Three student government members, including President Stephanie Stevenson, were removed from office last week after they were deemed academically ineligible, said Student Activities Director Zav Dadabhoy.

Besides Stevenson, two appointed members of l!tudent gov­ernment were dismissed Oct. 24 -John Olivett, vice president of per­sonnel and finance, and Tracey Monteiro, vice president of student services.

The officers' ineligibility came to light after the Office of Student Activities launched an investigation to determine who on the eight-

;.. member government fulfilled the grade point average and six-credit minimum requirements to be a member. It was discovered that Monteiro, Olivett and Stevenson did not meet those criteria.

Stephanie Stevenson

Stevenson became ineligible when she did not have a minimum of six credits during the Spring 1996 semester, said student govern­ment Chief Justice Pete Rutt. Stevenson would only offer one Tracey Monteiro

comment Wednesday in her defense.

qualified to hold office," Rutt said.

Both Monteiro and Olivett failed to keep a 2.0 GPA for the entirety of their terms in office. While Monteiro is currently above that mark and has been since the end of the summer, she had slipped below the minimum during the summer when she was appointed, Rutt said. He was

However, he did say that this may be a good oppor­.tunity for student government to ease some of the dissen­sion that has been present since the term began.

"This is a good opportunity to move ahead and put all this bull crap behind them," he said.

An appeals process allows seven school days from the date of notification for dismissed members to appeal the decisions. Stephenson and Monteiro have until Monday to appeal, and Olivett has to enter an appeal by Thursday.

The eligibility investigation came in response to Metro student Tara Levstek's letter requesting student government's eligibility status. Levstek said she had received information that some of the members may not be eligible, although she would not reveal the source of this information. She said this case should be an easy one to settle.

"Eligibility is pretty cut and dry. There's no question. If you' re ineligible, you're ineligible. There 's no fuzzy line there," she said.

Faculty quit lawsuit Defendants' lengthy questionnaire has chilling effect in case Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

Faced with tough legal interrogation, twelve Metro professors dropped out of the class-action salary lawsuit against the college and its Trustees.

Now, 72 Metro professors remain ensnared in a legal battle which began in 1992 when the members of the faculty first brought grievances over Metro's salary system to Denver District Court.

Norm Pence, a member of the execu­tive council for the Faculty Protection Association, a group comprised of the plaintiffs, said some of the professors dropped the suit after learning they would have to submit detailed written answers to a 54-question interrogatory sent out by the

defense. The rest dropped out when they saw the scope of the questioning, Pence said.

Jack Wesoky, the senior assistant attorney general who is representing the defendants, asked the professors to reply to the questionnaire in July, At that time, he also notified the FPA that all its mem­bers would be required to answer ques­tions verbally, under oath, sometime this winter.

Wesoky did not return phone calls to comment on the case.

Pence said he feels Wesoky and other attorneys working with him on the case used the interrogatories to discourage the plaintiffs.

"Of course they're trying to intimi­date people and encourage people to drop out, that's part of their job," Pence said.

Although the FPA refused to release the names of 11 of those who dropped the suit, Craig Smith, a 20-year Metro art pro­fessor, agreed to talk about his frustration over the questionnaires.

Smith said he had been a plaintiff in the case since 1992 but quit when he real­ized the amount of research that would have to go into answering Wesoky's ques­tions.

"It had gotten to the point where it was daunting in terms of the paperwork I would have to do," Smith said. "It's sort of demoralizing to get involved as far as I was and then face a mountain of paper­work."

Pence said some of the questions in the interrogatory ask for a decade's worth of recollection.

For instance, one question asks pro­fessors to list the dates of every weekly Faculty Senate meeting they have attended since 1986 and the issues discussed at those meetings.

Pence said about half the FPA mem­bers have come to him with questions about how to approach the interrogatory.

W. Thomas Cook, 32-year Metro broadcasting professor and FPA member, said he expected some tough questioning

by the defendants' lawyers but was not tempted to drop the case.

"I halfway expected it for the sim­ple reason that I know how courts work,'' he said. "If you just roll over and play dead you've got a big problem."

Cook said he answered all the questions in about two and a half hours .

MR. ROGERS' DISTRICT: Republican Congressional Candidate Joe Rogers addresses a crowd Thursday on the Auraria campus.

Candidates woo Campus Matthew J. Lilley · The METROPOl..ITAN

Information about ballot issues facing Denver area voters and the candidates running for election were available on campus Oct. 24 - at least for those who bothered to stop.

Auraria Vote '96, a coalition of Metro, University of Colorado at Denver and Community College of Denver student governments and organizations sponsored The Election Fair on campus last week. The fair invited candidates running for state and federal offices in the Denver area and proponents and oppo­nents of various initiatives and referendums.

Not every issue was represented by both sides, though both were invited, and most .candidates did not show up. Some, how­ever, did send volunteers to push for them.

According to fair coordinator Jessie Bullock, one of the main objectives was to encourage students to vote, something history proves they rarely do.

"If students don' t have any information about the candidates there's no real reason for them to vote," said Andy Busch, a rep­resentative for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Wayne Allard.

"One the reason students don't vote is that they're not moti­vated to vote," said Joe Rogers, a Republican running for the con­gressional seat vacated by representative Patricia Schroeder. "I need to give people a reason to vote, that's why I'm here today."

Susan Liddle of the Colorado Legislative Council was there to hand out voter guides. "Our effort is to get as many veters as possible educated, and hopefully they will tum out," Liddle said.

