Apolonia Portilla puts the finishing touches on a concrete floor in a section of the new expansion area of the PER Building. There were hopes this fall that the gymnasium renovations would be close enough to completion to accommodate basketball games by Feb. 1. The MSCD men's basketball team hosted the CAC To~rnament Feb. 28 and March 1. Since the gym is still under construction, the tournament was held at Denve West High School. The completion date for the gym has been pushed back to July.

CoPIRG referendum wins spot on ballot J.C. Long The Metropolitan

The Colorado Public Interest Research Group's petition drive successfully concluded Feb. 26 with 2,500 student signatures.

Because CoPIRG's three-year contract with Metropolitan State College of Denver ends in June, members and supporters of CoPIRG have been asking students to sign petitions to show support and to get a referendum added to this year's student ballot.

The referendum will give stu­dents the chance to vote on whether they want to keep the optional $3 CoPIRG fee.

According to the MSCD Stu­dent Government constitution, a petition signed by 10 percent of the student body must be obtained to get a referendum added to the bal­lot.

Elizabeth Hauptman, local board chair for CoPIRG, said that the petition drive concluded Feb. 26.

They only needed 1,800 signa-

tures to get the referendum added to this year's ballot, but Hauptman said they got an extra 700 signa­tures to cover an estimated 10 per­cent of the signatures that could be invalid.

Hauptman said she expects the referendum to pass.

If the issue passes, CoPIRG will have to negotiate a new contract with Student Affairs, she said.

The student elections will be April 2-4. 0

Library closed, searched

Denver K-9 unit _responds to campus bomb threats Jeff Delmonico The Metropolitan

People using the Auraria Library got an unexpected break Feb. 23 when the building was evacuated for more than an hour because of a telephone bomb threat.

The Denver Police De­partment received a call at 11 :53 a.m. from a person claiming bombs had been planted in the library and the North Classroom Building.

The DPD notified Auraria Public Safety personnel and officers from both depart­ments responded within min­utes, according to APS Sgt. Jim Ferguson.

"We don't get many bomb threats," Ferguson said.

" Bomb threats are not common, but we do get them once and awhile," he said.

Four officers from the DPD arrived with a bomb­sniffing dog - a black La­brador named Molly.

Jose Puertas, an MSCD student, was left in charge at the library circulation desk when police informed him of the threat.

Puertas said that although

bomb threats usually tum out to be hoaxes, he felt that it was better to evacuate the students and let Molly do her job.

The North Classroom Building was not evacuated but warning signs were posted on all the entrances and the people inside were notified of the threat. Individuals h~d the option to leave the building if they felt threat­ened. The building was checked but nothing was found.

Ryann Hamilton, a library assistant, and technician Bill Brandenburg, from the DPD K-9 unit, escorted Molly around the basement of the library. Hamilton said that Brandenburg told her "If she (Molly) smells anything, she will calmly sit down. So if she sits down, you better get out of here."

The library had approxi­mately 200 students in it at the time of the threat. Ev­eryone left the building.

After the dog sniffed the entire library and nothing was found, the library was re­opened to the public. The li­brary was closed from 12:15 to 1 :40 p.m. 0

Tivoli: S'hopping mall or student center? Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan

Students could be hanging out in a new student center - the Tivoli Brewery - if the Auraria Higher Education Center is suc­cessful in buying back the lease for the building.

The current Student Union would become an office and class­room building under the proposal.

According to AHEC Executive Vice President for Administration JoAnn Soker, the Tivoli Brewery conversion project may require the issuance of bonds and an increase in student fees.

The Tivoli Brewery is owned by AHEC but is currently leased to Trizec, a Canadian firm which also has interests in several Denver real estate developments, including Larimer Square and the Dominion Plaza office towers.

B. Gene Condon, of Hahn Co., who manages the property for Trizec, refused to discuss the de-

tails of the lease. "When we signed the lease we

thought this was the greatest thing since peanut butter," Soker said.

"The hope was that the rev­enues from the Tivoli would help support the campus.

Obviously the revenues have not materialized as we had ex­pected," she said.

If the brewery were to become a student center, the current retail establishments, including the AMC movie theater and the bars and restaurants would be invited to stay, Soker said.

On Feb. 11, The AHEC Board of Directors went into a closed­door executive session to discuss the lease buy-out.

The session may have violated Colorado's Sunshine Law cover­ing open meetings.

The Colorado Sunshine Law states that closed meetings may be held to discuss, "The purchase of property for public purpose," but does not refer specifically to the

I

discussions of lease purchases. Soker said that the closed meet­

ing was not held in violation of the Sunshine Law because the lease qualified as an interest in real property.

The law also states that two­thirds of the board's members must vote to approve executive sessions

and that the board chair must an­noun~e the topic to be discussed in the session.

Betty Miller, chair of the board, said that a vote was not taken be­fore the session and minutes taken during the board meeting suggest that the topic of the executive ses­sion was not revealed. 0

MSCD students write for Colorado pros Adam Shockley The Metropolitan

Eleven Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver reporting students got the chance to have their stories read by editors from l 00 of the 150 newspapers in Colorado who at­tended the annual Colorado Press Association convention held Feb. 21-23 at the Brown Palace Hotel.

