9th Street proiect in final phase John R. Crane The Metropolitan

The second phase of the Ninth Street Park renovation will be completed by the end of January, according to Jim Kelley, director of Facilities Management.

"The four buildings in the second phase should be finished by the end of the month," Kelley said.

Included in those four buildings are The Mercantile and 1068, which houses the office of the Community College of Denver's president, Christine Johnson.

The first phase of the renovations, which entailed three buildings, was finished last year, according to Kelley. When the work wraps up in the second phase, exterior corners will be upgraded and new roofs will be on all seven buildings from both phases, Kelley said.

Ten sixty-eight, the last structure to be renovated, will have a new consolidant on the

face of its soft, sandstone brick, which was cracking due to moisture trapped and frozen inside the brick.

"The paint used a couple of years ago on 1068 didn't allow the bricks to breathe," said Dean Wolf, executive vice president of the

administration. About $450,000 went

into each phase of the renovation, with most of the first installment commg from statecontrolled maintenance funds for the first phase.

Matching funds from the Colorado Historical Society, which oversaw the renovations, went into the second phase, according to Kelley.

"Paint colors were determined by the Colorado Historical Society," Kelley said.

The Colorado Historical Society also made decisions such as whether a damaged window was to be replaced

or repaired. These decisions depended upon the extent of deterioration, and whether new windows could be matched to old ones to

preserve historical character, according to Kelley.

Of the 14 buildings in Ninth Street Park, the seven most in need of upgrading will soon be done, according to Kelley.

The remaining buildings may need new roofs in the future, but they are in good condition and are low on the priority list for the next few years, according to Kelley.

"We have re-applied for state funds, and will eventually get them once the remaining buildings become a greater priority," said Kelley.

However, economic problems caused Gov. Bill Owens to declare a statewide moratorium on historic preservation funding last year, so the final seven buildings may not rise in priority for a long time, according to Wolf

"Renovation is expensive," said Wolf, "and the state deficit is $160 million greater than earlier projected by the Colorado legislature. I see no hope for two or three years. State funds are tight."

Auraria police chief Ortiz resigns Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

Auraria's chief of police announced his resignation from the department Jan. 7.

Joe Ortiz, who has been the campus' chief of

Joe police for the past seven Ortiz years, said he is leaving

Auraria to become the new executive director

for Colorado's department of corrections. "I was glad I was able to associate

myself with this campus," Ortiz said. ''I look back on this particular job and I have no regrets. I think we've certainly brought a new reputation and a new

image to the department." Ortiz said he feels a new police chief

will be beneficial for the campus. "I'm a proponent of new blood and new ideas," he said.

Before Ortiz took the position of public safety director for the campus, he attended the Colorado Law Enforcement Training Academy in 1970, received a Bachelor of Arts in sociology with a minor in criminal justice from Regis University. Ortiz also worked at the Denver Police department where he served as division chief for patrol operations, Division chief for traffic, division chief for community services and division chief for staff services. Ortiz was chosen for the director position at Auraria out of 204 applicants.

In his new position, to which he was appointed by Gov. Bill Owens, Ortiz will oversee a staff of 6,000 in 17 prison facilities across the state.

"It's ·a challenge for me personally," Ortiz said of his new position.

Ortiz's tenure as Auraria's chief of police will end Feb. 1. Campus officials said a search committee has been organized to find a replacement for Ortiz by March 1.

"I think he's going to be hard to replace," said Julie Hughes, division director of organizational development and performance. Hughes said while no date has been set, the campus is planning a reception for students and faculty to meet candidates for the position.

Toy drive successful Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan

One hundred and sixty underprivileged children received Christmas presents from the students, faculty and staff of Auraria through the 2001 Auraria shares program.

"No name on the tree went without getting a Christmas present," Crystal Carter, program coordinator and Tivoli support services manager, said.

Carter said normally there are a few names left she has to give back to the four agencies which provide the names of the children, but this year was different.

"A couple days before the pick-up date there were still 12 to 14 names left on the tree," she said, "but the members of Auraria Higher Education Center took up a collection at their Christmas party" to buy toys for those kids.

"I was very touched and proud of the people I work with," she said.

The names of children who need presents are collected by Carter from Denver Area Youth Services, Denver Inner-City Parish, The Gathering Place and Arapahoe County Social Services.

"I was afraid to collect as many names as in the past," Carter said, citing the weak economy. Yet, Carter said, in many cases the gifts given were even more than the children requested. Such as, instead of the requested coat, the child received a coat and a toy.

