Panel focuses on Mid East crisis Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan

A near-capacity crowd was bombarded with information about the current Middle East crisis during a recent round table discus­sion.

Metropolitan State College of Denver President Thomas Brewer and professors Robert Hazan, Akbarali H. Thobhani and Sandra Gudmundsen spoke Nov. 5 at the 25th Anniversary Round Table discussion called to debate United States involvement in the Middle East.

"When the weather in the region cools, the possibility of a hot war increases," Brewer said in his in-

troduction to the audience at the St. Francis Center Lounge.

"I tis our duty to always look for alternatives to war," said Hazan, a visiting assistant political science professor who outlined a basic history of the Iraq/Kuwait region.

Hazan explained that Iraq was an independent kingdom as of 1932, but it gained its independence as a state in 1958.

According to Hazan, Saddam Hussein has been a key member of the Baath coalition, Iraq's leading political party, since 1968, and he has been in complete control of the country since 1979.

He went on to say that the free flow of oil is the main motivation for U.S. involvement in the gulf area.

Hazan ended his talk with an

ominous warning about Saddam Hussein. "War can and must be avoided," he said. "If it comes, it will be quick and devastating, and Saddam Hussein will cause as much damage as possible."

Thobhani, director of the Insti­tute for Intercultural Studies and Services at MSCD, concurred with many points in Hazan' s assessment of U.S. policy and added to the list what he sees as other U.S. objec­tives.

"The U.S. has soughtto contain radical nationalism in the Arab world," Thobhani said. "Nasser, Khadaffi, Ayatollah Khomeini and others were anti-west. The U.S. also seeks to preserve the territorial status quo in the Middle East to maintain the stateoflsrael because

Auraria buildings' air quality questioned Julie Pezze The Metropolitan

Despite the Auraria Higher Education Center's recent attempts to solve some long-standing air quality problems, the air quality at St. Cajetan' s was tested last month following several employee com­plaints

SincetheopeningoftheAuraria Campus, there have been prob­lems with the ventilation systems on campus.

In the summer of 1977, com­plaints were made regarding high temperatures and lack of ventila­tion. The problems went unre­solved causing some employees to become ill and some classes to be cancelled.

AHEC appealed to the state f~~-Ol'capital construction funCisJ~icy the problems and was.grant~ ~xception to a 1973 governor' s ex..ecutive order that prohibited air conditioning in new . _,\

· construction. ' A chiller plant "".as constructed

in J 979, but only served to cool the Science, Library and Arts build­ings.

In April of 1988, an intermemo was sent to the vice president of Business Affairs on behalf of con­cerned employees. The intermemo was intended to provide data for additional air treatment system needs.

"Supervisors feel that absen­teeism is affected because em­ployees experience a higher de­gree of respiratory illness," the memo stated.

Eleven specific cases were mentioned and outlined in the memo. One employee was granted long-term disability after develop­ing severe allergies which doctors determined to be a direct result of the air system in the Arts Building.

In its conclusion, the intermemo said the working conditions were "inhumane."

In June of 1988, the auditors conducting an examination at Metropolitan State College of Denver reported the "quality of air was poor due to the fact we .would become ill in the building and re­covered when we walked out." It

was recommend that the college, "without hesitation," improve the quality of the arr for the Central, South and West classroom build­ings as well as for the Technology, Library and Science buildings. All of those building were also tar­geted in the intermemo.

AHEC's 1988-89 legislative capital construction budget re­quested funds that would bring "the remaining major campus buildings into compliance with current health codes for an adequate ventilation system."

The request was for $2.5 mil­lion for a new chiller plant project. St. Cajetan's, the Rectory, the Physical Education and Recreation Building and 11 of the Ninth Street houses were also included.

The legislature appropriated $2.6 million and the project,

except for the PER Building, was completed in May of this year.

St. Cajetan 's received "new di­rect expansion to its existing air handler."

But, last month, employees of the University of Colorado at Den­ver psychology department, housed at St. Cajetan 's, began complain­ing about the air quality.

Among the complaints were headaches and nausea. And two known CU-D psychology profes­sors vacated their offices because of the problem.

In a memo to his students, one professor cited, "most facu lty in St. Cajetan's have reported recur­rent health problems for over two years," as a reason for vacating his office.

He also added that the univer­sity has decided that it "is a health hazard for students to attend classes at the building." Both professors have relocated to other parts of the campus.

Dianne DeMars, a registered sanitarian at Denver Health and Hospitals Air Quality Environ­mental Protection Division, was asked by AHEC to test the chemi- ~

cal levels at St. Cajetan 's after some employee complaints.

CU-Dchemistry professor John Lanning also tested the Acetalde­hyde levels in the building. Acetal

~~ RIEFS Policy aids students called to Mid East Trial date set in Angeletti case

Charles E. Angeletti, 52, a ten­ured history professor at Metro­politan State College of Denver will go to court Dec. 3 to answer charges of destruction of private property, disturbing the peace and assault.

The charges stem from a May 12 incident in which Angeletti al­legedly assaulted MSCD student Katherine A. Lineberger, 23, with whom Angeletti had an ongoing relationship.

Lineberger also filed a sexual harassment complaint agairist Angeletti with the MSCD Equal Opportunity Office and a hearing date on those charges has yet to be set.

"We're trying now to get a hearing date set,: said PeICy A.

·Morehouse, Jr., director of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president.

The jury trial in the criminal case will be in Room 150 F in Denver District Court at 8:30 a.m. Angeletti pleaded not guilty.

Administrator struck by car

Yolanda Ericksen, director of Student Activities for Metropoli­tan State College of Denver, was injured in an off-campus accident on Nov. 6.

According to her secretary, Sandy Potter, Ericksen was wait­ing at a bus stop in southwest Denver when a car hit an ice patch and slid into her. Ericksen's right leg was broken below the knee and her left leg was bruised.

