. However, to label Arnett as a traitor is both foolish and incorrect. To provide some contrast to Arnett there

is the blundering Geraldo Rivera. Rivera has been openly supporti ve of the Bush Administration, but through his incompetence he gave away the position and tactical war plan of the troops he was embedded with. Rivera cast unit cohesion into disarray by dividing the troops in regard to their view of him. Half the troops supported Rivera, perhaps in part because he had the ability to help them communicate with loved ones back in the States. Let's just say the other half wouldn't be overly distraught if Rivera got hurt. Rivera was finally removed after two days by order of the military, but is still in employment with Fox News. The double standard has been established. Those reporters who support the war are allowed to make mistakes; those who disagree with the war are not. Another double standard is the media coverage of anti-war protests. All the networks have taken to differentiating between anti-war protests and support-the-troops demonstrations. Pro-war rallies are not distinguished from support-the-troops demonstrations. This type of distinction implies that anti-war protesters are not in support of the troops. When asked about the inherent bias of this distinction, the prevailing logic is that some anti-war protesters represent a "radical fringe element" that do not support wars or

the militaries that fight them. There is no mention of a radical fringe element that would support war but not our troops, like John "the American Taliban" Walker or the member of our military who threw the grenade into his commanding officer's tent. It is never wise to use a radical fringe element to justify the treatment of a mainstream movement. NBC 's initial reaction to Arnett's interview was to support him. In a statement Sunday, NBC News spokeswoman Allison Gollust said, " His impromptu interview with Iraqi TV was done as a professional courtesy and was similar to other interviews he has done with media outlets from around the world." She went on to say that, "His remarks were analytical in nature and were not intended to be anything more. His outstanding reporting on the war speaks for itself." A day later, Arnett was fired. It would have been one thing if Arnett blatantly lied to support the Iraqi Regime, but all he did was to tell the truth as he saw it. If blame is to be given it should fall on the shoulders of the politicians who painted an overly optimistic view of the war before it began. If there is one thing to take away from this mess, it's that for all our media's talk of being fair and balanced there is a riptide of bias threatening to pull our heads down and keep us in the dark.

Find the will to camp for peace

"We don' t lack tools," said Noam Chomsky in ills 1ecent talk at the_Auraria Events Center. " We lack will." This answer, given in response to a woman asking about methods of resisting injustice, is very interesting. Chomsky . pointed out that prior movements - the struggles of civil rights, labor, women 's suffrage, Satyagraha in India - had left us with a legacy of activism proven to be Joel effective. Why then have Tagert we been unable to stop this eminently unjust war in Iraq? " We lack will." Chomsky points a finger right back at us. Of course, as a nation, we not only lack will; we also lack an educated populace. People are unlikely to gain the will to end a war if they believe that the slaughter is somehow just, and the ir beliefs are intentionally manipulated by the establishment through the corporate media. However, as individuals, we must ask ourselves if we personally have the will to reprioritize our lives in order to prevent the needless murder of thousands. What are our lives worth? What is the life of another person worth to us? And how can we reprioritize for peace

without neglecting our short-term and longterm needs? Mohandas Gandhi took these questions seriously, and was known for his iron will - a stubbornness that could change the world.

Brian P. Reed Dear Katie Piz, I dare say that meeting your friend, "Flat Stanley," has re-reminded me of life's meaning. I'm sure I was introduced to you last Thanksgiving. I was the goofy guy. l know that you have pictures of "Flat" with the snowman, his trip to Red Rocks, and others. I want to introduce myself to you and and your classmates. I am, "The Gadfly". Kind of like The Walrus, "Goo Goo G 'Joob. " My column is about hope. I call myself a "Gadfly" because I respect Socrates, the first western philosopher who created a concept referred to as "education." I, too, want to be a philosopher/teacher. My column is about the future. Trust me. A few aphorisms : • Simplify. Simplify. • There is truly a difference between being hungry and asking for more and being a moron. • Question Authority. • What does not destroy you makes you stronger. •Do not be afraid to cry or yell. •Whether you think you can or can't. you' re right. •As mean as people are, they can still be nice. •When confronted once, offer an olive branch. When confronted twice, use the olive branch as a weapon. •Nothing happens without (a) reason. •There is no reason, only love. •Live each day as though it were your last. •Life has no meaning. It is meant to be lived . •While you are young, never sleep unless you are tired. •Honestly, love your mom and dad, your sister or brother, and your entire family (in the big sense). •Keep your cards close. •Do not lie/deceive (Unless aprion) •Do not drag on the dragon. •You are the master of YOUR destiny, not the destiny of others. •Someone will "get it," while others lie stately by. •Trust is not a four letter word. •Our exploring will have no end until we meet our beginning for the first time. •There is no difference between the three wise men and the Three Stooges, except a word.

