Tivoli Brewery Future hinges on stadium By Bryan Perry The Metropolitan

The plight of Tivoli Denver is as un­certain as ever, although its stock is sure to rise as the decision on the location of the baseball stadium is reached.

The property on which the ailing mall stands is owned by the Auraria Higher Education Center, which has a 62-year lease with Trizec Equities Inc., and Tivoli Brewery Joint Venture, the majority and minority partners in the mall respectively.

Trizec, owner of Larimer Square, also owns a large amount of property sur­rounding the city's proposed Central Platte Valley stadium site.

The site itself, just north of the Tivoli, is owned by railroad baron Philip Anschutz and the city, and it's among five proposed sites that the Metropolitan Denver Major League Baseball Stadium District is considering. A decision will be announced in November, although Denver must rnake an offer to the Major League Expansion Committee by Aug. 31.

Proponents of the Central Platte site say that its selection would greatly enhance the property value of the Tivoli and the surrounding real estate.

Irv Moss, baseball writer for "The Denver Post," called it the "leading site."

Moss added that Anschutz was a big loser in the selection of a convention center site. "Those people (Anschutz

Corp.) are not in the habit of losing," Moss said. Depending on the the baseball decision, the Tivoli is suddenly a very hot property.

Trizec Equities filed a foreclosure ac­tion in Denver District Court against Tivoli Brewery Joint Ventures on June 14, say­ing that TBJV had violated the lease agreement with AHEC that requires that the mall be 75% occupied.

That action led restaurateur Michael McCarty, owner of Adirondacks in the Tivoli, to announce his interest in acquiring the mall. According to a July 17, "Rocky Mountain News" story, McCarty.is.close to making a 13 to $IS million deal to acquire the Tivoli.

Jim Schoemer, the out-going vice president for Administration at Metro, expressed concern about the possibility of someone turning the Tivoli into a "fun house." ·

"That sort oflate-night, early-morning activity creates real problems for us," he said, citing the 22 liquor license violations at EFEX, a club in the Tivoli.

However, since it opened in 1985, the Tivoli has relied more on restaurants and clubs such as Morton's, the Boiler Room and the now-defunct Tijuana Yacht Club for its survival. As a retail center, the Tivoli has been less profitable.

Schoemer structured the lease agree­ment in 1984, at a time when specialty shopping centers were popular in Denver. The agreement calls for a minimum pay­

New garage: pay now, park next spring David 0. Williams The Metropolitan

The benefits of the new Auraria park­ing garage on Seventh Street, such as an easing of what many students and staff consider "nightmarish" parking condi­tions, won't be felt until mid-January.

But the overall parking cost increases that the Auraria Board authorized to pay for the project will be felt immediately. A 25 cent average increase for both the fee Jots and the permit lots went into effect on Aug. 17. The parking garage will end up costing $12.5 million.

"It's not going to totally solve the problems, but it will help considerably," Dean Wolf, director of the Physical Plant, said. Wolf noted that the net gain of avail-

able spaces would be about 1,100 new spots.

The four-level, three-story structure will have 1,726 spaces, but it was built on lots that accommodated about 600 cars.

If it seems that the garage practically sprang from the ground overnight, it nearly did. Ground-breaking was in April and since then progress has been rapid.

"At this time, construction's been ex­cellent, moving along quickly and (with) no major problems," Mark Gallagher, acting head of the parking office, said.

The garage is being paid for by a $21 million bond issue that was authorized by the Auraria Board. The bond, which will also pay for property acquisitions west of campus, will be paid off through the col­lection of parking fees over the next 20 years.

Lisa L. Bohanon The Metropolitan

In addition to all the new faces, new names and new classes this year, the Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver administration will offer a new service to students in the form of the MSCD Student Development Center.

The center is scheduled to open in mid-September and will be lo­cated in the Central Classroom.

The initial reaction of students may be "it's just another program we'll never use," but this center may be different if it's given a chance, according to administra­tion officials.

Manuel Escamitla, assistant to the vice president of Academic Affairs, has high expectations for the center - one of his first assign­ments. Escamilla was hired in the spring of 1990 at a time of unrest among some MSCD minority stu­dents who were feeling alienated by the faculty and administration.

Escamilla sees the center as the first step in a plan to unite Metro students and make all students, regardless of race, feel as if the

campus is their second home. To that end, the state has provided a $175,000 budget for program de­velopment and salaries.

Escamilla recognizes that past treatment of minority students is a major obstacle to his goal of a unified campus. "We are just go­ing to have to try harder," he said.

An attitude of "wanting to help the student instead of having to help ttie student" will make the differ­ence in whether the center will succeed or fail, he said.

The center will have a support

staff and a director (who has yet to be named) and between 20 and 30 student employees. Ten programs designed to enhance student's chances of graduation will be of­fered. Only two of the programs will be aimed specifically at mi­nority students. These are the ten­tatively scheduled programs:

1) Orientation 2) One-stop information center 3) Peer advising 4) Academic advising 5) Tutoring (minority empha sis) 6) Study skills program 7) Cultural activities (minority emphasis) 8) Faculty development (stu dent sensitivity training) 9) Employment skill develop ment (off-campus jobs) I 0) Job training (in-campus jobs) The center is getting mixed re­

views from some of the minority students on campus.

