Death of Prime Minister shocks Auraria; many express worry about peace process Igor Raykin Ray Zanko The ME1ROPOLITAN

Words of shock and dismay echoed throughout the campus this week in the wake of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Yigal Amir, a 27-year-old Jewish law student, confessed to shooting Rabin :{ive times, saying God told him to do it. Rabin was leaving a peace rally in Tel .Aviv Saturday when he was shot.

Rabin, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, faced criticism from many Israelis after signing a peace agreement last year with the Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.

Rabin's death has left many speculat­ing about what will happen to the fragile Palestinian-Israeli peace.

"It's gone too far to turn around," said Akbarali Thobhani, Director of International and Intercultural Education at Metro. "It may become more difficult, but I believe it will continue."

Ajayi Harris, a Metro political-science major, agrees. "I think the peace process will continue now by virtue of the fact that it is bigger now than Rabin or Arafat," he said.

Leila Sultan, a Metro social-work major who grew up in Kuwait, said things could be worse. "It's terrible it happened at all, but I was kind of relieved it wasn't the Palestinians who did it," she said. 'That would have made things even worse."

Some argue Rabin's death poses

Peres, 73, who is the Israeli Foreign Minister and shared the Nobel Peace Prize

with Rabin and Arafat in 1994, has been appoint­

ed the interim prime m1mster. Peres could either form a a serious threat to

peace regardless of who did the killing.

do, as comrades, as friends but to con­tinue along a great road paved by our Al Reddy, a

staff member at the Auraria library, said that the death of Rabin deals a severe blow to Palestinian-Israeli peace.

"In the short term, the sentiment will probably go with peace, but in the long run I think the problems run a lot deeper," he said. "I don't think that those problems are

expressed the same sense of sadness that reverber­

ated throughout the world this week. Alisa Padilla, a Metro history major, said, "It's a shame, a Jew killing another Jew. It's very sad to kill for something like that."

Attaining peace focus of forum Ray Zanko The METROPOLITAN

The United World Peace Symposium assembled at the Tivoli Turnhalle Tuesday to address global problems during a week that was punctuated by violence and mourning.

The symposium was sponsored by the Metro Political Science Association which hosted six guest speakers who tackled global peace issues from both a humanis­tic and political standpoint.

"We are all ambassadors for peace," said Eulease Yokum, the moderator who opened the discussion. "We need to embrace peace in our lives, our communi­ties, and throughout all countries in the world."

'There are millions of people in the world living in subhuman conditions," said Ali Zarrin, an assistant professor of English at RegisUniversity.

"These people desperately need change in their lives and those with power are not willing to grant change or even rec­ognize these people, Zarrin said. "We expect them to live in subhuman condi­tions and still act civilized.

"See how you'd behave if you imposed harsh conditions on yourself for a few days," he said. "Basically, you'd have to be Jesus Christ to go on fasting for 40 days."

In addition to the humanistic approach to peace called for by Zarrin, other speakers emphasized communica­tions and the role of the United Nations.

PEACE, PLEASE: Ved Nanda, a University of Denver law professor, speaks about world peace at a symposium in the Tivoli Turnhalle on Tuesday.

Community Relations Service, said listen­ing skills are crucial in building coalitions. When different coalitions form, they are mainly concerned with getting their ideas across and not what other groups have to say, Reed said.

"No matter what background we come from, that group - that person -wants others to hear what they are saying, but don't listen to other ideas," Reed said.

Other speakers said the U.N. is also important for effective international com­munications.

Ved Nanda of the University of Colorado-Denver, declared support for the

United Nations, stating its importance as a peacekeeping organization for the world. He said the U.N. is a vital organization that enables warring countries to find breathing room during negotiations to find some common ground.

With representatives of Sen. Hank Brown and Rep. Pat Schroeder in atten­dance, Nanda urged the United States to pay its $1.4 billion dollar payment to the United Nations.

"We need to pay up," he said.

Kristy Frei and Amanda Hannie con­tributed to this story.

said: "It's unfortunate for that to happen to someone who is fighting for peace among so much chaos, but sometimes it takes extreme things to happen for people to realize how far you need to go to achieve peace. Hopefully, his death won't be in vain."

Rabin now joins the list of peace advocates who have fallen victim to assas­sins' bullets.

"It seems that people throughout his­tory - like Martin Luther King - who are trying to do good, get assassinated," said Dawn Jacub, a Metro Aviation major.

President Clinton, who eulogized Rabin as a "martyr for peace" joined pres­idents, kings and prime ministers from 80 countries at Rabin's funeral Monday. After the ceremony, a host of diplomats went to the King David Hotel for a series of meet­ings on how to shape the future without Rabin.