Laura Anderson The Metropolitan

Metropolitan State College of Denver students serving in the National Guard and the reserves, who are called up to join U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, have one less detail to worry about.

MSCD administrators have adopted a policy designed to help make the task of withdrawing from classes easier for those students.

"We want to help them make this transition go as smoothly as possible," said Alonzo F. Rodriguez, associate dean of Ad­missions and Records.

He went on to say that students called to duty in the Persian Gulf will have their tuition fully re­funded, and will be given an ad­ministrative withdrawal from the college.

Rodriquez said that if those students wish to receive an in-

AIR from page 1 dehyde is is an incomplete

combustible gas. Lanning said the preliminary

results of the levels tested were below what the Occupational Health Standards Administration allows.

But, he said, the levels in one of St. Cajetan'soffices was above the National Institute of Occupa­tional Safety and Health's pro­posed standards.

The level of Acetaldehyde in that office was 18 parts per billion as opposed to NIOSH standards

complete status for their courses - to continue them later - they would be allowed to do so, but tuition would not be refunded.

Rodriguez added that students called during the latter part of the semester may prefer taking the incomplete status - especially if they only have a few weeks of class left. When these students re­turn they may finish their require-ments.

To receive this consideration, Jhese students need to provide a copy of their orders to Rodriguez. He said that if the orders are un­available-due to military secrecy - then the students need to supply their point of contact at headquar­ters.

If all else fails, Rodriguez said, he can use his personal contacts. He serves as the Battalion Com­mander for the 217th Medical Bat­talion. He can be reached at the Office of Admission and Records in room 103 of the Central Class­room Building.

of only 16 parts per billion. But Lanning said that chemical Acet­aldehyde was the only one he tested. And AHEC has since run St. Cajetan' s ventilation fans 24 hours as opposed to the eight it was run­ning before.

Lanning also said some people dispute that OSHA' s standards are too high and NIOSH's is still re­viewing its standards for future governmental regulations.

CoPSHoP

So far, a few students have withdrawn from classes, but they received their orders much earlier in the semester, Rodriguez said.

Geri Reinardy, spokesperson for the Colorado Commission on Higher Education said, "MSCD is the only school in Colorado that has developed a formal policy." But she added that many schools are making exceptions for these students.

The CCHE has not issued a state-wide policy for this situation, but has conducted a survey on school procedure. They found that most schools grant full adminis­trative withdrawals with a refund, or they issue an incomplete status for coursework.

In addition, students are given special consideration on student loans. Dr. CherylJudson, MSCD's director of financial aid, said, ''There is no penalty to students that are called to the military ser­vice. It is beyond a person's con­trol; they have a military obliga-

and fungi in the basement at St. Cajetan's.

Micro-organisms from outside were compared with those from insi~ and nothing was found grow'mg, said Michele Rumbaugh, at Tri-County.

AHEC and CU-0 are involved in a joint venture to upgrade atmo­spheric testing equipment and standards for campus buildings, Lanning said.

Denver Health and Hospital's could not be reached for their chemical component test results.O

tion." She also said that, depending

on the status of their student loans, those serving in the Persian Gulf force would have a deferred pay­ment status on their loans.

The Colorado Student Loan Program offers an emergency military deferment plan for GSL borrowers in repayment, according to Sandy Brick, administrative clerk in the repayment service sec­tion of the Colorado Student Loan Program.

However, it applies only to those affected by the recent U.S. military mobilization.

The deferment program pro­vides a six-month delay in the pay­ment schedule. Brick said that most importantly, these borrowers need to contact their individual lenders and request this forbearance by telephone or in writing.

Brick added that spouses of those called to the Gulf may also be eligible for the forbearance status on their loans.

MIDDLE EAST from page 1 it is viewed as the only democratic country in the region."

Thobhani said that, because the United Nations is founded on a boundary system and the Iraqis accepted the system when it be­came a member nation, the U.N. now needs to follow rules.

He said the U.S. commitment in the Middle East as irreversible at this point, but said that military action should only involve remov­ing Iraq from Kuwait and that, until there is a solution to the Pal­estinian question, the Middle East will never enjoy peace. 0

On Oct. 30, Auraria PublicSafety Officer John Egan found a set of keys on the floor outside of the women's bathroom in the West Classroom Building.

Along with the three campus keys, one other key was also at­tached to the heart-shaped key ring with the letter "A" inscribed on it: Maybe the "A" stands for absent-minded or abyss.

Besides keys, a wallet was lost, then found by Isais Santovena.

From the description of the contents, a check-fetished, Boy Scout, computer-literate gentleman appears to be the owner.

Contents included: One pocket knife (when scissors just aren' t enough), two checkbooks (one brown and one green to add a little spice to life), and six computer disks.

Upon Palomares returning to the office Nov. 1 at 9 a.m., the phone was gone. The estimated value of the phone on the APS report was $300.

Speaking of black phones, an­other one was stolen from the of-

Student health i.nsurance brochure needs clarifying By Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

Last spring, Corbin Woodward was play­ing lacrosse with the Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver club team at the Air Force Academy when he was hit on the hand with a stick. His hand became swollen and, when the swellingdidn'tgodown,Corbin'swife,Sherry, took him to Swedish Medical Center's emer­gency room.

The Woodwards were covered at the time by health insurance purchased through the school.

Corbin's hand was shattered, Sherry said, and he had surgery April 12 to have a plate put in his hand. The plate was later removed in another operation at Porter Memorial Hospi-

tal. Although Porter is not a "preferred pro­

vider" in the student health plan, Corbin was sent there because Swedish Hospital had no space available.

Sherry said that, before the surgery was done, the Porter receptionist called the insur­ance office at MSCD and was told Corbin's operation would be "covered at 70 percent of his expenses.

After the surgery, the Woodwards received a letter from Porter saying that MSCD had refused their claim on the basis that the op­eration had occurred after the end of spring semester, and the Woodwards had not paid for insurance coverage over the summer.

