Classroom funding ap_proved Recommendation for $2.9 million for arts complex given by Capital Development

Jane Hase The METROPOLITAN

A recommendation of $2.9 million for additional classroom space on Auraria has been given by the state Capital Development committee.

The recommendation will go to the state legislature, and if approved and signed by Gov. Roy Romer, approxi­mately 90,000 square feet, including 36 classrooms, 120 faculty offices, and a technology and computer lab will be added to the campus.

Auraria serves about one-fifth of all college students in Colorado and has a 400,000 square-foot shortage of space, said Dean Wolf, interim vice president of Auraria. No new space has been added to the campus since the 1970s.

"It doesn't solve [the problem] but it will help," Wolf said.

A performing arts addition, also part of the request, did not receive approval. It asked for funding for the con­struction of theater space, a recital hall and music practice rooms.

Susan Josepher, chairwoman of'the Arts Department, said, "I'm very upset and disturbed that the arts, which deserve to be recognized and contribute a major part to the culture of the city and the campus are being ignored."

Metro student Amber Rorge who has taken theater classes said ·she believes Auraria should have theater space in addition to what is available now. "The Music and Theater Departments (enrollments) arc pretty hig," she said.

Wolf said, "It's still top of our priority and we will continue to pursue it."

Parking lot G, located between the Plaza Building and the Parking Transportation Center, is the proposed site

of construction for the additional classroom space. Wolf said there would be space for parking leftover

after construction and that space further wc~t. off Fifth Street, would also be available.

The cost for the entire project is estimated at approx­imately $16.5 million, which would be appropriated over a three-year period.

January 1999 is the earliest that construction could be completed, Wolf said.

University of Colorado-Denver student and commu­nications major Laura Sickler said: "I think that too much emphasis has been placed on business and I think the Arts should be a part of education. I agree that that provision should be given."

"I think for the most part America kind of laughs at performing arts, it's usually just business," Sickler said.

PROPOSED SITE: Parking Lot G is the proposed site for the arts complex, which would provide 36 new classrooms if the state Capital Development committee approves the request for funding.

Campus crime shows minor changes Robberies and burglaries experience small increases, aggravated and sexual assaults down Jalecia Johnson The METROPOLITAN

Auraria has experienced slight increases in crime on campus.

According to a report compiled by Auraria Public Safety, robberies and bur­glaries have increased. Aggravated and sexual assaults are down.

With the addition of Elitch's, the Tivoli renovation and Bronco games, Lower Downtown is being rediscovered by many people.

"I think a high percentage of the bur­glaries (on campus) are non-forced entries," said Public Safety Sgt. Kelly Casias, who oversees security in the Tivoli Student Union. Casias added that although burglaries have gone up, the number of thefts have risen too.

The number of thefts jumped from 17 in 1994 to 24 in 1995.

"With more people on campus there are more crimes," said Public Safety Chief Joe Ortiz.

Ortiz said there was a drop in the number of sexual assault offenses. It went from 13 reported cases in 1994 to only 4 in 1995.

"Crime is up in some categories, but in some areas it's down," Ortiz said.

Some other incidents that have gone up are drug-abuse violations and rob­beries. There were no murders or rapes in 1995.

One major concern of Casias' is the number of robberies.

Since 1994 the number has gone up from one to four in 1995. "That's a lot .. . with an increase of robberies, we increase the street patrol," Casias said.

"Some people think the Auraria cam­pus is a great place to make money because it's in the middle of everything," Casias added.

Public Safety Detective Robert Barela expressed similar views.

"Attacks on vehicles are up .. . and burglaries aren ' t that bad," Barela said.

Casias emphasized that if people fol­low the given safety tips such as always locking their vehicle and taking valuables with them or locking them in the trunk, and getting involved with reporting crimes, there may be a definite reduction in crime.

"A lot of the crimes that occur on campus can be reduced if people took the time to report incidents the first time it happened and if they pay more attention to their belongings," Casias said.

Former Vice President of Communications Cath Bongiorno and for­mer Vice President of Student Organizations Juan Sanchez resigned from office earlier this month citing personal attacks and violations of the student gov­ernment constitution as their reasons for leaving.

