SEPTEMBER 22. 1995 The METROPOLITAN 3

President of campus club attacked Student told to 'watch your back' if he doesn't cancel Arab American Awareness Week Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

Even after claiming to have been physically and verbally assaulted, 20-year­old Iyad Allis, president of the Arab Americans of Auraria, has carried on with Arab Awareness Week.

Allis said he was attacked on Monday in Science Building bathroom 100 B at 2:21 p.m. by two men wearing black ski­masks.

Late for class, Allis said he slipped into the men's room and was using the hand dryer when he was physically threat­ened. He said there was no one else, except the attackers, in the bathroom at the time.

'This is only a warning," were the only words said as one of the assailants held Allis' arms behind his back with a knife to his forehead, while the other one punched him in his abdomen, Alfa said.

This week is Arab Awareness Week, and Allis said the Arab-Jewish dialogue on Thursday has stirred emotions. 'That's not something that happens, exactly, every day."

Different events have been publicized

for Arab Awareness Week and the Arab­Jewish dialogue might disturb people who still feel the two nations should not mend ties, Allis said. "It dates way back, but I feel we don't need to make the same mis­takes our parents did."

"We have beefed up security and police presence," Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria

left on Allis desk at the Club Hub, where the Arab Americans of Auraria are sta­tioned.

The letter states: "Cancel Arab Awareness Week. We

are not messing around. Don't

Public Safety said in anticipation of Thursday's event.

think the weak security and police force can stop us." The let­ter continues, "This can bring an end to the Arab Americans of Auraria, starting with the President."

Denver Police Department, Ortiz said. He said there are no leads thus far.

The police report describes the two sus-

the rest of Arab Awareness Week was

not canceled, there would be regret. Police reports state that a phone mes­

sage was left for Allis last week saying that

he should watch his back if he knew what was good for him.

After the Oklahoma City bombing, Allis received the first hate call at the Club Hub. The receptionist, Jeff Lopez, was told to give Allis a message to "watch your back."

'They know who I am," Allis said. "If I have to assume anyone, it would be someone who knows the background of our history."

Allis started the Arab Americans of Auraria last year. There are 30 Metro members and others from different schools. The Club is a chapter of the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services said that any incident of this nature sets a bad example of what Metro stands for. He also said that if and when the attackers are caught, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

"Hopefully this is an isolated sce­nario," Haley said.

"I am doing something that I believe in. I am not doing it to intentionally hurt someone," Allis said.

Practical joke on Metro student government backfires Nguyen Pontiere The METROPOLITAN

An ill-timed practical joke proved to be unamusing to Metro's Student Government Assembly in the midst of

' ongoing racial harassment, Metro assembly members said.

University of Colorado-Denver and Community College of Denver student governments taped an outline of a decapitated body carrying a broken softball bat in front of the Metro student government office Sept. 14. Yellow tape stating "POLICE LINE DO NOT .CROSS" was placed diagonally across the door of the SGA office and next to a head with ears, eyes and a smile, UCD and CCD said.

Lisa Scott, vice president of Student Services for Metro student government, was the first SGA member to see the taped outline between 6:50 and 6:55 a.m. and said the photos which UCD provided are not the same outline she saw that morning.

"I thought it was an actual murder scene," Scott said. She said there was no ears, eyes or smile. "The head

only had three little strands of hair sticking straight up," Scott said. Scott added the head was closer to the body, the angle of the body was completely off, there was no arm going up the door and the tape going across the door was smooth, not crumbled. "It's been recreated," Scott said.

UCD Legislative Chairman Craig McClung said he took the pictures and disagrees with Scott. "I did not touch the outline," McClung said. He explained he took pictures of the outline at 6:45 a.m. Friday and went back to UCD's student government office and watched as Metro student government members arrived. 'Those were the pictures of ·the actual outline and were not touched until APS removed it," McClung said.

Sergeant Kelly Casias from Auraria Public Safety, said he peeled the tape himself and the face contained ears, eyes and a smile. "I knew right away it was a joke when I saw that face," Casias said.

Members of UCD and CCD issued a written apology

BODY DOUBLE?: Metro student Lisa Scott says photos of the practical joke, provided by the jokers, are different from the "body" she discovered.

to the Metro student government. "It has been brought to our attention that personal

threats have been made towards members of your office. We had no prior knowledge of this situation and realize now the distress it may have caused members of your office," the letter states.

The letter continues, "We had hoped that this would build stronger camaraderie between the schools, for it is only when we can laugh at ourselves that we can truly work together."

Metro's SGA also issued a letter regarding UCD and CCD's letter. 'The apology was full of inconsistencies when compared to first-hand information. The letter states they are sorry and had no prior knowledge of any hate related crimes and/or threats against the student govern­ment," the letter stated.

Metro student government members challenge that statement.

"UCD and CCD student governments were advised of such incidents," Metro's letter stated.

CCD Vice President of Student Government Sean Rice said UCD and CCD have a tradition of playing jokes on the different campus offices, such as taping desks and filling one of the finance board offices with l,000 student

evaluations. Rice said the joke was an attempt to involve Metro with the other two colleges after Metro refused to join a softball game and the Death of Education rally held last week.

Rice said he taped the outline, but made a conscious effort to make it look like a joke, thus the smile on the face.

Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria's Public Safety, said the

Student-watchdogs for Auraria Group seeks solutions that will address campus issues, facilities Kristy Frei The MElROPOLITAN

"Say, who?" This was how one Metro student

1 answered when asked if he knew what the acronym SACAB meant.