Metro sociology professor Martha Shwayder, who is Jewish, said she was affected personally. "I am tired of seeing the war over there," she said. "I don't see any solutions without the Palestinians hav­ing a homeland."

Three experts on right-wing extremist groups will be on campus Nov. 16 to discuss the growing pres­ence of racism in America.

One of the speakers will be Floyd Cochran, a former high-rank­ing member of the Aryan Nation. He became an opponent of racism when he was told that his son, born with a cleft palate, would have to be eutha­nized if white supremacists rose to power, according to an interview in the May/June 1994 issue of Mother Jones magazine.

Romer lends. helping hand Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN

Newborn children will be guided into their first three years of life by a program designed to benefit infants.

Bright Beginnings began as an idea presented by Gov. Roy Romer in his January State of the State Address. Romer launched the program at the Auraria Child Care Center last Thursday before a crowd of about 50 people.

"The way we raise our children today will judge the future of Colorado," Romer said.

Bright Beginnings is a pilot program taking place in several metro Denver neighborhoods, which will expand statewide by Jan. 1, 1996.

Romer said the program will focus on newborns through three-year-olds because these are the most crucial years of a child's life.

The first year is heavily focused on because the experiences i.n childrens' infancy shapes their lives, Romer said.

The program focuses on two key areas: a "Wann Welcome" program for all children born in Colorado, and quality child care.

Help for teen parents and their infants is also a part of the program.

· "War~ Welcome" will consist of home visits to parents with a newborn child. The program gives parents access to a trained volunteer visitor who will pro­vide them with information critical to all new parents. Appropriate prenatal care is also part of the information provided.

Quality child care is expected to be integrated into the program by 1997 and will ensure that all parents of children up

to three years of age have access to quality child care by including at least two meals per day plus snacks and providing a clean, safe environment for children.

Teen parents will have access to child-care facilities while they are in school, enabling them to acquire the education and training they need to further themselves.

The program is com­munity and volunteer­based and no governmen­tal money is being used.

"This is not a gov­ernmental program," Romer stressed. "This is a group of partners work­ing together."

Funding for the pro­gram has been raised by Romer and many of those

. of Bright Beginnings and retired chairman of Procter & Gamble; Tom Norton, Colorado senator and vice chairman of the effort; Barbara O'Brien, president of the Colorado Children's Campaign and Rev. Gwen Peters of the New Hope Baptist Church in Denver.

Romer said the group raised $500,000 and hopes to raise an additional $500,000 by the time the program is initiated statewide.

All newborns in Colorado will be given the opportunity to be part of the pro­gram, Romer said. He added that if parents

do not desire to participate it is their option.

"We are just trying to assist in the par­enting," Romer said.

Butler said ·that the founding of the Auraria Child Care Center is an example of what's possible if the community works together.

"Before I die, I would like to see Colorado be a state where every infant gets as much care as Klondike and Snow," Butler said.

Romer said the program will apply to all newborns whether they're born at home or in a hospital.

CoPIRG loses space in Tivoli Steve Titus The METROPOLITAN

CoPIRG is being kicked out of the Tivoli Club Hub after occupying a space there for over a year.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board voted Friday to uphold a ruling by the Student Union Advisory Board to remove the Colorado Public Interest Research Group from the Club Hub at the end of the semester.

"We were told in the past that we did­n't need any (club status) paperwork because we pay for the space," said Kama Suddath, CoPIRG's Metro campus coordinator.

According to Suddath, CoPIRG was told in August it would have

office. But by then the deadline for apply­ing had passed.

"We were in a Catch-22, there was nothing we could do," said Suddath. The advisory board decided to change the pol­icy in the middle of the semester, she said.

"I know they are just trying to be con­sistent with all the clubs, but I think they're going about it the wrong way," Suddath said.

Sound Financial Advice for Students

Dear Financial Connections, I have· a lot of credit cards with high balances. I am having trouble making all the minimum payments each month. Is there. anything I can do? I have heard something about consolidation loans?

Signed, Minimum Balanced Out

Dear Minimum Balanced Out, My first suggestion is to take a close look at your income and expenses by setting up a personal budget. The Student Finance Resource Center will be holding a "Budgeting Seminar" on November 30th in the Tivoli Student Union, Room 329, from l pm to 2pm, or if you prefer, call the Finance Center @ 556-4435 to arrange an individual session. Budgeting should help you get things under control. However, consolidation loans are an excellent resource if you are having trouble with numerous credit card payments. Most consolidation loans carry a lower interest rate than credit cards and have clearly defined repayment terms. Perhaps the best advantage to consolidation is not having to deal with all those bills each month. Banks, consumer counseling agencies and

. other financial institutions may help you obtain a consolidation loan. Call your bank or stop by my office and I will put you in touch with a lender.

