EVERY 15 SECONDS ... On January 30, 1987, Pamela Mcintyre-Marcum was shot to death by her ex-husband on the

Auraria campus. Pamela Mcintyre-Marcum was a professor of Marketing and Advertising for Metropolitan State College of Denver from 1973 to 1987. Prior to that time, she traveled through Europe and taught on Air Force Bases. She received her education from the University of Florida. While at Metro, she was the faculty sponsor of Phi Chi Theta and served on several campus committees as well as faculty senate. In 1980, she was named Educator of the Vear by the Associated Students of MSCD and in 1981, she served as president of the Gove Community School Advisory Board. Her students thought of her as a "warm and caring individual" even though she was demanding in the classroom.

"/ did not have the chance to know these things about my mother until recently because at the time she was killed, I was only ten years old. I remember the pain I felt when my father hit my mother and the many times I tried to get them to stop fighting. My mom said that the most appealing thing about me was my lovingness and ability to make unique statements. I wanted to write this memorial for my mother because I know that my brother and I are suNivors. Even though life has not always been easy, we are proud of ourselves and proud of who our mother was. Brendan and I are both strong people and have many plans and goals for our Jives. Now I want to remember my mom and all of the special things about her. .. her smile, her beauty, and especially, her dedication to life. I miss her very much." Michaela Marcum

"We are grateful for the friends and family that have stood by our sides over the nine years since we lost our mother. We love our mother and hope that some day we will meet up with her again. " Michaela and Brendan Marcum

~ Auraria begins search for director

...

Committee, management consultant firm lead job of developing profile for the position Frank Kimitch The METROPOLITAN

The search for a new executive vice president of administration for Auraria has begun.

A search committee charged with sorting out the details of the search met last week to begin collecting a list of attributes that will be expected of the new director of the largest campus in Colorado.

In addition to the committee, a management consul­tant firm from New Jersey is responsible for producing a client profile, conducting the search and establishing a pool of 15 semi-finalists.

•administrative and business services • facilities planning and use • facilities management • parking and transportation services • public safety • student services Auraria's last administrator, JoAnn Soker, resigned in

August after the expansion deal with AMC Theaters went sour. The person who fills the position will be paid at least $93,000. However he or she could be paid more depend­ing on experience.

Soker

Council, which is comprised of the presidents of all three Auraria schools and the vice president of administration. The council meets monthly to discuss campus-wide issues.

An advertisement for the position ran over the weekend in both The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News and the will run again in The Post this weekend. National adver­tising will not be pursued.

The firm, Gilbert Tweed, is being paid $20,000 to find the new person in charge of all non-academic aspects of Auraria.

Management of state, federal and bond funds resides under the auspices of the position as well as Auraria's fis­cal and capital assets.

The job description asks for a "fully experienced manger and proven leader who possesses strong interper­sonal and communication skills." The administrator also serves as a full member of the Auraria Executives

Instead, the search committee is relying on Gilbert Tweed to use its resources for a national search. The application deadline is Feb. 9.

Along with a budget of approximately $35 million, the administrator is in charge of several divisions of Auraria including:

After Gilbert Tweed narrows the applicants to 15, the search committee will recommend to the Auraria Board a list of five finalists.

Classes lack rooms Most professors . receive space, others wait Alisha Woodson The METROPOLITAN

As if parking on campus and getting loan checks was not a problem the first week of school, some teachers were left without classrooms.

Debra Goldman, a professor of pho­tography, said all last semester she taught class without a room and did so the first day back to class.

"We thought we had a room, but we show up and the room is full of people."

Goldman said that she had made an agreement to meet in WC 261.

Goldman said she is teaching an advanced photography class and does not want a repeat of last semester, where classes met in art galleries in LoDo, out­side on good weather days or in the hall­way where her first class of this semester was held.

Typically, Auraria takes class sched­ule information from Metro, University of Colorado-Denver and Community College of Denver and divide the rooms accordingly. Once Auraria has exhausted its space, finding rooms for the remain­ing classes is the problem of the three schools.

Barbara Duckworth, who does class scheduling and room assignments for Metro, has had to deal with the space problems brought on by Auraria's class­room shortage.

Lingering locker line

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

Art students rush to get top lockers in the Arts Building. Lockers were given out from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and Wednesday. Top lockers are easier to store art work, students said.

Duckworth said Auraria turned the room allocation problems over to her Jan. 12. She said that week, there were about 150 scheduled classes without rooms. As of the first day of school, Duckworth said she had narrowed the list down to about 60 classes without rooms.

Duckworth said the construction in the Plaza Building is one reason for the room shortage. Last year Metro spent $70,000 for four temporary classrooms and is still paying the rent for them.

Allen Sziklas is teaching Spanish at Metro for the first time. He canceled his first class because, he too, had no room.

