United States who meets the board's criteria for president of Metro is the number one problem," Schmidt said.

Bruce Benson, chair ol Metro's Board of Trustees, said it's a natiorral trend and has been a tradition in Colorado to announce only one finalist for president of a college.

He noted that both Judith Albino and Betsy Hoffinan were announcecl as solo finalists before being appointed as presidents at the University of Colorado.

Schmidt said he doesn't believe it's a national or Colorado trend, saying that rvhen the most recent presidentsat Colorado State Universit,v,Adams State and Fort Lewis were announced as finalists, at least three other finalists lvere also named.

Benson said the board also decided to choose Iordan as a solo finalist because it didn't want to choose three finalists, for example, and have trvo have to go back home as losers, and that they likely wouldn't come in the first place.

"The quality of people that we looked at," he said, "if we invited all of those people to come, they would not have come." fordan, who is president of Eastern

Four students,including Ott, Safford,and Alan FranHin. SGA Election Commission President,showedup at the morning meeting in order to push their concernsabout ]ordan and the processof the Board.

Following the student interview session with Jordan on March 14, Hay announced that he would be holding a 30-minute feedback period in the Tivoli Multicultural Lounge immediately after the session,but no one showedup.

According to Mark Gallaghea director of Parking and Tiansportation Serrices,the five-story building will be nearing its completion at the end of )uly, as originally planned.

The 800-spot garage construction project is also staying close to budget, Gallaghersaid.

When the garageopens next fall, the price will be a flat $5 per day rate. The amount will go up to $10 per car during specialeventsheld at the PepsiCenter.

Gallagher said that at the beginning of each semester,severalthousand cars must park at the Pepsi Center, due to a lack of parking on campus, and this new parking garagewill allow students to park on campus rather than going acrossthe street.

Panel:Professor freedom saystenuredoesn'tmeanacademic forn BtlELm page3 Defined as a non-profit educational organization, what it actually doesis blacklist liberal academicswho make anti-American comments,she said.

'The ongoing political situation is a threat to academic freedomi Eckert said, referring to the ACIA, which consideredcollegeand university professo$ "the weak link in America's responseto the attack (9/1 I ).'

Academic freedom, however, could be perceived simply as defending the authority of those who have demonstrated knowledge, said Dolph Grundman, a history professor at Metro.

'Your academic freedom lays in the expertise on your discipline," he said. "It could be restricted by your ability to try to teach the truth."

Gabriel Kaplan, an assistantprofessor at the UCD Graduate School of Public Affairs, said that within an employment contract

employees don't have unlimited freedom, mosdy becausecollegesand universities are embeddedin the market place, He adheredto the conditions listed in the Statementfrom 1940 as when orofessorsare obligated to differentiate themselvesftom the educational institution they work for.

"Outside the classroom, professors do have the obligation to stress they do not spealcfor the institution, but as private citizens,"Kaplan said.

Often, there is an impression among the public and academia that tenure serves to protect radical or controversial statements by professors.

"Tenure is an award, a privilege to be earnedby faculty,"said Marc Rabinoff, Metro professor of human performance and sport.

"Tenureis not a job for life, it couldbe terminated by the institution for various reasons."

Many.years of evaluation by dozens of

people are necessaryto ensurethe qualification of the candidate for tenured position, he saidBut under the ongoing political situation, academic freedom is something all teachers should be concerned with, especially those who are doing research on controversial issues,Eckert said.

The core issuesof any discipline should be addressedin the classroom without the fear that students or outsiders are monitoring the teacher'swork, she said.

"If we censor ourselves,we fail our students and ourselvesj' Shelby said.

"Controversial topics are uacdy the ones to talk about becauseour studentsare not going to hear them anywhereelse."

For pedagogical reasons, professors should make provocative statements,and well-determined discussion would help students form their own views, Shelbysaid.

Metro's Board of Trusteeswill listen to members of the college community provide comments about Stephen Jordan, the solo finalist for the position of Metro president, in its regularlyscheduledmonthly meeting April 6.

The board had initially planned to hear from eachtrusteerepresentingthe college's constituency groups during a meeting the moming of March 28.

Board chair Bruce Bensonsaid he canceled the meeting becauseit wouldn't be a good useof time to hold a special meeting so close to the boardt monthly meeting.

