Deli closes campus location Tivoli management grants owner early exit on ·tease Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

As a result of too many students passing on the pas­trami and patronizing Taco Bell, the New York Deli has

;;,. closed its doors for good.

( •

The closing of the deli is the predictable finale to a troubled relationship between deli owner Warren Tepper and the Tivoli management.

"Everything that has built up until this point is why we needed out of our lease," Tepper said.

Last May, Tivoli management threatened to take legal action against Tepper unless he paid a $23,60 I debt. The matter was resolved and the deli stayed open until Dec. 26.

Tepper requested an early release from his lease, which Tivoli management granted.

"We were able to work out a situation for both of us that was comfortable," said Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union. "They were not in default and had been very professional about leaving," she said.

Tepper said the Tivoli has become overfilled with restaurants and his business requires a large overhead to survive.

''There's too much food and not enough people, at least for us," Tepper said.

Jenny SparksfThe METROPOLITAN

CLOSED FOR BUSINESS: The New York Deli closed for the holidays, but because of the abundance of competition and large overhead, the deli was forced to shut its doors permanently.

The large operating cost of the deli during school breaks was what finally forced the deli to close, Tepper said.

Weiske also said Tivoli management will be sure future businesses are aware of the Tivoli's economic weaknesses and strengths.

"With three months of summer, spring break and Christmas break, there's five months right there, where there's no business in the building," Tepper said. "For the food courts it's easy for them to hang tough. They can put

The METROPOLITAN

Students returning to campus for the first week of class will find some new din­ing alternatives in the Tivoli Student Union.

Club America, Restaurant America, and McDonald's all opened their doors last week, said Barb Weiske, director of Tivoli Management.

Club America is only open Friday and Saturday nights. In February the club will b.e open Wednesday and Thursday nights as well, Weiske said. Club America is

An outside entrance is currently being used for the club.

Restaurant America is located directly below Club America on the first floor of the student union. An outside entrance is also being used for the restaurant. Restaurant America's menu includes sand­wiches, salads, burgers, and soups. Prices run around $5 or $6 per plate. Starting Jan. 16, the restaurant will open at 11 a.m. for lunch Monday through Friday, and at 5 p.m. for dinner on Saturdays.

Another option for lunch has opened in the Tivoli food court. McDonald's joins

the three fast food chains already open in the stu­dent union.

Under con­struction in the food court is Cafe Fresco, which will feature a baked potato bar and sal­ads. Cafe Fresco is expected to open in late January or early February, Weiske said.

and believes they will have a positive impact on Auraria students.

"The presence of these businesses adds to the Tivoli 's variety, which will help attract people with new interests," Weiske said.

Weiske also said the revenue generat­ed by the businesses will help the campus as a whole.

"As the merchants become successful, the money will get back to the students," she said.

Reactions from employees and own­ers of the Tivoli's more established busi­nesses are somewhat mixed.

Paul Kim, owner of The Mandarin, disagreed with the opening of McDonald's.

"I don' t like it," Kim said. Kim said the many choices available

to students will diminish his income. Isabel Yuziuchuck, an employee of

Hammond's, said the club probably will not bring any business to them.

"I don't think we will get any new customers here because of the new night­club," she said.

Jim Walker, an employee of Twist and Shout records, disagreed.

"It can't hurt, I'm all for it," Walker said. "The more business in the Tivoli, the

Tuesday, many Metro students faced long lines, computer malfunctions, limited parking, lost documents, canceled classes, and even classes that were discontinued altogether.

Students mostly complained about the lines.

"The lines are too long. They need to be more organized."

While the lines were a large problem for many Metro students, parking seemed to be even more unnerving.

Metro student Karen Shearer said, "By the time I got into the parking lot, I got to my class and there were no seats. I got forced out by no parking and no seats."

Freshman Kresta Trujillo voiced sim­ilar concerns.

"I spent 20 minutes looking for a spot. I thought that I should just drive back home and take the RTD."