This was the eighth year a Share Tree with children's names has been a part of the Auraria Shares program.


Tiki Jon's, Dominoes Pizza close Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan

Pizza and ice cream will be less available for students this semester as two businesses have left the Tivoli Student Union.

Domino's Pizza closed its doors Dec. 14 after finals, and the gate was pulled down on Tiki Jon's Jan. 11.

Both business' leases were expiring, and the operators chose to close because of decreased profits, which rendered them unable to meet their financial needs, according to Jeff Stamper, Tivoli assistant director.

"We wanted to have those services available, but those owners made the decisions," Stamper said.

Stamper said the Tivoli administration is looking at options to fill the vacancies.

"Is there somebody lined up to move in tomorrow? No, but we're looking at some options," he said.

"What we're doing currently is, I requested that (the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board) create an ad-hoc food planning committee to investigate what the students want and need," said Barbara Weiske, Tivoli director.

In the mean time, the future of the spaces is "a little bit up in the air," Weiske said, "We're looking at the shortterm versus long-term possibilities. We want to make sure we're responding

Domino's is the third pizza business to occupy the southeast corner of the Tivoli, according to Stamper, following Rocky Rocco's and Primo's Pizza. All three have closed for similar reasons.

"Clearly it is not working as a site. I think on Domino's in particular they had

Stamper said, adding that other pizza businesses will be looked at for the space.

Tiki Jon's, which sold ice cream, frozen yogurt, sodas and baked goods, was short-lived, according to Stamper.

"They just felt they could not make a go of it," he said.

Weiske said the operators of Tiki Jon's were exceptional, doing a wonderful job of making the space exciting, but the space was too big and that expense mixed with a seasonal product made for low profitability. I

''With isolated ownership, they were not making enough money. Also they were removed from the synergy of the food court."

CU changes policies about purchase, use of lab dogs ..r- Jessika Fruchter

(U-WIRE) BOULDER, Colo. - After years of pressure from animal rights activists and some Colorado legislators to

University officials said Jan. 14, the Health Sciences Center in Denver has changed its policies on both the

The purpose of the labs is to teach basic concepts of physiology to first-year medical students. Specifically, the

Early shorMer1111 loans prove successful Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan

The early processing of spring semester short-term loans was a huge success for the Student Finance Resource Center, said center Director Arliss Sunderwirth Webster.

"The response was excellent," Webster said, ''We're definitely going to do that again. It works."

Since Dec. 10, Webster has processed 186 loans, many of which have been paid

back already. "Usually we don't see that kind of

figure until next week," Webster said. She added because so many of the loans have already been paid back, there will be enough money in the center's fund for next week's loan-seeking students.

The primary reason for the program's early availability was to give students a chance to be able to buy their textbooks early when used books would still be available, saving the students money. Another reason was to provide financial relief between student aid periods.

Scientists duplicate Olympic logo Vlith a 11living ring'' Alex Lee Daily Utah Chronicle

(U-WIRE) SALT LAKE CITY - Here's a piece of Olympic paraphernalia that is sure to make collectors drool: an Olympic ring logo made of nerve cells.

Coined the "Living Rings," the logo was made by scientists at the Keck Center for Tissue Engineering, a bioengineering laboratory at the University of Utah. The logo is made of mouse nerve cells and measures oneeighth inch in length.

organized attempt through several Denver galleries to boycott the present exhibition, African American Works on Paper, to protest Perisho's dismissal. Other Denver area galleries have been circulating petitions, which they will present to Kaplan, demanding Perisho's reinstatement. Banker said she has not noticed a decrease in attendance at the gallery as a result of the boycott.

"I suspect it will impact negatively because I doubt they will be able to hire someone at her level easily," said Marina Graves, managing editor for Eye Level magazine, a Denver based art publication. "I think she was a major player on the local scene and I think it's not something you can substitute."

Lab dogs to be regulated

drafting the dog lab resolution, said the campaign is fueled by the growing popularity of computer-assisted lab work in medical schools across the country.

Right now 94 out of 125 major U.S. medical schools do not use animals in their curriculums, he said. And in the last year another eight schools stopped using animal labs.

"They're just realizing it's not necessary," Hanley said.

While Madden shares in Hanley's vision of a "cruelty-free" medical school, she said she feels satisfied with the progress made so far.

'Tm happy with their decision," Madden said. "It accomplished my goal, and I hope it helps to decrease the sort of shady dealings that are associated with Class B dealers. I'm also hoping that because they'll have to pay more, the med school will reconsider dog labs and switch over to computer simulation."