SACAB stands for Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

Students around Auraria voiced opin­ions when the acronym was brought to their attention. Haimerl

Other students said they wanted to I hear more about SACAB.

SACAB, located in Tivoli room 349, is represented by six members that are all full-time students. Two members from each of the schools on campus make up SACAB.

· According to Amy Haimerl, one of the Metro representatives for SACAB, the group's function is to stand in and lobby for the student body on issues concerning the campus.

"We have informal chats with students around campus and we also gather opinions in our classes," Haimerl said.

Although SACAB does not have a required number of stu­dents that have to be spoken with before they lobby the Auraria Board, Haimerl said she likes to talk to as many people on cam­pus as she can.

"We want to come up with solutions that will represent the entire campus," she said.

Rudy Zehnder, the University of Colorado-Denver represen­tative, said SACAB was involved in initiating the RTD bus pass

, program and helped keep the ACTV deal alive as well.

Harris

"I've seen more team effort now more than ever," Zehnder said.

Haimerl said SACAB worked on a plan to save the Auraria Child Care Center from cutbacks this year. They are also planning on putting out a brochure that will explain what the group is all about.

Founded in 1988, SACAB was formed to advise theAuraria Board on policies about bond-funded facilities and all other Auraria issues.

Each member gets paid with money allotted to them from student bond fees.

SACAB members are elected by the student body during annual campus elections. To qualify candidates must have been a Colorado resident for at least three years.

Haimerl said anyone who. has an interest in campus issues should visit the SACAB office, and opinions are always wel­come. Each member is responsible for a certain committee deal­ing with areas and issues on campus. The other representatives of SACAB are:

•Ed Locher, UCD, Auraria Child Care Center Advisory Board •Ajayi Harris, Metro, Student Union Advisory Board, Multicultural Committee •Macario Greigo, CCD, SACAB Chair, Retail Committee •Larry Males, CCD, Book Center, Library, Public Safety, Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee

Pool leak draining money from Auraria Inspector says pool leaking like a sieve; $220,000 in repairs set for next summer

Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Years of leaking thousands of gallons of water per day will end next summer when the Auraria pool gets an overhaul.

The pool was built in 1976 of mostly aluminum materials, then thought to be the newest and best way to construct pools. Years later, the aluminum, exposed to hot, chemically treated water, began to corrode.

"Water was leaking like a sieve," said Fred Grutzmacher, president of American Leak Detection. He conducted an exten­sive examination of the pool and its oper­ating equipment in December 1993. He recommended that Auraria completely replace the plumbing because it was becoming porous. The leaks were in the piping that returns the water to the pool after it has been heated and treated.

''The leakage rate is on the order of 3,000 gallons a day," said John Ismert, an engineer for Auraria Facilities Management.

The leakage varies from month to month. Water usage for November 1994

was 104,000 gallons, 86,000 in December, and 127,300 in January. The pool holds 250,000 gallons.

If the pool lost 3,000 gallons a day since 1991, it would have lost more than four million gallons since the leaks were first noted.

Auraria pays 86 cents per thousand gallons of water. This does not include the cost to heat and chemically treat the water. Exact figures of water loss and the cost of treating the water were not avail­able because facilities management has not tracked those numbers.

Auraria first asked the state to appro­priate money to repair the pool in 1991 for the 1992-93 fiscal year, Ismert said.

With that much water leaking from the pool, Ismert said, "Some of the people here are kind of holding their breath that it doesn't just completely break down."

"If it did break down then I guess we would receive an emergency appropria­tion to get it back in order," he said.

Although there is no known structur­al damage to the building fr9m the leaks, Ismert said they will have an architect do a visual inspection of the building to make sure.

The water that leaks from the pool goes to an underground drainage system and then it's put into the sewer system.

The state appropriated $220,000 in Auraria's budget to repair the pool next summer. The repairs will require closing the pool for three to four months, said Jim Kelley, division director of Facilities Management.

ONE FULL AURAIUA CAMPUS POOL lS0,000 GALLONS

Rather than repair the existing plumbing, Auraria is going to put in a new gutter system and discontinue using the old system.

If we were to repair the old system, we would have to go under the concrete deck creating further expense, said Dick Feuerborn, director of Auraria Facilities Planning and Use.

Some of the other repairs are to move the bulkhead, which separates the deep end from the shallow end. Races will begin at the deep end. Safety regulations deemed the shallow end too shallow for the dive used to begin races.

The pool will also receive a new liner

to protect the aluminum shell from corro­sion.

In the past Auraria had to have the pool painted every few years with special paint to control corrosion costing about $40,000 the last time, Kelley said.

"We looked at the cost of replacing it versus repairing it and we felt with the proper repair job and the life cycle cost­ing, it was much better to repair it," Kelley said. The cost to replace the pool is around $500,000 to $600,000, he said.

"I'm hoping we don't have any major problems with it for about 10 years at least," Kelley said.

Student thought practical joke was 'actual murder' From page 8

yellow police tape was supplied by one of the Tivoli security guards. Ortiz refused to give the officer's name, but added because of a shift change another guard was also involved. The officers have not been disci­plined, Ortiz said.

The UCD and CCD letter of apology states, "APS did not assist in the practical joke." McClung later said an APS officer did get the tape out of the trash and sup-

plied it to the student governments. Barb Weiske, director. of the Tivoli

Student Union, added the tape may have been taken out of one of the trash cans in the Tivoli, since the third floor of the Tivoli is roped off each night to dissuade people from entering the upper levels.

