crowd diverse house ottructs Open Womenattemptto succeedin a maledominatedfield

By Tlm Esterdehl teslerda@mscd.ctlu 0n Aug. 18, the last Friday before classes began,freshmenconvenedinsideof St. Cajetan's Centerto attend a stress-reducingopen house beneatha cloudysky without a planeil sight.

The church stas abuzz,with upbeat music, ofjets dogfightar:dadrenalile-producingvideos ilg were shown to distact the new students from the startof-semesterchaos.This multimedia display and the allure of free pastries and coffeehad the desiredeffect.

More than 60 freshmen a:rd tleir parents attended ttre event, which was maldatory for nerr aviation and aerospacestudents. Most of these studentswere rnale,but severalpeoplein attendancecomnentedon ttre sizablegroup of vromendeterminedto break into the maledominatedindustry.

Adrienne Bjaci was one ol tlose women, eventhough shesaidshehad neverflown before or beenin a plane.

'There is just somethingabout ttre thrill of flyi:rg that intrigued me," Bjaci said.

Facing even tougher oddswas Starla Rogers, who brought her infant son along. Shehad taken sone courses at CCD before dropping out.

Now sheis back in collegeto fulfill her li{elong dreamof becomingan ashonaut. She said it washer father'sfascination*'ith the stars that got her interestedin aerospace.

'I want to be a pilot. I want to fly," Rogers said. "I Loow tle reality of it and I know it is goingto be hard."

also not awareof all ttre opportunitiesout ttrere for ttrem."

Oneof the menbehindthe eventwas Meto professorCol.Bob Mauck The openhouseconcept beganback when Mauck was chair in the late '80s through the nid-'9Os. He said he was hcreasingly frustrated by the numberof freshmen droppingout becauseof the challengesof fi1ding work in the financially slumping $7 billion aerospaceindusty ald the increasingcost of learnhg to ffy, which rarges from $40,000to $70,000.He thought of his openhouseas a way to provide more assistancefor studentsvrhile they were i:r tansition. Iacking support, the ideafadedawayand Maucklater left the department.

After returning as a professor in 2000, Mauck got approval to go aheadwith his idea andput togetherthe first openhousein a month.

Now,thanks to t}e growth of the event,it takes tlree montls to set up.

Mauck seesthe eventas a way to help studentspreparefor the programald to relax.

'The openhouseis . .. to notivate students and lower their stresslevel,' Mauck said.

ProfessorJeff Pricebega:r,emphasizingstudent passion,persistencea:rd tlte use of available resources.Subsequentspeakerspresented benefits to studentssuch as aviation clubs, intemship opportunitiesand fimncial aid. Maly differentvendors,suchas flying schools,armed forcesrepresentativesand other related groups tlat provide crucial services to aviation and aerospacestudents,were also present.

Other recent efforts to improve students' experienceinclude mandating nore student'professorrelationshipsby assiping mentorsto students, and a year-by-yearcurriculum guide that specifiesthe ideal order to take required classes.

Mauck said that Metro is the largest producer of aerospacestudentsnationwideand is thought of as the third-best aviation collegein the country.

He said that tlalks to this preparation,tle aerospacestudentsMeto produceshavean adva-ntageover others.

"Our students are more articulate, more corJortable." he said, "and ca:: handle tleir sbess levelbetter than otler schools.'

'If we were to construct a pladorm the sameway as ttre Democratsand Republicaas, we'd end up with the sameproblemsas them, which is polarization,"Reismansaid.

Reismansaid polarizationis one of the biggest problemswith current American politics.

He said becausethe two largest parties have becomeso immobile in their stanceon the big issues,very little progressis made.

I am a.lsowell aware of the reactionsthat my statementsaboutmaleprivilegeand sexism elicit. This is my third yearwriting for this paper and at least oncea semesterI write about sex assault and gender-notivatedviolence. Every time I do, I receivethe most disturbing offen' sive and explicit hate mail I could have imag'feminazi.' ined.I am calleda mal hateranda While I generallyavoid doing so, I want to addressthis notionthat I hate men.In caseyou are really wondering,I do not. That is not really the point. It seemstlat whenevera woman points out the fact that menhave all the power a-ndprivilege il the world or that they exploit womento no end,tley are slappedwith the title of "manhater."

This is not a,boutwomenat war aganst men.

The late and greatAnrlreaDworkil explainedit best when she stated that there is no shortage of kitchen lcrives in this coultry. We speakout becausewe believemencan change.

