Aviation schools under scrutiny Program enrollment increases at Metro ~ear:i__Weav~ _9~d_Lindsay Foster_ __ The Metropolitan and The Oracle -.I("

While the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have not affected enrollment for Metro's aerospace science department, it has affected some of the department's class material, flight team training and internships.

"Our enrollment went up," said aviation department professor and flight team advisor Bruce Christian. Christian said Metro's flight team lost two practice days, however due to air restrictions following the terrorist attacks.

"There were some restrictions placed around the high volume area around (Denver International Airport) Christian said. "Once they altered that somewhat, we were able to get out." Despite losing two Saturdays of practice, however, Metro's flight team took second place behind the Air Force Academy in a regional Chris Lawson -The Metropolitan competition, and is expected to be invited to a national competition in Ohio.

Metro presented three individuals with Peace Awards for their work for social justice at the 11th Annual Martin Luther King Peace Breakfast Jan. 18.

Skip Crownhart, Hektor Munoz and Bill Hosokawa received the Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Award. The award is presented to individuals who carry out the legacy of King by educating the poor and disadvantaged and helping end discrimination through teaching and activism.

"The event was very inspiring," said C.J. White, Chair of African-American Studies at Metro. "For many individuals, not only was it a time to pause and

reflect on Martin Luther King, it was an excellent start to the semester."

"In Search of Peace: at Home and Abroad" was the theme for this year's Peace Breakfast.

Keynote Speaker Vincent Harding, former Chair of history at Temple University, spoke to the audience of about 300 in the Tivoli Turnhalle.

Harding is the author of Martin Luther King: An Inconvenient Hero, and is the senior academic advisor to the public television series "Eyes on the Prize," an account of the Civil Rights movement.

He teaches at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver.

"He spoke of how the teachings and lessons of King could be utibzed as a road map in our search for peace today,

especially with the backdrop of Sept. 11," White said. "King was a doer, instead of a dreamer. He felt it was everyone's responsibility to find solutions to the ills of our society."

Harding spoke of how King focused on the need for the United States to rethink its policy in Vietnam and was concerned with poverty as it affected all people, not just African-Americans, White said. King also believed in critiquing our economic system and working to make it serve as an advantage to the poor and downtrodden, White said.

"People need to look at and understand the whole King, instead of just 'I have a dream' soundbites," White said.

Student f ees increase in f all John R. Crane The Metropolitan

...

Increases in three Auraria student fees will take effect this fall, according to Chris Meskow, Metro Student Government Assembly's vice president of student fees.

'The increases will cover raises in salary for staff, inflation and an expansion of student services," Meskow said. " They are also to let students know what fees are for so they will become more aware of the services available to them."

There will be a 3.25 percent increase in the athletics fee, which is presently $22.10 per student Meskow said. The fee will rise seventy-one cents to $22.81.

Athletics fee revenue will be about $27,000 after the increases. The athletics

fee increase will cover salaries for officials at sporting events, Meskow said.

The student affairs fee will go up 3.2 percent. It is adjusted according to a student's number o" credit hours Mesko\\' said. The fee is $28.22 for a student taking three hours of classes, with an increase of ninety cents to $29.12 next fall.

The fees and the increase will be nearly twice those amounts for students taking eight to 27 hours of classes next fall, Meskow said. Projected student affairs fees revenue is about $1.8 million for the 2002-2003 academic year.

Those increases will cover stu dent services such as legal services, counseling, as well as programs such as expansions in the music department, Meskow said.

"Information technology fee increases will be hefty," Meskow said.

"Total revenues from tech fees alone after the first full year of the increase will be about $452,000."

IT fees will provide computers, lab support, and infrastructure to support technology on campus, Meskow said.

The fees will also cover potent~al future programs such as a laptop checkout program, where a student checks out a laptop from a computer lab for a couple of hours to go to a coffee shop or a study room to work on a paper. Campus wireless Internet service and free seminars on how to use Microsoft Word and Excel are other future possibilities, Meskow said.

"I would like to create electronic communication between the institution and the student," Meskow said, " and through campus technology and increases in other services, create a better sense of community as well."