The CPA invited students from MSCD and six other Colorado colleges to submit journalistic sto­ries on topics chosen by CPA board

members. Volunteer journalists and publishing professionals worked together to produce exclu­sive editions of ''The Colorado Editor," the association's newspa­per, for each group of college stu­dents.

For Kari Vasby, MSCD sophomore, the event was nothing short ofa thrill . "I enjoyed it a lot," said Vas by, whose story appeared on the front page of the MSCD edition. "It was just an all around positive experience for me," she said.

The first edition, dated Feb. 21,

contained only those stories writ­ten by MSCD students. Subsequent editions were made for each of the college groups. Hostesses of the event directed editors and other convention guests to look at the newspaper for a schedule of each day's activities.

All of the student groups whose editions were published Feb. 21 had to focus on the question, "How does a media outlet balance its role as a member of the business com­munity and its responsibility to report the news objectively?" Sto­ries published in MSCD's edition

focused on topic-related subjects ranging from the views of James Batten, chief executive offic~r for Knight-Ridder publications, to a story on the business climate for fledgling newspapers in Colorado.

The CPA is an organization comprised of the leading newspa­pers in Colorado. The group was formed in 1878 to pursue the in­terests of member companies. The CPA has represented its members in court cases and pays two of its employees to lobby for legislation involving free speech and media­related issues. 0

Scholarship created in name of deceased prof Adam Shockley The Metropolitan

He would have been proud. Friends and former colleagues

of the late Gerald Fenger have created the Gerald Fenger Memo­rial Scholarship Fund to help Metropolitan State College of Denver students meet the costs of getting a college education.

The proceeds from one of the upcoming performances of the play, "Ludlow," produced by MSCD English professor Larry Bograd will be donated to the fund.

Last semester, Dec. 6, Gerald Fenger, MSCD English professor andnotedMarkTwainexpert,died in his sleep at age 50.

He died from a heart attack due to complications of long-term diabetes.

Although Fenger knew be was

dying, his friends on the MSCD faculty could offer no reason why he continued to teach even when the effects of diabetes left him le­gally blind.

For his wife Charlotte, the rea­son was obvious. "His whole ex­istence was predicated on his love of teaching," she said.

Charlotte said that her husband hadagiftfortouchingyoungminds. It was an ability that he demon­strated at home.

"He was a wonderful influence on my own son," she said referring to Omar Hurricane, her son from a previous marriage. "He was doing very poorly in school," she said of Hurricane. "Because of Gerald, he went on to have straight A's throughout the rest of his educa­tion," Charlotte said. Hurricane is now a professor at the University of California at Irvine.

According to evaluations men­tioned by Charlotte, it was an in-

fluence that extended to many oth­ers. ''The students he taught con­sistently gave him high grades for enthusiasm and knowledge," she said. "They felt he believed in fairness ."

JoAnn Soker, Auraria Higher Education Center executive vice president for Administration, is working with Mrs. Fenger to dedi­cate a park bench on campus to the memory of the professor.

Fenger began work at MSCD in September of 1967. Starting out as an English professor, faculty members elected him to be the first MSCD Faculty Senate vice presi­dent, he served as acting Faculty Senate president from September of 1979 until his death.

Fenger was a member of the the American Association of Univer­sity Professors from 1967 to 1980 and was elected the MSCD chap­ter delegate to the AAUP national meeting in 1973. He was the chap-

ter president for 1974 and 1975. Before settling down in Colo­

rado, Fenger produced, directed and performed in a local Minne­sota television program titled "Precinct 12."

Starring as Officer Fenger, he presented educational programs and cartoons to children in the live half-hour show.

Born June 8, 1940, Fenger at­tended Mankato State College in Minnesota.

Receiving his bachelor's degree in 1963, he graduated magna cum laude and was offered five fel­lowships for graduate work, a record number at the time.

He accepted a fellowship at Texas Christian University where he obtained a master's degree.

Ii:i addition to his wife and Hurricane, Fenger is survived by three natural children, Suzanne Steidler, William Fenger and Ja­son Fenger. 0

Homeless out in the cold, but determined

Roundtrip summer fares from Denver

London $ 569 Paris $ 594 Tokyo $ 729 Sydney $1165 Auckland $1065 Bangkok $ 939 Hong Kong $ 829

Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan

Some Auraria students never go home after school because they have no home.

Richard Carter works as a student adviser for the Office of Information and Referral, Housing, and Disability Services on campus and deals with homeless students' problems. He said students' "situations are varied. Some are working part-time jobs and can't afford to move into a place. Others have no job because they're full-time students and are getting just enough financial aid to cover tuition and books."

Some of Carter's stories about homeless students are reminiscent of a Charles Dickens tale.

One involved a student in his late40s who

was forced to withdraw from school this semester. "He's a full-time student," Carter said. "He's getting ready to graduate and he's been Jiving out of his car. He tried the shelter route for a couple of days and it didn't work out at all."

Carter said that this student was forced to withdraw from college as a direct result of his living conditions.

He's in Denver General Hospital right now, having toes amputated for frostbite," Carter said. "During that cold snap that we had back in December his foot came out of his sleeping bag and he got frostbite.