Students can also meet with the board before the April 6 meeting, around 8 a.m. in Tivoli Room 329. @Metro

PROCESS: Somestudents,facultysayprocess FEES:Needfor fundsquestioned wastoo rushed,interviews weretoo structured grant of the same pee3 becauseof the loss of a fiornFEESion fiornPRoCESISon ooner WashingtonUniversity in Cheney Wash.,was named asthe solo finalist for Metro's post of permanent president March 1I in a special board of trustees meeting, where it was also announcedthat he would be visiting campus March 15 for interviews with the college community.

Jordan was chosen out of about l0 candidates recomrnended to the board by the presidential searchadvisory committee, who receivedabout 200 applications.

The presidential search process started when former president Sheila Kaplan resigped in June 2003. Since then, Ray Kieft-who applied for the post last August and withdrew his bid in February-has servedas interirn president.

Will Safford, attorney general of Metro's Student Government Assembly,said he was also upset with the process,especiallyhow quicHy Iordan was chosen as the finalist.

Safford said he wastold Jordan'sname wasnt formally given to the presidential search advisory committee until March 10.

"I would like to seethe board of trustees take us through a process that is ethically sound," said Safford,who had been an ardent supporter of Kieft for the permanentposition.

John Buechner,chair of the committee and presidentemeritus of CU, said March 14 that Jordan formally applied the week of the announcement. He also said that he and )ordan, who used to work together,talked on the phone and Buechnersaid Jordanwas refas is standardwhen seleaing erence-checked,

candidates.

Safford also criticized the interviews held March 15 as being very structured and controlled.

Schmi& said he and other faculty members felt embarrassedby the presenceof a trustee at each session, and that was onâ‚Ź reason attendancewas low. That lordan was the only candidate announced could have sent a messageto people that everything was a done deal, deterring people from showing up, he said.

Metro junior Alan Franklin, who attended the interview sessionfor students,said he felt attendancewas low becauseof the brief time betr,veenwhen fordan was announced as finalist and when he came to campus.

He also said each interview sessionwas only 50 minutes, giving members of the college community a brief window to ask Jordan questions.

"I thought it was important enough to ditch a class,but I can't expect that of every student who would have been interested," Franklin said.

Benson said one of the reasons Iordan was brought to campus the week following the announcement was becausefaculty and students would have been upset if the interviews were held the following week, during Spring Break. If it were done the following week, the board might again be criticized for taking too long, a criticism that hasbeen lodged at the board in the past about the searchprocess.

"Whatever process we're going to use, somepeoplearent going to like it," he said.

"Thatl alwayshow it goes."

Metro's attomey Lee Combs stated in an e-mail to the SAB that the board does not haveto open its meetingto the public, based on his interpretation of the Colorado law, claiming that since the board is an administrative, advisory board, and not a governing one.

The Metropolitan assertsthat becausâ‚Źt}re SAB discussespublic money, and becauseit is an advisory board that makes decisions, even if they are recommendations, that the board is not orempt from Coloradot Open Meetings laws.

The SAB did conduct its voting in public becausethe bylaws do not state that voting must be done behind closeddoors.

According to Ott, and confirmed by Glotzbach, during deliberations, the services that received the most debate were Student Activities, the Auraria Child Care Center, Student Media (formerly Student Publications) and the Center for the Visual Arts, and all had to be tabled at leastonce.

Becausethe SAB only had $73,000 in increasesto give, they debatedwhether they could give the $67,218 increase Student Activities had requested,and some members were also not happy with the amount of the feesthat go towards administrators' salaries.

The Child Care Center was a point of contention because the department had askedfor a $30,000increasefrom this year

amount. However, again members said that may not leave enough money for other departments.

The amount for StudentMedia wasquestioned after somemembers,accordingto Ott, said they either did not think the department reached enough students, questioned why administrators were needed and that they did not like the quality of the newspaper.

Throughout, members questioned how many students a department served, how rnuch administrators were paid out of that student fee money and what was the quality of the service.

There was debateabout CVA and whether it reachedenough studens and if students evenknew it existed.

Ott said the nature of the discussions bothered her becauseshe said they're predominandy basedon pmplet feelings about a particular program and not about any concrete factual data.

"The processneedsto be changed.More information needs to be gathered,"she said.

"I'd love to seesome sort of uniform process to look at how many students were served and how many students know the service exists."

The SABt next meeting is slated for 3: 30 p.m. April 19 in Tivoli Room 329 and arry possible changesto the SAB bylaws will be discussed.