Cashing in on gender equality Dav;d Hindman Staff Columnist

I remember when I used to be Mr. David T. Hindman. It was back when I earned a decent income; before I decided to return to college and quit my full-time job. It was when I still thought people respected me for who I was, as a person, instead of just for my purchasing power.

More and more, I feel like I am "Mr. Debra J. Hindman." While I provide economic value to my family by keeping my kids out of day care and by writing for the college paper, my wife is the one who brings home the biggest paycheck. Now shâ&#x201A;Ź's the important one in the family. The most valuable player.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

When I was a little kid growing up in the early 1970s, I'd see mail come to the house addressed to Mrs. James T. Hindman.

"Who is that?" I'd ask Mom. "That's me," she'd say.

"What? It says 'James' on it. Isn't that Dad?" ''Well, yes, that is Dad's name but there's a 'Mrs.' in front of it. Since I'm married to your dad and I took his last name when we were married, I am 'Mrs. James T. Hindman."'

It sounded a little strange to me but I guess I understood her taking dad's last name at the wedding. What better way to show love and devotion?

What exactly happened to her first name I didn't know. It probably had something to do with the fact that dad made the money. He was the one who left every morning in a shiny 1967 Ford Fairlane station wagon to go to a place I didn't understand, a place called "an insurance company."

People referred to him as the head of the household.

All mom did was stay home and do easy stuff like cook, clean, change diapers and deal with crabby threeyear-olds. I mean, she didn't earn any money, at least not at first. So, I guess society decided she didn't get to keep her first name either. She was relegated to the background as a nonperson.

People might say, "It was because she was a woman in an era of inequality," and they could be partly right. But, in America, money is the measure of all things, including the value of people. Not that it should be that way. It just is that way.

All men may have been created equal but, once you're born, it's the cash that counts. Whether you're male or female, a graduate or a dropout, nice or mean, black or white, you can camouflage yourself from judging eyes if you've got enough green. If the clothes make the man it's because our society sees things in the place of people and people as if they were things.

Now that my personal earnings have hit relative rock bottom, I am a victim of the objectification of people.

Previously, the concept only existed for me in the realm of semi-reality.

It's like knowing there's such a thing as a serious car accident but, when it happens to you, that's when you really know. Now that I'm the one living it, it's real.

A couple of weeks ago, I strolled down the hallway of a Ford dealership that connected the waiting room with the cashier's desk.

''Yes, I just had my m1m-van serviced. I noticed they drove it around and parked it at the pick-up spot," I explained to the young woman behind the counter.

"Do you have your claim check?"

"Yes. Here it is," I said, handing her the slip of paper with numbers on it.

"Debra Hindman?"

The things I could have said. ''Yes, that's right, Mister Debra J. Hindman. I'm the little Mister. My wife sent me down to have you folks fix this because, you know, I don't really know anything about these mechanical things-after all, I'm just a man. Never mind that my name appears on the title too. Albeit, it is the second name because she's the one that makes the money and got the raise to afford to buy this thing. But hey, that's okay. I deserve to be a nonperson. After all, I'm only in college, and writing for the school newspaper and doing easy things like cleaning, changing diapers and dealing with a crabby three-year-old." ''That's right," I said. "Debra."

Exotic, pornographic: iust words apart Jenny Arribau Staff columnist

Erotica ... Romance ... I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck. I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

In the first track on her 90s album titled "Erotica," Madonna sings these words, using erotic as a purely sexual term. The American pornography industry, the media's use of sex to sell, and, of course, artists like Madonna, have all helped to create the modern definition for the word, erotic.

In our dictionary, and our culture, the word is a synonym for adjectives like "nasty"" and "pornographic," pertaining solely to the physical, nonemotional aspects of sexual activity.

Though this pornographic definition of the erotic has been engrained into our heads for over a century, it is an extreme misinterpretation of the word, as the erotic is love personified.

To understand this confusing and mysterious word, erotic, we must go back to its roots. Throughout history, along with the evolution of human civilization, the definitions of many

words have drastically changed, and erotic is one of them. In the book, Women's Lives: a Multicultural Perspective, Audrey Lorde explains that we should not confuse the erotic with the pornographic, as the two words are polar opposites. She writes, ''The very word erotic comes from the Greek word eros, the personification of love in all its aspects - born of chaos, and personifying creative power and harmony." According to this original definition, the erotic has no relation to pornography, nor is it strictly a feminine, sexual concept. By true definition, the erotic is the creative expression oflove.