According to officials, the medical school purchases between 35 and 40 dogs each year from "animal vendors."

bioengineering, came up with the idea in December to impress Gov. Mike Leavitt, who was planning to visit the center.

"We want to show him what we can do," Tresco said. "It combines tissue engineering and biology know-how."

Directed by a template made with a photolithographic process, a technique used in making computer chips, mouse nerve cells grew around the interlocking rings. The effort took about two weeks without the need to develop any new techniques.

"We knew we could do it. It wasn't a technical surprise," Tresco said.

The staining process, which increases the visibility of the cells, killed the cells within four days. So, the Living Ring is not living anymore.

Although it was for demonstration purposes only, the ring illustrates the technology that may lead to repairing damages to the nervous system. Biodegradable scaffolding can be used to direct nerve growth to bridge a severed spinal cord, for example, but Tresco concedes that is at least a decade and "considerable capital investment" away.

"It's one thing to get nerve cells to grow in a dish like this," Tresco said. "It

is orders of magnitude more difficult to have this occur in a damaged nervous system."

The lost art of communication

Jenny Arribau Staff columnist

We are well past the dawn of what many call the age of communication. We can surf the web at lightening speed, make an international call on a cell phone while driving fast, and instant message a friend on the other side of the globe. With all of this revolutionary communication going on, one might assume human beings are connecting with each other more efficiently than ever before. The various forms of communication available we use save many people time and money. However, there is a price to pay for such modern conveniences: the inability to connect on a personal level.

I just can't think of another reason for our generally inept social skills. Why are so many people unable to have a casual conversation around here? For example, imagine yourself stepping into an elevator. First, no

matter what conversation those entering the elevator were having before they stepped inside, their talking ends when the doors close. For the next thirty seconds to a minute, everyone in the small metal box is wondering what to do. First there is the dilemma of whether or not to say "hello" to those whom you have never seen before. You might wonder, "Why should I have to say hello just because we are temporarily sharing a small space?" Then others think to themselves, "Maybe I should say hello, it's the polite thing to do." After the decision is made and the strangers either greet each other or they don't, if two or more people have not yet arrived at their chosen floor, the elevator and the tension both continue to rise. Warning: If you do decide to make conversation, know that you may surprise, or even frighten others. Nervous laughter, stuttering, or silence may also occur. However, I dare you to take the risk of communicating, you just may cause a smile.

About cell phones. Are these little devices really connecting us to the world as Jamie Lee Curtis will have us believe, or are they tying us down

strictly to those we already know? I have a good group of friends, but sometimes when I walk around campus and see all of your many different faces; I want to know you. Many of you are talking and laughing with other students, but the rest of you are on your phones! How can we meet new people if we are so closely connected to boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends or parents? Now I can't criticize anyone, I too am guilty of walking and talking on my phone. However, I usually try to avoid long phone calls to fully experience my present time and place. I met my best friend on our campus, and who knows, perhaps I would not have met her had I been talking on my phone that afternoon.

Another amazmg mode of communication is the Internet. From friends I met in high school, to those I have met on my travels, e-mail has kept many of my friendships alive. Whether communicating through the compute1· is generally good or bad for human relations, I am thankful for email.

I do have to wonder, however, about many relationships that originate online. On one hand, this is where

technology has taken us, so maybe it's becoming normal to meet someone on a computer. But how is it possible to know a person simply by the words they write about themselves? By experiencing the energy of another person, her laugh, his smile, the way she walks or gestures when talking, we gather important information about them inaccessible through a computer screen. I know numerous healthy relationships are bound to originate in chat rooms or singles websites, but is there not an easier and safer way for us to connect? What about saying "hi" to that hotty who works in the coffee shop? What about taking the chance of rejection, along with the chance of a genuine smile? It's scary at first, but healthy communication can only get easier the more that we practice it face to face with other members of our community.

I am not trying to get to Sesame Street or anything. Clearly we can't all be friends in our society, nor are we meant to be. However, no matter how easy it is to call or email a friend across the country, it may be just as easy to find friendship right in your own apartm~nt building.

Getting b-ack to our normal, rude selves

Danielle Haraburda Opinions Editor

I'm not so sure returning to normal is a good idea.

Remember a few months ago when we, as a nation, were devastated by the horrific events in early September? It was a dark time to be sure, and the majority walked through our days shellshocked and grieving. I don't miss the sad intensity of those times, but, I have to admit, I do miss the spirit that seemed to flow out of our shared experience.

Along with the grief we all felt there seemed to be a fresh understanding among many about our humanity. We were, for once, a kinder nation. We found a little patience, a little compassion. A little understanding.

