Metro insurance skyrockets Money for desks used for litigation problem Metro dropped

from lawsuit Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Without much ado, Metro paid its lia­bility insurance premium of $346,579.

Gone are the plans to purchase desks and lab equipment the money was ear­marked for. The money was taken out of capital expenditures according to budget figures released in August. Capital expen­ditures is an account in the budget that covers equipment for the school costing over $200.

The premium reflects an increase of 1,281 percent from last year to cover the increased costs of litigation against the school.

'This whole dollar amount, almost all of it is based on that one lawsuit, that's what we were told anyway," said Joe Arcese, Metro vice president of adminis­tration and finance.

Arcese is referring to a lawsuit filed against the college by the Faculty Protective Association for 83 Metro facul­ty members who are asking for back pay and salary parity (see sidebar).

"So when that lawsuit goes away, then it should go down to $25.000." Arcese

Arcese

said. However,

if the faculty wins the law­suit, insurance premiums could go high­er.

s c 0 t Silzer, Metro's in-house attor­ney, said that the college is doing many

things to discourage further civil litigation. ''Much of the preventative things that

are being done are just informational, get­ting people the right information so that they know where to go, what to do when certain things come up," Silzer said.

For instance, when a person with dis­abilities approaches a Metro employee and asks for accommodation, the employee knows what to do, Silzer said.

Norman Pence, member of the execu­tive committee for the Faculty Association, said they knew nothing about the insurance increase.

"I don't feel good, that's $247,000

that could have been used for something better." Pence said. "It could have been used to help solve the equity parity thing."

Students and faculty feel that the administration needs to do more to resolve insurance problems and faculty needs.

'The administration has to accept some responsibility for this whole thing," Pence said. "They still haven't done what's right."

Metro student, Amanda Norton feels the same way.

"Obviously, it's been going on awhile and nothing has been done about it," Norton said. "Maybe this is a sign the adminjstration isn't listening to the staff and its needs."

Metro President Sheila Kaplan addressed the equity parity issue in her convocation speech Aug. 23 and said she was "determined to find the dollars to fund salary adjustments through internal re­allocation."

'The equity ·parity issue has been around for awhile and, in fact, I think the colleges' attempts to address that issue began prior to the lawsuit and are continu­ing independent of the lawsuit," Silzer said. ,_

Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Metro was dismissed as a defen­dant in an equity parity and breach­of-contract lawsuit brought against the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of Colorado.

The Faculty Protective Association, representing 83 Metro faculty members, filed a claim against the Trustees Nov. 22, 1994 stating an alleged breach of contract by failing to comply with the guidelines for determining salary in the MSCD Handbook For Professional Personnel.

In the ruling to dismiss Metro as a defendant, District Court Judge John McMullen also partially dis­missed the faculty's ninth claim of relief that sought damages on an alleged "breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair deal­ing."

New York Deli may sue over catering policy Frank Kimitch The METROPOLITAN

The New York Deli and other restau­rants in the student union are being locked out of catering to groups of more than 25 people in the Tivoli.

According to the new catering policy, which was established by the Student Food Advisory Committee and took effect July I, only three caterers will be given the privilege to cater in the student union.

Warren Tepper, owner of the New York Deli, is upset because he is losing money with the implementation of the new catering policy.

"To tell these accounts that they can no longer use us is unethical. unfair, prob­ably illegal and just plain stupid," Tepper told the Auraria Board at its meeting Aug. 21.

Tepper said the policy cost him 40 accounts, including a $2,000 contract to do breakfast for two days for the Auraria Foundation, a group that funds campus projects.

Tepper said some of the groups from the accounts are trying to avoid the new policy. He said they've asked him to alter order dates to look like they were placed to before July l and claim that the order was only for 25 people, but to bill for the actu­al amount spent on the catering. Tepper said he complies with the requests because he n~ds the business.

The catering proposal for the Tivoli is under the auspices of the Food Services

Advisory Committee, a sub­committee of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. Amy Haimerl, who chairs the Food Advisory Committee, says that the stu­dent's needs weren't being served by the one-year trial arrangements with the caterers available in the Tivoli before the new proposal.

John Swift/The METROPOLITAN

According to Haimerl. the proposal only allows groups of more than 25 to select from three caterers: Biscuits and Berries, Gourmet Alternatives and Pour la France. These three caterers will return a per­centage of their sales to be applied to the student services bond which funds the general upkeep and maintenance of places such as the Tivoli and the Auraria Child Care Center. If a group wants to use an out­side caterer that group must pay a premium rate which is double the rate for using one of the caterers in the proposal.

ANGRY MERCHANT: Warren Tepper, owner of the New York Deli, said Auraria's cater­ing policy is costing him business and he may sue if changes aren't made.

Tepper is threatening to take court action against the Ti-voli Management in either a group suit with other merchants or by himself.

"If you do not come to a decision, we have no other choice but to take it to court, and that's the bottom ·tine," Tepper said.

