Community College of Denver student newspaper loses editor, stops publishing for second time By Perry Swanson The Melropoluan

The Community News died when its editor resigned Nov. 12, citing the stress of the job and an uncooperative staff as the reasons for his departure. It marks the second time this year the paper has folded.

Dennis Archuletta quit less than a month after the Community College of Denver student newspaper put out its only issue since spring semester. Controversy has plagued the newspaper for the last 2 years, mostly because of objections to the paper's content.

A memo taped to the door of the newspaper office in the Tivoli cited Archuletta's resignation and said that as of Nov. 12, "the Community News is no longer operational."

Archuletta explained his resignation by listing his complaints against staff members at the paper and others involved with its operation. He said the job demanded too much and paid too little for him to continue.

One complaint topping Archuletta's beef list was a conflict with Felicia Sykes, director of Student Activities at CCD, because he said she had the locks on the office door changed Nov. 7 without noti­fying him. Two days later, Archuletta said he was able to get into the office. Then he was confronted by Auraria Campus Police, who, he said, threatened to charge him with trespassing.

Campus police said it has no record of the incident. Sykes confirmed that she had the locks changed but wouldn't com-

ment further. Archuletta also said someone is try­

ing lo frame him for the theft of a laptop computer and the forgery of a purchase order asking for the product.

He said someone used his name to sign a bogus order for an Apple laptop computer from a vendor called Mac Warehouse.

All transactions for schools at Auraria go through a purchasing office. Roberta Miiller, who supervises the Auraria purchasing depart!lJent, said she has no knowledge of the incident. A ven­dor could be fooled by a fake purchase order, she said.

Officials at the Denver Police Department confirmed the incident is under investigation.

Archuletta said he's had lo deal with one crisis after another with only minimal support from others at the college.

'Tm just not paid enough to deal with this crap," he said.

But even with Archuletta's com­plaints, Sykes said he could have been removed anyway, because he didn't meet job requirements set by CCD's Board of Publications.

Editors of the paper are required to take certain courses at the college, a min­imum number of credit hours and main­tain a minimum grade point average. Sykes wouldn't say which of those requirements Archuletta failed to meet.

"There were personnel issues, there were security issues, there is a criminal investigation," she said.

When the band Mary Madness performed on campus Nov. 5, it rocked the student union and racked the nerves of many people who work and own businesses in the building.

Metro Student Activities sponsored the band as part of its Gig Series. Every Wednesday from 1 I :30 a.m. until I :30 p.m., various musicians and bands are invited to provide lunchtime tunes on the Tivoli's first floor, next to the Food Court.

But not everyone likes the bands. One detractor is Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen, Metro's dean of Student Life, whose office is on the third floor in the Tivoli.

"It was so loud that it ceased to be music to me and turned into noise," Ortega-Ericksen said of Mary Madness.

Student Activities Programmer and Gig Series organiz­er Richard Alexis Smith said he will not compromise with critics who resent the volume level and genre of the musi­cians.

"I will change absolutely nothing, and I would tell those people who complained to get used to the idea," Smith said. "The Gig Series is going Lo happen one day a week, and if' you don't like it, then you need to take walk.

Ex-Metro student is burglary suspect in police shootout By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

A former Metro student could face charges of . second-degree burglary in connection with the shoot­out Nov. 13 that left dead Denver police officer Bruce VanderJagt and the man who police think shot the officer.

Demetria Soriano, the student, attended classes at Metro during the spring semester. Soriano, 22, was unavailable for comment on the case, but her attorney, James Dodd, said he expects an investiga­tion will clear her.

"Given the actual facts of what my client knew and all the rest, she'll ultimately be exonerated," Dodd said.

Soriano's family posted a $10,000 bond and she was released from police custody Nov. 14.

"People just have lo get used lo the idea of il happening, period."

Dennis Bryan, the Tivoli's program and conference manager, said the Tivoli doesn't have a formal policy for sound levels and several people working in nearby business­es and student lounges have complained about the noise level of Gig Series bands.

Press reports said Soriano went to Pine, Colo., on Nov. 12 to pick up the belongings of another sus­pect, Lisa Auman. They brought along two 111en, Dion Gerze and Matthaeus Jaehnig. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department investigated a call reporting a burglary that afternoon. Officers from that department and Denver's ended up chasing two of the suspected burglars up U.S. Highway 285 and into the apartment complex at 3323 S. Monaco Parkway, where Soriano lives.

Soriano was reported to have fled with Gerze toward Colorado Springs. Al the apartment complex, police entered a stand-off with Jaehnig, which result­ed in the shooting death of Vanderjagt.

AIDS quilt holds special Ineaning for Metro einployee Memorial comes to Auraria this month; panel of quilt will honor 1980 Metro graduate B Deborah'Wiig ~Metropolitan

The AIDS Memorial Quilt, which will be exhibited on the Auraria Campus next week, has special meaning to a Metro employee who lost her son, a Metro grad­uate, to AlDS.

Ruth Calderon, who works in Metro Accounting Services, is looking forward to seeing the panel created in her son's mem­ory by his family and friends.

Her son, Tim Calderon, was a 1980 Metro journalism graduate who worked at the Auraria Child Care Center and the campus bookstore. He died of AIDS-relat­ed complications on Aug. 27, 1991. He was 34.

The second oldest of seven children, Tim was the first to graduate from college, but not the last. He lived to see his mother graduate with a degree in accounting just before he died.

Ruth said doctors tried several treat­ments, but nothing slowed the progression of his illness.

"He was in a lot of pain, but he tried to make each day count, tried not to dwell on anger," Ruth said. "He loved to garden,

and together we planted the flowers that were in full bloom when he died.

"His illness brought the family closer. His sisters took turns taking him to (doctor appointments) and caring for him. And he had a very supportive group of friends and co-workers from his job at AT&T. They would take him to the zoo and the movies and bring him food. He was alert to the end, until he went into a coma and then was gone."

Ruth said Tim's friends and family members spent many weekends creating a panel in his honor for the NAMES Project­AlDS Memorial Quilt.

The exhibit is sponsored by the newly formed Colorado chapter of the NAMES Project in collaboration with the colleges at Auraria.

It will open Nov. 30, with a Commemorative Observance and Candlelight Procession at 5 p.m. at St. Elizabeth's Church on the Auraria Campus.

Opening Ceremonies will follow at 6: 15 p.m. at the Auraria Events Center.

Students of instructor Julie Mower, who teaches a Metro nursing class about AIDS, also created one of the panels. It

was dedicated to a high school teacher who taught one of Mower's students.

"Every time it is displayed, it makes people feel vulnerable," said Billi Mavromatis, a coordinator of the project. "You see yourself represented there, when you see the birthdates and death dates, the

moms and the chil­dren, the loss."