Some students said that they had been involved in near-accidents in the race for

parking spots, however Auraria Public Safety staff said no accidents took place.

Some students suggested ways to solve these problems.

One option for the long lines at St. Cajetan 's, Trujillo said, was to eliminate having assigned times depending on what letter your last name starts with.

As for parking, many students thought the parking garage should be expanded.

Though many students complained of these problems, some students said that they are used to the hassles and don't mind the long lines or limited parking anymore.

"Things are pretty normal,"said freshman Jeff McDonald.

Metrqrliran ~ State~ofDenver ATTENTION! Students, Faculty and Staff

MSCD has approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet

(Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan State College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not interfere with any other individual's intellectual inquiry, and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas.

Equally important is the individual's right-to­privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-to­privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy of 1974). This responsibility spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal, and electronic communications, and electronic data files. Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code).

APPROPRIATE USE to be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of the institutions goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is~ true of

administrative information systems, academic computing resources, networking technologies and office automation.

MSCD's computing resources are available to MSCD students, faculty, and staff. For any other individual or organization to use MSCD's computing resources requires special written approval from the Associate Vice President of Information Technology.

INAPPROPRIATE USE Any activity involving MSCD's computing facilities which knowingly interferes with someone else's academic freedom, the institution's goals or policies, examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to the following: -Attempting to gain access to personal information, computer accounts, or computing resources for which you are not authorized; -Not logging off from public terminals, thereby providing others access to computing resources for which they may not be authorized; -Damaging, altering, or tampering with other's data contained within or transported by MSCD's computing facilities; -Violating the confidentiality of information associated with an individual or their research, or information associated with the college; -Any form of electronic eavesdropping, e.g., examining the contents of data packets transmitted on the campus network; -Any form of harassing activity; Any activity

which wastes either human or computing resources. -Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements, and contracts. -Any commercial use for profit;- Use of an inter­campus network such a Bitnet, Colorado Supemet, or the Internet that violates their usage guidelines (see usage guidelines for these various networks). Many of these examples involve violations of law. For example, unauthorized access into someone's information stored on a computer system is a violation of that person's right to privacy and is a criminal act.

RIGHTS Information Technology reserves the right to assist in determining inappropriate use. This may include, but is not limited to, examining the contents of data files or .reports and system activity logs.

REsULTS OF MISUSE Misuse of computing resources at MSCD may include suspension of computing privileges, referral to an appropriate authority on campus, and referral to a law enforcement agency. · Discipline action by the College may include suspension, expulsion, and requirements to make final restitution.

AMC deal at a standstill Key players want to know what the payoff will be Jane Hase The METROPOLITAN

Progress with the AMC theater deal has come to a halt while major players assess how their institutions will benefit.

"Should the concurrence be that it's an appropriate decision then we'll move forward," said Dean Wolf, acting execu­tive vice president of administration for Auraria

One advantage to going ahead with the deal would be the financial health of the Student Bond Fund budget, Wolf said.

The Student Bond Fund is money assessed as student fees which funds Auraria buildings such as the Child Care Center, the Events Center and the Tivoli.

Making up for a possible deficit in the fund this year is a concern for Auraria rep­resentatives who are looking at options to make up for the shortfall.

Among those options are refinancing the bonds at a lower interest rate and the expansion of the theaters over the Auraria tennis courts.

The refinancing of the bonds was approved by the Auraria Board of Directors at a Jan. 8 meeting. The resolu­tion would set the percentage rate at no greater than the current average yearly interest rate of 6.5 percent.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said, "Refinancing the fund will put (it) in a sta­ble condition."

Board of Directors Chairman Manuel Martinez announced at the meeting that he and Wolf met with officials from the Denver Zoning Department and the City

The MSCD

Planning Office concerning the AMC expansion.

Martinez said they were told they would receive no opposition once a Planned Unit Development has been obtained. A PUD is a request for zoning which includes specific details of a pro­posed project. The AMC theaters would need a PUD only if the structure is sepa­rate from the Tivoli because the Tivoli has already been zoned said Dorothy Nepa, a Denver zoning administrator.