Lisa Calderon, President of the Black Student Alliance, doesn't see the programs the center plans to offer as what's necessary to solve the problems with the MSCD ad­ministration that brought on the

protests and other actions of the BSA and other minorities last se­mester.

Calderon does not want the eth­nic students lumped together un­der one big umbrella. "A staff member of each ethnic group should be on hand to offer services to students of the same group due to the fact that it should be easier for a student to relate to a member of their own race," she said.

" I feel the center is a step in the right direction," she said, "but I have a hard time taking it seriously when the BSA has not been asked for its input on this project."

Leez Stewart, MSCD student and the chair of Academic Re­cruitment and Retention, agreed that in order for the center to work, "there will have to be an obvious change in the approach to minority students."

Stewart said that there "should be a strong effort on the part of the director of the center" to make the center accessible and receptive to all students. Stewart sees the cen­ter as a helpful tool for th-e students ofMSCD. 0

Grand Prix accelerates parking problems Met Staff

The Denver Grand Prix could have an adverse effect on the first day of classes due to the wording of a brochure they released, ac­cording to Auraria parking offi­cials.

Denver crime rankings led by Auraria neighborhood

The Auraria-Lincoln Park neighborhood had the dubious distinction of topping the Denver Police Department's crime rate rankings list for 1989.

There were 354.2 crimes re­ported in Auraria-Lincoln Park for every 1,000 residents, up from 316.8 in 1988. All categories of crimes are included.

Denver officer Paul Griffith, who patrols the neighborhood, told the Rocky Mountain News that the increase is due to gang activity in the North Lincoln Park housing project, citing "a lot of crimes against people."

Sgt. Jim Ferguson of Auraria Public Safety said that 337 crimes were reported on campus in l 989,

trip fare will be $2 from the sports complex and $ l from the Auraria parking facility" for shuttle ser­vice to the race areas.

"We never agreed to any park­ing on campus for the Grand Prix," Connie Besser, Auraria transpor­tation manager, said.

"We certainly have no problem

with people parking here Saturday and Sunday, but we do have a problem with them parking here (Thursday) and Friday," she said.

Besser srud. that officials for the Grand Prix have apologized and said that they meant private park­ing around the campus. There will be free parking at Mile High Sta-

COP SHOP which is low in comparison to the other major college campuses in the state. "We have the best crime for campuses our size," Ferguson said.

Also, Ferguson said he feels it's unfair for Auraria to be Jumped in with the surrounding high-crime neighborhood. "If this campus was considered a separate neighbor­hood, it would have the lowest crime."

There were no rapes and only six assaults reported on campus last year. There were arrests made in four of those six cases.

"Thefts are our biggest prob­lem," Ferguson said. There were 285 thefts (not including motor vehicle) reported last year. Thefts over $200 accounted for 98 of those. Thefts from $50 to $200 accounted for 71 . And there were 116 thefts of property under $50.

Eight motor vehicles were re­ported stolen last year and all eight were recovered. There were 42 car break-ins and, of those, 14 were

thefts of personal property, while 28 were thefts of motor vehicle accessories such as stereos, tapes and hub caps. :J

Emmanuel Gallery withstands time, change Linda Padilla The Metropolitan

The Auraria Higher Education Center may be short on tradition, but many of its buildings are long on history.

One is Emmanuel Gallery. the stone, Romanesque- and Gothic-style building that sits between the library and the Physical Education and Recreation building.

The building. originally the Emmanuel Episcopal Chapel, was built in 1876, the same year that Colorado gained statehood. It is the oldest standing church in Denver, and is listed in the National Register of His­toric Places.

In 1903, the chapel was purchased by the Shearith Israel Congregation and converted to a synagogue which was known as the Tenth Street Shu!. In 1958, the building was pur­chased by artist Wolfgang Pogzeba. He used the building as a studio. where he worked and entertained friends and associates, until 1973.

walls, and the hardwood floors have been polished to a sheen. A staircase leads to the loft, which provides additional exhibit space. A bench has been placed in the center of the room for visitors who wish to sit and con­template.

Each year, the gallery, which is open Monday through Friday. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., has 12 to 13 exhibits. Keller said. Three of the exhibits are reserved for student art from the three schools on campus and three are reserved for faculty art, she said.

The remaining exhibits are for regional artists who are selected by the Auraria Vi­sual Arts Committee, Keller said.

The committee tries to select high qual-

ity, professional art that can be used by the schools' art departments - which fund the gallery - to instruct students, Keller said.

an art gallery serving the Auraria Campus and the community. MSCD ran the gallery until 1981 when AHEC took over its opera­tion, according to Carol Keller, visual arts manager of the gallery.

Susan Josepher, chair of MSCD's art department, said she often holds classes in the gallery. She said she uses the exhibits to illustrate "a technique, a moment in history. an idea, a theme, or how paint is used."