Another kid,more guils,andviolence still rulesinourschools It happened again.

Another kid, more 8uns, more death. We have learned nothi.tg from Columbine.

Six years ago this Tim Dunbar April, in one Columnist afternoon, the word "Columbine" went from simply being the name of a high school in southwest Denver to a codeword known worldwide for a high school massacre.Last week, on the RedLakeIndian Reservation in northwestern Minnesota, another Columbine took place.

JeffWeise,a 16-year-old,who for severalmonthshad been tutored at home because of probIems he was having in school, watched a movie on TV, ate a turkey sandwich and headedoffto his grandfather'shousea short distanceaway.

Oncethere,Weise shot his grandfather, a longtime Red kke police officer, with a .22-caliberhandgun.

He then put on a bulletproof vest,a gun belt, and took his grandfather'sl2-gauge shotgun and .40-caliber handgun and drove to the high school in a marked policevehicle.

Weise fired severalshots into the air outside the school, then headed inside where he eventually killed a security guard, an English teacher and five of his fellow classmates,wounding seven others before eventually turning the gun on himself.

On Saturday,in a scenereminiscentof April, 1999 here in Colorado, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty proclaimed this past Monday the Red Lake Day of Remembrance,a day in which Minnesota flagson stateproperty and at schoolswere flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset and Minnesoans were encouraged to obsewe a moment of silence and reflection at 2 p.m. that &y.

Incidentally, Pawlentyand I graduated from the same Minnesota high school back in 1979. The then-future governor was a jock; I was involved in a slew of non-sports activities, many of which were probably considered geek)' by the letterman jacket-wearing crowd. Yet I remem-

ber Tim, and most of his friends,asbeing amicable,if not downright friendly to thosemost would considerbeingof lesser status.I didn t grow up in Mayberry, but it wasn't hell, either; back then, no one got killed.

In the wake of Columbine, more people have given more attention to the issuesof teenageviolence,accessto guns, and violence in the media and on the Internet.

Has this added attention done any good?By all accounts,no.

Donald R. Galio,who in 2001 edited "On the fringe,"a collectionof short storiesdealingwith teenagers who aredifferent from their more popularpeers,saysin his introduction to the book that, "since Columbine, life for oddball students in middle schoolsand high schoolsacross the nation hasbecomeworse,not better."

Gallo says that "few people have looked at the feelingsof alienation,frustration, hurt and anger felt by teenagestudents whom the rest of the school community calls weirilos, geek, nerds, freak, faggots and worse."

Jeff Weise was not evil.

For that matter neither were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

What Weisewas, according to David Hanners of the St. Paul Pioneer Press,was a "lost youth awash in a remote Indian reservation where despondencyand violence are epidemic. He was taking large doses of the anti-depressantProzac .., he was a troubled youth pleading for help and understanding," who wrote "Would you please try to be a little bit more considerate?"on a messageboard in response to sommne who had ridiculed him for trying to commit suicide.

He was a boy, who, on that samemessage board, claimed he was trying "rsal hard" to turn his life around, but that attitudes of people like the one he was replying to are what "set me back' At this point, it's too easy to blame the jocks" tlle Internet, the media and the schools for this epidemic of violence; besides,it's useless, What we need to do, instead, is listen carefully to those small voices asking for help. Becauseif we don't start to hear that, and respond accordingly,wdll keep hearing this: It happenedagain.Another kid, more guns, more death.We have learned nothing from Columbine.

" What we needto do, instead,is start

Fn,truREs Metroprofessorexploresroots,futureof MiddleEaststruggle

by MayaSalam TheMetrooolitan Since Sept. ll, 2001, Americans have become increasinglyconsciousof the turmoil occurring in the Middle East.And while some conflicts are new, like the war in Iraq, others have ensued for over a century. The fight over land betweenIsraelisand Palestinianshasbeen raging sincethe late l9e century and the conflict is worse than evertoday.

"It has entered the 21't century with greater violence," said Dr. Robert Hazan, Metro political science chair and professor,at a discussionabout Israeli/Palestinianrelations and the Middle Eastpeaceprocesson Marctr 17. If there was a Palestinianstate,there would not be an Israeli/ Palestinian struggle,Hazan said.