~vstek hopes to use her position to clear up some of the confusion surround­ing student fees . She admits that in the past she has been confusoo as to where the fees are allocatoo.

Library fines can be costly to students Lost books can run $20 to $60 in costs if not back in 28 days Christine Moeser The METROPOLITAN

Ignoring Auraria Library fines could give students bad credit.

Colorado state law requires all public libraries to report any unpaid fines to a credit bureau, said Glenda Thornton, associate director for Library Services.

"We send out three warnings, and then if the problem isn't resolved, we'll inform the student that the state will be notified," Thornton said.

The cost of one lost book can range from $20 to $60. Any item not returned within 28 days is considered lost and a fee is sent to the student that day. Overdue books cost 25 cents for every day late but the fee does not. exceed $10. Reserve items cost about 50 cents-per-hour and there is a two-hour time limit. The faculty of all three colleges set the reserve fines at a maximum of $20.

Only on rare occasions does the library excuse a lost book. Each problem is handled on a case-by-case basis, said the library's Coordinator of Access Services, Anthony Dedrick. If a student claims to have returned an item, the library does a series of checks.

"First thing we do is put in a claims return, which stops the fines from accumulating and restores the student to good status," Dedrick explained.

When a patron loses a book and pays the fine, then later finds the book, Dedrick said the library gives a refund. If there is any doubt that the library is at fault the fine is waived, Thornton said.

All of the library's material is classified in one of two categories. Documents, maps and soft-cover novelty books fall under the low price, while hardcover and text­books fall under the higher price.

Every fine includes a $10 fee to cover the cost of the paperwork, Dedrick added. Once any fee exceeds $I 0, the patron is "blocked" from the library and cannot check out any material.

Thornton warns students to be cautious when giving their student IDs to others, or checking out material for other people. Because the library serves three colleges and the metropolitan area, patrons must have either student ID or picture JD to take out books. All users are registered in the library's program and are responsible for any items taken out under their name.

A lost card should be reported to the library immedi­ately so that a block can be put on the ID number.

Students voiced different opinions about the library's policies.

Some students said that ruining someone's credit over a lost book is a bit harsh.

Others wanted to be sure that mistakes will not hap­pen.

"They should give a receipt when you bring a book back," said Shannon Hall, a junior at Metro. "I want to be sure that I can prove I brought it back."

Part-time student Amy Donaldson had other con­cerns, "They should post signs and make sure students are aware that not returning a book could hurt their credit. "

John McDonough/The METROPOLITAN

"Then over a six- to eight-week period, we'll check our computers and shelves three to four times. If there is still a problem, we'll check the books that have come back," Dedrick said.

If the book still is not found, 90 percent of the time the student is held accountable for the fee, Dedrick said.

Thornton said when the state required libraries to notify a credit bureau, they sent a memo to each college. She also said the library has bookmarks scattered through­out the building, explaining the check out policy, but they do not discuss reporting fines to the state.

BOOK KEEPER: Jim Teliha, a night supervisor for the Auraria library, said the fine for both of these books Is $60 if lost, regardless of size.

Passion for excellence realized / Student Activities new hire wants to be where the students are Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

Discovering what students need and delivering it is the goal of Kari Tutweiler, Metro's newest face in Student Activities.

Tutweiler was named associate direc­tor of Student Activities on Feb. 5. She replaces Mariam Taft, who left the posi­tion to pursue other interests.

Tutweiler said the job was something she always wanted to do.

"To be able to do this is a dream," she said.

Tutweiler came to Metro in 1986 where she worked in the Athletic Department. She moved to Alumni Relations in 1989 and worked there until beginning her current position.

Tutweiler pursued the associate direc­tor's position because she wanted to be where the students are.

Tutweiler also wanted the position because she missed day-to-day contact with the students.

Much of her job in alumni relations was leaving messages on answering machines.

As associate director, Tutweiler will be in charge of helping students organize and plan campus events.

out what they need." She plans on doing this by surveying

students on what they want on campus. She said she will talk to students during other campus events and in focus groups. Tutweiler felt this was important to mak­ing campus events successful.

Zav Dadabhoy, director of Student Activities, is very happy to have Tutweiler on Board.

"I think she's just going to be dyna­mite," he said. "I'm looking forward to working with her."