It seems the time for those things has passed. We're back to the hectic "mefirst-and-the-rest-of-you-be-dammed" attitude that marks our nation as one of the world's rudest. Don't believe me? Go hang out at the airport for a few hours.

Like many graduation bound students, I'm busy trying to plan my future. Mine, I hope, entails attending law school next fall. I've spent more time this previous break flying from law school to law school that I almost have a nest-egg in frequent flier miles. Between these trips and the holiday excursions I made in December, I feel like I've passed more time in the airports of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Boise, Washington DC, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Boston and, of course, DIA, than in the actual cities themselves. And everywhere, it seems, people are busy getting back to "normal."

Well, at least back to rude. If the behavior I've seen in our

nation's airports is any indication, working as airport security might actually soon pass up dentistry and police work as this nation's most stressful jobs. You couldn't pay me enough to take the abuse I saw doled out to some of these people.

How loudly the privileged of our country scream out when they're inconvenienced.

In Boise a woman screamed at the man who pulled her aside to search her handbag.

"Why the hell would anyone hijack a plane in Boise?" she wanted to know. I cringed for the poor man who stoically and carefully combed through the contents of her Gucci bag.

A man in Milwaukee wanted to know, in ever increasing decibles, what he could possibly be hiding in his shoes. This was before, of course, a man named Richard Reid tried to ignite the plastic explosives hidden in his sneakers on a flight leaving Logan International Airport in Boston.

The guy in St. Louis was the worst, though. He stood in line with the rest of the first-class passengers. The young African American woman responsible for randomly searching boarding passengers asked him to carry his large carry on bag and his lap-top computer to the table. I could see the vein throbbing in his temple from the seat I occupied 12 feet away.

''This is bullshit!" he declared loudly. ''I just bet you love this, don't you? Getting to use your power to harass a white man." He continued to complain and warn her to not damage his computer, like, he said, the last person to search him in an airport had done.

After the way this man behaved, I would have found a new "stow-away" compartment for his carry on items. No big surprise I don't work in the customer service industry. This American Airlines employee acted exactly the opposite of how I, and many other waiting passengers around me, wanted to. She kept a polite smile on her face and apologized to him for any inconvenience. Then she continued to the next passenger after she handed the red-faced bigot his luggage. Whatever they pay her at American, it's not enough.

After the number of times I've flown lately, I can say with some confidence the added security measures taken on behalf of everyone are hardly a bother. I also say this as someone who has been randomly pulled to the side for a

thorough searching, literally, every time I've boarded a plane in the last few months. A friend of mine who works for the U.S. State Department tells me I'm the "anti-profile." Young, blonde, travels alone. It's probably taken, in total, 45 minutes out of my life. Considering the very privilege it is to travel by airplane and the recent events in America, I just can't bring myself to find these searches a real inconvenience, or a personal affront.

Not all people I've seen have been rude, or even impatient. Most of us understand that one of the unfortunate side effects of Sept. 11, is the sacrifice of a few minutes we all have to make in a hope to avoid future tragedy.

We can't be na'ive. Traveling in America will never be the same as it was before. No more coasting into the airport at the last minute, flying through security and racing to the gate. Get to the airport at least an hour and a half early-on slow days. Two hours or more on busy travel days. Most airports now have an automated line reporting its traffic flow.

Don't wear stupid things. Overalls and belts with a lot of metal will set off the detectors. So will boots and other dress shoes with metal rods in the sole. I just take my shoes off and put them through the X-ray belt. Or I wear sneakers.

Limit your carry on bags, or learn to be patient. If you're like me and absolutely have to carry a myriad of snacks, writing materials, books and personal items on the plane with you (items I usually ignore for the in-flight movie). Expect that security might want to peek in your bag of tricks before you board the plane. Live with it.

Be nice. Getting treated rudely a hundred times a day by disgruntled travelers must be a special kind of hell. We don't want these people to hate their jobs. We need them. Smile at them. Tell them you appreciate the job they're doing. Act as if they're doing these things to personally ensure your safety, because .. . well, they are.

' These are all titles that tell a story through art.

The exhibit, African American Works on Paper, is displayed downtown at the Metro Center for the Visual Arts. The center will be displaying 71 pieces until Feb. 23, and will coincide with Metro's Black History Month events and activities.

"Many people who want to collect 4 begin with works on paper," Amy Banker,

interim director and program coordinator, said. "It's more affordable."

The works range from lithographs, silkscreens, and etchings to Walter Williams' woodcut, Black Madonna.