There are a total of I 03 events sched-

uled in the Tivoli between Aug. 25 and Sept. 9. Of these l 03 bookings, 66 have an attendance of less than 25. This means that Tivoli restaurants are allowed to cater at 64 percent of the events scheduled.

According to Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union, 38 percent of the rooms in the Tivoli don't even accommo-

date more than 25 people. ''If a student group wants to use

Primo's (Pizza), the contract caterer can sub-contract to Primo ·s." Weiske explained.

The New York Deli's complaints will go before the Auxiliary Services Committee meeting Sept. 7.

TWO-FERS AFTER THE QUIZ: Students from the University of Colorado­Denver attend a marketing class at SiGi's Cabaret in the Tivoli due to a shortage of classrooms.

Tapping minds in a place that used to tap beer kegs Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

Students walk down two flights of dark Tivoli stairs to face damp stone walls, the sounds of video games beeping and a seemingly misplaced chalkboard.

While the majority of students sit under the glaring fluorescent lights of classrooms, these students enjoy neon Coors Beer signs and empty beer taps. Where do these classes meet?

An old bar called SiGi's Cabaret Room in the Tivoli.

The bar, which was rented out when Auraria ran out of space, is posing as a classroom for the rest of the semes-ter.

"It's kind of frustrating because you pay money to go to class, not a bar," Anita Traum, a Metro English major, said. .

Another mix-up happened to two of University of Colorado-Denver market­ing classes.

UCD Senior Nicole Hoffmann said her class finally landed in the old bar as well. The class had only been switched twice, but Hoffmann said she likes it bet­ter than having a regular classroom.

"I don't want to move classrooms again. I like the tables and there's a cool atmosphere here," Hoffmann said.

At the end of July, the decision was made

to rent four tempo-rary buildings for Metro students,

like it's a waste of money."

The Tuesday and Thursday class of 70 students had been placed in North Classroom 1608. It was split and half of the students were moved to the Cabaret.

Stephen Leonard, chairman of the History Department, who tried to make an effort to split large classes jokingly said, "there has definitely been question raised about the environment of this class."

The instructor of this Western Civilization class, Steve O'Bryan, said he feels it is basically an over-scheduling problem.

'Tm bothered because we have Jost two weeks of the semester. but it is a real­ly funky place to have class," he said.

and Use for Auraria. He said Auraria will be renting the Cabaret Room from the Tivoli for $3,800 this semester.

Feuerborn also said Metro over­booked classrooms by almost 200 during the first week of school. As of Wednesday, Metro was only overbooked by five classes. Feuerborn said that all of the schools on campus worked together to get control over classroom scheduling.

"There were levels of cooperation I had never seen before," Feuerborn said.

According to Duckworth and · Feuerborn over-scheduling was the rea­son for classes being allotted to SiGi's Cabaret in the basement of the Tivoli.

Political infighting hits , Student Government Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

Political infighting has reached the Metro Student Government Assembly, and it looks as though the Student Advisory Committee ~o the Auraria Board is suffer­ing the casualties.

At the Aug. 31 student government meeting, Juan Sanchez, vice president of student organizations, moved to have the two Metro SACAB representatives, Amy Haimerl and Ajayi Harris, relocated to the student government offices. They are cur­rently located in the SACAB offices, which is down the hall from the student government office, on the third floor of the Tivoli.

"I hate having a student come in (to the assembly chambers) and ask a SACAB-related question which I can't answer," Sanchez said. "Without (SACAB) in the office, I have to send the student down the ha11." he said. "Our focus from day one has been to stop giving stu­dents the run-around."

The motion was then amended to have SACAB moved to the student gov­ernment office on a two-month basis. The motion was passed, despite the protests of Haimerl.

"Pulling us out of those , removes our access .to all of SACAB's I archives and separates us from the other ' SACAB officers," Haimerl said. "We were elected to take Metro issues to the Auraria · Board. We need that contact with the other SACAB officers to be able to do that. I will not do the students of this school such a disservice as that which would result if we moved."

However, Safa Suleiman, student government president, sees the disservice being committed when the student govern­ment is out of contact with SACAB repre­sentatives.

"When the only contact we ~ave with SACAB is student government meetings, we are restricted in our ability to serve the students," Suleiman said. 'The motion was made and passed, and I will stand by the motion."

Haimerl said while she will be happy to have voluntary office hours in the stu­dent government office, she refuses to do it under mandate.

Suleiman said although the situation is unfortunate, she will see it to the end.

"I'm not going to let anything sacri­fice the integrity of this office," Suleiman said.

Tri-Institutional Legal Services is a student-fee funded program that serves registered students from Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and Community CoUege of Denver. The program is staffed by a licensed attorney, one Pcwalegal and Pcwalegal interns who assist students with landlord-tenant problems, criminal prosecutions, traffic/DUI cases, and family/domestic issues. Specifically, the attorney engages in a problem-solving process with the student to identify legal issues, provide legal advice and explore various strategies and options. If a case requires legal representation and/or is beyond the expertise of the program's attorney, the pro-gram has a referral list of attorneys who have agreed to offer a reduced tee to registered students from the Auraria Campus. Because the program's budget only allows for 20 hours per wed< of the attorney's time, it is necessary to contact our staff to ensure an office visit or phone interview.