The battle for space began in September when 20 clubs applied for 12 available spaces in the Club Hub. According to Clubs' Coordinator Maria Castro, organizations must be recognized as a club to be considered for free space in the Tivoli. The student organization hand­book lists "four easy steps to becoming a club." There are specific filing deadlines at

the beginning of each semester. Of those that applied, seven were

eliminated for not meeting the definition­of a club, said Juan Sanchez, vice presi­dent of student organizations. That still left one too many, so the decision was left to luck and one name was drawn from a hat.

The Asian Multicultural Network was the name picked to be eliminated. The president of the club, Oliver Tan, did not accept that and wrote a letter to Metro stu­dent government complaining that CoPIRG was occupying one of the spaces but was not officially considered a club.

Sanchez said CoPIRG now has until the end of the semester to complete the paperwork and become recognized as a club. They will then be eligible for a free space in the Tivoli with other clubs.

He also said that because of their sta­tus as a statewide, nonprofit organization and the presence of a paid staff member in the office, he would not support their request for free space.

Suddath is unsure where CoPIRG will reside, but said she feels an on-campus office is essential to carry out the group's mission.

As lawmakers negotiate massive cuts in fed­eral college-aid, students worry about paying back loans.

Students strugg~e with possible changes in federal-loan programs

and paying college debt

"With all of the provisions, not only defer­ment provisions but forbearance provisions, there is really no reason for a student to default," Munshaw said.

"I think part of the reason students default is

Almost half of Metro's 16,856 students depend on some form of financial aid to attend college, for a total of $38. l million in aid this year. _

Proposed legislation may reduce the national deficit, but it burdens students with having to pay more for loans and having less money available. In addition, students would have to start paying back their loans immediately after graduation.

"Without financial aid, what would happen to us? I wouldn't have a good job, and I would have to depend on welfare," said Aisha Gallegos, a Metro freshman.

Financial Aid On the Chopping Block Students who depend on financial aid to attend col­

lege are not alone in their concerns that the government may cut too much money from its federal-aid programs. The Alliance to Save Student Aid is working to save as much federal student aid as they can.

David Merkowitz, staff director for the Alliance, said the organization was formed last December in light of the cuts to financial aid outlined in the Republican's Contrac't with America.

Financial Aid:

The Alliance is made up of about 50 national higher Student-Loan Debt education organizations, Merkowitz said. They lobby Student-loan debt can be high for some students. The Congress and the Senate to save student aid. federal government allows up to $100,000 for undergrad-

because they're overwhelmed by the process," she said adding that there is a small percentage of students who never intended to pay back their loan when they received it.

"Our experience is most of the students who default, never make a payment," said Kristie Samuelson, assistant director of marketing for CSLP.

''There are a lot of repayment options, so if they can't pay, the worst thing they can do is hide," Samuelson said.

"If they call us we'll work with them and some­times we can get lenders to help out by accepting lower payments for some time," she said. "It's when they skip, that they get into a lot of trouble."

Federal law requires CSLP to report all student­loan defaults to national credit agencies. CSLP also reports defaults to the Internal Revenue Service that will confiscate tax returns until the debt has been paid.

Depending on whether the student in default is employed, garnishing wages is an<option.

"We do (take) pretty much whatever tack we can to recover the money,'' Munshaw said.

Once students have made 12 consecutive payments they can have the loan repurchased by the lender out of default status and their loan rights are reinstated. CSLP will then notify the credit bureaus that the loan is no longer in default.

Thanks for the cards and letters I would like to take this opportuni­

However, I have become a bit dis­appointed in some of the personal attacks brandished in our opinion pages. For a while it seemed people were more concerned with attacking someone else's views, than just pre­senting their own.

Poor english can destroy your point An open letter to Steven R.

Passarelli:

Your letter that that appeared in the October 20th edition of The Metropolitan was quite articulate and brought up some good points. Although my opinion in the topic varies from yours, I found myself thinking you to be a good writer capa­ble of expressing his ideas in a clear manner.

Then I got to your last sentence. "F--- Rush Limbaugh." I found this statement to be very disappointing. First of all, you should have ended that statement with an exclamation mark, not a period.

More importantly, I was disap­pointed that your argument which had

been built more or less on reason suddenly reverted to pure emotion, and an emotion of hate on top of that. the intellectual prowess that I had credited you with flew out the window.

The most disappointing part of this crass statement was the fact that it had no relevance to the rest of your letter and no reason was given for that statement. To my knowledge, Rush has not taken a stand or even made a comment on multicultl,Jralisim on this campus, or even heard of Metro, so what Limbaugh or your opinion of him have to do with your letter is completely beyond me.

Also, this is a place of higher learning. As such, you should have learned in english 102 to back up any opinions you state with facts, details,

Rabin was one of a few Israeli leaders who not only acknowledged the existence of Jhe Palestinian peo­ple, but was willing to work with us. This quality demonstrated his ability to exercise his HUMANITY!