"I have taught in countries without the resources available on this campus and this has never happened to me," he said.

Sziklas said if he were a student, he would be angry and want a refund for the classes that were not placed in rooms and therefore canceled.

He said he understood that with three

schools on one campus, find ing classroom space must be difficult, but the current sit­uation is a little hard to believe.

At the time of publication, Goldman said she received her classroom space in WC 261.

She said she had to teach two and one-half classes in the hallways.

According to the Modern Languages Department, Sziklas received one room Wednesday, but is waiting for one more.

The Auraria pool closed mid­December after it began to leak 14,000 gallons of water per day.

The pool is now getting a complete overhaul.

"It got to the point where we knew it , was getting worse and worse," said Jim

Kelley, director of facilities management for Auraria.

Repairs scheduled for this summer have been moved up in an emergency pro­

. ject that involves everything from replac­

. ing the entire plumbing system to installing new diving platforms.

The pool was drained Dec. 15 and replacement of the plumbing system, along with other repairs, began immediate­ly thereafter, said Dick Feuerborn, director of facilities planning and use for Auraria.

He said the repairs will cost approxi­mately $250,000 and that installing a new swimming pool would have probably cost about $800,000.

For several years the pool had been leaking 4,000 gallons of water per day. It began leaking 14,000 gallons per day in early November Feuerborn said.

Kelley said the increase in leakage was expected, but that "we didn't know when it was going to happen."

He said the repairs scheduled for this summer were put on a faster track due to

the leaks getting worse and the $210,000 in emergency funds from the state that were appropriated for the repairs.

"We met with the institution and decided 'let's bite the bullet and get it accomplished,"' said Jim Fasano, Auraria manager of construction, maintenance and landscaping.

The pool closing has affected the swim classes scheduled for spring semes-

ter, said Cheryl Norton, chairwoman for Human Performance Sport and Leisure Studies.

Six of the seven classes scheduled for the semester have been canceled according to the HPSL Department.

"On one hand I expected a negative influence," Norton said. "On the other hand, the repairs needed to be done."

Closing affects classes From page 4

Norton said one class which has a large lecture component is still in session and that the swim portion of the dass is being postponed until the pool reopens.

The aluminum pool, installed in 1976, was thought to be economical. Fasano said that along with the pool, the piping was also made of aluminum.

He said the aluminum is very corro­sive and that it began showing signs of leaking 10 years after it had been installed.

In order to control leakage the alu­minum requires painting at regular inter­vals and Fasano said the paint will not stay on due to the combination of metal, water and chemicals. In place of the paint, a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) liner, which is a heavy plastic liner, is being installed to protect the aluminum.

Fasano said it will take five full days to get the pool filled and heated and chem­ically treat the water.

Members of the Denver Fire Department will assist in filling the pool by using fire hoses and will help the filling process move faster, Fasano said.

The pool is scheduled to reopen on Feb. 10.

Pool facts Repairs since December:

• The entire plumbing system replaced with PVC piping, which is a heavy plastic liner.

• The direction from which the water is brought into the pool has been changed - the pool is now filled from the bottom rather than from the sides, which is cheaper. To fill the pool from the sides would require replacing the entire perime­ter system.

• Installation of a PVC liner on the inside of the pool.

• Modifications have been made to the bulkhead, the piece sep­arating the deep and shallow ends. The modifications will make the bulkhead more easily adjustable and will allow divers to jump into deep­er water.

Repairs left to be made: •Replacement of the rubber

flooring around the pool. •Installation of small diving

platforms.

Auraria wants fee increase Reserve money cannot be used; funds must come from the students

Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Members of Auraria administration, students and faculty members came together late in the fall semester to discuss Auraria's bond fees.

The forum served to discuss a possible change in the payment structure of the bonds covering the renovation of the Tivoli, the Auraria Child Care Center and the Auraria Events Center.

Though the panel was formed to dis­cuss a possible increase in student fees, less than I 0 students attended the meeting.

Currently, the bond payment obliga­tion for students is set at $16 for one to three credit hours, $25 for four to six hours, $36 for seven to I I hours and $53 for hours of 12 or more. These amounts represent the money students pay each semester.

According to a schedule developed by Auraria to show the available options, every student from all three schools on campus could pay $39.50 per semester regardless of hours taken. Other payment options included a $3 increase on the $16 and $25 fees and a $2 increase on the $36 fee, while allowing the $53 fee for credits of 12 or more to remain unchanged.

Option two designates that the $16 to $36bases remain while increasing the $53 base to $56.50.

Option three would institute a $1.50 increase for all credit hours, meaning

Wolf

that the group paying a $16 fee now, will pay $17.50.

Dean Wolf, interim executive vice president of administration for Auraria, said the options fulfill the 20-year bond agreement of$I,537,735.