Please Note: This office is unable to advise on issues arising between students or involving any of the three institutions as this creates a connict of interest. Also, the attorney can neither represent the student nor make a court appearance

on behalf of the student.

Day before an election year has tra­ditionally been the unofficial kick-off date for the presidential campaign. But this year the campaigning began around July 4.

Perhaps it is the hunger of the numerous Republican candidates to win the office. Perhaps they feel they have a very beatable opponent. Let's face it, President Bill isn't exactly scaring away the competition with his performance in the White House, now is he? This is coming from someone who voted for him. (Ouch!!)

I reluctantly admit that I fell prey to the political sweepstakes of the '92 election. The slick ads and catchy slogans littered the nation. There were televised debates and even a major third candidate.

Preview of censorship to come Since when have fringe religious

cults held sway over the rights of an individual?

As a journalist, I have come to regard the First Amendment to the Constitution with the highest esteem. I consider it to be the idealistic crux of the nature of this country, and as such, I am vehemently opposed to those who would place limitations on what I may say or write.

That is why I find the situation with the Church of the Scientologists so aggravating.

If you have not been reading your dailies, let me give you the short version. The Scientologists. con­cerned about the distribution over the Internet of "trade secrets" of their religion by a man named Arnaldo Lerma, obtained a court order altow­ing the appropriation of all of Lerma computer equipment and documents pertaining to their religion. Federal marshals, with the assistance of Scientologist priests. or whatever they call them, burst into Lerma's house and seize his possessions.

My first reaction to this was bewilderment. How the hell does a religion have "trade secrets?" Doesn't the word "trade" alone refer to a business, rather than a religion

(albeit the distinction between the two is somewhat muddied)?

Utter amazement was my next reaction. Amazement at the fact that some fringe religious cult was able to get a judge to sign such a ridiculous court order.

The Church of Scientology is in itself a laughable faith, in my opinion. It was founded by the late-but-oh-so­prophetic L. Ron Hubbard, the same guy who brought us "Dianetics" and "Lemon Fresh Pledge: delicious but deadly." Those calling themselves Scientologists (couldn't they have picked a shorter word?) believe Hubbard is alive and well and living on some other planet waiting for the happy, special Cosmic Day of Atonement when he can return and do god stuff. These people also wear spiffy little soul boxes around their necks for some spiritual reason. Each box has two wires to help con­duct the essence of their souls or to protect them from lightning.

Is it me, or does all this sound like a really bad episode of Amazing Stories?

The Scientologists have also named the Washington Post as a defendant. Apparently, the Post pub­lished excerpts of Scientologist writ-

ings, obtained from open court records, which are privileged. The Scientologists maintain this was still copyright infringement.

Now, this case will be precedent­setting where it concerns the regula­tion of distribution of information over the Internet. Legally, it seems to me these yahoos have no leg to stand on, as all of the quoted material was not only _attributed by Lerma, but should be protected under the fair comment doctrine, which protects people like columnists or music reviewers.

So, what does this mean? It means that a private organiza­

tion has succeeded in silencing a man whose only crime was daring to publicly disagree with its agenda, which is a hell of a dark foreshadow­ing of things to come.

"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Voltaire.

Bill Gates-our new big brother Wave of future technology turns into a wash for personal privacy

Brett Haselton

Last summer when the Editor­in-Chief asked if I would be inter­ested in writing a column dis­cussing political issues, I really wondered if any­one cared what I had to say. With this column we

will find that out: Some may agree with my perceptions, others may not. That is OK. For the evolution of educated discourse is why we are all here.

When thinking about my first topic, I did not have to look far. Just look at the papers once in awhile. Leviathon is coming, and he is Bill Gates.

For those of you who don't know who Gates is, please crawl out from under the rock. He is the president of Microsoft computer software, the top software producer in the modern world. Last week the company launched 'Windows 95," one-and-a­half years later than originally scheduled.

The ne~ operating system, which replaces DOS and Windows, has been touted as the wave-of-the future in technology. The ease of use and simpleness of its design makes computers attractive to many

more users. Obviously many people have bought into this hype, as the recent numbers show.

In the first four days of release, over 1 million copies of 'Windows 95" sold worldwide. The suggested retail price was $100 for the software (average price in ~ m Denver was $84-$99). This is being touted as something

What does this all mean and why is it relative to the world of poli­tics? The release of Windows 95 opens doors of privacy that should be kept closed. Firstly of all, one of the main advances of "95" is the· new Microsoft Network. For a small monthly connection fee ($5.95 per

95 opens even more doors. The "Money for

95" program, like its predecessor,

allows you to manage your finances, both personal and busi­ness. The advantage of the new upgrade also adds electronic bill paying (using Microsoft) network. This service has been available between you and your financial institution for a long time . Microsoft will now be the middleman. Through the network you send a request to

Microsoft to pay a bill (Microsoft has your account numbers on file), they then match the payer (you) to the payee {public service, ATT, credit card, etc.) and authorize the transfer of funds (if the payee is not on the master file, a computer generated check will be issued). Microsoft will do up to 20 transactions per month per user. This advantage gives Microsoft access to account num­bers that the general public normal­ly keeps private. People are buying into· the technology as advanta­geous, I find it intrusive.