November 4 will go down as one of the darkest days in Israel's history. Her first Prime Minister to work for peace, not just survival, was brutally gunned down at a world peace rally. The gunman is a Jew.

think the after-effect of the assassina­tion will manifest itself positively­those who called for peace before will now scream for it, those who were indifferent before will now call for it. As a result, the peace process will snow­ball, and more progress will be made at an exponential rate.

As a statesman, he was hard­lined in his policies towards the Palestinians. To quell the Palestinian Intifada, beginning in 1988, he estab­lished the infamous 'iron-fist policy' in· attempt to break the bones of dissent­ing Palestinian youth.

In the past few years, he has come around and bore witness to the fact that the violent Israeli occupation can no longer continue. He came to the realization that an attempt at peaceful negotiations with the Palestinians was the only way. This mission cost this brave man his life.

It is a shame that Yigal Amir, the terrorist, took the life of the one man who strove to create peace in an area which has experienced only death and war for 47 years.

One thing my people have always held dearly is a strong sense of unity. Twenty centuries of "Christian love" have taught us that we need to stand together to stand strong. But what hap­pened last Saturday shook the very foundation of that belief. Not a lone gunman, but a representative of a group of right-wing Zionist extremists, gave my people a slap in the face, showing us that none are immune to the threat of terrorism from within.

Or, Benjamin Natenyahu could be elected, at which point, the self-rule Rabin gave to the Palestinians on the West Bank will most certainly be revoked. Those Palestinians will then revolt, and the result will probably be Israel's most bloody war to date.

At this end, we must not let this lat­ter scenario happen. Everyone, Jews and Palestinians alike must stand and scream for things to progress.

There are many questions that come to mind. Who will succeed him after the year? How will the peace

Palestinians, Israelis and the world community need to come together more- now than ever before. Let's give peace a chance ... for Rabin and for life.

Safa Suleiman is the president of Metro student government and a member of the Arab Americans of Auraria Club.

But what happens now? Yitzhak Rabin, the leader of the Israeli peace movement is dead, so where does that leave the process?

Do not let Rabin's death be for naught.

I think that one of two things will happen. If Rabin's successor, Shimon Peres, is re-elected next year, then I

Letters

Dave Flomberg is a staff writer for The Metropolitan.

Let's pretend that Metro is· an Ivy League School Dear Editor:

Let's pretend that Metropolitan State College of Denver came to realize its vastly underutilized potential as an institution of higher learning. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that Metro would rather play "let's pre­tend" than "let's get down to business." While CU is busy competing for international science awards, and CSU is readily developing its image as one of the region's finest, Metro is stumbling all over itself trying to find out why only 26 percent of its students graduate, and only 4 percent graduate in four years. It is a matter of pride. Metro can no longer plead the excuse of the infant urban college. It turned 30 this month, time to grow up.

There are obvious and practical solutions to Metro's problems, which only a few of the current administrators seem to have the courage to address, for fear of rocking the boat. Gaunt graduation statistics, campus overpopula­tion, and our haunting image as the "poor stepdaughter of higher education," all derive from the same source, that is, Metro's open door admission policy. Metro's lax admission standards are the focal point for criticism by the school's critics, and by the community-at-large. An example of the effects of this situation is that the number of high school seniors who enrolled at Metro this fall dropped 8.8 percent. This school has generally failed in recruiting the best and brightest in Colorado. Instead we allow any warm body in the door, many of whom haven't displayed any interest in working hard, and consequently take up the administra­tion's and faculty's time with a myriad of excuses and com­plaints, as well as wasting valuable class space and time for students interested in learning.

Metro is not a community college, and it needs to quit acting like one if it doesn't want to be seen as one. Auraria campus already has one very good community college, we don't need two. Furthermore, while community colleges serve a vital role in giving people a second chance, Metro, as a four year college like CU and CSU, has a right to expect more than mediocrity from its current and potential students, and from itself.

There is a definite statistical correlation between admission standards and graduation rates throughout col­leges and universities nationwide. I am not suggesting that Metro join the Ivy league. I am suggesting that Metro start taking pride in itself and demanding excellence on the part of administrators, faculty staff, students, and athletes. That means ending an impractical open-door admissions policy which causes more problems than it solves. By raising Metro's admission standards, three beneficial results would be felt almost immediately: 1. Metro population would drop-off some, making classes more accessible and ending the space debate. 2. The schools' image as an aca­demic institution would increase dramatically both in the community and with potential employers of Metro gradu­ates, 3. graduation rates would increase, the intellectual atmosphere would develop, and student involvement would grow as student's pride in their institution grew.