Birthday: March 31, 1947 Pet Peeve: Students who misspell words on their reports If I had one million dollars I would: buy my brother a house, travel with my family, and support the Red Cross (especially the Red Cross' efforts to assist our troops in Iraq) Favorites:

by Will Moore -The Metropolitan Dr. Nancy Frontczak, a business professor at Metro, is praised and respected by her students. She was recently voted Metro's most-loved teacher.

Metro's most-loved teacher by Jonathan Kuenne The Metropolitan Too often it seems, the remarkable teachers who change lives go unrecognized. Nancy Frontczak, a marketing professor at Metro received her recognition during the homecoming basketball game this year. According to the Human Resource department, Metro currently employs over 1,100 faculty members. Of all of them, Frontczak was recognized by Metro State alumni as 'Metro's most loved professor. ' " It was a really big honor to me, l really like students here," Frontczak said. "I really love Metro. The mission is a teaching mission. It's a school that really focuses on teaching," Frontczak went on to say. Several alumni showed their appreciation to Frontczak. Diane Minnis Madlinger, class of 1990, .recalled the following about Frontczak: "Her door was always open, as well as her heart and mind. She had an incredible way of opening my eyes to the world of marketing and all its possibilities," Madlinger said. "With her upbeat style and her warm beautiful smile, I truly believe she was the gem of Metro State," she added. Another student of Frotczak's, Eric Peterson, class of 1999, said that Frontczak always had a great attitude and made every student interested in the subject matter of her consumer behavior course. He said she did such a great job with the subject material and delivery

that it is no wonder every student in the class thought she was an amazing professor, and all agreed that it was their most memorable class at Metro. Frontczak has been teaching for the past 33 years. She began her crusade of educating students back in 1970 while earning her masters at the University of Illinois. "I never really thought about teaching," Frontczak said. However, during an interview last Monday, Frontczak went on to say that for the past 33 years, she has doing something she loves to do. "] do love to teach," she says. "l really love students." Frontczak says that the classes of students are always evolving and always changing. The way that Frontczak puts together courses and teaches them significantly differentiates her from other professors. "I like to do things to surprise students," she said. "I like to keep things fresh and alive. I really want the students to learn, but also want them to know that I care about them." Frontczak told of one semester when she walked into her Consumer Behavior class the first day and asked the students how they would like to plan the semester. She actually ripped up the syllabus in front of them and had them organize the course themselves. "They did a great job," Frontczak said. Frontczak says the secret to her success may be her style - experiential learning. "I really do

focus on experiential learning," she said. She has her classes work on projects with real businesses - real world experience, experiential learning. In addition to teaching, Frontczak said that she never planned to study business while in undergraduate studies. "I applied late and the only school available was business," Frontczak said. She says that at the time there were hardly any women students in the business school at the University of Illinois. "I planned on transferring out of the business school and into liberal arts. lt was by accident that I ended up studying marketing," Frontczak said. Not that Frontczak has come to be without discipline, hard work or heart to do what she does. Frontczak has published articles in eight scholarly journals including the Journal of Advertising Research, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Advertising, Marketing Education Review, Business Horizons, International Journal of Management, Health Marketing Quarterly and Journal of Hospital Marketing. For the past five years Frontczak has also been the associate editor for the Journal of Marketing Education on Experiential Learning. "I feel like I am up-to-date in that area [experiential learning]," she said. Here at Metro, Frontcz:ak teaches Principles of Marketing, Consumer Behavior, and Promotional Strategy. Outside of teaching, Frontczak says the highlight of her life is spending time with her family. She doesn't consider herself an athlete, but has participated in the Boulder Bolder every