They were angry because they thought the removal of the plate from Corbin's hand was a

"That pamphlet doesn't tell you squat." The policy pamphlet, available at the MSCD

Student Health Center, states that "coverage is effective on the first day of class(es) and is continued through the day prior to the com­mencement of the Summer Session."

It also states that 'Those students who are enrolled for spring semester health insurance have the option of purchasing the summer insurance coverage without attending classes provided they pay the premium at the business office by the date Listed in the summer class schedule."

Ron Veatch, director of Health and Coun­seling Services, said the policy booklet needs

to be more specific about the dates of cover­age.

"It can be confusing," Veatch said. "We're seriously thinking of, next year, going to a two-payment plan for spring and fall. We'll have to do better." Veatch also said Southland Life Insurance Company has a master policy, and that the brochure is "never the official policy."

A copy of the master policy "might clear up misunderstandings" if it was provided to students.

And where does that leave the Wood wards? Right now, making $20-monthly payments toward a bill that's more than $1,000.

"I would have rather paid $105 (the amount of the summer premium) than $1 ,200," Sherry said. CJ

Questions of racial bias raised at Conference Kristi James The Metropolitan

A tri-institutional racial harassment con­ference held at the Auraria Campus pro­vided a forum f~r students and faculty where criticism was hurled at college administra­tions and The Metropolitan.

The Nov. 2 event began with the viewing of a nation-wide teleconference, "Enhanc­ing Campus Community," and was followed by a discussion among faculty, staff and students from the University of Colorado at Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and the Community College of Denver.

According to Antonio Esquibel, vice president of Student Affairs, it was the first time all three institutions had met to discuss racial harassment and intimidation on campus.

Although campus administrations were criticized as well, most of the discussions centered on coverage of students of color by The Metropolitan.

MSCD Black Student Alliance members were very critical of what they perceived to be continued negative coverage of their organization in the The Met.

Last spring, the BSA staged a protest, which included picketing The Met, against various college organizations for what they claimed was the unfair treatment of minori­ties.

BSA members met in August with jour­nalism department representatives and, ac­cording to BSA adviser Jennifer Jackson, the

She also said that one of her complaints about The Met was the attitude of Dave Plank, last year's editor in chief.

"I do not like Dave Plank's influence on the paper," Calderon said. "The Met is a sounding board for Dave's philosophy."

However, Lenway said that Pl~ is a columnist this year, and he is only at the paper about one hour each week.

"If Ms. Calderon had checked the mast­head lately, it would be clear to her what my influence on the paper is," Plank said. "But I appreciate her exaggerated perception of my importance."

One of the demands that the alliance made following last year's protest was for The Met to "implement a weekly Student of Color column with contributing writers of color."

"There are no rules saying they can't have their own newspaper," Lenway said.

During the panel discussion, allegations of racially motivated coverage were made. An example cited by the panelists was The Met' s story about a Sept. 27 shooting on campus that stemmed from arguments that began at a meeting of CCD's alliance.

"If it is at all negative, they (the BSA) would want us to kill the story," Williams said. "If there is a shooting on campus we' re going to cover it no matter who is involved."

Both Lenway and Williams emphasized that the door is always open at The Met if anyone wishes to submit stories.

According to Lenway, 45 percent of last year's newspaper articles addressed issues concerning students of color.

Minorities account for 13 percent of MSCD enrollment, according to a recent accountability report from the Office of Institutional Research at MSCD.

Esquibel said that MSCD is viewed by the state as doing a good job of handling racial issues. Last spring, MSCD President Thomas Brewer established a task force on racism. The task force committee had two goals which were drafting a policy on racial harassment and developing a survey to as­sess the racial environment on campus. The committee achieved its goals and was dis­solved, Esquibel said.

MSCD's legal council is reviewing the draft policy and plans to hold hearings to include students' input.

Percy Morehouse Jr., director of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president, said that, if students have input on the policy, they will feel closer to it.

"The three institutions need to collabo­rate," Morehouse said. "Since we share the same campus, we have to work together."

Colleges and · universities across the country are discussing policies and ways to handle racism. According to the videotape, 68 percent of large university presidents cited racism as a problem.

J?articipants in the discussion said that racism today is more subtle Than the overt racism of past years.

Duane Smith, a student at CU-D, said that overt forms of racism are not a problem on campus, but the problem is institutional racism.

"We would have to overhaul the entire system of Metro and CU-D," Smith said. "It is evident that problems exist - especially in recruitment and retention." 0

MSCD students experience London life LIVEMUSICONSATUADAYNITES

Holly Hall The Metropolitan

LONDON - London, steeped with tra­dition, royalty and pomp, has proven to offer culture shock as well, to travelers from Met­ropolitan State College of Denver's London Semester program.

On the pavement, they've painted which direction pedestrians need to look when crossing the street. This is because the British drive on what, for us, would be the wrong side of the street.

Many in the group have come close to being mowed down, not only on the street, but also in the grocery store. The grocery carts move sideways as well as forward and backward. The result is something of a grocery store demolition derby.

Food labels list energy instead of calories. The subway is called the Tube because a "subway" is an underground crosswalk which usually leads you to the Underground, which is called the Tube.

MSCD students are offered the opportunity of enjoying Brittish sites as well as learning by traveling via the London Semester program.

The sidewalk is the pavement. An elevator is a lift. You don't line up, you queue up. The list

goes on ... The museums, plays and pubs among

other storybook-like edifices provide infinite diversions. There's never a dull moment. 0

CLUBS BRIEFS National Hunger and Homeless Week

The weekofNov.12kicksoff National Hunger and Homeless Week, and Metro­politan State College of Denver clubs will p~icipate in Auraria Share with CU-D and CCD. Auraria Share is a week of events to benefit homeless programs in. the, Denver metro area.

Outreach Coalition Metro Outreach Coalition is a new club

and is affiliated with the Campus Outreach Opportunity League.

Sophomores Mary Uhl, president, and Ashara Walker, vice-president, said they plan to be very busy. Walker said the club wants to focus on the environment, AIDS, and hungry and homeless people.