Pornography is the direct opposite of eroticism, for it is sex in its purely physical form , and requires the suppression of love and creativity.

Engaging in any form of strictly physical sex is not wrong and can even be healthy if one also expresses love in other areas. Strictly physical sex cannot, however, be an empowering or harmonious act as a main source of arousal. Therefore, such indulgence is not erotic, but pornographic.

Emotionless, pornographic sex alone often weakens those involved and turns the natural need for sex into what society calls a disgusting and shameful urge. In many industrial societies, people are expected to perform or watch pornographic sex in

dark seclusion, especially if they are gay, female, or both. Since truly erotic sex is often unattainable, pornographic sex has always been, and will always be, an element of human society.

Many people believe that eroticism is more feminine than masculine as many believe that an emotional connection with her lover/s is required for a woman to be sexually aroused.

This theory is false as it not only denies woman's ability to enjoy strictly physical sex, but it also denies man's ability to have erotic sex.

Another reason eroticism is considered feminine goes back to pornography and the widespread objectification of women. When we think of porn, we misinterpret it for being erotic, and thanks to pop culture, we generally picture a busty blond woman in a g-string. There is nothing lovable, creative, or harmonious about representing women or men as sex objects. If erotic sex is love personified, than it is an emotional, spiritual, and sacred act; a transport to a higher consciousness, and the empowerment of those involved. Therefore, both women and men are capable of expressing erotic love.

Another expression of the erotic is the bond between a parent and child, as the ideal experience of parenthood

is love personified in an affectionate, yet non-sexual way. Many mothers believe that they express love for their unborn child through their lifestyles while pregnant, such as the intake of healthy food and the inner energy that they exude. Therefore, when the baby is born, the mother and child have already created a loving bond. This bond is personified not only through communication by gestures and speech, but also through breastfeeding, cradling and cuddling. The father or another caretaker of the baby can also experience this bond, but on a different level. I believe that there is no bond stronger than that of a mother and her baby. The creative power of woman and the physical and mental connection between woman and child is the most erotic miracle of humanity.

Exploring the history and evolution of words in our language can teac.h us bow to better understand abstract concepts such as the expression of love, and how they relate to our present day society. Express your love, whether it is by kissing your lover, holding a baby, saying a prayer, or singing a song. We all deserve the experience of eroticism.

Danielle Haraburda

Opinions Editor What does it mean to be an American?

Is it just the luck of birthplace for the majority of us, or is there a deeper meaning behind the principles we claim Principles such as to espouse? egalitarianism, justice and righteousness. Do those things mean anything to us, or do they only mean something if some imbalance in these areas has effected us personally?

I am growing distraught over conversations we, as Americans, are having regarding the al Qaida prisoners currently held in Cuba. It's not the allegations that these prisoners are being mistreated, although if true, that would certainly concern me. It's the growing idea they actually should be mistreated, tortured, even, to glean what information we might be missing about al Qaida leader, Osama bin Laden.

According to a program Jan. 20 on 60 Minutes, nearly one-third of Americans believe that torture should be used as a means of gathering intelligence from our captives. Some military officials are even claiming that torturing these prisoners may be the only means left with which to find out the truth. Liberal defense attorney, Alan Dershowitz even threw in his support for such a measure. Well, I guess it must be OK then, right?

No, actually. It's not OK and it's not right. What in the hell are these people thinking?

If Alan Dershowitz and one-third, or even more, of the population thought that witch burning should be reinstated, would that make it right? What about slavery? As my own grandmother might say, "If Alan Dershowitz jumps off the roof, would you?"

Well, it seems that Alan is getting ready to jump.

Believe me when I say I understand the emotion of revenge. I understand what it's like to be a victim of something horrible. I know what it feels like to want to make the offending party suffer.

Perhaps not on the scale that friends and family of those lost in the Sept. 11 attack do, I'll grant that.

These prisoners, assuming they are in fact guilty of terrorism (as of yet they haven't actually received a trial), have participated in an evil so unspeakable it still gives many of us, including me, nightmares. Bµt do we want to actually align ourselves with the kind of values that motivated them in the first place?

