RTD and Auraria negotiate deal to drop mandatory fee from $15 to $12 or less by fall Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

As Auraria's bus-pass program enters its second year, RID announced it will reduce the cost of the passes from $15.41 to $12. 13 per semester - and that fee could plunge lower by next week.

While the reduction in cost is a plus for students' wallets, results of a survey conducted by the Student Advisory

Committee to the Auraria Board have cast doubt on the popularity of the program.

Since Auraria and the transit district are in the midst of negotiating the terms of the second and final year of the federally subsidized program, the poll will have some bearing on the talks. How much the survey findings will color the negotiations is being debated by Auraria administra­tors, SACAB and Metro's Student Government Assembly.

The SACAB/Student Government Survey for Spring 1996 indicated that 49 percent of Auraria students surveyed said they are not willing to pay a $15.41 stu­dent fee per semester for an RTD bus pass. Thirty-five percent said they are willing to pay the fee, and 15 percent said it does not matter.

negotiating this year's contract with RTD - even though the survey may be flawed.

"When you get new information back you've got to weigh it," she said. "The question SACAB is asking is, 'Is a survey binding, or a vote binding?'"

Haimerl said the survey results are not a clear reflection of the popularity of the program, which was favored heavily in a SACAB representative Amy Haimerl

said the board will urge administrators to take the survey results into account while

Stairs to library fixed-again Anna Maria Basquez The METROPOLITAN

Construction of the Auraria Library stairway will be completed this week after 11 months of compromise, on-and-off demolition and a cost of nearly $58,000, pro­ject manager Kathy McNally said last week.

"We're keeping these," she said of the stairs most recent version. "We're satisfied with the results, and it's much better than it was before."

Construction began in August of 1995 when the facilities-management division of the Auraria Higher Education Center determined that some safety and maintenance issues needed to be solved, McNally said. PCL Construction Services Inc., won the bid for the project.

The top deck of the stairway had sloped toward the building over time. It caused snow and rainwater to drain toward the building, in addition to other problems, said Jim Fasano, director of construction and mainte­nance for Auraria.

'The metal strips on the stair noses (edges) deteri­orated to the point where there was a tripping hazard," he said.

In addition, the height and extension of the railings failed to meet American Disabilities Act requirements, McNally said.

She said the concerns influenced discussion among representatives -from facilities and maintenance who made the decision to have the repairs done.

The stairs have since been tom out and redone twice in the last year, McNally said. The first time, cracks formed within days of the pouring, possibly due to the high temperatures, she said. The balance also was altered with the change.

-'They took off the wood forms, so the stairs looked wavy," she added.

"When it came down to it, there were discussions as to whose problem it was, but on the whole, we were able to come to an agreement easily," she said. The

Parking fees to fund staff parking Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN

The Auraria Board unanimously approved a year-long parking experiment that would ease parking costs for some faculty and staff and potentially cost $39,000, to be funded from parking fees.

Campus faculty and staff who qualify for special permits would pay for parking just once a day, even if they leave and re­enter the parking Jot several times because of school-related business, according to the plan.

The board, which oversees the physi­cal structure of the campus, such as build­ings and parking, approved the project June 10 as part of Auraria's $37.6 million budget for 1996-97.

Although student representatives to the Auraria Board said they support the plan, Metro student government members have rejected it, saying the program is unfair when parking prices are expected to rise next year.

A pending lawsuit over faculty tenure has nothing to do with a planned revision of the Metro tenure handbook, the review committee chief said last week.

Langton said the committee is considering suggestions from the fac­ulty and iidministration.

Board members emphasized that fac­ulty and staff could re-enter a parking lot for free only if they had to leave for school-related busi­ness and that no new fee increase would be implemented to pay for the pilot pro­gram. Board member Kaplan added that

Chitwood, how­ever, said the offset would occur only by looking at the park­ing budget as a whole and that the increase from $1. 75 to $2.00 was not directly earmarked as a source of funds for faculty parking.

"The two issues are totally separate," Chitwood said.