Craig Silverman, independent Denver District Attorney can­didate, said he came because: "I wanted to reach a group of peo­ple that are tough to reach, the youth, the so-called 'Generation X.' It is nice to be back on a college campus. I'm 40 years old, and it's ... especially exciting to be on this college campus, right in the heart of Denver."

District Attorney incumbent Bill Ritter, a Democrat, said events such as the Election Fair are what democracy is all about.

"The voting decision is one of the most important decisions we have as citizens of this country, and anything we can do to increase the ability for an informed voter to make a responsible choice, we should do," Ritter said.

The League of Wom~n Voters were there encouraging women to vote, appropriately enough, and handing out voter guides. Rosario C. de Baca, who represented the League, said it is important for women to use their vote - a vote less than 100 years old in the United States.

"Women have struggled very hard to provide opportunities to young women of this generation," de Baca said. "We're look­ing to them as future leaders to continue this fight for women."

Kaplan touts 'rolling contracts' alternative Mitsuru Shimizu The METROPOl..ITAN

Metro needs another tenure option, "rolling contracts," not-tenured multi­year contracts, to provide the administra­tion with flexibility, said Metro President Sheila Kaplan.

The proposal came at an Oct. 24 Faculty Senate meeting with 65 mem­bers of the senate in the Tivoli.

She said Metro needs to adopt post­tenure review to say its faculty is exam­ining itself in some systematic way and

bility. Kaplan said it

was a mistake that the "Golden Parachute Law," limiting col­leges to offering two kinds of contracts -probationary and tenured positions -passed in 1993.

On the other hand, Kaplan said, "I just think that this is a force that's out of our

hands. We have got to, as an institution, come up with a position that recognizes political reality."

She said the Joint Budget Committee held a preliminary hearing on higher education three weeks ago, where the Colorado Commission on Higher Education submitted a report on tenure.

Responding to the report, two mem­bers of the committee, Tony Grampsas, R-Jefferson County, and David Owen, R-Weld County, made it clear that the issue of tenure review would be on the table, Kaplan said.

The CCHE report on tenure would be the baseline document for the legisla­ture to consider, she said.

The CCHE report had not been made public yet and should be made public in an week, said Kaplan's assis­tant, Gay Cook.

Susan Josepher, chair of the Art Department, said the adoption of rolling contracts and the changes of the review system would risk faculty's academic freedom by an increase of non-tenured faculty.

Metro's Handbook For Professional Personnel guarantees faculty freedom to write or speak as a citizen without a fear of an· institutional censorship or disci­pline, discuss academic subjects fully, engage in research and publish the result of research.

Josepher said the implementation of the rolling contracts was a "dangerous, devilish" idea.

Metro post-tenure review pitched KAPLAN from page 3

"I really have a problem with a 75-25 (percent) ratio of part-time to full-time faculty," Josepher said. The adoption of rolling contracts is a national trend; the next step is to abolish tenure, she said.

The legislature would have to make some changes to the "Golden Parachute Law" to admit the rolling contracts, said Eugene Saxe, president of the Faculty Senate.

Metro is the only one of all colleges in the state system that reviews its faculty every year, he said.

At Mesa State College, for example, faculty are not required to submit minor annual reports; instead they were fully reviewed every four years, calling it "post-tenure review," Saxe said.

"We are reviewed every year. But we don't call it 'post-tenure review,' so peo­ple say we don't have 'post-tenure review,"' he said.

People in business organizations who do not have protections like tenure on jobs thought that faculty in educational institutions are receiving special consid­eration, he said.

Furthennore, they felt that once fac­ulty gets tenure, they would not work as hard, he said.

"There is quite a difference between business and educational institutions," Saxe said.

"I'm not suggesting that," Kaplan said at the meeting: "rolling contracts at

Metro take a place on all tenure track con­tracts. I do think, however, there are some cases where that kind of flexibility would be an extraordinary help to us.

"I'm not saying that this will become a norm at Metro," she said.

"I'm not here, suggesting or arguing in favor of abolition of tenure," she said.

The current faculty review system defined by the handbook was not usable but cumbersome and confusing to faculty, she said.

However, colleges could not make changes on major pieces of the handbook without approval of the board of trustees, she said.

The legislature would decide how long the period of the rolling contracts will be, Saxe said.

"They (faculty on the rolling con­tracts) might have medical benefits and might have full-time work. The salary might be larger than what part-time salaries are," Saxe said. Currently, part­time faculty cannot have medical benefits, he said.

However, faculty on the rolling con­tracts could be dismissed without a reason when the contracts expired although tenured faculty have to be given a reason in the event of dismissal, Saxe said.

At the Tivoli meeting Kaplan also announced that Metro was currently searching for 40 new full-time faculty positions.

Colorado mocks the vote Henri Brickey The METROPOUTAN

"Clinton bas won the U.S. Presidency!" According to a student mock election, which has had results that are often very close to those of the national presidential elec­tion in November, Bill Clinton did win with 53 percent of the votes.

About 500 students crowded into Club America in the Tivoli Wednesday to cast their votes in the National Student/Parent Mock Election.

With only 44 percent of college-age voters casting ballots in the last presidential election, according to The UCLA Bruin, people are starting to try and make those numbers higher by educating America's youth on voting. Metro's political science faculty are among those people trying to make a difference.

