Jocks ask for athletic support Mary Anderson News Editor

This spring, Metro students will vote on whether to pay more or less for the Intercollegiate Athletic Program.

Students are now charged a $13 athletic fee at registra­tion.

The Athletic Advisory Committee has recommended that _the athletic fee be raised to $20, and be adjusted yearly with inflation.

The Student Affairs Board voted April 1, 1987, that the $13 fee be assessed to each student on a semester basis. Prior to that, the SAB funded the athletic program out of student fee money.

Students did not vote on the creation of the athletic fee. But the SAB stipulated that a referendum be held in 1990,

so students could then decide whether to raise, decrease, maintain or end the fee.

The referendum will also address whether to keep the fee separate, or to again have the SAB fund the athletic program out of student fee money, said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and chair of the SAB.

Thorpe also said that it is up to the SAB to set the amount of the increase of the athletic fee, if students vote to increase it.

Neither the athletic fee nor the student fee has increased in the past three years.

The athletic program now receives $426,000. All other programs on campus receive a combined total of $1.16 million, said Carey Wettjen at the Oct. 2, 1989, SAB meeting. W ettjen works in the Budget Office.

The proposed increase will net the athletic program about another $250,000 so that the total budget request for 1990-91 is $683,500, according to a memo to SAB members dated Nov. 7, 1989, from William Helman, MSC athletic director.

According to the memo, inflation and salary increases have amounted to $75,000 in the three years since the creation of the separate athletic fee, and sports budgets have been reduced in the effort to cope.

"Although the overall increase is significant, it would not have appeared as great if there had been annual increases to cover institutional ·salary raises and inflation," the memo said.

According to a summary of the 1990-91 budget recom­mendation, the $250,000 will entail: • $85,000 for Title IX improvements • $30,000 for clerk typist and student help • $40,000 for facility rental • $35,000 for individual sports budgets • $60,000 for administrative support

On April 12, 1989, the Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of F.ducation finished a review of Metro's athletic department and found several inequities between the funding of men's and women's sport.

BRIEFS Additional commencement

The addition of a summer commencement ceremony has opened the door to students who previously failed to get their graduation requirements admitted and accepted.

The new policy (not yet pub­lished) will compliment the Spring Commencement.

Graduation agreements for summer commencement are due in the week of Feb. 23, 1990.

UCO teacher courses

The School of Education at the University of Colorado at Den­ver is offering three classes for teachers this semester that pro­vide graduate credit for teacher recertification.

"Meteorology for Teachers" provides elementary and secon­dary school teachers with tech­niques for teaching students about the weather.

Based on state-of-the-art brain research, the "Workshop in Ac­celerated Leaming" will teach participants how to maximize participation in the classroom.

"Music For Elementary Teachers" is a practical, hands­on approach to reading, writing and performing music.

For more information, call Dr. Minaruth Galey at 556-3404.

MSC speech team notes

The Metro speech team is off to a big start this semester. The team travelled to Southern Ca­lifornia over Christmas break for two tournaments. At the University of Southern Califor­nia, Lawrence Pryor placed 4th in Dramatic Interpretation and 5th in Prose Interpretation . Jeffrey Howard advanced to the semi-finals at USC.

At Cal State-Long Beach, Pryor took first place in Prose Interpretation. With this first place win, Pryor qualified for the national tournament to be held in April at the University of Alabama.

Metro gets representation on Hill Mary Anderson News Editor

Metro students' official new lob­byist is already on the job.

C. Mason Golden, MSC Student Government's ex-chief justice, was appointed to be the student govern­ment lobbyist at the senate meeting Wed., Jan. 31.

The vote was unanimous for the executive appointment. Student Government President Kelly Martin said the position was temporary and would be voted on again next year.

"I think it can be a really good position because Mason was pushing for student activism. That's what I wanted in the first place," said Student Sen. Meichell Walsh, who had originally voted against the funding for the student re­searcher position.

However, Walsh said she voted for the appointment with the stip­ulation that Martin present the senate with a written job description

by the next senate meeting on Feb. 14.

"I think the position should be tested before we decide to put any money into it," Walsh said. Golden was appointed on a volun­teer basis.

"My qualifications are ade­quate," Golden told the senate. "I know how to do legal research and to obtain information that is not always obtainable. I think I can do the job - I think I can do it damn good."

Golden said that he had already done an extensive amount of re­search at the Capitol in the preceed­ing three weeks, read seven books on lobbying organization and reg­istered as a volunteer lobbyist with the House of Representatives on Jan. 20.

Metro President Thomas Brewer had told senate officers at a meeting Jan. 29 that he had mixed emotions about student government having a lobbyist.

"I can't stop student government. I don't have the power to," Brewer said. "It depends on how the job is

handled. We can't afford to have them within 85 miles of The Capitol Reporter. Until it gets off the ground, it will be sensitive. We can't have the legislators coming back and saying that it's biased."

The Capitol Reporter is a new legislative newspaper written en­tirely by Auraria students. It is the second of its kind in the country.

Mason later said that he is currently following several bills at the Capitol that concern higher education.

Among the most important: • Senate Bill 6 • House Bill 104 7 • Senate Bill 19

Senate Bill 6, whose prime sponsor is Sen. Al Meiklejohn, R­Jefferson, concerns the creation of a committee to review the needs of education in Colorado.

"This bill will make or break higher education in this state," Golden said.

Of special interest to Metro students, this bill calls for the planning of ''the education and training of adults in state-supported

post-secondary institutions ... con-tinuing education for adults ... ac-cessibility of all citizens in Colo­rado to all elements of the education and training system."

House Bill I 040, whose prime sponsor is Rep. Paul Schauer, R­Arapahoe, calls for setting student funds aside from the institution's general fund. Golden said that if this bill passes, any interest earned from student fee money will return to the student fund account, and not to the general fund account as it does now.

Senate Bill 19, sponsored by Sen. Sandy Hume, R-Boulder, pro­v.ides money for academic chairs and programs of excellence at state­s up ported institutions of higher education. If this bill pas.5eS, the state will match donations made by individual and corporate donors.

"I am not up there for Mason Golden," Golden said. "I speak for the student. The best way I can do that is through (senators') voices." o

AHEC: Bookstore has no profit motive Lyn Wazny The Metropolitan

With the arrival of each new semester comes the trek to the Auraria Book Center for required textbooks. Depending on the class and used-book availability, a stu­dent may be lucky and walk out spending less than $100 for two to four books.

Are Auraria students paying too much for textbooks?