Mavromatis said people at the NAMES Project have spent a year to bring the display to Denver. The exhibit is only a small repre-

Tlm Calderon sentation of the entire project, which consists of 43,000

individual panels honoring people who have died from AIDS. If the all the panels were sewn together, the quilt would cover 16 football fields.

The Denver display has almost 1,000 panels. The panels are 3 by 6 feet. Eight panels make a block, wh~ch is J 2 feet by I 2 feet Jong, and each block represents people from the same geographic area.

The NAMES quilt project began in

1987 when the first 3-by-6 panel, which is about the size of a grave, was created in memory of a man who died from AIDS complications.

More than 77 ,000 names, which is 2 1 percent of the 360,000 Americans who have died from AIDS complications, appear on the quilt.

The quilt will be displayed in the Tivoli Student Union Turnhalle on Nov. 23 from 6:45-9 p.m.; Nov. 24, which is World AIDS Day, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. ; and Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Closing ceremonies will be Nov. 25 at 5 p.m.

Volunteers are needed to help set up the exhibit, assisting with opening and closing ceremonies for the candlelight procession. People can also help as greeters, assist with educational activities or sales of NAMES Project merchandise.

Contributions made during the exhibi­tion will be shared among four local orga­nizations: Children's Hospital HIV Program, Empowerment Program Women Against AIDS Project, Howard Dental Center, and Project Angel Heart.

Student lobby group sets its agenda for 1998 legislature By Meghan Hughes The Metropolitan

Members of a student lobbying group chose financial aid, tuition rates and stu­dent fees as their top priorities Nov. 16 at a meeting in the Tivoli.

The Colorado Student Association is an non-profit organization that lobbies for student interests in the state legislature.

The group is supported by student fees from its 14 member institutions around the state. Colleges that are mem­bers of CSA pay a fee based on full-time student enrollment.

Metro pays approximately 50 cents for every full-time student enrolJed, according to Tony Young, CSA's director of campus affairs.

That comes to about $12,000 from Metro each year.

The organization's annual budget is about $89,000, said CSA Chairman Andy Nicholas. The budget pays for five staff members, rent for the CSA office and other operating costs.

CSA representatives hold one meet­ing each semester to nominate and intro­duce new representatives, as well as vote on and discuss platform issues which affect college students across Colorado. The CSA board of directors, made up of one student from each institution, meets mon~hly at member campuses around the state.

Nicholas and Greg Benn, a fellow CSA representative, made a presentation endorsing lower tuition increases and more financial aid, two issues the CSA has been involved with on an ongoing basis.

According to the CSA 1996-97 Annual Report, the average statewide

tuition for residents increased by 1.5 per­cent from the previous year. CSA's lobby­ing efforts resulted in one of the lowest tuition increases in history last year, the report said.

The group named other goals at the meeting, including adding more resources for graduate and non-traditional students. These students need better child care and

Andy Nicholas

more financial aid, and graduate stu­dents need housing, the representatives agreed.

Colorado col­leges need more money to build and maintain their cam­puses, and students should have more influence on that

process, the representatives said. The group also said Colorado col­

leges should make it easier to transfer course credit from one institution to another.

Metro is one of the largest members of CSA and has five student representa-lives.

Metro's representatives at this month's meeting were Chuck Bennett, student government representative to the college Board of Trustees; Krystal Bigley, Metro's student Judicial Board chief jus­tice; Sean Brailey, student government vice president of Administration and Finance; Matt Johnson, a representative on the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board; and Nicholas.

Metro flight team aims ~o beat Air Force By Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

Some professors might complain their students' heads are in the clouds, but aerospace science professor Bruce Christian, the advisor of Metro's Precision Flight Team, encourages it.

The team, which has been at Metro since the 1970s, competed Oct. 11 in a five state regional compet1t1on in Colorado Springs. It placed second over­all behind the Air Force Academy and was invited to compete in a national competi­tion next semester Kansas.

The team is adamant about beating the Air Force in the Kansas.

"If we beat Air Force, I will buy everyone on the ·team an expensive din­ner," Christian said. "My wife doesn ' t know that yet."

Breezy Franson, a Metro aerospace technology major and the team's co-cap­tain, said it will have to work hard to take tops in the national competition. Not only will the team have to put in long hours practicing, it also must raise money to go to the competition.

Franson said the cost for the team.. will be about $9,000, some of which will be covered by the Student Travel office and Metro Student Activities. She said the club will make up the difference by wash-.

ing planes at local airports, and selling pizzas and T-shirts on campus.

Franson said in addition to attending a mandatory 3-credit-hour aviation class during the week, the team also spends 5 hours on Saturdays practicing at the Limon airport and in Metro flight simula­tors.

"We try to have a lot of fun ," Franson said. "You'll never have a 3-hour class where you will work as much as here. We have to get up at 5:30 a. m. to go to Limon."

Christian said the team practices in Limon because its lack of arr traffic. Christian said when most people think of air competitions, they think of speed com­petitions or acrobatic competitions.

In the regional and national competi­tion, the pilots compete in nine events that simulate the challenges pilots might encounter on a day-to-day basis.

The competitions include precision landing and navigation exercises, in addi­tion to ground events like preflight inspec­tions. For those, a mechanic sabotages the aircraft and the contestant has 15 minutes to find the problem.

Christian said the competitions pay off for the flight team members because

-they can put it on their resumes. He said most students on the team will eventually take jobs as airline pilots after graduation.

Students get ready to quit Health center helps people to kick their butts

By Deborah Wiig The Metropolitan

Smokers trying to kick the habit for the "Great American Smokeout" on Nov. 20 got a little help from the Auraria Student Health Center.

Health Center employees passed our survival kits and presented a "Calling it Quits" workshop as part of the annual Smokeout.

The event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The health cen­ter also offers counseling and discount­priced Nicorette gum.

Attitude is everything, said Linda Wilkins-Pierce, a counselor at the health center who taught the workshop.

"People trying to quit have to believe in their ability to be successful," she said. "They need to identify themselves as a non-smoker, not as a smoker who is trying to quit.

"The Student Health Center offers ongoing individual support. We show them that they have coping skills they may not know they have. They can get through a class or an 8-hour workday without a cigarette. We can help them identify how they do it.

"A pack-a-day smoker puts their fin­gers to their lips 200 times a day," said Wilkins-Pierce, who is writing a booklet of success stories. "It is important to be aware of these powerful habits in order to overcome them."

Quitting requires defeating not only

the psychological and chemical addictions but also behavior patterns.

"Oh, God, it's hard!" Metro student Jessica Robbins said. "It takes a lot of work."

Robbins, a senior English major, said she smoked her last cigarette six weeks ago. She credits the nicotine patch pre­scribed by her doctor, as well as her per­sonal resolve.