The Metro Political Science Department served as election central for Colorado in the mock election. Political science students took votes by phone from approximately 170 teachers around the state. Following the election the votes were tallied along with the votes of about 500 students who voted at the Tivoli and sent to the CNN studios in Atlanta.

The nationwide results of the mock election were aired on CNN/C-Span II.

"I think these activities are intended to try and stim­ulate some interest, especially in youngsters, to start thinking about who you would vote for, for president, and why," Chair of Metro political science Norman Provizer said.

In _addition to casting their votes, students who attended the mock election listened to guest speakers address topics such as the parental rights amendment and issues of money and politics. Among the guests was Tom Strickland, U.S. Senate candidate.

But Provizer thinks some people are focusing too much on the results of the mock election and forgetting that the reason for it is to motivate youngsters to vote and continue to vote when they become adults.

''They (mock elections) have been accurate, and it makes sense," Provizer said, adding that many children listen to what their parents say and it affects their opin­ions, therefor reflecting on the outcome of the November election.

"But I'd be the last person to sit here and say, 'Oh yeah, this is it. We don't have to bother holding the vote next week, it's history."

The results were: Bill Clinton with about 12,700 votes, Bob Dole with 7,300 supporters and Ross Perot with about 2,200.

New parking garage in works Costof consuucffon estimate: over $10 million

has held an estimated 3 million cars since then.

Those two projects would cost about $2 million, which would come from the $3 million that parking has in reserve.

Henri Brickey The METROPOLITAN

Within the next three to five years detailed discussion will begin on a new parking garage being built on campus. But, with new parking comes a raise in student parking costs, which totaled $4.5 million last year.

One reason Auraria will need a new parking facility so soon is the proposed perfonning arts building, which will be constructed on what is now Lot G, Gallagher said. He also anticipates the possibility of student growth in the future and said it is better to prepare for that growth now rather than when a parking crisis occurs.

"My customers are in a hurry and they like convenience. We must consider what the customers want and what the cus­tomers are willing to pay for," Gallagher said.

Last year, students paid $4.5 million for parking. But, within the next few years, those numbers will run higher.

A minimum of $10 million would be spent to make a new indoor parking com­plex, Assistant Division Director of Parking Mark Gallagher said. The current indoor lot opened in January of 1991 and

An additional plan to add parking in Lot F near the South Classroom is current­ly under discussion. There is a large demand for short-term parking in the area. 'Additional meter parking could be avail­able along with some additional pennit spaces as soon as next fall.

"We haven't rai~ed prices since 1990," Gallagher said, but added that the possibility of a new garage going up will result in parking prices going up.

Another element that could reduce the number of parking spaces is the proposed

8 Th< METROPOLITAN NOVEMBER 1, 19% OPINION

Evangelism, money and voting The cliche for money that I am thinking about at

the moment is "big money" but, of course, it is not big at all. It is small and green and contains all types of iconography that most people don't understand. It also has printed upon it the words "In God we trust." Someone once told me that they found the phrase insulting, particularly on the dollar. I don't find it insulting; I find it quite proper. Christianity is power­ful because of money. We should keep that phrase as it is and where it is; it belongs on money. The fact that Christianity has turned from a small rebellion led by the teachings of peace and humility to an incorporated mass of wealth and power should be remembered. There is no humility in contemporary Christianity; there is merely sin-mongering and mis­sionaries. We are a society who worship the pain and defeat of others. For in others' times of weak­ness, we can overpower them with our charm. We triumph in sin and search for dirt. "Did you know that Clinton had an affair?" "Well, I learned all about it from that fascinating videotape I bought." I can hear the sinister laughter whispering from between the too-white teeth of the preacher's wife. As she puts her hand up to her face to quiet herself, she begins to talk of her plans to join her husband in Africa with the other missionaries. And with a sharp whelp and giggle proclaims, "It's so dirty down there!"

When I have handled sums of money, my hands have always become dirty.

Dirty money and the evangelical Christians make their way around the world in multi-billion dol­lar crusades to change the minds of people every­where. The Denver Post ran a three-page article describing the hardships these humble people of God are experiencing around the world. Proselytizing is illegal in most of the eastern block of Europe, but God's warriors are willing to break the law in order to reach those poor soul-less, post­communist peoples. The Cold War continues throughout the world. Its headquarters have merely moved from Washington to Colorado Springs. All good Christian soldiers are uniting to cleanse the world of its iniquities and they have the money to do it. With bibles securely fastened to their hips and a grotesque use of memorized quotes, these folks are apt to confuse, bribe and bully their way right into your lives, like it or not.

There is no arguing with an evangelical: you must accept what is said or be damned to hell and just watch yourselves because if their damnation does not scare the Jesus into you, they just might use force. Actually, I take that back. The Jesus they are going to force into your lives is a commercial venture that will drive the spirituality from you and make you obey "the word." This is a dark Jesus; he is to be worshiped as something to utilize. Utility is key for the struggle of power. Imagine what an over­powering experience it must be for a poverty strick­en town to be invaded by God's children. Remember, these are America's God's children­their God is a capitalist. These people have brought with them medicine, food, books, building tools, etc. and start cleaning up the village, medicating the children, setting up schools, etc. There is only one catch, though. You must begin going to bible study. The evangelists' claim is that the people are literally dying for God's presence in their lives. The actuality

R A N T Gary

Noms

is that who wouldn't be amazed by the power of a few million cords of paper with the face of George Washington on them. Anyway, if the people were uninterested in God or rebelled against the mission­aries, then they would leave and the situation would return to poverty and hunger. Or they stay. "Well, you can't expect us to leave these people in dark­ness?" The missionary compound is set up and in order to be fed and medicated and have access to school, then God must be worshiped. How can you justify forcing people to worship a God who continu­ally is given a new face with the rising powers of the world?

