Auraria's plans to build a monorail connecting the parking facilities at Mile High Stadium with the campus have been derailed, according to an Auraria Higher Education Center spokesman.

President Paul Magelli, addressing faculty and staff at the president's convocation Sept. 4, said Metropolitan State College has finally come of age after 21 years of struggle.

Magelli, who's yearly speech resem­bled a state-of-the-institution address, said Metro lacks one element.

"It is truly a new age institution which, for all practical purposes, is without peers," Magelli explained.

He went on to justify his remarks,

saying the population of Metro has shared the college's transition from youth to maturity with the opportunity to "forge the identity of this young, optimistic, original institution."

Pena's letter added that his adminis­tration would continue to work with Auraria on the project, but time con­straints make it unlikely that the ques­tions would be resolved in the next few weeks.

Pena's press secretary, Lauren Cas­teel, replied to AHEC's decision to withdraw from the project, Sl}.ying the Mayor was very disappointed by the decision.

"There were a lot of concessions made, but we seemed to disagree on this one particular point, and they (Auraria) decided that was it for them," Casteel said.

Casteel added the Mayor said he would continue discussions with AHEC if they would choose another point closer to the 16th Street Mall for a terminal.

"Over the course of a year, AHEC and the city have worked very cooper­atively, and they just happened to dis­agree on this one particular point," Casteel said.

Hamilton said Auraria would con­tinue to study the parking situation and has several alternatives to look at.

"We have several options available, including increased surface parking, building a parking garage on campus as well as continuing to use Mile Hi lots and running the shuttle between the lots and the Campus," Hamilton said.

lfamilton said he expects no prob­lem providing parking this year.

"It would take at least 18 months to complete the monorail, and we pre­dicted no problems while construction was under way," Hamilton said. "Next year, however, we could run into a serious parking shorfage. I'm not really worried, though, we have plenty of time to come up with another alterna­tive. D

stands alone in its attempts to focus. "We are, we need to remind ourselves, without peers," he said.

Magelli is pleased with the quality of instruction Metro has obtained, he said.

"! am astonished by the quality of instruction I find here. I am astonished by the energy generated by the approach to learning ... Your approach to teaching, your methodologies, your spirit of inquiry, your collective respect for your students, exude energy. Per­haps you do not know that this is not so everywhere."

He talked about the increased enrol­lment with excitement, thanking those who worked for a reversal from last year's decline. "We have an overabun­dance of enrollments ... We are the first choice of this year's high school gradu­ates from Jefferson County, Colo­rado's fastest growing county."

Magelli's speech had definite tones of gratitude, energy and dedication: "You have proved Metropolitan State College is a caring place, and I thank you for your unquestioning support. I will not fail you," Magelli said. 0

ON CAMPUS Reorganization Yields 3 Institutes: Entrepreneurship ~Wi~ome~:.:n~is~Ins:.:::.::t..:.:it:..:::u:..::...te=-----------------Mike Grosskreuz Reporter

Metro is the first college in Colorado to create an institute dedicated to the study of entrepreneurship, a subject receiving increased attention from the business community.

Two elective classes are being -offered this semester, said Dr. Court­ney Price, director of the new Institute for Entrepreneurship and Creativity in an interview last week.

Four other classes are required for an area of emphasis in the field. Those will be available in the 1986 fall semester.

Dr. Price, a professor of manage­ment, said that in order for businesses to be successful, creativity and innova­tion are needed to combat sinking profits, decreasing productivity and increasing layoffs.

"Yesterday's solutions do not solve today's problems," Price said.

Americans are becoming more and more disenchanted with corporate life and are starting their own businesses, she said. In addition, management is discovering the need for corporate innovators.

According to Price, the driving force behind continued business success has developed into a trend that has been termed entrepreneurship.

Price said the institute should he a successful addition to the business department. Both classes, ~1anage­ment 390-Fundamentals of Entrepre­neurship and Management 490-Creal 'vity in Business, are full, she said, .tdding that she expected the other four classes to be filled when they arc offer~d.