Walker said Metro Outreach Coalition is planning awareness activities on campus for the National Hunger and Homeless Month with CoPIRG and the History Club. On Nov. 15, the club will volunteer in a soup line on campus. The idea, Walker

said, is to make students aware of homeless and hungry people by donating coins from their pockets and purses for a bowl of soup.

The Metro Outreach Coalition co-advis­ers are Akbarali Thobhani from the Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services, and C.J. White from the Division of Social Sci­ences. For more information, call 5 56-2934.

Human Service Educa­tion Organization

Human Service Education Organization mem~rs dedicate many hours as part of their human service education.

Charles Branch, the club adviser from the Division of Public Service Profession­als, said the club addresses social concerns such as the current rise in teen-age suicide.

"We require every one of our students to be out in the real world," Branch said. That real world includes places such as juvenile facilities, nursing homes, adult day-care centers and battered women's shelters, he said.

"Each student must do 16 semester hours of practicum, which equals 600 hours in the community, working in facilities," Branch

Richard Tinsley and Linda Keenan are the student co-presidents. For more infor­mation, call 556-8358.

Circle K club The Circle K club is affiliated with the

Kiwanis Club. President Nancy Cyrus said Circle K" provides fellowship, and helps members become leaders.

FILM

Quincy Jones' 'Listen Up' not easy listening Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan

At first, the documentary "LISTEN UP: The Lives of Quincy Jones" is like a jolting airplane ride that makes your stomach lurch and has you reaching for the Pepto-Bismol.

The first 20 minutes of the film are chopped into overly produced, jangling, MTV-type frames. Blurred, unbalanced film clips of Jones' journey back to the Chicago ghetto neighborhood, where be was born in 1933, take viewers on a game of leap frog through his reminiscences about childhood.

But once Jones talks through his anxiety about being left by a mentally ill mother when be was just a child, the film shifts gears, hits its cadenc~ and you suddenly feel good. Very good.

"LISTEN UP" erupts into a lush collage of music, voice and photography. Dozens of musical greats including Lionel Hampton, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis, along with t~eir youthful counterparts Michael Jackson, Kool Moe Dee and lce-T, talk about the favorable effect Jones has had in their lives.

"It's about recycling energy,"Jones tells the camera. "Taking that energy within you and turning it into something positive."

dent photographers overlay the stream of music pulsing through the film between and during the interviews.

And pulse it does. The music is the best part of "LISTEN

UP," and it effectively erases the initial stumbling minutes.

The camera catches artists and musicians laying down session tracks in the studio under the expert piloting of Jones. He seethes with intensity as he pulls deep, burnished vocals out of singer/lyricist Siedah Garrett. Then the scene shifts and Jones' face is all light and energy as he directs 13-year-old

Tevin Campbell, an early Michael Jackson­era sound-alike. Campbell is now co-star­ring in Prince' s new movie "Graffiti Bridge."

The Cherry Creek theater's THX digital sound system remains sparkling clear when the setting switches to Jones directing the boisterous USA For Africa ensemble as they put together their anthem "We Are the World." When the sound drops to a hushed and darkened studio where El DeBarge, James Ingram, Al B. Sure! perfect their smoky seduction song ' 'The Secret Gar­den," the THX system radiates every lan­guorous breath drawn by the singers.

"When they leap without a net or a para­chute, that ' s when the good stuff happens," Quincy Jones says about the artists he's spent a lifetime with. Leaping is something Jones knows about.

He started as a young !Jumpet player in Lionel Hampton's band and moved to ar­ranger, launching Lesley Gore with hits such as " It' s My Party" and "She' s A Fool."

Jones followed bis early success at ar­ranging by becoming a band leader and later the scorer of films including "In the Heat of the Night" and " In Cold Blood." His asso­ciation as producer of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" made his name a household word, then he dove into film, producing "The Color Purple" from the book by Alice Walker.

According to "The Color Purple" direc-

tor Steven Spielberg, Jones affects everyone around him because he is like "a spray gun of love."

The artists whom Jones adopted and nur­tured along the way toss accolades in his path, but the film is blunt in showing the cost of Jones' career on his family - his three ex-wives, his many children and even him­self.

He and his fellow black artists talk about enduring racism and prejudice in the past and as it exists today, particularly in the United States.

Graphic scenes narrated by Jones show a skull being opened surgically. The ridged scars running down Jones ' forehead are the result of two operations performed on him for life-threatening aneurysms which his daughter Jolie Jones believed came about in part because of his intense work scbedule.

Jolie may be right. As the title song "LISTEN UP" fades with the final credits, all but the closest followers of Jones' career will be left in awe at the compendium of work he's amassed and the scale of influ­ence Jones has had on the world of contem­porary music.

It's not always an easy ride, but "LIS­TEN UP" is definitely worth the fare.

"LISTEN UP" is in a limited exclusive engagement at the Cherry Creek theaters in Denver and at the Arapahoe Village theater in Boulder. 0

OP/ED Loosely speaking

Dial-a-porn and politics make strange bedfellows Dave Plank

"What are you, a weirdo or something?" Well, maybe, I don't know, I guess I have the same

hang-ups as anybody else, you know? But that's not what I called my hot and willing dial-a-porn dream babe to talk about. I wanted to talk politics.

"I can't believe you actually called me to talk about that. Do you know how much this call costs?"

"It doesn't matter," I reassured her. "This is legiti­mate research for my doctoral thesis on the Perception of Late Twentieth Century Geopolitics by those with Nonstandard Employment Roles. Besides, I'm calling from work."

"Oh." "So," I began. "What are you going to do if Jesse

Helms loses his Senate race and we see the first black senator from the South since the Reconstruction? Do you think that would be indicative of a societal move back to the left, or are those people in North Carolina just embarrassed?"

"You call up and spend $25 of your boss's money to ask me that? Do you need a woman, or what? You must be awfully bored, handsome."

