Thetle@ftan For a college student,waking up before6 a.m. on a Friday,in the summer, is about as natural as AstroTuri Surprisingly,therewere some students who braved the morning sun to sing karaokeon the WB2 morningnews last Friday.
KoloradoKaraokeis a segment hosted by TV reporter and Metro alumnus Dan Daru. Daru and his crew go to locations all over Colorado and persuadepeople to sing karaoke on live TV for food and prizes. Contestantsarejudged by Tom Green,Natalie Tysdal and Ar:gie Austin..The finalists from each location competefor a trip to Las
Vegas. Auraria campus was chosen because"Dan is an alum, so he wantedto show off the collegethat he went to," said Cathy Lucas, Director of Communications for Metro. Studentswho were int€rested in participatinggatheredby the flagpole in the center of campus where they were greetedby Daru
and his crew.Despitebeingup at an ungodly hour, the studentswaiting their turn to sing couldn't help but and laugh at Daru's impersonations generalhilariousness. Daru admits that he was not the most seriousstudentin class. "I was a goof-ball then, I'm a goof-ball now," Daru said.

CCCS will be raiqing their tuition and hop-esthat the increasewill aid in their rising enrollment. "The onething aboutcommunitycoll€les is that we haveno admissionstandards, which opensthe doors to anyonewanting a higher educationor firtherjob training.The increases in tuition will actually help us get more students in here and provide more financial aid," saidBarsch. Barcshsaidthat nearly70 percentofcommunity college studentsreceive some sort of financial aid, and when statebudgetcuts are
made,financialaid suffers. All collegesin the ColoradoCommunity CollegeSystemwill increasetuition by 5 percent this fall. For the CommunityCollegeof Denver, this means tuition will increaseby about$40 per semester. UCD will be increasingtuition by 9.4 percent in the fall. ' An exact dollar amount could not be decidedbecauseof their varying tuition rates for differentdegreeprograms. Despite the current tuition increase,all collegeshavean increaseeveryyear. This year, due an to economicdownfall, the increaseshave been bigger than in the past. Many said Metro is lucky to have receivedthe small cut.
Metro's faculty join union against the college's boardof trustees Twenty percent of Metro's full-time tenured faculty have joined a union becauseof changesmadeto Metro's board oftrustee manualconcemingtenuredfaculty. Tenured faculty are professo'rswho have taught for a certainnlrnber of years. To be signedon as a tenuredfaculty, one hasto havetaughtat Metro for five years. After five yearsthey can sign a longtenn contract with the college. The con. tract is what som€.call a long term relationshipwith the college. The changesmade to Metro1 trustee manualwere over the college's reductionin-force policy. The old policy protected tenured-trackfaculty. The new one makes tenuredfaculty jobs eligible for termination. The new policy makesit possiblefor the college'spresidentto lay of tenured, highly paid faculty. It used to be that the lower paid new faculty, who had only taught at the college for a couple years, would be the first to be laid off Concems from tenured faculty were put before the board.When the boarddisregardedlhose concems,tenured faculty decided to form a union under the American Federationof Teachers,the largestcollegefaculty union in the nation. PresidentJoanFoster Faculty,Senate 'said shedoesnot understandwhy the college would changepolicies if the board was nof planningon utilizing the changes. She also said the reason for tenured faculty is so teacherscan form curriculum and departrnentsunder a stable education system.With the new policy, quality of educationis at risk.