I will admit that I do have the "Windows 95" upgrade and the added software, but I did not wait in line at 12:01 a.m. to get it. The pack­age is impressive, but I for one will not let it be intrusive. People's pri­vate matters are their own. No one should have access to them. By giv­ing an entity that information you are giving them power that can be used negatively in the long run. If we do not stop it now, maybe Hobbes' Leviathan (Bill Gates) will not stop gaining power and advantage.

Will we then not wait in line at 12:01 a.m. to be manipulated to think that this new technology will give us the advantage, when in actuality Bill Gates gets the advan­tages and of course, our money.

· Letters _ I want my New York Times Cartoon misrepresents

TotheEditor, purpose of diversity "'Ne don't need no stinking New Yorlc Times.· Last fall ('94) I began to read the Times at the periodicals

desk in the Auraria library. I would stop by after my 7 a.m. class, and the Times would be there. Toward the very end of the semes­ter, the paper was not available on its publication date. This con­tinued to be true during the spring semester. I was always told, Kit hasn't come in yet"

The Wall Street Joumalwas never available when I asked for that as an option. I always had to wait for it an extra day.

The ability to read being a requirement for college students, withholding this vital paper with its breaking stories does a dis­service to the student body. They really are mature enough to face today's news today.

By way of comparison, the Denver Public Library always has these two papers by 10 a.m. on its publication date. I'm sure they wouldn't mind sharing the secret of their promptness with the Auraria Library.

The local TV stations have done stories on Metro State's quest for 300 students who did not return this fall. Improving the periodical desk at the library would be a good place to start

George Stampffi Metro Student

To the Editor,

I was sorry to see the cartoon which ran on page 11 of the Aug. 25 issue of The Metropolitan.

It depicts a ~hite male studenr who wants to change classes after being beaten up in a "Disabled, Gay and Lesbian, Black Woman's Studies• class. While I realize that the cartoonist was poking fun at the "position" of white men these days, I am disappointed that The Met chose to run it.

The cartoon says to an uninformed reader that class­es involving any of the above mentioned groups are not for white· men. To the contrary, the diversity issues which these types of classes tackle are important to everyone! The subject matter involved usually promotes discussions of breadth and substance, the very things a free-thinking world depends on.

Without the input of everyone, white men included, the discussion would be incomplete.

Storybook jewels Joelle Conway The METROPOLITAN

J ewelry is worn by millions every day. Some pieces have long histories and deep sentimental value. Others are simply worn as fashion accessories, but most jewelry does one thing - tells a story.

"Brilliant Stories: American Narrative Jewelry," the exhibit showing at the Metro Center for the Visual Arts, features 82 pieces and includes the meticulous creations of 25 jewelry makers from around the country.

These creations are meant to be worn, but more importantly they tell a story by illustrating scenes and using symbols. The individual pieces display very diverse backgrounds and themes, yet the collection as a whole is very personal and intimate.

Storytelling in jewelry is nearly as old as humankind. In the ancient Middle Eastern countries, jewelry was believed to have amuletic power, while carved cameo por­traits were very popular in ancient Rome, and were per­haps the first commemorative narrative jewelry. The face shown on the cameo signified the heroic feats or political importance of a person. Today, as in ancient times, gold and precious gemstone jewelry is an expression of the sta­tus and wealth of the wearer.

The pieces at the exhibit are more than jewelry, they are artistic creations.

Stephen J. Albair's "Elusive Illusion," creates a majestic scene, in which an intricate gilded brass tree and a brass swan, which is a removable brooch, is set on bluish mirrored acrylic plastic. One side of the brass swan is embossed with a small black and white photograph of human arms, shaped into a swan-like figure. The gilded brass that waves out behind the swan, looks as if the swan

is making real waves as it floats across the lake. Albair creates a dream-like scene, that suggests a human search for meaning to life's illusions.

More in sync with today's time frame is the work of Harold O'Connor. He makes jokes about time in his five pieces at the show. His bracelet, "Timeless Watch: Conference Time," is a wristwatch in which little men are placed around a conference table instead of using numer­als and hands on a watch face. Another of his pieces, "Timeless Watch: Neighborhood Watch" is a bracelet in which O'Connor portrays houses in a neighborhood with little human figures looking out for crime in their neigh­borhood.

Laurie Hall makes very compelling social statements in her work. "The Protesters," a necklace made of fabri­cated sterling silver and copper with printed plastic lami­nate, represents the treasure of American personal free­doms. The necklace is comprised of faces with arms holding protest signs, mainly about the Vietnam War. The miniature signs say, "Stop Arms," "Make Love Not War," and "Ban the Bomb". Hall created this piece to depict Americans' right to have dissenting opinions.