But what happens to a student who couldn't get in to Metro? The same thing that happens to all students who can't get into their first choice of colleges. They attend a community college until they prove that they are willing and able to do the work, then they transfer here to gradu­ate with a degree that they can be proud of. Let's face it, if you can't get at least a 2.3 GPA in high school it is because

you are either lazy or brain dead. If laziness is the cause, than a year or two at CCD might be the best medicine. If you are brain dead, than you don't belong in college. I also propose a sliding scale balo.nce between entrance test scores and GPA. That way if you are very gifted but unmo­tivated you are given a shot, and if you are a poor tester but hard worker you will likewise be given a chance. The purpose is to eliminate those with neither the ability or desire to meet college-level academic requirements.

· This college has developed something of a victim mentality. A healthy dose of hard-earned accomplishment and pride would do the school a world of good. There is no reason at all why Metro can't become the preeminent col­lege in Denver. Our school is, after all, conveniently locat­ed; is in close proximity to the metropolitan centers of cul­ture (i.e. the Denver Public Library, the symphony and gal­leries); and is a crossroads for people of all cultures and from all walks of life. Where else can you interact with busi­ness people, beggars, beatniks, rednecks, yuppies, and foreigners all in the same campus?

Metro's incubation period is over. Our energies now must turn to transforming our school into something spe­cial. This means making tough, sometimes unpopular decisions in the face of adversity, for the good of the col­lege. It means demanding and receiving excellence. It is a matter of respect. Or we can all just keep pretending.

A taste of reality Luncheon demonstrates world's unequal food distribution Yoko Naito The METROPOLITAN

[11 ave you really thought of how fortunate you are because you eat every day? Most of us, who live in a First World coun-

try, never even think about it. Raising awareness of world food distribution was the objective of the World Reality Luncheon, held last Thursday in the Tivoli.

In its third year, the luncheon, spon­sored by the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, was a part of Project Connect, a two week series of community service events and

the project leader, in her opening speech. Poet Wardell Montgomery passion­

ately read his poems, which deal with social issues, as the First World people enjoyed their nice meal of chicken fillet with salad, bread and drink on nice linen table cl~thes.

On the other hand, the rest of people had to wait to get their food until Montgomery's poem-reading was over. Once he finished, the Second World peo­ple received beans and tortillas and the Third World people got rice and bread.

"It shows a big con­trast, both who have and who don't," said Tim Calderon, an environmental-tech-

educational seminars on social issues. Project Connect is sponsored by Metro and the Community College of Denver.

participants pulled cards telling them what role they would play and each card was color coded des-ignating them as a First, Second or Third World citizen.

For example the cards read, "You are Donna Karan in New York," "You are a mechanical engineer in East Berlin," or "You are a dish washer from Mexico."

The participants were distributed food based on their identity.

so much before as now ... It's just mind­boggling. It is incred-

ible," Calderon said. "It's a harsh reality,"

said Pam MaCrea, an accounting student at CCD, who was eating rice on the floor. "You know, this is something you never think about actually."

The people from the First World were seated upstairs, the Second World people sat at tables on the lower level and the Third World people had to sit on the floor.

"It is a fact that about 20 to 25 percent of the world receives their full four meals with nutritional value, whereas 30 to 50 percent of the world does not receive that amount of food," said Elanka Jarolimek,

'This is the situation in the world," said Ajayi Harris, a Metro student and a member of CoPIRG. Harris was also des­ignated to the Third World. 'The First World doesn't think of how fortunate we are about how much food we have and how accessible it is. This is the Third World, we have to wait and starve until it's served. This is the third year (of this event), and it seems to get more realistic every year."

THIRD WORLD TREATMENT: CCD student Tim Calderon eats rice at the World Reality Luncheon last Thursday. Calderon drew a card that placed him in the Third World, meaning he had to sit on the floor and eat rice and bread as opposed to those in the First World who received a full nutritional meal.

Infectious inf ant grunge band Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

an June of 1994 the Newcastle, Australia power grunge trio, Silverchair, won the chance of a life­time with their song, "Tomorrow."

The band was chosen out of 800 entries in a national demo competition to have a day in the recording studio at Australia's hottest alternative radio station 2JJJ-FM.

From there the rest is history. Silverchair's "Tomorrow," became the number-one

song in Australia before the band even made a record deal. This led to their recognition in the United States as a for­midable grunge-band.

The three youngsters that make up Silverchair, Daniel Johns (guitar, vocals), Chris Joannou (bass) and Ben Gillies (drums), who are now all 16-years-old, "start­ed rocking together in high school with no prior experi­ence, just the heart to play," Joannou said in a telephone interview.

In order to stay true to their music and avoid getting caught up in the glory of stardom, Silverchair has turned down countless interviews with national magazines, teen­magazines, and daily newspapers. Instead they focus their attention to street-level magazines and credible music press, Joannou said.