The current payment schedule is falling short of the bond obligation by over $50,000 which will be evident by fall, according to a schedule compiled by the Auraria panel members. This is because the students are not paying enough to meet the bond by the current schedule, panel members said. ·

Student panel members suggested other ways of raising money without bur­dening students with increased fees, including taking money from reserve funds.

Wolf said that this was not possible and that reserve funds cannot cover this obligation and that the money must come from the students.

LUNCH TIME: McDonald's Express opened for the first week of class and was greeted by great amounts of business during lunch hours.

McDonald's serves miniature menu Keri Close The METROPOLITAN

The first week of spring semester brought plenty of business for the Tivoli food court's newest outlet.

McDonald's Express remained busy all last week, as returning students took advantage of the new option.

The prices at McDonald 's Express vary only slightly from those at other metro area franchises. Value meals range in price from $2.99 to $3.99. An All American Meal, which includes a ham­burger or cheeseburger, a small order of fries, and a small beverage is priced I 0 cents higher at the Tivoli location, but most of the other prices are consistent with the other McDonald's locations.

"All McDonald's are independently owned," said Janice Lane, manager of the Tivoli location. "So the prices will vary slightly from store to store."

The menu in the Tivoli McDonald's is not as extensive as the metro area's tradi­tional McDonald's restaurants. The break­fast menu at the Tivoli McDonald's con­sists of only the Egg McMuffin, the Sausage McMuffin with egg, and hash

browns. The normal sandwiches and value meals are available for lunch, along with the Double Big Mac, which is usually offered only as a special at the other stores. McChicken sandwiches are on the menu, but no salads or pies are offered at the new store.

Lane said the miniature menu is because of the restaurant's size. "Everything is more compact, there's less space," Lane said.

McDonald's fits right in to the Tivoli food court, according to Director of Tivoli management Barb Weiske.

Though McDonald's appears to have received the heaviest business last week, Weiske is confident sales for the other out­lets will level out. "Whenever you add a new outlet, the others sales are going to fluctuate a bit. People are going to want to try something new. It will start to settle down in a bit," Weiske said.

Weiske added the growing diversity in the Tivoli excites her and that with each added outlet, the Tivoli as a whole seems to gain new customers.

"We must be doing something right," she said.

JANUARY 26. 1996 The METROPOLJTAN 9

I -Pat yourself on the back There is a unique feeling about

the beginning of a new semester. Everyone is searching for new class­rooms, lingering in what seem to be endless lines for books, financial aid, class printouts and food, and racing for a treasured parking space.

There is also a sense of antici­pation and eagerness that drives students to continue a pursuit of one of life's most prized opportunit ies: an education.

As students we will face long hours studying, financial stress and moments of limited motivation.

But we keep going. Why? I sup­pose the answer to that question is as varied as the 16,000-plus stu­dents who attend this college. The ultimate goal is a degree or certifica­tion. There are those who attend for the pure joy of learning. I wish I could say I was one of them. All the rea­sons are personal, but important enough to keep us going.

There are professors we enjoy and some we don't. I would like to hear from you about those teachers that you feel are the best and ones you would recommend to others.

There are subjects that spark our interest and others that make us cringe. But, we keep going. •

The temptation to quit can be overwhelming. This semester offers numerous challenges. Some days it's too cold and we don't feel like going to class, but oddly enough it would be a perfect day to head up to the slopes.

Toward the end of the semester spring fever will set in and the sun will beckon to remain outdoors. But, we keep going.

We make a willing and con-

Louis A. Landa

LOOKING AT.

LIFE

scious decision to do it. We are not forced. No one is holding a gun to our heads. Face it, we want to be here.

Perhaps you don't think about it very often, but going to college is an admirable endeavor. Look at your fel­low students in any of your classes and you will see people exactly like you in one important aspect: they all want to know more. Regardless of ethnic, racial , religious, economic or philosophical differences, we do have the unifying characteristic of wanting to know more. If we all try to remember that, I think we will all come a little closer to understanding ourselves.

It's pleasing to see new faces on campus and mildly disturbing to see faces that seem to have been here forever.

r

I mentioned students waiting in lines and I find it interesting that the only line that seems longer than the lines at the financial-aid office is the one at the cashier.

I had a friend who offered me some advice about paying for col­lege. She said, "Do what you can. Make all the sacrifices necessary. Don't be afraid to take out loans. Remember they can't repossess your education."

To those students who are at the beginning of their college education I say, be patient, don't give up and don't hesitate to ask for help. We all need it at some point.

To those of us who are entering our last semester, I say, congratula­tions. We only have 100 or so days to go.

To those of you who are some­where in between, I encourage you to keep looking forward, but never forget how far you have come.

So pat yourself on the back, you deserve it. And if you know of a stu­dent who is overcoming exceptional challenges to attend college offer them an added word of support.

In the hectic life of a college stu­dent you should never forget to be proud of yourself.