I seem to remember something about rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's . . . Why someone would want to have the government involved with their religion is beyond me. The government is a machine that runs itself through its laws and depends upon the people to obey those laws, oth­erwise the government would cease to be. This is quite like the fundamentalists' God. The words, the law and the book are much more important than the human and the God. I believe that what truly scares these people about the state of affairs within the world is that many more people are realizing that this stale religion has nothing of God to offer. We are beginning not to listen to the words any longer. They are afraid that their God is dying. He is.

These pages have provided me with the oppor­tunity to write about issues that I find important. For when I leave my house in the morning and step out into the public realm, the way I act and things I see and the people I meet are no longer mere fancies. I take part in society through use of its schools, libraries, hospitals, grocery stores, movie houses, transportation services, etc. Just as all of you read­ing this do, I interact with society. I find myself com­pelled to write that I have a responsibility to ensure that my best interests are sought after. I have a responsibility to ensure that my neighbor's interests are sought after as well. We all want the same things in different ways. This is why your voices need to be heard. VOTE!

I am as aware as most of you are (or should be) that voting is not a sound way to improve things in our world. But it is a first step in realizing your responsibility to others in your community. If you feel that you have no responsibilities other than to yourself, then I ask of you one day out your life. Attempt to live without using anything other than those things that solely belong to you. Use nothing

that belongs to the taxpayers. I doubt you could get very far down the street, because you would imme­diately realize that the street wasn't yours but the peoples'. And I would dare say that you have not stitched your own clothing. Look at yourself; you are now naked in the middle of the street with nowhere to go, shivering Jike a scared dog because you are completely on your own. How could we live without the work of others? Maybe a little respect is due. For the first time in your life say, "Thank You." The fact is that you live in a state of comfort, at whatever level, because of others. Even the most capitalistic of entrepreneurs is providing a service for others.

Please wake up, people. Your caring government is doing a fine job dis­

tracting you from yourself. How free are you, really? Realize that you are bound to your community of humans and that we need each other. As different as we are, we need to support the rights of the peo­ple on election day. VOTE! Speak out about what you believe, about what you don't. It is your right.

This school enjoys your silence; the city wor­ships your ignorance; the state wants you to trust it; the country is getting away with murder.

We are lulled into a state of apathy through the democratic process because it makes us feel safe. But we are not in control of anything. This govern­ment has become so distant from its people that from afar it looks just as it should, but we cannot see the details any longer. Don't blame the politicians, they know nothing of what is going on. Blame your­self. I blame myself.

We live in a society of distractions. What of real political importance has occurred on this campus recently. Nothing. We were distracted by Jesse Jackson and Oliver North. Two men who have a way with words that hypnotize people and make them feel emotionally charged for a few hours. They spoke about some rights. "You should have these rights!" "We have this right!" "We have that right!" "This right is abused!" A lot of rights, and, curiously, no left. The school spent somewhere around $30,000 to have these men speak. Was it as good for you as for me?

Mere distraction. Lots of talk, no action. But what should we expect? Only fifty percent of

registered voters tend to vote. That makes half of us liars. I can assure you the half that votes consis­tently sponsors the concerns of the upper class. For the bourgeois in America is lazy, and the working class is frightened into submission. We must work on our ability to converse with one another. We must not be afraid and act emotionally every time we become offended by what a person says. We should speak out about the things we want from life and work together to take the best from society that it can provide.

Vote in your own best interest "If you think democracy works in

America, then you're a sucker," anar­chists say. Perhaps, but this govern­ment is all we have for now. And if I don't do my little part to participate in the process then how can I complain about it? I want to be able to call a leg­islator up and tell him or her, "I voted for you because you said you wouldn't support cuts in federally-funded stu­dent loans."

Besides, me thumbing my nose at government, politicians and elections does me no good. I still live here and suffer the consequences of the actions of the local, state and national government whether I vote or not, right? So I might as well attempt to make my vote an informed one.

It is the responsibility of those who live in America to exercise their freedoms. For those of you who forgot that is why this country was formed in the first plar.e - freedom of govern­ment, no taxation without representa­tion.'

Come Tuesday, I know there will not be people lined up around the block to vote at precincts, not because we have the convenience of voting weeks prior to the actual elec­tion day. But because no one cares. In less fortunate countries people travel miles to cast their vote, even at risk to

T H I N K Donna

their lives or families. Sure, Americans do not have that problem today, but do you trust your govern­ment so much that you need not choose your own leaders?

As Americans we have the privi­lege and freedom to care or not to care. With all of our time being con­sumed by television, we cannot trou­ble ourselves to find out about issues and how the people running stand on important issues. But while watching television I saw that a student had protested against this government and it viewed his protest as an attempt to overthrow it.

Wang Dan, a student leader in the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in China, protested against his govern­ment because he wanted democracy.