No, said bookstore manager Gretchen Minney. "Our books are priced with a very short margin of 25 percent." That is the difference of what the bookstore pays the publisher and what the price is to the student.

"The cost of a book has nothing to do with the paper and ink," explained Minney. "The major ex­pense is in the manuscript acquisi­tion. Getting it from the author, negotiating, paying to have it edited and prepared for publication, pre­paring an index and photographs."

The ABC is one of several facili­ties on campus that operates out of

L

the student-supported bond fund. Issued 14 years ago before the campus was built, the bond fund supports the Student Union, Osage Child Care Center, Professional Food Management, the cafeteria in North Classroom, the nine stu­dent lounges, ACTV, some Physical Plant and Public Safety expenses, and all vending machines in these buildings. Maturity date on the bonds is 2010.

James Schoemer, interim exe­cutive vice president for Auraria Higher Education Center and Min­ney's boss said, "Any revenues generated (by the bookstore) go into the bond fund. All expenses to operate these facilities come out."

The total proposed operating budget for bond-supported facilities for the 1989-1990 school year is slightly more than $11. 7 million. ABC is projected to make almost $9 million, leaving approximately a $250,000 profit.

Schoemer said, because the bookstore has made a small profit in the last two years, it is subsidizing the bond fund. But, he emphasized, "There's no motive here to make a profit." The monies earned are earmarked for the bond fund and they cannot be diverted.

Schoemer said his office regulates textbook prices, which have not gone up in three or four years. He said the real mark-up is on "soft" goods such as sweatshirts, caps, teddy bears, etc. There is a 10-25 percent increase on general books, such as new releases and perennial classics. Prices on supply items such as computer goods were re­duced last July.

The bookstore employs approxi­mately 100 people; 75 percent of

them are students paid hourly. The remaining 25 percent are state employees. Student salaries begin at $5 an hour. Government em­ployees are paid designated classi­fied wages.

Minney said the bookstore staff differs from a retail outlet staff in that they have "a commitment to education." In comparison to their competitor, the Student Resource, she said ABC provides better service and more knowledgeable employ­ees.

The breakdown on the book­store's projected budget for this school year:

• $170,000 in rent, • $1.4 million in salaries, • $494,000 in operating ex­

penses, • $337,000 for equipment and

administration expenses, * $10,000 is budgeted for gifts

and donations to student clubs and organizations and

• $10,000 is allocated for book scholarships.

A recurring issue is the free copies of books given away to faculty each year to promote better sales.

ABC belongs to a buying ro-op with other national colleges, en­abling lower prices bacause of bulk purchasing. "We are not a 'cash cow' operation," said Schoemer, referring to an operation that over­charges students to make a profit.

Faculty members submit their requests to ABC for textbooks for the upcoming term. Minney said there have been some problems in the past with instructors being late in getting in their requests for textbooks, resulting in empty shelves for students.

ABC buys used books from all over the country. The quantity of books bought back from students depends on the projected demand of the books for the following term. If a book is on the required list supplied by faculty, it is usually bought back at half price. Then it is marked up to compensate for over­head costs. If the book hasn't been authorized by the faculty, it is sold at wholesale.

James Schoemer

"A lot of students come here from Boulder because our prices -are cheaper," Schoemer said.

"Our staff is considerably smaller than the CU bookstore. But we serve more people."

So why do people complain about book prices?

"Books are not held in high value in our society. People will spend a fortune on clothing, jewelry, pizza, gadgets, sweaters, even co­caine. We want to see responsible consumers. People who have pro­duct knowledge. This is important to us and we want it to be to them," Minney said o

•A: METRO POLIT AN 4 February 9. 1990

Met interview: Brewer addresses academic policies

The Metropolitan recently interviewed MSC President Thomas Brewer at length about topics of current concern to Auraria and particularly, Metro. In the first part of the interview, Brewer talks about the name change, a proposal to require community service from student and "creeping elitism" as it relates to the role and mission of the school The second part of Brewer's interview will be published next week.

The Met: Would you address the creeping elitism issue?

Brewer: I am not aware that there is any creeping elitism. I think that Metropolitan State College has a role and mission that's defined by law. I think that what you see ... is that we are affordable, that we are accessible, and that we're adaptive and that we serve as an urban institution, that we serve both traditional and non-traditional students, that we serve older students. I don't even like to say "non-traditional student" because, in an urban institution, that older student is the traditional student.

We are trying to provide our students with the best possible education that we can. I don't believe that the role and mission has anything to do with anything less than a quality education. We serve a clientele that is urban in nature, but I have said over and over again that once (they) cross that stage and accept that diploma that they have to go out and compete in the real world against people from every other institution and we would not be doing what we should be doing for the students if we didn't give them the finest education we can. The Met: What about raising exit stan­dards? Brewer: What I have said is that the student that graduates from Metro today is better than the student that left here IO years ago and that the student that graduates IO years from now is going to be better than you are. I think to have any other goal is not to say we're going to grow. I mean, we all want to grow. You're not going to be the same person IO years from now and hope­fully what you tell yourselves is that you'll be a better person IO years from now in all respects, a better individual, a better whatever your job is. The Met: What about the proposed com-munity service? Bre.wer: I think it enhances the quality of the students' experience. The community service requirement has been put on the table by me as part of the humanizing part of the curriculum. It seems to me that a college

education does two things. A college educa­tion is supposed to help somebody learn how to do something, but a college education is also supposed to help someone become somebody. In other words, a better person. After all, the nation looks to college graduates for leadership and future leaders of the country. Well, future leaders have to do more than just do a job. They have to be part of the community, they have to exercise citizenship, they have to exercise respon­sibility, and I think that that's part of our role and what we provide in the education. And that's where the community service require­ment comes into it. That what we ought to do is be exposing - and that all it is - is exposing students to the caring side of society. That when they go out as human beings, that one of their responsibilities as good citizens is to participate in society, and not just be a job taker.