The nature of photography

Career assistance available by Stan Brown The MetropoHtan

by Takako Sonobe Guest Reporter

John Fielder, founder of Westcliffe Publishers, opened his Colorado gallery in the Cherry Creek Mall in September 2002. He is one of the most widely known nature photographers in Colorado. Fielder started his Cherry Creek Gallery because he was not pleased with the printing process used for his books and calendars. He sa id a new digital process captured tiny details and pennitted him to fix defi ciencies in the printing process. He wanted to share these new prints with people, and felt his own gallery would be an ideal place to showcase his books, prints, and other books that Westc liffe publishes. Ph otograph in g earl y in the morning and late in the evening helps capture long shadows, Fielder says. The color of the light is a warm yellow, which makes the photograph more brilliant than any other rime of day. "An hour before sunset, an hour after sunrise, that's one of my secrets;' Fie lder said. He uses a large format camera, whic h is so heavy that "my knees hurt all the time." Fielder is also a master of marketing, and he developed this expertise along with bis photography. He said be did not want to compete with New York publishers, who make books of national interest, so he started small by publishing his own photographs and books about Colorado. Fielder's first career was in management with Foley's Department Store, which honed his business and marketing skills. Nature photography was his hobby, and at 31 years old he yearned to make it his career. His wife suggested he g ive h imself one year to succeed - and it worked. Fie lder began his own publishing company, and fou nd a large investor, which allowed him to build his business even more quickly. Future plans are to continue building his business by publishing not only his own work, but also those of other p hotographers, and guidebooks. Fielder admits the economy

He has plans to sell his photographs to corporations, interior design companies, and perhaps even open galleries in other Colorado cities. Most of all, however, Fielder plans to do what he enjoys most: continue taking photographs. Fielder, who was raised in North Carolina, thinks that

thing he feels any successful photographer must have. He said that persistence and having a good business and marketing sense are also essential. "Whatever you do, do something you love," he said.

For most students, a successful career after graduation is their goal. The staff in the Career Services Center at Metro are there to help students do just that. Their office is located on the second floor of the central classroom building in room 203. Career counseling is of one the services provided. During the session, you meet one-on-one with a career advisor. They'll answer your questions, help you fill out your resume and help you find a job. You can set up an appointment and come in for an hour. or walk in for a twenty-minute session between 11 a.m. and noon, Monday through Friday. Career Services also provides The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which acts as a personality assessment, and the Strong interest lnvcnto1y which gives you a list of possible occupations. TI1e tests arc $20 separately or $30 for both. The assessment tests are the only things you have to pay for: everything else Career Services has to offer is free. The Career Library, includes job postings of all kinds. There is also Monster Track, which is similar to the online job search engine, Monster.com, but provides employment geared toward collage students. Career Services isn't a career placement service, but they do offer you all the tools you need to find employment. In addition, there are many different career workshops students can attend. The workshops cover interviewing, job search strategies, graduate school, and a video taped mock interview. There are also career fairs and events on campus throughout the year. If you are planning your postgraduate career or have an undecided major, Career Services can make things a lot easier for you. You can still get help from them even after you graduate; there are no exclusions for alumni. So make an appointment or stop by, it'll be worth your while.

The Odd Couple Vintage Theatre Productions, a new theatre company that involves Metro student Lindsay Goranson, will present the female version ofNeil Simon's The Odd Couple beginning April 26. Goranson, a Speech Communications major who recently played Laura Cortland in Metro Theatre's Under the Gaslight, is Vintage Theatre's marketing director and plays Rene in The Odd Couple. Vintage Theatre is a touring company that specializes in productions that are flexible and portable enough to be performed at various community venues. " The idea of bringing quality theatre to community groups is not a new one, but it requires a seasoned cast capable of performing in many environments," said executive director Craig Bond. Bond and the cast of The Odd Couple proved themselves to be more than capable during a preview performance at the Littleton Community Center. The play was performed on II ·th 1 a ow, sma stage w1 out proper stage lighting. • 4 • • • • • •.• • • • • • ,•...... • • •, •......... • • • + • • • ................ ....