Both elective classes also will be offered during the 1986 spring semester, Price said.

\Vhile some Colorado colleges offer a few classes in entrepreneurship, Price said that Metro is the first to

commit to this emerging field by set­ting up an institute. It is also one of only a handful of"colleges across the coun­try which have recognized entrepre­neurship as a valid field of study, she said.

The Institute will have four parts. To get an area of emphasis in entrepre­neurship, students must take four three-hour classes, two in the fall and two in the spring of his senior year.

Advanced seminars also will be offered. In addition, a certificate will be available upon completion of the require courses.

The fourth and last part of the insti­tute' s probrram will be a series of forums for the Denver business community 1

and for Metro students. In these ses­sions, hands-on instruction will illus­trate the newest developments in the field.

"The institute offers a unique expe­rience that extends beyond the stand­ard textbook-lecture approach. The program highlights what works and what doesn't in today's rapidly chang­ing marketplace," Price said.

Local business leaders on the advi­sory hoard will help guide the pro­gram and will be mentors for the stu­dents, Price said.

In addition, members of the busi­ness community will also lecture classes, explaining how academic knowledge can be applied to business.

The goal of the institute is to help students learn and understand entre­preneurship, as well as practice the steps that lead to success.

The institute's other instructors are R. Mack Davis, a nationally known specialist in business management, and Larry Kutt, a business owner.

Also of interest to entrepreneurs on campus is the the Entrepreneurships' Club at Auraria. 0

Student party at the Student Activities' "First Fall Fling/Fair"

This fall two formerly separate departments at Metro, Women's Stu­dies and the \\!omen's Center have been combined to create what is now called the "Institute on Women's Stu­dies and Services."

The Institute now occupies offices in the West Classroom 257.

Sandra Doe, the institute's acting director, said combining the two departments is a more streamlined approach than before.

"Women's Services is a place which provides a friendly space for people to drop in and meet," Doe said.

Women's Services also offers work­shops, peer counseling, and a variety

Intercultural Institute · Dr. Akbarali Thobhani, chairman of the Afro American Studies department, is directing the new Institute on Inter­cultural Studies and Services, which began operating this semester.

Thobhani said the goals of the insti­tute include helping people under­stand different cultures.

"It is a multicultured world," Thobhani said, "and it is vital that we understand and learn to appreciate the different cultures that exist in the world."

The institute' s expanded curriculum includes courses in Native American, Afro Ai;nerican, and Chicano cultures. Ethnic courses offered through depart­ments such as anthropology, educa­tion, English, and history will soon be coordinated through the institute to provide a comprehensive, interdisci­plinary approach.

There are about 120 students enrolled in the courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree in Afro Amer-· can and Chicano studies. The classes

of other services geared to assist women at Metro.

Doe said the institute also is looking at ways to integrate women's studies in other areas.

"For example, if someone took an English course, there would he a women's writing component included in the course," Doe said.

Rather than having separate courses for women's studies, a women's role would be included in all aspects of study, according to Doe.

Doe called the Institute of \\"omen's Studies and Services a place for women who need academic or personal assistance. o

'We nee too er courses to help us understand each other," he said.

The institute will extend beyond the campus into the local community by offering seminars and programs rele­vant to multicultural communities such as Denver. Thobhani plans to tap com­munity resources for the class-room· and to assist foreign students to spon­sor on-campus programs such as inter­national days, films and exhibits.

As director, Thobhani's responsibili­ties include teaching, coordinating all interdepartmental ethnic-oriented courses, identifying on- and off­campus resources that can further the institute, recruiting staff members and community resources for classroom instruction and building bridges between the college and cultural groups in the community.