The Met: Would it be a whole semester? Or a certain amount of hours? Brewer: I don't know how it would look yet because the faculty committees would have to look at it. My view of it would be an unsupervised, non-credit requirement. All the student would have to do is produce a letter saying they have performed X number of community service hours and then that would be registered. However, there is a whole range of questions that comes with that that haven't been addressed them is that we're waiting for an attorney general's opinion. The law of Colorado says that if you have a supervised for-credit experience - and we have a lot of programs that have those - then you have to have workman's compensation. Well, our lawyer says, the

system lawyer, says Colorado law is gray on that. This is non-credit, non-supervised, but it is a requirement. Therefore, we have asked

the attorney general for an opinion. If the attorney general comes back and says, "yes, you have to carry workman's compensation," then the whole thing's dead. We can't afford that kind of expense. So, if the attorney general comes back and says, "under the law, you can do it," then it has to begin the whole process of faculty committees and discussion, and all that sort of thing, to see what it would look like. Under no circum­stances could you apply it retroactively. Remember the catolog is a contract between you and the institution. So, say if it were voted in by the faculty and it were started in the fall of '91 , only students entering in the fall or later would be subject to that re­quirement. Let me add one more point to that because, see, what's going to happen here is that Congress is going to p~ a community service law and if it doesn't come this session it's going to come in the next session. It's been talked about by too many congresspeople. Powerful congress­people. One bill came out of committee in the last session and we have been able to nationally beat down a connection to fi­nancial aid. In order to get a PELL grant, you had to do community service. But that's discriminatory, because those who don't need financial aid wouldn't have to do it. But I'll tell you what is going to be built into it, that's going to be loan forgiveness. So if you have any kind of financial loan and do community service, the federal government will forgjve a certain J)9rtion of y~mr loan. I'll guarantee you that, when that gets in there,

you're going to find thousands and thousands of students interested in doing community service. The Met: Do you think that faculty evalu­ations should be a matter of public record?

Brewer: My question of student evalua­tions has always been, "What do the students really want from the evaluations?" I've been through this once before, and normally, what the students want to see and what the administrators want to see may not neces­sarily be the same thing. I would think that the students should work with the Faculty Senate to determine what the students reallv want to see. If the students want to see the summary sheets, the raw data wouldn't tell them anything. It's all anonymous anyway. There are 2,000 sections a semester at Metro. This is a big place. Roughly, you're looking at 15- to 16,000 pieces of paper. Are you going to put them in one huge volume and put it in the Student Center or some place where students can thumb through it or do you want to work out a different set of questions of interest to the ..... students that can be administered at the same time as the administrative evaluations? Therefore, the students have a set of questions that would be of the greatest interest to them and administrators have a set that would be of the greatest interest to them.

The Met: Could you touch on the college's research mission? Brewer: There is no research mission for MSC and that is a flat statement. We have a role and mission, we are a teaching institution and we want the best possible teaching for our students that we can have. I think to -want anything less is not fair to the students.

Now, we do expect our faculty to grow professionally. One way that faculty can grow professionally is through scholarship which varies from discipline to discipline. People get too hung up on the word "re-search."

Our handbook does not allow you to be evaluated on more than 70 percent teaching. Most faculty come closer to 50 or 60 (percent). It is all worked out between the chair and the faculty.

One important ingredient to remember is an institution can' t expect more than it can s~pport. We are not a research school. I mean, we cannot give people six-hour loads with all kinds of graduate teaching assistants running around.

There are other ways faculty can show professional development, like attending workshops and attending seminars. Pllf DRMllCl ____ se-e Brew-er p~g. s.

Brewer - trompg.4 -

The Met: And if they do not do that?

Brewer: If they don't do that then they should not be evaluated [as] excellent. I mean, the evaluation procedures do not allow 100 percent teaching. You have got to be able to show that you grow professionally. We're not changing anything. I think we have some faculty who have misinterpreted this.

The Met: You raised full-time faculty salaries 8 percent last year, but failed to raise part-time faculty salaries at all. Do you hope to reconcile that?

Brewer: I take responsibility for it. Our full-time faculty salaries are really low. I was worried what this session of the legislature would or would not do. There was a lot of talk last spring that the legislature felt that they were at the end of a three-year commit­ment that they had made to higher education. If there is no new money for education. then what we could do for faculty salanes is zilch. We thought that we'd better pour as much money into full-time salaries [as we could]. because we were afraid of what could happen. By not giving the part-time faculty increases this year. that equated to about I percent more money for the full-time faculty. Now, you can say that is not fair to the part-timers. I agree.

Part-time faculty are important to us. Everything else being equal and the legisla­ture talking the way they are talking, I fully expect to raise part-time salaries for next year.

The Met: Minority retention and recruit­ment was one of the goals that you set for yourself when you came to this institution. Minority applications were up 40 percent last year. How do you know when your goal has been met?

Fee - from pg.1 -Title IX of the Education Amendments of

1972 require there to be equal opportunities to men and women in the provision of athletic benefits and financial aid.

Female athletes are awarded significantly less financial aid than male athletes, and female athletes do not receive room and board as do their male counterparts, accord­ing to the federal study.

Metro also does not provide equivalent equipment and supplies to its female and male athletes. There is also a disparity in housing furnished during travel in its "Priority I" sports, and a lack of equivalence in the provision of locker room facilities.

Metro's plan to correct the Title IX inequities between men's and women's ath­letics is dependent on the proposed athletic fee increase.

The facility rental will be needed during the reconstruction of the Physical Education and Recreation Building, scheduled to take place next fall.

Administrative support includes insurance, travel, maintenance, sports information, pro­motions and medical supplies.

The creation of the separate athletic fee allowed athletics to move toward a more competitive status at the NCAA-II level and added to the positive image and visibility of Metro, said Helman. Increased funding is critical if Metro is to strive for excellence at the NCAA-II lev~l, according to Helman.

Metro became a member of NCAA in 1983. It now bas 11 sports at the Division II Leve~ six for women and five for men. Men's basketbaJl and women's basketbaJI &nd volleybaJl are "Priority I" sports, so these receive more emphasis and funding

Brewer: It will never be met. I think that we want to keep making sure that we have access to minorities and they are aware that the access is here.

One of the things that they had in the "Post" article (Jan. 15), which is probably one of the more vicious articles that I have seen, was comparing the population of the city and county of Denver. You have to remember, we are not an institution for the city and county of Denver. We are called Metropolitan State College, and we have a six-county service area, and only 31.5 percent of our students are residents of the city and county of Denver. The rest come from outside that area. To be fair to use us as an institution, you would have to take the six­county population and break that out, and then see where we stand with minority enrollment. To be even more fair to the institution would be to take the minority population 18 and over. The "Post" article did not do that.

We want people to be able to pursue their goals. We need more fund raising. There is no question that we can always have a better environment.

The \.let: We have had high turnover \\.Jth \iSC's presidential post are you present­ly happy wnh your position?