Stevenson said the board wasn't being upfront with the students about the revenue source for the pilot program.

But Males said he was concerned about abuse of the program and budget tricks that would secretly draw student dollars.

"Things get hidden; things get mas­saged, and you don't know," Males said of Auraria's budget.

the $39,000 cost is an estimate and that the true cost will be determined through the pilot program.

"It is coming from the students one way or the other," Stevenson said.

Males, wh0se term expired following the meeting, said it was important for new SACAB members to watch the program to ensure students don't end up paying for it and that professors are using the program for school-related business only. Chitwood said Lot E - bordered by Walnut, 5th and 7th streets - provides in­and-out parking for students but that it was difficult to estimate how much that pro­gram costs. He said it couldn't cost more than $35,000 to run.

During a June 17 interview, Auraria staff director Dean Wolf said increasing parking space east of central classroom may be an alternative to the in-and-out parking program.

Auraria fires 3 execs Auraria chief cites need to trim budget, streamline administration Christopher Anderson The METROPOLITAN

An official in charge of the financially floundering Auraria, Higher Education Center dropped the budget ax on four high paying positions as part of a major organizational change to cut costs.

The cuts occurred June 17, one week after the Auraria Board unanimously approved a $37.6 million budget for 1996-97, which is a 4.6 percent increase over last year's budget.

"The re-organization has been undertaken so that we might be more streamlined and economically able to meet the needs and challenges of tomorrow," said Auraria staff director Dean Wolf, according to a press release di°stributed June 17.

Although a separate section of the budget calls for an increase of 17 full-time positions, Wolf fired parking director Andy Chitwood, student services director Phil Bustos and cam­pus architect Robert Kronewitter, who earned a combined total of nearly $300,000. Because of settlement packages and the potential of lower paid positions, Wolf estimated a $90,000 sav­ings in 1996-97 and $150,000 for 1997-98 after settlement pay­ments have been completed.

Wolf said during an interview June 19 that the decision was "strictly a matter of numbers" and not based on the abilities or performance of three officials who were fired.

While cost cuts have been made within the Auraria organi-

zation, Wolf said raising student fees to generate more revenue won't occur in 1996-97, , but hikes in parking could rise as high as $1 for next year if the Auraria Board approves construction of a new parking lot. He also said if student enrollment doesn't increase, there is a possi­bility that student bond­fund prices could rise next year if other cost­cutting and revenue-gen­erating measures fail to work.

"Increasing student fees is our last resort," Wolf said.

Wolf, whose official title is Auraria executive vice-president for admin­istration, said he doesn't expect to make any fur­ther cuts in staff .

BUDGET MAN: Executive Vice President for Administration Dean Wolf said the cuts are part of an attempt to manage Auraria funds without raising student fees.

"We are getting down to the point where we are pretty lean," Wolf said.

Wolf trimmed Auraria's structure from six divisions to four, eliminating the division of student services and parking and transportation. Wolf also eliminated the positions of campus architect and vice-president for operations - Wolf's former position, which has remained vacant since he was promoted last August.

Former parking director Andy Chitwood had been renegoti-

student election last year. · Haimerl said she questions the validity of the results because most of

the 1,767 students surveyed attend University of Colorado-Denver or Metro, while only 19 percent are Community College of Denver students. Haimerl said that in last year's election, CCD had the most votes in favor of the bus pass program, with Metro corning in second. UCD students cast consider­ably fewer votes in support of the program -yet 41 percent of the respon­dents in the SACAB survey are UCO students.

During the June 7 SGA meeting, Haimerl said the results also are under scrutiny because SACAB members are unsure about the wording in the sur­vey. Since the survey asked, "Are you willing to pay a $15.41 student fee each semester for the RTD bus pass?" it is unclear whether students oppose the pass itself or the amount of the fee, Haimerl said.

Regardless of the validity of the survey results, SACAB appears to be most interested in upholding the student vote, which would give a green light to the program for the next two semesters.