Perhaps the most bizarre and eye-catching work at the show is that of Robin Kranitzky and Kim Overstreet. In their biography they describe their collaborative sculp­ture as "an extension of two distinct personalities provid­ing a mixture of ideas that we find fascinating." Their work is freakish, almost haunting and could be stared at for hours due to the immense amount of detail involved. "The Story Told" is a brooch created with brass, silver, copper, acrylic, polymer clay and various random objects. The mummy-like figure has an opening in its torso, like an open window into the soul, which shows a sad porce­lain-like face with a delicate tear running down the cheek.

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

SPEAKING OUT: Artist Laurie J. Hall's necklace, "The Protesters," depicts Americans' right to have dissenting opinions. In the '60s Hall became very interested in the strong emotions that were expressed about the Vietnam War.

The work of Kranitzky and Overstreet is shocking and extremely powerful.

The entire show is a magnificent collection of wildly creative jewelry. There are brief biographies of the artists and notes of each piece of jewelry, which helps the audi­ence gain a deeper meaning of the artists' work.

"Brilliant Stories: American Narrative Jewelry" is at The Metro Center for the Visual Arts, 1701 Wazee St., through Sept. 25. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Thursday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. For more information call 294-5207.

r~ Campus AIDS Walk team third largest ii Joelle Conway The METROPOLITAN

T o date, 18 million adults and 1.5 mil­lion children have been infected with HIV. The World Health Organization

predicts that this total of 19.5 million will swell to between 30 and 40 million people by the year 2000. As these frightening numbers continue to skyrocket, one way AIDS can at least be slowed is through education.

The Eighth Annual AIDS Walk Colorado, on Sunday Sept. l 0 at Denver's Cheesman Park, is a I 0 kilometer fundrais­ing walkathon to raise money for AIDS edu­cation, services and to raise awareness.

AIDS Walk Colorado benefits the Colorado AIDS Project, and other outstanding AIDS ser­vice and education providers in Colorado. Through educa­tion and advocacy, these organizations work to improve the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as preventing the spread of HIV. The money raised from the walk will go Lo approximately 40 beneficiary agencies in Colorado.

The Colorado AIDS Project is the oldest and largest non-profit community-based HIV/AIDS service agency in Colorado and has served more than 2,400 people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and offered support services to family members and loved ones a<; well.

:chameleons play out life's evolution Louis Landa The METROPOLITAN

T his is your chance to see a play with giant, green, talking sea lizards. You have always wanted to

see a play like that, haven 't you? Seascape, now on-stage at the

Director's Theatre in Boulder, has the sea lizards, but it succeeds for many other rea­sons.

Seascape is a story about the inevitable evolution we all go through in our lives. It explores the changes that we go through, from adventurous immortal teenagers to just wanting to lie on a beach and do nothing. This play focuses on an older generation, but the message is uni­versal.

instinct. He desperately stumbles for the right words to explain this essential human emotion. Sarah and Leslie don't under­stand and only become more confused by the explanation.

Seascape offers an interesting look at the difficulty in communicating some of the basic aspects in our lives; feelings, desires, hopes, and fears. It highlights the importance of keeping the lines of com­munication open with the people in our lives, especially the ones we love.

The cast offer their performances like jewels. They are solid, colorful and a plea­sure to watch. Rebecca White and Scott Thompson are comfortable as the talking lizards.

Alan Dumas, a Rocky Mountain News staff writer and part-time Metro journalism professor, plays the role of Charlie. At the beginning of the play Charlie is reading a book, "The Intimate History of Humanity," and repeatedly tells his wife that he doesn't want to do anything. Charlie's wife Nancy (Carol Elliott) tries in vain to rekindle excitement in her taci­turn spouse. But Charlie is content to lie on the beach and read.

SEA OF LOVE: Charlie (Alan Dumas) and Nancy (Carol Elliott) examine the evolution of relationships and love in the play, Seascape.

Alan Dumas offers up a fme perfor­mance as Charlie. He changes from a lethargic beachcomber to a champion of the human race. Dumas slides between these extremes with ease and effective­ness.

Carol Elliott is the keystone of the cast. Her Nancy is bright, lively and sparkles with energy. Elliot's confidence is contagious and the actors seem to gravitate to her for support.

>- Nancy and Charlie have evolved into a couple with somewhat opposite interests. She wants to travel. He wants to find a place and settle there. She wants him to reaffirm his youth. He just wants to remember it.

Playwright Edward Albee crafts a touching story of the challenges we face as we grow and change in our relationships. Albee is best know for plays that explore the dark and cruel side of human nature. But this play has imaginative dialogue and circumstances that quickly draws the audi­ence into the story.

The lizards make their appearance toward the end of Act I. The initial encounter is hilarious and the first act ends with Nancy and Charlie on their backs in a

Technically, the show is passable and unintrusive. The set looks like a throw­away from the original "Star Trek" series. Thanks to the interesting story and good acting, this distraction is quickly subdued.