Brewer: Well. I thmk the challenge is here. I really think. with the exception of the Auraria situation, that I think I have seen most of the problems before and most of the questions before. I can't say tbat r answered them successully. It is a good school. I have never seen such a dedicated staff.

The Met: You once said that this would be your last professional move. Is it?

Brewer: I think it will be. probably for practical reason as much as desire. And the practical reason is that I am an old man (laughs). o

from the college. In 1985 an enrollment shortfall resulted

in the loss of $2 million in revenue for the college. Athletics had an annual deficit of $75,000. A student referendum in May I 986 approved increasing student fees by $5.00 to underwrite the athletic program.

"We're one of the lowest funded athletic programs per capita in the state and one of the lowest in dollar amounts," said Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement. Metro's ex-president Magelli transfered the athletics program to Insti­tutional Advancement in September 1986, and the program now reports directly to Gianneschi.

"The question whether Metropolitan State College should have an athletic department has been answered by generations of students since 1967. We should be competitive," Gianneschi said at the SAB meeting on Jan. 24.

"I can honestly say that during 7 years at this institution, that no athletic program has been scrutinized or investigated or studied more than the intercollegiate athletic (pro­gram) at Metro State College," Gianneschi said.

In the 1989-90 fiscal year, the athletic program received $170,000 in state funds from the institution. Last fall, the MSC Executive Board allocated $65,500 to buy a bus, computers, video and office equipment, according to Helman.

Student fees are not the only source of revenue for the athletic program. The Booster Club, gate rereipts, camps, clinics and special events generated $74,000 in the 1989-90 fiscal year, according to Helman's presenta­tion to the SAB on Nov. 13, 1989. o

Club Social 'Where you weren't and they were'

Richard Sclbelll Jr. Managing Editor

Just when you thought Metro's social scene had fallen to the wayside, up pops Student Activities with this year's Club Social.

Hosted by Program Board Chair Dennis Bryan, this year's function proved to be the place to see and be seen if you happened to be near downtown on Tuesday, Feb. 6. It was a virtual who's who in the Metro club scene. Afterall, where can you see media-monger student senators Gerri Madrid, Jeremy Stuhl, Meichell Walsh, and the once infamous Joe Navarro, all in the same room.

get student activist Lois Kaness to venture out onto the dance floor. However, she was seen doing a few moves off by the buffet table.

''This music is from my generation, you know," Kaness said, Kaness was present representing the Associated Women Students.

It seemed as though club affiliation was of no concern, or at least there was no limit placed on the number of clubs you could be

representing. This was apparent when it was learned that freshman Student Senator Jell Hamden was present representing Phi Chi Theta, Phi Gamma Mu, the Political Science Club, Pi Sigma Alpha, Sigma Delta Phi, and Phi Alpha Theta. Sheesh, what a fratboy.

"That is all I can remember," Hamden said. Don't sweat it, we will get back with you later. Anyway, you made up for those in attendance like Render Wyatt, associate editor of''Tbe Advocate, ~ho not only is not

a Metro dull.member, but does not even go to

Metro. Render, Render, Render, this was a Metro Club Social. That's OK, your smiling face is welcome on our side of the fence anytime. I know, free Swedish meatballs, who can tum them down?

"There is no reason it is not a success - I am here," Wyatt was overheard saying. "Our students would never go for something like this." Well we wouldn't know, we are never invited over there. o

were awarded to clubs that entered their names into the raffie. Club coordinator, Ed Quayle (yes, Quayle, like in Dan) claims there are currently 62 recognized clubs at Metro, however, not all 62 showed up. Unfortunately, the Clay Club apparently failed to attend. Too bad - $50 would buy a lot of clay.

The Auraria Book Store donated (yes, donated ... that is not a typo) a selection of sweatshirts, sweatpants, T-shirts, and hats that were raffled off to individual students. And if that wasn't enough, free food was supplied by Professional Food Management. Well it was at least free to those who attended, including to Student Senator Michael Green who was seen briefly at the beginning only to disappear to his office before the music even started. Providing the entertainment was the rock-a-billy band Mustang Lightening (ala Stray Cats), who, despite their driving tunes, couldn't seem to

Second, if you have or obtain a qualified student loan, you could get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater - up to a maximum of $10,000. Selecting certain specialty training can increase the maximum to $20,000.

And you'll also earn good part-time money for serving in a nearby Anny Reserve unit. Following Basic Training

·~METROPOLITAN

Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris

A good friend of mine died last week. A couple other friends and I attended the death and

paid our respects in our own unique way: we drank a lot of cheap beer and danced the night away.

Sound irreverent? Not if the deceased is a dance club that was once the center of one's social life in the days before AIDS, DUI and the rest of the alphabet soup.

Yes, my friends and I headed down those memorable black and white checkerboard steps for one last visit to Pogo's in the idyllic town of Boulder.

I'm not sure what my friends were thinking about, but I was remembering the first time I entered that dark, low-ceil inged basement dance club that was to become my home away from home over the next five years. ·

Yeah, right. OK, now you're all expecting about 12 more column

inches of drivel about how much I loved this seedy little place and how I grew to be a man and met the girl of my dreams (but then lost her because I did something stupid and guy-like - maybe got drunk and slept with her best friend's dog or something).

Of course, there'll be descriptions of all the wonderful friends I made while I was a directionless bum with nothing else to do but spend mon3y on cheap 3.2 beer and actually believed that the kind of music you listened to said something about who you were (some­thing I had no idea about at the time).

OH! And what about that music? It goes without saying that such music was incomparable to anything we have around today, right? Bands today don't know what they're doing - all that black clothing and white pancake make-up - who are they trying to fool, right?

Right? Come on, admit it, this is what you were expecting to read. The really disgusting thing is that I was actually going to say a bunch of stuff l ike that. Because, if you really want to know the awful truth (and you must or you wouldn't have read this far), ol' Pogo's really was a great place to hang out once upon a time in Boulder.

But I very quickly realized that the only constant in life is constant change. I don't know how many times I've heard the saying "you can never go back" accom­panied with much sagely nodding of heads and a lot of "oh yeah"s. But how often does anyone really listen to it? Have you checked the TV I is tings lately? How about the ever-growing list of formerly separated bands that are re-forming to make a stab into the public pocket­book?

Now, my esteemed co lleague (well, col league any­way) John Roper has already written a column on baby-boomers and the irreversible damage they have done to contemporary American society and I am not going to reiterate what he so artfully said about them.

And of course, the problem was that , when I sat down to write about a place that really does hold some meaning to me, I discovered that I had fallen into the same trap they have.

