Presidential candidate, Stefanie Vassilaros, a member of the Student Em!X)WenTient ticket said the Student Government Assembly should get outside the offices to create a community within the campus. Vas.silaro5 said she would bring clubs together to work together as one and to make Metro the best school in the nation.

Vassilaro5 is the current attorney general of the student government and said the student government needs to respect the opinions of the various people on the as.sembly.

"Many people dropped out in the past because of the grades, we need to have a support group, and help out with tutoring," Vas.silaro.s said.

Government elections to be held online By Ann Acker The Metropolitan

Students will be able to cast votes online in Metro's Student Government Assembly election next month. The~ site for online voting is www.mscd.edu, said

Kari Tutwiler, as.sociate director of Student Activities. Computers are available in the Auraria library for students who do not have access to a computer otherwise. Voters will need their student ID numbers to participate in online voting. Election workers will be on hand at the library to help students who have problems or questions while voting online. Students will be able to begin voting at 8 a.m. on April 3. Voting ends at noon April 7.

Voting online is "an example of the wonderful services that are possible with some collaborative efforts on campus," said ?.av Dadabhoy, director of Student Activities. Dadabhoy said the Election Commission, the Information Technology department and Student Activities worked on the online voting~ site since early January. The~ site co.st nothing to the student Election Commission, he said.

"We are on the cutting edge of technology and Metro is keeping up with the technology initiative," Dadabhoy said.

In last year's election, 635 students turned ouc to vote for the Student Government Assembly. Tutwiler and Dadabhoy said chey hope the convenience of the online program will entice more students to vote.

Metro student Lindsey Barnhart said voting online is Mark SlratfonVlbe Metropolitan a good idea because it would be easier for students to

thelll.5elves and of the school. "The administration needs to look at the

students and the students need to bring their voices to the administration," Vassilaros said. "We need face-to-face contact between the administration and the students."

Vassilaros said the student government members have to know the issues and make sure the students know the issues in order to bring the issues to the administration.

"We have to know the issues and present the issues to the students," said Matthew Roberts a member of the Student Advocates ticket and presidential candidate. Seeing the old Tivoli AMC Theater rented out, the mulitcultural programs enlarged, the campus made more accessible to students with disabilities and to have the student government get out of the office and work with the students on campus are some of the things Roberts would like to see accomplished if he is elected.

Respectability, professionalism and the ability to work together are three ideas he used to describe the goals he feels he has to be a good president of the student government.

"We (the Student Advocates ticket) have long-term views, not just short-term views," Roberts said. Not letting members get burned out, every member working together as a whole and to all have respectable working relationships v.~th each member are the goals he has for retaining the entire student government for the year~ong term, Roberts said. Implementing a comments section on the Metro Web site where if a student leaves a question, the student government will return a response, guaranteed, Roberts said. The assembly has to know the issues themselves and then explain the issues simply to the students to get input back and then present the issues to the

administration with the students, he said. Unopposed candidate Tracy Rhines a

member of the Student Empowerment ticket, vice president for administration and finance candidate said we need to set up a network between dubs and organiz.ations so the student government can bring everyone together and solicit opinions from the students.

"Me joining SGA - I can have a positive effect to make things better, Metro can be the best college in Colorado," Rhines said. He said he would like to set up a network between cluhs and organiz.ations so the student

government can bring everyone together and solicit opinions. "Everyone on campus has power, (and) can use that power to get things done," Rhines said. "I Want people to understand, we (Student Empowerment ticket) are not just blowing hot air up your butt," Rhines said. "We want to get into office, stay in office, (and) plan to fulfill the commitment to the students."

"We (the Student Empowerment ticket) believe the spirit on this campus can increase," Rhines said. "People need to feel comfortable co come down here and feel a sense of

community." Rhines also had with him a small boom-box which he played each time a member of his ticket went to the microphone to respond to a question.

Getting students informed about the various issues was also a topic of concern for unoppcmi candidate Chad Dierking -Student Advocates, vice president for campus communications, said getting student involvement is important to empower students to get things clone.

'To actually get better relationship.c; with the administration," Dierking said, "is to get students involved." He said in order to bring issues to the students he would challenge people to the issues and get committees to work together.

"Every student is affected by the issues, we have the power to educate them" said unoppnsed candidate Emily Newman, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board representatives on the Student Advocates ticket. "\Xe must be vocal, we must be loud and aggressive," Newman said.