Thobhani said the institute is here to serve the needs of all students on cam­pus. Those students who have ideas and suggestions for the promotion of multicultural understanding are encour­aged to visit Thobhani at his office, West Classroom, 257, or call him at 556-2543 or 556-4004. I

The check ''will" be in the mail

Pell Gran.ts Put on Hold "by Congress Tom Smith MetroStyle Assistant Editor

Pell Grant checks should be avail­able the last week in September for students who qualify.

According to Cheryl J. Judson, director of financial aid at Metro, financial aid checks awarded to 2,200 sfodents were a little lean this fall. Many students received only the loans, some received nothing, no one received

·the Pell Grant. The grant was held up by Congress,

Judson said. Congress decided on its last working day what a Pell Grant was worth, increasing the amount to $1,770 per student, she said.

"Congress does not work on a school's time schedule," she noted. The Metro financial aid office received notice of the increase two weeks before school · wd.s to begin. But there was another problem, Congress changed the rules.

Judson received a manual with strict regulations. Adhering to the instructions is causing delays.

The regulations said each student applying for a Pell Grant must have.his financial aid file audited.

"It's like eating dry oatmeal with

tweezers," Judson said. "We are going to have to do the equivalent of an IRS audit on each and every student's file before we can dispense any money."

This will take time because there are only five full-time financial aid officers, who must audit 1,300 files.

On Sept. 23, when the audits are completed, the financial aid office will send out letters informing students whether or not they must -resubmit information on tax returns, household

When Judson found out how much the school was going to receive, $440,000 for the year, she had two options. One was to write out checks to the students. Had she done this and later found that a student was not elig­ible for the money he received, the student would have to return some of it.

That would be tough, because once a student was to hold on to the money until finanoial aid could figure out the

Not dispersing the money put many students in a bind. Many had to bor­row money to buy books. Tuition was deferred for many students; other stu­dents paid tuition with loans received through the financial aid office.

Judson recommended that students put in a precarious position because of the delay write or call their legislators. They are the ones responsible for the problem, she said. And they need to know what they have done.

"Congress does not work on a school's time schedule ... It's like.eating dry oatmeal with tweezers. We are going to ha~e t~ do the equivalent of an IRS audit on each and every students file before we can

The future may be brighter for those who are planning on applying for financial aid.Judson was hired to auto­mate ~letro's financial aid office. She has submitted a proposal to President Paul J. \1agelli for approval. dispense any money." ' -Cheryl J. Judson

With the proposed plan, the new system would be able to take informa­tion submitted by a student, enter it into a computer, send it to Iowa, where it would be processed. Financial aid would receive the student's aid number within a week and could send out an award letter to the student in about two weeks. This process now takes ov~r a month.

Not every student will be asked to submit information. But for some, this request will be a prnblem.

manual. This itself was a problem. One week after the manual issued, a

conference was held to explain it. There was a question-and-answer section scheduled. But after 20 min­utes, the manual's authors cut off ques­tions because they could not answer them, Judson said. This left all finan­cial aid offices across the country with a manual they must follow, but one that not even the writers could under­stand or explain.

Student Picked as Rep. to Legislative Board

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education Friday selected the student representative to the CCHE advisory committee for the 1985-1986 term.

Cary A. Filsinger, a senior at the University of Colorado, Boulder cam­pus, was chosen over four other candi­dates to fill the position required by the reorganization of higher education set into motion by the legislature last year. Filsinger will provide student input on the commission's decisions.

Fllsinger, a Colorado native, was twice elected to the University of Colorado Student Union Executive Council (UCSU Senate) and success­fully submitted UCSU's bid to hold the 1985 National Conference of the American Association of University Students. He also coordinated the con­ference.

The first order of business, accord­ing to Filsinge{, is contacting the stu­dent governments of the various col­leges and universities in the state and soliciting their input.

"I · want everyone to know that I intend "to show no favoritism to the University of Colorado. I intend to respond to students on a state-wide level," Filsinger said. "

One of his biggest concerns is the capping of resident student enrollment levels at th e state colleges and universities ..