J-The 1965 piece depicts the traditional scene of Madonna and baby Jesus, only theses figures are black.

Many of the artists are well known and have been displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, the June Kelly Gallery,

")the Whitney Museum, the Modern Museum in Paris and the Charlottenberg Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The artists vary in design and stories. For example, in the 1987 piece, Happy Shack, the lithograph is one of many

_.,. shacks the artist saw growing up in rural South Carolina. Beverly Buchanan, the

artist, was the recipient of both the Guggenheim and the National Endowment of the Arts.

Artist Jacob Lawrence captures, in silkscreen, the bloody Revolt on the Amistad.

The Amistad Revolt (1839-1842) was a ship uprising off the coast ·of Cuba arriving in the United States. The Amistad captives set off an intense legal and political debate over the slave trade, slavery, race, Africa, and ultimately America itself.

There is a 1988 etching by Ernest Crichlow entitled Mother and Daughter, which is similar to that of an illustrator. Mel Edwards' Chains is very simply titled and subtly shows the vertical flow of iron chains. Edwards is most known for his lynch fragment sculptures.

The historical materials the artists use are enormously important for their cultural truths. The artists tell of slave history, the history of Harlem, childhood memories, political movements and personal transformations.

Some of them have lived a bit of history. Artist Elton Fax was in one of the first groups to participate in the cultural exchange program. He went to Russia in the 1950s. His piece, My mother at 90, is represented in the exhibit. Selma Burke is also a featured artist. Burke is best known for modeling the head on Franklin Delano Roosevelt dime.

Many of the artists represented were

around during the Harlem Renaissance, like James Wells, Charles Alston and Walter Simon.

The Harlem Renaissance is the period from the end of World War I and through the middle of the Great Depression, when a group of talented African·American writers produced a sizable body of literature in the four prominent genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay. Not to mention art.

The love and devotion to art is what prompted Wes and Missy Cochran into the collecting field. The Cochran's are not

Most of Dabney's students are African American and she uses this exhibit as a way to inspire them. Dabney is also enrolled in a teacher workshop at the center that focuses on African American legacies.

The center's mission is to continue celebrating diversity and reaching the community through educational programs and events.

17 THE METROPOLITAN JANUARY 17,2002

Af roman defies rap conventions with simplicity and a greater depth Kenneth Smith

The Daily Aztec

(U-WIRE) SAN D_IEGO - When listening to last year's hit radio single "Because I Got High," words like "deep" and "enigmatic" don't usually come to mind.

But upon further examination, the words make sense, and fit the song and its creator perfectly. Though many a blunt has been lit and a bong been hit as the familiar bassline kicks in and Afroman prods one of his homies to "roll another blunt," the song is actually a cautionary tale about the dangers of going through life stoned.

"Smoking weed is cool, and I fully love doing it," Afroman said last month prior to his appearance at The Casbah. "But what happened is I really didn't know the effect it would have on me.

"Over time I've seen a pattern of severe mistakes and it was because I was high, and I needed just that much more brain power. It was just a song about me underestimating the power of marijuana when I had something important to do, and I thought it was a funny story."

Born Joseph Foreman and raised in Palmdale, the 27-year-old rapper known as Afroman is a ball of contradictions. Though "Because I Got High" and other tracks on his major label debut· The Good Times (i.e. "Crazy Rap" and "Tumbleweed") have elevated his status among pot smokers to the Cheech and Chong level, Afroman himself rarely smokes weed.

"I travel a lot," he said about his habit. "Airport security, and then on top of that I'm black. The FAA's all like 'Baggage check, baggage check!"'

"And then I got the no. 1 song in the world called 'Because I Got High.'

"Sometimes I get somewhere and somebody has one and they're like, 'Hey man,' and if I got nothing important to do, then I hit it, but it's like nothing like I used to.

"I used to be, man, like a mack truck." The world of commercial rap is

dominated by slick, heavily produced music, but Afroman's music is based on punk rock-esque, do-it-yourself efforts. He self-produced and recorded his first two albums, Sell Your Dope and Because I Got High, and handed out copies to fans at

house parties and small shows, with minimal help in distribution from indie label T-Bone records.

The standout title track of the latter album made its way onto the hard drives of millions of Napster users and eventually to the airwaves, making Afroman one of the first and foremost musicians to hit the bigtime through digital distribution. Universal Records took notice and released The Good Times, which is largely a compilation of his earlier efforts.