"We would have to look at the plan and assess its impact," Nepa said. She added that a free-standing building is not considered a permitted use in the district.

"If it comes to that, we would like to find another alternative," Wolf said.

Zoning for the theater expansion had been an issue of debate among city offi­cials and Auraria representatives when the deal was first proposed last spring.

The plan includes building a 50,000-foot theater complex on the west side of the Tivoli, allowing AMC to expand from 12 theaters to 24 theaters.

Kaplan was vague about other options but said, "Bottom line is that until we fin­ish (looking at) other areas the movies are not on the table."

Wolf said that revenue from the the­aters would equate to "some $300,000 to the bond fund o~ an annual basis." He added that if the deal were approved con­struction would take approximately I 0 months to complete.

Wolf said he expects everything con­cerning the deal on the table by the end of February or early March.

The difficulty of diversity .__I _s_1A_FF~ The campus of Metro, because of

its size and demographic composure, is inherently diverse. One needs only to spend a little time observing the stu­dent body to come to this conclusion. When President Sheila Kaplan announced that the newly appointed Diversity Task Force has until April to compile a budget for the program, I

MY TURN

' wondered if the team realizes. that to Douglas Gawadzinski truly meet the goals of diversity educa­tion at this school, a different approach must be taken. ·

Although there is a current requirement for multicultural aware­ness, it certainly lacks direction, and fundamentally misses the intended objective. The question remains: Can a student become multiculturally enlight­ened in one semester by taking one of the approved courses? I think not!

As pointed out in the Dec. 1, 1995 The Metropolitan article, "Defining Diversity (Difference}," diversity is everything. So how can a student be exposed to everything by taking class­es that are culturally biased. They can­not. So now, as the new task team scrambles for a solution, perhaps the team needs only to look in its own backyard to find the answer. Professor Elizabeth Frederick put together a course that accomplishes exactly what the school is in search of: diversity edi­fication. Workforce Diversity MGT -483, covers a great deal of ground in terms of diversity issues, and what better place to start than with a course that is already in place.

It would take very little effort to re-

engineer the curriculum of this course to be of great benefit to the entire stu-

. dent body. I can hear the naysayers now, ''This will never work, how will the class be administered, who will teach it, and will the kids really learn any­thing? This just won't work." Perhaps they are right, but one will never know unless a program that addresses all diversity issues is mandated, made a prerequisite for graduation. I also think that such a program be required as a lower-division class, and that it should be completed within the first year that a student is enrolled, regardless of full or part-time status.

The purpose of diversity training at a college is to expose the student pop­ulation to the issues of diversity; race, gender, persons with disabilities, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and reli­gion. All of these issues are extremely important and should be introduced early in the student's college education process. What good does it do the stu­dent or the campus community if this class is taken in the final semester? It

does no good whatsoever. If the goal of diversity training is to educate the student, thus allowing them to have a better understanding of their fellow students while attending this institu­tion, waiting until the last semester to take such a class invalidates the impe­tus of the program.

President Kaplan would also like the task force to develop a "Diversity Management Action Plan," which would include a survey of the "campus climate." I love new buzzwords and this one is a real winner. "Our survey con­cludes that the campus climate is part­ly cloudy, or is that partly sunny?" Campus surveys are at best a very small sample of the campus popula­tion, and can be as biased, or perhaps better put, interpreted, to meet the needs of those conducting the survey. Task Force member Karen Benson hit the "campus climate" on the head with her statement that the climate is polar­ized.

Lastly the question remains: Can multiculturalism be taught in one semester? Probably not, but let us rephrase the question. Can diversity awareness be presented in such a manner, early in the students educa­tional process so that it heightens the student perception of diversity issues and makes the "campus climate" more amenable to all those involved, in one semester? Probably yes!

Douglas Gawadzinski is a Metro student.

.. Students' rights hang in the balance Last semester was not a great

semester for student rights in Colorado! Believe me when I say there are outstanding examples to prove this point. Let me start off by defining what student rights are and the rich history that follows.