I ca.nsaythat therehavebeennumerousen' counterswitl seedymenharassingmein which I told them off a:rd a:rotler man,who stoodby the entire time, cameup and said, "He was an ass.Yousuretold him."

I am sure that the man I lecturedlairly extensivelyin a lessthan passivetoneblew me off.

Howevet I cannothelp but wonderwhat would have bappenedif the nal standingnearby,applauding my efforts after the fact, would have said something.

Wlat would happeniI men refused to tol' erate friends that yelled at womenand tried to fondle them at parties? What if men made it clearthat a fellow employeesenully harassilg womenwouidbe miserableat the workplaceul' til they left as long as their behaviorcontinued?

What if one of *re men in the car cruising Denver'ssuburbswould have told his buddies tlnt harassingwomenand respondingviolently was not acceptable?

I ask suchthings in hypotheticalsituations becauseI haveyet to seernen stoppingthe harassmentand abuseof women.I also ask such tlings becauseI believetJrat,if menjust took the chance,things could cha:rge.

After all, womenhavebeenfighting against sexismfor years.It is aboutdamntime menjoil in, too.

In the June issue of the Metropolitanthere was a:r excellentarticle about the Metro AccessCenterand the qualrty of sewice it providesfor Auraria stuclents.But I feelthe story left out the positiveaspectsof having a disabledstudentpopulationon campus.

Which is my concemald the main reasonI am responding.

I am deeplyoffendedby her constantattacks of Israel and support for countrieswhoseterrorist organizationsare a tlreat to Israel. Israel is concernedwith protectingits peopleand only retaliates when provoked, as Lebalon and Palestinetend to do. Any counhy,including the United States,who aims to protect its citizenswould do the samething. Israel doesnot initjate confrontation.It must sustainitself in times of dangerous opposition.

tatt $unn gunnna@nscd.edn Mike Dunlaf is a professional.

That statement.however.was true of Metro's formerbasketballcoachlong beforehe was hired as tlre DenverNuggets'newest assistant coach.

Dunlap gave ttre Roatlrururersan identity.

Beforehis tenure the school'sathletic prognm was an also-ran.Sure,tlere had beena couple decentteams before the Dunlap era, but there was never alything wortlry of much attention. la f}ts nins years si:rce Dunl,aptook over the men'sirasketballteam,hebroughtthe schoolits first two NCjut championships.

Ttrough his 248 wins, lnnlal eamedthe respect of the entire Rociry Mountai:r Athletic Conlerence,alongwith that ofbasketball aficionadosacrossthe cout'1z While admittedlythe BuIfaloescompetein Division I, Dunlapwon as many g:ures in nine years as the University of Coloradodid in 16. It's difficult to find comparison to the Roadnmners'record amongcollege teams.

Dunlapprovedtbat teamsfrom an urlnown connuter schoolil Denvercould compete,and becauseof that, Meto is now able to hire great coachesand recruit top-tier players.

It was tlte stability within Metro's athietic departmentthat kept Dunlaparoundfor so 1ong.

He said in the past tlat he would only leavefor a school that could demonstrateits commitment to winning. Though he had spokenwith oti.er collegeprograms,notlilg was as gooda fit. That the Nuggetscould convinceDu:rtapto leave Metro speaksvolumesabout tlat team's dedication.

The Roadru::ners'bench will look a little different\dtlout hirn pacingup ald downcourtsitle,andhis successorwill baveto adjustto tJre path Dunlapwore into the hardwood.

Now ttrat assistant coach Bramon Hays vdll take the clipboardas Metro's new leader.

It would seem, in fact, that Dunlap has been grooning Hals for the position.Haysplayedfor Dudap's team at California Luttreran University. He was an assistantfor Dunlap for Metro's first chanpionship in 2000. And, like Dunlap, Hayscoachedin Aushalia's NationalBasketball League.

Hals returnedto Meto after five seasonsas t}te headcoachof ColoradoChristia.nUniversity.

In that tine, he coachedthe Cougarsinto the NCAApolls andto a 38-18recordin his ffnal two seasons.He accomplishedfar moret}a:r anyone shouldbe ableto at a schoollike ColoradoCbristial. The Roadrumersare an experiencedteam after going through growing pains last year. If Ifuys tales the job, he hasthe poteatialto maintain ttre 'Runners'win:ringways.