I told her that no, I didn't need a woman, thank you, and wondered how she could call me "handsome" without having seen me. It must be some skill she developed after months on the job. Kind of a sixth sense or something. Or maybe that's just what they call everybody.

"Anyway, what I'm really trying to find out here," I

persevered, "is-do you feel that you've been alien­ated by your elected officials? Do you think they truly have your best interests at heart, or is it all just.empty rhetoric?"

"Well okay, you sicko, if this is your kink, I guess I'll go along with it. I think they're all full of shit."

"In other words, then, you don't think that the right kind of people become interested in political careers."

"I guess not." "Good," I said, relieved at the small measure of

progress my Fantasy Queen had decided to afford me. "On to something else. Do you think that the acquittal of 2 Live Crew signifies a kind of up-in-arms intolerance of intolerance, as it were?"

"You know, I was at a party once and I heard part of that album, and I think it was awful."

"Really. What offended you about it? "It just seemed like everytime they mentioned a

woman, it was only to talk about sex, you know? Like that was all women are good for or something. It made me sick."

"Hmm. Interesting. But do you think that justifies government censorship?"

"I guess not." "Are you planning to vote in this election?" "Well, I'd like to, but it sort of depends on my

roomate. I will if she gets her Plymouth fixed by then. I need it to get to the polls."

"Well , let's say her Plymouth's running like a top come Election Day. Will you step into the voting machine-"

"They just have those ballots with the dots you punch out where I vote.·

"Okay. Will you step up to that little booth where you punch out the dots feeling like you're ready to make an educated, well-thought-out decision?"

"I guess so. I mean, I don'tthink it really matters, you know? Why should I spend hours and hours trying to decide which guy's less of an asshole?"

"So you think that elections have degenerated into contests where the best the electorate can hope for is the lesser of two evils?"

"I guess so." "Interesting. What I'm getting from you is a sense of

quiet frustration, a sort of longing to make a difference dashed by the solemn recognition that all the power now rests with special interests and the common person has no voice. Is that about right?"

"You know, that's exactly right. Talk all you want about 2 Live Crew and Jesse Helms and censorship and the budget and everything else, but you know what I see? I see what started out as a great idea, the Jeffersonian Democracy, slowly being pushed aside in favor of a political system that rewards incompetence and wishy-washiness. I mean, it's like George Will says, like the Federalist Papers were written on toilet paper, you know? And then just flushed down the toilet. Something needs to be done, or this great experiment we call freedom will fall in on itself like a cheesecake in an earthquake."

"Wow. Okay. One more thing. I need to get your name, so that if I make reference to you in my thesis more than once the professor will know who I'm talking about."

"Oh, sure. Kandy Kane. With Ks."

GUEST EDITORIAL

Minority recruitment program akin to slavery practices Dear Administration,

This is in response to a policy that can best be described as absurd. That policy being the award of $5,000 to each department for every minority faculty that it hires. Although the intention is righteous, the method is deplorable.

Correct me if I am wrong but, didn't the United States once practice the employment of minorities for a price? Not just their employment, but a lifetime contract for one low price.

I truly believe and would like to believe that we have left these practices in the fields, the memories and the pain of Gettysburg, Antietam and the who1e of the South during the civil war. Let us not bring them back upon us now.

Criticism is easily given and easily discarded but, an . alternative answer is an idea.

What about hiring minority graduates from within the swelling ranks of the students here at Auraria?

What about offering scholarships to minority appli­cants from local high schools?

What about using the money to make an honest attempt at doing something about racism?

What about anything besides a painful reminder of throwing money at a problem before they identify the slavery? root of that problem. Treating symptoms is not going to

We must learn from our history to avoid repeating its mistakes.

To advertise to minorities that the school is willing to pay $5,000 to a department if that department will hire a minority is degrading. An individual employed under this program is subject to the guilt and wonder of whether or not they were good enough to make the grade (literally) without such a policy.

Awarding a department $5,000 for hiring a minority employee assumes that the employee is inferior in the first place. Moreover, the policy would seem to benefit a department that has a history of low minority hiring.

I believe a teacher is a special sort of an individual who does what they do because they must. They have a drive to educate and share their love of life and the world with anybody willing to listen, read, study etc.

They are paid a pittance as it is, why not divvy up the $5,000 among those on the front line with the students, rather than giving it to a department which must answer to the same administration that implemented the policy in the first place? The alternatives to this poorly thought out plan are endless.

It seems to be another example of bureaucracy

help. We must treat the disease.

Hiring minorities is necessary to ease the tensions of racism in America. It is necessary to encourage because of a lack of representation of minorities in the upper strata of our society.

We need to take an active role in diffusing the time bomb of prejudice and racism in America. The test we have before us more important than any exam we shall ever take, it is a test to see if the greatest nation on earth can truly be the great melting pot and not a coagulated brew of black and white.

A policy such as the one the school now adopts is walking a fine line on a razor's edge. How long can we balance before someone slips? How long before someone gets cut?

A cut on this razor is sure to open an old wound that still festers. I am afraid it will not be long before this policy does more harm than good. Surely at an institu­tion of higher learning such as Auraria some more thought could be put into such decisions. We, myself and my fellow students, deserve better.

Voter activism required for good representation The election is over and now there will be some r1ew

faces and some old, in the game of politics. Now that the campaigns are over, the incessant commercials are finished and the votes have been cast, what is to be done?

The promises have been made, but will they be kept Only an eternal optimist would thin so. However, the obligations of those we the People have elected re­main.

Our civic responsibility does not end with the cast­ing of our vote. It is up to us to hold those elected to owe up to their duty to us the state, and the nation.

All too often, once a vote is cast, the voter simply turns away from the arena of politics and sits back trusting that the politicians will do what's right. Let's face it, they rarely do.