"I'm under so much stress right now, I can't believe I'm still doing as well as I am," she said. "When I've tried to quit cold turkey, I'd get really irritable, and that would make me go right back to the ciga­rettes. The patch helps a lot."

It was cold turkey or nothing for Metro freshman Clint Bingham, who quit his pack-and-a-half-a-day habit. On his 19th birthday, he tossed out his cigarettes and didn't look back.

"I think anybody who tells them­selves, 'I'll just finish this pack, and then I'll quit,' or uses a nicotine patch, is just fooling themselves," he said. "My fiancee smokes, and it would be real easy to start again, but it's not something I want to do."

Most smokers start as teens, Wilkins­Pierce said.

"Generally, if they haven't started by the time they're 18 or 19, they won't," she said. "Many of those who are ready to quit are those approaching graduation. They don't want to carry the habit into their new careers."

Karmin Trujillo offered another perspec­tive.

"I think the problem is a mixture of both the type of music and the sound of the music," said Trujillo, who also works in the Club Hub on the third floor of the Tivoli. "People have double standards. If they like the music, then it is OK to blast it. But if they don't, then it is not OK."

Peti~~on does little to change. esp~esso cart's fate . By Reem Al-Omari

The Metropolitan

A Metro student has gathered 3,000 student signa­tures on a petition asking that Auraria extend the lease for Higher Grounds coffee cart or allow the business to oper-ate on campus from a new location. .

This summer, Auraria administrators decided to ter­minate the coffee cart's lease on Aug. 17 but changed their minds after students opposed the decision. The cart's owners now have until June 1998, when their lease was originally slated to expire, to take their operation else­where.

"This is about students being heard," said Mark Sedlacek, a Metro student who started the petition and has been collecting signatures since October.

Metro's Student Government Assembly and the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board met Nov. 14 in the Tivoli to discuss the petition.

Dwayne Taylor, a member of SACAB 's food service subcommittee, explained that Auraria already decided to honor the full term of the lease and slammed the cart's owners for not bidding to renew their lease. Taylor said the petition misrepresents Auraria's dealings with the cart's owners by placing all the blame on Auraria.

Although the cart has generated a lot of interest, the student government won't be doing much to change the situation, said student government President Karmin Trujillo. ·

Since this is an Auraria issue, not Metro's, it is best addressed by SACAB, which represents all three -schools at Auraria, she said.

Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union and Campus Auxiliaries, said Auraria decided to end the cart's lease this summer so. it could find a vendor to run both the cafeteria i~side the..§puth Classroom an~ t~e,f of-

ria to eliminate competition between the two and to attract a vendor that could offer a wider variety of food.

Weiske said moving Higher Grounds somewhere else on campus is not an option because Auraria has already chosen someone to take over the operation of the cart and the cafeteria. Weiske said the new vendor was picked out of seven bidders.

Campus paper finds new homes By Bill Keran The Metropolitan

A student legislative newspaper that was booted out of its old office early this semester found two new places to operate.

The Capitol Reporter's editors learned in September they would be losing the larger of the two rooms the Rocky Mountain News was letting them use rent-free at the 400 block of West Colfax.

The News is now using the space to house its own staff.

The Capitol Reporter is moving its computers into the basement of the Rectory building on campus between St. Cajetan's Center and the Golda Meir House.

The paper is also getting a desk in the state Capitol's press room, a privilege it never had before. Movers began moving office equipment Nov. 19 into the Rectory.

Being spread out between the Capitol, the News and the campus office will not be a problem, said Bob Bums, the paper's chief editor.

Burns said computers at the News office and the Rectory Building

will be connected by modem and by fax machine. The newspaper will likely get a laptop so reporters can write and e-mail stories from the state CapitoL The laptop will be at The Capitol Reporter's desk in the press room.

"We're pretty excited that we have space," said Deb Hurley-Brobst, chairwoman of the Metro Journalism department, of the Rectory space.

"It's a nice space in that it's open and we're going to be able to set up the equipment we need," she said.

In September, members of the journalism department were worried about finding a place to set up shop for the newspaper that would be close enough to the state Capitol and big enough to house several computers.

Doug Bell, who teaches editing classes at Metro and will be the assis­tant editor of The Capitol Reporter

. this year, said it's better that the news­paper is on campus because his stu­dents will have a convenient opportu­nity to get hands-on training.

"As an editing teacher, it's going to be a lot easier for me to involve my editing students in the work of The Capitol Repol'ler," Bell said.

Smokeout strategy QUIT from 5

Tips for kicking the habit Ready: • Notice when and why you smoke and

change your routines. When you want a ciga­rette, wait a few minutes.

• Buy one pack at a time. Set: • Throw away your cigarettes, hide your ash-

trays. • Clean and deodorize your house and car. Quit: • Drink lots of liquids, but avoid caffeine. • Chew on something such as carrots, gum,

hard candy or straws. • Exercise for energy and to keep your mind

off smoking. • To reduce cravings, eat high-alkaline

foods, such as apples, carrots, potatoes and avoid acid-producing foods, such as bread, rice and eggs. (The Student Health Center can give you a list.)

• Sit in non-smoking sections of public places.

•Keep a pen in your free hand when you're on the phone.

•Avoid fatigue and hunger. Reward yourself at the end of the day.

Staying quit: • Put the cigarette money you've saved in a

jar on the table. • If you slip, don't be discouraged. Others

have slipped and succeeded. • Give yourself credit for each small success. Source: The National Cancer Institute; the American Cancer

Metro faculty members help low-income residents learn to read

. o +-

Jenny Sparks/The Metropolitan

TRUST: Volunteer Dave Parson takes time out to help some of the center's youth with conflict resolution at Metro's Family Center.

By Linda Hardesty and Perry Swamon The Metropolitan

0 n a recent Friday night, Adriano Wycoff was alone at the Hope Six building at North Denver's Quigg-Newton subsidized housing

project. She was working on the computer, trying to load an ancient program onto an ancient machine - and she was so absorbed in her work, she hadn't noticed how late it had become.

"I heard shots outside, and people started throwing rocks at the window," she said.

She closed the blinds and moved away from the win­dow. She checked the phones.

"Yes, sometimes I'm afraid," Wycoff said. But Wycoff and Arthur Campa are dedicated to help­

ing people at Quigg-Newton learn how to read and how to live in a world that demands cultural literacy.

Wycoff works for Metro's Family Center. Campa is a professor in the Anthropology department. The two have worked together for J 2 years.

They have a grant to develop a Family Literacy Center at Quigg-Newton, which is near 46th Street and Pecos, and home to 1,300 people.