Nonetheless, the actors looked completely comfortable in the setting and shared between them good chemistry and comic timing. The full house laughed generously throughout the performance, especially during a scene where the upstairs neighbors, Spanish brothers Manolo and Jesus Costazuela (Scott Glennon and Dennis Sanchez), come down for dinner, and language and cultural barriers make for hilarity. The Odd Couple, starring Libby Rife as Olive Madison and Janene Kahlenbach as F lorence Unger, will play in Denver at the better-equipped El Centro Su Teatro, 4725 High Street, April 26 and May 10 at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, or $15 at the door.

relationships. Through a series of"interviews," the play examines the strain placed on those relationships and reveals the characters' different ways of dealing with death. The play won a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize when it opened in 1977. The Shadow Box will be performed April 30,May 2 and May 4 in the Metro Studio Theatre in the King Center. Tickets are free for Metro students, $8 for other students and $ 10 for everyone else. Blue Window, directed by Brett Maughan, is a lighter drama that depicts the leisure lives of seven New Yorkers. Though the characters are sometimes seen at home in their apartments and at other times grouped together at a dinner party, their conversation usually overlaps. As a result of Lucas' brilliant timing, the artfully interwoven lines create an intriguing tapestry of dialogue. Blue Window, which opened in 1984, won several awards, including a Los Angeles Drama Critics' Award. Blue Window can be seen April 29, May l and May 3 in the Metro Studio Theatre in the King Center. Tickets are free for Metro students, $8 for other students, and $15 for general public. , .... ., " • •

The Cradle Will Rock University of Colorado at Denver Theatre will present The Cradle Will Rock, Marc Blitzstein's controversial 1937 musical. The work emerged when Blitzstein took a suggestion to "write a piece about all kinds of prostitution - the press, the church, the courts, the arts," - and deals with the concept of "selling out."

It was to be produced by the Federal Theatre Project, a branch of a government organization that aimed to boost the economy -. by creating jobs, and was directed by the young Orson Welles. However, the FTP decided not to produce the play due to the politically charged state of society. The play opened anyway, without sets or orchestra, and was a legendary success, but was accused of being inclined toward communism by the House Un-American Activities Committee. The Cradle Will Rock was the source for the 1999 film of the same-'name. The Cradle Will Rock, directed by Penny Cole, will be performed April 23-26 and April 30 though May 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Courtyard Theatre in the King Center. Tickets are $5 for UCD students, $7 for other students and $10 for

Chomsky tells of propaganda war from CHOMSKY on 14 - - - - -

·-

"The disparity of force is so extraordinary and seen in both stories, but differently presented. On one side it's with rejoicing, and on the other it's a little less exuberant," Chomsky said. "This achievement of propaganda is pretty spectacular," Chomsky said. "The United States is completely alone in these beliefs; nobody shares them." Chomsky said the two different views of the war are so radically different that it's becoming a serious concern for the U.S. policy planners, and as a consequence it's becoming a maj or story in the mainstream press. "Bush asked, ' why do they hate us?' That's kind of a silly question. They don't hate us; they hate (our) policies," Chomsky said. "There is a reason why they hate you, Mr. Bush. and your friends: because of what you do. What you and your cronies have done in the last year has led to enormous hatred and fear. The U.S. is feared by much of the world." According to Chomsky, some answers were provided to the current administration on why Americans are being viewed w ith distain, but so far they have all been systematically evaded. The world is more concerned about the unbridled use of American power than it is w ith the threat of Saddam Hussein. "In fact, the world didn't see much of a threat of Saddam Hussein, including the countries right nearby. They hate him, but they know that he's no threat to any other countries. (Iraq is) the weakest country in the region, it was smashed by the 1991 war, and it' s been absolutely devastated by U.S. I British Sanctions," Chomsky said. Chomsky said the effect of the war in the Arab and Muslim world is very dramatic. There is a growing hatred of America, which is now being perceived as a violent and cruel aggressor, relying on its command of an overwhelming force to crush whomever stands in its way. Chomsky said in the future, the voice of people in the Middle East is going to be that of radical Islam, calling for a war against America and its secular nationalism. Recent polls con- · ducted by a well-known Middle Eastern scholar at the University of Maryland, found that a majority of people from all over the Arab world want Islamic clergy to play a greater role in their own governments. "(Middle Easterners) hated Saddam, and still do, but know they are admiring him because he's standing up to the savage Americans, and in death he will probably become an even greater hero than he is now," Chomsky said.