SGA president Stephanie Stevenson, however, told the Metropolitan last week that she began attending SACAB meetings to see if its members were doing an adequate job of representing students on the bus pass and other issues.

"I was very disturbed as to what I saw," Stevenson said. " I thought members of SACAB weren ' t acting in the best interest of the students."

The Metro SGA recommended that Haimerl ask Auraria parking direc­tor Andy Chitwood, who is responsible for negotiating the RTD contract, to try to further reduce the cost of the program.

SGA vice president Troy Griess, who said he is opposed to the program, wanted the SGA to approve a measure asking Chitwood to demand a lower fee or scrap the program altogether.

"Maybe we should go in and demand $10.50 and play hardball," Griess said. "If RTD does not go to $10.50, we allow Andy to walk away from the table." Other Metro SGA members said they did not approve Griess' idea; instead, they asked Chitwood to work the fee down from the proposed $12.13, but to remain flexible and keep the program.

Stevenson said the SGA upholds the original student vote but thinks the survey results indicate that many voters were not well-informed on the bus­pass issue.

"I am not putting down the program," she said. "But I have a sneaking feeling this body would have never voted on this."

Chitwood said he has no intention of nullifying the student vote in favor of the survey findings but will take the results to heart during the negotia­tions by trying to get the cost of the program down to appease those who oppose it.

"If 49 percent of any group of people don't like something you better stand up and take notice," he said.

The possibility of the program ending is minuscule, Chitwood said, adding that it would happen only at the request of RTD. Since RTD has come forward to offer a new contract - and a lower fee - Chitwood said he has the impression that the program is here to stay, at least for another year.

"My sense of it is, if they (RTD) were unhappy they would be looking for a way to bail," he said.

Chitwood said the reduced fee is possible because RTD did not have to purchase new buses and make other expenditures in order to accommodate increased ridership stemming from the program.

He said the contract could be agreed on as soon as next week.

College web-page porn a no-no Student told to take photos down after complaint filed Brigett L. Camarena The METROPOLITAN

Inappropriate use of Metro's computer server via the internet has been a minor problem with students so far.

All students have the privilege of an e-mail account. To gain access, they must sign the agreement of Appropriate Use of Computing and Network Facilities. This policy states the appropriate uses of the Internet and the individual's right to privacy. It also men-tions the computer resources available for students, faculty and staff.

The policy says that internet resources are provided to students as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplish­ing their respective jobs. The policy also states the results of misuse: ''Those who misuse the Internet in any way will have their computing privileges suspended, and their cases will be referred to an appropriate authority on campus and a law enforcement agency."

Those who put pornographic materi-al on the Internet will have their_yrivi­Ieges suspended and be reported to Metro's attorney. The information tech­nology department also noted that if a stu­dent posts anything that another person finds offensive, the student could be asked to remove the material.

Parking fees could rise From page3

ating with RTD to get the $15 bus pass fee reduced to $12 and possibly even lower. Wolf said those negotia­tions will continue.

Financial troubles became evident in February when Auraria had to refinance the student bond to stave off student fee increases.

The first few pages of Auraria's 1996-97 budget detail the financial woes within the "auxiliary program budget," which is one of two major budget areas that include parking and student facilities.

The auxiliary budget ca1ls for additional revenues and cites declining student enro1lment as a contributor to a $103,000 below revenue collected in 1993-94.

Campus student population has steadily declined from 76,567 students in 1992-93 to 72,933 for 1995-96.

"If student population continues its current slow growth and parking fees are not changed, the Parking Auxiliary will generate revenues that are $200,000 below projected need in FY (fiscal year) 97-98," according to the budget.

Bustos, who has worked for Auraria for two years, said the news of his firing came as a complete surprise and that Wolf did not offer him another position.

Bustos said he had a great relationship with Wolf and that "there was never any bad blood" between the two.

So far only two complaints have been reported, said Marc Falkenhan, manager of the academic computing lab; one for pornographic pictures on a web page and the other -for e-mail harassment.