Students have always been at the cornerstone of great societal change. Students are able to devote time and energy to "movements." Students also have less to lose, more to gain and passion behind their beliefs. With this in mind take a look at some historical examples of students fighting for their own rights as well as for a larger world view.

One c~nnot mention student rights and action without mentioning the 1960s. The sixties, of course, were a time when students fought against the Vietnam War and fought for civil rights. Students were also busy starting stu­dent governments in college. In the eighties, the world saw the students in China fight for democracy. Additionally, all across the country students are fighting battles with administration, state school boards, the state Legislature, and Congress. The fights range from tuition and fee increases, increasing multicultural requirements, to starting a campus recycling pro­gram and getting better food in the Student Union. All important fights.

At the University of Colorado-Boulder Judith Albino and the CU regents took thousands of dol­lars out of the hands of students and parents. This issue enraged students, parents and state legislators. Money that should have gone toward educa­tion was instead used for a bailout and a pension.

The next issue that grabbed media attention was the decision by the Trustees of State Colleges to again take student money and spend it else­where. The Trustees used tuition increases at Metro to help bailout another school. This lead to the firing of a great President at Western State College, and loss of tuition money at Metro. Once again the students got

screwed! Look at the headlines again. At the

Community College of Denver, the administration pulled the student newspaper because of lack of quality. The Denver Post treated this as an issue of governm~nt restricting free­dom of press. Again, at CCD the stu- · dents voted in large numbers to start a CoPIRG chapter at CCD. The state board that oversee·s CCD overturned the student vote. The school president and student repres~ntative on the board both were for upholding the stu­dent vote but they were shot down by their very own state board.

Finally, at Metro, the Student Government fought all semester for changes in the grade appeal process. Although the fight is not over, early battles with the faculty on this issue have been losses for the students.

Fellow students we need to be on guard lest our rights be trampled. The powers that be fear student involve­ment. There are still more of us and we should use this to our advantage. We should get involved with clubs, organi­zations or student government, we should speak out at meetings and we should be ever watchful.

JANUARY 19, 1996 The METROPOLITAN 11

Metro band invited to Springs Music professor taking spotlight as featured soloist at educators' conference

Keri Close The METROPOLITAN

T he Metro State Wind Ensemble has been invited to attend Colorado's premiere music educa­tor's conference in Colorado

Springs. The Colorado Music Educator's

Association conference will be held Jan. 26 at the Broadmoor Hotel.

Walter Barr, is directing the wind ensemble, Metro's top group of artists. This is not Metro's year to go to the con­ference according to the CMEA's round­robin invitation system, but the quality of the ensemble's work earned them the honor anyway, Barr said.

The majority of the performance will concentrate on contemporary American selections.

The first piece, Epilogue: Lest we Forget by Robert Jager, is dedicated to all who fought for peace and freedom in World War II. The ensemble's second piece, Three Waters Mountain, was com­posed by Kirk J. Vogel. Vogel is a teacher in the Weld County school district, as well

as the winner of the Colorado Composers Competition. The ensemble's perfor­mance will debut the piece.

Ron Miles, assistant professor of music at Metro, will perform a solo for the ensemble's fo urth selection: Second Concerto for Trumpet by Andre Jolivet, the only foreign piece in the program.

"It's the hardest piece I've ever direct­ed." said Barr. "There's all kinds of diffi­cult leaps in Ron's solo."

The ensemble's final piece is Saga of the clouds by Fisher Tull. According to Barr the piece represents different forms of clouds, with the last movement being a thunderstorm. Barr said the piece is "wild and really cool."

A free preview of the concert material will

be held at the St. Ca}etan 's Center

Jan.24 at 2 p.m.

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

PLAY IT: Metro Professor of music Ron Miles is scheduled to be the pre­miers soloist at the Metro wind ensemble performance in the Springs.