Keller said the gallery also is used by other students on campus and by people from the downtown community. L - -

"Every good university and college has a student gallery," Keller said. "Today, art has become a real communication tool."

The gallery. Keller said, provides an "added dimension for people on campus to enrich their education."

The gallery, which is open only while school is in session, will present an "instal­lation" exhibit beginning August 23, Keller said. Three area installation artists will ere-

Gym expansion back on track, but programs may suffer Dawn Easterly Spelke The Metropolitan

Following a lengthy delay, the $4 million expansion and remodeling project of the Auraria gymnasium is expected to get under way in mid- to late-September.

"This will be a tremendous addition to the campus when it's finished," said Dean Wolf, director of the Physical Plant. Besides remodeling over 30,000 square feet, another 30,500 square feet will be added, doubling the size of the existing structure.

A fall, 1988 referendum allowed for bonds that were issued in March, 1989 to cover the cost of the Auraria Higher Education Center project. The fee is on a cost-per-student basis that requires each student to pay the same amount regardJess of which school they attend.

The entire project should be completed by July, 1991. However, if all goes well, the gym, the new semi-automatic seating for approximately 2,200 fans, and the improved locker room facilities should be available by the middle of January.

That date represents a one- to two-month delay due in part to problems with the con­struction bidding process. AHEC had origi­nally budgeted $4,067 ,500, but the lowest bid came in at $4,531,000, leading to a restructuring of the proposal to trim some of the costs and a re-bidding process.

ers. Maximum capacity was about 1,500 and seating will be increased to almost 3 ,000.

How will the construction affect the fan base? "Adversely," Bill Helman, MSCD athletic director, said. "We know we'll lose a lot of fans."

But, according to Helman, the second half of the season is when most of the fans come out aqd, by then, the Roadrunners should have a home court once more.

In addition, the men's team has a 27-game, home-court winning streak going. "It's a factor. Having a home court makes a difference," Helman said.

The Roadrunners made the Division II playoffs last year, but lost their bid to have the North Central regional playoffs held in Denver, due in part to "inadequate" facili­ties.

In planning for the construction, most classes held in the gym will be flexible with regard to space. Those classes include dance, golf, volleyball, ten­nis and racquetball. Even during the remod­eling, some space in the gym will be avail­able for use.

Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, said, "Everyone is aware it will be a difficult year." He added that the origi­nal facility was designed for instructional purposes, not inter-collegiate functions.

In addition to expanded athletic uses, Feuerborn sees the event center's potential for hosting concerts, events and even com­mencement ceremonies. "We're committed to it," Feuerborn said.

New garage to help ease parking shortage The garage, barring unforeseen difficul­

ties, should come in under budget and on time. Early January is the completion date and, though there will be a two-week "test­ing" period, the garage should be ready to go by spring semester, officials said.

"We are still within our budget," Wolf said. "We 'II keep our fingers crossed that we stay that way."

At $2 daily. the cost of parking in the garage will be the same as the increased rates for the close-in lots - lots H and R. Lots L and M, both permit lots during the day , will also be $2 after 5 p.m.

Debit card machines are being added to lots D and H also, and though there is no discount for using the cards, it is expected the system will save time.

"We expect that, at$1.25, the shuttle will be self-supporting," Gallagher said.

New competition for MSCD Metro joins in-state athletic conference Jeff Hamrick The Metropolitan

Metro State's athletic programs will be part of a new era in Colorado athletics this fall when the Colorado Athletic Conference begins competition.

The conference consists of the follow­ing teams: Air Force (women's programs only), Colorado Christian, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, University of Denver, Regis College and University of Southern Colorado as well as Metro. In addition, Fort Lewis College has been granted admission forthe 1991-1992 school year.

The CAC has been accepted by the NCAA as a Division II conference, but must serve a two-year probation period before qualifying for an automatic berth in post-season tournaments.

However, Metro already held Division II status and will be able to qualify forpost­season tournaments as an independent. University of Denver, Regis and Air Force women's programs fall in the same category, but the other four schools did not hold Division II status before joining the con­ference.

Denver sports talk-show host Irv Brown was named the first commissioner of the CAC in October. Brown has diverse expe­rience in athletics-most of it locally-as a player, coach, referee and broadcaster.

Metropolitan State College of Denver Athletic Director Bill Helman said there are many benefits of joining the CAC. Not the least of which is more local competi­tion, he said.

"It could happen now that people will get in to see us compete against conference teams," be said. "It will also be easier on the students and easier on the budget people."

The CAC is negotiating with an uniden­tified cable television network for a televi­sion contract for coverage on the local level.

"We're working on having a (basket­ball) game of the week," Helman said. "And if anyone can do it, Irv (Brown) can. In terms of promoting the conference, he has some great contacts."

Helman also thinks the level of compe­tition will be strong.

"This should be a prime conference for sending a top-notch school to the (national) playoffs," he said. 0

With tensions building in the Middle East following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent build­up of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, The Metropolitan asked Auraria students how they felt about President Bush sending troops into the region.