Endorsements from media powerhouses Howard Stern and Kevin Smith (Stern promoted the song vigorously and Smith used it in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) pushed the song to the top, and the single enjoyed rare cross-format success on Top 40, urban and alternative stations.

In a scene largely dominated by gangster posing and glorification of violence, Afroman's music hearkens back to more innocent days. Not a single reference to poppin' caps or coastal warfare appears on The Good Times.

"Too Short, 2 Live Crew, anything that was too nasty for me to hear at the time," Afroman said of his early influC'-:ices, "I love

that shit man, and I gotta admit I'm a sucker for dirty jokes.

"I want to demonstrate to people what hip hop was like when I was a little kid, so they can at least hear it and have a comparison and make sure that it doesn't lose quality as the years go on."

Afroman's songs about dirty sex solidify comparisons to his stated idols, and prompt the same criticisms and accusations of misogyny they once faced. Therein lies another contradiction.

"I'm starting to feel sorry for chicks," he said. "You know, like at first when I saw girls stick out their tongue and act all nasty I thought, well, I know some of them like doing that, but there's a large percentage that just get in a predicament and have to do that, but they really don't like it."

And while most rappers aren't known for their musicianship, Afroman is an accomplished instrumentalist, having played guitar since the age of 8 and drums since the age of 5. He plays guitar on stage and, unlike most rap acts, tours with a full band.

Auraria celebrates Black History month with iazz, art and workshops Elena Brown The Metropolitan

It began, like a breath, as Negro History Week 76 years ago. Now we call it Black History Month.

In 1926 Dr. Carter G. Woodson established the week dedicated to the Negro. In 1976, the observance was expanded to "National Black History Month." And next month the Auraria Campus will be alive with a celebration of activities. Many of the activities will please even the most varied of interest, taste and race.

Some featured lecturers include Grammy Award winning jazz artist, Dianne Reeves and from the Ne~ro

And to whet the appetite, the Office of Black Student Services will sponsor a Gumbo Taste in the North Classroom building.

For the Black History buffs, both the preliminaries and the finals PANDA (Pan-African Nurturing and Development) Games will be held in the Tivoli. From Stanford University, Dr. George Fredrickson will lecture on, "The South, South Africa and Nazi Germany."

Black health has been a constant concern within the black community. Currently the number one health killer of blacks is AIDS. Although African American represent approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population, they now account for an estimated 54 percent of the new HIV infections and 47percent of the new AIDS cases, according to a national survey by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. In response to this concern the Auraria Health Center and the GLBT Student Services will sponsor a keynote address from AIDS educator and activist Brenda Pridgeon.

Dunlap gets 200th career victory lmthia~oeki~n~s~~~ The Metropolitan

Metro's men's basketball team is steadily making it's way through the Western division of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

The first match up of the new year came against Adams State (5-7, 2-3 RMAC).

Entering the game, the Roadrunners were on a nine game win streak and head coach Mike Dunlap was reaching his 200th career victory. Adams State was no contest for the Roadrunners (11-2, 5-2 RMAC) as it cruised to an easy victory 97-71. The Roadrunners jump to an early lead 13-6 with a three-pointer by forward Mark Worthington, which was one of his 24 points in the game. Adams State would not let up getting as close as eight points during the first half until guard Lee Bethea went in for the dunk only two of his 23 points on the game.

''We came out with confidence because we knew that we were going to put them away it was just a matter of when," forward Patrick Mutombo said. Mutombo also contributed 20 points to the Roadrunners as they went into halftime 46-29.

"We did alright, we had a slow start and playing teams like this we're supposed to beat them and put them away early in the game," Mutombo said.

Dunlap also agreed the Roadr~ers could have step it up a ~e in the first half.

"At lialftime we went over our team marks one being rebounding where we were even with them, but I thought that we could do some things better," Dunlap said. "And I thought that some individuals were down a bit and we addressed that during halftime in terms of the effort areas we measure and those individuals took that step up in the second half."

That's exactly what the team did in the second half. The Roadrunners came out dominating the second haa and shooting 55 percent from the floor to finish the game.

"This team scores easier than last year's team because we have better offensive players

this year," Dunlap said. "This team has the ability to do tonight what they did to Adams State to others in the league."

The Roadrunners are almost finished with the western division taking their next four games on the road after one of their hardest preseason schedules in a few years.

"Our next four games are on the road, so our measurement is to win these games one at a time and would be how well we're taking care of the ball and where our defense is at this particular time," Dunlap said.