He's so close to finishing his degree that nothing is going to stop bjm. I'm amazed at his focus. He's really willing to go through some hardships to get his degree and he's willing to get a job if he can find one."

Carter said that he is often surprised by

the tenacity of the students he advises. "One woman had five kids," Carter said. "She was being evicted and needed to find a place that would take five kids and a dog. She wasn't really homeless but she was on the border­line. She's one of those people w~o you just look at and say,' My God, how is this person ever going to make it.' And she made it. I occasionally see her on campus and she's finishing up her degree."

Carter said he sometimes finds housing for the students in homes with elderly or djsabled people who need live-in health care providers.

"This is a unjque kind of campus," Carter said. "You're not going to find this sort of situation that much at CU-Boulder or at CSU. But here (at Auraria) it's amazjng the type of people we get in looking for hous­ing." 0

posed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer, is meant to teach an understanding and ap­preciation of different American cultures, according to Doug Cawley, chair of the General Stuilies Committee.

The criteria for a multicultural class are to give students the opportunity to explore the formation and evolution of cultural values, to analyze the factors which lead to the formation and continuation of cultural groups within a society and to develop ·a sensitivity to the customs and identities of diverse cultural groups, including an inves­tigation of bias, prejudice and discrirnina-

ti on. The groups to be studied are cultural and

ethnic minorities in the United States, and groups characterized by gender, sexual ori­entation, age or disability.

Courses suggested should meet all these criteria as well as the general studies re­quirements to be classified multicultural stuilies, Cawley said.

Many current courses will meet the re­quirements with only minor changes in the curriculum and may be classified multicultural studies if submitted to theGSC by their departments, he said. 0

Lawrence E. Jones The Metropolitan

The quaint, Italian-style house on the Ninth Street historical park at Auraria looks like it should be the location of an elderly ladies' bridge club. Instead, it holds a better future for veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

The Veterans Upward Bound program has its offices in the Roop House, located at 1024 Ninth St. Inside are people dedicated to helping veterans of all ages and back­grounds achieve their GED or prepare for college.

"I look at it as a stepping-stone program," said Michael Jones, a VUB counselor.

Almost all who work here are veterans themselves. Glenn Morris, director of VUB and Vietnam veteran, has been working with the program for 17 years. He served with the Marine Advisory Command during 1964 and 1965. After returning from the war and living in New York, Morris decided that was not what he wanted. Upon moving to Denver, he applied for a position with the veterans' assistanc-e program. According to Morris, it was a "miracle" that he was hired. He became the· director of what would be­come the VUB.

The program, said Morris, dealt with a different crowd then.

Jake Lindsay, program specialist, re­members dealing with Vietnam veterans. According to Lindsay, they were laden with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, social ills and emotional baggage.

Lindsay said. Any veteran with an honorable discharge

is eligible for VUB assistance. During a 12-week semester, veterans are taught how to pass their GED exams or how to prepare for college, whichever the need. Lindsay said that 95 percent of their students pass the GED on the first attempt after taking the classes.

"We are like a college in ourselves," said Lindsay.

The VUB hires and trains its own teachers and counselors, with the most important requirements being flexibility and adapt­ability. Classes are similar to the old "one­room schoolhouse" in that students are at different levels of education. Helping vet­erans is a satisfying achievement to Lindsay.

"It's good to see them progress," he said. Morris said he saw a new breed of veteran

coming into the program in the 1990s. "A more mature group of vets will come back from the Gulf," he said.

Fighting in ~ war will affect the future participants in the VUB. Enrollment for colleges will increase just as it did after Vietnam. According to Morris, war reminds a young person of their mortality and the realization that they don't have forever.

The war struck close to home for the VUB counselors. One of their own, Erik Fransen, was sent to the Persian Gulf only two weeks into tlie spring semester.

The counselors at VUB are as diverse as the people they serve. Roger Rohrer served two years in the service and describes himself as "your all-American, white bread kind of guy." Rohrer worked with Art Sims, an

Glenn Morris African-American who retired from the Army as a First Sergeant after 24 years of service.

Both are proud of what they do at the VUB. They do their best to help their charges acclimate to their new environment. Sims said his experience helps him to relate to the soldiers who have been living in the service, a place where they had little or no control over their own lives.

''We try to m~e them feel at ease so they don't feel like they 're on the outside," said Rohrer.

Sims, who served during the Vietnam era, saw how the veterans of that war were treated after it had ended. He doesn't w antto see it happen again with the veterans of the

· Gulf War. "Think about what you' re going to do for

them when they get back," he said. "Once it's over, they're forgotten about." 0

ARTS Exhibition dispels racism

Plight of migrant worker explored through art Cheryl Helmuth The Metropolitan

The Chicano civil rights movement, El Movimiento, officially began when Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm Work­ers Association in the mid 1960s and led a successful national boycott against grapes in protest of the poor treatment of migrant Hispanic farm workers by the vineyard owners.

Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation, 1965-1985, explores the relationship be­tween El Movimiento and the art that was

/ created in response to that movement. The exhibit, the most comprehensive of its type ever presented on the history of Chicano art, will be on view until March 17 at the Denver Art Museum. The exhibition includes art work which explores politics, feminism, cultural values and the plight of the migrant farm worker.