"Any qualified resident should be able to attend the college or university of his choice. If someone is going to be turned away, it should be the out-of­state students," Filsinger said .

Filsinger said he wanted to com­municate with as many Colorado stu­dents as possible, in order to represent their interests fairly.

Opinion

Education South of The Border by Dave Sutherland

So, you think you have it tough, huh? Went to CU Boulder. Flunked out. !oo much skiing. Too much partying. Daddy cut off your bucks. Had to get a JOb. MSC the only school t!iat you can get into. Gonna get your "edumacation" the old fashioned way now, earn it. , .

P?Or baby! You're br~aking my Vulcan heart. You, at least, have the oppor­tumty, to get- an education. How would you like it if the local dictator just up and closed your college or your university? That's just what happened to Olivia Lopez .carter. Batista closed Havana University. So after five years of college prep high school, poor Olivia had to wait until Castro opened the doors again so she could start law school. She eventually went on to Wesleyan and CU Boulder.

I'm a critic of our system of public education particularly the secondary system and the preparation and qualifications of the public secondary teachers. So after studying a little about the educational system in the Spanish speaking world in one of.her summertime Spanish classes, I talked with Olivia, who is the chair of the modern languages department at MSC, about the differences between the U.S. and the Hispanic systems. ~he first major difference is that not everyone gets to go to secondary school.

Children at a very young age are required not only to choose a career direction, but to pass a ~attery of examinations, including orals, to prove their potential for success pnor. to acceptance. Some get to go to college prep school while others go to vocational school. '

The second major difference is that in the Hispanic educational systems the burden of producing the well rounded and generally educated citizen is on the secondary schools. The colleges and universities educate the sp~ialists. There are no g~neral education requirements in colleges except as they directly affect your ma1or.

Carter has several criticisms about the Cuban college prep system she had to go through:

First, decision .t~me is j~t to early .. The children are not mature ~nough to make career decmons which they may have to live with for the rest of their lives. They should be spending their time being kids in the struggle to become adults.

Second, the curriculum was academically loaded. That is, all classes are hard core. No drivers education, for instance. No shop classes. No cooking classes. No practical living and learning classes at all. Not even art classes unless that is a specific career direction. On top of that there are no electives in bigh school or collegei:

. Carter also criticized the class size. Several hundred people per class is very -common. This obviously makes it rough on teacher student contact. And we're still talking about high school. " S~e a~o said that subj~ts are taught by experts in their fields not by

tramed educators. Math IS taught by a mathemetician not by a high school teacher who has had a little background math in college. I'll admit this is what ~wanted to hear, but I'm biased. The opinion here is mine not Carter's. She Just relayed the facts to me. But I loved it anyway.

It is refreshin~ to hear o.ne of our own colle~e educators praise our high s~hool system :-Vhen people like me are criticizing secondary education left and nght. Accor~ng to Ms. Carter our strength is that we ofter opportunity to everyone, while our weakness may be a lack of educational objectives which are coordinated within our system of education.

I spe.nd so mu~h time bitching and complaining (and enjoying it) about our educational system that after listening to Olivia Lopez Carter talk about ~nother ~stem and about how hers could be cancelled due to government mtervention, I had to stop and reflect how lucky we are in this country. True, our educational system ~ not- perfect and it is not always fair, but I think it is much better to moan and groan and complain, about it than to have to take to the hills and practice the base arts of rebellion and' terror tQ get it back. When these foreigners tell us just how f.ortunate we are, we really should listen.