Christopher Lix, 22, CU-D "Uncalled for -- the whole situ­

ation. I think it's thoroughly irre­sponsible, in the first place, that the president sent troops over there be­fore clearing Americans out of the place. And now he's gotten us into this whole hostage situation."

Ricardo Flores, 39, MSCD ''I'm kind of right in the middle.

There's always a question of why the U.S. is always policing the world. I'm not totally in favor of sending troops there."

Junko Ogawa, 25, MSCD "The soldiers are very brave,

because they don't have to go there. Why do they go? For peace? Presi­dent Bush is doing a good job for the world."

Linda·Renner, 36, (and son Danny, 3) MSCD

"It's frightening, but I do agree. I'm afraid, as far as what it might present, as far as war. I think we need to take our stand with them."

Kevin James, 28, MSCD " ... Folks really need to look at

the fact that (Saddam) Hussein is a dictator and you don't want a dicta­tor governing all the oil in the world. I'd kick butt, man. Let's get the party started."

Pamela Flenoid, 27, CU-D "I feel that Saudi Arabia, since

we have such a close relationship with that country, I think they do need some support."

Where can I get a copy-quick-here on campus?

Julie Yoakam, 20, MSCD "It's stupid. I think it 's going to

be just like Vietnam. We don't have any right to be over there."

Rasoul Kazemi, 31, CU-D "Any kind of enforcement mili­

August 24, 1990 THE METROPOLITAN

Remodeling completion centralizes services John Sass The Metropolitan

The drywall dust is beginning to settle, the spaghetti-like ganglia of exposed elec­trical wire is being bound and secured, and a general cleanup effort is underway as the remodeling project in the Central Classroom Building of the Auraria Campus draws to an end.

Nothing remarkable here unless one con­siders the fact that this one of those all-too­rare instances of a job being completed on time and within budget allowances.

David Moore, executive director of Aca­demic Assessment and Support Center is eagerly awaiting the return to "business as usual."

"The reconfiguration of the offices and the elimination of a number of the windows that once lined the interior hall of the build­ing should help make the area much more visually appealing," said Moore.

''The preparations forthe renovation have been going on for over a year. The actual work started in May and will be finished by the middle of August. The people of the AHEC Physical Plant that did the hands-on work did one heckuva job. They can cer­tainly be proud of the work they did here."

Moore explained that the reason for the renovation was to bring the services most required by incoming students under one roof. Prior to this consolidation, different services were spread among several build­ings. With the centralization of services comes an ease of operation that, until now, has been missing.

The lighting system has been improved as has the office designation system, with signs suspended from the ceiling perpen­dicular to the office each denotes.

Moore said that the new arrangements should result in a less intimidating, friend­lier atmosphere that will beckon students rather than put them off.

"We're trying to make a positive impres­sion on our prospective students," said Moore. "A lot of thought went into this renovation. We used feedback from many people to arrive at what we believe to be the most effective use of the space we have."

According to Jim Fasano, Physical Plant manager of construction and maintenance, "The project was a real challenge. The men had to work around the everyday activities of the people who occupy the building. What really helped smooth out this part of

the operation was that all the managers of the different departments housed in the building were a joy to work with. We all worked together to accommodate each other and it worked out real well."

"The Physical Plant craftsmen, meaning the electricians, the carpenters and so on, have always looked forward to challenges like this. As a matter of fact, we feel that we may be able to do a little bit better job than an outside contractor in some areas because we know that we are going to have to live with the finished product. Because of this, we are liable to put in that bit of extra effort that insures repairs down the road will be minimal."

The occupants of the building are in the process of putting together a new directory which will list the telephone numbers and the locations of the various offices. 0

Cycling popularity makes steady uphill climb David Heacock The Metropolitan

There was LeMond, crouched over his aero bars, sprinting down the Champs Elysees; a skinny geek named Pee Wee, wearing grey flannel and lipstick and riding a vintage Schwinn pimpmobile; cops with radar guns ticketing two-wheeled perpetra­tors on the road of Washington Park and police patrolling the boulevards of Seattle on mountain bikes. Who would have thought bicycling would get this big?

90 million Americans rode bikes last year, according to "Bicycling Magazine." And they sent more than $3 billion on l million new bikes, along with the helmets, shoes, cyclocomputers and Day-Glo lycra that go with them.

Mountain bikes are hot and getting hot­ter. While annual sales of lightweight ten­speed-type road bikes have slumped from about 5 million to 4 million in the past five years, mountain bike sales have skyrock­eted from 800,000 to more than 3 million. And the buyers aren't just off-road dudes. Madonna rides a mountain bike (wow). In Europe, mountain bikes are now as hip as blue jeans, and even Italy's traditional Campagnolo has introduced a mountain bike "gruppo." In terms of dollars, American mountain bike sales last year matched those of ten-speeds and BMXs combined.