LI : I ITRS

SGA not up to par Dear Editor, Did you know that at the beginning of the fall semester, student clubs

hold elections for president, vp, secretary and treasurer, and provide that information to the Student Club Coordinator in Student Activities? This is to meet the Student Organization Registration Policy, which is one of the requirements for student clubs to be recognized. No sooner did clubs pro­vide those names when many received a visit or phone call from the Student Club Coordinator, informing them that particular officers did not meet the grade requirements. Now, I can understand the justification for this rule, considering the maintenance and coordinating of a club takes a lot of work and responsibility, not to mention time. The main responsibili­ty of students is to complete their education, period! As an active club leader myself, I have lost sight of that goal and mixed up my priorities, putting in more time as a leader instead of a student. The GPA require­ment is key to being a leader on campus. Maintaining a 2.0 shows one can handle school, maybe work, kids, family or extra-curricular activities and still be a role model for the leaders that follow.

I could be wrong, but one would think similar GPA requirements would also be placed on those running or representing Student Government, as well as other qualifications. After all, they are supposed· to represent the entire student body at MSCD. That's a large task! Then, why is it that dur­ing the induction, rumors where getting passed around that some students on Student Government had a low GPA? Even today, it is known that at least three members do NOT meet the requirements as set by the Student Government Assembly Constitution. Did you know more than two months into the Fall semester these three members are still serving????

This is ridiculous!!!! There are only seven weeks left in the Fall semes­ter. What is taking the system so long???

These individuals need to be forced to resign, for they do not repre­sent the average student. It's time to have real students be our voice again.

Sincerely concerned, Marfa Corral

Metro student

Recently he was charged with plotting to overthrow the government. This charge could result in 11 year jail term. CNN reported that his father said everything his son did was within Chinese law. But his government does not see it that way.

In this country students no longer have to fight for the right to vote. Students in Tiananmen Square died while fighting for what Americans take for granted.

Complaining won't get students motivated enough to get out and vote. But when I am left there scratching my head over a cut in federally fund­ed student loans, I'll think back and consider who it was that I voted for to represent my interests. If you did not vote, you should have thought twice about not spending two minutes in the voting booth or not sending in a absentee ballot. If you were too busy too bad. You can only blame yourself.

If you are interested in getting a last minute look at who is running and what they stand for then check out the Denver Post's collection of political hotlinks at www.denverpost.com/pri­mary/candidat.htm.

If you don't do anything do you have a right to complain? Nope.

ZIP 802 art show delivering again M. St.Germain The METRorourAN

T he Denver Zip 802 exhibition is once again becoming an annuaJ high1ight of the Denver art scene. This popular show had become

inactive for almost a decade, until its strong revival in 1995.

AU artists submitting work had to meet two requirements: that their home or work address contains the 802 prefix zip code and that their originaJ works were completed within the past two years.

Now in its second year, this diverse exhibition was juried solely by Dr. DonaJd Kuspit, a contributing editor for Artforum magazine, and internationa11y distin­guished art critic and historian. Kuspit reviewed 966 entries from 89 Denver

artists. From this bu1k of entries he seJect­ed 46 works from 39 artists. The works are being simu1taneous1y dispJayed at the Emmanue1 Gallery on the Auraria campus, and at the Shwayder Art Building on the University of Denver's campus.

Kuspit based his selections on his con­cept of the "authentic identity" reflected in the work of art.

Preferring works "that seem to disrupt style, that don't belong to any clear cut stylistic category or code," Kuspit deJivers a show that occasionally fluctuates in its consistency, but overaU is a positive repre­sentation of Denver's most taJented artists. Certain works do seem out of their league in comparison to others. This can be dis­tracting.

Carol Ke1ler, curator of the Emmanuel GaJlery, remarked, "each piece does have

merit, and sometimes it's hard to compare when a show has such a wide range of work, such a variety of levels in competency and complexity."

Generally pleased with the selections, she says, "Kuspit is an authority on rec­ognizing that obsessive quality in an artist that makes for good art, impacting art - it con­nects with the viewer."

The opening receptions were well attended, with enthusiastic criticaJ discourse between the pub1ic and the artists.

SmaJl groups lingered around some popular works, such as Erick- C. Johnson's

sculpture, You'll Poke Your Eye Out. This flowing piece displayed Johnson's skill at incor­porating strong Jinear movement, pleasing structuraJ baJance, and finely finished materi­als, resulting in a work that is visua11y active and aestheticaUy suc­

Denver professor Lorre Hoffman is another well-known Denver artist with two pieces in the show. Her scu1pture, Schoolhouse, is an amus­ing piece, a small house-shaped structure constructed from the top of an old school desk, complete with the typicaJ high-school scrib­bles and graffiti.

Another work, Catharsis con­sisted of a precisely burned boat oar, contained within a case of glass and maple. A smooth green river rock, in its own case, was presented next to the oar. It seemed to signify a pre­carious journey, a faulty mode of travel.

Metro senior Evan Colbert is the only Metro student to be accept­ed to the show. His lithograph, bac­teriophage T4 descending, is an abstract piece utilizing the regular, geometricaJ shapes of microscopic life. The subtly-colored forms are hugely enlarged, quietly floating within a dark green field. There is a pervading sense of calm in this work, a glimpse into an aJien world.

CoJbert was "pleasantly sur­prised and honored" to have one of his entries accepted.

"This is an important show. It could eventuaUy be recognized on a nationaJ level," due to Kuspit's

influence on the national art scene, Colbert said.

Kuspit felt Colbert's work displayed "an unconscious ... sensitivity to contrasts or nuances of matter," very supportive words from a most important expert.