by Will Moore - The Metropolitan Audience members applaud Dr. Noam Chomsky as he concludes a lecture given April 4. In the lecture, Dr. Chomsky criticized the recent attempts by the ,.. United States at international diplomacy and tne current war with Iraq.

Chomsky said that about 95 percent of the people living in the Middle East are convinced that the United States has no interest in the region beyond its oil interests. They see the United States as protecting Israeli power, and they see it as humiliating Arabs and Muslims. "We can choose to live in a cocoon, kind of admiring ourselves," Chomsky said. "That' s not necessarily the wisest course; it's not a particularly admirable one either." Chomsky said George Bush and "his associates" have turned the United States into a pariah state that is greatly feared throughout the world. And now, the United States is regarded as the greatest threat to world peace. According to Chomsky, the New York Times published a story, which said, there are

Chomsky: love him or don't from a point of view that is difficult to empathize with because of a lack of understanding and acknowledgement of contrary viewpoints. "You can tell he's coming form a totally different world then you are," said Rocha. "He was so into what he was saying and I was thinking, I can't relate. I can't take a stand or argue with that because this guy's way far and above my way of thinking. I don't want to say I was dissatisfied with it, I was intrigued, but it was his world." Rocha also said that Chomsky's critsism of both the Regan and Bush presidential administrations was lacking the understanding ofthe immense responsibility of decision making among America's leadership. "Regardless of Watergate or the Kennedy's of Bush, those guys up there make very difficult decisions," said Rocha. ''This guy doesn't know, he hasn't been up there. He's never made those decisions, he may have studied the issues in depth, and he's always going to have that lack of understanding."

view, which would remain otherwise inaccessible in mainstream media. "He's an incredible gateway," said Ekundayo. "Who gets to see Chomsky. Who's even heard of him?" 'The majority of this county gets their information from mainstream media and that's it Unless you are in an academic setting, you are not going to have known who this man is." Not everyone had gushing reactions to Chomsky though. Although impressed by the thoroughness and depth of Chomsky's research and insights into war and its consequences, Metro student, Jose Rocha said that the speech left him feeling alienated and unable to relate to the ideas being presented. "This man is obviously devoted, knows his book sources and to what he's speaking about," said Rocha. "He defiantly made a point and he made sense but he was so far out there."

now two superpowers on the planet: the United States and world public opinion. Chomsky said he didn't believe this was an incorrect description. ''You might search your history books, and see if you can find anything remotely comparable," Chomsky said. "It's enormous. It's quite an achievement. So how did Bush and his associates manage to make themselves the most feared and hated political leadership in the world, shaming their county and, in fact, endangering the population?" Chomsky said some of the worlds antiAmerican sentiment began last September with the public presentation of the national security strategy. The policy that was declared is sometimes called, by the press and elsewhere, a "preemptive war," but Chomsky said that's a mistake. It's not a preemptive war; a preemptive war has a meaning, falling loosely within the framework of existing international law. "It's called a preventive war. Preventive means you are going to prevent anyone who might challenge you. But even that goes too far, because the U.S. government assigns to itself the right to decide who is a potential challenge," Chomsky said. "The word prevent isn't really correct, it's any challenge they invent or create, which means, essentially, authorization to attack anyone that you like." The foreign policy elite in the United States are afraid, Chomsky said, because the policy is likely to lead to hostile reactions from other countries. ''Nobody can deter the United Stated by force, but there are other ways, like weapons of mass destruction," Chomsky said "Or terror, and so it's likely to lead to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and terror, and other means to try to control a superpower which has announced clearly that it intends to run the world by force, and to attack anyone it likes. That was the doctrine that was announced." Chomsky said, the current administration is following a formula of creating paranoia and fear in order to stay in power. This was the formula used by both George Bush Senior and President

