Ianes M. &onoble, associateprofessorof ge ologr here at l{eho, wil rcft€ after this semester.After teachingfor more than 20 years, he will begtn a new ciapt€r of bis life as a memberof the oil and gasexplorafioncobmunity.

'Oil and gas eq oration has alwaysbeenry ffrst passion,"Ctonoble said. "My ffrst love has always been petoleum geologL" His geolog career started when he was very young. "I had an older brother who majored in geology in the University of Oklahoma, and he would alwrys bring me home rocls and fossiJs,"he said. fud after study'rngthe dillerent areas of geologl, he decidedto base his education on sedimentary geologr (softrock geologr)and oil and gas His tenure at Metro in the 1980s beganas a result of the oil industry decline.'I wasessentiallyout of work.

I had to find a new field of shrdy,"he said- One of the requirements from a fellowship he receivedat The Colorado Schoolof Mineswas to someday teach.However,teachingwas not on his list of priorities n'hen he receirred his Ph.D. The only teaching positionsthen availableto Ctonobleat Meho werein the math, chemisty and physicsdeparhnents. The collegedid not have a formal geolog departuient nor offer a degreein geologr or geography becauseof competingschoolsin the surrounding areas. Instead, Mefro adoptedthe land uss program with concentrations in geolog; environmental resorures, geographicinformation systemsand urban planning As a r6ult, Ctonoble was forced to

find a part-time iob teaching math.

"I minored in math in Minessoit was somethingI could teach," he sald.

He began f4ashing college algebra in the springof 1967 and his ffrst day is one that he will never iorget the nath coordlnatorhad calledhim a few nights before classeswere to start and explainedwhich booksand matprials he was to use. When he walk€d into the classroom,the class informed him that he had the wrong t€xtbook. "It was Hnd of embarrassing," Cronoblechuckled.

But that didn't deter him fr66 his goals. As an educator at Meho, he feelsthat the studentshave made more of an impact oD him than he has on them, "I have a hemendous anount of respect for Meho students,"he said.'They are working so hard to get their degree."

He is going to miss being around young peoplebecausehe feels they keephim young at heart. "They keep me on ry toes,"he said.

Hebelievesthat he hasinlluenced sev€rdl stud€nts to becomegeologr majors. "I makeft66 fall in lovewith rocks. It's like that plat€au field trip.

If you were a shrdenttying to decide what to maior in, you would be toast I mean assoonasyou go on that field tip, you would just fall in love with the geology,"he said. He is referring to Oreannual trip olTeredto geologz and environmental shrdiesstudents where they havel to southwestern Colorado and southeasternUtah to shrdythe sandstoneformations,Pete Varney usually accompaniesCronoble on the tip and turns it into an adventure.

Ctonoble's not worried about leaving his studentsin the lurch. "I definitely think the departrnent is headedin the right direction. I think the faculty cares about the students

Comparedto larger universities, he feelsthat the faculty and stall at Metroplacethe importanceon teaching and personal help. "We don't have any graduate assistantto help the.faculty, so the faculty basically have to do everything themselves," he said.

By working in a smaller college setting, Cronoblewas wihess to several large changes on canpus. He thinks the most sigrrificant was the exparuion of the campus complex buildings during the past 20 years.

"In 1987 , you could still drive right through campus," he said.

As the carnpusgrew sodid the ge-

ologr departnent. After establishing a r€putation, Clonoble resurrected the Earth ScienceClub in 1989 and hel@ makeit one of the most active clubs on campus.

He was instumental in establishing the integratednatural science course sequenoein Meho's teacher educationprogram.He &?s giventhe opportunity to become the Interim Associat€ of the School of Ietters, Arb and Sciencesfrom 1999-2OOO. As the departrnenthead from 19952000, and againin 2001, he helped implement the envimnmental scienceprogram, GrSprogram and GIS certificateprogram.

He also hel@ establishThe Peter Durbin Endowed Scholarship,

which is given to atr environmental sciencemajor eachyear.

As for retirement,Cronobleplans on concenhatitrg on his number one passionof geologr.Previously he couldn't devotethe amount of time he wanted to his 'bbsession", but now he is able to pursue it fi l force, "I love being outside.I can work around the house.I can read. and I can hike and ca.mp,"he said.

Cronbolehas been an oubtanding member of Metro's community and has definitely left his mark. He hopeshis impact will drive other faculty and stalf to continue developing new ideasto help attract future generationsof geologists.