Ortiz added names were taken down for an administrative report that consists of documenting the report and filing it. "There was no criminal report filed, because there was no criminal intent,"

Ortiz said. "It was a prank." Amy Haimerl, Metro representative

for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, was the only Metro student involved and said it was a practical joke. "We hoped they would see it as a joke and retaliate with another joke," Haimerl said.

Dominique Reneau, vice president for UCD student government, said she feels terrible about the incident. "We had no idea of the circumstances," Reneau said. "Had we known, we would not have done

anything of the sort." Weiske said after she heard of the

additional circumstances, the outline struck her differently. "Even if it was a joke, you can really take it the wrong way," Weiske said.

"My security guards had poor judg­ment in not picking up the outline, just because they did not want to interrupt somebody's joke," Weiske said.

"It was a prank that had very poor timing," she said.

PARK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE: Students who attach bikes to anything that isn't a bike rack will have to pay up to $20 to have a bike 'boot' removed.

Bikes bound to trees being given the boot Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

Bikers beware of the boot. In a matter of weeks, Facilities

Management and Auraria Public Safety will put an initiative together to keep cam­pus bikes from being locked to trees and poles by booting all bikes that are not parked in racks.

Public safety has been issuing "Courtesy Tickets" and verbal warnings to violators, but according to Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria Public Safety, a final draft to boot bikes will go into effect within four to five weeks.

"It was a problem that needed to be addressed," Ortiz said. "When students don't use the bike racks, it is assumed that they are riding around campus, which is not allowed," Ortiz pointed out. He also said that bike locks damage the shrubbery and trees.

Andy Chitwood, division director of parking for Auraria, said, "Some people put bikes in a place where a wheelchair can't get by." ''Nothing has been approved

at this time. We still have a number of things to work out," he said.

Ortiz said the cost will be anywhere from $5 to $20 to remove the boot. He also said that there are considerations to raise the removal price on second and third time offenders.

The plan to boot bikes is still very much in the process, Ortiz said. "We are churning it out as fast as we can."

Metro student John Hutchison said he always parks his bike in the racks and is not opposed to the new rule.

"I think it's a joke," Sean Hair, a University of Colorado-Denver graduate student said. "They're already ripping us off in so many other ways."

Auraria Public Safety and Auraria Parking still have to come to terms on the method of impounding the bicycles.

Bikes in Denver are not required to be registered anymore, according to Ortiz. He said that it would make sense to enforce the old law all over Colorado so there would be no confusion as to whom the bikes' belong.

Auraria begins search for new vice president Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

The Auraria Board of Directors took its first step on the long path toward find­ing a new leader for the Auraria campus.

The Board announced the formation of a search committee Aug. 21 to find a new Executive Vice President for Administration. The committee includes representatives from the Community College of Denver, the University of Colorado-Denver, the Auraria Board and the

session, she said. "We won't be shut out of the process,"

Kaplan said. "In fact, we' II very much be a part of it."

The chairwoman of the search com­mittee is Selena Dunham, a local business­woman appointed to the Auraria board by Gov. Roy Romer in 1994. As well as run­ning her own consulting business for the last 12 years, Dunham was a board mem­ber of the Auraria Foundation and serves on the Denver Private Industry Council.

many chief exec­utive officers," Dunham said.

The position of Executive Vice President for Administration is defined as "the deal came from Metro

President Sheila Kaplan, the Metro Faculty Senate and Metro's Student Government Assembly. But that fact had no bearing on the selection of the search committee to find Soker's replacement, according to Manuel Martinez, chairman of the Auraria Board and the man who appointed most of the committee.

"There was no attempt to favor one institution over another," Martinez said. He chose the search committee with an eye toward including the administration, facul­ty, students and community of Auraria, he said.

Kaplan is not concerned about Metro's exclusion from the search com­mittee, since they will be acting in open

At last Monday's meeting, Dunham said she had already received 20 phone calls from applicants. Committee member Tim Sandos said he expects the committee to receive over 400 resumes. To help deal with the paperwork, a search firm will be hired. The firm will screen applicants and

New provost calls campus 'vibrant sea' Anna Maria Basquez The METROPOLITAN

International experience and a pas­sion for history are just two attributes of Metro's new provost and vice president of academic affairs.

Sharon A. Siverts, with 18 years of national and international work in educa­tion, was named to the position Aug. 1.

She is new to Colorado and most recently served as provost of North Dakota State University.

'This campus is what I would call a vibrant sea," Siverts said. "It is a campus with so much vitality because of the stu­dents and faculty that are here."

Her major responsibility is to provide leadership to Metro's academic programs, she said.

"That means really working with the faculty, studying the academic agenda and

working to achieve the goals that are set," Siverts. said. "It also means making sure we have quality programs that integrate students and being responsive to our major constituents."

In addition, she will work on capital­izing on the faculty and student services to revise of process for orienting students with the campus.

She will be part of faculty activity­defining the three major task forces out­lined by Metro President Sheila Kaplan on Aug. 23. They cover areas of diversity, enrollment management and technology.

"Under Dr. Siverts' leadership," Kaplan said at the speech, "I am confident that Metro's students will reap the benefits of an ever more challenging academic experience."

With a tight calendar, Siverts still finds time outside of administrative life to

relive another time and place.

"I go to a place called Rhendevous and shoot a .SO-cal­iber muzzle­loader for com­petition," she said.

Rhendevous allows visitors to Siverts re-enact the 1840's with cos-tumes, days on the trail and nights at the campfire, Siverts said.

"You get out into an open area and live the early times when traders would pass through, you tell stories and share," she said.

She and her husband frequent the

hobby, participating in competitions that include knife-throwing and shooting paper or metal targets.