Regan during their terms. Typically, these administrations start off with huge tax cuts, benefiting the rich and creating huge deficits which, Chomsky said, means cutting services for the general population and retaining benefits for a small sector of the American public. These policies, he said, become very unpopular with the general population. The administration then creates an atmosphere of fear, in order to stay in public power. "If you frighten people enough, they will huddle under the umbrella of power," Chomsky said. "You keep pushing the panic button. Ifpeople are afraid, wel~ they may vote for the powerful to be protected That's pretty much what happened." Chomsky gave examples of Bush Senior's war on drugs, and Regan's war with Grenada. "These thing work. They don't work very Jong, but they frighten people if you keep at it, and people will stay frightened," Chomsky said. Chomsky said the United States has an obvious ulterior motive in regard to Iraq. He said it has been the United States' goal to be in control of Middle Eastern oil reserves since World War II, and Iraq is extremely important because it has the second largest oil reserves in the world. ''The purpose is not really access to oil; it's control over oil," Chomsky said. "When you control the enormous resource, you, for one thing, control the material wealth that flows from it. But more significant than that, you have a lever of ~ world control." Chomsky said Americans are the most privileged people in the world, thanks to the struggles of many of our predecessors who left a legacy of freedom that we can use. And what Americans lack is not the means to make a difference, but the will to. "You know, the government really has no power to do any of these things," Chomsky said. "It has as much power as people are going to allow it to have. We're living in a very free country, and it got that way through struggle, and it can be kept that way through struggle."

Hays provides a lesson Metro drops home series at Regis Field by Eric Eames The Metropo/ftan

•

' -.

The old Tivoli backdrop is not making the Roadrunners feel at home of late. And batting practice has been reduced to a chainlink cage for fear that a homerun might collide with a car heading eastbound on Auraria Parkway. In a last-minute discovery on April 3, a day before they were to play a four-game borne series against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference leaders Fort Hays State, the Metro baseball team found out that the blizzard of2003 did extensive damage to its homerun screen, which has since been taken down. The screen, seen as a "liability'' and must be replaced, extends from centerfield to the leftfield comer, capturing balls streaming over the outfield fence before they touchdown in the downtown traffic flow. The damage forced the Roadrunners to move the home series, and possibly the rest of their home games, to Regis University. But Regis Field didn't bring the Roadrunners any luck this past week, losing the first three games to Fort Hays before salvaging the final contest on a granite pitching performance by Jason Humphrey in a 4-3 win. The Roadrunners lost by scores of 13-1, 13-9 and 10-7 on games played April 4-5. Metro had plenty of chances to nab the series, though. "We didn't have timely hits and we didn't have timely pitching," said Metro pitcher Brad Swartzlander. "Hays is a good team. They are a good hitting team, but we should have came out with three of the four games." Humphrey was daring the odds and fate in trying to silence Fort Hays' bats-and most of the time he won.

by David Merrill -The Metropolitan Since coming to Netro, ~uati~ seni~ Pabick Mutombo (left) and Clayton Smith have teamed up to lead the Roadrunners to three conference championships and two national championShips. Mutombo has ideas of playing professional basketball Europe, while Smith, who leaves as Metro's all-time as.sist leader, remains undecided about his future.