Breakfast to honor award winners Priest, graduate, teacher and runner are this year's winners of Martin Luther King prize Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

M etro and eight Auraria organiza­tions combined resources to host the annual Peace Breakfast, Thursday, Jan 18, in honor of

Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This celebration of peace and the

achievements of King has become a tradi­tion at Metro.

The first Peace Breakfast, which was held in 1991, and was coordinated by Karen Thorpe, the former assistant vice­president for student affairs.

The breakfast will be attended by Mayor Wellington Webb and Colorado first lady Bea Romer.

One of the highlights of this event is the awards ceremony for work that follows the tradition of King and outstanding com­munity involvement.

The awards are given to four individ­uals in three categories; one student, one faculty or staff and two community mem­bers.

Past award recipients have been Denver first lady Wilma Webb, and Metro professor Akbarali Thobhani.

This year's faculty/staff member win­ner is Tara Tull, coordinator of Women's Services.

Tull has worked for Metro for six years. Tull works with students who have grievances that they may not know how to resolve.

"Students can come to me with their grievances, for example, sexual harass­ment, and I may not always know how to

solve them but I probably know who does," Tull said.

Although Tull said her work is very gratifying, there are aspects of her job she said she would rather not deal with.

Suazo

One thing she said she tries to avoid is not being able to help with a problem.

"I hate that when a student comes in and all I can tell them is bad news. When students need housing and the housing aµthority doesn't even take people on the housing list," she said.

Tull is no rookie to working with social issues. In 1986 Tull worked on get­ting a gay-rights initiative passed in Boulder, which was the first one passed by vote in Colorado. Growing up the daughter of two liberals, Tull said she has always been aware of different social movements in the world.

"I remember being a kid and knowing South Africa was bad and when aparthei'd became popular in the 80s I already knew about it," she said.

Tull maintains a modest attitude when it comes to her receiving the King award.

"I can't believe I'm getting this. It's very humbling because Martin Luther King represents so much," she said.

King represents the whole foundation of peace and equality Tull said. If she had

the chance to ask King one question , she would ask him what he would do in today's society.

"The 1990s are so different from the 1960s, and l would wonder what he would do with all the changes that have happened since he was alive,'' Tull said.

The student chosen for this years award is Metro graduate Alfonso Suazo.

He graduated at the end of the Fall semester with a degree in marketing.

Suazo worked in the admissions office giving tours and orientation to incoming students. His knowledge of the campus and the workings inside the admissions office led him to become a natural leader for students of color. Through his own dedication to education he also quickly became a role model for other students the his nomination Jetter states.

When reflecting on his career at Metro, Suazo said ·he is proud of the work he has done and of the campus itself.

"The campus has a long way to go but I think we have a very, very strong admin­istration and Sheila Kaplan has been an answer to a prayer," Suazo said.

Working in the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan organization has also been a fountain of success for Suazo.

"When I look back through my resume, a lot of the work I've done had been the result of working with MECha," Suazo said.

The accomplishment Suazo said is the highlight of his career is receiving the .Martin Luther King Peace award.

"This is an award that you are nomi-

nated for. It comes from people who take into account what you've done and it gives you a validation on the work you've done. It shows people have noticed," he said.

Suazo attribu tes a strong empathy towards King to the social work he has done himself.

"We often generalize that a person dies as he lives. lf a person dies very vio­lently, generally he lived very violently. Dr. King did not die as he lived therefore his life was not his own, his life was ours and that is probably the most important thing about Dr. King that I can think of," he said.

Suazo plans to continue working with Chicano organizations and is working on an education conference that will be held on campus in Ma·rch.

The two members of the Denver com­munity have been chosen as the recipients of the King Award for community mem­bers are:

Father Marshall Gourley, the parish priest at Our Lady of Guadeloupe Church, and Essie Garrett, a teacher at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School.

Gourley is the first person in Denver to start the Cash for Guns program.

He suggests the way to change is to be more attentive to what is happening around us.

Last year Garrett completed a run across the United States to raise support for AIDS awareness. She has also done smaller versions of her cross-country trek to help the homeless.