Siverts studied in Germany on a Fulbright Award granted in 1993 and will do some work with educational institu­tions in the Philippines next year on another Fulbright Award.

The American Council Education Fellowship chose Siverts in I 98 I to research education with a university pres­ident.

She is from Washington and has a doctorate in education and human ecology from Pennsylvania State University. Siverts has done administrative work at Humboldt State University and Oregon State University.

Besides her role in academic affairs, she is a professor of sociology.

Sound Financial Advice for Students

Dear Financial Connections, This is my second semester

at Metro and I'm having a difficult time deciding if I should take out a student loan to help with my college expenses. After paying for tuition, books and a new backpack, I'm broke!

I work part-time to cover my bills. but I always seem to run out of money before the end of the month. Are student loans a practical way to go or do I just need to budget my money to make it last?

Signed, Starving Student

Dear Starving Student, Trying to cover expenses for

both school and everyday living can be difficult to manage. This semester MSCD has introduced a new program designed to help students with a wide range of financial services. The Student Finance Resource Center provides Metro students with solutions to immediate and long-term financial problems. Some of the services available to students include financial planning and budgeting. scholarship search services and Short-Term Student loans. Every month, the Student Finance Resource center holds a financial planning workshop, free to all MSCD students. To find out more about The Student Finance Resource Center. come by and talk to the director, Tom Muenzberg. His office is located in the Tivoli Student Union. Suite 305.

Student representative Rudy Zehnder voiced his concern at spending anywhere from $I 0,000 to $30,000 on a search firm in light of recent budget cuts, but Dunham suggested they wouldn't be able to objec­tively review the large number of applica­tions expected.

UCD Psychology professor Joy Berrenberg, a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, is on the committee, as is UCD stu­dent Rudy Zehnder, a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

and government relations for Tele­communications, Inc., has a history of serving on education committees, includ­ing four years as Mayor Federico Pena's assistant for families and education.

"My father was a city councilman at the time Auraria was being planned," Sandos said. "I have an idea of what his vision was for the campus."

"We could end up spending far more on the wrong person," Dunham said.

Both Berrenberg and Zehnder sit on the Auraria board as non-voting represen­tatives of their respective organizations, FACAB and SACAB.

According to the committee's sched­ule, Auraria should have a new chief exec­utive officer by next January. In the mean­time, Dean Wolf, Auraria's vice president for operations, is serving as interim vice president. Wolf has expressed interest in the position if it is offered to him.

The Auraria Executive Council, con­sisting of the heads of the three schools, chose CCD President Byron McClenney to represent them on the search commit-

YOU GET A COl\fi>LIMENT LllffiTHAT.

All financial companies charge operating fees and expenses - some more than others. Of

course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way more of your money goes where it should - towards building a comfortable future.

We make low expenses a high priority.

Because of our size and our exclusive focus on serving the needs of educational and research communities, TIAA-CREF's costs are among the lowest in the insurance and mutual fiinds industries. 1

In fact, Morningstar, Inc. - one of the nation's leading sources of variable annuity and mutual fund information - says, "Size isn't a constraint; it ... enables CREF to realize a remarkable economy of scale.''2 According to Morningstar's data, CREF's "minuscule" 0.31% average fund expense charge was less than half that charged by comparable funds.3

TIAA's traditional annuity also charges no fees

aside from a very modest operating expense of 1/4of1 % of annuity assets. Interest and dividends are reported after all operating costs have been deducted. Standard & Poor's calls TIAA's costs "exceptionally low."4

Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an invesbnent decision. While we're committed to keeping our expenses down, we spare nothing in trying to provide top­quality investment choices, financial expertise, and personal service. Because that can make a difference in the long run, too .

TIAA-CREF seeks performance, not profit.

At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would like to spend more on retirement, not on their retire­ment company. If y0t.\'d iike to see how our approach can help keep more of your money working for you, call us at 1 800 842-2776 (8 a .m . to 11 p.m. ET, weekdays). We'd consider it a compliment.

Republicans and Democrats accuse each other for this fine mess It must be getting near election time

again as the politicians are already out in numbers telling the citizenry about how bad things are and that they are the only ones who can set things right.

I find neither sides' arguments very convincing since neither party has been able to do anything in the last 200 years except cause consistently greater and greater problems.

Besides not being able to solve problems effectively, government bureaucrats can't even come up with original attempts at solutions (English department take heed, doesn't this con­stiMe plagiarism). But what the govern­ment bureaucrats don't realize is that the citizens are catching on to what is hap­pening, and they are not happy.

For example, while perusing the Sunday paper, I uncovered at least ten different "scare" stories purportedly assuming that the problems with the economy are the fault, according to the Republicans, of the Democrats: whilst further on the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for the same thing. Why don't these fools realize that they are both at fault and we, the citizens, are the victims who buy into this continuing rhetoric?

Let us take an example right from The Metropolitan several weeks ago, when one of the reporters inter­viewed U.S. Representative Pat Schroeder as she made an appearance on campus trying to persuade students that the Republicans are trying to kill their financial aid. During this interview she made the statement that students should not be held responsible for the national debt that they did not personal­ly ir.cur.

This I find fascinating since conser­vative economists (mostly Republicans)

Brett Haselton

LOOKING AT

POLITICS

have been saying the same thing for years when discussing the national debt. Is Pat a closet Republican?

The national debt has been a canker sore in American society, but have you ever stepped back and exam­ined it closely? If you do, you will realize that this is more of a political device than a serious issue.