Our secondary educational ~tern has become one giant baby sitting service. Our educators have become semi-skilled laborers, (they even haveunions) who ~re taught how to deal with. children in various stages of.advanced potty train­mg. Our teachers are substitute parents, social workers, counselors, and civil servan~. They ~hould be professionals and specialists, with Masters Degrees-or the eqmvalent 10 what they teach. They should have professional experience in what they teach, and they should be evaluated frequently and axed if they fail Th~ sa:cial work and support programs Should be left to those professionals i~ the1~ fields aw~y from the classrooms. Our high school systems should be pro­ducmg educationally well-rounded, literate, expressive, thinking citizens and should be providing the expertise and opportunity for this to happen at any age l~vel, for. anyone who wishes to learn, for any reason. Our leaders should pro­VIde the means, money, and muscle to accomplish this with policy written into law. Education is too important to be left in the hands of educators.

Education belongs to the people. We pay for it. We should be getting what we need and what we want. ·

LETTERS ,;Dogmeat' Cartoon Draws Harried Response Editor,

Although I greatly appreciate the coverage you have given to athleti~s in your first two issues and look forward to your continued coverage of all MSC varsity activities, I feel I must speak out in vehement objection 'to the .cartoon that was printed on page 22 of your Sept. 4 issue. It was drawn by Jon Walter and depicted six hairy women athletes, with the caption "First Women's Basketball Team, 1971."

I find the cartoon totally offensive, blatantly chauvinistic, and I am appalled that a public agency of Metropolitan State College would permit such a slander of the dedicated athletes who were involved in the initial stages of the athletic program at MSC.

Mr. Walter, here are the facts: First of all, 1971 was not the "First Women's Basketball Team." I coached the first team in 1969. In 1971, the MSC women's

basketball teain, coached by Jane Kober, (still on the MSC physical education faculty) competed in the lntermountain Conference Competition. There were 15 players on the roster, Shelly Reynolds, Jan Reece, Kathy Loudenberg, Jan Chapman, Mary Zerebeckyj, Linda Waterman, Eloise NewelJ, Mary Geedes, Shfrley O'Connell, Doris ='Jolan, Betty Krueger, Patti Wiggam, Linda Dillon, Karen Kalohelani and Cheryl Fox. I mention their names, because I am sure they would also be considerably off ended by your uninformed attempt at stereotyp­ing and discrimination against female athletes. This team's picture will be fea­tured in the Athletic Trophy Case this week, and I challenge you, Mr. \\.'alter, to find any resemblence to the grotesque "dogmeat" you depicted in your feeble attempt at humor.

All of the people named above contributed to an impressive record for "the new college in the state" at that time by posting a 7 win~-7 loss record prior to regional Intermountain Conference playoffs. They posted two wins over Colo­rado Women's College, 2 wins over University of Southern Colorado, and also defeated Adams State, University of Colorado, and North Eastern Junior Col­lege. By doing so, they qualified for the regional tournament at Brigham Young University, a 16-team single-elimination playoff with first-round consolation.

Unfortunately, they lost in the first round to the University of Wyoming, but then went on to defeat Weber State, Brigham Young University and Southern Utah State, to win the Consolation Bracket Championship. Hardly the creative list of idiotic opponents you dreamed up in the cartoon.

The next time your mind wanders to sports, Mr. Walter, which it is obvious you do not understand, and you dream up a cartoon, I think it behooves you and the credibility of THE METRO POLI} AN to entertain some reasonable sensitiv­ity. Get your facts straight and don't misrepresent the efforts and dedication of any facet of the student body at Metro State.

Dying Class Beco: Rose Jackson MetroStyle Editor

"This is Kenneth, the new owner of my daughter's left kidney."

Mickey Axtell often introduces Sabatka this way to the audiences around Denver who gather to hear their story.

For the last two-and-a-half years Axtell and Sabatka have spoken each semester in the MSC Psychology of Death and Dying course, and hkve tra­velled recently to New York to tell their story on the Phil Donahue Show about how possibly 100, but especially four, lives benefitted from the tragic death of Axtell's 16-year:old daughter, Michelle Carey.

Axtell, a 35-year-old divorced mother of four, took Mary Ann Watson's death and dying class in the Fall of 1981 with a friend whose son had been shot and killed.