- Smith, Mutombo leave lasting marks by Eric Eames The Metropolitan

-~-

Clayton Smith and Patrick Mutombo gained public recognition when they undressed Kentucky Wesleyan in front of a nationwide audience for the 2002 NCAA Division II Championship. When the buzzer sounded on the 80-72 victory, a CBS TV crew closed in on Mutombo as he flexed his pectorals, shouted into the camera and skipped away. Voted the game's most outstanding player after dropping 29 points on the Wildcats, it was a performance that quenched all doubts. Somewhere on that same court in Evansville, lnd., Smith, whose line (nine points, 12 assists and four steals) earned him a spot on the 2002 Elite Eight team, quietly silenced his own critics. When there's one, the other is a whisper away. "We've spent so many years together and we've been through a lot together," said Mutombo, who was on the receiving end of many of Smith's school record 612 assists. "Our stories are a little.bit different, but similar to a certain extinct. We both struggled in the beginning and we stuck with it and we went through the process of maturation and in the end we came out victorious, because we learned and grew as young men and became good basketball players and we developed successful relationships with our coach." This season opponents had to pay an equal degree of attention to the senior tandem, who will graduate in May. With Smith controlling the point with unworldly quickness and dribbling craftily through defensive holes, and Mutombo floating pull up jumpers over tangled arms, the duo was Metro's muscle up the middle. Together they are a DNA masterpiece. "You got to be strong up the middle," Metro head coach Mike Dunlap said. " . . . . The point guard and Mutombo played through the middle for us, mentally and physically. Mentally, both of them are extremely smart people. As far as physically, both were unique. They were genetic freaks in one form or another. Clayton had to be the quickest

player in the country and I know he is, from one spot to another. "And what Patrick brought was long arms, so you couldn't block his shot. The best have tri.ed at this level and they couldn't consistently block his shot, because of that seven-foot (wingspan). He is the best 15-foot jump shooter in the country and that goes for Division I, TI, Ill and NAIA." The 190-pound Mutombo, elongated over a 6foot-5 frame, was recently named a first-team All American by the Basketball Times. Last year he was a second-team All American. Graduating in political science, Mutombo set a new Roadrunners' single-season record by making 267 field goals, breaking his old mark of250 from last year. He also improved his scoring average to 19.3 points from 16.6 and was Metro's leading scorer in 18 of the 33 games he played. Smith, a business major, cuts a shorter shadow. Standing at 5-foot-5, the conductor of the Roadrunners offense and defense led the nation in assists and assist-to-turnover average with a 4.49 ratio (8.3 assists to every 1.8 turnover). He also finished second on Metro's career steals list with 25 l. "1 would stack their achievements up against Duke (University)," Dunlap began. "I would stack their achievements up against Kentucky Wesleyan. I would stack their achievements against any ofthe programs in the country in terms of what they achieved. They've maxed out their potential in terms of national championships, in terms of conference championships, in terms of all-conference players, in terms of being all-region, in terms of being MVP of the national championship game. We've had all of that in those two guys. It must feel good to be them to have maxed out their potential." Both spent time on the bench, then finding that happy ending with success on and off the floor, and, not to mention, two national championships, which they will hold onto for the rest of their lives. Both came to Metro as raw, sawed off freshman, thinking they knew it all, quickly realizing they knew little. They learned fast, though, progressing forward through the forest offears, finding

their self-worth and what th.ey wanted to do with that elusive dove called education, which can only be grasped just right. "Graduation is a great moment in their lives," Dunlap said. " ... .I will certainly miss them, no question about it. But I'll miss the little idiosyncrasy of each guy, and the look here or when they are grab assing around or when they are making fun of me. That's the part I miss. "It's time for these guys to go to better leadership, more challenging circumstances, in terms of interpersonal relationships and building their own families. They're ready." For the coaches it's different. They'll be here next year. College basketball players, though, have a limited lifespan. They were freshman, it seems, just seconds ago. By May they' ll be alumni. "After it's over, everything goes too fast," Smith said. "Whenever you have fun with something and as soon as it is over, it seems like it went by in a second." As oflast week, Smith was unsure if he want-

and playing in Europe and admitted as much, but right now he is concentrating on finishing school. Four former Metro stars have played or are playing overseas currently. DeMarcos Anzures (a Roadrunner from 1997-00), Metro's leading point scorer, spent some time playing on the other side of the Atlantic. Lee Barlow ( 1998-00) is playing in New Zealand for the Wellington Saints. John Bynum (1999-00) is playing in Grevenbroich, Germany. Kane Oakley (1998-01) is playing in the Australia National Basketball League for the Cairns Taipans. Last month, Lee Bethea (2000-02), a starter on last year's national title team, signed to play with the Harlem Globetrotters National team. " I came here with a purpose," Mutombo said. " I came here on a mission. I wanted to realize some things. I didn't necessarily understand the process required for me to reach my goals and thatis where Coach Dunlap and the whole Metro State village came into play... At times it has been very painful, but also at times it was a great and full of joy, cheers, laughter and all that good stuff."