The national debt is truly of little sig­nificance in the big picture. The simplis­tic model looks something like this: The legislators decide how much money is wanted to fulfill their agenda. They then examine the income expected from the income-tax system. If there is not enough, which happens frequently, the legislators need to acquire more funds. They do this by selling securities, backed by faith in the government, to pri­vate investors. Once the government receives this money, they then redistrib­ute it to the departments or agencies that request funding.

This model accentuates the point that national debt is not the citizen's problem. We didn't borrow the funds, we had no decision in how the funds are spent, why then should we be responsi­ble to pay it back.

Not many people ever question this. As for the debt itself, we needn't worry.

Professor's parking prerogative Dear Whomever,

On more than one occasion, I have gotten the distinct impression that certain individuals on the faculty or in the adminis­tration were arrogant and insensitive to the needs and concerns of the students here at Metro. I suggest that this is the result of a self-centered life-view in which the per­sonal needs of these individuals are per­ceived by them to have priority over every­thing, period.

I'd like to share with the student body, an incident that recently occurred at Parking Lot H, that seems to epitomize this arrogant, childishly selfish attitude. A facul­ty member, a Dr. Cohen of the Biology Department, was observed driving his car from the street, over the sidewalk, across the grass, and into Lot H, leaving very obvi­ous tracks in the lawn.

When confronted by me about his actions, Dr. Cohen explained (as if to a

fool) that if he had not driven across the walk and the .grass, he would have had to wait {along with everyone else) for traffic to go around the corner, and he was not about to do that. Rather than wait 2 or 3 minutes, the arrogant Dr. Cohen appears to be willing to risk doing hundreds of dol­lars worth of damage to Auraria sidewalks and lawns (paid for with our truces and fees), and to put unsuspecting pedestrians at risk.

Unfortunately, the campus cop that I called was only able to issue a "slap on the wrisr ticket. If it were up to me, I would revoke the good doctor's parking privileges entirely. This seems an appropriate punish­ment for one who should, at his age and in his position, have a much clearer aware­ness and understanding of the conse­quences of his behavior.

Michael Oberndorf Metro Student

The only time to start worrying is when government says we need to balance the budget.

Balancing the budget is not benefi­cial to anybody. Debt is good, the more we have the better. Think of it this way:

If as an individual, Visa sends you a card. You then go out and charge a few purchases. If you pay the bill off at the end of the month, Visa makes no money (except for the yearly service charge). Ori the other hand if you pay only the minimum payment you incur little bur­den, while Visa makes money. Visa counts on you to make the monthly pay­ments. This gives them leverage to extend further credit. This starts a posi­tive flow. This carries over to the nation­al picture. If we pay off the national debt there will be no positive cash flow_

If there is no positive economic flow, there is no economic growth. If there is no potential for growth, there will be no further investment capital. The whole scenario will revert back to a cash only system, taking credit out of the picture. This model will not work for an evolving society. Credit and debt are essential.

So the next time Schroeder and the boys start espousing the negatives of debt, and attempting to place the blame for it on those "bad Republicans" remind them what the negative implications would be.

Also, when she "scares" you with the thought that you might lose your financial aid, simply smile and remind her that if we did not have to pay her salary, with perks, every year at least 5 more students could get a full-ride schol­arship.

This in itself multiplies out to the addition of five more intelligent life-forms who may not vote her in again. That would be the greatest benefit of all.

Bod weal her di1ruph all-day even I Harsh weather and an unexpected cancella­

tion conspired to make Metrofest '95 a small indoor gathering rather than the outdoor party-in­the-sun organizers had hoped for.

Icy rain and cool temperatures Wednesday forced the event, sponsored by Metro Student Activities, to move from the North Classroom lawn into the Turnhalle. The lure of bands, ven­dors and free beverages was not enough to attract a sizable audience.

Students who heard the music streaming from the open doors of the Tivoli stopped by to enjoy the entertainment, but the many others who didn't know that the fest was still on, simply passed by.

Early in the afternoon some curious on-look­ers wandered in, attracted by the smoky, soothing

voice of blues singer Hazel Miller and her band. The music seemed appropriate to the gray weath­er outside, encouraging students stay warm and dry and enjoy the music.

Vendors offered jewelry, clothing and music to tempt shoppers and free ice-cold sodas were available.

The band Humble Groove, continued the entertainment into the middle of the afternoon with a folk sound. But the band many students were waiting to see, Lord of Word and the Disciples of Bass, never showed.

The popular local band, known for their unique blend of jazz fusion, funk, rap and hard­core, canceled out at the last minute. Disappointed fans left the hall as most of the ven­dors dispersed.

~ Professor has flair for controversy

€ I

Oneida Mascarenas gets rise out of students; no tolerance for 'white mind-set' Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

B ring her name up in a conversation and you are almost guaranteed a response. It's her politics, politics, politics that spark a comment

whether you agree with her or not. Oneida Mascarenas is a woman

obsessed with politics - her politics. The first full-time female professor to be hired by the Metro Political Science department is in no stretch of the imagination a wall­flower.

The woman behind the Ph.D. and pol­itics is called kind, compassionate and fun by her colleague, professor Robert Hazan. Political Science Chairman, Norman Provizer, is proud to have her controversial politics in his department.

"All of us should be controversial if we're doing what we ought to be doing," he said, calling himself the "chief malcon­tent in a department full of malcontents."

Mascarenas is no stranger to Metro. She was born in Gilman, Colorado, grew up in Grand Junction then moved to Denver while working for Mountain Bell. She received her bachelor's degree in political science from Metro in I 983 after going to college for "a good 10 years."

"I just took classes I was interested in," she said. "I never looked at being degree'd. Degrees were something that .. some people wanted and I just wanted knowledge."