Dr. Hazan, who has a Ph.D. in international relations from the University of Denver, talked to a group of approximatd 50 Auraria campus students at the Tivoli Center about why this area of the Middle East has been locked in a continuous conflict for so long, and why it is such a difficult conflict to resolve.

Israelis are having a very complicated time withdrawing from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, said Hazan, With Israel occupying this land it would be a huge undertaking to relocateall thesecitizens back into Israel itself, he said.

The West Bank, a territory west of the Jordan River,was formerly part of Palestineand has been occupied by hrael since the Six-Day War of 1967. Since mid- 1994,limited Palestinianself-rule hasexistedin portions of the WestBank, Israel regardsthis areaasJewishterritory. The boundary line between Israel proper and the West Bank was determined by the cease-fretalks in 1949and is often called the'Green Linel The Gaza Strip, which is on the Mediterranean Sea adjoiningEgypt and Israel,is in what wasformerly southwest Palestine.

The GazaStrip hasthe highestdensityof povertyon earth, Hazansaid.The GazaStrip is a denselypopulated region inhabitedprimarily by Palestinianrefugees; the majority live in large,overcrowdedrefugeecamps.

'Just look at the standardsof living," Hazan said. "It's very bad."Poverry mental health,despairand destitutionare devastatingproblernshere,he said,

During the 1970s and 1980s the Israeli government appropriatedland to build a number of Israeli settlements in order to strengthen their presencein the Gaza Strip.

Resâ&#x201A;Źntment stemming from Israeli occupation, a weak economy and a large refugeepopulation made the region a center for Palestinianactivism and political unrest. Riots, demonstrations, and violent confrontations between Israelis and Palestinians developed into a Palestinian uprising, or 'intifada,' which began in the Gaza Strip in 1987 and spread

quickly to the WestBank.

'You can't expect people to live for 38 years under occupation without resorting to violencel Hazan said. It can he said. only end in very violent backlashes, It is the people'ssufferingand strugglein theseoccupied territories that Hazan wanted to emphasize.He showed the audiencea documentarycalled,"CourageAlong the Divide," filmed in Israelin 1987byVictor Schonfeld.The documentary includedinterviewswith all kinds of Israelisand Palestinians, alongwith streetscenesand demonstrations.lt presentedthe problems of the occupied territories, Palestinianstatehood, in Israeland terrorism. treatmentof Palestinians

In the film, a Palestinianwoman named Mary who lives in an occupiedterritorF asks,"Who is responsiblefor us?"Why 'I should we let them affectour liveslike this, shesaid. don't want my people looked at and treated like monkeys."

The documentary showed how for young Palestinians, Israeli rule is all they know, and that without identification cards,it is asthough they do not evenexist.

The situation has only gotten worse in the 18 yearssince the film was made, Hazan said. The kids in film, in the West Bank, are possiblytoday'ssuicide bombers,he said."If there is no Palestinianstatein the near future, then the youth aregoing to reiect the occupation forcefully."

A member of the audience asked Hazan if it would be possible for Israelis living in the West Bank and GazaStrip to stay and live in their communities even if the land is returned to the Palestinians.Hazan said that it is a solution that could never actually work. *I don't think ultra-nationalist Israelis settled in Palestine would carry a Palestinianpassport,' he said,'The degree of hatred is so intense. The emotional, almost irrational, attachmentto the land is their ideology.They think that historF hascheatedthem becausethat should havebeenthe land of the Zionists," he said. It is truly a scramble for territorial control, not for natural resources,and the social, economic and legal situation only makes matters worse.About 3,500 Israelis and 1,500 Palestinians have died between September 2fi)4 and February 2005, and still neither side is sure who is winning, Hazan said.

But there is hope for a futwe change now that Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, has died. The new leadership among Palestinianswill try to make a move towards peace,Hazan said. He also said that it is important for the United Statesto engageitself in the peaceprocess,but that the war in lraq is not settingthe right principles.More violencein thesealreadyintenseareasis not needed,he said.What is neededis progressin the direction of forming a separatePalestinianstate.

"The quickerIsraelwithdraws,the betterthe chancefor peace,"Hazansaid.

Personifications of Evil:'Downfall'examineslastminutesof Reich Film Review by HeatherWahle The l/etroDolitan

He didn t care for cigarettesmoke,he preferred eating vegetarianmeals,and he enjoyedtaking careof his loyal dog Blondi. Beforeyou find yourself relating too closelyto the main characterin the 6lm "Downfall," brace yourself.These are descriptions of Adolf Hitler.

Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, "Downfall" shows Hitler and his entourage'slast days in their bunker in Berlin. The frlm contrasts the brutality of the war with the dysfunctional domesticsituationsthat occurredwithin Hitler's inner circle.

The wartime horror interlayswith the relationshipsbetween Hider'sentouragein a compellingmanner.

"Downfall" is the first German attempt to tackle a biographyof Hitlert life since 1956's"Der LetzteAkt" (The Last Act), directed by G.W Pabst,"The Last Act" was told from the point of view of one Germansolider."Downfall" is ground breaking in the sensethat it is the first film to tacklethe multi-dimensionalcharacterof Hitler in a straightforwardand humanisticapproach.

The filrrls screenplay, written by Bemd Eichinger,is based on historian JoachimFest'sbook "Der Untergang,"aka "The Downfall: tnside Hitlert Bunker,The Last Daysof the Third Reich."The book givesinsight on Hitler and why peoplewere so entrancedby their Ftihrerthat they remainedloyal until the fiery end.

Eichingeralsoreadthe memoirsofTraudl Junge,"Until the Final Hour: Hitlerb LastSecretary."

The reflectionsof Hitler's final personalsecretarygive an additionalemotional element to the historicalaccount.

Junge,playedby AlexandraMaria Lara,gavean important

perspectiveto the film. "Downfall" opens with |unge and a small group of young women being led through the woods in the middle of the night. Germansoldiersare leadingthese women to the remoteofficeof Hitler. so that he mav choosea new secretary.

When chosen,the 22-year-oldwoman is gratefulto havea job in wartime. Sheis nervousand excitedto start her career asone of the era'smost high-poweredassistants.

The F0hreris calm and patient with Jungeand shequickly assumesher role asa faithful employeeand confidant. funge becomes so loyal, in fact that she is one of the very last to leaveHitler's side. She is told by many people as the war is coming to a closethat she should escape.Out of selflessness and dedicationto her leader,combinedwith fear and apprehensionofthe outsideworld, sherefuses.

Only after she watchesthe Fthrer's lifelessbody being carried up to a flame-engulfedgrave does she realizethat remainingin the bunker would be a prolongedsort of suicide.

After the film ends, "Downfall" takes a documentary approachby following up on the main characters.The real lungeis interviewedbriefly and explainshow shewasgenerally naive to the massiveamount of deathsthat occurred under Hitler. Shedid not cite this as an excusefor her collaboration with the Nazi party. To the contrary, she statesthat being youngdoesnot excusebeinguninformed.Youcan alwaysfind out, shesays.

Hitlei went through many stagesof conflicting emotions, which are exploredin "Downfall." He went through bouts of raging paranoia,when he was convincedthat the world was

againsthim, that evenhis most loyal followers were dangerous and plotting againsthim.

Hitler's moments of grandeur are also on display, frightening moments when he felt he could take over the world with his political and military strength. His misguided confidence is also explored. By the time he regained his motivation to lead,it was impossibleto win. When he ended his life, Hitler was in an eerily calm state, which alludes to his delusionalstate.Hider's stagesof dementiaare experdy explored.

Bruno Ganztakeson the role of Hitler after playing diverse rolessuchasstarring in last year's"Manchurian Candidate."He depictsHitler's characterstriving to maintain balancebetween the ruler'shistoricalidentity and his role asa person.

It is quite a challengeto maintain this balance. His monstroussidemust be constantlypresent,but the film must simultaneouslyrepresenthis humanistic side through the explorationof his emotions.

Ganzis soberenoughto takeon the role and hasimmersed himself in intensecharacterstudy to closelyimitate Hitler's mannerismsand speech.Ganz strugglesto work'with the Eichinger'sscreenplay, artfully showingthe prychologicalside of Hitler's character.Ganz battleswith inner conflict while of his simultaneouslydisplaying the hideous consequences dangerousleadership.

We want to understandthe historical ramifications of Hitler's rule, but are we ready to seehim as a real person?

German National Socialism is easier to understand with historicaldistance.

Hey,hoWd hedothat?

A writer peeksinto

theworld of hip-hop production-from the

othersideof the mic

by Justin Rennolds The lvetroDolitan A scientist is hard at work in the basement of his suburban home. He is creating a masterpiece using the most expensiveand complex technology availablein his profession.