Professor hopes ethnic studies willfurtherdemocracy ByAARON MONTEABARO amonteab@mscd.edu The history of various ethnic studies and their propensity for furthering democracy in America was discussedon Feb. 13 at St. Cajetan's Catheclral.Vincent Harding, an elder scholarof the departmentof Alhican and African-American studies at Metro, led the speechand wasjoined by a tlree-member panel.

The importance of the continued advancementof ethnic studies and its role in our country's future was the common theme among the speakers.

To how and understand our county, we must know and understand the peoplein our country, Harding said.

He added that what started as black studies became an outlet for peopleasking who are we and where are we going; the civil rights movement was part of a much larger human people'smovement.

"Our movement was a movement for the transformation of the country," Harding said. He calls it

Get outnow: U.S.doomed An evil strain of the common cold,or perhapsthe flu, or evena new and terrible sort of plague has been going around for some time now I am in no position to classifyit, but sumc€it to saythat my headfeelslike a goddamn balloon, and the rest of my body feelsasthough it is lockedin a p€rpetualstat€of war.

I have beenavoidingthis terrible condition longer than moot, and I was proud of my health while I was zurroundedby sickly freaks,evengoing so far as to laugh and pokethem with empty bottlesof vitanin C while I drank wine and cursedthem for be'ing dumb and laid up, But all of that vitamin C was not enough, and now this evil bug has somehowfound its way into the impenehable forhess that is nry magrificent body.

I am terrified to go oubide because of the sub-freezingtemperatures, and if my nasal passagesbecomeany more stfnied by this aw{rl goo,the pressr:rewill forcemy eyesto burst ftom theA socketsand my ears willbleed until I die.

This is a fate that I halr been brooding over for some time, ad I have decldedthat it is an acceptable fate for two reasons.Reasonthe first: that I have come so near death due to this appalling gnrrr that I would

rather choke myself than go on, and reasonnumber two: that deathseems much more inviting now that I have been incapacitatedfor long enough to have watchd television for more than one hour all at once,r€minding me that I would rather bleedfrom my ears than wibresswhat is unfolding on the naflonal political level.

And sinceI do not ]€t own a shotgun, the televisionwas allowedto go on and on and on . . , But that is what happenswhen peopleget sick. They pray for sleep,or at leastthe ability to breatheproperly,but are insteadconfounded by intolerable amounts of television.Normally,I would laugh at myselffor sayinga thing like that, but the television was like a crutch that I could not disposeof in my time of deryeration. Its consistencyallowed me to retain somedegreeof sani$ I t}ink, and evena little bit of prophetic widornSo,to wit: if BarackObamawins the Democraticnomination, and Hillary Clinton doesnot force the party to selfdestruct, there will be a series of terrible eventsto follow Flrst, and most obvious,is the dreadfulrealization that the only real alternatile for the presidencywill bea senileold man who would be more usefuIto himse|f and all of us if he weredead.

JIMMIEBRtrtET jbraley@mscd.edu But fohn McCainwill not win the presidencybecauseI refuseto predict that peoplecouldpossiblybesoinsane that they would wish their chilclrento beforcedto saythings [ike, "My mom votedforfohn McCainin 20O8."That isiust too much.

If Obama wins the presidency, and there are no attempts on his life, that will be a good indication that he indeed works for nefarious peoplesomewhetebehind the scenes and is iust another politician. All good peopleare killed by bad people who waat to keep things stiil, and if Obama is not the antichrist (evidence seemstrosuggestthat he is a viable candidate),then someonewill probablyhll him.

Paradoxically,Hillary Clinton will not be assassinat€dshould she win the presidencybecauseher purpose is to help flush people'slives down the toilet Reagan'spurposewas very similar, but the half-assedassassination attempt madeagainsthim was a sort of anomaly not to be considered applicableto the habitual and routine murder of every political ffgure who seemsin any way reasonable.Besides, the '80s are taboo,and nearly everything that happenedduring that foul ilecadeis better oll forgotten.

My advice:take your savingsand move to the counbyside in France, or maybe evenDenmark, where you can watch the U.S.selfdesEuct ftom a saferlistance.Smart peopledo that sort of thing, so you can rest assured that 1ou are not likely to see very many of your neighbors settling in near you, But, unfortunately, peoplerarely listen to the type of advicethat they should,just like I refusedto seea doctor when I thought I wasgoi.ngto die.