Joannou emphasized that it is more important for members of Silverchair to gain street credibility so they can prove themselves as a relentless, powerful band.

The band's first album Frogstomp, was recorded in just nine days and begins with a subterranean bass line, joined a moment later by a matching buzz-drenched gui­tar lick. The drums kick in slowly and bring forth a thun­derous roar from lead vocalist, Johns.

Last week at a concert in Melbourne, Australia, in mosh fashion, Silverchair's Daniel Johns attempted one of his routine stage dives into the crowd, only this time, instead of being caught, he slipped through the crowd and ended up on the floor.

"Johns became sort of a human Gumby for a few minutes as both security and the fans tugged at Johns from

In the meantime, these grungy kids plan "to keep on rockin," Joannou said.

Silverchair will perform with The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Flaming Lips Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at McNichols Arena. Tickets are $22.50 through Ticketmaster; 290-TIXS.

DOWN AND DIRTY: Detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) and attorney Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) take a few minutes out for romance in the new action film Fair Game.

'Fair Game' a textbook flop Cindy Crawford's acting debut: good looks don't make a good actress Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

D his movie just goes to show that good looks alone do not make an

actress. The new Warner Bros.

release Fair Game, is an all­around textbook flop. It is a per­fect example of what happens when Hollywood tries to pluck someone from one performance profession and stick them on screen: everything falls apart.

The movie opens with an attempt made on the life of divorce attorney Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford). She is taken to make a police report, where she meets Detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin). It becomes obvious that she wants to get him in the sack, and the movie take off from there.

Anyway, the rest of the movie is as predictable as Old Faithful.

The bad guys start pursuing McQueasy, I mean McQuean, and Kirkpatrick becomes her knight in nauseous armor.

Ho-hum. This movie is so obnoxious,

even the bad guy bites. First of all, his name is Kasak (perhaps a reference to the Gestapo-like regime of early Soviet history?), he is an ex-KGB assassin out to gain access to the world's bank­ing industry via computer. He charters a boat to take him to an underwater junction box so that he may tap into cyberspace.

Sound stupid yet? McQuean happens to repre­

sent the wife of the owner of the boat, and she is trying to acquire it in the divorce settlement. For some reason, she seems to pose a bigger threat to these guys than the Coast Guard, so they mobi­lize to take her out.

They track her and Kirkpatrick across the United States in a most amusing man­ner. First, they pick up her trail when she orders a pizza from a neighborhood pizza shop. Why, in God's name, the shop was on­line is totally beyond me. Anyway, the Cossacks, I mean Mr. Kasak, kills all Kirkpatrick's friends and chases him and McQuean on.to a train.

Which is about the funniest point in the movie. McQuean and Kirkpatrick are copulating in a baggage car when McQuean notices a would-be attacker sneaking up on them. Without missing a beat, she grabs Kirkpatrick's gun and puts four rounds in the killer. Then she gets captured by another bad guy, and then Kirkpatrick has to go save her and then he gets caught and then he has to escape and then ...

You get the picture. Redeeming qualities? The

ending credits. Even the direc­tion was one-dimensional and uninteresting. The soundtrack was nothing to write home about, and the rest of the sup­porting cast was about as believ­able as a one-armed boxer.

Skip it.

Student courts death, dan·ger U.S. Ski Team snowboarder lives life on the cutting-edge Donna Hickey The METROPOLITAN

[fj ou may have seen W styhn' the half U pipe on ESPN Extreme Sports or study­ing in the library for her anthropology

class. No matter what she does she is heads above the pack.

First-semester Metro student, Listle Stokstad, 22, befriends death and danger while attending col­lege on the side.

Stokstad has survived an 80-foot fall and the horror of a snowboard tearing her right hand open.

In college, she is pursuing an education in the humanities. In the real world she is a snowboarder for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team and has been fierce competitor in this cutting-edge event for six years.

Stokstad is sponsored by companies like: Rad Air snowboards from Austria, Stryke snowboard clothing from Boulder and Oakley sunglasses. Those are sponsors who have approached her or she solicited via resume and phone calls.

Her U.S. Ski Team sponsors are Nike and Phoenix Clothing of Japan.

She is really excited about being a part of the snowboard industry because women are getting a lot more exposure and respect these days.

Stokstad explains that snowboarding has been dominated by teen-age boys so there has been some attitude to overcome.

She started snowboarding at the tender age of 14, "I was always a tomboy. I tried it and loved it,"she said.

She began by competing in regional and resort contests. She entered alpine races, which are speed events.

Stokstad's passion is not limited to snow. "I'm really into school," she said, "It is hard to

concentrate when you've got this other thing going on."

She is currently studying anthropology and cross-cultural communications, which she said helps her to understand the cultures she encounters in her travels.