F EATO RES JANUARY26. 1995 TheMETROPOLITAH 11

French cave paintings found Prehistoric art find predates oldest known cavern drawings Chris Mancuso The METROPOLITAN

G ood fortune has shone its elusive light upon the mingled worlds of archaeology and art history. Jean Clottes, general conservator of the National

Heritage and Scientific Advisor on Prehistoric Art for the French Ministry of Culture met an audience in the Tivoli Student Union Sunday afternoon to talk about this good fortune.

In 1991 Clottes received a phone call of an astound­ing nature; a cav~ had been discovered. This cave was said to hold a wealth of prehistoric art - scores of paintings of animals, geometric signs and hand stencils - would he come out right away? Oh yes, and by the way, the cave's entrance is submerged in 120 feet of water and three divers have lost their lives trying to navigate the watery enclave. Only an expert diver, not Clottes, could safely explore the cave.

Clottes soon found himself in the South of France, perched on a storm-swept cliff, huddled over a video monitor excitedly directing a diver by microphone in order to closely examine the artwork he would never see in person. The discovery of the Cosquer Cave, named after the expert diver who discovered it, was a genuine find.

Fully two-thirds of the cave was submerged by the flooding of the Mediterranean at the end of the last ice age. The sea water had destroyed any markings on the cave walls, however, the remaining third of the cave sys­tem rose out of the water to create a hidden undersea gallery. These cave surfaces were covered with represen­tations of horses, bison, seals and perhaps most remark­ably, auks (the southern hemispheres relative of the pen­guin). This was the first representation of the auk ever found. In addition to the 151 animals cataloged, also

CAVE ART: This depiction of a rhinoceros is one of the paintings found in newly discovered caverns in the South of France. found were indecipherable geometric symbols and hand stencils. Some of the hand stencils were painted with incomplete digits, which Clottes hypothesizes may repre­sent a form of sign language.

Carbon dating placed the hand stencils at 27,000 years-old, 9,500 years earlier than the famous Lascaux cave, home to the oldest cave paintings previously record­ed.

On Dec. 28, 1994, the Clottes family was preparing for a New Year's reunion at their home when the tele­phone rang <?nee again. Another cave had be~n found, this time in a well traveled area in the Southeast of France.

;

The caller finished by requesting Clottes come immedi-ately. He left that very day to arrive at a well explored minor cave system in a heavily trafficked tourist area. A group of spelunkers who specialized in searching known cave systems for hidden passages had fou~d an inexplica-

ble draft in a closed area, and had uncovered a flat, narrow passage barely wide enough to pass a man's shoulders. Stripped of his gear, nude except for a pair of coveralls and able to use only fingers and toes to propel himself Cfottes traversed the long, 15 foot squirm through the tube of stone. What he emerged to find would be the most incredible Paleolithic art discovery in history.

The Chauvet Cave as it is now known, is still under exploration. Portions of the cave are inaccessible due to the reluctance of scientists to disturb what have been iden­tified as human footprints in soft clay deposits along the cave floor. Accessible cave walls contain 263 animal rep­resentations of 14 different species. Among the paintings are beautiful rare renderings of the woolly bison, cave lion, cave bear, leopard, hyena, a long eared owl and a swan. This variety is remarkable in that previous cave paintings contain animals which were used for food. The creatures recorded in the Chauvet Cave were not a food source, but were painted for some other aesthetic reason. Additionally, the earliest recorded use of spatial perspec­tive is overwhelmingly evident throughout this cave sys­tem. This challenges the belief that perspective painting was the product of the European Renaissance.

These paintings, rendered in iron oxide, charcoal and manganese oxide have been carbon dated at 32,000 years old.

Two earthshaking discoveries in three years, the sec­ond more profound than the first and Clottes in the mid­dle of it all. This pleasant middle-aged academic who somehow manages to speak with both a British and French accent, seems both excited and slightly bemused by this good fortune and his role in these two important discoveries.

What might come next? It good luck come in threes.

'All That' and 'I Don't Think So' awards doled out Prizes given to worthy and not-so-worthy actors, musicians, entertainers

N ow that we are well into 1996, I felt it was time to announce the 1995 All That and I Don't Think So

awards. These awards are divvied up arbitrarily by me to denote the best and the worst entertainers of 1995.

So, without further ado, I give you the first All That award for best concert of 1995. That award goes to Blues Traveler for their July 4 concert which was simply phenomenal. Honorable mentions have to go to Boys II Men, Tori Amos, and Harry Connick Jr.

The All That award for best album of 1995 goes to the Jazz genre, for Roy Hargrove's Family. The I Don't Think So award must be happi­ly delivered by me to those worthless punk wannabes, Green Day, for their even more than worthless album, Insomnia.