Colbert is pleased with the exposure that Zip 802 has brought him, remarking that "the more recognition you can get, the better."

This is a qua1ity show that deserves close attention. The works will be on dis­play at both ga1leries through November 21. For more information contact the Emmanuel Gallery at 556-8337, and DU's gallery at 871-2846.

The Pirate Contemporary Art Oasis is currently showing their Salon de Refuse in the main gallery. This exhibit is displaying works that were not accepted to Denver Zip 802. For more information, call 458-6058.

This proposed amenament would limit future citizen initiatives to 100 words, strike the fiscal notes and sum­maries that are required on them now, open all levels of government to initia­tives, and ease the restrictions on who can do the actual petitioning.

It would also limit the number of bills on which the legislature can place a safety clause to nine. That would allow citizens to challenge laws passed by the government, which a safety clause pre­vents.

"An active initiative policy shifts the power away from a limited number of elites to the people," Polhill says.

Opponents believe that a representa­tive government is most efficient when elected officials are responsible for creat­ing laws and believe that initiatives mud­dle the constitution.

"The same people who complain the government is ineffective and inefficient want to stall the working of it with this proposal," says Lois Court, director of Balance Colorado, a group that would like to strengthen representative democ­racy.

for both candidates. He says he wants to renew the war on drugs and make it one of the top priorities. He plans to increase fed­eral Jaw enforcement efforts against drug dealers and to educate children about the dangers of drugs.

Crime is a very serious issue for both candidates as well. Dole supports adult treatment for juveniles that commit violent crimes, no automatic release for juveniles on their 18th or 20th birthdays and pre­serving the records of offenders for the future. Dole will make more juveniles serve adult time for adult crimes.

In a recent rally at the Colorado Convention Center Dole discussed the issue of drugs and crime. He believes that education is the "answer to ending drugs and crime."

Dole is pro-life in the abortion issue. He does not want federal funds to be used for abortion or abortion-related services. He supports funding in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother. He seeks an amendment to limit abortions.

Dole views the environment as a seri­ous issue facing the world. Dole feels eco­nomic growth and the environment should work together and not against each other.

Dole proposed an "Education Consumer's Warranty" which aims to ensure certain items for schools in the future. This list includes making schools safer, eliminating federal red tape to give schools more freedom to innovate and the right to choose any school that will suit the needs of the child. Dole wants to create opportunities for low-income families.

Mile High Brewery giving back Internships, recycling programs a way to thank community, help students Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

G eneral Manager John Carter of the Mile High Brewery believes that one of the best ways for a business to have a good rela­

tionship with the community is to give back.

The two-year-old brewery has done so by starting a recycling program that pays a nickel for each bottle brought in by a con­sumer. For each bottle brought in, Mile High donates an additional nickel to the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado.

breweries in the nation that also share the same building with a winery, Columbine Cellars. Also on-site is The Pub at Timberline, which was added this July. The interior of the pub is modeled like a log cabin, but in the back is a 35,000-bar­rel capacity brewery.

1995 Metro graduate Traye Veillon works as the lead assistant brewer at Mile High. He says that because he has worked in the brewing industry much of his life, he does not know if he appreciates it as much as he would have if he had worked other jobs. Vei11on says 80 percent of the job is sanitation. The job does have its perks -like creating your own beer, he says.

Veillon works with lead brewer Dr.

Another way the brewery intends on giving back to the community is to offer college students from local campuses an internship. The intern would work with the Mile High Brewery Company and its youthful staff to help market their Timberline Ales in the increasingly com­petitive microbrewery market.

Carter says the "Brewery

Carter is also the vice president of the company that owns Mile High Brewery, one of five that the company owns in the Unites States. Carter says that not only has he benefited from his own hard work but

Americans failing at fighting fat Health specialists say pills and diets not helping vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain

Deborah Jaehning The METROPOLITAN

D espite their endless quest to find a way to be thinner, Americans are getting fatter.

That was the finding at a conference held by the North American Association for the Study

of Obesity, held in Breckenridge on Oct. 14. Tim Beyers, a professor of preventative medicine at

the University of Colorado Health Sciences center, says figures from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey show an increase in the trends of lev­els of body fat.

"In fact, those trends are accelerating," he says. Pills and diets are not helping to break the vicious

cycle of weight loss and weight gain. "Health specialists agree that diet mentality sets an

individual up for failure," says Linda Wilkins-Pierce, behavioral health counselor at Metro's student health cen­ter. SBe heads a program called the Successful Weight Loss Support Group on campus.

Weight is not the issue. The key to successful weight loss begins internally.

"It is based on motivation," says Wilkins-Pierce, adding that success is calculated by carefully evaluating an individual's motive, be it temporarily targeting a small­er dress size for a wedding day or permanently changing a lifestyle.

Restoring confidence in self-control and shifting from "body hate to body love" also play major roles in

,'

achieving fitness and weight loss, Wilkins-Pierce says.

"If people incorporate fitness on their own by watching themselves become stronger, feeling more energy, then the weight takes care of itself," she says.

After achieving a weight goal, many indi­viduals find maintenance a challenge. A key to maintaining a desired weight is distin­guishing lapses from relapses. Lapses offer opportunities to practice needed recovery skills.

"Understanding they are part of suc­cess, not of failure, is the key to learning about lifestyle changes," Wilkins-Pierce says.