One of the assignments for the class was to fill out a mortuary form in which she had to specify what she wanted done when she died. She then had to share this with three members of her family.

"I shared mine with my mom, sister and daughter (Michelle)," Axtell said. "Michelle and I had a humourous time at dinner talking about it because I had filled mine out with London House dancers .(a gr<,mp of 1950s dancers that Axtell belonged to) as pall bearers and other funny things." .

"Michelle told me everything that she wanted and we laughed about some things," A;ictell said. "But she did say that she didn't want to be buried in the ground where the worms could eat her, and to give anything th·at's usable away. She also wanted to be cremated, and not to be kept alive artificially.

"These were the only things I had to hold on to five months later when she died," Axtell said.

"I probably would have been a help­less female on the floor in a heap had it not been for talcing that class."

On the night of Feb. 21, 1982, · Michelle and two friends took an unfamiliar way home from another friend's house. Her best friend was

impact but·they kept her alive for 42 hours.

"It freaked ~ out when Flight for · ..., Life (helicopter from St. Anthony's) landed-he thought he was back in

·Viet Nam," Axtell said. ••

"What I learned in class first kicked in when we were at the hospital," Axtell said, "when she was on artificial life support. She hadn't wanted to be kept alive artificially. ·

·~It's horrib.le; it doesn't look like life at all because the body is forced with air ... it looks like something out of Frankenstein," Axtell said.

"Because I had dealt with all these issues of death and dying, I seemed to be.the only one who knew she was dead. . "Michelle was wheeled out in front of us ... we weren't supposed to be there when they wheeled the body into

driving the jeep they were in, and none of them as yet had a driver's license, Axtell said.

The driver made a quick left in front of oncoming traffic and panicked when she saw a median blocking her. way into the right lane. The jeep veered over the curb, down an embankment and flipped over. Aii three girls were thrown from the vehicle.

Michelle's friends suffered bruises, but Michelle hit a tree. A Viet Nam veteran who had seen the entire epi­sode resuscitated the body of Michelle and began the legally binding process of artificial life support.

The shock, however, sat Axtell down 'On the cold, hard hospital floor.

For the next 42 hours, Michelle's -family and friends from Westminster High School streamed in and out of the hospital. Axtell said that anyone who wanted to see Michelle, no matter his or her age, she took up to the room to reinforce the fact that Michelle was no longer in that body.

Michelle's father, Patrick Carey, was a minister in the Quaker church for a

Axtell held a memorial celebration for Michelle.

'J had her dressed as if she was get­ting married," Axtell said. "I put her in her favorite dress, a Gunny Sax that we found on sale, and I wanted to apply her makeup for viewing because she had taught me how to do makeup.

"I would never have had her viewed if it weren't for all the people at West­minster High School who needed to see her dead," Axtell continued.

"They would not have iet her go because the other two walking around weren't dead, and they~d always be askin~, what happened to Michelle?'"

"I had 'I Want to Live' by John Denver played-that got a lot of people-and 'Michelle' by the Beatles.

"I also did something I'd always threatened Michelle I'd do-show nude baby pictures to her boyfriends," Axtell said.

Axtell decided to put on a slide­show presentation at the church cele­brating her daughter's life. She went through the albums of family members and tried to include people she knew would be at the celebration.

''The show brought a lot of tears, but also a lot of laughter," Axtell said.

Earlier that year, Axtell had set up a challenge bowl to raise money for the Big Sisters, a program she was involved in. She had set up two teams: one with the '50's dancers and one with the Careys-Michelle, her father and grandfather .

"Well, my friends teaae me saying that my voice is higher, I'm rying to 'keep up with a 16-year-old's sex drive, and I have to sit fown to go the bathroom."

The bowling competition was sche­duled to take place on the. day of Michelle's funeral. Obviously, Michelle could not bowl.

"But Grampa wanted to bowl," Axtell said. "So we all had our bowling balls in the trunk of the car at the church.