Her team travels from January through March competing in various ski events.

Stokstad's event is the half pipe. She is judged on how high she reaches on each side of the pipe, difficulty of trick she pulls on the turn, style and landing.

To be on the team, she is required to keep a journal on her exercise regime and take a fitness test and drug test.

"I really have to bust my buns now," she laugh­ingly said about her fitness test in January.

Stokstad works out six days a week as well as keeps up with her studies.

Vail opens this weekend, which will give her ~ve days a week on snow, she said.

During training at the U.S. Ski Team head­quarters in Park City, Utah, last July, she severed three tendons in her right hand.

She was training on aerial jumps, with a plas­tic ramp that leads to a pool of water for develop­ing half pipe tricks.

Donna Hickey/The METROPOLIT.AN

SNOW QUEEN: Metro student Listle Stokstad globe-trots with the U.S. Ski Team when she's not in school.

"It didn't matter how you landed because the water was there," she said recounting the accident, "So I went to do a back flip and the edge of my snowboard cut through my hand and severed three tendons."

Her arm was in a cast for six weeks and her physical therapist said it would take six months for her hand to heal. She had full motion in her hand in two weeks.

"My physical therapist about fainted," she said with a smile.

Stokstad said she feels as though she has a guardian angel.

Last spring she was in a skydiving accident that left her immobile for a while.

Her parachute collapsed and she fell 80 feet to the ground. She had three cracked vertebrate in her neck, bit half her tongue off, broke all the toes on her left foot, broke her left wrist and had severe internal bruises.

"I had a bandage on every limb," she laughs while extending her limbs into the form of some­one in a body cast.

"Now I have a lot of close friends in the hos­pital and great friends in the medical field ."

Eventually she hopes to work in the world of snowboarding, but right now she is working on an education on which to fall back.

"My parents are afraid I am gonna be a ski bum," Stokstad said with a roll of her eyes.

Until then, she will continue to go to Metro in the summer and fall when she is not globe-trotting with the U.S. Ski Team.

Metro's Indoor Airport takes off Steve Titus The METROPOLITAN

W etro celebrated. the official take-off of its new flight-sim­ulation laboratory, the World Indoor Airport, last Thursday.

A huge spotlight in the parking lot, cutting a beam through a snowy sky directed everyone, from Metro President Sheila Kaplan to aviation legend E.B. Jeppesen, to what many in the field of flight consider the finest collegiate aero­space training operation in the state of Colorado.

'This school ranks at the top in flight training; none are above it," said Gregory Michael, Manager of the Federal Aviation Administration's Denver Flight Standards District Office. He said the new facility represents one of the FAA's goals of improving flight safety through more thor­oughly trained pilots. The FAA is one of the sources of grant money for the facility.

Robert Mock, chairman of the Aerospace Department, acknowledged Michael's accolades and praised the Aerospace Department's staff and stu­dents for all their hard work.

"Since starting in 1987 I've survived three vice presidents, four presidents, and a dean," Mock said. "Everyone has worked extremely hard on this facility, but it's the students, the students make it the

best program in the world." Mock said the World Indoor Airport is

housed in a pressurized climate-controlled room. The temperature is kept at 72 degrees, plus or minus two degrees, with a constant relative humidity of 50 percent. The floor is suspended, with each 18-inch tile insulated and grounded to prevent sta­tic electricity from causing problems with the approximately 35 computers it takes to handle the 12 flight simulators and five air traffic-control simulators.

Mock, a former U.S. Air Force Colonel, wrote all the grants and secured over $1.2 million dollars to help pay for the high-tech facility.

Guests at the opening included former Aerospace Department graduates; Pam Bugg, widow of Robert Bugg, the depart­ments former simulator instructor; repre­sentatives of United Airlines, who donated two DC-10 simulators; Rudy Fransca, president of Fransca International, design­er and manufacturer of the flight simula­tors; and flight industry legend, E.P. Jeppesen.

Robert Bugg was one of the original flight instructors for Metro when simula:: tors were portable desk-top models. Bugg, along with his wife, Pam, would spend their weekends maintaining the problem­atic units so students would have some­thing to fly during the week.

Professor publishes 'Poents front Below' Jacqueline A. Sims The METROPOLITAN

metro's own Renee Ruderman, IJJ assistant professor of English, coordinator of the

school's First Year Program, poet and creative writer, has published her first poetry book, Poems from the Room Below.

Poems a 72-page paperback book, published by Permanence Press, San

Diego, is available at the campus book store for $9.95.

Her book takes a look at life, memo­ries, death, loss and love -- love that never happened; love that could have happened but didn't end well and other "live stuff," Ruderman said.