Seascape balances enough humor and thought-provoking questions to make it well worth your time.

SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 The METROPOLITAN 13

Difficulties and culture-shocks brought home to new perspective Yoko Naito · The METROPOLITAN

M ost people know that we face a lot of culture shocks and diffi­culties when we live in foreign countries, even for a short time.

But most of us don't know that we face another problem when we come back to our country: readjusting to our own cul­ture.

That's what James Poynter teaches in one of his classes at Metro and what he wrote about in his sixth book, "Multi-cul­tural, Multi-national Adjusting and Readjusting". which was published three weeks ago.

Poynter, associate professor of hospi­tality, meeting and travel administration, said many people who come back to their own countries become depressed and experience a cycle of difficulties. Some people lock themselves at home and don't talk to their family or friends because those people expect them to be exactly the same as before they left their countries, he said.

'Those people need to be told they are not alone and be as open-minded as possi­ble to accept the difficulties." Poynter said.

In his multi-cultural course, students simulate three different cultures. Each simulation is designed to make them expe­rience a different culture through practices

or rules like a game. Then those who stud­ied the simulated culture talk to other stu­dents with their same home culture, to point out their differences.

"That way when students leave the class, they have opportunities to really understand, not a real culture, but a simu­lated culture," Poynter said. They under­stand strangers coming out of perceived culture and how they can deal with that, he said.

He teaches most of the travel adminis­tration classes at Metro based on his busi­ness experiences. Poynter traveled to over 30 countries and worked in more than 15 countries before he started teaching at Metro in 1982.

"Mr. Poynter is very active in the edu­cation of travel administration, and he has developed his reputation," said Ray Langbehn, chairman of department of hos­pitality, meeting and travel administration at Metro. "His international background makes him well-qualified to teach the class, Langbehn said.

Poynter said he likes teaching at Metro because he can directly see his stu­dents getting jobs as they take classes. His students are all over the world working in travel, including international students who went back to their home countries. Many of those students write to him to tell how his classes helped in the different cul­tures they are living in.

CoPIRG targets issues, sparks action Group addresses suburban sprawl, homelessness Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

Y ou may have seen them in your classroom, or out by the flagpole with clipboards in-hand. They are the Colorado Public Interest

Research Group (CoPIRG) people, working hard to revive our collective social consciousness.

Even though many Metro students aren't aware of the $4 CoPIRG fee that appears on their bill, some choose to waiyeJhe fee when they register.

So what is CoPIRG? According to the group's brochure,

"CoPIRG is a group of students and staff working togetlier for consumers, for the environment and for the future." This year, the Metro chapter of CopIRG is translating this prosaic ideal into action through campaigns to stop suburban sprawl, fight hunger and homelessness, ''free the planet" through environmental activism and help students learn their rights as consumers.

Anne HalVThe METROPOLITAN

CLASS RAP: CoPIRG member Ajayi Harris tells a class about the Colorado Public Interest Research Group and the various campaigns they have planned for this semester.

On Monday Sept. 11, Metro CoPIRG will hold its General Interest Meeting. All students are welcome to attend and find out more about CoPIRG's campaigns and how to get involved.

"I believe that PIRG is the way we are going to change things," said Kama Suddath, Metro organizer of CoPIRG. "I

got involved because I wanted to activate students to be more effective on issues they care about."

The students involved in CoPIRG at Auraria are part of a nationwide network that includes citizens, volunteers and paid staff. Some are earning internship credit by leading a campaign or working with the media. Many get involved because they see CoPIRG as a way for them to actually have an effect on issues the group targets.

"I first got involved when we were trying to get the Auraria Board to start a recycling program on campus," said member Ajayi Harris. "When it happened, I felt such a sense of accomplishment. We had made a difference."

The CoPIRG Board of Directors, like its sister PIRGs in other states, is made up entirely of students. It sets the agenda, controls the budget and decides what issues the group will work on. Then the organizers, research staff and lobbyists go to work.

Last spring, members helped con­vince the Denver Regional Council of Governments to reject plans to lower air­quality standards, a. change that CoPIRG said· could have led to a 42 percent increase in pollution. They followed up with a massive postcard campaign to Gov.

Roy Romer, urging him to veto any legis­lation that would decrease air quality.

CoPIRG helped institute the drive for a campus-wide bus-pass, and ran a book­swap that allowed students to trade or set their own price for textbooks. It published guides to choosing and using credit cards, and organized the campus Earth Day cele­bration.

Students involved in CoPIRG can choose how often they want to be involved and what issues they want to work on. Some like the hands-on helping of the "Hunger and Homelessness" cam­paign, where volunteers clean up shelters and organize food drives, while others enjoy lobbying the state legislature, urg­ing lawmakers to protect environmental and consumer ~egislation.