'They were genetic freaks ln one form or another.' - Mike Dunlap, Men's Basketball Head Coach ed to pursue a pro basketball career or get into the business field right after graduation. One thing is for certain: it'll be hard to picture Smith without a circular orange piece of leather in his hands. Hoops has hoisted him so high. "Basketball is everything to me. It was one of the biggest parts of my life, if not the biggest," Smith said. "It did so much for me in my life. It is the main reason why I'm going to have my degree in May. It's allowed me to travel around the country. It's allowed me to meet thousands and thousands of great people. It's just opened so many doors for me." Mutombo has a great chance of going overseas

Smith echoes the same feelings, saying he "wouldn't change the way anything went. .... I just take everything for what it is. I had a great career and I have nothing to be ashamed about." All year long the two seniors praised each other's with a "shout out" here and there. Whatever happens after graduation, their names will forever be etched on two national titles and on a plaque in the men's basketball locker room,., . which has the name of ever Roadrunner player that graduated from Metro under Dunlap's tenure. That degree alone deserves a "shout out," but such things speak volwnes without a megaphone, giving confidence and silencing erases doubts.

PAGE 24 - THE METROPOLITAN - APRIL 10, 2003

Power sources: Burney, Edwards by Donald Smith The Metropolitan Junior James Edwards and Senior John Burney have become two players this season that have moved Metro's baseball team in the tight direction. Even though the two players care more about this team then they do themselves, their i'ldividual numbers have made them stand out as - the the Roadrunners contend for a spot in the West Regional Tournament. "Since we got our tough part of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference over \vi th, we need to pretty much [defeat] the rest of the RMAC [teams], so we can make the RMAC tournament and hopefully we can go on from there." Edwards said. "l think we all have to start clicking together .._ we haven't quite been able to put all the pitching, defense and offense together in the same game, and that's where I'm gonna have to come in at as a senior," Burney added. "We [as a team need to] keep working, so that in the next few weeks we can really finish the season with all three phases of the game working for us. "I truly feel that 1am a key contributor of this team and if I start playing well I think the other - guys will get a lot of confidence in that...1 think we'rt: still in a good position to do (get into the regional) at the end of the year." As Metro's starting first baseman, Edwards has been nothing short of scorching this season. He has put up numbers big enough to place fear in

opposing pitchers and also leads the team in homeruns (eight), batting average (.442) and slugging percentage (.731). He has improved throughout the season and has strengthened the line-up, which all ready had teammate and All-Region standout Brian Edwards and Burney hitting well before his arrival this season.

When asked why he is hitting so well, James Edwards replied: "I have no idea .. .. I've just hit fairly well, been doing what I've been told to do in practice and tried taking that into the games, thinking there's no pitcher that can get me out." Bumey's leadership as a whole, he said, starts with keep ing the team involved and on the same

page. He has won hardware both on and off the field. Earlier this year, he won an award for his work in the classroom and having an outstanding GPA. Last season he took home postseason conference honors for his work on the field. Burney has made his bat play heavy metal hits. He's hitting .317 with 26 RBis and four homers. He hit .416 in the first seven games. Although his numbers seem average now, don't be fooled. Just like April, Burney's bat has some spring in it during this month. Last season Burney was able to go from a small batting slump in March, a month in which his team only was able to wi n 5- 15 games, to swinging for the fences and earning himself a spot on the All-RMAC Tournament team in May. Burney has continued to work on his game and is starting to improve this season. " I feel I have been making strides this year." Burney said. " I have yet to really click and feel like I've found my rhythm at the plate in the game as a whole. But over the course of all the years that I've played I've seen myself as a slow starter and I see myself starting to make some adjustments the last few weeks that will lead to a very positive and very successful second half of the season." Both Burney and Edwards have been able to make things happen for the Roadrunners this season and if they are able to continue this type of play, the Roadrunners can find themselves on the RMAC throne again as well as getting into the regional tournament and perhaps beyond.