· He said Tutweiler's enthusiasm and her passion for excellence will benefit the student activities program greatly.

"This program, with her assistance, is going to make leaps and bounds," he said.

Student activities has been without an associate director for over three months. The slack has been picked up by Dadabhoy and students working for the office.

Tutweiler, who has been in the posi­tion for the last two weeks, said her first task will be to learn from the success of past programs and the students and work from that.

8 The METROPOLITAN FEBRUARY 23. 1996

All in the name of God God and religion sure have been a

hot topic for me lately. There were a series of incidents and events that have sparked my interest in religion, god and faith.

The first event was the ruckus over the speech by Jamal X at Denver's Montbello High School. It appeared to me that the debate and discussion strayed from the intent of his action and rested only on the con­tent of the speech.

I don't suppose it is easy to sepa­rate one from the other. But my under­standing is that he was asked there to offer words of encouragement to young black men and to remind them of their duties to their family and soci­ety.

Yes, he may have gotten a little csirried away with a the Euro-bashing. I'm sure there was cannibalism and bestiality going on all over the world when the pyramids were being built.

I suppose his biggest crime was making religious references. Many people are disturbed by this because this was an official "school function" and it was not appropriate to interject religion. The old separation of church and state thing.

The 1962 Supreme Court decision Engel v. Vitale said it was unconstitu­tional for the state of New York to recite a nonsectarian prayer. The court said this put "indirect coercive pres­sure upon religious minorities."

That opened the door to remove all prayer from school, not just manda-

Louis A. Landa

tory prayer.

LOOKING AT

LIFE

I found it interesting to read in the Rocky Mountain News that the Supreme Court decided not to hear arguments regarding another local reli­gious issue.

A 4-foot-tall granite marker that is inscribed with the Ten Commandments will stay in Denver's Lincoln Park. The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed suit to have the marker removed on that "separa­tion of church and state" argument.

This is an old and confusing argu­ment. Article I of the constitution (a.k.a. The First Amendment) states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

It seems a long stretch to say that we can reference God in a speech to high school students or have the Ten Commandments in a city park.

I like to say that "I'm between reli­gions right now." They all look so

Letters .,;::;&:

Jamal X marks the spot Dear Editor,

As students of Metropolitan State College, many of us are painfully aware of the difficulties and complexities surround­ing issues of identity as they relate to race, culture, and ethnicity. The students I know desire honest communication and mutual respect when addressing these difficult and emotional subjects. That is why the comments of Jamal X merit discussion.

As reported in the Rocky Mountain News, Feb. 15, 1996, the comments of Jamal X, (can I call him Mr. X?), were not only less than entirely accurate, they were inflammatory. My concern, however, is not with his inaccuracies, but rather with his method of persuasion. Were his comments on the accomplishments of early African civilizations enhanced by insulting

Europeans? Mr. X is guilty of the same exploitation that many whites have com­mitted: exalting one's own race by deni­grating another.

What does he hope to accomplish? Mutual respect? Did he hope to improve the self-esteem of his audience? Self­esteem that is based on the defamation of another is transitory and ultimately destructive. Were his intentions education­al? To quote Mr. X, "The true aim of edu­cation is to cultivate the gifts and talents that are inside of each and every human being." We could all benefit if he would pursue that goal.

Free-dumb Fighters at the library Dear Editor, Loved your editorial about the

Freedom Fighter Press! I'm the Facilities Manager at the

Library and we've been gleefully ripping down the "DIVERSITY OR FRAUD" flyers all week. I found John Morris taping one to the wall. We know John. Asked him why he could bad mouth all those people by name, but couldn't include his own name

as author. He told me that an anonymous person had asked him to post those around the campus. I told him that anonymous person was chicken.

We're not taking sides - we just like a • fair fight. Keep up the good work!

appealing and appalling at the same time. People's choice to belong to a religion or have a particular. faith is entirely up to them. I suppose this is the key to that separation argument. I should not be forced to read the bible at school, but if I want to, I should have that right.

I am left to wonder what should happen to the young lady who came into one of my classes a few weeks ago.

It was my Features Writing class that begins at 7:30 am, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The teacher, Ania Savage, had just begun the class and was mak­ing a few announcements.