On fat tires or skinny, the cyclist of 1990 is serious. "Outside Magazine" said that 3 million people ride to work every day; nearly

200,000 raced last year. A guy in New Jersey rides 50,000 miles a year-that is 37 miles a day, seven days a week - and is aiming for a million miles by 1995.

You want hardcore? A recent poll by "Bicycling Magazine" revealed that 25 per­cent of its readers would give up sex before bicycling.

Nearly half of the high-mileage riders said they prefer cycling to sex. The mind bonks.

And, well, the stuff people wear. "Cy­cling clothes" used to be whatever you wore while riding a bicycle - sneakers, cut-offs and a tee-shirt. Nowadays bike messengers in New York dress like Greg LeMond. Your balding, 50-year-old neighbor dresses like Greg LeMond. The fashion magazine "W" said that mountain biking is officially "out." But "somebody" dropped $609 million on fluorescent Lycra in 1988, a sum sufficient to acquire a Stealth bomber.

Fortunate! y, our best scientific minds are thinking about more than skin-tight shorts. They're thinking about what will make a difference in the look and feel of the average bicycle. The same guys who were diddling with titanium in 1975 will probably be diddling with metal-matrix composites in 1995, and it won't mean diddly to 99.9 percent of us. The meaningful innovations are simply good ideas, like index shifting, gel seats, clip less pedals, triathlon-style aero handlebars and aluminum frames. Plenty of silly for-technology's-sake gizmos are still out there. But somebody finally figured out that a couple hundred bucks worth of tech-

Cycling is becoming more popular on campus as gas prices soar and parking spaces disappear. nology might be better spent on improving comfort and convenience than on shaving an ounce and a half from the frame.

American bike racing what Franz Klammer' s 1976 downhill run did for alpine skiing.

This is well and good. But some wonder whether bicycling is taking itself too seri­ously these days. Do we really need Trump, lime7sherbet shorts and $1,500 three-pound carbon-fiber frames? Well that50,000-rnile­a-yearguy in New Jerseydoesn'tneedthem. He wears a grey sweatshirt and running shoes and rides a 49-pound Schwinn with three air horns. 0

For the other 0.1 percent of very serious riders, things are picking up as well. After the demise of the Coors Classic, American racing badly needed a rejuvenation, and it got it from His Ostentatiousness himself. The Tour de Trump was a media success, despite hype, foul-ups and wrong turns. Then came LeMond's improbable third vic­tory in Paris last July, which may do for

OP/ED Plank provides helpful hints:

Surviving in Auraria's scary areas Dave Plank

Well, howdy. Welcome back. Now that we're all doing this school thing again,

there may be some things you need to know about the campus, things you may have forgotten after a sum­mer spent sipping daiquiris and swinging in hammocks, or things you maybe never learned at all because this is your first time here.

Well, you've come to the right place. First things first - if you used to park at the Tivoli,

you can pretty much forget it now. They're using some kind of weird parking system over there in which you're charged $1.75 to park in the lot nearest the Student Union, but your $1.75 is only good until 11 a.m., after which you need to pay again, I think. Actually I'm not really sure how it works. Just forget it. They started doing this last spring, and they're going to keep doing it, hoping to make some money, until the Tivoli com­pletely bottoms out and becomes the world's biggest HUD home (which won't be long now, if the bouncers at EFEX keep cruising the dance floor, randomly picking out drunk customers and using them for ass­kicking practice).

Speaking of being used for ass-kicking practice, stay away from the first floor of the Central Classroom

CORRECTIONS

In the May 4 issue of The Metropolitan, in the "Friends planttree in prof's memory," Edward Zuniga was incorrectly referred to as a Mascarro Apache rather than Mescalero Apache.

In the July 13 issue of The Metropolitan new vice president of Academic Affairs, David Warren Wil­liams was introduced as David Wallace Williams.

In the July 13 issue of The Metropolitan in the News briefs Rosemary Fetter was referred t9 as executive vice president of MSCD Administration. Her correct title is publications specialist for Auraria Higher Education Center.

The Metropolitan regrets these errors.

LETTERS POLICY

The Metropolitan will encourages submission of letters to the editor and guest editorials on relevant and timely topics.

All submissions must be typed or submitted on Macintosh compatible disks.

Libelous or offensive material will not be pub­lished.

Letters must include the name, title, school and phone number of the author.

Letters may be printed with name withheld only if they are signed on submission. The editor must verify the identity of every author.

Letters may be brought to The Metropolitan office in Student Union room 156, or mailed to campus box 57.

For additional information, call The Metropolitan off ice at 556-8361 .

until about Halloween. That's where all the tuition and admissions and records windows are. If you need anything from there, call and have them mail it to you. If they ?ay they won't, tell them you know where their moms live. lfthatdoesn'twork, tell them you're sending MSCD student body president/wanna-be Antichrist Dan Holden over to talk to them about students' rights. That should do the trick. If it doesn't, I don't know what to tell you. It worked for me when I needed a Gradu­ation Agreement form.