Incorporating these concepts through a group becomes an integral part to achieving weight loss .

"Groups take on a life of their own," Wilkins-Pierce says. "When people take on a weight-loss program they don't get support, they get advice. This is not what happens with this group."

The group meets every Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. at 1020 Ninth Street Park until Nov. 26 and will reconvene spring semester.Individual weight loss counseling and help for eating disorders is also available. Call 556-2525 for information.

Macabre characters come to life in club Roxanne King The METROPOLITAN

H alloween may be over, but vampires are still lurking about. There is even one on Metro's

campus. He attends classes as Jim Tiemann, a junior in Metro's aerospace technology program.

Weekend evenings, he is the "Prince of Denver" in the Camarilla, a fast grow­ing vampire role-playing organization headquartered in Salt Lake City.

"The Camarilla are not a bunch of freaks or Satanists," Tiemann says. "It's a group of really good people who like the romantic, tragic figure of the vampire. It's all about having fun. We're interested in making our own fiction using the vampire genre."

According to club folklore published by White Wolf Game Studio, the Camarilla gets its name from the small rooms that vampires, witches and war­locks hid out in during the Spanish Inquisition.

Tiemann says club members, which generally belong to the twenty-something crowd, create a character and attend three­hour games held in homes, parks or meet-

"The Camarilla are not a bunch of freaks

or Satanists. It's ... · people who like the

romantic, tragic figure of the vampire."

- Jim Tiemann "Prince of Denver"

ing halls where they act out a story line set into play by a storyteller.

"It's up to the players to follow the story line or not," he said. •

In addition to vampires, other charac­ters include werewolves, witches, war­locks and ghouls. Character types are highly organized and belong to one of ten different clans, each of which has their own set of powers. Powers include super strength or speed and the ability to take on other forms.

on campus. Tiemann attributes this to Metro being a commuter school.

Surprisingly, blood drinking - real and imaginary - is not allowed or talked about at games.

"One of the reasons we have a sanc­tioning body is to keep the freaks out," Tiemann said. "It's just a game - a com­mon interest club."

Tiemann said vampire fans are similar to science-fiction fans, like Trekkies. He said, "the only difference is there are more

of them." The allure of the game for Tiemann is

the vampire. "The vampire is the ultimate tragic

hero," he said. "Damned by the powers that be not to die and move on in the full circle of life."

Tiemann said local games are attend­ed by 10-20 people. He also attends games in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.

Women's soccer beats No. 1 Regis Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

Closing out the home season, the women's soccer team shut down regional powerhouse Regis University last Thursday, 3-0, then demolished Colorado Christian University by the same margin two days later.

Metro improved to 7-3 (10-7 overall) in the conference, only one game behind first place Regis (8-2, 13-4-1 overall).

The women did everything right in their continuing quest for a post-season berth when they beat the Regis team ranked J 5th in the nation and first in the region. Until being humbled, Regis had won nine straight games.

"It feels great," midfielder Kathy Moen said. "We're going out with a big bang!"

Head coach Ed Montojo, equally pleased! said, "They played 90 minutes of hard soccer today."

Scoring for Metro were forward Ariana O'Neill, Moen and defender A.I. Macintosh, who scored her first goal of the season in her third game back from an ankle injury that sidelined her for seven games.

Ariana O'Neill, who called her shot "lucky," watched from the bench as Regis pummeled Metro 0-4 the first time the teams met. O'Neill, who scuttled any dis­cussion about her return helping the team this time, said, "No, it was team spirit."

Metro outshot Regis 9-5 and goalkeep­er Chellie McCourt, who earned saves five and six last week. finished with two saves.

"The only things I had to make saves on were the little deflections," Mccourt said. "My defense deserves the shutout -their name should be on the shutout. They did great."

A lack of injuries also helped the team. "It feels great when were at full strength, and we can take it to them," Montojo said.

Christian fell victim next to the rolling Roadrunner squad in a 3-0 second-half bloodletting done with surgical precision in a six-minute span.

Wise broke the 0-0 tie at the 63:53 mark when she headed a ball, crossed by forward Alissa Allen, into the net.

Montojo, who called the header a sur­prise, said, "Although she's the tallest play-

Men's playoff hopes augmented by weekend wins Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The men's soccer team won two crit­ical road games last weekend, squelching the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs 2-0 and getting past Port Lewis College 4-3 in overtime.

The victories, while not securing a spot in the conference tournament, bode well for the Roadrunners' playoff hopes.

With everybody in the conference, except Regis University, beating each other up, Metro is in second place with a 5-5-1 conference record (7-10-1 overall).

The top four teams in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference advance to the playoffs. However, only two points separate Metro from fifth place.

The chance to clinch a playoff spot will come Tuesday, if Metro beats or ties the Colorado School of Mines.

"It comes down to us playing for us," head coach Brian Crookham said. Metro played the roll of the spoiler last season, keeping Mines from advancing. Mines will be motivated to play, Crookham said.

Freshman Scott Gardner, playing in the midfield, headed in the first and

deciding goal off of a Mazen Kayali pass five minutes into the game against Colorado Springs.

Defender Chris Johnson nailed the final score from a penalty kick at the 73:46 mark.

Metro took only 10 shots, but made them count. Colorado Springs failed to convert any of their 14 shots against the Metro defense and against goalkeeper Stephen Babby, who tallied his third shutout of the season.