A young woman dressed in a plain gray skirt and slightly darker top flounced right past the teacher, stopped, clasped her hands and appeared to be mumbling something.

She turned to the class and con­tinued the routine.

The teacher asked in a polite, but direct voice, "Excuse me, but what are you doing?"

To which the young lady whis­pered, "I'm praying for this class." The young lady turned, then exited the classroom.

Being the curious type, I got up and followed the young lady out, only a few seconds behind her. But when I exited the classroom and looked down the hall, she was nowhere in sight.

She vanished. Gone. She knew better than to take her chances with the Supreme Court.

Education: right or responsibility What is it this thought that we have the right to

schooling (an education}? Surely, it shouldn't be a simple thing to say - at

least, not as simple as it has become in a country where everyone has a special cause and rights are thrown about as those of a prizefighter within a ring. It is a mean business - the rights-to and the rights­not-to.

Gary Homs

MY TURN

whom I discover in mocking poses and pantomimed gestures within the classroom merely "parroting" their teacher's words. It should be a shame that the pantomime is at Metro a performance worthy of the highest honor. More than a few diplomas given are not warranted.

Tuition. A guardianship.

Seemingly, a correct way to phrase the above, certainly more of what people mean to say, is that we have the right to learn. But, I am still not satisfied with this statement. It is not enough to merely state my rights and leave it at that. The fact that I have a right necessarily implies that everyone else has a duty to preserve it. For example, if I have the right to live, then you have the duty not to impede or stop my life. Yet, this example leads to the thought that I, too, have the duty to preserve my right to life. I have the duty to eat properly to ensure my health;. if I stop eating, then I forfeit my right to life and die. Most would surely agree with the above, yet it is almost humorous that most students on this campus seem to forget that in order to keep the right to schooling, as students, you must attend to the duties of that right as well.

making excuses for not being able to attend to cer­tain duties. It is not due to your position in life that you receive any rights. When you make life choices, you must align your own life in such a way as to be happy. The fact that your government creates cer­tain, and necessarily hollow, rights is merely a way to keep you quiet. The fact that types of education other than the university system are frowned upon is quite sickening. I know that there are many students on this campus who are attending classes merely to fulfill some rite of social passage; this is truly a shame.

If you can't handle the duty, then you forfeit the right. Many in our country try fervently and some­times even violently to strive for equality. Yet, where do you think the notion comes from. It is tied up in a mess of rights and duties. It does not mean that some should get help and others shouldn't in order to balance society and make it fair. This idea of equality is fallacious. We are producing a nation of illiterate and uninformed people. Teachers aren't allowed to educate anymore; classrooms aren't spaces of learning. The classroom is becoming a playground for the hopeless and needy who in effort­less gestures try to find dignity and self worth, while teachers have become wranglers and assurers who console and give meaningless grades. (God knows they will pay when the evaluations come through. I have seen more than one student attempt to soil a teacher's image due to their lack of performance.) No matter what social status a student claims -

Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, or (the fashionably newer ones} single mother, single white male, etc.- as students, we have the same duty to preserve our rights as such. In our current era of complacency, we have become a nation of people who are overly fond of

Let me bring a word to attention at this point: tuition. It comes from the Latin words tuitio & on is meaning a watching over of, guardianship , or pro­tection. The word tuition does not mean payment for, given the right to, or "now I deserve something." It is a word entailing a process that begins with the hiring of teachers and is carried out by the student's quality of work. I am disgusted with fellow students

Maybe this is a bad dream, though. I am beg­ging you to prove that it is, even though I fear that it isn't.

Religion enough for all ••• and then some -COMMENTARY­

BY John Saiz

The Crab is peculiarly symbolized in the year 96, in ancient astrology was at it presaged he coming of the end of the world and it would return to it's pri­mordial elements when all the planets would line up in the constellation the Crab.

The new millennium is the thou­sand years, during which holiness is to prevail and human perfection will reign on earth.

A new cognizant awareness has surfaced amongst many people con­cerning self preservation. As we all approach the new millennia, topics on religion are being discussed by a plu­rality of students on the Auraria cam­pus. Politely, religion is one of the most arguable topics in the world. There are numerous intellectuals trying to mend the disagreement and conflict's between many religious worships.