But that is the fault of our substan'dard health care systemand my suspicion that doctors secretlyiniect all of us with mind-altering serumin orderto help createa nation full of slobbering, obedient imbeciles.Another story for another day I guess,

men Old help cant but$are ...

I am a younger decent girl, and have a lrequent problem. In quite a few placesI run into guys who are considerablyolder who tal<eme for way older than I actually am. Whde at times it is kinda flattering to be hit on by older guys,sometimesit is a bit creepyapd I don't quite know how to avoid theseuncomfortably awkward momentsthat so frequently happen.

- Unfurageyoucreepo!

Chick: It's never too early to learn how to fend off an unwelcome adlance.

If the guy is drunk, you can be as callous, rude, offensive,physical and downright nasty as you like in your rebuff. Sample:You say,"Fuck off, asshole,you remind me of my father," while accidentallyshoving a lmee/toe/beverageglassin the guy's crotch. It's perfectly acceptable iI your glassis full at the time. If he's so adamant about gefting something young, male it a nice Beaujoiaisthat wiil give him apermanent reminder acoss his zipper.

However,if it's a seriousinquiry from an earhestguy, one must keep in mind the fragile male ego. One might respond, "I am sooooo flattercd, but my mom's expecting me home soon.Hey,you look a.lot like a guy she'sbeendating. Is your name Paul?"

By the time you're ready to date, or drink, or drink and date, you'll havethe linesand the movesdown to takecareof yourself!

"Our goalon campusis to directthe Jewishcommunity and connect them with their roots," said Zhanna Kaykova,presidentof Chabad.

They often share dinner Friday nights before the Sabbath,celebratefewish holidays and meet at a rabbi's house.

They rrr'ereinactive in 2005, but when Papp.now the presidentof the club, came to Auraria. she was able to meet with CarnpusCrusadestalf and revitalize the programin 2006.

The group is active on and off campus,serving at homelesssheltersand having cannedfood drives,holding weeHymeetings,going on retreatsand having Bible studiesduring the week.Most importantll', the members seemto havea positiveef,perience.

"The peopleare the best part," CrusadeVice President BenCarr said."We havea goodtime socializingand 'connecting with God and catching up. Our slogan is, others' and that's what we want to do."

Another group that is actit€ on campusis the Christian Student Association.[t a]soparticipatesin serving the poor and holding Bible studies. They have a "fun night" every Friday evening and do monthly service proiecb.

"We are a CMstian group that takesthe Bibleas the nord of Godand we do our bestto applyit to our lir€s and to live it out, " CSApresidentBrian Campbellsaid. .

the number of hrcrnational studentsthat have beencoming to Metro and Auraria has led to much di' 'Versity campus,Orie result of that is a large Muslim on population.

MSA will havea Womenanil Islam paneldiscussion on March 1 7 and a guestspeakeron the Nation of Islam on March 19. They will also have an activity related to art in Islam on April 28. +++ The Buddhist Meditation CIub also meets several times weekly to iearn about and practice meditation.

While Buddhism is considereda religion, some of the membersmay not considerit so.

"Buddhist meditation is olrn to peopleof any reli-

By ERIC LANSING lansingomscd.edu It was another closegamefor the women'sbasketballteam, but it was another closeloss,as they fell to firstplace Nebraska-KearneyFeb, 15 in an attempt to closethe standingsbetween themselvesand the topers at the Auraria EventsCenter.

After going undefeakd in January (84), the Roa<lrunnerslost three timesin five gamesin February Every loss has come down to the waning seconds,and Meho hasfailedto come through when it counted.

"It's really hard, especially when we work on it in practice and it doesn't transfer into the games," Metro guard Ashley Mickenssaid on how difrcult it is for her team to have to swallow thesecontinuing lossesin the final moments.

Kearneyis one of the top scoring in the RockyMountain AtholTenses Ietic Con{erenceaveraging75 points p€r game.Metro has one of the top allowing Iessthan 6Opoints defenses, per contest.But the 'Runnersgaveup a season-high87 points the previous time the.yfacedthe lopers on Feb.2 in an 87-82 loss.

But in this game,Meho seemed to havetheir defensivehats on asthey held Kearney to only 27 first-half points, holding them to a meager31 percentshootingfrom the field.

But Meho coulcln't take advantageasthey could onfu muster up 25 points of their own in the half.