"Someone finally said, 'you have to get out of here,' so I picked political sci­ence by default." She also studied art and psychology at Metro and then went on to get her master's and doctorate at the University of Colorado-Boulder where she taught before coming here.

She credits her late husband, also a political science professor, for shaping her ideas on what she calls "the politics of the oppressed or the powerless."

"He was the one who finally bridged the gap between the street and academia for me," she said.

Donna Hickey !The METROPOLITAN

INTO THE FIRE: Oneida Mascarenas, political science professor, discuss­es her favorite subject, politics, with a philosophy student.

"I learned a lot from him in how he dealt with academia, unfortunately I didn't learn enough because I still have a lot of battles." she said, laughing.

The battles she speaks of are the fights against racism and sexism on campus and in society.

"I'm really curious about the way men and women operate even on an academic level," she said.

"There are students who give more respect to a man than a woman. Whenever I say something or do something I have to qualify myself. I'm not given any authori­ty or legitimacy just by the mere fact that I have a Ph.D."

Her teaching methods are non-tradi­tional in that she encourages her students to look at history without a Eurocentric perspective.

"She belongs to a school of thought that questions the validity of Western European philosophical tradition and social structures in the study of the American continent," Hazan said.

Monica Garcia, Metro graduate, said Mascarenas offers balance to an otherwise

unbalanced curriculum. "Some students may come into her

class and feel that it is not balanced. They may feel that she is too harsh on the devel­opment of the United States ... but that's in one class. We have to look at it in perspec­tive to the whole curriculum," Garcia said.

Garcia said that Mascarenas focuses on how policies were formed about differ­ent people by the way that Americans viewed them.

Some people say that Mascarenas doesn' t like white men, but it is the white mind-set she says she finds disagreeable.

She describes a white mind-set as being one based on materialism, individu­ality and greed.

"I really have no tolerance for people who are self-serving," Mascarenas said.

She said she is less tolerant of a white mind-set in people of color because she has higher expectations of them. But, she adds that people of color are less likely to have a white mind-set.

She said that Americans don't have a culture.

"Rather than pay tribute to any one culture ... you c.reate a new culture that is

void of anything organic." "The most attractive thing to me, is to

see a white man that is beyond that and is happy with himself," she said.

She chuckles when she adds that her ideas cross over to her personal life.

"I don't have a tolerance for that kind of mind-set, even on a dating level. Of course, once you have those ideas in your head you are going to be alone."

Her best friend is her dog Zia. Occasionally she can be seen walking across campus with Zia running behind her, his leash dragging on the ground.

"I hang out more with my dog and Maxine than I do adults right now," she said.

Maxine is the 9-year-old daughter of a neighbor who has adopted Mascarenas. She has her own room in Mascarenas' house and spends quite a bit of time with her.

"I've always had the urge to have chil­dren around me; either children or adults that act like children," Mascarenas said. Children keep her in touch with her play­ful side.

At 46, Mascarenas said that if she had

regrets it was that she didn't have a child. She has many diverse interests. All

her life she has been a jock, competing regionally and nationally in handball. She likes to run , ride her bike and has tried kayaking.

She said her competitive jock person­ality is in conflict with her politics.

"I do like going to Bronco games and watching sports, but at the same time it is very bourgeoisie," she said.

"I mean this whole economy is built on these three or four sports that we have in Denver. Now that really disturbs me, but I'm contributing to it," she said.

Mascarenas is a registered Democrat but is not involved in local politics because she said her job and her students are her major concern.

''They still play a big part of what I do," she said.

Andrew Liegey, a Metro student, spoke highly of Mascarenas, saying that she would help him with his papers even when he wasn't in one of her classes and that her knowledge of Native and Latin American studies is insightful.

Last year she became embroiled in controversy when a Native American stu­dent approached her with a concern over the teaching of a history class by Professor Tom Altherr.

She said it was indirectly her battle but it really was between the student and the professor.

It was one of my battles because it was one of my student's battles and I can't separate the two, she said.

She said it bothered her that people didn't credit the students for sayi{lg what they felt.

"I didn't put this in their minds," she said. "I have no motive to destroy Tom."

She got involved because she was the student's faculty advisor and the student needed support.

She said that she felt uncomfortable with some of the things Altherr said and taught before the controversy, but that it was up to the history department and the students to change it.

"I teach the way I think things should be taught and if students want to change me, then they'll work on changing me," she said.

Professionally, Mascarenas said she has to publish something in the next cou­ple of years.

She is working on two textbooks. One is an introductory text to Native American studies and the other she calls a Native American supplement to the study of social movements.

She is also working on an autobiogra­phy, which promises to be interesting, involving the personal aspects of her life, though she said she has embellished some of the aspects.

She is guarded about her past, so it will be interesting to see how much she reveals when she publishes her personal work.

"I could have told you complete lies ... I thought about it," she ended with a mys­terious smile a~d an easy laugh.

Gay love, comedy and AIDS Touching film about the heart, intimacy, transcends gender Eric Deiss The METROPOLITAN

J effrey, Paul Rudnick's off-Broadway play, now a film, is showing for a few more weekends at The Mayan Theater on 1st Avenue and Broadway in Denver. If you wish to engage your own uneasiness toward gay themes and

AIDS, don't miss Jeffrey. You may be surprised to find out what you learn; that tragedy and comedy can be mixed and subtle. It has a unique comedic air centered around a touchy subject- gay love and AIDS.