Human life obviously has little value to those involved in the attack that claimed over 4,000 of our own. If we engage in beatings and electrocutions as standard treatment for our prisoners, even foreign prisoners, we give away a piece of America the terrorists could never have taken themselves. America has already lost so very much through this tragedy.

Are we willing to sacrifice our very morals and values to gain anything?

These bedrock ideals should be sacrosanct.

There seems to be all sorts of rationalizations for such behavior.

Dershowitz claims that these prisoners are not protected by the U.S. Constitution, therefore we are under no legal obligation to NOT torture them.

Well, he's correct on a technicality. The al Qaida prisoners are not U.S. citizens

The face of a nation ... should aim for the highest of human standards available. and they are not entitled, legally, to these protections. So does this mean these protections are only a good idea if one can claim American citizenship?

He also claims the Geneva Convention does not specifically apply in this case because, technically, we're not at "war" with Afghanistan. Ok, so when does it apply?

What about our basic values? If torture is something that we claim is prohibited in light of American citizens and "real" prisoners of war, is it really acceptable for everyone else? Can we really admonish countries such as China or say, Afghanistan, for their deplorable human rights record and still claim moral ground if our actions are no better?

Pragmatically speaking, torture isn't exactly an efficient means of gathering

information. Torture someone enough and eventually they'll admit to just about anything. Supposing military officials gain support and the go-ahead to carry out such a dastardly deed, can we rely on the information given under conditions of torment?

I'm not naive enough to believe that our military hasn't already engaged in torture of prisoners at different times in American history. And I doubt that officially prohibiting such action would eradicate the practice of it in the future.

That doesn't mean, however, that the exercise of such a crime should be condoned. Human beings are fallible, that's an unavoidable fact. The face of a nation, however, should aim for the highest of human standards available.

Using half-baked arguments to pardon draconian behavior is well-beneath the standard we champion in the U.S. It's certainly well below the standard we ask of other governments.

As a nation, we have, whether we like to admit it or not, done appalling things to citizens and governmental structures in other countries. Even so, would anyone in this country sanction torture if

an American life were at stake? Even if those holding an American captive were in the "right"?

Torturing prisoners will not end terrorism. The men that carried out this crime are motivated by a cultish belief system that would not have deterred them regardless of the price. They were, in fact, willing to give up their very lives for their misguided ideals. But just because they hold no worth for human life doesn't excuse us from doing so.

It's time that people stopped thinking out of pure vengeance and so-called patriotism. If we hope to be truly patriotic, it seems we should uphold the values we claim are so unique to our nation. Not only when it's convenient, but when it's tempting to take the low road too.

The show for Metro's artistically inclined faculty members opens this week with a reception from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Jan .. 24. The show is simply titled "Metropolitan State College Faculty Exhibition 2002".

"What I like about these shows is seeing what these instructors are doing," Emmanuel Gallery Director Ken Peterson said. "It shows they are keeping their work fresh and the students get to see their teacher's' work.''

Peterson describes this year's selection as greatly varying. adding that nearly all of the art disciplines are represented, including traditional and digital photography, sculpture. ceramics, jewelry and many types of paintings, both traditional and abstract.

Peterson said he is excited about the really beautiful jewelry pieces and very experimental digital photography that will be shown.

"We have a good selection of professors and high quality work," he said. "This is a show where they can take some risks. These guys are all working as contemporary artists, and this show allows them to

Men prepare for Hays, Kearney Eric Eames

The Metropolitan

'

Just chill.

Metro men's basketball head coach Mike Dunlap is wearing summer shorts and eating a rice-black bean mixture, while answering a reporter's questions. In the background some of the player's are joking with a girl and junior guard Clayton Smith is on the internet checking out statistics.

Metro seems at ease when they're home, which hasn't been a lot this season. Of the 17 games the Roadrunners have played, only five have been at the Auraria Events Center.

"We did that intentionally in the pres·eason," Dunlap said.

Which doesn't make much sense when you consider that Metro is 63-4 (.940) on its home floor since Dunlap arrived in 1997.

Explanation please.