Wycoff said some families have lived at Quigg­Newton for generations and are illiterate. She described one woman who did not know that two dimes and a nick­el equaled a quarter. Apparently, when this woman went grocery shopping, she just laid her money on the counter ~n'1 )pt th~ r-"\C'hiPr rnu~t-;; ... - - - - ...

One service the center provides is an after-school tutoring program for students at Remington, Smedly and Horace Mann elementary schools. Sometimes more than 20 children attend the program, which is held four days a week and staffed by volunteers.

"You really see here, working with these kids, the absolute lack of structure in their lives," said Fraser Ohlgren, a volunteer at the tutoring program and graduate of the University of Denver. 'They have zero conflict res­olution skills. The minute somebody says something, they fight."

Ohlgren said the children have a hard time imagining what life is like outside their community. He described an incident following a drive-by shooting where a victim lay dead on the ground for 20 hours before police arrived.

When Ohlgren asked the children what they did that day, they responded, "We went to see the body with the head·blown off," he said.

Ohlgren and his friend, Dave Parson, who also volun­teers at the center, said they try to reach school-age kids - when they haven't given up yet.

"It definitely is a rough crowd, but you can't get frus­trated," said Ohlgren. "If I quit on them, I'm just one more in a long line of people that said 'You suck."'

Parson said it's important for children living in a housing project to realize they have a choice of what to do with their lives. He helps run a dance group for students at Horace Mann Elementary.

Another volunteer at the center, Dee Britton, is a res-

council. She said illiteracy is a family problem. If parents can't read, they are not likely to have books around the house, and they don't read bedtime stories to their chil­dren, who get a message that reading is not important. Even though the kids go to school for a while, they aren't encouraged to do their homework and they may end up illiterate. "It's a cycle," Britton said.

She said her own family came from a small Mexican­American community in New Mexico where everyone spoke Spanish. Her family moved to Silverton right before she started school.

"I started first grade and didn't know how to speak any English at all," she said.

Out of 13 kids in her family, she was the only one who graduated from high school.

She didn't have her own bedroom where she could find a quiet place to study. Besides, she said, the bed­rooms didn't have heat, and Silverton has very cold win­ters. The whole family of spent their evenings around the wood stove in the kitchen-living room area.

She wanted to graduate because she saw how her par­ents had to struggle. She would help them pay their bills. Her dad would set out his weekly wages and all his bills on the kitchen table. She would fill out the money orders to pay the bills.·

Although her siblings can read, Britton said, they regret not finishing high school. Her brothers ended up going into the military and her sisters got married.

Britton said the cycle of illiteracy can be broken, but it's best if the parents do it.

Wycoff and Campa agree. They said family learning is much more effective than teaching the parents and the children separately. That's why Wycoff and Campa have established a home-based family literacy program. There are 32 families at Quigg-Newton in the program.

Each week, two teachers visit each of the 32 homes. The families are typically a single mother with pre-school­aged children. The teachers give assignments to the whole family, and then the homework is reviewed at the next visit.

In-home education is effective because parents can help their children and learn for themselves at the same time.

Britton says that illiterate adults often have feelings of self-loathing. They consider themselves stupid. She sug­gests that support groups help these people because they need to know they aren't the only one who can't read.

Metro's family literacy program includes English as a Second Language and GED instruction. Child-care is pro­vided for these programs so adults can concentrate and work together.

The Metro family literacy program also holds a homework clinic for school-age kids each day after school. Wycoff says quite a few kids come to the clinic, partly because they don't have anything else to do.

'Tm real pleased," Wycoff said of the program. "Of course I'd always like to see more. But these kinds of pro­grams take a long time."

Wycoff and Campa have spend hundreds of hours at Quigg-Newton that they call "face-time," which simply means becoming a familiar face at the complex to gain residents' trust.

Campa once spent so much time there, he was nomi­nated for an office at the residents' council. He explained that he was ineligible because he didn't live at Quigg­Newton. The people at the meeting said, "You don't?"

Wycoff does her grocery shopping in the neighbor­hood. Once, she ran into a resident who was looking at all the varieties of teething biscuits at the local Safeway. The resident couldn'.t read English very well and asked Wycoff for help. The two discussed biscuits for half an hour.

OTIS The Boller Room Tivoli Student Union Happy Hour: 4-7 Mondays-Fridays

~ The last time I was at the BR, some­

body, I recall it was the bar manager, kicked me out, saying something to the effect of, "don't ever try to come back here again ."

It was after attending a Broncos game and I was totally sober, so I don't know what the problem was.

So with that in mind: The BR is OK. It has cool new video games, and it used to have cute waitresses. If the BR were anywhere but on campus, it just wouldn 't be like Mayberry.

"I just called the campus police, and they have your description," someone said. Good thing I didn't become just another statistic.

Not that getting kicked out of bars isn't bad enough, last week the Rocky Mo1.1:ntain News reported that JO students were cited on Auraria Campus for liquor violations.

If I could get JO people up in Sheriff Taylor's jail, we'd be havin' a par-tay.

Here, future and past student drinkers, is the Top 10 Ways to Get Caught Drinking at S.chool (because pre­sent student drinkers already know what's up.):

1. You do all your homework for next hour at the bar.

2. When your prof asks if you got No. 40 right, you say, "You should have asked, I finished it in the car."

3. You leave your tab open at Soapy Smith's while attending Feminist Theory (WMS 230).

4. You keep referring to your notes as "My gin and juice."

5. You think there's enough time between 10:50 and 11 to make it to the BR.

6. For Speech JO I, you explain the subtle difference between a Bombay and tonic vs. a Tangueray and tonic.

7. You ask your photo teacher if it 's OK to take a break for happy hour.

8. You think it's safe to have "only one martini and a $7 cigar" before night accounting class.

9. You count drinking with an associ­ate professor as "extra credit."

JO. You buy E&J Cask and Cream to mix with your coffee and forget to add the coffee.

The BR is, of course, located in the Historic Tivoli, otherwise known as "Taco Bell and McDonald's." For more informa­tion, consult this newspaper staff or look for an ad in your spring class bulletin.

Swingin' 9th Avenue West makes dancing fun despite snotty attitude

By Ricardo Baca The Metropolitan

9th Avenue West 9th Avenue and Acoma Street 572-8006

9th Avenue West. The name just emits pretentiousness. When describing a location, people would normally say

"West 9th Avenue." People may ordinarily spell out "ninth" when writing it

down. But the Izod-wearing Ken-doll-look-alike who drives his Lexus sports utility vehicle down Cherry Creek Boulevard with his Starbucks coffee in his leather cupholder would probably say "9th Avenue West."

As proclaimed on its stationary and answering machine, the club is "Denver's premier swing supper club." True enough.

It is also true that it is Denver's only swinging supper club. One thing they should be concerned about is the lack of

space - not only for eating and socializing, but for swing dancing, too.