By Brian Larson

Our responsibility as citizens does not end with our vote? it begins. It is up to us to keep on the backs of the politicians to ensure they live up to ·their duty to our nation. Our power as the populous does not end with the pulling of the switch. We can write call, protest organize, and generally annoy the polit icians until they get off their collective over-paid butts and do what is necessary for America

Only one thing is needed. We must get off our own COMPLACENT BUTTS and stay active in politics. It is never up to them it is up to us to remind them of their duty.

Veteran's Day honors spread too thin Editor, .

This Veterans Day, as Metro State student Activi­ties fees are spent celebrating and glorifying the U.S. military response in the Middle East, while one peace proposal after another is ignored, l~t us realize that another battle is being waged here in America, that is . the war for peace.

This Veterans Day, as historical whitewashers con­tinue to portray all of U.S. involvement in past wars as moral and just, let us remember the millions and millions of Southeast Asians who were killed, wounded, and refugeed in our last 'moral and just war.' Let us remember the two to three thousand Panamanian civilians killed in an invasion to remove a dictator that the U.S. had supported for years.

This Veterans Day, as military and paramilitary clubs and organizations attempt to lay claim to sole ownership in the American fight for freedom, let us rememberthe vast number of Americans who've fought, resisted and died in order to win many of the freedoms we now have. Let us rememberth women who suffered abuse, prison and death to gain their right to vote. Let us remember the hundreds of slave rebellions prior to the Civil War where blacks were tortured, mutilated and killed in their fight to be free. Let us rememberthe students killed at Jackson and Kenbt State as they struggled for civil rights and peace. Let us remember the American Indian Movement that arose in the '60s and fights on even today, trying to right the U.S. sanctioned robbery and merder, often enforced by U.S. Armed Forces. These Armed Forces are part of the history of Veterans we are commemorating on this Veteran's Day. Thomas Mestnik MSCD student

Minority Mentoring

Program offers students more than tutoring Tammy Pacheco The Metropolitan

Even though the correct title is Minority Mentoring Program, it's not just a program for minority students.

"The program started in 1987 and it was targeted towards the minority freshmen and sophomores, buy now we try and reach all freshmen who need our help," said Ashara Walker, student coordinator of the Minority Mentoring Program.

The program is designed so that juniors and seniors act as mentors to freshmen and sophomores.

According to Walker, the program is a big-sister big-brother type program that helps the underclassmen in the classroom as well as out of the classroom.

"The idea of the program is to help fresh­men maintain a good grade point average for those freshmen who participate," Walker

lleMis Snits/The Metropolitan

Ashara Walker

'We don't tell them how to spend their two hours, but we do make sure that they did have contact for two hours a week.'

said.

Junior mentor James Jones said, "I think it's very important that freshmen have someone to turn to for help with their school work, but it's just as important for them to have a sense of belonging."

Mentors are required to have a GPA of 2.5 or better. Once they are chosen, all mentors participate in a training session conducted by the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs.

"The training sessions are very informa­tive, and they help give the mentors an outline of what is expected of them," Walker said.

According to Walker, mentors must spend two hours a week with their protege.

"We don't tell them how to spend their two hours together, but we do make sure that they did have contact for two hours a week," Walker said. ·

Xaiver Pol, a sophomore in the program,

said he and his mentor meet two times a week at the library. The program also offers activities such as movies, guest speakers, dinners, sports and cultural activities that can be counted as part of the two hours.

"I meet with my two proteges - and if I can't tutor them, I find someone who can," Jones said.

Moneke DeBouse and her mentor meet for lunch once a week and Moneke said she really appreciates all the help she receives.

"It's nice to have someone to turn to whose already been through it all - like financial aid," DeBouse said.

Walker assigns the mentors to the prote­ges by majors, interest, ethnic backgrounds, hobbies and available time.

According to Walker, mentors receive stipend scholarships of $250 each semester.

"They (mentors) get money for their work, but it's not always an easy job," Walker said.

Talent Showcase

Stand up and be funny Susan Kientz The Metropolitan

What do Michael Jackson and Mr. Potato Head have in common? They're always changing their noses and their chins, ac­cording to professional comedian Kevin Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald, along with comedian Paul "downtown" Brown, entertained about 75 to 100 people with jokes and fun Nov. 1 at the Mission on the Auraria Campus Nov. 1.

Fitzgerald, who works as a veterinarian, included some pet humor in his act. "I mean do you really think your dog cares what his breath smells like?" he asked.

On the other hand, Brown makes a living as a comedian. He said he wasn't the class clown in school, but when be sees old class­mates they agree Brown is the perfect comic.

Asked why be enjoys stand up comedy, Brown replied, "It's the most exciting way of performing, .sort of like stripping."

The mission will be hosting the "New Talent Showcase," every Thursday after­noon through Nov. 15. Amateur comedians may open their act and win the chance to

compete in a final competition at the end of November.

The showcase is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan State College of Denver Stu­dent Activities and the University of Colo­rado at Denver Events Board as part of their fall comedy series.

Professional comedians aren' t part of the competition, but have performed guest ap­pearances at the Mission as part of the series.

Each week since the series began this fall, amateur comedians have been compet­ing for the stand-off comedy routine, which will be on Thursday, Nov. 29 at the Mission.

The judges for the competition are from "W estword" and the Paramount Theatre. • The winner of the standoff routine will win a free dinner for two at the Paramount The­atre, a $100 gift certificate from the Auraria Book Center and a T-shirt.

But that's not all the winner will receive. The winner of the stand-off will also get the opportunity to be the opening act at the Paramount Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 6. Comedians Rosie O'Donnel and Richard Jeni, from music television station VH-1, will headline the evening.

So if your friends always tell you you're funny, here is your chance to work with the professionals and win some prizes too! 0

SPORTS A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Success breeds more success, but it also makes for higher expectations. And expec­tations can sometimes lead to disappoint­ments.

After last season, the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team will have a whale of a chore in trying to live up to those expectations and trying to avoid disappointment.

The main obstacle for the 'Runners in 1990-91 will be the "snowball effect."