Instead of thinking about the incredible time we're living in now - a democratic Eastern Europe, a Soviet Union with political parties and a Mc Donald's (imagine fast-food with shots of Stoli) and a white South African president who must have actually listened to the Specials AKA song "Free Nelson Mandela" - all I could think about was the past.

So folks, screw the past, our future is turning out to be better than re-runs of Star Trek, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Twilight Zone put together.

Yeah, I know it's not a very snappy ending, but you try writing after spending two hours on an RTD bus.with a bunch of Yuppies some time.

LETTERS

Senate bickering exhausting Editor,

I am real tired of picking up The Metropolitan every Monday to read about who called who what, who isn't living up to the promises they made, and who is doing more work than whomever. All last semester I read about racial slurs flying back and forth . Just what does the student government do but fight with each other constantly?

The first time I picked up the paper this semester, I read that someone wanted to discontinue the sale of Coke products because Coke supported some cause someone in the government didn't agree with. Does it occur to anyone that the people going to this school have minds of their own and would like to use their own power in deciding what they want to buy and what they don't?

Doesn't anyone in the government have any other pressing matters sliding across their desks from time to

time, other than call ing each other names and making up my mind for me?

There are other things that need to be done for the students of MSC than the constant bickering. We could use more tables or desks in our classrooms, or bigger rooms, department offices that stayed open for the evening students, microwaves in non-smoking lounges (I'm a smoker and I can't breathe in the smoking lounges) , less junk food in the vending machines, teachers that actually give out evaluations, better selection of classes, a say in why our tuition goes for things we haven't used the whole entire time we've been at Metro, etc.

The question that needs to be asked is, "Who has the bickering benefited so far?" Not me!!

- C. Vogtman MSC Student

Microwave madness addressed Editor,

In response to the letter to the editor, February 2, 1989 in The Metropolitan, I would like to summarize the issue of microwave ovens in campus lounges as it was presented to the Food Services Advisory Committee. First, the FSAC is the only student committee that works directly with the food service contractors and AHEC, the contract holders. Second, the FSAC is responsible and responsive to student issues concern­ing the student lounges on campus. And thirdly, the lounges are bond-fee areas and are run directly by students with any relating issues decided by student votes in the FSAC and at the Student Advisory Commit­tee to the Auraria Board level.

Microwave shortages were brought to the attention of the FSAC in November 1989. Initially, the idea was brought up that perhaps the vending contractor could be asked to provide more on behalf of the students. After CANTEEN, the vending contractor, provided demographics and the actual contract was consulted, it was decided that CANTEEN (who owns all of the microwave ovens on campus) had over and above fulfilled its contractual obligation and, as such, should not be asked to provide any further microwave ma-

chines. The shortage of microwave machines (specifically in

the non-smoking lounges of the Arts and West Class­room lounges) is being dealt with in the form of a comprehensive lounge proposal package which would be then presented to the SACAB. This will reach SACAB in late February or early March. Points of interest in the proposal may include: smokeaters in all smoking lounges, new carpet/tile, new chairs, new tables, new umbrellas for the patio areas in Science and South and new smoking/non-smoking designations. The proposed new microwaves would come from the repair and replacement budget from the bond-fund. There is $25,000 allocated for the 1989-90 fiscal year.

To all who are interested in any of these issues as well as those students with complaints/compliments for any of the food service areas on campus: YOU ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND THE FSAC MEETING, WEEKLY ON TUESDAYS, STUDENT UNION ROOM 252AT12:30 PM. You will be asked to note your name and school affiliation forthe record. Hopefully·! will see some of you at the meeting soon.

February 9. 1990 II

Profs letter treats issues too lightly Editor,

I am writing in disgusted rebuttal to a guest editorial by Professor Jett Conner of your Political Science Dept., which appeared in "The Rocky Mountain News" on Friday, Feb. 2. In it, the professor trivially passes over issues of the '80s and why they will hardly create the social tensions of the '60s in the '90s. He is right, but the blame clearly lies with idiots like himself who, ensconced in risk-free, self-serving tenure, are lulled to sleep while the nation comes unraveled. They complacently take a long-term perspective attitude that most problems in governing are cyclica l and self­correcting. They completely neglect the sermons we continually hear that self-governing demands relentless self-correct ing and questioning of authority. In a coun­try still experimenting with self-government - many would say unsuccessfully - his position should be critically militant in pointing out our failures to the only citizens (students) who alone would be willing and able to force reforms.

Instead, Conner and hundreds of corrupt members of academia like him have succeeded in c reating student bodies of naive, uncaring , second class citizens interested in using education solely as a means of obtaining purely private economic benefits.

Brief examples of the corruption: • It was the '80s which saw a government of the rich provide immensely greater benefits exclusively to the rich, doing so on money borrowed from the world. You students will pay these borrowings back with substan­tially lowered lifestyles for the remainder of your lives. Conner would have to be hopelessly ignorant to be unimpressed with this assault on the foundations of democracy. His failure to arouse students to this gross injustice of the '80s in his editorial is unforgivable.

• The out-of-control corruption of Congress is epito­mized in the congressionally implemented cause and later remedies of and for the savings and loan scandal. In an action whose disastrous result could clearly be predicted - thus it was premeditated - Congress passed legislation which allowed unlimited government guarantees of savings in S&Ls. One had only to limit each investment in a single S&L to $100. But millions could be spread through dozens of S&Ls.

Worse yet, when the House Banking Committee was discussing means of meeting the government obliga­tions to "savers," two liberal representatives suggested the cost be recovered on a pay-as-we-go basis, without the need for borrowing and interest payments; this by implementing a surtax on incomes over $250,000 and by plugging some of the loopholes in the inheritance

•In 1986, congressional members on both sides of the aisle solemnly agreed that the higher rates of the progressive income tax would be lowered in return for not allowing a lower tax rate on capital appreciation. Now the corrupted are back, demanding a lower rate on capital gains and predictions are that they will (bi­partisanly) succeed. The less progressive income tax rates will, of course, not be touched. • One of the faceless, federal agency giants recently ruled that long distance phone callers must pay a monthly access charge to use whomever's long distance lines. This with no protest from your friendly democratic Congress. It is $3.50 per month , which means that if your calls average about $10 per month, the access charge is a whopping 35 percent of your charges. Naturally this does not materially affect the commercial user whose long distance charges are several hundreds of dollars per month, and whose call rates are con­siderably lower when financed by millions of small consumers' access payments.