"One student complained about two pages of porno­graphic pictures (posted) by a student," Falkenhan said. The other complaint involved two students running for student government office, he said.

The student with the pornographic photos on his web page was asked to take the pic-tures off, and there were no

decision w.as made between AHEC and the company to go back and finish the job with no addition to the con­struction bill, she added.

"We were trying to get an acceptable product with the contractor," McNally said.

The project went back into action following the spring semester. Management tried to minimize campus disruption as much as possible, she said.

However, the work crew used two jackhammers on the last day of demolition to try to finish up quickly, said Hazel Gonzalez, a library employee.

"It was hard to hear people calling, and there was just dust all over," she said. "If you walked up to the counter, you could run your finger across the desk and see it.

"I don't know what the problem was," Gonzalez said. "I just hope they don't have to do it again."

The finishing-sealant application and cleaning will complete the project, McNally said.

Discussions about the project resumed in early May, and the agreement was made to go back and complete the project. It was the first time AHEC has worked with PCL on a project, McNally said. PCL handles several large construction jobs throughout the Denver area, she added.

The construction was funded with AHEC mainte­nance funds, apportioned from the operating budget of each school on Auraria. The operating budget is allocated to each school by the state legislature.

complaints thereafter, Falkenhan said. The students running for office complained about e­

mail harassment that occurred last semester and during student elections. One student said the other student went into his e-mail account and tampered with it, but there was no proof, and the complaint was dropped. Falkenhan said neither student followed through with the complaint.

"There have been complaints of other people, but the (people who filed the) complaints didn't follow

through," Metro attorney Scott Silzer said. The complaints were about using the school's

server for commercial use, posting pornographic pictures and harassing e-mail from an individual. .

Jay Martin, technical service manager at Metro, said that a student's personal e-mail

account cannot be accessed by another person because it would violate the confidentiality

~ and privacy of an individual. However, if J there is an investigation and the police have

l.· . a subpoena, then, by law, Metro is required to tum over any e-mail messages on the account of the person being investigated.

"All e-mail accounts are considered private," Martin said. "There is no way for someone to view that information." "The college does reserve the right to

examine an account if there is an investi­gation and if there was a subpoena on the

contents of the computer account," he said.

In such a case, an informational technology employee assigned by

Martin would extract the information from the school account under investigation, he said.

In question is whether Thornton received due process when he was assessed for a tenured posi­tion.

According ·to Metro records, Thornton was hired in 1990 to be part of Metro's tenure track. In 1994, Thornton filed his tenure papers with the col­lege to receive tenure with the accounting depart­ment.

During February 1995, Metro President Sheila Kaplan officially denied Thornton's application without explanation.

ACTV trying to stay on the dial Campus television station struggling to find audience Travis Henry The METROPOLITAN

Auraria's campus televi­sion station, ACTV, is look­ing for help after budget cuts handed down by the Auraria Higher Education Center eliminated the annual $20,000 funding for the stu­dent-run program.

Starting July 1, the cam­pus-wide station, which pro­vides internships for broad­cast and speech majors, must generate its own revenue.

ACTV's station manag­er, Shawn Montano, said June 13 that he plans to keep the station running by seek­ing grants and advertising money.

"I believe ACTV can sustain itself," said Montano, a senior at Metro.

Jenny SparkSfThe METROPOLITAN

Ian Pennebaker, secre­tary of the Student Advjsory Committee to the Auraria Board, said June 14 that ACTV lost its funding due to budget reductions and ACTV's failure to hire a sta­tion director to help raise

money. Pennebaker said that by taking away

the funding, SACAB is "forcing the issue" by making ACTV pay their own way.

"It is unfortunate with the budget cuts that thal had to happen," Pennebaker said.

Montano, who has been station manger since March, said that he had never heard of any promise to hire a sta­tion director.

'That is news to me," Montano said. "Nobody told me that."

He said all SACAB told him was that there was no funding: 'They said, 'You are shutting down.'"