A swing club should have sufficient room to swing dance - a form of dance that requires space, especially for people just learning. Visitors on any average Friday or Saturday night will find it an adventure finding a table and, subsequently, room to dance.

As a swing and big band afi-cionado, I can appreciate their ~ .J.

bringing quality local and national music to a Denver stage. But the atti­tude they do it with leaves much to be desired. The wait service is bad, and aside from a few really friend­ly bartenders, the entire staff treats customers like dog poo.

A few waitresses, with charac­teristics that make them hard to for­

get, look so perturbed and distraught@ that "you want a whiskey sour and f. also need change for a fifty?!" They ~ ..... bring new meaning to the cliche, "the look of death."

It's true that they have to work their

way through the bustling club, which is small but still draws crowds over 1,000 people nightly. But they still are there to serve and please the customer.

The staff aren't the only elitists at 9th Avenue West. The crowds are equally stuffy. Not to say that all the visitors are pompous, but the majority of people standing around are as full of themselves as the Stay-Puf Marshmallow Man.

Their $1,000 smiles sparkle and. their Gavin Rossdale-esque hair glimmers.

Even with all of these vile characteristics, the club has its pluses.

It's been instrumental in bringing good bands to Denver. They have brought Indigo Swing in from San Francisco a couple times and had the Cherry Poppin' Daddies here for its grand opening celebrations.

The lessons available at the club, taught by Joan and Les Cooper, are also very good. They often deal with large crowds of people and do a good job informing people abou.t the basics of swing in only an hour-long lesson.

The experienced swing dancers at the club are very humble and courteous and always willing to help the lesser-experi­

enced dancers. As unofficial ambassadors of the club, they keep the people coming back for

more. Lord knows it's not the cocktail wait­

resses. The 9th Avenue West schedule:

Mondays - Live big band music.

Tuesdays - DJ K-Nee spins acid jazz.

Wednesdays Vintage swing and rocka­

billy music with dance lessons at 9 p.m ..

Thursdays __: Latin jazz and salsa music.

Fridays and Saturdays -Live music. Nov. 21 and 22 is the debut of the club's house band, Papa Grande and His Double-Wide Jumptet.

Sundays - Live music by 17-piece big band Spectrum.

Student new teller .of old tales By Kendra Nachtrieb The Metropolitan

Storytellers have been retelling mankind's history and giving explanations for the unexplainable since the first human walked on the surface of the earth. Ancient people's only textbooks were the elders that surrounded them.

This ancient art of storytelling is com­ing to Metro on Nov. 23 with Tellabration '97, "Carriers of the Dream Wheel."

Tellabration is a storytelling event that began in 1988 when storytellers came together for a weekend of sharing and lis­tening. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide event involving people from all walks of life.

Metro' s Tellabration was organized by Sky Walker, a senior who will be the first • student in Metro's history to graduate with a degree in storytelling,

Walkei:, J1a_s achiev~~ thi~ !Jlroug~-

Metro's Independent Degree Plan, which offers students the choice of creating their own degree in areas that Metro does not offer degrees.

She combined elements from com­munication, anthro­pology and English; along with story­telling internships with professors.

She became interested in story-

Sky Walker telling while doing work study at the

Denver City Theater. She saw a brochure for a black woman who was traveling around the country as a storyteller.

A friend gave her Storytelling: Process and Practice, a textbook by University of Colorado at Denver profes­sor Norma Leivo. It inspired Walker to continue_ into !1!,e_ ~rea of _s!orytel~~~·

"I just love storytelling," Walker said. "It covers different areas, and I have lerned a lot of interesting things."

Walker got involved with Tellabration last year but wasn' t satisfied with the events.

She approached Metro theater Professor Marilyn Hetzel, who found bud­get money for Walker to hold an event this year.

Her goal is to attract many diverse Metro students.

''I'd really like to see a lot of students there to experience storytelling," Walker said. "I also am hoping to get some Spanish speaking peoples to come because we have two tellers from Mexico who will be speaking in Spanish and bilingually."

"It will be a unique experience, espe­cially for those who haven' t been to a sto­rytelling event."

Tellabration will be held from 3:00 to

6:0~ P·~·- ~-T~o~i_2_6_1. The event is free.

Contemporary Colorado photography has certainly come a long way from the typical postcard shots of mountain landscapes and big­horned sheep.

Also poking fun al culture is John Davenport's Modem Icon #5. Davenport takes blue prints of American favorites such as a Barbie doll, a syringe, Marilyn Monroe, all topped off by a .45 caliber pistol.

Perhaps Bonath's most animated piece is . An Eventful Life is a Book With Many Chapters, which centers on an old woman hugging a thick old b~k with her skinny little arms. She seems like something out of the children's fairy books with her bony frame and synthetic, wild green hair standing on end.

Another literary piece is Tower of Babble,

On a more sensual scale is Mark Sink's Lani Above Shanon.

This piece bears a serene emotion all its own. Four women make up the image, covered only in sheer white fabric and a thin fog, all swim­ming and floating in air as if they were part of a ritual exotic dance.

One of the guys was sitting in a very precarious position on the rail, and I spent a lot of time during the show mulling over whether or not I should push him off.

I had a good time, even though it may not seem like it. But beware. If I catch any of you out there doing these things - well, you know. You've had ample warning.

Southern charm apparent in Eastwood's 'Garden' By Tracy Rhines The Metropolitan

Clint Eastwood takes the director's chair once again to present his version of John Berendt's novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. A tale that starts out simple and gradually becomes a complicated web of murder and intrigue.

John Cusack plays John Kelso, a New York writer sent to Savannah, Ga,. to cover an elegant Christmas party. The lavish event is hosted by Jim Williams (Kevin Spacey), a very influential and eccentric ' Southern gentleman, with a taste for collecting expensive baubles and rare art.

John finds a culture in Savannah that amazes him, referring to it as "Gone With the Wind on mescaline!" It's a place where they walk dogs that are no longer alive and old women wave firearms at parties, exclaiming, "I can't wait to shoot a man!"

The kid gloves are removed when young Billy Hanson (Jude Law) is killed after the festivities. Jim Williams holds

the smoking gun but claims self-defense. Kelso, who witnessed Billy drinking

heavily and threatening Jim earlier in the evening, immediately drops his story for the magazine and decides to write a book aboutthe events surrounding the death.

Being an outsider and especially a 'Yankee,'. John finds it difficult lo get information, until he meets The Lady Chablis. She's the ex-roommate of Billy 's ex-girlfriend and can attest to Billy 's penchant for violent behavior.

Kelso, along with Chablis and other characters he meets, embarks on a mis­sion to find the truth that will free Jim and get John the information for his book.