Against Fort Lewis, Metro wasted a 3-1 lead after allowing Fort Lewis to score with 15 minutes remaining and

again three minutes later. The tying goal came off a free kick that Babby lost in the mud.

In the second overtime period Johnson, who leads the team in scoring, made his second goal of the game and his ninth for the season. Johnson's perfor­mance earned him conference offensive player of the week honors.

Forward Jared Zanon scored Metro's other two goals of the contest. Cody Cobb, forward, assisted each scorer twice and Mazen Kayali assisted Zanon once.

Metro was again outshot, 17-18, but Babby finished with 15 saves.

20 The METROPOLITAN NOVEMBER 1, 1996

V-ball plays best of season vs. Kearney Despite 1-3 loss to Nebraska-Kearney, 'Runners offense best all year'

Chris A. Petersen The METROPOLITAN

It was powderpuff and powerhouse opponents for the Metro women's volleyball team last weekend as they faced last-placed Fort Hayes State and con­ference leader University of Nebraska-Kearney.

Fort Hayes brought their pitiful 0-19 record to Metro with what appeared to be the firm intention of not earning the first win of their season. Metro, how­ever, showed up intent on winning, as they geared up for their upcoming match with Kearney.

In what was possibly the quickest match of the year for the 'Runners, Metro handed Fort Hayes loss number 20 in a three-game sweep during which the 'Runners muffled the Tigers' growl to a mere whim­per.

In the first game of the match Metro tallied a quick seven points before allowing Hayes to score their first. The 'Runners continued to dominate Fort Hayes, allowing them to score a scant four points, most of which came near the end of the game, before finally finishing them off. Chalk up game one for Metro 15-4.

The 'Runners continued to hammer Fort Hayes in game two, taking them with another 15-4 score.

The third game was another easy win for Metro as Fort Hayes continued their uninspired play and the 'Runners trounced them with a match-winning score of 15-4. Judy Glassman led the 'Runners' aggressive attack with 13 kills, followed by Shannon Ortell and Stacey Hoyt, who each had nine.

The Lopers visited Metro with their undefeated conference record, an impressive 19-3 overall record, and every intention of recording their 20th RMAC victory.

Metro faltered some in game one, but the team that had dominated Fort Hayes the previous night suddenly showed its face and decided to make it a fight. The 'Runners, plagued by serving errors and a slow start, gave up game one 3-15. Despite the score, the momentum Metro started to gain in game one continued to build in game two.

The 'Runners gave up a quick five points, but the Lopers' lead was short-lived. Powered by strong defensive play from the whole team, which racked up 123 total digs, 24 of them coming from Hoyt, and some good passing, Metro quickly tied the game at five, then moved ahead with authority, taking the lead 10-5. In spite of some strong play by Metro, the powerful Lopers, not folding under pressure, showed why they are number one and tied the game again at 11, eventually winning 15-11 when they stopped an attempted attack by Hoyt.

Undaunted by their two-game deficit and facing a second possible sweep this season by the Lopers, an inspired Metro team came out and with the same strong defense and aggressive play from the first two games earned their first well-deserved victory of the match, decisively overtaking Nebraska 15-8.

The win gave Metro confidence and momen­tum going into Saturday's match against Nebraska­Kearney, who are number one in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

"I feel very confident going into our game against Kearney," coach Joan McDermott said after the Fort Hayes blowout. "We're playing very good and are at home, which is an advantage."

The 'Runners fought hard and rose to the chal­lenge with some impressive play, tallying 71 total kills, three more than Kearney, with 20 from Hoyt, 16 from Ortell and another 14 from Glassman. The 'Runners finally gave in to the Lopers in game four 9-15. Coach McDermott, despite losing, was very happy with the way the team played and feels confi­dent about the remaining three matches, two of which will be at home.

"If we play as well as we did this weekend, I'm confident that we will win the remaining games this season," McDermott said.

It was a brutal 40 de~ outside when the Metro rugby team took aim at the University of Northern Colorado, and after the snow was plowed to reveal 5-yard increments, Metro worked the bitter cold to its advantage. UNC surrendered on that field, 32-17.

The match began amid soft chunks of snow which wreaked havoc on footing. These two teams had met before, and UNC had come to settle a score - one motivated by a 3-36 loss to Metro last month. However, the Metro club shattered UNC's visions of carrying home a win with the first try of the match, scored inside the first minute of play. Jade Opfer set the play in motion with a gritty push on goal, but he lost it in the shuffle ofUNC's defense. The ball fell loose only long enough for Jake Stagner to come from the outside, snatch it and pass off to Leif Gibson, who ran it in. The UNC team was only stunned for a moment and attempted a push into their own territory with an array of creative plays. They tried faking left and right and running circles around the Metro club, but the Metro defense would have none of that and shut them down with good old-fashioned, hard tackling.

The last try for the Greeley club came with a wide open 50-yard drive on the right side, with Metro barking at the heals of the quick­lime runner.

However, Metro sent UNC home with a sound spanking and are preparing for tourna­ment play this weekend.

Gibson commented on his score and said that the play was very strong against UNC.

''I was very fired up today. Their backline was very unorganized. They were playing more of a touch game," he said. "UNC and Metro were one and two in the division and this just proved to us, psychologically, that we can win."

Still, both teams experienced a dangerous lack of discipline, coach Howard Kent said, when an actual fistfight erupted in the first half, resulting in the expulsion of Pohpan from the match, though he had nothing to do with the conflict He was later invited back into the