Before any harmony can be reached, we must have self realiza­tion, a comprehensive interpretation, and a lucid imagination for regards to what Gods or Goddesses are and not that they delineate.

Civilization lost its faith in religion rapidly when matriarchal organiza­tions were overthrown and an increase of patriarchal missions had occurred during Gothic times.

Women did not enjoy any religious or political independence and suffered

most during the peak of the holy office or the so-called inquisition.

After patriarchal dominance soci­ety was governed by the male-oriented forbidding you outlook, which restrict­ed the ways in which individuals undertook their day-to-day lives. Women were considered "evil" literally, because they could divert men from their path to God. Hence women were under domination by men in almost all aspects of life.

A decline in godly studies was the consequence of untrustworthy hierar­chical figures characterized on Earth by a wealthy fellow referred to as the Pope. Accepting payoffs from the existing king rulers, provided that ritu~ alistic moral and social laws from the church would govern the mind, body and spirit of society.

Revenues were established that would not be taxed, if the congregation did what was asked of them by the king. In tum those revenues would sanction dictative, warlike monarchs that instilled fear into the hearts of mankind and suspicion towards the church. This was contradictable to the essential customary qualities of the social structure also to the word of God.

Therefore humanity would be left on its ow·n after a succession of time, and discover new ways of answering the one question that has not been elucidated for several thousands of. years: why does mankind exist on Earth and who is our creator? Science

is one effect of the preoccupies for the answer to this question. Many humans are still waiting for a reply from scien­tists up to date.

The patriarchal system which has executed the greatest impairment is the engendering of an almost inbred fearfulness within us all. Existential fear which arises in the absence of light or love. For thousands of years we have been under the predomi­nance of religions that are radically fear-driven. If you do not obey the law and you are sinful you will not reach utopia.

This prospect of heaven was intended for the unhappy people that had no food to eat, no place to go or hadn't anybody to love them, this sim­ply was just to keep them going. As the patriarchal atmosphere disperses this kind of conditioning we believe in this inpunitive God on a level in which we still unconsciously carry an attitude as God-fearing, worrying ourselves to a point in which we can no longer access change.

Darkness and light, black and white are to be found in evenly act of life. Although every act transports with it both good and bad virtue, life holds both hell's darkness and the light of heaven at one and the same moment and there is no usefulness pondering their opposed elements.

There are three stages a person must channel through once she or he will be transformed. We slowly mature from a dull stupor-ridden unconscious-

ness, passing through the anguish of doubt to ultimately arrive at his or her illumination of being. It is on the middle path that shall guide you to this des­tiny. Nature distinguishes nothing of the attributions of good and evil. By contending that, when in doubt, all one can do is embrace the light.

This perpetual cycle of events and seasons is to incorporate the earth with the sky and to advance through the zodiac in sequence to personify the harmony of the stars, encompass the cosmos inside of the micro-cos­mos, supernature within nature. Cheer that the medieval, weary and bored behavior will be swapped for some­thing fresh.

Encourage ancient astrology and alchemy to indicate a new greater fem­inine spirit will change every thing and few will wish to remain the way they were. Here is a quote from the Eastern Taoist philosophies which can lead us on the path to self-righteousness.

"The great way of life is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and distin­guished. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set firmly apart."

Chinese master Sosan.

form of the P.A.N.D.A. games. P.A.N.D.A. stands for Pan-African Nurturing and Development Association. The organization states as its purpose: to instill pride and self­esteem in African American youth, encour­age them to go to college and educate them about the accomplishments of other Africans.

In the Tenth Annual Colorado P.A.N.D.A Games, contestants competed by answering general African history questions for the first round, then they named and located various geographical locations in Africa for the second round, and for the third round, the teams again answered general questions on African trivia via a ring-in for­mat, as seen in many television game shows.

Blac~ Htslory Monlh explained

Black History Month originated through African history scholar Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week in 1926. It was originally celebrated Feb. 11-18 and evolved into the entire month of February over time.

The second week in February was chosen in order to com­memorate the birthdays of black activist Fr~derick Douglass and president Abraham Lincoln.