"It matures a young team," Dunlap added. Metro has three sophomores and three freshmen on its roster. ''We are a team without much experience at a lot of spots, so I figured that the experience on the road would make us more mentally tough and that's been true to this point."

Coach knows best, and it has translated into a 13-game winning streak (tying a school record), including a 9-0 mark in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Metro (15-2) won't be going anywhere this week as school reopens, but in order for them to keep its record unblemished in the RMAC they must defeat two of the tougher and hotter teams in the.conference.

The Roadrunners take on a Fort Hays State (13-3; 7-2) team Jan. 25 that has won 10 of its last 11 games, and Nebraska-Kearney (12-3; 9-0), winners of its last 11 games, on Jan. 26.

Kearney plays at Fort Hays Jan. 22.

"We are the stronger teams (in the RMAC) and that has Justin Haag-The Chadron Eagle been proven throughout the years," Dunlap said of Fort Forward Patrick Mutombo and Mark Worthington box out a Chadron State player in Hays, Kearney and Metro. ''We look forward to these Chadron, Nebraska Jan. 19. games, but the fact of the matter is they only give you a point for a loss, so if you don't approach (every game) with a degree of against Kearney. They're too good."

Preseason RMAC Player-of -the-Year candidate, Nick Svehla is equilibrium you are really missing it, because in the long run you can't averaging 16 points and seven rebounds for the Lopers, sophomore over react to the winning and the losing."

It's called balance, which involves perspective and self-control. Nick Branting adds nearly 15 points with seven rebounds, and senior guard Anthony Harms averages 14 points.

Thus, look for Metro to stick to its routine.

Shutting all three down is not possible.

"I don't really see a weakness in Metro's team right now, this year," "We are not going to stop those guys from scoring," Dunlap Fort Hays first-year head coach Mark Johnson said. "They're just going to get better and better and it's going to be a heck of a challenge admitted. "But if we can make it a little bit harder for them, than it's mission accomplished." for us to go into Denver and win on Metro's home floor."

Dunlap will once again use an aggressive strategy to ignite the Roadrunners offense by pressing, trapping and forcing turnovers on defense.

"Turnovers are the key to winning and losing, just as it is in football and just as errors are in baseball," Dunlap said. "When you look at the statistics we foul more than other teams, but that means we are very January 25 aggressive, and the direct result of that is that we are taking the ball •Women's Basketball vs Ft. Hays State, 5 away from the people in the league and in the country and that computes into shot attempts." p.m.

Johnson agrees.

•Men's Basketball vs Ft. Hays State, 7 "Metro is a quality program and with the way they play you can't make a whole lot of mistakes if you want to beat them," be said. p.m.

Fort Hays does have alarming straight shooters from beyond the arc that click at nearly 46 percent. Look for Metro to extend its January 26 pressure defense to the three-point line to keep the Tigers' shooters at bay and disrupt its offense flow.

•Women's Basketball vs NebraskaKearney is the most experienced team in the league and duplicates Kearney, 5 p.m.

Metro in style of play, Dunlap said. Both teams have tough defenses, sure handed guards and inside-outside scoring threats.

•Men's Basketball vs Nebraska-Kearney, 7 ''We have to wear them down and typically in the past we have worn p.m. them down," Dunlap said. Metro beat Kearney 94-85 in last seasons RMAC title game. "But there is no such thing as a knock out punch All games at Auraria Field and Events Center

Renee Ellis an aerobics coordinator, was brought in by CRA to oversee and train all of the instructors.

"Renee is certified in all the different areas, and she trains the instructors before they start teaching," Mancuso said.

Ellis puts her instructors through an eight-week training period. How quickly instructors start teaching depends on how quickly they catch on.

Ellis has also helped many of the instructors become certified or just helped perfect their skills.

"The instructors now have a wider range of skills and abilities," Ellis said.

"The instructors wanted to bring more of a variety of drop-in classes."

Some of the classes offered will only be a half hour long.

"We're going to offer quick half-hour classes on those parts of the body that often get ignored," Ellis said. "All these classes being offered is what's hot right now in the industry."

Ellis said when picking the drop-in classes to be added they looked at the bigger cities such as New York or Los Angeles. to see what type of classes people are taking.

"All the classes are influenced by the bigger cities," Ellis said.