•FICA taxes are completely regressive. The rate is the same for all taxpayers. For the very rich, the tax is forgiven beyond a maximum (still mod~st) contribution.

Thus, while once effectively progressive income taxes are made ever less progressive, the FICA tax is ever more heavily relied on to furnish - not trust funds -but general revenues. The rate has been increased several times over the past 20 years. It is a pure and simple switch to greater dependence on revenues from the poor and less from the rich . •A city has granted a monopoly to a cable television concern who, in the meantime, has bribed Congress into passing a law that makes it illegal for a city to dictate rates that the cable concern can charge its captive customers. As expected, its customer rates are raised continually. • Space does not allow a detailed discussion of how private enterprise and its lackeys in government have botched the provision of such absolutely essential services as affordable health care and housing and free higher education. Problems in these areas are not about to be solved because socializing any type of service is against the strict, privatization ideology of those who control both state and federal governments.

Unbelievably, Conner, although passively cynical really sees nothing to get excited about. Please don't disturb his (tenured) slumbers for the balance of this century.

You who care - and wish confirmation of our ills in government - would be advised to read E.L. Doctorow's commencement address last spring to the graduates of Brandeis University. A reprint of it and comments on it appeared in the Oct. 2, 1989 issue of "Nation Maga­zine."

Back in the days of King Arthur, whenever a damsel found herself in distress, all she had to do was lean over the castle wall and yell for help. Pretty soon some knight in shining armor would come riding up on his white steed and give her a hand.

Well, Auraria campus doesn't have a castle, and I haven't seen many knights or steeds running across Seventh Street recently. But chivalry is not dead - and Greg Brown and Brad Frank are out to prove it. Even though Frank wears a ski jacket and Brown drives a white AHEC pickup truck, they're still my "knights in shining armor."

You see, on Jan. 25, after spending two

hours in the Auraria torture chamber (or library, as some people like to ca11 it), I arrived at my car only to find that the tire had gone flat. No red lights had flashed on my dash, no annoying alarms had sounded when I got out of my car that morning. I had no advance warning of the situation to come. And, I might add, no advance training on what to do when it happened.

See. I've never had a flat tire before. And I skipped over the "How to fix a flat" chapter in my automobile manual when I bought the car, laughingly assuming that flat tires only happen to "other people."

So, anyway, I went up to the parking booth and asked Frank ifhe might be able to help me. With a smile to rival Tom Cruise's, he said he sure could. He radioed Brown,

and in less than five minutes, the two were trying to figure out how to get my spare tire out from under my car.

You see, I think someone in Hondaland has a rather sadistic sense of humor. They figure they can make cars affordable to all the poor students in America, but they're going to make them pay in other ways. Like locking the spare up under the car so the entire process of changing a tire takes twice as long.

But it really didn't seem to bother Brown. ., He's becoming a pro. I was his third flat tire of the day. Not only that, but as Brown was changing my tire, two other students walked up. They both had left their car lights on and their batteries were dead. Could someone give them a jump?

Frank turned around and with that cruisin' grin said, sure, they could help. So he took the truck over and gave the first car a jump. Then Brown finished with my car and gave the second car a jump. Somewhere in the back of my mind I heard a voice say, "lt'sjust part of the job, ma'am."

So, you see, chivalry is still alive and on this campus - they call it MAP. The Motorist Assistance Program, sponsored by the parking office, gives simple road service to cars parked in the campus lots. It's a program funded through the parking fees. If you need help, you can call 556-3257, or have a parking attendant call for you.

Thanks, Greg and Brad. Your "service with a smile" was appreciated by at least one studenl that day. D

New MSC program helps fight flab Catherine Sell The Metropolitan

Summer is a mere three months away, barely enough time to banish the blubber, bounce back into shape and bare that beach­wear bod.

Anyone who's tried to lose weight knows what it's like to break the sacred vow of staying on a diet. Most people fail because they become too stringent by not allowing themselves their favorite foods and enough time.

Now Metro has a new diet program called LifeSteps, which is sponsored by the National Dairy Council and MSC. The program, offered this semester, doesn't promise you will look slim in a few weeks, but it does promise to help send you in the right direction - the safe way.

Cynthia Farkas, a nurse practitioner at Auraria, said she prefers to call it weight management instead of weight control. She said LifeSteps relies on behavior modifica­tion, activity and support from a peer group.

"Anybody can go on a silly diet and lose weight, but maintaining it is another story," she said.

Farkas warns that if you try to starve yourself, your metabolism will adjust to the lower calories it's receiving. When you eat again, even if it's only a few hundred calories more than on your diet, your body doesn't

have time to readjust and you gain more weight than before.

Farkas claims you can eat the foods you want on the LifeSteps program, but in moderation.

"Nothing is forbidden, it's up to you to decide on your favorite food," she said.

One way to keep on track is to write down everything you eat.

Each member receives a notebook that helps to keep track of the foods they ate, why they ate it, and if they were really hungry. The class meets once a week to discuss their problems and successes.

Farkas, who teaches private weight counseling to students and staff at Auraria, said LifeSteps follows the same philosophy as her own, that a diet should be nutritionally balanced and include all four food groups.

This is the first time Auraria has offered something like this.

"Auraria is subsidizing each student $100, so all the student has to pay is $35 for the remaining amount," she said.

Weight Watchers costs $9 a week plus an initiation fee.

Thirty-six people showed up for the first session, which is more than Farkas expected.

Farkas can't take any more people this semester, but there's another program called Change of Heart that deals with behavioral changes in diet, smoking and cholesterol. The program starts February 14.

For more information, call Cynthia Farkas at 556-2525. D

Vietnam to help U.S. in MIA search Mary K. Wagner The Metropolitan

The United States and Vietnam have reached an agreement to conduct a joint search to account for Americans reported missing from the Vietnam War.

The quest, which is supposed to begin by the end of February, has been received with mixed emotions from Vietnam veterans.

"rt is good that they are going to recover all the remains," Dick Ceresko, a Vietnam veteran and director of Colorado's Division of Veteran Affairs stated. "It will help the families of those who died, but I don't think they will recover many."

Ceresko said he believes that most Americans were not lost in Vietnam, but in Laos and Cambodia.

The Department of Defense lists 2,316 people from the United States as missing in action - 41 of those are from Colorado. The larger. original number has dwindled down over the years due. in part, to some of the remains being discovered and because certain MIA have been listed as killed in action. The majority of those MIA were pilots or air crew lost in remote areas of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Since the war ended in 1973, Vietnam has spontaneously sent home remains of Americans. One group of remains was rumored to be dog bones, claims

Charles Dobbs, professor of history and assistant to MSC President Thomas Brewer.