'Opus' is big dunce Tearjerker strikes common classroom chord

Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

G ood intentions more than a sound script allows the newest release of Hollywood Pictures Mr. Holland 's Opus to hit a chord the whole fam­

ily can enjoy. Sure, why not make the lead role a

teacher instead of some tough action star -after all, teachers are heroes too.

Why not make the teacher a music teacher - after all, music is just a bit more exciting on screen than math or geometry.

But why drown a mediocre plot in a tear-jerking, endless, preachy story that mourns the downfall of arts curriculums in our high schools?

Well, some movies have messages and some, for example Mr. Holland's Opus, don' t just kill the messenger, they downright torture him to death.

The story is simple and seems vague­ly familiar following the tradition of such classroom movies as Dangerous Minds, or Sister Act I and //. Glenn Holland (Richard Dreyfuss), an aspiring composer who is working on a symphony, decides reluctantly to accept a teaching position. What he thinks is going to be a four-year "gig" turns into a mission for life.

Starting somewhere before the war in Vietnam and ending right around the

Reagan era, Mr. Holland turns bored brats into smiling kids - all with the help of music.

Never mind the well-known transfor­mation from bored-teacher to passionate­teacher. As soon as Mr. Holland closes the textbook and breaks out Beatles records, the gray faces of his students start to light­en up and that is just so charming.

But while Mr. Holland marches tri­umphantly to the sound of his marching band a subplot is introduced throwing a sour note into an otherwise too melodic plot.

Mr. Holland's son, it turns out, is deaf. Now you have it - a man filled with

the love for music and a kid that can't hear a note give way to a father and son sce­nario that has Dreyfuss singing himself into a communication breakdown.

From here to the end of the movie, the viewer is bombarded with such stereotypi­cal movie moments as the admiring stu­dent falling in love with her teacher, father and son reconciliation and the mean prin­cipal playing grouch to t~e world of arts.

Mr. Holland's Opus, brings nothing new to a well-known plot that has worked before, but decent acting, an interesting soundtrack featuring works from Beethoven to De La Soul and an oh-so sad and happy ending make it a perfect whole­some family movie that leaves everybody sniffling by the time the credits roll.

MUSIC, MAESTRO: Mr. Holland (Richard Dreyfuss) takes off-center stage in Mr. Holland's Opus. He is a music teacher in this Stand and Deliver production about a composer who falls in love with teaching.

CykoMiko

From the fieriest depths of the pits of punk oozes the latest release of Mike Murr gone bad. entitled Cyko Miko.

Far flung from the days of Suicidal Tendencies, Murr has gone from fast, driving punk to incessant yelling, losing all of the cre­ativity that he once demonstrated.

One who is looking for creative beats should not pick up a punk album. This album is no exception. Track after track of high-speed polka beats with extreme tremolo on the angry electric leaves me not wanting for more.

Lyrically speaking, there is not much to be said, simply because he is yelling too loud and fast to understand anything he is saying.

The track entitled "Gonna Be Alright" grants a small repreive from the rest of the album's extreme discombobulation, but the title is pretty much the cut's only lyrics.

Once you've bad Suicidal Tendencies, I guess there's no life afterward.

-Dave F/.omberg

Lending itself well to the genre this MGM release seems to fit, the soundtrack for the Pauly Shore motion picture Bier Dome is a collection of happy rock from artists such as Fourth Grade Nothing, Wax, and The Rugburns.

While the movie may bite, the soundtrack surely doesn't, and makes for great road-trip music.

Focus on Wax's version of the popular "Do You Wanna Dance," by Bobby Freeman, or Dance Hall Crashers' take on "Don't Wanna Behave;" both cuts are a mixture of grunge meets punk meets traditional. However, it wouldn't sur­prise me that with all the good grooves. the movie will bomb, a technique seen repeatedly in Hollywood: let's take a good selection of music, couple it with a terrible plot and even worse actors ... but I digress, maybe the movie will be good. I won't hold my breath.