In May, Montano wenl to Dean Wolf, who at the time was vice presidenl for operations for Auraria, and convinced him to let ACTV try to stand on its own.

Montano eliminated his own $7-per­hour pay and now runs ACTV voluntarily.

Auraria still pays the station's general maintenance fees and owns the ACTV's

Tivoli location. Montano said he knows the station is

facing an uphill battle. "Nobody even knows ACTV is here,"

he said. A spring SACAB/Student Government

survey showed that only I percent of stu­dents polled watch ACTV often, 47 per­cent never watch ACTV and 35 percent did not know what ACTV was.

Metro senior and ACTV intern Michael McGinty said he believes ACTV's "hands on" learning experience should be available to students on campus.

Interns at ACTV do all the filming, editing and graphics.

Current programming at ACTV includes a music video show, a campus soap opera, a movie review show and a Spanish music show.

ACTV can be seen on monitors in the student lounges starting at IO a.m.

The dream of supplying cooking classes for Metro students has been about five years in the planning, said Ray Langbehn, founder of the program, which will debut in the fall.

"Cooking classes will allow Metro to develop a culinary arts program," said Langbehn, who also heads the Hospitality, Meeting and Travel Administration Department.

Two cooking classes will be offered, Kitchen Procedures I and II, which will teach the basics of nutrition, cooking tech­niques, menu planning and segments in specified areas such as breakfast and salad making. .

A certified chef will be teaching the 3-credit-hour classes.

Metro will have committed nearly $100,000 toward the two classes and all of

Ohinnyian, meaning "always," accurately describes how longtime friends of a talented young woman will carry her memory.

The life of 18-year-old Ohinnyian "Obi" Wicahpi Peters, a chemistry major at the University of Colorado at Denver and a member of the Lakota Indian tribe, ended in an automobile accident one year ago this July on a trip to visit relatives at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

was chosen to be in a calendar featuring Native American women of the plains.

A memorial pow-wow for Obi, sponsored by the UCD American Indian Student Services, will be held July 6-7 at the St. Cajetan 's Center on the Auraria Campus. In the Lakota tradition, the event is being held a year after her death, marking the end of the official mourning period, according to Theresa Gutierrez, American Indian student services director.

Mona Dilladaugh, an older member of the organi­zation, became very close to Obi and refers to her as her niece.

"I remember her humor the most," she said. "She was always joking around and wanted to make every­one feel good."

Dilladaugh said Obi was studying chemistry and planned to become a doctor.

"She was very smart," Dilladaugh said. Obi graduated from West High School in 1994 and

From page7 the expensive equipment, Langbehn said, adding that the total does not include new and used equipment donated by hotels and country clubs.

As the program progresses, Langbehn said, food produced by the students will be sold and catered out in order to make money for the department.

"Our idea would be to keep lab costs down for the students," Langbehn said, referring to the courses' $10 supply fee.

The two sections of Kitchen Procedures I are still open for fall, but don't expect to make a waiting list.

''There witl be no more than 16 in the kitchen at one time," Langbehn said, adding that the classrooms will only be able to hold 16 due to the lack of kitchen equipment.

The cooking classes originally were intended to be available only to Hospitality Management majors, but Langbehn said he decided to make them available for everyone.

"I've really felt that there's a demand out in the community that people want a culinary arts program," Langbehn said.

Songs of celebration called out Sunday in Five Points for Denver's 30th annual Juneteenth festival.

Through gospel, festival-goers answered the African American slaves whose voices once rang out across rolling plantations, calling out for freedom.

"In the old days, before they were freed from slavery, all they could do was sing spirituals because they were owned by their slave masters and that was the only release they had, said "Big Al" Richardson, a founder of the Juneteenth celebration in Denver.

Gospel Fest was added to the festival this year, giving a religious element to the event that included live music, African American art work, clothing and many different choices of food. The booths lined W~lton Street from 25th to 28th street.

Crowds were estimated at 60,000 for the event, which was held June 13 through Sunday.