I feel I must give an I Don't Think So award to Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie for their marriage, as well as an All That award for their break-up. It appeared fairly obvious

to me that the marriage was entered into in order to help distract the public from Mike's image as a pedophile. Didn't work, did it Mike? Dave Flomberg

The next I Don't Think So award goes to Alanis Morissette for doing her damnedest to become the most marketable . Canadian since Jim Carrey. She is nothing more than the result of a good P.R. man. Speaking of good P.R., an All That award for public relations goes to attorney Johnnie Cochran for reasons more than obvious, while the I Don't Think So award for the same category goes to, you guessed it, Marcia Clark.

The All That award for best ani­mal entertainer of 1995 goes to Courtney Love, while the All That award for best child entertainer of 1995 goes to Ross Perot, with honor­able mentions to Newt Gingrich and

Hillary Clinton. On to Hollywood. The All That

award for best picture of 1995 is Heat, with honorable mentions to Higher Learning and Get Shorty. The I Don't Think So award for worst pic­ture of 1995 goes to Mad Love, with honorable mentions to Clueless and Waterworld.

As far as rap goes, can the All That award go anyone but Coolio for "Gangsta's Paradise?" Skee-Lo wins the I Don't Think So award, hands down, for "I Wish I was A Little Bit Taller."

Television, you ask? Well, of course Seinfeld would get the All That award, while the I Don't Think So award has to go to Murder, She Wrote. I mean, just how many mur­ders can you place one person at, yet never have her as the suspect?

Dave F/omberg is the Features edi­tor for The Metropolitan. Look for his weekly column.

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN COVER UP: Courtney Love shows why she won an All That award for the best animal performer of '95.

BELLY UP: David Bispham, 37, tends bar at My Brother's Bar at 15th and Platte St. as he has for most of the last eight years. The bar has

John Swift/The METROPOLITAN

been open for business for the last 26 years. Even with the LoDo crunch the bar has remained a local favorite.

My Brother's Bar For a quieter, more intimate atmosphere a quick

jaunt down 15th street will take you to My Brother's Bar (we're not really related).

One of the most notable attractions in the bar, hangs right by the telephone booth. It's an old handwritten let­ter by Beat generation icon Neal Cassidy, who after a couple of whiskeys, decided to write to his reformatory officer in Salida and asks him to take care of an unpaid bar tab of a couple of whiskeys.

More than just a watering hole, My Brother's Bar has a dimly-lit atmosphere, accompanied by live classi-

cal music every Saturday night from 7 p.m. to midnight. For the last 26 years, My Brother's Bar has been

located in the same building at 2376 15th street. The building can not be designated as a historical landmark because of major construction changes to it.

"The building has been mutilated. In the ?O's we had a car come through the front of the place, and all kinds of other changes," said bar owner Jim Karagas.

The most popular menu item is the Johnny Burger, which is a one-half pound burger with three kinds of cheeses.

aTOnYSY llOS!llT Anl!TTA

To wash down the Johnny Burger, General Manager Greg Ursetta suggests a draft beer. Not just standard Milwaukee swi ll is served at this bar.

"We have 13 micros, imports and domestics on tap," Ursetta said.

Red Hook Ale and Guiness are the two best selling beers, according to Ursetta.

With the average price of a meal being around $6, My Brothers Bar does a bustling business.

"We do around 1,000 people a week here," Ursetta said. "It's a fun place to go."

'That is definitely our most popular dish, about one out of four people order it."

Over 500 wild-game trophies line the walls, giving the patrons the opportunity to see what their meal may have looked like once.

Besides the trophies a rare-gun collection is on display along with different Native American artifacts including an Arapaho Indian wedding dress.

"Some of the trophies were donated from patrons but most are part of the Zeitz family collection, who were big time hunters," Dutton said.

To compliment dinner, a Cowboy poet and folk singer performs Wednesday through Saturday in the lounge at dinner time.

When a patron is soaking in the rustic ambiance, they can also treat themselves to one of the Buckhorn Exchange's specialty drinks. According to Dutton the Jackalope is a drink that is sure to please.

JAZ2 ME: The El Chapultepec is Denver's oldest existing Jazz bar.

El Chapultepec If cowboy poetry isn't upbeat enough,

or if you prefer your food con mas f11ego. El Chapultepec is a must stop.

Nestled in a historical building on the comer of 20th and Market street for 63 years, El Chapultepec has had live bands since it first opened its doors on the Fourth of July, 1933, the first day of the repeal of prohibition.

The original owner, Tony Romano, established the place to center around its live jazz music.

"We're a jazz place, we've always been a jazz place and jazz is our specialty,' Jerry Krantz, owner and manager, said.

Krantz took over the business in 1951 and being the son-in-law of Romano, he has

kept the business the same as it originally was.

"Music is our mainstay and the food is a supplement," Krantz said.