Food is sort of a problem around here. It used to be, a long time ago, that if the food in the Student Union cafeteria got your bile boiling you could just go to the Mercantile on the Ninth Street Park and eat something real. But then the company that runs the cafeteria took over the Mercantile. Now it's just like the cafeteria, but with plants and an outside dining area where you can feed the squirrels (and vagrants) that hang around looking for something to eat. Some of the squirrels will do tricks. So will some of the vagrants but, as you probably can imagine, they're not the same tricks.

Anyway, now there's a Subway sub shop across Colfax from the campus, and a Burger King and some other stuff. Stay away from the school cafeteria unless you're into nausea and chills.

Stay away from the bookstore unless you 're into those things, too. Try going to used book stores to find your textbooks. There are a couple of words for what

goes on in the bookstore around this time of year, and they sound a lot like "price gouging." If you do decide to shop there, though, you can help yourself through the sticker shock by thinking about how many new people Auraria can hire to give out parking tickets with your former money.

Well, let's see. We've covered parking, food, books - what else do you need to know?

You need to know about entertainment, that's what. The friendly folks in·the Student Activities offices of all three schools have spent all summer thinking up things you can do to wile away the hours between classes. That's not an easy job on an urban campus. So this year there will be timed car- and bicycle­stripping contests, featuring hint sessions from the nearby professionals that made Auraria/Lincoln Park the most crime-ridden neighborhood in Denver for the second straight year.

The word from above is that if the contests prove successful, we'll have track and field events come spring. Ever seen a 4 x100 relay run using a purse instead of a baton? Here's to the campus administra­tion for drawing on the Auraria neighborhood's great­est asset - its people.

So there it is. Really, all you need to get by on this campus is a lunch from home, a bus pass and a big can of mace. Unless you end up having a class with Dan Holden.

Better make that two cans.

LETTERS Discrimination wrong in every form

Editor, I agree with the proposal for an intercultural studies

class. I am a senior in the social welfare department and I see a strong need to know something about other cultures. How can I even begin to help someone if I know nothing about their culture? We do have a required course in this department called cross-cultural social welfare services, but it just barely touches the surface. I came out of the class knowing there are different ways of helping people of other cultures. I am now more aware, but I still don't know anything about other cultures.

I also agree with the idea of including gay and lesbian studies in this proposed class. I am gay myself and the ignorance is unbelievable. Why anyone would think we "choose" the discrimination and prejudice

inherent with our life-style is beyond me. A human services class called "counseling the gay/

lesbian substance abuser" was offered this summer. As a class, we learned that most minorities, including gay and lesbian people, basically want the same thing. If this minority experience is true, then why do those in minority groups treat gays the way they do? Why do women, blacks, Hispanics, disabled, etc., and even gays themselves discriminate against people like themselves? There are good and bad apples in every barrel, but to label a race or culture as something to be feared because of one person is ridiculous. How can we even.think we can help anyone while holding on to prejudice?

It would be easy, at this point, to conjure images of the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, the United States Marine Corps band playing the Star Spangled Banner under a proudly flying American flag, before the first game of the World Series. But it may simply dev~lue them knowing that MSCD Administration has rejected the freedoms enjoyed elsewhere in the coun­try.

And since it would be too much to hope that admin­istration would feel a twinge of guilt (with more than 17,000 George Washingtons unable even to face them) and explain how this could have happened, all those who wonder about this should call their favorite administrator and ask.

President Thomas Brewer should be asked why his administration decided not to honor the 203-year-old American right to choose. Especially to choose how their money is spent. Educators are supposed to be getting more "accountable" anyway.

To facilitate this portion of the democratic process, Dr. Brewer's office phone number is 556-3022. If you don't have a phone, or you have some time to kill between classes - provided you can get to campus with the Grand Prix nightmare closing in - try knock­ing on doors on the third floor of Central Classroom Building. Most of the MSCD administrator-type people hang-out there. If you are still feeling unsatisfied, perhaps your friendly new student body president will take time out from planning parties to represent stu­dent interests.

Outstanding graduate overcomes adversity Mary Anderson The Metropolitan

Three months before enrolling at Metro, she was living on the streets with a needle in her arm.

She had lost her house, business, family, friends, most of her eyesight and even her beloved cats. Court-ordered rehabilitation couldn ' t turn her around.

A nearly fatal overdose did. Six years after hitting that rock-bottom

low, Hale is riding high on the crest of an academic wave of recognition. She gradu­ated this August with a 3.9 grade point average and received three of the school 's Outstanding Student A wards.

Aside from the President's Award -- the most prestigious honor bestowed on a graduating senior -- Hale's two other dis­tinctions recognize her as an academic achiever under special circumstances and challenges.

She is legally blind. A degenerative dis­ease has reduced her vision to "seeing in a blurry donut with blind spots." She also suffers from bouts of immobilizing arthritis.

While acknowledging that she has over­come many obstacles caused by her condi­tion, Hale, 40, quickly pointed out that a "Rocky Mountain News" article misquoted her. The reporter wrote that she said "I am differently disabled."

'Tm differently abled," she emphasized. "There's a big difference. I can do every-

thing that you can do. You might drive, I take the bus. We get to the same place."