The exhibition features about 150 works by more than 90 Chicano artists from throughout the United States, including nine from Colorado. The show includes painting, sculpture, prints and photography with ar­tistic styles ranging from Regional Expres­sionism to Surrealism.

An emphasis is placed on public art such as murals and posters in part because both are fairly inexpensive to produce and can be exposed to wide audiences, making them an ideal means of communication.

Murals were one of the first forms of Chicano art to receive national attention. The exhibition includes a seven-minute slide show of murals from around the country.

According to Ricardo Lafon~, a volunteer with the Denver Art Museum, "Chicano" is a name· that Mexican-Americans gave themselves in the 1960s. He said it defines a people who are bilingual and bicultural, and who, although they are U.S. citizens, still place a great emphasis on their Mexican cultural heritage.

Lafore noted that Mexicans had been in

North America long before Europeans be­gan arriving in 1492. He pointed out that a great deal o~ Mexican territory was lost to the United States in the Mexican-American war in 1848. The lands we now know as Te~as, California, New Mexico, Nevada and parts of Arizona and Colorado, had all once been part of Mexico.

Lafon~ said the Mexican-American bor­der is "a capricious border," and that " an open border could be mutually beneficial."

One of the driving forces behind the Chicano civil rights movement was to dispel prejudice and discrimination against Chicanos and to affirm the bicultural heri­tage of the Chicano.

One example of this is a work by Rudy Martinez called "A J uanderful Piece." It is a light-hearted satiricil response to sugges­tions by non-Chicanos that he create art with "Chicano flavor." It consists of a three­dimensional polychrome glazed ceramic head and shoulders sculpture of a Chicano man, which protrudes from a painted canvas background of a sleepy, rural barrio.

"A Juanderful Piece" exaggerates many of the visual stereotypes assigned to tbe Chicano man.

Lafore said that he hopes the exhibition will heighten understanding of Chicanos and help to eliminate racism. He encourages people of all races to find a mutual under­standing and to be respectful of differences. In doing so, he said people tend to find there are actually more similarities than differ­ences.

The exhibition, which was organized by the University of California-Los Angeles Wight Art Gallery, will travel to eight other cities in the U.S. including San Francisco, Chicago and New York; and will also go to Madrid and Mexico City. 0

OPtED Enemy mine

Success wrought through antagonistic relationships Dave Plank

It began last fall: a torrent (one piece) of hate mail taped to the door of the newspaper office, seeking to destroy me by attacking my comments about air­planes, politics, the American frat system and student government, and my use of the word satire.

In an effort to look grown up and open minded, I tried to shrug off the spirited prose, the inspired use of a vulgar reference to the human procreative act in the same sentence as the word obituary, the way even the pencil strokes on the missive conveyed a sense of real hatred. But deep down, I was wounded.

Then, at some point during my period of implacable despair, I came to a stunning realization. The emotion this person must have felt as they put into words their vile, if constitutionally protected, message of hate! I found myself wondering: could these people be my enemies?

I sort of hope so. I've always wanted a good enemy. I think enemies are important to the psychological well­being of a person, because they present such a handy ventforfrustration. Car won't start? Damn those Iraqis! Toaster burned your breakfast? Internal Revenue Service Nazis! You can feel your fear and frustration melt away instantly, and it's gotto be better for you than free-basing. Even Superman would be a pathetic, ranting mess if he didn't have Lex Luthor to blame when he was in a crappy mood.

When Sean Connery won his Oscar a couple of years ago, he thanked his friends and his wife, and

LETTERS

then, with a wicked grin" ... a few enemies." You could almost hear all of America murmur thoughtfully to themselves, Ahh . .. Enemies.

So is getting and maintaining enemies one of the secrets to a happy, successful life, like oat bran or flossing your teeth? Eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, acquire inexorable foes - is that the for­mula?

History suggests so. Every great man and woman, in every field of endeavor, has had lots of enemies. Even Will Rogers never said anything aboutthe people he met who didn't like him. (Memo to self - must enemy-having be reciprocated? Reread all of Sartre tonight.)

Not that friends aren't important, too, but they have their place. Feeling comfy-cozy after a dinner party at your best friend from high schools' house is OK for some people, but the bottom line is that good spirits and camaraderie, like herbal tea and light beer, are for weaklings.

Children have friends. Adults have enemies. In fact, enemies may be the best proof that one has finally reached the plateau of adulthood, that one has as­serted oneself in a world run by institutions of pacifi­cation and infantilization, a world where "have a nice day" has become the mind-numbing Gregorian Chant of the mediocre.

So aren't our enemies, even the posturing geek nincompoops wh9 leave nasty notes on doors and write Letters to the Editor, really the footprints left in the sand by the combat boots of oyr selfhood? To ask the

question is to answer it: Well, yeah, I guess so. What does Sean Connery think? I'll tell you what he thinks. He doesn't think about tapping on pet store windows and making faces at the puppies, and he wouldn't dream of drinking Celestial Seasonings tea. And he's not afraid of kicking a little butt when he needs to.