Jeffrey is wonderfully directed by Christopher Ashley, and stars Steven Weber, Patrick Stewart, Michael T. Weiss, Bryan Batt and Sigourney Weaver. It was shot on location in New York. What better place for such a love story, where a gay pride day parade seems like just another walk in the park. Paul Rudnick, who also co-produced Jeffrey, has not given up any of the zip that the play had when it was running off-Broadway.

The movie is a nice idea. Man seeks love and ends up find­ing another man ... and love ... and maybe, sex? No, not neces­sarily, when the other someone is HN positive.

Jeffrey, played by Steven Weber, is merely seeking intimacy in the '90s, with the help of his gay friends Sterling (Patrick Stewart) and Darius (Brian Batt), who try to set him up with Steve (Michael T. Weiss). Both Jeffrey and Steve are perfect for each other on the screen, both are strong characters, which adds to the tension between them. Are these two ever going to hook up together? One wonders.

Another suave presence on the screen is added by Stewart. It was unique to see him playing a different role than a stern star­ship captain, he makes his part interesting and the subject enjoy­

, able with his candor.

Sigourney Weaver is not unfamiliar to such unusual envi-

ronments either, where she is widely recognized as Ridley Scott in the Aliens trilogy. She plays a somewhat sarcastic director of sexual compulsive anonymous meetings; with the tenacity of a game show host, or a radical preacher, she badgers the few who come up on stage to share with "us" what they are most ashamed of or brag about.

What is most interesting about this movie is how the stereo­typed layers of gay life and AIDS are stripped away to reveal something true about everyone who seeks love. As a chorus of laughing and cheers were a constant from the audience, I could tell this was not a typical movie-going crowd. Jeffrey is a chal­lenge to decipher our assumptions about what is real of societal values toward gay life and AIDS; not merely sensational, graph­ic or explicit. Jeffrey is a funny, comfortable movie I could take my mom to.

Deadheads examined Film chronicles nomadic fans' activities over span of five Grateful Dead concerts Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

A !though times have changed, a lifestyle remains, driven by love, harmony and drugs.

Tie-Died is a documentary directed by Andrew Behar, a graduate of New York University's film school. Behar traveled with the Deadheads from the West Coast of Seattle to the East Coast of Washington D.C.

In his travels, Behar covered five con­cert sites and shot over 20 hours of footage.

A Deadhead is described in the press release for Tie-Died as, "someone who loves and draws meaning from the music of the Grateful Dead and the experience of Dead shows, and community with others who feel the same."

Today it is estimated that there are over I ·million Dead fans. Among the fans there are a wide variety of people: lawyers, doctors, students, suburbanites, the home­less and of course, ex- and future hippies.

The Deadheads are a village on wheels (Volkswagen-bus- wheels mostly) that started with some 20,000 to 50,000 fans who followed the Grateful Dead from city to city.

According to the documentary, the caravan of Deadheads began 30 years ago when Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters first began the psychedelic road trip that was documented in Tom Wolfe's book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Through the years the world evolved but the Deadheads kept on trucking. It wasn't until the '80s that the Deadhead caravan grew to the realm of 80,000 followers .

The documentary follows the every­day lives of those we call Deadheads. It includes various musical performances produced by Deadheads, interviews with

--........... \ .

_ LOSING MY RELIGION: A griz­zled Deadhead takes a break from riding his bike through "the lot" at a Grateful Dead gig. three generations of Deadheads, inter­views with vendors and reactions from townspeople where the Grateful Dead per­form.

Deadheads sometimes describe their way of life as a religion. It is a way of life free from the stresses of the outside world that they call "oblivion."

Many Deadheads consider themselves all a part of the same family.

The magic that is shared mutually between the Grateful Dead and their loyal Deadhead followers was described best in an interview with Ken Kesey, shown before Tie-Died, in which he said: "The Grateful Dead weren' t just playing what was on the music sheets, they were play­ing what was in the air."

SEPTEMBER 22. 1995 The METROPOLITAN 15

U of Denver soccer haunts Metro Roadrunners lose I -nil heartbreaker to Pioneers in bad weather Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

When the women's soccer team faced off with the University of Denver on Wednesday it was deja vu.

Last Oct. 5 Metro played DU to a 1-1 tie in · drizzling, snowy conditions at Auraria Fields in what turned out to be the season's best and most physical contest.

Fast forward to Wednesday. Metro and DU have played 80 minutes of physically demanding soccer in rain, drizzle, snow and cold weather and are tied at zero.

"It was a lot like last

seasons at Metro. "I couldn' t have asked her to do anything

else," Montojo said. ~'It's really too bad that she played that great and still gets the loss."

Metro fell to 1-4 overall with the loss to DU and a similar 1-0 loss Friday to University of Missouri-St. Louis.

"The Missouri-St. Louis game was similar in that we gave up a late goal to lose," Montojo said.

Indeed they did. The two teams played scoreless soccer for 70:59 before Jenni Burto of Missouri-St. Louis scored from inside the box giving year," Metro coach Ed

Montojo said. "It was kind of erie how similar it was."

ner kick. "That was a tough

way to lose a game," Montojo said. "I was preparing for overtime like last season. I haven't seen the tape y€!e, but I think we left someone unmarked by the back post." .

DU came into the game ranked in the top I 0 and the Roadrunners proved that they are a high-caliber team by competing for a full 90 minutes.

ing well." Metro started the season

with hopes of winning the Colorado Athletic Conference but now appear out of position at 1-2 in CAC play to do so.

Mccourt said she is glad the team started slowly this season because expectations and pressure are off.

Metro could manage only eight shots to DU's 14, but played tough defense in front of Roadrunner goal keeper Chellie Mccourt. McCourt said the conditions were tough.