The original celebration of Negro History Week included parades with costumed participants portraying famous Africans, breakfasts, banquets, speeches, poetry readings. lectures on black history, exhibits, and special presentations.

One of Woodson's central celebrations happened in 1930, when he invited all former black congressmen and Oscar De Priest, then the only black member of Congress, to speak at a banquet. Woodson made history in 1912 by becoming the first and only individual of slave descent to earn a doctorate in History.

H ong Kong's best is delivered in the flying fists and round-house kicks of Jackie Chan again.

He is known by action· afi­cionados as a director, master of stunt choreography and comic ass-kicker. He delivers his brand of ---­kung-fu comedy in, Rumble in the Bronx, while doing all his own stunts. It is only his fifth American movie out of 20 years of producing movies in Hong Kong.

In Rumble he plays a young tourist who visits America for of his uncle's wedding. The action starts after he is· caught in the gaze of the tough and .__ __ _ beautiful bad guy's girl­friend. Comedy flows from his symphony of physical expres­sion that has made him a cinema cult hero.

The uncle is in the process of selling his family grocery store in the Bronx which the story line is thinly built around. The store is purchased by Elena (Anita Mu), who serves as comic relief and the jealous girlfriend. Neither Elena nor Chan are aware of the fact that the neigh­borhood is ravaged by a ruthless motor­cycle gang.

Their combined comic naivete is no match for the precious yet tragic youth who is wheelchair bound and neglected by his sister. She of course has taken part in the battering of the Bronx visitor.

FEBRUARY 23. 1996 The METROPOLITAN 13

Transfer player shines Downtown Women's

Healthcare Student comes into her own at Metro Dave Flomberg The METROPOLITAN

W hen you see her sink a 20-footer with all the confidence and ease of an NBA all-star, your first

reaction is probably one of awe. But if you meet her in person, her

soft-spokeness belies her aggressive ball playing, and you have an urge to almost protect her.

She is Tamiko Medcalf. This is Medcalf's first year playing

ball for Metro, as she transferred here from Citrus Junior College in California, where she played on the basketball team. Before that, she went to Northview High School, also in California, which is where she got introduced to hoops.

"I used to play soccer, but I didn't like the amount of contact," she said. "Yes, basketball is very physical, but you don 't have people kicking you."

She started as point guard for both her high school and junior college, and until recently, started for Metro.

"I was in kind of a slump for a while," she said. "But I'm back now, and more than ready."

"We lucked-out to get her," said Darryl Smith Metro women's basketball

coach. "She went through what most freshman or junior-college transfers go through, which is a lack of confidence on the court."

Lately, that is not the case. "She had a great game against Regis,

and was a key player in helping us win that game, which gave her a lot more con­fidence," he said. "Now she's been getting a lot more playing time."

While Metro was not her first choice of schools, she said it was the best one she could have made. She is here on a full scholarship.

"I like it here," Medcalf said. "At my junior college, it was mostly white, with very few minorities. At Metro, it's differ­ent."

Medcalf is majoring in Human Performance Sport and Leisure Studies, and plans to graduate in two years.

"Then, I want to go back and coach at my junior college," she said.

One of her dreams is to go overseas and play in a women's league or stay here and play in the NBA league that is just starting up for women.

"Either way, I've got to work hard," she said then shrugged and added, "But I'm used to it." -

hat do you get when you mix a few white people, two Jews, four Nation of Islam members

and around 70 Palestinians? One hell of a potluck . That's where I was last Friday

evening at St. Cajetan 's Center. It was the breaking of the fast of Ramadan, which is a holy Palestinian holiday based on repen­tance. Palestinians fast for 40 days, eating or drinking only after the sun sets. Then, after the last day, they get lots of food and drink, (all kosher, of course) and engage in that grand Semitic pastime: eating.

After a few thankfully brief opening comments by Student Government Assembly President Safa Suleiman (we were hungry), we herded over to the food and piled it on our plates. There was lots of stuff I couldn't name, falafel, couscous, some roasted lamb, my mom's fantabulous matzoh coogle, and a wealth of Middle­Eastern pastries for dessert.

No pizza or hamburgers anywhere. Despite this fact, the food was great,

and the environment interesting.