Actually I really don't know what I'm talking about. The closest I've ever come to exchanging blows was when I was about nine years old, and my summer camp partner stole and ate the Butterfinger out of my lunch box. Just as I was about to knock him on his pre­pubescent ass, a counselor stepped in and the ugly conflict was avoided. But I wonder- if I'd gone ahead and let the Butterfinger thief have it - would I have been more assertive three years later, when Ricky Lane hid the frog I was supposed to be .dissecting in sixth grade biology? Truly a thought to ponder.

When it· comes to having enemies, most people don't knowwhatto think. Sure it's easy to automatically disapprove of self·aggrandizing hatred, self-justifying grudges, and the systematic.dehumanization of others - in other words, everything that makes enemy­finding and -having worthwhile .. But the grown-up realizes that having principles and values means con­stant conflict with those who don't. Unreasonable hatred of many of your fellows is a fact of life, like it or not.

And hey, how bad can it be? It's worked for Sean Connery.

Rebuttal: Smokers' rights infringe on rights of non-smokers Editor,

While reading the January 18, 1991, article "Cam­pus smoking ban butt of criticism", I couldn't help but remember a previous conversation with a person who smoked. The conversation concerned the 'rights' vio­lation of this person who complained about how he felt by the end of a plane trip . He complained that he had the jitters until the flight ended one or two hours later, after which he could light up again and his discomfort would go away.

The following are my thoughts and opinions and not necessarily those of my campus office.

Symptoms for those of us who are sensitive to cigarette smoke, a minimum of 15% of the population, do not go away so readily. For me the inflammation of sinus passages, collapsed Eustachian tube causes fluid filled ear passages and reduced hearing as well as impaired equilibrium. I feel fortunate when this reaction lasts only a day or two following less than an hour' s exposure. Sometimes iC means doctor ap­pointments, antibotics, dizziness, loss of concentration in my classes and at work.

Often we get into an argument of 'rights' and other seemingly logical banter and yet there are other issues that seldom are talked about. Let's address the issues in the article such as:

(I) the "room in the Central Classroom Building where we could smoke ... we were not endangering anyone or offending them in any way and now they do this." The thick smoke in that room exited through the ventilation system into the rest of the building and the

smoke exited through the usually open door. The door to the smoking lounge in the Arts Building was often propped open even though it was supposed to be closed at all times. Workers in the Arts Building closed the doors as often as five times a day to escape the smoke . Additionally, the smoke permeated clothing of the smoker has a lingering effect and can cause a reaction in smoke sensitive individuals.

(2) "I don't have any health insurance here and they wouldn't pay one cent for me if I got sick." We all pay the medical costs for smokers and for others who are affected by smoke: these costs are averaged into the overall total . The medical costs for my emphysemic

. father lasted eight years: most of the incredible costs were borne by the tax payer.

(3) "It's like saying 'we don't like you, we don't want you here.'" Our society has protected itself in a number of ways from the effects of substances and substance abuse, such as; reducing the amount of alcolhol that a person can consume before driving and making cer­tain drugs illegal to use. It is not an issue of not 'liking' someone or rejecting someone, it is an issue of pro­tecting one's self from the harmful effects the habit of smoking.

(4) "Regular visitors of the Mission, smokers and nonsmokers, believe it is unfair that we cannot smoke while drinking beer." There are many students who do not go to the Mission because the smoke is so un­comfortable and thereby never become 'regulars.'

Let's deal with an issue of smoking which was not covered in the article, nicotine addiction: (a) Nicotine is

addictive, as addictive as heroin and cocaine, (b) At least 15% of the population have immediate adverse reactions to cigarette smoke, (c) The rest of the popu­lation inhales 4,000 chemicals (such as DDT, arsenic, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide) from the smoke of a cigarette. The Student Health Clinic in the Student Union offers a smoking cessation program and has Nicorette gum available - phone 556-2525.

There was mention in the article about a petition to reverse the ban. Isn't ittime to use our energy preserving our health and our environment? Isn't it time to expend energy in dealing subjectively with an addiction rather than trying to convince our legislators that they should grant the right for a person to jeopardize their health, as well as, the health of others? Isn't it time to look into pleasures that are less self-destructive?

A wise old sage once defined democracy as free­dom to do what ever we want to do, but he added that our freedom ends where our neighbor's nose begins. Would we subject a heart patient to undue stress, would we remove oxygen.from a breathing impaired person, would we subject a person to a harmful chemical? Most people would say no, but, we do when we subject them to cigarette/cigar/pipe smoke. It's not an intentionally harmful act, nor are smokers malicious, just addicted.

Lack of administrative c_oncern leads to concerns Editor,

We recently learned that Dr. Antonio Esquibel was no longer the Vice President of Student Affairs and that his position was completely eliminated. The respon­sibilities of Student Affairs would now be under the direction of Dr. Williams, the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Now, there is a void of Chicano/Latino influence in the top decision making levels of Metropolitan State College of Denver.

M.S.C.D. is a multi-cultural institution of higher learning, which is supposed to be open and accessible to everyone. Dr. Brewer has often commented that he is committed to a bias free environment and has made efforts to address the diverse cultural needs of this campus.

