Meritpayplannearcompletion Decemberis duedate for final pay for performance guidelines BYTARAMOBERTY tmoberly@mscd.edu It's beena longroui fo. M"tro', pay for perforrnance program, but the completionis in sight. Pay for performance(P4P) is a merit-basedpay system,used to reward faculty membersfor work annually in four areas:teaching; advising and student support; collegeand cornmunity servicd;and scholarship. Faculty are rated in each of the four areason three levels:excellent, exceptional and extraordinary, and would receive an award for their work during the previousyear based on that rating. Faculty members could get in award for their work in all four areas. Work is being completedon the ffnal part of the P4P guidelines, which will outline the amount faculty memberswill be awardedfor each of the areas. "The Fustees wanted to give something to recognize performance," Provosflinda Curran said. No other collegein Coloradohas a P4P system,Metro spo\eswoman Cathy Lucas said, meaning all eyes will be on Meho to seehow the program works. The money for the awardscomes ft6a12 $l milliell fund built into the brrdgetset aside for the program by the Meho Board of Trustees. ' The award will be addedinto the faculty member'syearly salary,with

the pmgram offlcially beginning next semester.Awardswill be addedto the 2009-2010salary. As P4P is non-base building money.or different from a pay raise. faculty members were concerned that it would replace salary adjustments. "Faculty were really concerned this not be used in place of cost-ofliving adjustments," Curran said, noting that the collegeis addressing other ways to fix the problemswith equity, or annua.l salary amounts, starting *ith changesto the annual departmentalevaluations. 1Annual evaluations guidelines weren'ta levelplayingground,"Curran said. Those evaluation systemwill be altered.doingawaywitb tbeprevious systemof lettergradesand replacing them with t}e categories"needsimprovement," "meets standards"or "exceedsstandards." "If you don't have somesort of ' rules, certa.inpeopleare apt get recognized,"Curran said. These new guidelines were giv-. en to Metro deanson Oct. 13. They must be approved and passedonto the vicepresidentof academicalfairs by Nov 3. Faculty and department chairs must then also approve the new guidelinesby Dec. 15, so that the program can begin when school reconvenesfor the spring semester. Metrci will also continue to look at ways to make adjustmentsto equity, somethingthe faculty has made a point of bringing up dwing discussionsabout P4P "If you don't fix all of these

The faculty was also concerned that the program could be divisive and cause competition among professors, Faculty Senate President Lynn Kaersvangsaid."tnitially, there was a lot of trepidation," shesaid. Faculty concerns about this and severalother issuesdelayedthe irxtitution of the plan, Kaersvangsaid. "Part of the question is 'Do we

like and can we live with it?'" Kaersvang salo, Though the faculty does not unanimously approveof the plan, it's moving ahead and a committee will be formed to overseethe program, evaluating bow well it is working and what areasneedto befixed. "We needto be able to addressissuesand concerns as they come up," Kaersvang said. Curran said Metro will continue to look at and overhaul othei areas,

including departmental evaluations and salaries,that must be fixed for the P4Pprogram to work. 'It was a hust issue.The faculty had to trust that theseissuesworld befixed," shesaid. The P4P funding will not be affectd b5,the recent cost containing measuresinstituted by PresidentStephen lordan. "In order for the trustees to cut funding, we'd have to declarca state of financial exigency,"Curran said.

There is a misbegotten notion among letter writers that I am, or

Which brings me back to the news, And on that liont, politics continues to reign supreme.The McCain campaign has extendedits policy of scoffingat anyonewbo doesn'tlive in

Both presidentialcampaignsare being associatedr,r'ith possiblevoter fraud and manipulation,something which further endorsesmany people's decisionnot to vote at all. Very troubling.

Marijuana Radio started out as a podcastsideproject more than two years ago and has becomethe full focus of the media group's producer, 3 5-year-oldPaul Saurini, founder of KuzzMedia. Saurini is one of the leading media advocatesof marijuana legalization in the city of Denver and state of Colorado. Through online broadcasts,marijuanaradio.comappealsto like-mindedlistenerswith pro-marijuana celebrity guests,pot-supporting musicians,cannabis-relatednews at home and abroad,and marketing of pro-hemp events.One such event is the upcoming Cann-A-Ween Halloween Party, which will includemusic (TheBluntedOnesCrew and MedicineMan), comedy(DickBlack),costumecontests,prize raffles,fashion, film and, most likely,a little bit of mariiuana. What is Marijuana Railio, its message anil agenila? Paul Saurini: Nfarijuana Radio is entertainment based around the topic of marijuana. The messageis to have responsiblefun. Our agenda is nothing lessthan full-on legalization lor recreational use, to get more and more popular people coming out of the closet about our program. and to saj' that it's okay to enjov marijuana, and that people should not go to iail lor possessingit or cultivating it. What makes [knver unique, easier or harder to operatz in as lat as Iegislation anil laws? PS: Denver is a ur que place to do this because voters approved up to an ounce on an adult for grrsonal use.It's also in Colorado,which is a 'gold rush' area for medical marijuana. So far I hare erperienced nothing but tolerancelor whal we'redoing.So lar ... Denver still enforcesfederal laws rega-rdingpossession,which is lvhy voters subsequently approved a.nolher initiative maJ<ingpossession 'lorvest the larv enforcement priority.' I]en\€r voters are somen'hat progressiveas lar as marijuana is concerned. The general consensusin Denver.the way I seeil. seemsto bc thal marjjuana useis n(,t a bad thing that requires

lalv enforcement. Where iliil this project begin, or what gave life to this iilea? PS: It be'ganwith a local who used to publish a nervspaperabout marijuana. lve started the show together, he l e l t ,a n d I c a r r i c do n w i t h i t . b e l i c v i n g it has potential.

Then onto this past r,r'eekend where they ventured to Las Vegas, New Mexico and Silver City, New Mexico. with the ffnale coming against the Rangersin Denver on a Thesdaynight. But Metro head coach Debbie Henrlrickshas kept her team fticused on the task at hand despitethe hardshipsof the schedule. "It's been a tough few weeks for us," Hendricks said. "We really haven't gotten a break.But I am very proud. This past weekendI thought

they battled as hard as I've seen them batrle.I think we are coming, together and we're delinitely showing how rough of a leam we are in gamelive." Game five has been somewhat of a bad habit the Roadrunnqrshave developedthis seasonin that they find it hard to closeout a match anv earlier. "It's hard." Metro outside hitter Bri Morley said."The fust game, we come out balls-to-the-wall.The secondand third game,we lose our composureand once we comedown and get defeated.then in the fourth and fifth games,Wefind it deepwithin uslo pull it out Hendrickscails it a curse that needsto be exorcisedby the time the playoffs come around becausegood leams will take advantageof those typesof mental letdowns.

Morley,a freshman on the team, seemedunaffected by the road trip recording double-digit kills in each of the three wins.

Metro defenderNicole Cito questioned whether the goal shouldhavecountedor not. "It wasdefinitelyan offsidegoal," Cito said. "When you don't have a ref in position to where it is, it's iust one mone thing against you. You can't blame the referees,but I think in gameslike this, where it's going to be a one goal game,the ref has a big part in the outcomeof the game." Iooking back to when the Roadrunners playedthe OrediggersSept.

Nobody from either team scored in that game, so there wasn't any debate as to whether a goal was offsideor not, however,the refereesgave out six penalS cards, two of which were red cards against the Roadrunners.