The house band takes the stage at 9 p.m. seven days a week and the only cover charge is a one drink minimum for each music set.

Krantz's choice drink is the grasshop­per. Not the type from Kung Fu but they still deliver a kick of their own.

Open from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., El Chapultepec's affordable menu makes this a place fun and easy to frequent.

"Our most expensive dish is $6," Krantz said.

The spirit behind El Chapultepec is best summed up in its slogan painted on the wall, "Hot burritos, cool jazz."

'From Dusk Till Dawn' a Tarantino yawn Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

I t's violent, it's crazy, it's downright gory - but it's nothing like Pulp Fiction.

Quentin Tarantino's newest motion picture From Du.sk till Dawn, will delight the slasher fan, surprise the Tarantino hard-core fan and scare away everybody who just got caught in the Tarantino-craze of last year.

It seems as if Du.sk writer Tarantino, together with his friend Robert Rodriguez (writer and director of El Mariachi and the director of Dusk), is trying to weed out a fan following overgrown to jungle-propor­tions.

hunt-of-the­bad kind of movie.

If you liked Pulp and therefore think you like Tarantino-movies - think again, Dusk might just prove you wrong.

Yes, there is cool music and there are some of those really morbid-funny moments, and Harvey Keitel is in it too, but it takes a lot more to be a real Tarantino connoisseur.

The Gecko brothers forcefully invite the Fuller family to join them in their wait for a Mexican mobster, who for a small percentage will help the Geeko brothers settle down.

The place to meet is the "Titty 1\vister," an entertainment establishment of the fleshy kind - or so we think.

What looks like a cheap, cheesy striptease joint turns out to be the front parlor to hell inhabited by creatures of the underworld - also known as vampires.

From that first bite on, the viewer gets to sit back and enjoy a good hour of a slaughter fest, full of special effects that leave nothing to the imagination and can be hard on sensitive stomachs.

Instead of mind-boggling dialogues, you get spine-twisting horror scenes. Instead of great acting, you see great actors almost drown in special effects.

I admit that the repetitious action of brutally killing ugly creatures that have the annoying habit of bursting into slime and flames didn't do it for me.

If you must see it, eat your popcorn in the first twenty minutes and forget every­thing you thought you liked about Tarantino movies. It's a hell of a movie.

N ot too many students are aware of the abundance of programs avail­able at Metro; one of the pro­grams unheard of by many is

Veterans Upward Bound. The program serves veterans, from

those who have not finished high school to those who have experienced some col­lege, in helping them make a smooth transition into the different educational settings.

Glenn A. Morris, director of VUB, said the requirements for the program are that someone is a veteran and has the "willingness and motivation to succeed."

Jake Lindsay, assistant director of the veterans' program describes the program as "A great transition from the military to civilian life to college."

VUB began exclusively as a program for Vietnam veterans seeking education. The Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare helped launch the program in 1972 and it was established at Metro in 1973.

Morris said there are 45 students in the program.

'I think it is a great oppor­tunity for veterans, who may have not otherwise

succeeded to go on and do well'

-Glenn A. Morris

Funding for the program comes from the U.S. Department of Education. This covers the students books, tuition and fees.

"They (the veterans) only have to provide the time," Morris said.

Morris said VUB was generally awarded $600,000 for three years. Due to the tremendous success with the program, Morris said VUB was recently given $1.25 million for five years.

VUB offers students a wide variety of courses such as English composition, study skills, basic mathematics to pre-cal­culus, Spanish, biology and computer lit­eracy.

Most teachers come from the Auraria

campus and work on a part-time basis, Morris added.

"I think it is a great opportunity for veterans, who may have not otherwise succeeded, to go on and do well," Morris said.

Leroy Chavez, a political science major at Metro, went through the pro­gram and now works as a peer advisor.

Chavez served in the army and had been out of school for eight years.

"I was very hesitant about returning to school," Chavez said.

Chavez enrolled in VUB from Feb. 1993 to May 1993.

"It brought back a lot of skills that I lost when I was in the military," Chavez said. "It's highly beneficial."

Chavez said the only downfall of the program is that it is not very well known and other veterans may miss out on the opportunities.

For more information about the Veteran Upward Bound program contact Glenn A. Morris at 556-2993.

MERRY MOB: Regis University players celebrate a last second victory over Metro on Saturday at Auraria Events Center. RU's Brock Trice hit the game winning shot as time expired.

Metro loses thriller to Regis Roadrunners lose at buzzer to 17th-ranked Rangers Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Any real athlete or coach will tell you that moral victories are for losers. If ever that rule should have an exception, Metro's last second, three-point loss to 17th ranked Regis University is it.

Led by freshman Martin Glastetter -17 points and nine rebounds in just 24 minutes - Metro gave the Rangers all they could handle in front of 1,069 rowdy fans at Auraria Events Center. If not for two incredible, buzzer beating shots (one from half-court at the halftime buzzer by Regis' Reggie Gibson and one by Brock Trice to win the game), the Roadrunners would have pulled off the upset of the year.