However, this institution is completely surrounded by Chicano/Latino and African American communities which have limited access to it. M.S.C.D. is located in a city where people of color represent over 65% of the public schools and 20% of college enrollment..

Chicano students who have attended M.S.C.D. have often complained of alienation. Many feel that professors lack sufficient multi cultural communication skills. Others feel that the curriculum is often not relevant to their historical conditions or social experi­ences. There is an overall sentiment that M.S.C.D. lacks sufficient support services which sensitive to the needs of Chicano/Latino students to keep them on

campus. If Chicano and Latino students were adequately

represented, if there hadn't been a history of dis­crimination, and if M.S. C. D. had a tradition of providing the proper multi-cultural environment in its curriculum, these wouldn't be important' concerns. Bold and cre­ative solutions are needed. Assuming that Dr. Brewer does have a commitment to create a fair and equal learning environment at M.S.C.D., I wonder how he expects to grapple with these complicated issues without the input of a qualified person who has first­hand knowledge of the needs of Chicanos and Latinos.

It is the moral and ethical obligation of this institution to break down the barriers which prevent people of color from having an equal opportunity to getting an education. Anything short of this simply maintains the status quo and continues the cycle of discrimination based on nationality and race. Everyone, of every nationality, deserves the right to an education if they want it.

Falling short of this goal, Dr. Brewer would be best served by having Chicanos and Latinos close to him, in important decision making levels of this college. To best serve a diverse, multi-cultural institution, input by individuals who can provide cultural, intellectual, and competent direction is badly needed.

Political reform must start at college level

Editor, There is a definite need for political reform at the

state and federal levels. Why is it that our political leaders are more representative of their elitist, pro­fessional political backgrounds than of the common people they are paid to represent? Could the root of the problem lie in the hands of today's youth with their passive attitudes-

While true·statistics are not available, it is believed that a significant percentage of Colorado's house and senate representatives received their first political experience at the college level. At that level they learn to build a dependable constituency, they learn to manipulate special interest groups to the polls for support and, most importantly, they have the opportu-

nity to begin networking within groups of highly power­ful and influential people who can further their further political careers. It should be noted that very few candidates, especially those at the college level, are elected by a accurate sampling of the body governed and even less by well-informed voters.

To the point, political reform can begin atthe college level. Being well informed about student government representatives now will allow us to make appropriate selections of representatives deserving of the oppor­tunities we offer. Potentially they could be serving the public in decades to come.

U.S. gov't may capitalize on Kuwaiti liberation

Editor, As the pentagon continues to ignore or reject one

peace propose! after another, talk has turned to plans on rebuilding Kuwait and possibly even Iraq (sans Saddam). The American people perceive themselves as part of an altruistic society. The Bush administration has gladly cultivated this image. For example, a large sum of money was sent to Panama after U.S. forces destroyed civilian communities. According to the In­dependent Commission of Inquiry on the U.S.lnvasion of Panama, $420 million has been sent. A break down of who gets what shows that it is not the Panamanians who had their homes destroyed who are benefitting but rather U.S. interests.

$108 million is going to private corporations, many of them U.S. companies. $244 million is for a "multidoner effort to eliminate Panamas foreign debt arrearages"

with the funds going to big foreign banks in the U.S. and elsewhere. $12 million is to go to the new U.S. trained Panamanian police force. $17 million for for the new judiciary and governmental apparatus. $1 o mil­lion to fix up the canal. $7 mill ion to scholarships and grants for the children of the Panamanian oligarchy and business class. $1 .5 million to set up a new pro western press and $3 million to advertise to western businesses. This leaves only $3 million for housing in Panama.

Any funding sent to the Middle East will most likely have the same result as in Panama. Aid perceived to relieve the suffering caused by the U.S. in reality will go into the pockets of U.S. corporations.

SPORTS A view from the press box

Dale Shrull Sports Editor

The regular season is over and the Met­ropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team bas wrapped up the Colo­rado Athletic Conference championship.

With the championship comes the spoils of victory, MSCD will be the host team of the first ever CAC Tournament.

The first ever CAC Tournament being hosted by Metropolitan State College of Denver, wow!

The excitement will be unbearable but the fun and activities will abound during the tourney Feb. 28 and March 1.

The perfect host at the perfect school in the perfect gym. The Auraria Gymnasium.

This may be the first CAC Tourney but it will undoubtedly be the most memorable. Imagine the possibilities.

Fun for the whole family - bring the kids, grandparents, everyone. While you adults watch the high-powered Roadrunners in action, the kids can amuse themselves by playing on and around the construction sup­plies and equipment.

And imagine the incredible advantage MSCD will enjoy. Being the host team, the familiar surroundings of the Auraria Gym­nasium will be a major plus for the 'Runners in their quest for the tournament champion­ship.

MSGD hosts GAG Tournament

New gym means no gym Game strategy will be mind boggling. Any player on the MSCD team can hide

behind a strategically placed object- let's say a forklift - and break out at the perfect second for an open layup.

Home court advantage, there is no re­placement.

One more thing before you load the family up and come down to the Auraria Campus: hard bats are required.