Candace Farmer - Student Empowerment, vice president for academic affairs candidate, said she would talk to students and go to

organiz.ations. "If we can work together, we can push for

what we want," Farmer said. "We are here to learn."

Ronald Luton · Student Advocates, vice president for academic affairs candidate, said in order to gather input from students about academic he would utiliz.e the things that are already out there, for example the suggestion box where students can write questions and there input on various issues.

Making sure minorities are represented in every curriculum as well as making sure people know how to make sure people with disabilities and minorities feel comfortable on campus, are things Luton would like to accomplish if elected, he said.

unoppcmi candidate John Stair - Student Empowerment, vice president for student fees, said through the Metro Web site, bulletin boards, and having his e-mail address available, he can better inform students about the issues. Stair also said he would talk to the administration concerning fees to better inform the students.

Several photocopied flyers and a calender were also reported missing.

Another employee in the Rectory Building noticed that a printer was missing from an office adjacent to the work-study room later the same day.

Three days later a Metro student told police someone stole her wallet from a pay phone in the West Oassroom.

The student told police she was in the student lounge on the second floor of the building and left briefly to use a pay phone. She said she used the phone then returned to the lounge and realized she didn't have her wallet. The wallet contained her ID and $35.

Diversity issues rise at candidates debate • DEBATES, from p. 5

attorney general said he wants to get to know the students on a more personal level. "I want to represent the students completely," he said.

At both debates the topic of diversity \\~thin Metro and Metro::. current curriculum ro.5e for the vice president ofDiversiry candidates as well as the entire panel of candidates.

LaRae Scott - Student Empowerment, vice president of diversity candidate , said she would incorporate diversuy into the student body.

"Metro is the most diverse college in the state of Colorado, and we need to expose that." Scott said. The recent troubles with the African-Amencan Studies and Chicano Studies department has been a threat to the diverse curnculum at Metro, she saie.

"When this happens we must look at it analytically and look where we are going With it. We have come so far," Scott said "but now we are going back in time." She said updating the textbooks used in das.ses and updating the current curnculum will help increase diversity within Metro.

'There is a tapestry of knowleclge, talent, (and) abilities, if you see that in yourself, you car embrace that," said Nicholas Delmonico - Student Advocates, vice president for diversity.

"We need to establish more than starus quo," Delmonico said. "It starts small, litde by litde, for long lasting change."

Matt Mahutga, Metro student, individualized major, asked a question to the candidates on the issue of recent attacks on the African American studies, and the Chicano studies program. He asked the candidates, "How can we count on student body government to give students a voice in this issue?"

Candidate Jennifer Smith -Student Advocates, Vice president for student services has been working on saving the African American studies program as the current vice president of student services. She said she has gonen 12 pages of signatures from the srudent body to keep the program running.

"We need to creare communication between d1e department and the student body government." Smith said if she is elected for another term that she would plan another "Meet Your Student Government Day" as well as working on the other projects she has started thl'i year.

"I would like to be more out in the open, have office hours at night and on the weekends," said candidate Alphonso Gonzales - Student Empowermen~ vice president for srudent .

Unopposed candidate Raaki Garcia-Ulan1 -Student Advocates, vice president for srudent organizations said she has already talked to the various student organizations on campus. 'There are 91 organizations on campus, which is exciting for me to know."

Metro student Annie Fulton, speech communications major with an emphasis on early childhood education, attended the debate on

March 29. Fulton said she liked hearing about the issue of community unity at the debate. "We need to increase community unity on campus, (and) have it feel like a real school."

Karen Raforth, interim associate vice president of Student Services and dean of Student Life, also anended the debate. Raforth said being on the student government is not an easy job, it is a difficult but prestigious position. Rafonh said the

candidates represent a democracy and are a very imponant because the administration relies on the scudent government and it's members for not only their input but the student input they are suppose to solicit.

At the end of the debate, the Student Empowerment ticket took the mic and gave what they called a salute to the Roadrunners who recendy won the national championship in Division

JI, by singing "~ Are the Champions," by Queen, in tribute to the team and Metro as a whole.

Carey Jenkins - Independent candidate, for attorney general, Andres Sanchez - Student Empowerment candidate for attorney general, and Todd Wittenberg - Independent candidate for vice president of academic affairs were noc present for either debate

•MILES, from p.15 Miles wrote his first song when he was a

freshman in college. "It was really simple and predictable," he

said. "The literary equivalent would be the story where you get through it and find out at the e.nd of the story it's a dream." A professor Miles had while attending school at the Manhattan School of Music saw his talent and urged him to continue writing. Later, Miles met a record producer who was interested in his music.