-Dave Flomberg

ven more hardcore than sake, Teengenerate is the best thing to come out of Japan in the last decade.

Sammy, Fink, Fifi and Suck have been doing their American punk homework and have produced one of the rawest punk albums to come out in the last few years.

Not quite ready for M1V yet, the cuts on the album sound like they were recorded in a garage on a four-track giving the album a tinny, old sound reminiscent of old Ramones albums. [hey describe the sound as "super lo-fi ."

Covers of "Shake. Raule and Roll," "Kicked out of Webelos" and "Don't leave me" hine on the Japanese quartet's first LP.

Watch for these guys coming through Denver, they jam.

John SwiMhe METROPOLITAN

Bradley ball catches fire in coaches 2nd year Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The holiday season coincided with the preseason for the men's basketball team and with a I 0-4 record going in to the Colorado Athletic Conference season - 'Tis the season to be jolly' for the Roadrunners.

After suffering through a miserable 6-21 campaign in his head coaching debut in 1994-95, Metro coach Charles Bradley is ahead of schedule with his task of rebuilding the men's program. The staff got rid of all but four players from last year's team and the new talent is mixing well with the returning players.

Bobby Banks, Justin Land, C.J. Arellano and Gabe Trujillo are the only players left from the team that set a Metro record for futility last year. With the addition of Brigham Young University transfer Cory Reader and solid play from freshman recruits Jeremy Ward and Martin Glastetter, the Roadrunners field a competitive team that is beginning to turn heads in the CAC.

A solid performance against 10th ranked University of Nebraska­Kearney Jan. 11 , a 93-75 loss in which Metro led by as many as 14 and was tied at 44 at the half before being outscored 49-31 in the second, is reason to believe Bradley's rebuilding plan will work.

The Roadrunners had won six straight prior to the UNK loss and carry an eight game home winning streak into Saturday's contest with 14th ranked Regis University.

With recent wins over Cal State Los Angeles, University of Northern Colorado and Montana State-Billings, Metro has been ranked as high as I 0th regionally.

The Roadrunners are second in the CAC in scoring at 84 points per game while allowing 74, good for third in the conference.

The new mix of players is paying off individually as well. Senior point guard Bobby Banks is the Division II assist leader

with 9.3 per game and is second in the conference in steals with two picks per game.

Forward Justin Land leads the conference in steals with 2.1 per game and is fourth in scoring with 17 points per game.

Reader, the tallest player in Metro history at 7-feet, averages two blocks and eight rebounds per game, good for second and third in the conference.

Heading into CAC play, Metro is third behind Regis and the University of Denver and should give both schools a hard time in the battle for conference supremacy.

CHRISTMAS DISH: Metro men's basketball player C.J. Arellano passes inside against Winona State on Jan. 6. The Roadrunners won 89-72 and compiled a 10-4 non-confer­ence record over Christmas break.

The Roadrunners kick off the CAC schedule at 3 p.m. Saturday when Regis visits, then travel to DU Jan. 27 and University of Southern Colorado Feb. 1.

Metro plays its last non-conference game Tuesday at Auraria Events Center against Colorado College at 7 p.m.

Swimmers continue to have individual success Roadrunners team record suffers due to lack of swimmers - still hopeful for Nationals

Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Metro swimmers continued to turn in strong individual performances this month, but they still struggle to score as a team.

The Roadrunners have earned high score placements within the Intermountain Swimming League conference individual­ly, but these combined scores were only enough to win two meets for the men.