Of course the CAC Tourney won't be played in the Auraria Gymnasium. Not un­less they postpone it until July or August. The 'Runners will be hosting the tournament at Denver West High School.

This will be the season where the MSCD Roadrunners never had a home. The season of the neutral court.

With their 8-2 conference and 21-6 over­all record, the 'Runners made quite an ac­complishment, considering their home court is a construction zone.

February 1 was the tentative completition date for basketball at Auraria. That would have been perfect timing to host the CAC Tourney.

But, nooooooooo! The tournament will be at West High School because the Auraria Gymnasium is not fit for human participa-

tion. In mid-November Dick Feuerborn, di­

rector of Campus Recreation was still hope­ful that the gym would be ready for basket­ball Feb. 1.

Who knows whose at fault for the delay. Who cares. Why tell people that the gym will be ready for basketball by Feb. 1?

Those tentative promises were ridicu­lous. A simple observation of the gymnasium at anytime during the last several months would have indicated that the gym was not close to being finished.

They were apparently hoping that the gymnasium fairy would come through for them at the last moment.

I guess the gymnasium fairy was booked up this year.

But the games must go on, of course, like they've gone on all year. On a neutral court. So much for home court advantage.

With the CAC in their inaugural season, MSCD will go down in history as the first­ever regular season champion.

That championship game will be held at West High School. A high school, a strange place to bold a college basketball tourna­ment, don't you think? But at least hard hats won't be required. 0

12 THEMETROPOLITAN

Dear Metro Connections: A girlfriend of mine recently married and our circle of friends are having a really hard time accepting this person. It's not that he treats our friend badly, it's that he is insultin<J to us, he is obnoxious and will do anything for attention. What is particu­larly distressing is that everything is a ~ innuendo and we have tried ignoring him for the sake of our girlfriend but he hasn't gotten the hint. We do not appreciate this behavior. We want to include them in our gatherings but it's getting harder and harder to put up with him. any suggestions? We don't want to hurt our friend either.

Signed, Perplexed

Dear Perplexed: You are certainly justified in not wanting to hurt your girlfriend's feelings regarding her new hus­band. At the same time, you should nQ1 have to tolerate this person's obnoxious behavior. It would also seem that the hus­band is so caught up in his at~ tempts to get attention that it is unlikely that he will 'getthe hint' as things stand now ..

I would suggest that your group try to talk to your girlfriend when she is not with her husband. In as caring a way as possible, tell her how you feel about her husband's behaviors. Be sure to focus on the behaviors not on the person. Reassure your friend that you are not passing judg­ment on her for her choice of husband and that you do not consider her responsible. Then explain to your friend how you and your friends feel offended. Re-affirm that you want to continue to include her and her husband in the group, but if he continues to behave as he has been doing, you (or whoever) will confront him.

Although there is the risk that your girlfriend simply won't un­derstand and will leave your group, hopefully she will respect yourfeelings. By expressing your feelings openly with your friend (and her husband, if necessary) you will prevent the hurtful confrontations or ' lashing out" which come from bottling up your feelings and letting go when you ju::t can't take it

Please send letters to Counseling Center, Campus Box #05, Central Classroom 203.

MSCD to host CAC tourney Dale Shrull Sports Editor

The Colorado Athletic Conference is in its first year and the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team is its first-ever regular season champion.

Bouncing back from a 96-84 overtime loss to the University of Denver Feb. 21, the Roadrunners (21-6 overall) wrapped up the conference title with a 104-79 pounding of the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

With a conference mark of 8-2, MSCD finished alone at the top of the CAC, ahead of the University of Southern Colorado (7-3), the University of Denver (6-4), Colorado Christian University (5-5), Regis College (4-6) and CU-Colorado Springs (0-10).

The championship wiJI mean MSCD will host the CAC Tournament at Denver West High School. The Championship game is scheduled for March 1 at 7 p.m.

Head Coach Bob Hull said the 'Runners should be ready for the tournament, but said he doesn't plan on doing anything differently than in the regular season.

"We're going to stay with the same rou­tine," Hull said. "The guys arerea11y focused and looking forward to tournament."

Winning the regular season and hosting the tournament makes MSCD the favorite going into post-season play, however Hull isn'ttaking anything for granted: "It's wide­open. You have to look at Regis, CCU, DU, USC, as well as us (MSCD), you can 'tcount anybody out."

The tournament will be an important ingredient in the 'Runners' NCAA Division II plans. The 32-team field for the NCAA Tournament will be announced March I 0. Hull believes winning theCACTournament will guarantee MSCD will be one of the 32 teams.

"lfwe win (CAC Tournament), we'll go for sure," Hull said. "It's difficult to get into the tournament."

Hull said the NCAA will take four teams from each of the nation's eight regions. Since MSCD is ranked No. 2 in the North Central Region now, a win in the CAC Tournament would keep the 'Runners in at least the second spot. MSCD dropped from 11 to 14th in the NCAA Division II Top 20 rankings.

The 'Runners will enter the tournament with backup forward Florian MiJ!er listed as questionable. Miller strained his knee at practice Feb. 26.