Lighting another cigarette, Hale talked about an incestuously abusive family life that caused her to flee from her home at age 16.

That abuse has ended now, she explained. "When I was shooting (drugs), I was re­pressing those feelings. I'm in control of my life now," she said.

Hale's interior decorating displayed an interest in almost every imaginable cause, her involvement centers on helping others plagued by the same afflictions as herself.

She works with female convicts, the disabled, incest and domestic violence vic­tims, addicts and a variety of women's rights organizations.

She hadn't even realized herself how much volunteer work she had been doing until she actually listed them all when ap­plying

Hale's road to recognition wasn't always smooth. Her casual attitude about returning to school after a Jong absence belies years of determination spent earning her degree in Human Services.

When prodded, Hale admitted that school at Metro was, at first ,confusing. "My mind was still fogged because of the drugs. I had to read the same thing over and over again just to understand it," she said. "lt was hard to learn how to learn."

its due to flare-ups. Disregarding the setbacks, Hale said, she

took her education one semester at a time. "I couldn't imagine five or six years of school. I always told myself that I had to finish just this semester."

She generously credits several teachers with giving her support, acting as role mod­els, and teaching her that women can be strong.

"Still, at times it was overwhelming. I felt like I couldn't do it," Hale recalled.

But when she got -into a slump, Hale said, she would just look at how far she had already come and know anything was pos­sible, an attitude she also expresses about the future.

Hale must face the possibility of losing her eyesight completely. "It's a scary pros­pect, but I know I can adapt. I feel pretty much that everything is within reach," she said.

She also concedes that some days she is "mad as hell" about her vision.

Hoping for a better future, Hale recently began acupunctur~ for her arthritis. " It's really exciting. This is the most pain- free I've been in years," she said.

She hopes to attend the University of Colorado at Denver's graduate program in counseling.

"I lived when I shouldn ' t have," she said. "So there is something real special about my life. And I believe in miracles."

PEOPLE

Prof finds USSR dismal, degenerating Jiii Peterson The Metropolitan

Brooks Van Everen, history professor and coordinator for the London Semester Program at Metropolitan State College of Denver, recently returned from the Soviet Union. He was in the Soviet Union twice before, in 1983 and 1985.

Upon returning to the country this year, Van Everen saw a lot of changes, a few for the better, but most for the worse.

"It was very depressing and very dis­couraging in Russia," Van Everen said. "The people looked tired and beat up upon. The buildings and streets looked tired, they have not been taken care of." The roads in Mos­cow had so many potholes that it took about an hour to drive what would normally have taken about twenty minutes, he said.

One of the great changes in the Soviet Union is the flourishing black market. "Ev­erywhere you go people are selling Soviet watches, wooden boxes and dolls," Van Everen said. "They will only sell their goods forhard currency. No one cares about rubles." There is a law in the Soviet Union that will only allow citizens to hold a certain amount of hard currency.

"We saw a man being taken away by the

pol ice for having too much hard currency one morning. Later that afternoon, we saw him back on the street trying to exchange money," Van Everen said. "We went and asked him how he got out of the arrest and he told us that he had paid the police 50 rubles to let him go. He said that he always has enough rubles to pay the police off."

One of the things Van Everen noticed that had changed for the better was the revival of the church. "There is a lot of energy being returned to the church," he said. "There is more activity around those places. They arerestoring monasteries, par­ticularly in Moscow and Kiev."

There is also a kind of open market. "People are selling things on the streets, like vegetables, art and jewelry. That wasn't there before," Van Everen said. "Little co­ops selling goods and services have popped up. In Lithstonia I bought some amber jew­elry from a privately owned store." These kinds of changes generate optimism in the people, Van Everen said.

During his stay in the Soviet Union Van Everen talked with a man whom one of his student's had met in a cafe. The student encouraged the men to meet with each other. Van Everen called the man . "I felt kind of awkward because I was calling someone I didn't know to set up a time to go and talk,"

he said. They met later that afternoon. The man took Van Everen to a place where they could talk in private and be safe to talk freely. Van Everen found out that the man was Alexander Gromov and that he was a lawyer. "He was a fairly high-paid, highly placed official," Van Everen said. "He and his family lived in a 'safe' residential area outside of Moscow. He felt that his family was not safe, that there was too much street crime, too much organized crime, which he referred to as the mafia. He was very dis­pleased with the lawless procedures. The mafia has criminals outside and inside the system," Van Everen said.

"I asked Alexander ifhe thought that the Russian people would have the patience to see them through another five years," Van Everen said. "He said that he wasn't sure they could see through the economic and political changes that are occurring." Gromov told Van Everen that he would like to come visit the United States. Van Everen is going to talk with the president of MSCD to see if they can come up with the funding to have Gromov stay here for a few days.

Other things that Van Everen noticed while in the Soviet Union were the nostalgia for Nicholas II. "There was a lot of art on the street of Nicholas. Most of the buildings in Russia are from the czar's people," Van Everen said.