"They told me they already had Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione," he said. "They couldn't take on another trumpet player. I thought, 'if you have Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione, what would you want with me?' It was pretty flattering." In 1992 Miles began playing with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Two years later he began touring Europe and the United States with guitarist Bill Frisell's quartet.

Miles first began playing the trumpet when he was 11 years old.

"My mom taught summer school, so she needed something for us to do," he said. "I was really into pop at the time, but there wasn't room for trumpeters." Miles bought his first jazz album in 1977.

"I liked the sounds of the instruments," he

said. "It grooves and flows at the same time." Miles blends the pop he loved as a boy with jazz, funk and even country in his songs.

Llfe as a college professor also provides inspiration for Miles.

"My mother was really into learning," he said. "She went back to college when she was older. We would all go to college and sit in

class with her. Already I was around college students and in the environment.

"I like teaching for three reasons," he continued. "First, for practical reasons, it's a job. But I like the idea of exchanging knowledge. As a teacher, you're not giving knowledge you're exchanging

knowledge. And if I wasn't around here, I probably wouldn't leave the house. I would just sit around playing music all clay. Which wouldn't be all that bad. It's good for me when I sit by myself and write. I don't worry about what other people think."

Miles cradled his trumpet in his arms. "Thanks for coming out tonight," he said.

"We would like to· play one more song," he said. "It's called Good Night."

After the song, the faithful and the converted approached the altar gathering around Miles. The band members packed their instruments in cases. The sermon, for now, was over.

Relishing the Roa ers' win - Did you hear that?

Kem McWl*tlr/lbe Metropolitan

Senior DeMarcos Anzures, the first first-team All-American in school history, signs a Roadrunners sign for a fan at the rally March 28 honoring the Metro men's basketball team. About 2,000 fans gathered at the flagpole in the center of campus to celebrate the Roadrunners' NCAA Division II national championship win over Kentucky Wesleyan. Behind Anzures, freshman Patrick Mutombo proudly holds the championship trophy.

1be Metropolitan

It's finally beginning to sink in. The Metro men's basketball team

could barely fathom that it was the NCAA Division ll national champion hours after def eating Kentucky Wesleyan, 97-79, on March 25. But three days later, at a rally honoring the team's accomplishments at the Auraria campus flagpole, the Roadrunners began to see it.

"Looking at the T-shirts they're selling, just those cwo words on them, 'National· Champions,' it really helps," junior center Kane Oakley said.

Oakley scored a career-high 21 points in the title game against Kentucky Wesleyan and sec a new single-season record for blocked shoes with 60 this year.

About 2,000. fans met the Roadrunners at the flagpole on March 28 where representatiyes from Gov. Bill Owens' and Mayor Wellington Webb's offices declared March 28 Roadrunners Men's Basketball Day.

Metro sophomore Kevin Dawkins, who proclaims himself the Roadrunners' No. 1 fan, was in the crowd. He said he's been to every Metro home game in the past two years and is very proud of the basketball team's effort.

"They were ranked No. 1 in the beginning and finished No. 1," Dawkins said. "It's all. from outscanding team effort and fortitude."

Another reason the roadrunners

finished No. 1 is coach Mike Dunlap. Dunlap came to Mecro after the Roadrunners' 13-13 finish in the 1996-97 season. In his first year, che Roadrunners won 25 games. Afcer chree years leading che program, Dunlap's record is 86-15, an 85 percent success rate, and he is the coach of a national championship team.

Senior DeMarcos Anzures, who was a part of the 13-13 squad four years ago and is now che only firsc-ceam All­American in school history, realizes how much Dunlap brought to Metro.

"I never thought it would happen," Anzures said of winning the national championship. "Then Coach Dunlap walked in. It's really special to be a part of building this tradition."

Dunlap, who was named National Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, won't take the credit for the Roadrunners' success.

"(The players) are the most important pan," Dunlap said.

As the rally ended the players were signing everything from basketballs to newspapers to T-shirts.

Dawkins was right in the middle of the action getting Anzures' autograph when he said, "Don't forget to put All­American on it."

The Roadrunners are hoping that the fans won't forget about them next year.

"Hopefully they can come out when it matters," Dunlap said, "but we understand the nature of the beast."