ThoughDunlap'snew homeis only alout a quarter mile away from the Auraria Event Center, tle experiencewill be markedly di{ferent.

The playershe will coachare biggera:rd faster, and they havelarger egos.However,Dlnlap has gottenresuits everywherehe's coached.It won't be long beforethe NBA loows vrhat Mike Dunlao cando.

loysoutfqntosyRBpicks Lonsing Fluff scheduleleads to Alexander at No. 1 Ey f,ric Lansinq lansing@mscd.edu Rururing backs are the breadwi:rnersin standardfui:tasy footba-llleaguesald will lead fantasy teams to a championship.But if you havethe pick of the litter, whom doyou choose?

Which fantasystud will outshhe the oti.ers and removeall doubt that he shouldbe chosenNo. 1? ?here are a few factorsto t"ke into account when considering one of these star running backs.Youneedto thfuk aboutthe offensethey play in, the offensiveline that blocks for then, the consistencyof the player and the poht system your fantasyleagueis a part of.

Seattle Sealnwk ruming back Shaun A1exanderwas last year's Most ValuablePlayer, leadingthe NationalFootball Leaguei:r rushing yards and setti:rg the record for touchdownsin a season(27).He looksto be the obviouschoice as tJre first mnning back to be taken in yow rlra-ft,but tJrereare points not to be forgotten.

Last year,dexander was in a contractyear and playerstend to raise their gameto a:rotlrerlevel whenthe possibilityof moremoneyis on tlte horizon. I'm not sayingthat Alexanderwill slouch now that he has his fat contract,but record-

breakilg seasonsIike Alexalder's only come so often.Also,Alexander'sA1l-ProguardSteve Hutchinsonleft for greener(AstroTlrrflpastures longruns in Miuresota,ald mostof Alexander's came running behind ttrat 6-foot-5-inch,315poundlineman.Guardslike that are hard to replace, and Alexander'sproduction cor.rldsulfer withouthim.

I{ you picked up Karsas City running back Johnsonoff of the free agent list last year, or, like me, selectedhim for your draft becauseyou hew Priest Holmeswould hit tlut injury wall, then you madeout like a bandit and went far in your fantasyplayoffs. In 2005, Johnsonstarted only eight gamesand finished the seasonwitl over 1,700 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns.

Imaginethe possibilitiesif he had started ail 16 games!Beforeyou go drafting Johttson,though, first considerthe fact tlat Kalsas City lost two of their starting offensivelinemenfrom 2005to retirement (right tacHe Johr:Welboumand A1lPro left tackle Willie Roafl. K.C.has also added Herm Edwardsfrom the New defensive-minded York Jets,who will implementhis own offensive system.Finally, offensivecoordinatorAi Saunders, who ran that great Chiefs runing back scheme,has goneto the WashingtonRedskins.

Job:rsonwill put up great statistics, but wit} that many questionmarks, he may comeback to earth.

San Diego Chargen running back Tomlin' sonhasbeenveryconsistentin recentyearsand

is still il the prirne of his careerat the age of Tomlinsonhasaver26.Thepastthreeseasons, aged1,480yardsrushing,18 total touchdoms ald 58 catches,which leadsto big statsif you fantasyleague.So are in a poht-per-reception not only can Tomlinsonmn ald score,but he cancatchthe baII.What'sthe only problem?The offensemay suffer as new starting quarterback Philip Rivers takes over. With Riven' lack of experience,defensesnay key in on Tomlilson a:rdrattle Rivers.However,SanDiegohas phe' nomtight endAntonio Gates,which shottldtake somepressureoff Tomlinson,andwhenthe blitz comesRivers night be likely to toss it to Tomlinson to get awayfrom the defensiverush.

Sowho's it gonnabe?Reiping MVP Shaun Alexander,tle very talented Larry Johnson,or the always-reliablelaDainiar Tomlinson?While noneof tlresemarqueenurnhg backswill disappoint owners,ShaunAlexandershouldbe yow first choice.Alexanderplays in the NFCWest, which includes very soft defensesin St. Louis, Arizonaand SanFrancisco.The Seahawksplay six gamesagainstthoseteams,includingmarshmallow dateswitl Oa}land, GreenBay,Detroit and KansasCity.

Whetler you havethe optionto chooseone of these superstarruming backs or haveto select from the rest of the bunch, considera-llt}te precedingelenents,as it couldbethe difference betweenmissingthe playofls or holdingthat trophy at the endof the season.Goodluck!