Hull will go with his normal starters. The nation's leader in assists with a 10. l per­game average, senior Adrian Hutt - who had 17 assists in the win over CU-Colorado Springs - at point guard and junior Ralph Rivers at the other guard position. Rivers is leading the team in scoring with a 20.2 per­game average. Senior center Fred Brown, leads the team in rebounding with an 8.2 a game average. Senior Tim Moser starts at one forward spot, averaging 12.2 points a game. The team's leading three-point shooter, junior Darin Dahl starts at the other forward position. Dahl averages 6.5 points a game. 0

The Colorado Athletic Conference bad an obvious decision to make when they selected their women's Player of the Week.

After scoring 59 points and grabbing 37 rebounds in two Metropolitan State College of Denver wins last week, Holly Roberts was an easy choice for CAC women's Player of the Week.

MSCD's sophomore center broke three school records, scoring 33 points, snagging 27 rebounds and blocking seven shots to lead MSCD to a 70-56 win over Regis College Feb. 23

This is the second time this season in which Roberts bas won the CAC weekly honor.

March 1, 1991 THEMETROPOLITAN 13

Roberts dominating in MSCD women's victory Dale Shrull Sports Editor

"That was one of the best individual efforts I have ever seen," Metropolitan State College of Denver women's basketball head coach Darryl Smith said.

The player who Smith showered his praise on was Holly Roberts, the Roadrunners' 6-

foot sophomore center. In leading the 'Runners (14-13) to a 70-

56 win over Regis College Feb. 23, Roberts took an eraser to the MSCD record book.

By the time she was finished, Roberts would have her name etched in the record book three times.

A graduate of Lakewood's Green Moun­tain High School, Roberts scored 33 points,

grabbed 27 rebounds and blocked seven shots in the game. All were new MSCD records.

Roberts broke her own scoring and re­bounding school marks of 32 points and 22 rebounds, while the seven blocked shots bettered the mark of six set by Heidi Keyes in the l 985-86 season.

The 27 rebounds leaves Roberts eight

short of the NCAA Division II record of35. Junior guard Stephanie Robinson will

join Roberts in the MSCD record book. She dished off a record 14 assists in the Regis game, breaking the old record of 11 set earlier this season by teammate Cassie Sandoval.

The 'Runners assured themselves of a .500 season with the win 0

Swim teams make final strokes ending '91 season Garrett D. Weekly The Metropolitan

The 1990-91 Metropolitan State College of Denver swim season ended Feb. 23-24 at Arapahoe High School swimming pool. The men's team finished second at the Intermountain Swim League Finals with the score of the University of Denver 574; MSCD 509; Colorado College 343; Colo­rado School of Mines 320; and the Univer-

sity of Colorado 260. The men's team set 11 new school records

this season, and finished with a 15-5 record overall.

Freshman Bernie Gard set a new school record in the 1650-yard freestyle, and placed second in the event with the time of 16:57 .89. Gard also set a new school mark in the 500-yard freestyle, taking a third place with the time of 4:47.86, shattering the old mark by seven seconds.

The 400-yard medley relay team of Alan McDaniel, Jeff Neary, Brian Reed, and Jeff Holt set a new school record with the time of 3:36.65. Also, the team of Neary, Reed, Mark Gacioch and McDaniel set an MSCD record with the time of 1 :28.13. Both relay teams finished second in their races.

The women's team ended their season with a fourth place finish at ISL Finals meet. The final scores were DU 589; CU 485; CC

365, MSCD; Mines 129. This season, the women swimmers set 14 new MSCD records, and completed the season with a 13-12 overall record.

Senior Anne Zamboni set a new school record in the 200-yard backstroke with her fourth place finishing time of 2:24.57.

Freshman Janis Strickland set a new ISL meet record in the 200-yard breaststroke with the time of 2:36.80. 0

MSCD baseball springs into season; off to ·3-0 start Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Baseball has been very, very good for Metropolitan State College of Denver after the first three games of the 1991 season.

Following the Feb. 26, 10-6 drubbing of Regis College, the Roadrunners are now 3-0.

The 'Runners' offense pounded Regis'

pitching for 16 hits and three home runs. Seniors Craig Bryan, Jim Cluck and Rob

Barringer all cranked-out solo home runs. Cluck's was a towering shot to right-center field.

On Feb. 23, the 'Runners battled Colo­rado College at Auraria and came away with a 7-6, 10 inning and 8-1 doubleheader sweep.

Neither a 41-degree temperature nor CC pitching could cool off junior center fielder

Brendon Peach, who had two home runs, one triple, seven RBI's on four of seven hitting and scored four runs in the two games.

In the second game of the twin bill, MSCD led from start to finish, with junior Steve Blachley and senior Darren O'Driscoll combining on a three hitter to secure the 8-1 win.

The first game wasn't decide until MSCD junior right fielder Aaron Bennett scored the

winning run when losing CC pitcher Steve Vieling uncorked a wild pitch with the bases loaded.

Peach followed up his 4 for 7 batting totals in the doubleheader with a 4 for 5 performance against Regis, giving him an 8 for 12 total on the year.

Peach has also scored seven runs, has nine RBI' sand has been on base 11 out of 15 times, a percentage of .733. 0