"The families. of course. have a definite interest in getting a true account of what happened to their loved ones," Dobbs remarked, "but I don't hold out a lot of hope, because in the past, the Vietnamese govern­ment has claimed that Laos and Cambodia were separate governments and separate issues and those are the places where the bulk of presumed missing or dead are."

Dobbs, who received his graduate training in U.S. history and East Asian history, also writes about U.S.-East Asian relations. He said he does not believe that there are any MIA alive in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia.

"I know a lot of people who have MIA in their families. They were shot down in the '60s and early '70s; that means they have been missinl! for more than 20 years," Dobbs noted. "If they had harsh treatment, which is likely, if they were tortured. which is likely, they wouldn't be alive today."

Professor Robert Mock, chair of the aerospace department and a Vietnam veteran who served more than one tour of duty as a pilot, said he believes there is still a possibility that some live Americans could be found in East Asia.

"There is a possibility that some MIA can still be found in remote areas. The problem with finding them is the political incon­sistency in the government of Vietnam."

Mock said he believes that Vietnam chose to use the MIA as a political tool against the Americans and that some information was withheld or wrongly given.

"The entire matter of the MIA is a sore wound," believes Dobbs, "a wound that we have to help the American people find a way to deal with. We have to deal with the people who fought it (the war), and the people who didn't fight it."

When and if any remains are discovered in Vietnam, they will be flown to the Central Identification Department in Hawaii. With modern identification technology, most of those recovered will be identifiable. o

Ex-spy brings experiences to Metro State classes

Yvonne Barcewski The Metropolitan

With his silver beard and black cowboy boots and hat, Waldo Copley looks a lot like the country music singer Kenny Rogers, but professionally, he has more in common with the fictional spy James Bond.

In fact, most of the intelligence operations Copley directed were a success. The walls of his Metro office are decorated with numerous certificates of commendation, which are interspersed with pictures of his daughter and two sons.

In 1976, Copley retired from the Air Force and began teaching criminal justice courses at the Community College of Denver and at the Colorado State Patrol Academy.

Copley, 52, who is known informally as Walt, is an assistant professor of criminal justice and criminology at Metro. But from 1955-1976 his job was to help stop espionage and criminal activity directed against United States Air Force and government operations.

"Teaching at the civilian level was just a translation of what I had already been • doing," he said.

As a special agent and chief of technical services for the Air Force, his job involved everything from wiretapping to setting up a covert surveillance operation in a weather­station booth on a street comer.

"I even got to go to Ireland with President Nixon," Copley said. His job in Ireland was to work with the Secret Service to ensure that the president's phone conversations and meeting places were technically secure.

Although Copley's job with the Air Force required a lot of travel and long hours, it wasn't all work and no play. He said that setting up surveillance and counterespionage operations is almost like setting up practical jokes.

"I had so much fun, it's probably against the law," he said.

Things in the spy business do not always go smoothly. When a glitch occurs, it can tum a serious operation into a comedy of errors.

Copley said teaching is just as exciting, fun and rewarding as his job with the Air Force was.

"I like the student contact," he said. "An important part of why I teach is the oppor­tunity to be present when a student makes a breakthrough.

"Besides teaching, the only other thing I might want to do is fly a medium-twin airplane around the Midwest," he said.

Copley has a commercial pilot's license. At one point he had "illusions" of working as a pilot after he retired.

"I found that I didn't have enough experience to get a job," he said. "I don't fly very often anymore. It costs too much to rent a plane. It's hard to justify the cost just to fly around the pea patch."

In May, Copley will lead the MSC Fourth Annual European Police Tour. The tour is an on-site inspection of police agencies

One such incident involved rescuing a burly special agent who fell through the ceiling of an Air Force commissary during a late-night set-up of video surveillance equip­ment.

in Germany, Hungary, Austria and Holland and will include stops in East Berlin and , Czechoslovakia.

Although Copley led the three previous European tours, he said that, because of the recent changes to the political structure of Eastern Europe, the fourth tour will be especially interesting.

"We were trying to catch an employee who, over time, had stolen a million dollars from the commissary's cash register," Copley said. "We had about 45 minutes to rescue the guy, who was straddling a ceiling beam, patch up the hole and get out of there before the commissary employees arrived for work."

"On the past tours, people have been • open and frank in discussions about their lives," he said. "It will be fascinating to talk to the beat officers and others about what the changes mean to them." o

.Symphony thrives in ~Lakewood

Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

Scientists have said one reason people are drawn to music is that the music's beat corresponds to the beating of the heart

For a group of people in Lakewood, not only does this love of music reside in their hearts, but the love of performance as well.

• Their audiences appreciate the combination.

..

.'

The Rocky Mountain Symphony made its debut as the Columbine Orchestra in 1977. Since then, the symphony has seen a number of changes, one of which has been their growing popularity outside of the local community.

The symphony's director, Zina Richard­son, likes that. Described as an innovative "go-getter," Richardson brought with her a background that includes a master's degree in music education and ten years as an orchestra conductor and director before joining the symphony two years ago.

"She's given us support, strength and a positive attitude," said Sue Greenfield, a violinist who has been with the symphony

for four years and was recently appointed as president of the symphony's board of di rec- ' tors.

Greenfield works for a Lakewood financial company, and said that only about a third of the symphony's musicians support , them­selves through music, either as music teachers or private tutors. Most, she said, have other jobs.

"We have a few engineers, one that works for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, someone else who works for the Motor Vehicle Bureau," she said.

And this is all part of the orchestra's philosophy, she said - to provide an opportunity for people to perform, people who have loved music all of their lives, but do not practice it as a profession.

She mentioned one woman who played with them whose hands had been crippled by arthritis: "She enjoyed [performing] and she was very good."

'We have a few engineers, one that works for the U.S. Bureau of Rec­lamation, someone else who works for the Motor Vehicle Bureau.'

Many nationally-known, and now, due to the efforts of two enthusiastic members of the audience, internationally-known artists have performed with the symphony. Sue and Norman Chichester were instrumental in setting up the "Lakewood Sister City Program." It's an inter-cultural music scholar exchange program in which music students from Lakewood live with a British family and study music. A participant is sent from Chester, England to Lakewood, their "sister city," to do the same.