His name is fay Dee Madril and he is Colorado'spremiermusicproducerand president of Xplosive Music. He is quiet and calm but his music is loud and in your face, Lastweek I waslucky enough to sit in on a recording sessionwith Madril. I went into the experience having never touched an instrument in my life or being able to read musical notes. I left with a vast knowledge of hip-hop production, I observed the creative process of making a hip-hop beat from scratch,sequencing it and mastering it using $50,000worth of equipment. Throughout the process,Madril is focusedsolely on his work It is eerie asthe studio is silent,no one speaksfor ten minutes and the only noisesare the sounds generated by the hi-tech keyboard.

Madril anxiously sits down in front of his piano. He quickly turns a dial on the keyboard searchingfor the perfect sound to incorporate into his beat.He choosesa chiming and highpitched'ting." He masterfirlly playsthe chords creating a sound that is then made into a loop.

This processcontinues for the next rcn minutes as Madril shuffles through the hundreds of sounds in his keyboard recording them into a three minute long piece of music.

The piano is the most vital pieceof equipment in the studio. On it, the sounds, sampling and rhythm for the track are built.

Madril then standsup, takesa breath and moves to sit down in front of his computer.

He carefully downloads the recorded loop onto professionalquality music software.

Now he enters the second phase of the pmcess:transferring and mastering the beat.

He methodically uses the program to separatethe various elementsof the loop. The excitement builds as he begins to experiment with the recorded sounds.He messesaround with the tempo and adds more bass to the track.

The beat contains a snare, a thumping bass-line,a trumpet and a piano. Staring intently at his computer, he edits the tone and pitch of eachof the separatedinstrumentals.

He is happy and takes pride in his work.

Madril breathesa sigh of relief-he is almost finished.

His fingers dance acrossthe keyboard as 'bang," he labels and programs each "slami and "choom."He doesthis so that the beat is balancedand each noise is clear and crisp to

the listener. He can finally meld each noise onto a CD-R. Madril's hip-hop beats incorporate hard together creating a firll-fledged beat.

Once tJrebeat is made,Ma&il adds vocals West Coast basslines with simple sounds like on top of the instrumentation.It is obvious the "ting' of a triangle or the "twang" of an electric guitar.

"I would saymy stuff is a litde off the wall ... I throw a lot of different samplesin, litde things you dont catch until you hear the song a couple times," saysMadril as he hands me his finishedbeat.

I'm impressed;the man hascreateda masterpiece in minutes. The finished product is a nearly four-minute long head-nodding track.

It is distinct and original in content. His beas range from real hardcore to R & B. It was an amazing experienceand one I'll forever cherish. Sitting in Madril's lab also changed my outlook on the music industry and those who try their hardest to reap t}le financial rewardsit can offer.

You can sit in a studio all day creating music that no one will ever hear. You must this is his favorite part of the process.

Madril is a young man with a huge hear! the track is equally distinct and clearly heard by the listeners.Madril nods his head in unmatched motivation, and unbreakable approval as he downloads the finished beat spirit.

Imagine the glory of scoring the winning goal in sudden death or maling the kill that givesthe team the winning point or launching the buzzer beater from half-court to take the championship.

Then the flip side,doing just the opposite.

Regardless, the experienceof hearing your name,seeingit in print and being commended for your performance in last night's game is, for some,the only reasonfor playing a sport.

ThkeRyon Nickle, Metro senior with four yearson the men's basketballteam.

All four of those years included regional championships, a Sweet Sixteen and Final Four appearanceand a national championshipin 2002,as well as numerous notable accomplishments the players, the team and the head coachhaveattained.

"He came to Metro looking for an opportunity to be a part of an organization and play basketball,"said Mike Dunlap, men's basketballhead coach."It was kind of one of those dealswhere he askedfor a little and gave it his all, and from day one, has done that."

NicHe is a Colorado native and aftended Heritage High School in Littleton, where he took part in regular varsity sports, including basketball.

After graduating, Nickle went on to The Univers$ of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

He completed one year there, but realized IINC was not for him.

Metro then came in his sights and he registeredfor classesand begananew.

Nickle walked through the men's bask*ball office door and said he wanted to play for the team, Dunlap said.

Nickle tried out, Dun]ap convened with his high school coach about his time on the team there, and then Dunlap came back to Nickle with a to-do list before he would be consideredfor the team.