But as I looked around the church while we were eating dinner, I was struck not by the differences between the two cultures, but of the similarities. It was so reminiscent of family potluck dinners I attended at my synagogue as a child (except for the fact that Eugene Greenstein's grandmother wasn't standing on the buffet table singing show tunes after downing a bottle of Manischewitz), that I felt right at home.

That night I broke bread with my "enemy." It was one of the best meals I have eaten on this campus.

Men's b-ball stuns DU in OT Roadrunners beat top team in conj erence despite Pioneer heroics Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The University of Denver had Lady Luck on its side - Metro had Justin Land, Cory Reader, Jeremy Ward and a host of others who sent the Pioneers and Lady Luck home 91-88 overtime losers Saturday.

The men's basketball team looked to have DU beat in regulation, leading 80-77 with 8.9 seconds left. DU's Chris Morley proved otherwise when his des­peration three-pointer rattled through the rim with 0.2 on the clock to force overtime.

By this time Ward had 23 points, including seven threes, and Land had scored 20.

It wasn ' t enough.

DU came in as the Colorado

second half and overtime ma<;le him one of the many heroes of the day.

Reader had four of his blocks in the second half and his fifth came on DU's last shot in overtime.

"The last few times down the court they hit pull-up jumpers," Reader said. "The last time down I came out and put a hand up and just happened to get the ball ."

Metro coach Charles Bradley said he credits his seniors for stepping up to the challenge when the going got tough.

"We have a Jot of experience play­ing in close games this year," Bradley said. "When Regis hit the last-second shot we didn't have another chance, but tonight we knew we were still in the

game." The win

came on the heels of a bitter over­time loss to Regis

Land scored five points, including a clutch trey with I : I 9 left in overtime, and Reader sealed the win with two free-throws and a block lo end the game.

Land said it was the sweetest win of the year considering the bad luck Metro has had in its home gym this season.

"Every time it 's close the other team pulls some miraculous shot," Land said, referring to Regis's Hail-Mary three to win at Auraria on Jan. 20. "I'm glad we won this one. The close games are fun, I just wish we could win them all."

Land finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and two blocks.

Reader, the seven-foot senior trans­fer from Brigham Young, had 18 points and five blocks but his huge play in the

That showdown, not the DU win, was foremost on players' minds.

"They've got us twice and I think they were lucky," Reader said. "Those were two hard losses to swallow. I'm looking forward to getting matched up with them in the tournament."

Land agreed and said beating Regis is always on his mind.

"I don' t want to end my career never beating Regis," Land said. "We lost to them twice last year and twice this year. The third time is the charm."

Metro will play at Colorado Christian University on Saturday to fin­ish off the regular season. Tip-off is 7 p.m.

The CAC Tournament begins March I at DU. Game times will be announced next week.

Two Metro swimmers qualified for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Nationals compe­tition.

The swimmers, senior Darwin Strickland and sophomore Scott Watson, smashed their season bests to qualify for the Nationals in the three events. Strickland will represent Metro in two events, the SO-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle. He broke his personal record of :21.21 with a time of :20.68. That score was good enough to beat the

Watson tore past his season best by well over three seconds in the 400-yard individual medley for a first-place time of 4: I I .01. This time also beat the meet record - a record not breached since 1980 when it was set by a University of Denver swimmer.

Although they did not qualify for Division II, the remaining Roadrunners also turned in strong performances. Many of the swimmers were just seconds behind a Division II ranking and scored in the Division ill status. Some of these swim­mers for the women were freshman Kristin Schweissing in the 200-yard freestyle (first place, I :59.25), the 200-yard backstroke (first, 2: I 0.19)-this time broke the meet record held since 1993 by over two seconds.

DU sweeps season series from women

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

For the second time this season and the third time in as many tries, the women's basketball team lost to the University of Denver.

65-64 was the final score but it did­n' t matter if it was a one-point loss or a one hundred point loss.

It was a loss to DU. "It sucks," said Metro shooting

guard Chalae Collard. "It brings a chill down your spine and you hate it because you have to look them in the eye and real-ize you Jost to them again ."

utes," Smith said. "I don't know if they were too excited or what. They lost concentration at key times and you can't do that in championship games."