The movie's story was fascinating and the characters were interesting, but didn't inspire sympathy for their dilem­mas.

The end, where the characters' secrets are revealed in public court, was not as strong as expected.

16 The Metropolitan November 21, 1997 Commentar Gig series let there be rock

·•

·-'~lfbm ·· ·· Editorial News: The Gig Series in the Tivoli,

'"a 2-hour band 'performance each Wednesday, is creating controversy.

Views: Students and businesses should find other things to complain about.

performed Nov. 5.

Hey, kids, do you like the rock-n-roll? Apparently not.

Some people in the Tivoli have complained about the volume of the music performed each week in the Tivoli Atrium. The Gig Series, which brings a different band to the student union for 2 hours each week, has drawn fire from student leaders and administrators.

Metro Dean of Student Life Yolanda Ortega­Ericksen complained specifically about Mary Madness, the group that

"It was so loud that it ceased to be music .to me and turned into noise," Ortega-Ericksen said.

Student Government Assembly Vice President of Student Organizations Jim Hayen said the organizers

Drastic measures to noise reduction .....

of the event should "search for music that is entertain­ing without being overly disruptive."

Granted, sometimes the music reaches ear-shat­tering proportions. And no band is capable of pleasing everyone.

But come on. This is a college campus, and 2 hours a week is not an exorbitant time frame.

The performances attract attention. This does _most Tivoli businesses justice by bringing interested students into the building.

Perhaps a maximum volume level limit could be established to avoid breaking glass or making life mis­erable for those doing office work for the 2-hour peri­od each week, but calling for a particular style of music that is "entertaining" is far too subjective to be realistic.

Closing one's office doors will eliminate the brunt of the distraction if the music is too loud.

The Gig Series is one of few events that can entertain students without forcing undivided attention. You still can eat. You still can shop. You still can study in one of the lounges in the Tivoli .

Or if you just can't stand the music, you can leave for 2 hours and let the band play on.

New Metro president? Pick one The recent hiring of former

U.S. Sen. Hank Brown as pres­ident of the University of Northern Colorado got me thinking.

Maybe if we convinced some high profile candidates to express their desire to head up

Travis Henry Metro, we could get rid of

The Lowdown Metro's Queen Sheila Kaplan once and for all.

The job pays $137,500 a year and gives you the power to destroy whole Journalism departments on a whim.

I am sure that several people in the public would find running Metro both challenging and rewarding.

Many fine prospects jump to mind. In no particular order, here is the Metro wish list

for a new college president and why each individual is qualified:

• Rush Limbaugh. He can manipulate statistics like no one else can. Never again will Metro's enroll­ment or standards decline. Rush will just blame such a perceived decline on scare tactics used by democrats.

• Fidel Castro. Already adept at running a dicta­torship. Also will bring in many fine Cuban cigars, all the rage these days down in LoDo.

• Dan Quayle. Because "The Met" is easier to spell than potato.

• The lead singer for the rock group No Doubt (don't know her name, don' t care). Because she's Hot!!

• Bill Gates. No more Apple computer problems. Actually, no more Apple computers at all.

• Agent Scully or Agent Mulder. Let's face it. There are some strange occurrences around here that go unexplained. If they can't figure it out, no one can.

• Manuel Escamilla, former assistant vice presi­dent of Student Services. So protesting students who have no clue will quit their ignorant whining.

•Princess Di. Oh wait. She's dead. • John and Patsy Ramsey. They can keep a

secret. • Hillary Clinton. Because she used to be Hot,

and she's smart, too!! • Walt Weiss. Can turn a better double-play .than

Sheila. Come back to Colorado, Walt! •Travis Henry. So I can really piss you off. You

think it's bad now? • Steven Spielberg. We really, really need a

Planet Hollywood in the Tivoli. • Saddam Hussein. Loyal to the death. Down

with godless, greedy capitalist state legislators! Give us the money or else!

• Ascent Promoter Barry Fey. We really need some good bands down here at Auraria. Not to men­tion scantily clad Las Vegas showgirls. Nobody's going to see them at Nuggets games, Barry, nobody.

•Ted Kennedy. The Boiler Room has been hav­ing a slow month.

As you can see, there are many fine candidates out there to replace the president we have now. If you come into contact with any of these fine individuals, please urge them to announce their interest in Sheila's job.

The sooner, the better. Travis Henry is a Metro student and a columnist for The Metropolitan

country's children.

And history repeats itself once again.

Last time, we made the mistake of letting him live. Now, Saddam Hussein is thumbing his nose at the American government, daring us to make him obey the rules - live between the lines.

He's using families to protect his interests. He's setting up schools at military objective points, cowardly shielding himself with the lives of his

A despicable act from a despicable man. And what does America do about it? Some would say it's not our business. "America is

not the world's police force," they say. But when a madman feels no compunction threaten­

ing the lives of his own people to secure his sovereignty, he poses a threat to the rest of the free world. Therefore, someone must take action.

But it doesn't have to be America. Many times in the last few years I've heard or read

Americans' complaints about how much funding this country provides Israel.

"What. do we get in return for this?" they ask. Simple. A Middle East police force.

Israel has proven time and time again that it has no problem keeping that area of the world under control. With the planet's No. I air force, it has beaten back attackers on several occasions. Often, those attackers have included many nations at once.

And, in the past, it has taken as little as 6 days to accomplish that. So America withdraws all of its troops from the gulf. It then fashions a contract with Israel, dep­utizing the country as a Middle East peacekeeping force. Objectives come from American command, however, tactics and military control are retained by Israel.

"What about the U.N.?" those people ask. Let me digress. Did you know that there is only one member country of the United Nations that is ineligible to sit on the Security Council? Iraq is eligible. Libya and South Africa are both eligible. But Israel is not. The U.N. is like communism. It looks great on paper, but when it comes to the real world°, it just doesn't work.

The United Nations is little more than a way for America to pull itself from a decision-making process while leaving itself financially and militaristically responsible for the outcome. In other words, America is the U.N.

With that semantic bout out of the way, back to what this plan does. It accomplishes a few things:

•American soldiers are pulled from harm's way. • Funding for Israel is justified. • The Middle East is forced into a peace it hasn't

seen in more than 50 years. Arab world, relax. This plan does not give Israel the

chance to expand its borders, turning the Arabian penin­sula into the Jewish peninsula.

Israel isn't being given free reign. It will not be allowed to act from its own compulsion, so Arab nations have no need to worry about a misuse of power.

Don't want to have to deal with Saddam, Am·erica? Then don't.

U.S., Iraq policy fatally flawed Seven years after the Gulf crisis, as

the U.S. weighs its options, including mil­itary strikes, the Iraqi people continue to suffer under the sanctions. The crisis is of unprecedented proportions. The sanctions against Iraq have shattered civil society, the economy and the educational system.