One of these wins was in the Short Pentathlon meet against Millikin University on Jan. 5; the men took it with a score of 67-26. The other win was 144-

89 against Colorado College on Dec. 16. Both the men and the women swam

for very strong individual times at the Iowa Invitational on Dec. 1 and 2, though team scores didn't reflect this. The men came in third of four and the women scored sixth of ten. Top times for the women came from freshman Kristin Schweissing in the 500-yard freestyle (5: 11.32) and the 200-yard backstroke (2: 13.40); sophomore Angela Hillsten in the 100-yard fly (I :03.26) and the 200-yard fly (2: 18.43); and sophomore Kelly Davis in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:34.0 I). Top scores for the men were had by sophomore Scott Watson in the 200-yard individual medley (1:58.34),the 400-yard individual medley (4: 14.62), the 200-

yard breaststroke (2:13.74), and the 100-yard breaststroke (I :02.52); senior Linc Carlton in the 200-yard individual medley (2: 11.83), the I 00 yard backstroke (57 .80), and the 200-yard backstroke (2:03.92); sophomore Kyle Cook in the 1650-yard freestyle (I 7:31.36) and the 200-yard fly (2: 12.22); freshman Penn Schlitt in the 1650-yard freestyle (17:40.69). Many of the scores from this meet were recorded as season highs for the team. Individually, the swimmers enjoyed many strong times, such as the school record set by the relay team of senior Tori Ainlay, Davis, Hillsten, and Schweissing in the 400-yard relay (4: 16.71) at the University of Northern Colorado meet on Dec. 16.

The Intermountain Swimming

League, which includes Metro, Colorado College, Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado-Boulder, and Denver University, published a report of the top times (week of Dec. 4- IO) of the conference, ranking many of Metro's swimmers.

These include, for the women, Hillsten, Schweissing, Davis, and fresh­man Kim Roseboom; and for the men, Strickland, junior Tracy Fostvedt, fresh­man Mike True, sophomore Matt Calhoun, Schlitt, Watson, Cook, sophomore Davey Taylor, and Carlton.

The Roadrunners next meet is the Intermountain Swimming League Diving competition at DU, as well as the ISL Relays, tomorrow, Jan. 20.

22 The METROPOJ.ITAN JANUARY 19, 1996

Women prepare to def end CAC. title Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

start 2-0

The women's basketball team plowed through its non­conference schedule over Christmas break and ended up win­ning eight of I 3 games before entering Colorado Athletic Conference play Jan. 10 agains t Regis University.

After finishing 12-0 last season in the CAC, the only way the Roadrunners can out-do themselves would be by winning the CAC Tournament. Metro lost a controversial game to the University of Denver in the tournament final in a game dom­inated by inconsistent officiating .

Metro is 2-0 in the CAC with victories over Regis (55-43) and Colorado Christian University on Jan. 13 (67-41 ).

The Roadrunners are led by CAC leading scorer and last year's conference player-of-the-year Vanessa Edwards. Edwards, who scored 37 points Dec . I against Johnson C. Smith University, is averaging 24 points per game this year, seven more per game than last year when she also led the conference.

Chalae Collard is third in the conference in scoring with 16 per game and Shiloh Justice leads the CAC in rebounding with 11 per outing.

In fact, four of Metro 's five starters are among leaders in various conference statistical categories. Point guard Tammi Baumgardner leads the conference in assists with six per game and is fifth in steals with 2.3 per game.

· Metro coach Darryl Smith said this group is the best starting five he has coached and that if they stay healthy they could win the conference again.

"I don't think anyone can beat us," Smith said. "DU and Air Force will be our toughest opponents."

Metro gets its first look at those t eams next week as Air Force comes to Auraria Events center Wednesday for a 7 p.m. contest and Metro goes to DU Saturday for a 3 p.m. game.

Smith said the team is starting to play together and could finish as strong as last season.

"We have been so banged up," Smith said. "If everyone gets healthy we are tough."

John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN

The Roadrunners have improved dramatically over last season's 2-12 non-conference record. With 10 CAC games remaining Smith and the Roadrunners will have to wait until the tournament to find out if they are ready to take the next step - a national tournament bid.

To gain a berth in the Division II National Tournament -a feat the Roadrunners accomplished two season's ago -thev must win the CAC Tournament.

RELEASE, ROTATION, SPLASH: Metro women's basketball player Ali Betcher puts up a jump shot against Colorado Christian University on Jan. 13. The Roadrunners beat CCU 67-41 to improve to 10-5 overall and 2-0 in the CAC.