The snowball what, you say? At the beginning of last season, no one

could have imagined what that team had in store for MSCD.

A dream season is what happened. A 28-4 record, rising to No. 2 in the national rankings of Division II, Gene Edwards re­ceiving the coveted Sports illustrated Player of the Week for small colleges. What a splendid season.

The 'Runners cruised through the first part of the season virtually un-noticed. Rip­ping through opponents like a tornado

Basketball season means snowball season through Limon, the 'Runners began to get a few hmrnm's.

This team isn't too bad. They sure can put the numbers on the board. Maybe we should go watch them play. The rumblings were beginning. Good rumblings, inquisitive rumblings, curious rumblings.

The snowball was now forming. By the time Edwards won the SI award, the 'Run­ners were indeed living up to their nick­name. They were off and running.

Now the snowball was picking up speed. The Roadrunners were picking up fans and their opponents were picking up the pieces.

By the end of the regular season, the snowball was becoming enormous and it was headed for North Dakota. The 'Runners were in the playoffs and near the top of the rankings. By season's end, MSCD regis­tered four packed houses to watch the run­and-gun Roadrunners.

Unfortunately their dream came to a crashing conclusion on the North Dakota hardwood during the Division II regional

playoffs. The 'Runners were beaten by the University of North Dakota.

But was the snowball that the 'Runners and their fans had been riding since mid­season destroyed? Or is the snowball still intact waiting for this season?

In all likelihood the snowball is in one piece, ready to be mounted for another fren­zied ride of Roadrunner basketball.

With the loss of Edwards and Shun Tillman, the 'Runners will be hard pressed to duplicate last season. What's worse, people may be expecting to be taken on that delirious championship run this year as well.

Hopefully the fans and students will be patient.

With the loss to the more experienced andextrememly big Mexican National Team Nov. 5, the 'Runners made a respectable showing. Their opponents looked more li)ce a forest of redwoods than a basketball team; however the 'Runners hung.tough and fost 101-79.

With the new Colorado Athletic Confer­ence, the 'Runners will have some easy dates on the schedule, but they'll have some tough games as well - the University of Southern Colorado and the University of Denver. The 'Runners won't have Alaska­Anchorage to worry about this season, which is a shame. Last season when these teams got together sparks would fly and the result ..:_ regardless of who won - was a great game.

Even in the world of small colleges, rivalries are fantastic. A match-up between MSCD and Alaska-Anchorage would be the perfect match to keep the snowball from melting.

If the snowball melts it can always be started again.

The main factor is that, after last season, MSCD now bas a strong, competitive men's basketball program.

And with a strong program you will always have a snowballs chance in ____ to win. 0

Player, coach winning combination for 'Runners Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan

Jennifer Drees brought to Denver her curiosity, determination and an National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All­American title.

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver women's volleyball player transferred here after two years at Montana Tech Uni­versity in Butte, MT, where her coach was Rhonda Mc~ullen. Sound familiar? McMullen now coaches the MSCD team.

Drees said the biggest adjustment has been getting to know people. She finds the atmosphere at MSCD Jess friendly than Montana Tech, and said that being at a commuter school doesn't give students the opportunity for closeness.

"It's like being a freshman again," she said. At Montana Tech, a school of about 2,000 students, "everybody knows every­body else. Here, it's more difficult to meet people."

. Drees grew up in California, where her

main hobby was dirt biking with her family. who still lives there.

Coming to Colorado, she said, was one of the biggest decision she's made.

"It was ·the worst time I've ever gone through - there was so much stress in­volved in the decision," she said.

Drees said transferring to MSCD had more to do with personal reasons than aca­demic ones.

"I came more for myself than academics. There's absolutely nothing going on in Butte and I still wanted to play volleyball."

The fact that McMullen also transferred to MSCD from Montana Tech did have an affect on Drees' decision.

"I'm the quarterback out there, and she (McMullen) believes in me," she said. "Having to switch to a new coach halfway through my collegiate career would be dif­ficult."

So Drees asked to be released from her scholarship at Montana Tech so she could be

immediately eligible to play at MSCD. She brought with her an NAIA All-American honor, and said she'd like to shoot for those honors at MSCD.

"Playing in NCAA Division II is more competitive, " she said. "There are a Jot more good athletes in this division."

McMullen believes she can do it. "Basically it comes from the heart,"

McMullen said. "(Drees) reached her All­American goal at Tech as a sophomore and now I'm trying to get her more goal-oriented here."

Drees said she often finds herself helping the team get used to the new coach and the new system.

''The whole system is the same for me, but new for all of them," Drees said. "I believe so much in what (McMullen) is doing, and I try to help the team adjust."

"Sbe knows my philosophy and the way I do things," McMulJen said. "I think she'll come in next year very prepared, and with a lot more confidence."

Where can I get a copy-quick-here on campus?

Drees said she thinks the team will really come together next year, and she sees her­self as one of the leaders.

''This year everyone was 'ify' as to who should take control. By next year we'll know each other better, and those who should lead will step out-I hope to be one of them." 0

Gary Wiiiiams The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver men's basketball team have a tall order facing them this season and Nov. 5 they were faced with an even taller task when they played the Mexican National Team.

The Roadrunners were defeated in their season opener by the much bigger Olympic team from Mexico 101-79.

The National Team was led by 6-foot-6-inch guard Jose Luis Arroyo who scored 35 points in the game including a 5 out of 7 from the 3-point line.

The National Team finished the game with a combined 10-18 from the 3-point stripe.

The 'Runners were sharp in the first half led by senior spark plug Adrian Hutt. After converting a 4-point play, Hutt twice scored on drives to the basket hitting shots over 7-foot-2-inch center, Antonio Reyes to give MSCD an 18-17 lead.

The 'Runners then fell behind 31-26, but mounted an attack fueled by 3-pointers from junior forward Darin Dahl and senior guard Kirk Smith to lead 36-35 with 5 :22 left in the half.