''Today, with the weather, it was hard," McCourt said. "It was pretty cold."

McCourt made six saves on the day and, Montojo said, it was her best game in her three

"It's good for our team to start at the bot­tom and work our way up instead of like last year when we were at the top and had the big drop," McCourt said, referring to last season's 9-0 start.

The Roadrunners play at Fort Lewis on Saturday with a noon kick-off.

"We are coming together," McCourt said. "Right now, all we can do is go up."

IN FLIGHT: Metro women's soccer player Tracy Mayes focuses on the ball in Wednesday's match against the University of Denver Pioneers at Auraria Fields. Metro lost in the closing minutes of regulation 1-0 and fell to 1-4 on the season.

Men's soccer nets season's first win Roadrunners beat Cal State-Stanislaus 2-1 then drop two straight matches

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The men's soccer team gave up 15 goals in five matches - losing the first four - before outscoring Cal State­Stanislaus 2-1 Saturday in California to gain Metro's first victory of the season.

Metro improved to 1-4, giving rookie coach Brian Crookham his first collegiate win.

"It felt good-finally," Crookham said. "They got a goal early on us that really didn't have any effect on us."

Cal-State scored at 33:58 in the first­half when Gustavo Duran poked one in from 18 yards out to take the early lead.

No one scored again in the half as Metro held Cal-State to just three shots while taking seven.

The Roadrunners struck quickly in the second half when Mazen Kayali scored on a penalty kick at 46:07. Kayali then assisted Bill Kawamaura at 74:21 from eight-yards out, giving Metro the lead for good.

For the game, the Roadrunners out­shot Cal-State 19-6 and had three corner kicks to Cal-State's two. Freshman goal keeper Joey Velotta made five saves in the game filling in for starting keeper Larry Sersante who is out for the season with a broken jaw.

"Larry had surgery (Sept. 12) and

(doctors) told him he'd be out 12 weeks, so that's the season for him," Crookham said.

While Velotta has given up 15 goals in five games, Crookham said he is pleased with his keeper.

"It's tough but Joey is growing as a keeper every time he steps in there," Crookham said. "We're missing a little bit of leadership there but he's done well. It's tough when you start three freshman defenders and a freshman goal keeper."

Metro dropped two-out-of-three games last week, losing 4- 1 Sept. 14 to Regis and 2-1 Sunday at Westminster College in Utah.

"We've lost a couple of games that

we've dominated teams," Crookham said. 'There are a couple of games we should have won."

Metro has been outscored 19-6 this season with most goals coming in the sec­ond half.

"We give up too much in the later stages of the game," Crookham said.

Late Tuesday evening Metro was defeated 2-0 at Colorado School of Mines, dropping its record to 1-6 on the season.

Statistics were not available at ·press time.

The Roadrunners travel to the Air Force Academy to take on the Falcons Saturday at 7 p.m. They return home Oct. l against Fort Lewis at I p.m.

Miserable start for V-ball Roadrunners flounder at 2-6 as team fails .to live up to preseason expec-tations - coach says youth and inexperience costing team victories .. Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The women's volleyball team started the season with expectations of great things to come from all of its stellar recruits and transfers.

A 2-6 start leaves the team waiting for a spark to ignite the squad to play up to its talent-level.

Metro's woes became apparent Tuesday when it lost in five games to Colorado School of Mines.

''Last year we hit rock bottom when we lost to (University of Colorado­Colorado Springs) and this was the same kind of thing," Coach Rhonda Williams said. "We've been playing tough teams, but this time we got beat by a team less talented than us."

Metro started poorly, falling behind 7-0 in the first game before recovering to lose 15-11. Game two went back and forth with the lead being exchanged four times before Mines again prevailed, this time dropping a 15-13 decision.

"I couldn't believe the horrible start

we had," Williams said. the time, but I expect them to try to win all the time," Williams said. "They are a new

group. I'm not giv­ing up."

Schuette finished with eight kills, 1 I digs and a .428 attacking percentage. The Roadrunners

stormed back behind the play of Marnie Salhus-Adams (21 kills) and Yolonda Milton ( 19 kills) and took games three and four 15-10, 15-5.

Game five started auspicious­ly for the Roadrunners as they built a 5-0 lead in the rally­scoring format that is enacted in the deciding game. Rally scor-ing awards a point on every serve with no side-out scoring.

'Last year we hit rock bot­tom when we lost to

(University of Colorado­Colorado Springs) and this

was the same kind of thing.'

Rhonda Williams - Metro volleyball coach

Losing the Mines match was the final insult to a week that saw Metro lose all three of its match­es in the Colorado Challenge, a tour­nament they co­hosted with Regis.

Regis, the third-ranked team in the nation when the tournament began, handled tJie Roadrunners easi-

1 y to open the event with a 15-10, 15-9, 15-

Stacey Hoyt led the Roadrunners with five kills and 11 digs but an embar­rassing .045 attack percentage.

"That is the first time in my career here that we have finished with a negative team attack percentage (-.048),". Williams said.

It didn't get much better Saturday as the Roadrunners were spanked again by a superior team. Cal State University­Bakersfield ran away with a 15-2, 15-3, 15-7 victory. The Roadrunners finished with a .132 attack percentage and were led by Hoyt who finished with nine kills and eight digs.

"I told them I'd try to find a way to win, and they need to come with me," Williams said. "They have enough fight in them. This is a wake-up call. I'm on their side. The fans are on their side."

Mines climbed back into the game and eventually won 15-11, thus breaking the Roadrunners' backs.