The U.N'. International Children's Fund estimates that 4,Soo· children are dying every month - one every I 0 min­utes. Dr. Hala Maksoud, president of the ADC, Arab-American Anli­Discriminalion Committee, said, "There is exactly one big loser in this - the Iraqi people."

While there have been levels of non­complianc~ by Iraq, the regime has con­formed with most of the requirements to

dismantle its weapons of mass deslniction. National Security Advisor Sandy

Berger noted on CNN that UNSCOM has destroyed more Iraqi weapons than the Gulf War. There should be recognition of this and the sanctions should be eased.

Indeed, the humanitarian crisis is so grave, Iraqi compliance with UNSCOM should be decoupled from the devastating sanctions regime. The sanctions prohibit items, ·including pencils, sewing machines, agricultural pesticides and chlo­rine to purify the water. Food and medi­cine should not be used as weapons. Twenty-two million Iraqis should not be held hostage to international political maneuvering.

The issue at hand must remain

between Iraq and the U.N. Security Council, not Iraq and the U.S. The U.S. should not unilaterally act against Iraq. All the parties concerned, including the Arab League and the Islamic Conference, should be consulted and these bodies should also be used lo distribute humani­tarian relief to Iraqis. There are diplomatic options in this crisis, and the U.S. should refrain from using force.

U.S. policy has been to insist that the sanctions remain in place so long as the Iraqi regime remains in po.wer. This under­mines the U.N. resolutions and creates a disincentive for the Iraqi regime to comply with the resolutions.

Complaints of dismount policy extreme Editor, The editorial (The Metropolitan , Nov.

14) on the new skate/bike policy was extreme. Do you really expect us to believe that because of these new barri-

· cades that people will now choose lo spend extra time driving to school, paying

$2 to park, and then walking five to 10 minutes to class. Come on.

The extra minute it will take for you lo walk from the bike rack (which is where I presume you park your bike, or do you just park it outside your classroom door?) should not be the deciding factor on

whether you drive or bike. During that extra minute, think of the potential acci­dent you have just eliminated.

I ride my bike to school, and I do dis­mount at the blue signs.

PC is, about respecting ourselves, others . ~ Editor, This is in response to Dave

Flomberg's little ditty about the blind and PC (The Metropolitan, Nov. 7).

Your headline, "PC blindly goes nowhere, everywhere," insults the blind by insinuating they can go nowhere. This reinforces negative perceptions of· the blind like using "black" as a negative con­notation.

As you continue your casual observa­tions, yes it may seem odd to have Braille at drive-through ATM machines. But how do you know it may not be useful at times? What if a blind person is with a driver who has learning disabilities who cannot oper­ate an ATM but the blind person can? This is a possibility, not to mention, God forbid, that we may include blind people in every­day activities such as asking them to help us with our ATM transactions when they are with us in our cars.

Then we wind to your paragraph crit-

1c1zrng the mall of their exclusion of Hebrew, and I wonder how you can be insensitive toward blind people and then demand equal treatment for yourself. Your actions are not consistent. You'll fight for your people but attack other marginalized groups?

And then we have your superficial wail against differences and respect. Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but many people are uncomfortable with those they perceive as different to the point where they do not discern any commonalties. As for singling out differences, it is usually the person in a more privileged position who does the singling. This creates a peck­ing order so his or her false sense of supe­riority remains intact.

Yes, respect ourselves is one step; respecting others is another. That is what PC is: plain courtesy, plain respect. That is all PC ever was until people who felt their privilege was threatened and started co-

opting the '70s feminist tenn "political correctness" by using il derisively as if compassion and the need to connect with our human family across all races, classes, genders, sexual orientations, etc., is sus-pect. \

Although at times I feel that the main­stream media has belittled the term "polit­ical correctness" ad nauseam, at least it is obvious that feminist/womanist conscious­ness has prevailed so soundly that even a national TV show is dedicated to "Politically Incorrect." I would just like to witness a few less talking heads, and a few more talking hearts. As a people, Americans have not learned to love each other unconditionally and that is one of our greatest crimes against humanity.

No. 13 Roadrunners reach regionals Volleyball team in national competition after taking third in RMAC event By Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

So much for rebuilding. The Metro volleyball team's future is now.

The expected growing pains of a young, vulnerable collection of talented but not-quite-ready-for-Prime-Time athletes quickly exploded into a bona fide contender -two matches away from reaching the Elite Eight.

And with a 3-0 regular-season victory over Regis, top seed in the Division II volleyball regionals (Nov. 22-23 at Regis University), the Metro volleyball team proved it can play with almost anyone. The real test, however, will come in the its opening regional match against the University of Southern Colorado Nov. 22 at 5 p.m.

USC, a team with a four-match winning streak over the Roadrunners, including a five-game victory Nov. 15 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament semifinals, stands between Metro and a regional title bout with Regis or Hawaii-Hilo.

The Roadrunners enter regionals as the No. 2 seed. Regis is No. 1, Hawaii-Hilo is No. 4, and USC is No. 3.

''This is great to be this far so fast," Metro coach Joan McDermott said. "We are probably the only team in the region with a shot at beating Regis. For some reason, we match up really well with them."

Metro's berth into regionals didn't materialize until it ~ocked off the University of Nebraska-Kearney in the third-place match of the RMAC tournament Nov. 15.

The Roadrunners lost 15-11, 9-15., 8-15, 15-9, 15-13 to USC in the semifinals after beating Adams State College in the opening round.

"We could have won it, but we got stuck and made a lot of hitting errors," McDermott said of the semifinal loss. "But it was a great match."

The loss put the Roadrunners in a do-or-die situation heading into the UNK match and a four-game win (15-8, 8-15, 17-15, 15-7) over the No. 13-ranked Lopers earned Metro a spot at regionals.

"If we lost, there was a good chance we weren't going to go (to regionals)," McDermott said. "It scared me a lit­tle bit, but I had to tell them. I told them after our (USC)

match. And I said, 'All we've got is today, and if we don't win, we don't deserve to go."'

Metro responded with only its third win ever over UNK and second this season. The first win came in 1989.

Michelle Edwards earned RMAC freshman of the year and lived up to her billing in the third-place match . Edwards led the Roadrunners with 16 kills. Holly Rice and Shannon Ortell chipped in with I 3, Kelly Young had I 2, and Audra Littou finished with I I.

Facing a possible 2-1 deficit with UNK leading 14-13 in Game 3, Metro fought off game point to tie the score. After fighting off another game point at I 5-14, the Roadrunners responded with three-straight to take Game 3

and take command.

Rice, a senior, said another shot at No. 3-ranked Regis is all the Roadrunners can ask. Metro lost to Regis 3-1 Oct. 30.