The democratic ideal is sacred to the PIRGs. Since 1973, when students started the first chapter, decisions were made by vote and leaders are elected. Every three years, Metro students decide by election to assess themselves the $4 optional fee that is the principle funding source for CoPIRG. Students voted to establish the Metro chapter in 198~.

To get involved, visit the CoPIRG office in the "Club Hub," on the third floor of the Tivoli, or call 556-4537.

~Women fall short in opener Roadrunners drop 2-1 decision to the University of Cal-Davis

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

, Inexperience may have cost C"lhe women's soccer team in its

season opener Sept. 1, a 2-1 loss to the University of Cal-Davis, but the overall performance of Metro's youthful squad showed signs of good things to come .

....- The Roadrunners fell behind 1-0 at the 9:32 mark on what coach Ed Montojo called a "soft goal." The quick goal put Metro instantly on the defensive.

Cal-Davis controlled the ;.tempo offensively for most of

the first half but couldn't score as Metro's young defenders were able to play just good enough to not allow an encore score in the half.

"We only have one return-, ing defenseman and that is Julie Russell," Montojo said. "We started five sophomores and three freshman. That's a lot of key players in new positions."

The half ended with Metro r.•trailing 1-Clbut still seemingly in

the game. The second half started omi­

nously when Cal-Davis scored another quick goal at the 55: 18 mark taking a 2-nil lead.

pass to Katie Pierce who beat the goalkeeper and pulled the Roadrunners to within one.

"That was a great pass from Shannon," Pierce said. "I could­n't have asked for better."

For about the next 20 min­utes Cal-Davis controlled the pace and the attack zone and failed to capitalize on two good scoring chances, one of which hit the right post.

In the last 10 minutes the Roadrunners began attacking furiously and were denied on a couple of chances themselves.

"I thought as the game went on we settled down and played better," Montojo said. "We had our chances and didn' t capital-ize."

Montojo said he was happy with the overall performance of the team and expects them to come together and compete for a Colorado Athletic Conference title. Last season Metro finished third behind NCAA Division II runner-up and CAC Champion Regis, and to CAC runner-up University of Denver.

The Roadrunners open up CAC play on Sunday against the University of Southern Colorado at 1 p.m. at Auraria Athletic Fields. Metro was 2-0 against USC last season, winning 6-0 and 5-0 respectively.

Hawaii no vacation for volleyball team Spikers sent packing after finishing seventh in tourney Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The women's volleyball team went to Hawaii last week expecting to be tested heavily at the BYU-Hawaii Invitational. They were. They failed.

While losses to nationally ranked programs - No. 2 University of Cal­Bakersfield and No. 8 Hawaii-Hilo -could be expected, dropping a five game match to un-ranked Hawaii Pacific was a disappointment.

Metro finished the tournament sev­enth place out of eight teams and went 1-3 with the lone victory coming at the

~ expense of Chaminade University of Honolulu.

Metro started pool play on Sept. l against Cal-Bakersfield and fared as well

as could be expected against the volley­ball powerhouse. The Roadrunners lost 15-13, 15- 12 and 15-8, a respectable showing. In the day's second match Metro forced a fifth game after trailing 2-games­to- 1 against Hawaii Pacific. The Roadrunners won the first game 15- ll before falling 15-9 in both the second and third games. Metro knotted the score at two games each winning the fourth 15- l l and promptly dropped the deciding fifth 15-5 and dropping to 0-2 on day one.

On Sept. 2 Hawaii-Hilo made Roadkill of the Roadrunners, handing them a 15-5, 15-3, 15-9 loss. _

. Metro finished on a positive note beating Chaminade in four games to end the tournament. After building a two game lead - 15-8, 15-13 - the Roadrunners lost focus momentarily, dropping game

three 15-7 before closing out the match with a 15-11 triumph in game four.

Marnie Salhus-Adams led Metro in kills for the tournament posting a team high of 48 while Stacey Hoyt finished just behind with 45.

Metro's hitting effiCiency was anemic as they had a four-game attack percentage of .146 while allowing opponents to hit .220. Just how bad did it get? Against Hawaii Hilo, the Roadrunners hit .022.

Metro's problems likely stem from the fact that they are a team of new faces. Salhus Adams and Hoyt round out a tal­ented group that will likely need time to hit stride .

Metro stands at 1-3 and opens Colorado Athletic Conference play Sept. 13 at Auraria Events Center against Regis. Match time is 7 p.m.

Seles' return welcome Former teen tennis star returns to court breathing life back into the women:S game Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

With the state of women's tennis being what it is - pathetic - Monica Seles couldn't have picked a better time to return to the sport she was dominating two years ago. WELCOME BACK!

Until a crazed Steffi Graf-fanatic stabbed Monica in the back, the Graf­Seles rivalry was really heating up. They met in two straight Grand Slam Finals -The French Open (Seles) and Wimbledon (Graf) - and appeared to be on a collision course to reinvent the women's game. Seles, winner of nine Grand Slams in three years, appeared to be enroute to rewriting the tennis record books.