This comes after surprising success at the Washburn Tournament in Topeka, Kansas Dec.28 and 29. The Roadrunners had an easy victory the first night beating Central Oklahoma 81-56. Bethea and Luke Kendall scored 18 a piece, Mike Buggs

dropped 15 and Mutombo contributed 10 to the Roadrunners victory.

''We have a good team, so our measurement's are higher than the average fan would see, so on one end I will always take the win and on the other end we're trying to create an expectation with this group of how well we can play," Dunlap said.

In the championship game, the Roadrunners would face Washburn College, ranked No.4 in the country, and who were runners-up for the national title.

''That was definitely a top ten team and environment playing in front of 4,000 people, and banners hanging from the ceiling from regional championships," Dunlap said.

The Roadrunners kept the game close when Kendall hit two free throws with 6.6

seconds left in. the game to put the Roadrunners up for good Kendall finished the game with 25 points. The Roadrunners upset No. 4 Washburn 74-73. In the mean time Mutombo contributed 16 points and Bethea added 14 along with eight assists.

"We played a quality team and were able to keep it close and nip them at the end. The pressure got to them at the end. Their fans got real quiet the last three minutes because they haven't lost there in two years and our big line up, the fact of the matter was ours was better than theirs," Dunlap said. "The way we played that game was no one expected us to win that game, so we played with nothing to lose."

The Roadrunners travel to University of Southern Colorado, CU-Colorado Springs, Colorado School of Mines, and Chadron State before they return home to Metro.

"We need to stay focused on what we need to do because we have a lot of potential and once everyone catches up we going to be a good team," Mutombo said.

Mutombo also said Dunlap's system is demanding because it is structured it takes time for players to get used to it.

"Even a talented player has to figure out how he can help the team within the system," Mutombo said.

Dunlap said he feels that he has a ways to go with this team before the RMAC Tournament comes around.

"A guy really can't get comfortable until Feb. if he's new, bµt once they get our system, which takes about a year to get because we change our defense a fair amount, we press, and we have multiple sets out of our offense," Dunlap said.

''We're still just scratching the surface with this team, it's got a very high ceiling,"

Side note In the five years Dunlap has

coached at Metro, he has accumulated 120 wins. He earned 80 career wins with Cal Lutheran from 1989-94.

-23 THE METROPOLITAN JANUARY 17, 2002

Women find success in Florida Eric Eames The Metropolitan

Winfield, Iowa, population 1,021, is countrified with agriculture as the chief profession. Senior Jennifer (AJ) Anderson, honed her basketball skills here while leading Winfield-Mount Union High School to back-toback state titles.

Taking a small town team to the top is reminiscent of 1951 Hickory Hoosiers improbable high school championship run.

Perhaps that's why Hoosiers is Anderson's favorite film, and like Hoosier all-star Jimmy Chitwood, she loves to shot the ball. In three of the past four games, she has led the Roadrunners squad in points. She did it again Jan. 4, recording a game-high 24 points during a 75-55 victory over Adams State.

"When I get into the feel of my game, all I want is the ball when I'm open, because I know that I'm going to make it," Anderson said. ''You get into the shooter's zone and it is a great feeling."

Offensive firepower, though, hasn't been Metro's key to success in its past three games. It's been the highintensity, zone defense coach Mike Power is employing.

While the Roadrunners (5-7; 3-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) have shot a disappointing 35. 7 percent from the floor in the past three games, its defense has forced 92 turnovers.

"We tried a bunch of stuff at the beginning of the year and this just seems to be our bread and butter," Anderson said. ''This seems to be working."

Adams State was swamped all night by a sea of white jerseys as the Roadrunners forced 33 turnovers in its first game of the new year.

Metro was pressuring the ball as soon as the Grizzlies crossed half court. Two or three defenders would

continually tt\IOU get swarm the 11 into the

shooter's zone and ball handler m the corners and on the it is a great feeling" sidelines. It started right from the opening tip. Natasha

- AJ Anderson

Molock stole the ball at half court and dashed for a layup. Kristy Caviness stole a pass, drove inside then passed outside to Anderson who drained a three. Anderson nailed another triple to tie it at 11-11.

Malene Lindholm scored 13 points and took over in stretches too. She drained a three from the wing, shook a defender for a lay-up and spun beautifully inside for another lay-up as Metro began to pull away, leading 31-15. Adams would cut the lead to nine three minutes

into the second half, but Metro kept pressing, stealing and forcing turnovers, cruising to leads of 19, 22, even 26, but never letting up.

''We are kind of a scary team," Anderson said. "As you saw they scored six points on us in a minute right before half time because we didn't do the little things, and that's what we do best. When we don't do that things tend to fall apart in a hurry."