Overheard at the rally celebrating the Roadrunners' NCAA Division II national title:

• "Thanks for not goln1 to the Shaq-daddy school of free-throw shootln1." Vic Lombardi, KCNC-TV sports reporter, on Shane Ah Matt's free­throw with 1. 5 seconds on the clock to defeat Missouri Southern 75-74.

• "I love this micro· phone!" Senior guard John Bynum, before he began chanting "Metro State" and dancing for the crowd.

• "Of course, I thought It from day one." Senior forward Michael Alcock, joking that he knew the Roadrunners would be national champions from the very beginning.

• "Thls 1UY &Ives all short 1UYS buplratlon." Lombardi, on freshman guard Clayton Smith, who stands 5-foot 7 inches.

• "See them next year, same time, same place." Metro junior Eve Mullaney, planning on a Roadrunners' repeat.

Don't call them "the comeback kids," even '"· if the nickname does fit.

This time, the Metro baseball team was in California, and for the first time in four years the Roadrunners did not lose a game or leave the state with a losing record. Instead, the team left California with a 4-0 record.

Metro has had a habit this season of trailing late in games then coming back in the final few innings to win the game.

"Not necessarily the comeback kids," senior Dana Reichers said. "We need put it

.- together early, we have been pretty fortunate to be able to come back, and we are a good team that way."

The first come back was against California State University Stanislaus. Trailing 3-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Metro scored two

runs to take the lead and went on to beat CSU doubled to center field allowing Autio to score from first cutting the deficit to 4-3. Stanislaus 4-2.

The game that several players and coaches Following a single by junior Tim Uhls, felt was the best of the California trip was che Roadruners' 8-7 defeat of No. 11 Sonoma State in 11 innings.

Metro found themselves in a three-run hole going into the top of the eighth inning. After sophomore Chad Gonzales popped

senior Billy Wallace singled to right field bringing in junior John Gustafson (who pinch ran for Jerekber) to tie the score at 4-4.

Senior Brian Aguiar pinch hit for junior Caleb Parmenter and got on base by a fielder's choice, but Uhls was called out at third for the second out of the inning.

out to the third baseman, Reichers got his first home run of the season, sending a shot over center field. Senior Millea Autio singled to center field, then pinch hitter Matt Jerekber

Senior Josh Vickers doubled to left field and that allowed Wallace to score from second to give the Roadrunners the S-4 lead.

That lead would stay brief as Sonoma State

scored cwo runs in the bottom half of the inning to take the one run lead.

Metro tied the game in the ninth inningto send the game into extra innings.

With the game tied in the 11th inning, Gonzales walked to open the inning and Reichers, who went 3-for-5 in the game, singled to center field. Autio followed Reichers by sending a shot into right field and Gonzales scored. After senior Mike Henthorn struck out,· Uhls singled into left field loading the bases for Wallace, who flied out to center field, allowing Reichers to score the game-winning run .

For outfield and hitting coach Tim Carlson, this game was the best he had seen the team play.

·~ a team, it was definitely Sonoma,"

Roadrunners split series with New Mexico Highlands to open RMAC •BASEBALL, from p.19 Carlson said. "We were down most of the game and we ended up bringing in some pinch hitters to try and come up with some base hits and they did.

"We used so many guys in the line-up, that we had to put some guys in defensively that where they don't belong. Mike Henthorn played left field, he is a middle infielder or third base, and he went out into the outfield and made a catch. He did a great job, he didn't do anything flashy but he just went out there and made the play. Overall it was a huge victory."

Everyone having a chance to get in the game, trying to help the team get a win was what Uhls said is what made the Sonoma game the best.

"Everyone chipped in, everyone was a piece to the puzzle and that is what this team is about," Uhls said.

The final two games of the trip had the Roadrunners in San Francisco to take on San Franscisco State. Metro. finally established a lead in Game 1, scoring two runs early thanks to a home run by Gustafson and would not look back as the Roadrunners won 3-2.

The following day, Metro looked like it did in the first two games of the trip, finding itself trailing late in the game. The Roadrunners took a 6-4 lead into the seventh inning, but watched San Francisco score three runs to take the lead. Metro, though, scored two runs in the last cwo innings to win 8-7.

The Roadrunners left California for New Mexico to open the 2000 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference against New Mexico Highlands. There the Roadrunners lost the first cwo games 9-8 and 6-1.

Metro regrouped for the final cwo games, winning the first one in come-from-behind