With five seconds left in regulation and the score tied at 70, Trice drove the length of the floor and sank a three-point­er at the buzzer to break the Roadrunners'

hearts and win the game for the Rangers. Metro coach Charles Bradley, who

saw his team win in similar fashion Jan. 17 when Bobby Banks hit a last-second shot to give the Roadrunners a 67-65 win over the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, said those types of finishes are just a part of the game.

"When you live by the sword, you die by the sword," Bradley said. "He (Trice) hit a great shot, and that's what happens."

In the second year of Metro's rebuild­ing program, the men's basketball team has gone from pretender to contender -with quickness!

With a 13-5 record, including 1-1 in the Colorado Athletic Conference, the Roadrunners are legitimately in the race to finish first or second in the CAC. The home loss to Regis on Saturday probably made second place a realistic possibility, but with the potential Metro showed

against Regis, who knows? While Regis snapped Metro's eight­

game home winning streak, the Roadrunners quickly rediscovered their winning ways Tuesday against Colorado College. A 92-81 victory in their last non­conference game against a I 0-6 team proved that the Regis game was no aberra­tion.

Justin Land led the way for Metro, scoring a game-high 26 points on I 0- I 9 shooting while Jeremy Ward hit for 19.

The Roadrunners fell behind by five early but went on a 13-2 run and led 27-17 with 8:23 remaining in the first half. Metro took control of the game late in the second half after seesawing with CC for the better part of the second half.

Bradley credited CC for never going away down the stretch.

"Make no mistake, Colorado College is a very good basketball team," Bradley

said. ' 'I'm proud of the way our guys stepped up tonight. They responded well to a team that just wouldn't quit."

Metro won the game on the glass, out­rebounding CC 49-38. Glastetter led the Roadrunners with IO boards.

Metro shot .484 from the field while holding CC to .419.

In a season full of bright spots, none may be brighter than the success Banks is enjoying. Banks, a senior who has seen it all as a Roadrunner, dished out 13 assists against CC and leads the nation with 9.1 per game.

The Roadrunners get another big test Saturday when they travel to the University of Denver to take on the Pioneers.

The game is the first of a Metro-DU double-header. The men tip-off at I p.m., then the lady-Roadrunners take on the Pioneers at 3.

20 The METROPOLITAN JANUARY 26. 1996

Women bouncing conference opponents B-ball team extends regular season conference win-streak to 21 with win over Air Force

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The Colorado Athletic Conference season has become a formality for the women's basketball team. Wednesday's 72-62 win over Air Force at Auraria Events Center marked the 21st straight regular season CAC win for Metro.

While the Roadrunners (12-5), (4-0 CAC) looked sloppy and disinterested at times, who could blame them? Leading by double digits for most of the first half, the Roadrunners pounded the ball inside to Vanessa Edwards, who finished with 22 first half points and 30 for the game.

Edwards leads the CAC in scoring (second in the nation in Division II) with 25 points per game and said she's scoring more this year because she's getting the ball more. She led the CAC last season with 17 points per game.

The Roadrunners led 43-32 at half

and looked to be on cruise­control.

The game got close briefly when Air Force pulled to within

· two with 3: 18 remaining. Metro turned to Edwards and she responded, hitting two turnaround jumpers in the last two min­utes and Chalae Collard iced the game with four free-throws down the stretch.

Edwards said she likes to be the one taking the shots in the end of close games.

"I want the ball all the time, though,"

Edwards said. "Not just at the end of games."

Metro coach Darryl Smith said he would get the ball to Edwards every time down the floor if it was possible and is baffled with his team's lack of consistency.

"We can look great and then, 10 sec-onds later, look like

we've never played before in our lives," Smith said. "It frustrates me that we only play well in spells."

Smith's core players continue to turn

in solid performances, however. Point guard Tammi Baumgartner dished out nine assists to go with her six points and four steals and Collard, the CAC's second leading scorer, hit for her average - 18 points. Shiloh Justice had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Roadrunners have played well enough to jump out to a 4-0 conference record and as usual are the team to beat in the CAC. Metro will play the University of Denver - the team that beat them in the CAC Tournament final last season and the last team to beat them in the conference regular season - on Saturday. Edwards said the team is looking forward to the rematch and that they have nothing to prove.

' 'The pressure is on them," Edwards said. ' 'They beat us in the tournament and they have all their players back. They have something to prove and more to lose."

The game will tip-off at 3 p.m. at the DU Fieldhouse.

B-ball players win 'Athlete of the Month' Men's and Women's basketball team's leading scorers garner award for December

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Metro Athletic Director William Helman announced Wednesday that bas­ketball players Justin Land and Vanessa Edwards are Male and Female Student­Athletes of the Month of December.