"We bowled our hearts out. It was wonderful thro.wing those balls down there because I knew she was being cremated at the time.

"When Pa got up and bowled his last

strike, he said, 'That was for my little girl"'

Axtell wore the dress her daughter was viewed in and spoke to Dr. Watson's death and dying class for the first time five weeks after Michelle's death.

The second time Axtell spoke to Watson's class, she had a special guest.

"As the year went on, I wondered who the people were who received the transplants, and I wondered how they changed their lives," Axtell said.

She contacted Paul Taylor, coordi­nator of the Organ Transplant Pro­gram at the University ·of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and convinced him, after having to go through a bat­tery of psychological testing, to send letters to the recipients urging them to contact her.

On the anniversary of Michelle's death, Axtell received a card from Sabatka. He was the first of three recipients to respond.

"I was curious about the person who

said, 'Well, I'm blind and I'll just drink my coffee and go home.'," Axtell remembered.

"There's no way after I saw him that I could walk away," she said. "I went up and put my arms around his neck and hugged him."

Watson had promised not to tell her students about this for fear that some would "chicken out" Axtell said, and not show up. So Axtell briefly told her story and then introduced Sabatka as the "new owner of my daughter's left kidney."

"Some people reacted to him like he was a monster," Axtell said, " even though he doesn't look threatening.''

'They asked if I had the right to contact him, and he answered that it was his choice."

"And then they asked how the kid­ney h~d changed his life':

Sabatka answered, "Well, my friends tease me saying that my voice is higher, I'm trying to keep up with a

"The only thing I knew was that the kidney came from a sixteen-year-old girl who was killed in an auto accident."

Sabatka and Axtell spoke on the phone, but never planned a meeting until Watson invited Axtell to speak again in her class.

In May 2, Axtell's birthday, Axtell and Sabatka met in the UCD coffee shop an hour before they spoke.

I said on the phone, 'Kenneth, what if I can't deal with this?', and Kenneth

The audience dissolved in laughter.

"Honestly, I have to sit down to go to the bathroom because I'm blind," he added.

Axtell and Sabatka give a disclaimer before they speak. They do not advo­cate seeking out the recipients of organ donations.

"What if the recipient turned out to be J oho Hinckley Jr. (the man who tried to assasinate President Reagan)? Would you want the kidney back?" Axtell asked. D

/ Her knees pump wildly, lifting torso-high, and each footstep sinks into snow rising midway to her calves.

Her feet spring from the wetness as she races blindly, the wall of her chest crushed against her back, her lungs burning, raging, out of control, but she cannot feel it.

Wet cold slaps her mercilessly, making her vision blurred white, phasing out the things she does not want to see and she runs harder, her knees no longer discernable, her lungs two possessions of the past.

Slim legs blend with the wind, the flames licking at her nostrils; and her lips form a wide vengeful grin as her vision becomes a smooth and complete white.

She was bound to be a Runner.

Grateful

Photography by Alec Pearce ·

The Dead rose once again at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Last Saturday capped the third and final day of mid-afternoon Grateful Dead concerts that marked the band's

· 20th anniversary. \;\,'eather threatened to put out the

"fii;e on the mountain." But Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and com­pany brought their ov.m thunder and lightning to dish out to the ever-faithful "Dead Heads."

Such favorites as "Truckin" and "Shakedown Street" brought several hundred people to the wide stairways that bank each side of the amphi­theater. On the stairs, the "Heads" seemed one with the music as they spun their bodies, kicked their legs and swirled their arms like snakes.

One man sat meditating with his eyes rolled upwards while others · danced gracefully around him.

The "Heads" assembled inside the amphitheater, on the rocks behind the stage and on the hills west of the park.

When the band stumbled into aver­sion of "Hey Jude," bodies stirred like palm trees in the wind. The Beatles' song seemed to awaken many people who had been mesmerized by the band.