Vanessa Edwards, the CAC scoring leader and Metro's go-to player, made just six of 21 shots and scored 21 points to lead all scorers, but it wasn't enough.

"I'll be honest, I thought Vanessa got fouled almost every time she took a shot," Smith said. "That took her out of her game and I feel bad for her."

The Roadrunners shot .306 for the game and allowed the Pioneers to hit

missed the shot and Metro fell to second place in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

"It wasn 't the shot I wanted to take,'' Collard said. "When I got the ball I didn 't realize how much time was on the clock. I just didn't get the roll."

The game started ominously for Metro as DU j umped out to a 16-5 lead with 13:22 left in the first half. The Roadrunners cut the lead to four at half­time and trailed 36-32.

Metro coach Darryl Smith said poor shooting and the slow start was too much to overcome.

Last season Metro beat DU twice in the regular season, only to lose in the CAC Tournament final to the Pioneers.

"We can beat them," Smith said. "We just have to play a consistent bas­ketball game."

Metro and DU have met in the past two CAC Tournament Finals with Metro winning two years ago and gain­ing a berth into its first ever NCAA Division II Tournament. The Roadrunners lost in the first round to Augustana University 88-65.

FEBRUARY 23. 1996 The METllOPOl.ITAH 17

Swimmers finish strong in league championships From page 15 seconds faster than her season-long bests in those events. Schweissing also won the 500-yard freestyle (5: 18.54) Senior Tori Ainlay won the 50-yard freestyle (:24.83) and the JOO-yard freestyle (:53.87) - this time broke the meet record she set last year at :54.18, as well as her season best.

Other meet records were made by the relay team of Schweissing, Ainlay, and sophomores Kelly Davis and Angela Hillsten for the 400-yard medley relay (first, 4: 14.42)-this score also beat the meet record by more than a second, as well as the team's season best of 4 : 16. 71. Davis also broke the meet best in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:34.05.

The men also had many Division III qualifiers with junior Tracy Fostvedt in the 200-yard freestyle (second-place, 1 :43.89)-this time demolished the team's season best of I :48.21 in that event. Freshman Mike True swam to a third­place finish, also beating his season best, in the same event (I :45.25), and senior Linc Carlton swam captured third place, seconds ahead of his season best, in the 100-yard backstroke (:53.43). Also, Scott Watson added to his Division TI qualification with his Division III quali­fying tjme of 1:57.41 in the 200-yard individual medley, also bypassing his season record in that event.

Still, though many of the swimmers turned in Division III qualifying times, one must achieve a Division II ranking in order to swim in the Nationals.

The Metro Swimming teams grinded to a slow stop at the end of league season with the men holding an overall record of three wins and six losses and · an Intermountain Swimming League record of 2 wins and four losses. The women pushed the scales far to a one-sided over­all record of one win and nine losses and an ISL record of zero wins and six losses. The Roadrunners also placed weak team scores at the ISL Championships with the men finishing third of five with a score of 411 behind Mines and DU and the women finishing fifth of five with a score of 324. Still, this event is primarily an individual meet as swimmers qualify for national competition. However, through­out the season, both teams' swimmers demonstrated strong individual ability. But with only six competitive swimmers for the women and nine for the men, that' individual talent wasn't enough to carry an entire team to victory against much larger teams such as Denver University and the Colorado School of Mines. These teams were prime competition for the Roadrunners all season long, in swimming and in diving.

The Roadrunners did continue to best their own season record times

throughout the season. Still, many of the peak-performing

Roadrunners will return next season. Some of most promising swimmers include the freshman Schweissing, who is turning in top times in her first season of league swimming. True, also a fresh­man could be a strong competitor for next season, especially now that he has some ISL experience. Others include Scott Watson, who is swimming at Nationals as a sophomore, and sophomore Kyle Cook and junior Fostvedt for the men. For the

women, strong returners could be sopho­mores Angela Hillsten and Davis, and freshman Kim Roseboom.

The teams will only lose three senior swimmers: Ainlay, Carlton, and Strickland. The remaining Roadrunners could make up the losses, but the team may need to acquire more swimmers in order to compete stronger in all-team meets, especially if they want to over­come powerful rivals like the DU and Mines teams.