One of her poems, "Paper Shade," a poem about waiting, took first prize at the prestigious 49th Parallel Poetry Awards in Bellingham, Washington. She beat out more than 1,000 other entries,

she said. Ruderman made her first poetry pub­

lication a family affair. She incorporated the artistic talents of

her mother, Luis, and her "Scheerschnitten," German scissors or silhouette technique, which Luis learned in her native Berlin as a girl.

Ruderman's 92-year-old uncle, Roland Detre, a nationally and locally known artist, painted the cover piece for Poems.

B-ball team bounced in season opener New Zealand National team steals 92-86 win ove·r Metro at Auraria Events Center

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

For the second year in a row, the men's basketball team opened its season with a "new look" roster of players. Metro returned just four players from Iait year's squad, thus subjecting ,the team to early growing pains.

The Roadrunners fell 92-86 to the New Zealand National team on Monday, officially kicking off the 1995-96 cam­paign.

Despite shooting .500 in the first half ( 15-30) and building a 12 point lead, the Roadrunners were

work on," Bradley said. "We have to improve our rebounding and shooting."

Bradley has reason to be optimistic. Last year's team.was thrown together

at the last minute due to the late hiring of Bradley. With little time to recruit, the make-shift unit managed to win ·just six games while dropping 21.

This year's team is young, but has added something it desperately lacked last season .. . height. Last year's tallest player was 6-foot-7. This year there are six play­ers who are 6-foot-6 or taller including

two 6-foot-8 forwards and Reader, the 7-footer .

The added height helped on the boards.

outscored 55-37 in the second by the hot-shooting Nationals.

Metro- coach Charles Bradley said the game was a good test for his

'When you play a team that has been together for so long, they know how to

pace themselves down the stretch'

The Nationals narrowly won the rebounding war 45-41 but had 15 steals to Metro's six.

Also key was New Zealand's sharp shooting in the second half. The

team. "We are in a

rebuilding phase," Bradley said. "We had some ups and

downs tonight, but for the most part it was up."

Indeed there were positives for this new squad, faced with the task of follow­ing the 1994-95 team that finished with the worst record in Metro men's basketball history.

Second-year forward Justin Land fin­ished with a team-high 19 points, includ­ing 3-8 shooting from three-point range. He added seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks for an outstanding individual effort.

The Roadrunners' prized transfer, 7-foot Cory Reader from Brigham Young University, added 15 points and a game high 10 rebounds though he managed to shoot just 4-11 from the field.

"This game gives us · something to

"When you play a team that has been together for so

long, they know how to pace themselves down the stretch," Bradley said. "Our guys will use this as great experience for the upcoming sea­son." ·

While this team will need time to gel, Metro did have five players in double fig­ures. Transfers Paul Durham and Brock Roulier had 11 and l 2 points respectively, and second-year walk-on C.J. Arellano added 15.

The early portion of Metro's schedule is favorable as 12 of the Roadrunners ' first 14 games will be played at Auraria Events Center.

16 The METROPOLITAN NOVEMBER 10, 1995

Long, losing season finally ends for both soccer teams Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Soccer season has ended and not a day too soon for Metro's men's and women's teams. Both squads finished in last place in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

The men's team fell two victories short of last season's total of seven, but started a new era with a first-year head coach.

The women followed a season in which they were ranked as high as No. 3 nationally with a dismal and disappointing year. The expectations coming in were quickly extin­guished when it became apparent that the team lacked scoring power.

Men The men's team was rebuilding from top

to ,bottom as 1995 ushered in a new era for the team. Brian Crookham took over the team after Al Ashton ended his three-year stint as coach last season. Crookham accept­ed the challenge of leading a squad that fin­ished 7-13 a year ago and didn't look to be on the verge of a dramatic turnaround.

The season proved to be a test for both players and coaches as a season ending injury to starting goal keeper Larry Sersante forced Crookham to go with inexperienced keepers for the majority of the season.

Couple that with three freshman defend-

ers and you reap a 5-15 finish for the young Roadrunners.

The team had just three seniors, which proved to be costly this year but should bode well for the future.

Metro has nine freshmen and 11 sopho­mores who were baptized into the fire this year and could make this a very competitive team next season.

Women The women's team was forced to deal

with the loss of key players and never found the goal-scoring or leadership that Rosie Durbin provided for Metro.

The Roadrunners struggled through their worst season ever, finishing 2-13-2 overall with a last place 1-9-2 CAC record.

Much like the men's team, however, there is a good core of young, talented play­ers who will likely make this team a compet­itive force in seasons to come.

Tracey Mays is capable of scoring, but coach Ed Montojo admitted that by playing her in the middle, she is less !!ffective. Montojo will likely try to find someone to play in the middle to free up Mays to run the wing where she can use her speed and quick­ness to score.

If Montojo can have a good off-season recruiting, his returning core of players will be cause for optimism.