"We're here to celebrate the Juneteenth celebration," Rev. Willie Tyler said at the Gospel Fest. "... where the slaves down in Texas received communi­cation that they were free.

"I don't know about you, but I always knew I was free," he continued. "Back there on Calvary's crops, I found out I was free."

'This is the only African American celebration in the country that celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation," said

Lisa Peterson, executive director of the Five Points Business Association.

Juneteenth is a Texas holiday, cele­brated since June 19, 1865 when the announcement of freedom from slavery was delivered to Galveston, Texas, the first slaves to hear about it, Peterson said.

The event was founded in Denver in 1966 by natives of Texas, including Richardson. Their main motivation was to recapture what was left at home, Richardson said.

Black unity was the most important thing that Clinton Todson, 26, enjoyed about Juneteenth. Todson is a 1992 Metro graduate and wore a hat embroidered with his fraternity letters. He belongs to Alpha Phi Alpha, the first predominately African American fraternity in the country.

The ethnic emphasis was what Cindy Eley, 45, of Denver said she would remember most about the festival.

"It reminds me of Atlanta," said Cassandra Torrez, 19, of Aurora. " .. because of all the people coming togeth­er."

Basil Williams, 36, of Aurora, said it's one of the only events besides the Black Arts Festival where African American heritage is celebrated in many ways.

"You get to see many exhibits and there are so many African American things to buy at one place and one time here in Denver," he said.

SPORTS. Rocks roll for the top. of the National League

-COMMENTARY-

A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

It's a wild season in professional baseball, and the Rockies just want a piece of it. With the even records around the National League, hey, they've got as good of a chance as anyone.

The major challengers for the top spot undoubtedly are the ever-resilient Atlanta Braves, who lead the league with the only noticeably winning record of 43-26. With a heavy-hitting line up which is quarter full of .300 batters, the Tribe shows no signs of slowing down.

So what if the Rocks linger around the No. 3 spot in the N.L. West? They've already started to pick up the pitching pace with the likes of the revamped Bryan Rekar. If the Rockies can ride that momentum and recover successfully from the loss of the injured Larry Wal~er in center field, the Rockies could still get it together in time to give Colorado a nice surprise come playoff season.

The No. I Los Angeles Dodgers and the No. 2 San Diego Padres are not out of reach, having only three and two wins more than the Rocks, respectively. If the Rockies pull another winning streak simi­lar to that before the Montreal Expos took over, they could very well capture the West. Then, Colorado would only have to battle the Montreal machine a bit more strongly than they did earlier this week to advance to a showdown aga"inst the pow­erful Braves in the East.

The N.L. Central should not pose a problem, as the Houston Astros are the only real contenders there, and the Rocks could easily take the brilliance out of their stars if they continue to come together and play hard-line baseball.

Conceivably; competition for the N.L. crown could definitely include a Colorado/Atlanta matchup.

Still, realistically, the ultimate prize of the World Series pennant will most likely be claimed by the American League. The A.L. teams are having win­ning seasons, evident in the Texas Rangers, the Cleveland Indians, the Chicago White Sox and ... the New York Yankees???

While the Braves hold the significant record for the N.L., the Indians boast the leading record in the majors at 44-24, just up on the Atlanta tribe.

Chicago isn't far behind in the Centrals with a 41-27 standing - though they are caught in a nasty little losing streak - and Texas dominates the West with 42 wins, 27 losses. The Yanks are No. 3 in the A.L., but they're still up on Colorado, so the Rocks' chances of taking it all the way and earning Colorado its second major championship this year are slim to slimmer. But this game has been won with heart before, and the ~ockies

Metro athlete goes semi-pro Jake Johnson coaches semi-pro football after a successful season in which he collected most valuable player honors Anna Maria Basquez The METROPOLITAN

Jake R Johnson was in a routine football drill in a Westminster schoolyard with a friend when he was noticed by a semi-pro player whose advice led him to take on a bigger playing field.