Yet, the end was near for most of the folks who couldn't grace the audience on the band's next stop. For those, the band played "Bye-Bye Baby Blue.''

The ~rls soccer team got off to a fast start, scoring the first goal of the game, but eventually fell to nationally ranked Colorado College 8-1 Saturday.

Starting seven freshmen, MSC could not overcome the depth of a much stronger Colorado College squad. "We just didn't have the depth to com­pete; we only had three substitutes," stated coach Ed Montojo.

Colorado College, ranked 8th nationally and 2nd in the west, was led by Kathy Willoughby, formerly of the U.S. national team. Their rooster included three college all-arnericans.

The MSC women's volleyball team opened its season last Thursday in exhibition play against a tough MSC alumni team.

The varsity team appeared tense in the opening game as it dropped a 15-10 decision. After rebounding "vith a 15-12 win, the women conceded the final game 15-7.

The junior varsity split games with the second-string alumni, losing 15-11, and then posted a 15-3 drubbing.

The varsity was consistently under fire from alumni Carol Brown, class of 1982, and Sandy Sutliff, eligibility ended 1979, who were both powerful in returning volleys.

Senior Donna Baros said she had .expected the alumni to be tough.

"They are talented players, and we are still trying to get things right for our next game," she said.

Senior Cathy Guiles, who turned in a strong performance at the net, agreed the alumni were no surprise.

"They started their best players, and most of them are still active players," Guiles said.

"Just watch this next game though," she said, referring to the second game, which unfurled victory.

The victory was hard fought with assist specialist Sue Hays digging sev-

THE

eral spikes from ankle level to preserve the win.

Head coach Pat Johnson said she learned what the team would have to work on.

"Our defense needs a little work, but I was pleased over all," she said. "It's hard to get the team excited when they're playing against their friends."

Junior varsity coach David Barkley said his team of freshman played very well.

"This is the girls' f irst game together," he said. "They are talented, and I feel everyone eventually will make varsity."

The Roadrunners took Thursday's experience on the road and used the lesson to beat Mesa College Saturday night.

The women lost the first game of the match 15-12, but bounced back for three straight wins: 15-10, 15-2, 15-10.

Coach Johnson said it was a great win on the road.

" It was a tough test, but our team turned in a solid performance all around," Johnson said.

"Donna Baros played exceptionally well," she said. "Probably one ot the best games she has ever played."

The women's next match is in War­rensburg, Mo., where they will play a two-day tournament starting Friday, Sept. 13. O

SPORTS Denver Cable Channel to Air Metro Athletics

'

Several Metropolitan State College sporting events including soccer, vol­leyball and women's body building will be on prime-time television this fall, the MSC public relations depart­ment announced last week.

Michael Klahr, MSC's public rela­tions assistant in sports promotion said five Denver cable television systems will produce a two-hour weekly show called "Metropolitan State College Pre­sents," which will feature men's and women's soccer, volleyball, basketball and various other entertainment.

The tape-delayed events, which will run for 13 weeks, will be seen on Denver's American Cablevision systems

on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m., while Mile He Cablevision will show the program Thursdays from 8 to IO p.m., beginning Sept. 19, Klahr said.

United Cable may also enter into the picture, but a weekly time period has not been determined, Klahr said.

Klahr, who will be doing play-by­play of the sporting events, started the idea of bringing cable television to MSC last fall with a one-time produc­tion of an MSC baseball game, a bas­ketball game, and a Metro-sponsored U.S. vs Japan women's volleyball match.

But with a 13-week program leading off with Metro's men's soccer team against the University of Colorado at

Several MSC coaches also are excited with the exposure. Bill Helman, Met­ro's athletic director and head baseball coach, said this will be a positive step for Metro sports.

"It's a real shot in the arm for our program," Helman said. "I hope peo­ple will watch it."

With the possibility of Metro athlet­ics reaching thousands of homes later this spring, Helman said not only major