"I just think if we have one more chance at them ... " Rice said, alluding to the fact that Metro has nothing to lose now since it's advanced further than even its coach could have predicted. "Totally no pressure. That's the way I feel, and that's how any team plays its best."

The Roadrunners, ranked No. I 3, return to regionals for the first time since 1993 and make their first appear­ance as an RMAC school. Metro's last appearance came as a member of the now-defunct Colorado Athletic Conference. The Elite Eight is slated for Dec. 6-7 at Michigan Tech.

Puri( oy assaults recordbook By Kyle Ringo The Metropolitan

Dan Purifoy waited patiently. He practiced hard but mostly he waited.

Then all the patience and practice paid off. Purifoy qualified for the Division II national swimming and diving competition Nov. 15 in Metro's dual meet with the Colorado School of Mines.

Qualifying has been Purifoy's dream for four years now as a diver at Metro. He finally made it despite some tough scar-ing.

"These judges, I think, were pretty tough," Purifoy said. "And I made it any-way.

"I think I deserve this one. I called up my dad and told him I made it. He was screaming and hootin' and hollerin' ."

In the process, Purifoy managed to set a school record in the I-meter diving with a score of 271.7.

He is getting accustomed lo setting school records, though.

The record he broke was his own and one he had set earlier this season. He credits coach Brian Kennedy for any improvement.

"I think his work speaks for itself," Purifoy said.

It is the second time in a young sea­son that one of Kennedy's divers has qualified for nationals while setting a school record. Freshman Cari Lewton did it Nov. 1 in 3-meter competition.

Kennedy said he is pleased for the pair but not satisfied.

'Tm comfortable with it," Kennedy said. "B.ut I always feel like I ha_ve to push them one step further.

"The first of the season started out slow, but I think they realized they had to learn some harder dives, so the intensity of practice picked up."

Swimming coach Rob Nasser said he expects similar results to start coming soon from his athletes.

"They need to build up their endurance and rest after that," Nasser said. "So it's a hurry-up-and-wait thing.

"There could be that one meet where they just break out."

Todd Schmitz (backstroke), Leslie Heath (butterfly), and Angela Hillsten (100 fly) all did well against Mines , Nasser sa~d.

He expects them to join past national qualifiers Kristin

The winds of change that have blown through the men's basketball program at Metro since the end of last season now seem dwarfed by the blow-out the 1997 Roadrunners laid on the College of Notre Dame in the Nov. 15 season opener.

The Roadrunners gave coach Mike Dunlap his first win at Metro in grand style 95-65.

Apparently, Dunlap hadn't given it much thought.

" I expect to win," Dunlap said. "Adrian Navarro came up to me and shook my hand.

From ranked to spanked Penchant for burnout a concern for womens soccer team

Kyle Ringo

Watching the women's soccer sea­son deteriorate into what it eventually became was nastier than staring at the open cadavers in a forensics class.

At least that is

having a home field to practice or play on until two-thirds of the season was gone. The fatigue brought on by all the travel between practice and school, school and games and what not ruined the Roadrunners, he said.

Certainly, some of the poor play was borne out of being a homefieldless team. But not all of it. Or any where near all of

what Metro senior it. Shannon Wise seems

to think. Wise finished her career at Metro

when the Roadrunners lost their season finale Nov. 8 at Regis. She is a criminalis­tics major, and spends some of her class time viewing the dead.

And now she knows how they feel. "That's my release," Wise said. "It makes me sick to my stomach

knowing how this season went." What is sick is how Metro managed

to go from a No. 5 national ranking to a 10-9 final record and far from the elite.

This included a stretch where the Roadrunners lost nine of their last 13 games.

Some players have been quietly com­plaining for weeks that they are not chal­lenged enough by coaches in practice, while others prefer to place the blame for the second major collapse in four years on the players themselves.

"It's kind of a hard way to end," Wise said. "We had the opportunities and skill to win.

"I don't think we had a lot of disci­pline. I don't think we had a lot of heart."

Alarm bells should be blaring in coach Ed Montojo's office.

Such a collapse occurring once might be a fluke. But twice in four years? Sooner or later it becomes a trend.

Montojo has his own ideas of what went wrong.

His ideas have more to do with not

Last season a group of players went to Athletics Director William Helman to complain about Montojo's coaching style. Helman turned a deaf ear saying in effect that Montojo's record speaks for itself.

Exactly. Montojo has been extremely success­

ful if winning percentage is all that is taken into account. But what about the bottom line? Finishing.

• Twice in the past four years the Roadrunners have been in the top five. Twice, the other being the 1994 season, the Roadrunners have experienced a mon­umental collapse. And the 1994 team had a home field and Rosie Durbin (second

· all-time scorer in Metro history and one of two Roadrunners to be All-American).

• Players, this year and last, say that Montojo just isn't tough enough in prac­tice and that his game day decision mak­ing is questionable.

Montojo is an excellent recruiter and his teams are fast out of the gate. But in sports, it's not about how you start. It's all about how you finish. Maximizing poten­tial is the most accurate gauge of a coach's ability.

Montojo's teams, namely the 1994 . and 1997 squads, had the potential for

greatness. . Both flopped, and it' s time for

Helman and Montojo to do a bit of soul searching and figure out why women's soccer can't finish what it starts.

That is the bottom line.

The MSCD Counseling Center Institute for Multicultural Understanding is pleased to present the fourth in a series of symposia focusing on diversity and multicultural issues for the fall 1997 semester:

A~nluio9 ~iversitu

7hrou9h the d\pprecintive Jo'luiru process //

by Dr. Madison Holloway, Assistant Professor MSCD Management Department

When: Monday, November 24, 1997 Noon - 1:00 P.M.

Where: Golda Meir Center (two houses south from St.Cajetan's)

Appreciative Inquiry is a flexible process that focuses on human growth and development by having individuals express, through dialogue, "The Best Of What Is" and the "Best Of What Can Be." This process looks at the organizational and personal barriers that keep people from attaining the "Best Of What Can Be." In this symposium, Dr. Holloway, who in the capacity of organizational consultant has extensive experience in developing programs for the reduction of racism and sexism in employment, will focus on the often-flawed process that we have beeii "trained" to utilize to reach common, human goals. The session will also involve dialogue toward bridging cultural gaps through effective team-building and analysis of different communication styles.

Please join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking, learning experience.

These symposia are free and open to all in the Auraria and neighboring communities. Gasses are welcomed. Refreshments will be served. For more infonnation, call Jose at 556-3132. Future symposia will be announced via campus newspaper ads, flyers, and on E-mail.

These symposia are presented with funding assistance from the MSCD Diversity Initiatives Program Committee.