That was September of 1994. After only one season in semi-pro

football, Johnson's record boasts 75 yards in a single play for a touchdown and 170 yards total for the same game. He made nine catches for 172 yards and two touch­downs in that first, only, and probably not last season on a team.

Both standings earned him the No. 1 spot in catching and receiving yardage as slot receiver/tight end for the Metropolitan Wolverines.

"I've been playing all of my life just with friends and stuff, and I never really took advantage of any opportunity to actually play organized," John­son said. "I never had and never could com­pare myself to know where I stand talent­wise, and I got that chance."

back win of 27-23 in the second half. The most gratification of the season

came from going so far on raw talent alone, Johnson said.

He was chosen most valuable player for the league and for the team.

"It changed my life,"he said. "It gave me a Jot more self-confidence, and instead of having to look back and say

human being, but if I'm on the field I'm thinking about what I'm doing and my play."

The game he learned the most from was the one he played against the West Slope Avalanche.

"On the field the temperature was 111 degrees," he said. "I dropped a pass, in the fourth down, for a touchdown. The

game taught me to keep perse­verance, to keep going in the heat and to come back from mis­takes."

His season consisted of 40 catches for a total of 520 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 13 yards per catch during the sea­son.

Johnson is a faithful Broncos fan but says a main influence was Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions.

"His style is, he can stop on a dime and be full-speed within three steps. It's just unfathomable to me."

Outside of sports, Johnson also sings and does improvisation acting. He and a friend just fin­ished a Wayne & Garth comedy act for Lakes Dance Academy between dances at a recital.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Making of Romeo & Juliet" (improv), "Picnic", "The Vampire" and "Carnival" are among the plays he mentioned he was featured in throughout high school.

"Usually, you're either an athlete or an actor," he said. "Nah, only me and Shaq. Have you seen the previews of Shaq's new movie? It looks kinda good, actu­ally."

The Ranum High School graduate com­pleted his first year at Metro and is taking a break from the semi­pros but helping to coach the team until he tries out again next April. He is studying computer science and wants to become a pro­fessional computer

After high school, he did a musical revue show at Casa Bonita restaurant and acted in "Wizard of Oz" and "Alice in Wonderland" at Denver Civic Theater.

Jenny SparksfThe METROPOLITAN

ON THE BALL: Metro student athlete Jake Johnson earned top rankings in catching and receiving yardage as a slot receiver/tight end for th e Metropolitan Wolverines. Johnson, who was voted

team and league MVP, can't wait to return to the team as a player. programmer. Finances and time prevent­

ed him from playing this year. As a football player, he hopes to go

as far as the pros, he said. "Fantasy-wise, I'd love to play for

the NFL," he said. "In reality, I'd like to make the world league or even play Canadian."

His season consisted of playing teams from throughout the metro area, Colorado Springs and Grand Junction in the 1995 season. The semi-pros demand­ed at least 15 hours a week, he said.

He played in the Colorado Football Conference All-Star game on the Foothills League. Foothills went to victo­ry against the Rocky Mountain League, down in the first half 20-13 with a come-

'what if,' I know." "I've always watched and compre­

hended (the sport)," he said. "Actually, I've been watching since I was two and comprehending since I was three."

A player almost can't be a human being on the field, Johnson said.

"While you're on the field you have to think as if the opponent is more like a tackling dummy," he said. "You have a goal and you want to reach that goal and you don't want anything to stop you."

"I guess the best way I can describe it is focus," he said. "I'm not like all these people that get this mean look on their face - they call it their game face, and they act like you can't even talk to them. If I'm on the sidelines, I act like a

"I go to the games and watch defense for the coaches now," he said. "I miss everything about the game. If I see a receiver drop a pass or whatever, it makes me want to be out there."

He is still actively involved in sports, with a goal of trying every sport before the summer is out.

"I'm just now learning how to pitch," he said.

Johnson will spend his summer as an intern at 1340 AM radio, hoping to get a job throughout college. He intends to still play football while finishing his degree.

He has also competed in soccer, bowling and was in power-lifting through­out high school.