"There are petitions being circulated in Leningrad to rename the city St. Petersburg. Everything there is Peter the Great."

Though there have been some positive changes in the Soviet Union since Van Everen last visited, the bad still outweighs the good. The despair, the cynicism and the lack of trust are what sticks in his mind, he said.

"A funny thing happens when you are there and you see the drunkenness, apathy and bad housing - the things that a text book can't prepare you for. As a historian, I am more concerned with the problems there today and I wonder how it got. that .way," Van Everen said. "I pay more attention to the present than I did before." 0

Team sports force.d to relocate off-campus Met Staff

Metro State's women's volleyball and men's basketball teams have been forced to find a home away from home for their games this fall.

The teams will make their temporary homes at Regis College and the University of Denver. Colorado Christian College has also been mentioned as a possible site for Metro home games.

The women's team is scheduled to use the gym for its first three games on Sept. 1, 19 and 20, with construction work sched­uled to begin Oct. 1.

The $4.7 million project will add rac-

quetball courts, expand the weight room, upgrade office areas and refurbish locker rooms. Also, a ticket sale and concession area will be added to the lobby.

In the gymnasium, a wood floor will replace the current rubber surface, lighting in the gym and dressing areas will be up­graded and a semi-automatic bleacher sys­tem will be installed.

The work on the bleachers and floor should finish by mid-January or early Feb­ruary at the latest, said Dick Feuerborn, campus recreation director.

"We know the impact it (construction) has on the athletes as well as the human performance classes, so we know we need to get in and out as quickly as possible," he

said. The men's basketball team, which will

practice at recreation centers, will also play at Regis and DU and head coach Bob Hull said he is hoping that playing away from Auraria will not hamper fan support.

While the gymnasium renovation will mean more work for all involved, Hull wasn't too excited about having to wait another year for the gym to be finished.

Those involved with the project point to several advantages the school will reap, notably an improved indoor athletic facility.

"We know it will be difficult this fall," Feuerborn said. "But when the final project is finished, we feel people will be pleased. "O

Chris Caylor Sports Editor

Back in July, former Metro State basket­ball stars Shun Tillman and Gene Edwards each signed free agent contracts with the Denver Nuggets. They seemed like longshots from the start, but with all the changes the Nuggets have made recently, their chances seemed better than average.

On the other hand, the Nuggets had just drafted Chris Jackson and Marcus Liberty, a point guard and a small forward. Unfortu­nately, Edwards plays point guard and Tillman plays small forward. Their chances weren't so bright after all.

As you might expect, neither made it past the rookie camp.

Tillman broke the fifth metatarsal (little toe) on his left foot, ending his rookie camp after just two days. Edwards was cut on the last night of the camp, which lasted a week.

So where do both men go from here? The next logical step would be checking into playing in Europe or the Continental Bas­ketball Association. That's the route

. Edwards seems to be taking, but Tillman's is a little different.

"I'll be at Metro this fall to finish my degree," he said. ''I'll be in my cast for about another month, then I have to start rehab."

Tillman had to have surgery on his foot and he now has a small screw in his toe. He's been laid up for nearly a month, and he laughed when asked what he's been doing lately.

" I 've been reading a lot," he said. "Hopefully, I'll be playing by November."

Then. he said, he plans to check into getting a tryout with a CBA team.

He described the experience of playing for the Nuggets, even for such a short time, as "'exciting."

''The atmosphere of playing for a pro team was great,'' he said. "I just wish

it could have lasted longer." Edwards has been out of town for the last

two weeks, trying to find a place to play pro ball this season. He could not be reached for comment, but Tillman said Edwards would rather play in Europe than the CBA.

Nuggets scout Rob Babcock said he recommended that Edwards play in the CBA. He also said Edwards has NBA potential.

"(Edwards) needs to work on his game, sharpen his skills and make his game more wel I-rounded," Babcock said. "He has good instincts and he could be a good guard in the NBA, once he gets some experience."

Despite Tillman's success at Metro (he holds several MSCD basketball records), Babcock said he doubts Tillman can play in the NBA.

"Shun has the potential, but he's at that odd height (6 feet 7 inches) that pro teams aren't sure what to do with him," Babcock said. "He's too small to be an effective forward and his game just isn't suited to playing guard. And, like Gene (Edwards), he's very competitive, but he needs to work on his game some more."

He added that the Nuggets organization would assist both in trying to catch on with a CBA team.

If Edwards or Tillman were to play in the CBA, it wouldn't be for the money. CBA players earn about $2,000-3,000 per month and the season lasts five months.

Tillman said he doesn't want to think of his injury as a "shattered toe-shattered dreams" type of thing. In fact, it will help him in the long run.

"It's helped me value more than playing ball," he said. ''I'm also learning about work ethic, which is important."

He also said he doesn't plan on giving up his dreams of an NBA career and he knows Edwards hasn't either.

"We just gotta work hard and hope it pays off," he said.

Even if they don't stick with a-pro team some day, at least they were good enough to get a shot at the big time. That's more than most of us will ever get. 0