Nickle was quick to respond and do what was needed for Dunlap to say NicHe was a "viable candidateJ for a walk on.

'When you're looking at a walk-on, you re not looking for a guy that can help your team score points or isrlt going to be destructive becausehe's not going to get the playing time

Rvon Nickle strrted as a walk-on for the Men's basketball program four years ago He graduates this May with a dege in Business Management.

Brad Nicfle (right) talks about his role as a parent while Ryon NicHe (eft) and his mother Sherry Nickle (centcr) listen at their home ia Litdeton, Colo.

The NicHds hone hrs been a'home awey ftom home'for nany of the men's bas&etballtâ&#x201A;Źam membcn throrryhout Ryon's four years on tle team.

that he wants," Dunlap said. Often, that is the casewith walk-ons: having delusions of getting playing tirne or starting and having the attitude "that you need me."

Dunlap said when he first met Nickle they talked for over an hour and immediately he could tell, "there was something between the two of us,, As circumstance would have it, the day Nickle walked on-Sept. 7, 2001-just happened to be the day on whidr he was born.

But dl of his ambition, skill and connection with the coachwere no guarantee he would start for the team or evenget playing time.

In fact, out of a total of 136 gamesover the past four years,Niclde'playedin 56 of them.

Think about it, For four years-especially before and during the season-having to wake up at 4:30 a.m., leaveyour dorm and get to the gym to practice from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., attend your daily classesand afterward go to a required study hall for an hour and a half.

Then, after that, back to the gym for a half-hour weight-lifting session and it all ending where it began,with a secondpractice session.

Then backto the dorms.

This is the teamt strict practice and playing regimen.

One of the teammemberssaidpreviously, "We wake up when it's dark and leaveMetro when itt dark."

Dunlap said the others on the team understood how much work Nickle put in and realized they better pick it up because"that guy over there is not getting the playing time tlat hewants. He'sone of thoseglueguysthat makesyour team better."

Dunlap said there are two situations to take into consideration in regard to Nickle and his position on the team.

First, he said the regimen: with the early morning practices it servesas a 6lter for

beingon the teamand keepingthat spot.'For those that go through the processand make it through it and to do that for four years without a carrot (a scholarship) saysvolumes about Ryon right there!" Dunlap saidSecond,"he's only the secondguy that has everdone that within my eight yearsi Dunlap said.

Nickle was named co-captain for the 2Cf'3-2004seasonand then the sole captain for tlis season.

'I would say becausehe perseveredfor four years,that was another way ofvalidating him other than playing time," Dunlap said of Nickle becoming a leader of the team.

"Other players say leaders can only be guys who get the kill. We re-referencedthat definition of what a true leader is, because really,what we said to our entire team, is this guy will be our leader regardlessof playing time, becauseI never felt that that was top criterion in order to be a great leader,"Dunlap said.

'What I really got out of this is the experience.To be mentored and educatedby coach Dunlap and his assistantsand saff and associateslNickle said.

He also experiencedthe various cultures of his teammateswho are from all over the world.

That was reward enough for being on the team, "not to mention the opportunity to be the best in the nationi he said.

Ryon is the first-bom son of Brad and Sherry Nickle.

They havetwo more sons.

The Nickles can be dubbed the team parentsbecausenot only have they attended every single game since Ryon walked on, but their housein Littleton is a home awayfrom home for manyof the playerson the team.

'I don't think we really tried to have any specialrelationships.We're concernedabout giving Ryona placeto go aswell ashis friends.

We just 6ll gapsthat we think might be there.

Our houseis open to them," Brad Nickle said.

Sherry Nickle said she understan& the guys get homesick.'They come to our house and they're comfortable herej' shesaid.

Ryon Nickle washurnble talking about his parents,but said they havebeen very generous in offering up their home for the team.

Sherry Nickle said the playerson the team 'It's are all nice, pleasantand giving in retum' something we're going to miss,"shesaid' "One of the greatest things that we've exPerienced with traveling with the team, people tell us how great ... the kids are. They would much rather have them in town than any other team," Brad NicHe said."These are nice kids they behaveand they haveclass."

That is a real good window of what kind of institution Metro is."

Ryon Nickle said a big factor in accepting his role on the team and being able to grow in that role are his parents.

He said they never griped about his playing time and would not feed into that Ryon Nickle shared some insight into Dunlap and all he has done for him and the rest of the team.