"It feels really great," she said after winning the title. "For a long time I thought this day may never come." ~

She is automatically the favorite at the U.S. Open which began Aug. 28 in New York. Seles said she doesn't expect to win.

'The first time back, it's unrealistic," she said. "It doesn't matter . .If I play well, that's great."

Seles must have been being modest.' She is into the semifinals and will play Conchita Martinez for the right to take on either Graf or Gabriela Sabatini in Saturday's final. With Graf's back prob­lems and the fact that Seles demolished

attempt. That says a lot about her and about women's ten­nis.

The only ques­tions upon her return to the game were about qer maintain­ing her tenacious mental toughness and her condition-

it worked.

Seles was unable to put the incident behind her in that period and she missed I 0 Grand Slam events. Graf won six of them during that time. While Graf was col­lecting Slams, Seles was seeing therapists and struggling with her own existence. She called that period "dark, depressing and demoralizing." Not being able to face her demons, she stayed secluded. Only recent­ly, at the Canadian Open two weeks ago, did she play her first tour tennis since the incident.

Play she did. Seles mowed through opponents los­

ing just 14 games in the entire event and took her rightful place as champion again, in her first event back.

Sports briefs Come and eat with coaches

The Metro Booster club will be putting on a monthly coaches luncheon in which various Metro coaches will speak to boosters and anyone else who would like to attend.

The first Luncheon will be Sept. 12 at the Stars Sports Garden at 19th and Blake beginning at noon.

The lunch costs between $5 and $8 dollars and is open to anyone who would like to attend.

yet to drop a set in 10 matches - condi­tioning will hardly be a problem.

Regardless of the outcome of her return, it is a blessing to have such a classy person and clutch competitor back on the tour. It is good for tennis in general, not just women's tennis. It is good for the entire sports world as well because it is the classic story of overcoming adversity with one big difference. Monica Seles didn't injure her knee playing or tear up her shoulder serving, she was attacked by a sick man in an environment she should have been safe in. That makes her come­back all the more remarkable.

Welcome back, Monica.

Men start season with b8ck-to-back losses Roaqrunners open with 2-1 loss in Texas then get blasted 4-0 in home opener

Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

Metro's men 's soccer team was dealt a tough 4-0 loss by the University of Denver Wednesday night.

The Roadrunners came out playing a competitive game, but had some tough obstacles to overcome.

Within 20 minutes of the kickoff, Metro lost its start­ing goal keeper, Larry Sersante, when he suffered a bro­ken j aw colliding with a DU player.

"He'll have his jaw wired shut, there's no way around that, but he' ll return this season," Athletic Trainer Cindi Nagai, said.

The Pioneers were able to knock in their first goal when Eric Brosnan rebounded a penalty kick by Mike Stebbins inside the goal box. _

Six minutes later Brosnan struck again from inside the goal box with an unassisted goal.

With only 32 minutes off the clock Metro's chances were mortally wounded when starting forward Mazen Kayali was issued a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct.

"I was angry about an offsides call, I told him (the official) something and he took it the wrong way," Kayali said.

Kayali will have to sit out the upcoming game against conference rival, University of Southern Colorado.

Having to play with only ten men on the field, due to the red card, the Roadrunners were unable to ever punch in a goal despite 13 attempts compared to DU's 10.

Geir Skari and Ben Flanagan both chalked up second half scores for the Pioneers to hammer the lid on the Roadrunners.

Metro Head Coach Brian Crookham said he is not

dissatisfied with his team's performance. "If we had 11 men we would've had a good game,"

Crookham said. "For the first 20 minutes they (DU) never touched the ball."

Crookham also said that his team needs to work on adjusting to changes that happen in the game.

"We started off strong, then lost our composure," Crookham said. "When you do that, you're trying to dig yourself out of a hole."

Kayali said the Roadrunners are still keeping a posi­tive attitude despite starting the season off with a mirror image of last year's 0-2 start.

"We're a young team and we're good," Kayali said. "We'll come back."

Metro suffered its first loss in the season opener in West Texas A&M University.

The Roadrunners managed to draw first blood in the game when Kayali capitalized on a stolen pass and lobbed in a shot over the keeper's head with only 28 ticks off the clock.

A&M struck back soon after to tie the game with eight minutes remaining in the first half.

With only one-and-a half-minutes remaining, over­time seemed imminent. Then A&M's Lance Lemberg scored off of a free kick to win the game 2- l.

Coach Crookham praised his team on the perfor­mance against West Texas.

"We started three freshman on defense and got great performances out of each of them," Crookham said.

Braun Backer, Kirk Ellsworth, and Tim Blom were the three freshman whose numbers were called. to start in the season opener. Backer registered three shots on goal and Ellsworth had one.

Andy Cross/The METROPOLITAN

USE YOUR HEAD: Metro soccer players Bill Kawamura, left, and Wade Schaefer fight for a ball against the University of Denver on Wednesday.

With less than five minutes remammg sophomore Aldo Castillo was ejected from the game on a high-cleats call. Castillo will likely be Kayali's replacement in the Sept. 10 game against USC.