Land, a senior from Littleton and a graduate of Bear Creek High School, won the award for his outstanding performance during the month of December. Currently ranked in the top 10 in several statistical categories in the Colorado Athletic Conference, Land has been a key compo­nent in Metro's success this season.

Land leads the team in scoring with 16 points per game. He scored 25 against Montana State-Billings and finished with 11 rebounds against Cal State Los Angeles.

Me tr o posted a 7-1 record rn December.

Land is one of just four players to return from last year's squad.

He led the Roadrunners in scoring last season as well, but Metro was

Land

6-21 overall and were dismissed in the first round of the CAC Tournament by Colorado Christian University.

This season the Roadrunners are 12-5 overall and 1-1 in the CAC.

Edwards, also a senior, ranks second in Division II in scoring with 25.3 points

per game and has twice bro­ken the single game scoring record this sea­son.

On Dec. 1 against Johnson C. Smith University, Edwards poured in 37 points.

She shoots .594 from the floor, (18th in the nation) and averaged 6.6 rebounds per game in December.

Edwards broke her own record Jan. 18 when she lit up the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs for 39 points.

Women's basketball coach Darryl

Smith said Edwards is unstoppable. "If we could get her the ball every time

down the floor, we would," Smith said. Edwards has upped her scoring aver­

age eight points from last season and is capable of taking over any game.

The Roadrunners are 12-5 overall and have a perfect 4-0 record in the CAC.

Edwards scored 30 against Air Force Wednesday, the 21st straight CAC regular season win for the Roadrunners. Edwards hit two critical baskets in the final two minutes to help ice the game.

She led Metro to a CAC Tournament final appearance last season where the Roadrunners lost to the University of Denver.

Metro gets a chance at revenge Saturday when the Roadrunners travel to DU for a 3 p.m. game at the DU Fieldhouse.

JANUARY 26. 1996 The METROPOLITAN 21

Metro teams swim. to victory ~1· Riitr Men, women swimmers score high in DU relay, diving competition

Alisha Jeter The METROPOLITAN

After a season of strong individual performances given by the Metro men's and women's Swim Teams, it appears as though the swimmers may be coming together for a dynamic team as a whole. The Roadrunners swam to impressive successes on Jan. 20 in the Intermountain Swim Leagues Relays/Diving Competition at the University of Denver.

The women captured the first place score ( 134) well ahead of DU ( 116), Colorado School of Mines (78), University of Colorado (54), and Colorado College (48). The men came in second (114) behind Denver University and ahead of Colorado School of Mines (100), University of Colorado (52), and Colorado College (52).

Divers freshman Jennifer Larwa and sophomore Dan Purifoy, also placed well in the one-meter dive with Larwa captur­ing first with a score of 194.00 ahead of Colorado School of Mines (163.15) and Purifoy coming in second behind Colorado School of Mines (206.80) with a score of 185.20.

Major contributions to the women Roadrunners' win were made by the relay

This impressive perfor­mance ... could most cer­tainly be attributed to the increased strength and

speed ...

team of freshman Kristin Schweissing, sophomores Kelly Davis and Angela Hillsten, and senior Tori Ainlay in the 200-yard medley (first place, 5: 13.52), the 500-yard freestyle (first, 5:39.90), the 400-yard medley (first, 4:50.80), the 200-yard freestyle (first, I :59.75)and the 800-yard freestyle (second, 9:26.29), the relay team of Schweissing, Davis, and Ainlay in the 300-yard backstroke (second, 3:45.44) and in the 300-yard breaststroke (first, 4:14.18).

The men made their mark in the relay team of sophomores Matt Calhoun and Scott Watson and seniors Linc Carlton and Darwin Strickland in the 200- and

400-yard medleys (second place in both events with times of I :55.03 and 4: 19.28, respectively), as well as that of Watson, Carlton, and Strickland in the 300-yard backstroke (second 3: I 0.49). The team of freshman Mike True, sophomore Kyle Cook, junior Tracy Fostvedt, and Strickland also gave a dynamic perfor­mance in the 500-yard freestyle (first, 4:50.78) and finished second in the 400-yard freestyle with a time of 3:39.16, just eight-tenths of a second behind DU

This impressive performance by both of the Roadrunner swim teams could most certainly be attributed to the increased strength and speed the teams have exhib­ited since the beginning of the season. Tfie teams have been steadily shaving sec­onds off of their times in virtually every event.

Due to construction being done on Metro's pool, the teams are temporarily holding practices at the Denver Athletic Club. Home meets are also being swam at the club, those remaining include a meet against DU on Feb. 2 and the Intermountain Diving Championships on Feb. IO.

The Roadrunners' next meet is Jan. 27 at Colorado School of Mines at I p.m.