That was the last lead the 'Runners would hold. The Mexican nationals outscored MSCD 13-4 in the last 3:56 of the half and

second half. The Mexican team forced the under-sized 'Runners into an outside shooting game, where they shot only 44 percent from the field.

When the shots didn't fall, MSCD was outrebounded47-22,including 17 offensive rebounds for the Mexican nationals. Reyes collected seven offensive boards, 13 total, to lead the Mexican team. He also added 15 points.

The 'Runners were led in scoring by Hutt who finished with 16 points. The 5-foot-9-inch Hutt also dished out seven assists. I uni or T.J. Milan totaled 15 points and senior Ralph Rivers scored 14.

Tim Moser, a transfer from Alaska-An­chorage, scored 10 points and grabbed a team high six rebounds in his MSCD debut.

Moser, who prepped at Denver's Lutheran High School, said it was great to be back in Denver. "It feels good to play in front of my parents," he said.

The Mexican National Team's experience as an international team, which emphasizes the 3-point shot and physical play, was evi­dent during the game.

Arturo Guerrero, the Mexican national head coach, said the team won an interna­tional tournament in Taiwan. The July tour­nament featured tel!JllS from the U.S., Fin­land, Poland and Korea.

Luis F. Gomez-Ibarra, the director of the Mexican Basketball Federation, said that the team will play Regis College, the Uni­versity ofNorthem Colorado, Colorado State University and the University of Denver while they're in Colorado.

The biggest impression the Mexican team left on the MSCD players was their team­work. "They are a very good team; they play well together," Moser said.

Hutt said that MSCD needs a lot of work to come together as a team. "Our chemistry is not there yet, but we have a few weeks off before conference games," he said.

The 'Runners' next game is Nov. 16 against Langston University from Okla. and will be played at DU at 5 p.m. 0

MSCD wins CAC tourney; snubbed by NCAA Jim Mack The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver men's soccer team defeated the Uni­versity of Denver Pioneers 3-1 Nov. 3 to win the Colorado Athletic Conference tourna­ment championship.

Following the game, bead coach Dennis Daly and his team waited for word from the NCAA post-season selection committee to see if they would be invited to the tournament. The call never came.

Greg Smith, sports information director at MSCD, said that there is a fine line be­tween advancing to the NCAA tournament and turning in the equipment for the year.

"(MSCD) was rated fifth. They only took the top three in the Western Regional," Smith said. "If you look back at the season, all of the losses were by one goal and a few of those were in overtime. With a little luck, we could have had 14or15 wins. But don't take anything away from the teams accom­plishments."

The Roadrunners finished the season with an 8-2 record in the CAC and a 12-5-1 record overall. The 12 wins are a new MSCD

school record. MSCD got goals from Tim Yunger, Matt

Okoh and Adam Smith to take a 3-0 lead over the Pioneers to coast to the conference title.

Senior forward Tim Yunger set a school record this season with 18 goals.

Yunger seemed shocked when it sank in that he became MSCD's all-time leading scorer for one season.

"I didn't think that I was ever meantto be a scorer," Yunger said.

Daly has recognized Yunger's talents all year long.

''Tim has tremendous ability and he has

great balance and coordination," Daly said of his team captain.

MSCD outscored their opponents this season 49 to 21 and goalies Tom Vermilye and Mike Najar combined for a l.16 goals­against average on the year. They shut out the opponent on five different occasions.

After Yunger, the majority of the scoring came from Okoh and Smith-they finished the season with 23and14 points respectively.

Yunger said that he knew all along that this year's team would have great success.

"We had good starters and a good bench," Yunger said. "Once we started winning, I knew we could do it." 0

Women's soccer ends season with tournament win Jim Mack The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver women's soccer team became champi­ons of the Colorado Athletic Conference Nov. 3 after they defeated the University of Denver 3-1 in the CAC Tournament.

The Roadrunners didn't receive a bid from the NCAA Division II selection com­mittee so their season is now over.

Junior forward Bridgette Leisure scored two goals to set the tone for the Roadrun­ners. MSCD finished the season with an 11-8-1 mark under sixth-year head coach Ed

Montojo. The Roadrunners trailed 1-0 before Lei­

sure scored an unassisted goal to tie the score. Before halftime, Leisure set up Tanya Sangaline for her third goal of the year, that gave MSCD a 2-1 lead at the intermission.

Leisure would add one more goal on a penalty kick late in the game to end the DU' s chances for a comeback.

Montojo said that, before the season, it was hard to figure which direction the team would go.

"This was a rebuilding year for us be­cause we lost nine players," Montojo said. "We were a freshman~dominated team."

Montojo also recognized Leisure's suc­cess as a key to the team's achievements.

"We had some injuries to some forwards so the burden fell on Bridgette's shoulders," he said.

Leisure finished the season with 23 goals and three assists for a school record 49 points. She broke the 1985 record of 43 points set by Tonja Ridgeway. Leisure also broke the school record of 17 goals in a single season.

Sophomore Sabina Ueblacker finished with seven goals and a team-leading six assists for 20 points, while junior Stephanie Price tallied four goals and three assists for 11 points.

Montojo said that goal tending played a key role in his team's success. Sophomore Lisa Baskall finished with an 11-8-1 record at the net and freshman Kelly Johannes backed

Trying to stretch dollars when you're computer shopping doesn't mean you're willing to make sacrifices.

her up and finished with a0.39 goals-against average. The two combined for a 1.57 GAA. Baskall ended the season with five shutouts.

For Montojo and his team, defeating the DU Pioneers left a lasting impression. It was their third victory over DU this year.

"It's tough to beat a team twice, let alone three times," Montojo said. "But we did it and that's an accomplishment."

After the victory Montojo told his team that he believed that they were the best small college women's soccer team in Colorado. He also said that the team accomplished all of their pre-season goals.

"Our main goal was to play better at the end of the season than at the beginning," Montojo said. "We also wanted our young players to mature and they certainly did." 0