In the West Palm Beach Florida Tournament it was the same story, different chapters. Against Florida Memorial Dec. 19, Metro held a 20-point halftime lead over the Lions only to shoot a dismal 18 percent in the second half, but still held on to a 68-64 victory.

"When you can shoot 18 percent in one half and still win the game that tells you that you are playing some great defense," Power said.

In the tOurnament's championship game, Metro shot 36 percent, but forced Siena Heights into 36 turnovers to grab a 68-61 victory Dec. 20. Power admits that Metro's achilles heal is its lack of

presence inside-they are consistently out rebounded by 10 boards a game-and although they started out 0-5, he believes the team is building chemistry.

"I really feel like in the last four games we are really· starting to come together and jelling," Power said. "One of the kids mentioned in the locker room that we are starting to trust each other more and more."

Nationals, respect, and the desire lo win Building chemistry, playing

high-pressure defense, and upsetting nationally ranked teams are all too common for both the Roadrunners basketball teams.

As the second half of the season starts up for basketball around the country, both Roadrunner teams are racing

lmthiaz Hopkins for r~spect or a national title. . Besides the fact the men's

Sports Ed1tor program is running through the western division of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with no real competition, except for Mesa State, who they beat with a buzzer beater three pointer Dec. 16, the men have been on a roll this season.

They've played a number of nationally ranked teams including Cal State-San Bernardino, and Azusa Pacific University. Let's not forget their amazing win in front of 3,000 Washburn fans. The men's squad played with experience and the fire to knock off Washburn College, who were then ranked fourth in the country.

Head coach Mike Dunlap continues to talk about his "system," which is a high-pressure defense and press that he makes changes to every year. Maybe this is why he runs through the RMAC.

CU-Colorado Springs coach Ed Pipes, said after the game Jan. 12 that he just didn't have the players to beat Metro.

The last time the Roadrunners have this hard of a preseason schedule was 2000 when they were ranked No.l in the preseason polls and went on to win the national championship.

With saying that, we can't forget the three remaining

)

players from that team: Clayton Smith, Patrick Mutombo, and Chris Ford, all who have had a taste of that national title and who have proven that they are great athletes that fit in perfectly to Dunlap's program, which in is probably one of the harder division II programs in the country.

This is where we have to give our athletics director Joan McDermott credit for knowing when not to let a good thing go.

Then Dunlap brings in new players to his program with the understanding that they won't fully understand the "system" until March. Perfect timing isn't it. When other teams are tired and can't wait for the season to be over, and Dunlap's team is going to be peaking.

This year the men's program added four additional players to a team that got knocked out of the North Central Regional Semifinals last year. They've yet to break into the top 25, receiving votes but not enough to shake things up a bit.

Watching this team play, it looks like that itch is there, I see a national title again. This year they have athlete's that are versatile and believe what Dunlap says to them, "player's win championships, coaches are there for structure."

Maybe the women's program could learn a few things from the men's program. Even though the women had success down in Florida, I think they left their desire and chemistry on the sunny beaches on West Palm Beach.

Last year they had their first losing season in ten years, and this season looks like it might be headed in the same direction.

They might have all the team chemistry in the world but when you unable to score and play the high-

pressure defense you keep talking about, it makes you wonder if the success in Florida was just a fluke.

Granted the team trusts each other, but it all falls apart as soon as they step onto the court. For one, every game they go into with a disadvantage knowing they have no strong presence in the inside and automatically get out-rebounded by almost ten boards.

The women's team had a good win Jan.11 against University of Southern Colorado beating them 72-62, the next night they came out like chickens with their heads cut-off.

Getting beat by CU-Colorado Springs 81-44, and only one year ago they beat that same team by ten points.

Now that's ridiculous. The women's squad had 31 turnovers in the game,

but that high-pressure defense they talk about was nonexistent.

This team reminds me of the Miami Heat a young team that needs structure, but their coach doesn't know how to communicate with his team.

And the way he communicates with them is to pack them back onto the bus and head back for practice.

So what did the team learn? Every time you get killed by 37 points you're going to

get punished for it. So they've almost made it through the western division, but what happens when they start playing the eastern teams.

They struggled last year getting beat by Fort Hays, Nebraska-Kearney, and Chadron State twice. Against Colorado Christian and Regis University they spilt games with them.

From the looks of it the women's squad has a long road ahead of them in the New Year. And the men's team is going to make another run at the national title.

Rachel Grove led the Roadrunners with 10 points, while forward Stacia Swanson collected 15 boards.