"I think our defensestepp€dit up big time on the initial shot," Mickens

of how well her defensepla@ in the ffrst half and knew it was inevitable that Kearney'soffensewould finally catch6re.

The Roadrunners'offenseIooked anemicat times,holding onto the ball for the entire shot clock and tbmwing up last-secondshots that had little chanceof goingin. Metro'spassing game didn't help the flow of the of fense as numerous pass attempts failed to find their targets,most ending up out of bounds.

"Sometimeswe get caught standing around," Mickens said. "Our offenseis very ftee but it counts on movement,movementon the clrive. screens."

OlTensiverebounding was the glaring stat of the matchup as the Lopersgrabbed19 boardson the offensive end. Metro's defensedid a great job contesting every Kearney shot and keepingthe shooterson the perimet€r, But they failed to collect thosemisses,and the tnpers capitalized scoring on numenousput backs for l9 points.

Mickens said it seemedlike her reboundteam doesn't take olTensive ing seriouslyuntil the last minutes of the game.She also emphasizedthat her team seemedto play for the make rather than the missbecausethe loperstook someeasyshots.

After the disappointing loss to the Iopers, it didn't take long for the 'Runners to jump back into the win colrrmn after they trounced Chadron State75-59 the following night at the Auraria EventsCenter.

I loveMetrosports,I loveiournalism,cnn'tI loveboth?

I lorrcsports.

I lor€ to watch sports,write about sports,shootsportsfor televisionand broadcastabout sports so that I can inform the public how great sports actually are. It is my livelihood, and there is not a political debateor nahrral disasterthat will removeme from my sportsdeskto roll orrerto the news sideof the ltnrld.

I also love Metro sports. I know that may soundodd and evenpathetic to those studentswho don't e!€n Lnow we havesportson campus,but I love my job as a sportsditor and a sports anchor in covering the Roadrunners.

But I think I may hare jumped that line between unbiasedreporter and emotionalfan.

This inclination came to my attention at a recent women s basketball game agrinst cross-town rival Regis on their home court. Yeah, I to road games to cover the fawl

66ems,but just give me a chance to explain beforeyou start to point and laugh at me.

So I am standing on one end of the basketballcourt with my TV photogra.pherwatching the last few minutes of a tight giarle, Meffo was railing by ffve points with lessthan two minut€s, and Metro guard Ashley Mickens stole the ball on the inboundspass.

I was so excited about the play that my emotions took over and I screamed"Yeah, way to go Mefro." I was so immersedin the game that I migbt have forgotten my status as a journalist who needsto show no favoritism toward any one team or one player.

One of my still photographers from the school newspapernoticed my cheerleadingon the sidellne,and sheremindedme that I should probably stayneutral becausethat is what goodjournalists do.

As a sports reporter, you follow teamsthroughout their seasons.You experiencetheir highs and their lows along with them, and you draw out their emotions when you ask them quesfons about their feelings on the upset win over a higher-ranlad team or their thoughts on the disashous lossto a team they should have beaten.

You becomea part of the team without even knowing il You understand their weaknesses, their At that time, just like any other strengths, their offensiveand defenman who is enthralled with a game sivegameplansand eachplayer'sperwhen someonefries to get his atten- sonality as you explain in detail their tion, I shruggedoff the oPinionated reaction when they were the hero, or photographer and kept mY e1€son when they fell short when it munted.

It is impossibleto feeldispassionthe closing actions of the game.But once the final burzer soundedand I atetoward theseteamsbecausein the finished my interviews with Mefro end, you hope they comeout on top and voicing my apologiesfor the loss, knowing tbat each playexcoach and I start€d thinking about my love for assistantput in so much hard work the team and my responsibilitiesas a and so much heart hoping to mala the team successfrrl. fair rcporter.

Does writing about the home team everysingleweekof the season make me a biasedreport€r and not giving the other team its proper due?

Well, you the readercan be the judge of that, but the reason I enteredthe sports world as a career choice was not to just writ€ down the ffnal score or to name its top scorers.I got into this businessbecauseI love the emo' tion that playersand coachesbring to eachgame,and you nevergeta rerun becausethereis alwaysa new episode at everygame.

Every fist pump that I t}row for every win or for el'ery head that I clropfor everylossrepresentsmy love for sports, which easily Fanscenils into my writing. If I had to keep a straigtrt face on the lob and I had to hide my enthusiasmsbehind my pen, then I might as well coler the news where gpvernmentspendingand podium speechescontinue to put readersto sleep.