Due to the increasing sire of their audi­ences, the RMS now holds its concerts at Lakewood High School. "We've stayed in the Lakewood community to be a Lakewood community orchestra for all these years,"

Healthy marriages discussed, promoted at Counseling Center

Craig English The Metropolitan

Fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce, and Colorado' s divorce rate is 20 percent higher than the national average.

That's why Dr. Bobbi Vollmer discussed these issues in her "Healthy Relationships" workshop given for Metro students through the MSC Counseling Center.

Vollmer has recently come to the MSC Coun~eling Center from the University of Denver. where she counseled students and gave rela11onsh1p workshops.

In her workshop at Metro. people learn how attra.::tions are formed. ··Feeling a deficient;\ n themselves. people will look for someone 10 fill n 1.e .. a shy person will seek out someone who·~ outgoing:· Vollmer said.

Vollmer cautioned that ··relat1onsh1ps may start in a \\ay that later makes their success problematical. You may have an initial attraction to someone because you like to drink and party with them, only to find out later they have an alcohol problem. You may be repeating a pattern of becoming involved in addictive relationships." she said.

Another topic is myths. Vollmer listed a few: • "I'll be happy only if this relationship

works out," • ··we should never argue or disagree."' • "A relationship will solve my problems."

"Myths create unrealistic expectations," she said.

Bobbi Vollmer and Jeff Reese

"Having healthy role models is important, .... she said. She recalled a woman who had a family pattern of tolerating abusive behavior, alcoholism, marital infidelity- and thinking it was normal.

Vollmer said relationships can sometimes hide a personal issue. -..

"When there's something in ourselves we don't accept, that something causes problems in a relationship. For example, people talk about having confidence. We don't have it in absolute categories; we have it in mixtures. When someone looks for it in someone else, , they avoid their own confidence issue." she said.

To develop healthy relationships. she suggested people drop their absolute stan­dards the shoulds musts, can'ts and have Io's.

··Rather than 'need' a relationship, view it ' as something that enhances your life." she said.

Friendship is essential to a good relation­ship. "How would you treat a good neighbor, a good friend?" she asked.

"Our workshop is open-ended. People pick out what they'd like to talk about that day. They set goals for themselves. They do relaxation and visualization exercises. They learn to takes risks in a safe environment and to get clear about what's important to them." she said.

Workshop participants meet Wednesdays throughout the semester in Central Clas.5-room Room 203 from l 0:30 a.m. to noon. It's free to MSC students. For more infor­mation, call 556-3132. o

SPORTS Hoopers

.. Ice Anchorage

~ David 0. Williams The Metropolitan

The Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves were more like coyotes on Thursday, Feb. 1, as in Wile E. Coyote.

And following a 106-83 drubbing before an Auraria Gymnasium record crowd of 1,380, they must feel like the cartoon coyote, sprawled at the bottom of a cliff while their conference rivals, the Metro State Road­runners (19-2), beep beep from the top.

Passing on their normal diet of birdseed, the Roadrunners feasted on baked Alaska over the weekend of Feb. 3. They followed the Anchorage route with a dominant second half against Alaska-Fairbanks on Saturday that gave them a IO 1-7 6 victory before a crowd of 1,023.

Right now, the Roadrunners must rank right up there with Exxon Valdez Capt. Joseph Hazelwood in Alaska. But across the nation, they rank number four in the latest NCAA Division H poll, climbing two notches from the number six spot.

Anchorage (17-5) has dropped four straight to the 'Runners and fell from the second-ranked spot nationally to a tie for number seven.

Fairbanks (11-9), the defending GNC champs, now trail 4-3 in their series with Metro and have hit on hard times, losing their last eight games.

Fairbanks, however, put up more of a fight than their cross-state rivals. They took advantage of a Metro team that looked flat in the first half, their minds obviously still on the Anchorage game, and led 47-46 at halftime.

"Our heads were still in Thursday's game," acknowledged Gene Edwards, Metro's 6-foot-2-inch scoring sensation.

"Coach Hull told us at halftime that he was going to step out of the room and let us think about it," Edwards said, "and I said let's get it in and we said 1-2-3 defense and we just came out."

Edwards was the catalyst. In the first half Edwards typified the anemic shooting of the Roadrunners, scoring only four points. He scored 18 in the second half and finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and five steals.

Shun Tillman, a 6-foot-7-inch forward, matched Edwards' point total, pulled down nine boards and blocked three shots, but it was Lewis Rhone, playing what Hull called his "best ball game" at Metro, who kept the intensity up even when the rest of the team was resting on its laurels in the first half.

Rhone, a 6-foot-3 forward from George

Washington, finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and two steals.

"My confidence has been increasing as the year goes on," Rhone said. "I think if one person is down then we need somebody to come through and play harder and this enhances our whole team and carries over to where we can all come back and play our natural games."

The Fairbanks victory extended Metro's home winning streak to 21 games dating back to December of 1988, but it was the twentieth win in that streak that was the biggest.

Metro got them down early and never let them back up. Metro never trailed the Seawolves and built a 27-point lead on a Darrell Hite three-pointer at 8:12 of the second half.

Anchorage shot 40 percent for the game and was out-rebounded 56-30. They never looked like the team that beat defending national champs Michigan last year or played Oklahoma relatively tough this year in Norman.

"They were pushing us outside," Hull said, "and when they do that, the inside's open."

It was inside where Tillman ran amok. He scored a career-high 27 points, snatched 11 rebounds, dished out three assists and rejected three shots.

"We came out ready to play and we played our game," Tillman said.

Their game has increasingly become the fastbreak blowout. But unlike the Road­runners of old, this team isn't letting big leads get away from them.

"We're learning to concentrate," Hull said. "Sometimes when you get ahead, you relax mentally and you don't keep your head in the game."

Hull proved to be somewhat prophetic given the team's sluggish performance in the first half of the Fairbanks game, but again, the 'Runners found their focus.

Metro's 19-2, (4-1 in conference play) record is by far their best start ever, but to put things into even greater historical per­spective, the two I 00-plus-point nights against the teams from Alaska marked only the 13th and 14th times in school history that the Roadrunners have scored JOO or more points. Seven of those games have been this year and they're undefeated when they do it.

With their record-breaking win streak at home, the team is feeling good about playing six of their next nine at home. One of those road games is on a neutral court (at Regis against the University of Denver).

The D.U. game is on Friday, Feb. 9, and follows a home game against W estem State, Wednesday, Feb. 7. Then on Sunday, Feb. 11, the Roadrunners host Chaminade Uni­versity (Hawaii). o