He said Dunlap coachesfrom his guts and his heart and that he is a teacherbefore he is a coach.

"Dunlap takes great pride in seeing personal development.To be honest, he takes great pride in seeingus get our degrees.I bet if he knew that wery guy ever)' year would get their degree,he would give up winning becausehe knows that's something that sets you up for the future," NicHe said.

Men's basketball will be losing five of the 12playerscurrentlyon the team.Dunlap said 'definitely quiet leader a and Ryon Nickle is has been for the four yearshe has beenwith us."

I'm excitedabout his future and the rest of his life becauseI think that being a quiet leaderand the way he did it with greatacumen bodeswell for his future."

It wasrit supposedto start this way.

The Metro baseballteam opened conference play this weekend against New Mexico Highlands University and went in an early hole, losing all three games(four were scheduled, one cancelled due to weather) and getting outscored 40-22 for the weekend.

For the first time this season,scoring more than 5 runs didn't guarantee a win for the Roadrunners;the Cowboyoffensemade sure of it.

"We left runners il scoring position severaltimes this weekendj' said head coach Vince Porreco,"And in those caseswe need to get a big hit to scorea run, especiallyagainsta team like Highlands that can hurt you if you make mistakes."

In game one, the Roadrunners could not get their offensâ&#x201A;Ź to function, not scoring a single run until the top of the ninth inning when they werealreadydown l4-0.

In the ninth, junior Mike Hoefs got things started with a single to left, then advancedto second on an error by the left fielder. Junior Derrick Deidel pinch hit for Lawson and earned a walk. Senior Nick Thorne then drove in Hoefs from secondon a single to right field. FreshmanKevin Graham earned a walk, foliowed by a single to center field by junior Randy lashua that scoredDeidel and Thorne. SeniorGreg Garrison singledto left to score Graham, but that's all the offense Metro could get,and they fell 14-4.

"We need timelv hits." Porreco said.

"Pitching and defenseneed to keep us in ballgames."

Game two started out the sameway for the Roadrunners,spottingthe Cowboysa 2-0 lead in the secondinning.

In the fourth, Metro was able to get two runs across,the first on a bunt by Graham that scoredHoefs; the secondon a Thorne sacrificefly that scoredjunior Adam lawson.

In the bottom of that sameinning, Highlands took a three-run lead then added four more runs in the fifth to makeit 9-2.

Metro had a big sixth inning, started when Graham earned a walk and Randy lashua homered to left-center,making it 94. After Gorman and Garrison both singled, senior Clint Cleland crushed one over the wall to make it 9-7. Highlands would score two more runs however,making it 11-7 and sealingthe game.Metro scoredonce more on

a solo home run by seniorRusselFloydin the seventh,but fell 1l-8.

In game three, Metro took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, a doubleby Garrisonscoring fake Palmer from second.In the second, Highlands put up three runs, followed by Metro tying the game at three in a two-run third, compliments of back-to-back home runs by Garrisonand Cleland.

In the fourth, Thorne's sacrffice bunt scoredLawsonto give Metro a 4-3 advantage.

In the fifth the Cowboys'bats awoke to the tune of five runs and an 8-4 NMHU lead,The Roadrunners responded again, scoring three runs in the top of the sixth thanks to clutch RBI hits ftom senior Phil Francis,Thome (RBI double) and Palmer, to make it an 8-7 Irllgame.

Highlands scoredtwo runs in the bottom of the sixth, followed by a two-run Metro seventh featuring an RBl-triple by senior Nate Christiansen and a Floyd sacrifice fly to makeit l1-9, NMHU. In the bottom half of the inning, the Cowboysdrove acrossfour runs to seal t}te contest, Metro would score one more run in the top of the eighth on a Palmer home run, but it wasn't enough, and Metro's RMAC seasonstartedout 0-3. 15-10 was the final tally.

Hoefs was a bright spot in an otherwise dark weekendfor the Roadrunners,going 7for-12 at the plate.

"Personally,I'm just seeingthe ball well, and doing the things coachhas been talking about,"Hoefssaid."From a team perspective, we needto get our whole gametogetherat the sametime. You know, we haveoffensebut no pitching,or goodpitching and no offense.We need to put it all together."

Metro now returns to Auraria Field, in four games with Mesa State College beginning April l. First pitch is slatedfor 3:00p.m.
