Auraria accessibility examined Metro and Auraria administrators tour campus with students to evaluate disabled student needs

By Janet Christine Austin The Metropolitan

Metro and Auraria officials toured the campus Aug. 20 with students with dis­abilities to examine several buildings to determine the accessibility for the dis­abled.

The facility subcommittee from the Disability Task Force held the tour to pro­vide information on the accessibility of ramps, steps, elevators, automatic door openers, table and counter heights, brai Ile on ATM machines, and the availability of teletype machines for the hearing impaired.

"We have assembled students with varying disabilities to get their feedback and any improvements that we can make on the facilities," said Jul ie Rummel, coor­dinator of the Physically Challenged Program. "Then we will take this and we will prepare a report and give it to Auraria to see what they can address."

The report is expected to be ready in about two weeks, and funding has not been decided.

Linear studies

Several changes in fac ilities that will help the disabled are already taki ng place across campus.

Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union, guided the tour and said non-skid strips have been placed on steps at the main south entrance to the Tivoli. The strips will later be replaced with a hard ceramic tile to help people with depth perception difficulties.

"I have a depth perception problem because of my vision, and it helps me determine the first and last steps, so I don't take stumbles down stairs," Metro student Dave Culbertson said.

Changes that need to be made include smoothing out ramps and widening them to allow for wider wheelchairs, providing more teletype machines for the hearing impaired and braille instructions on ATM machines

The ramp in front·of the AMC theater at the Tivoli is to be widened, smoothed­out and placed on the other s ide of the walkway to enable access for wider

Survey planned Questionnaire to determine needs of students

"I've had a few students with disabil­ities come and ask questions," Montoya said. "I've had faculty come and ask ques­tions about, 'How do I serve these stu­dents?' It's not a question of not wanting to help, but how do I help and where are the resources."

METRO BRIEFS Disability handbook out

Metro's Office of Equal Opportunity began distributing its disability handbook to faculty on Aug. 21.

The handbook, A Desk Reference Guide for Students, Faculty and Staff Concerning College Students with Disabilities, outlines Americans with Disabilities Act legal issues and campus resources for disabled stu­dents.

The office held its first work­shop for the handbook for deans, department chairs and institute directors Aug. 21 . Fifteen work­shops will also be held for faculty.

Students needing a copy of the handbook may pick one up in the Central Classroom, Room 315.

Fall enrollment better than hoped

Metro officials said a summer campaign to increase enrollment was successful.

Admissions Department offi­cials said, however, there is a 2 per­cent decrease in enrollment com­pared with fall 1997.

Enrollment applications were down 6 percent during late spring and summer, prompting the depart­ment to send out more than 20,000 postcards to continuing students and active recruiting at community colleges and high schools.

CCD paper restarts Hole-y ... Faulty Tivoli fire alarm replaced By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

The student newspaper at Community College of Denver will be back again Sept. 14, according to the paper's co­editors.

The Community News has stopped and started several times over the last few years. The paper put out its last edi­tion nearly I 0 months ago.

"We had to start from scratch," said Greg Goodman, one of the paper's three co-editors. The paper's two other edi­tors are Scott Padawer and Steve Baum. All three are CCD students.

Now the paper will cover campus events and CCD's stu­dent government. Goodman said he's working on stories that confront regional issues, including a story on a first­amendment battle between a church and the City of Golden.

Io other Tivoli news, the student union might be a qui­eter place this fall since the installation of a new fire alarm system.

For the past several years, the old fire alarm frequently

"None of us knew quite how much we were jump­ing into," Goodman

Greg Goodman

activated without cause, filling the building with sirens and flashing strobe lights. Now, regular Tivoli patrons ignore the fire alann because it has so rarely signi­fied actual danger,

said. The college had to spring to replace stolen computer hardware and software.

The paper's fonner editor, Dennis Archuletta, was the subject of a criminal investiga­tion by the Denver Police Department earlier this year. He was accused of writing bogus purchase orders to use college money to buy comput­er and camera equipment for his own use.

But those days are over, Goodman said.

said Barb Weiske, director of the Tivoli.

"In this building you're more prone to ignore (fire alarms) just because they hap­pen so frequently," she said.

John Swift/The Metropolitan The old alarm system was severely damaged in a hail stonn and flood about a year ago, Weiske said.

The replacement system, costing $48,000, has been under installation since early this year.

Diannid Campbell, of Auraria Higher Education Center Facilities Management, looks at a hole Aug. 25, which was discovered in the construction of a new patio outside the Boiler Room. The new patio will stretch across the front of the AMC Tivoli 12 Theaters and will include a new wheelchair , ramp between the two businesses.

Metro gets math grant Funds to expand teaching program By Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

Metro received a $20,000 grant from the New Century Energies Foundation to expand its math teacher training center.

The center, which was started in fall 1996, trains teachers in hands-on mathe­matics lessons Lhat emphasize math skills students need Lo compete in the workforce.

The center works with elementary school teachers from the Denver, Sheridan and Englewood public school systems.

Metro students and 20 public school teachers.

Johnson said the program will even­tually grow to include high school teach­ers.

"We think the $20,000 is a substan­tial amount," Johnson said.

He added among the 760 students participating in math activities led by center-trained teachers, test scores increased by more than a letter grade in one year, or a student with a 2.0 score at the beginning of the year would score, on average, 3.17 at the end of the year.

"This grant will help us expand a program that not only prepares students for careers in education, but also has a direct impact on teachers already work­ing in our publi~ schools," srud Metro spokeswoman Carrie Schafer. "(Th.e cen­ter is) using updated methods and tech­niques (students) would not normally have acc;:ess to."

CU professors question U.S. attack

(U-WIRE) BOULDER, Colo.-A University of Colorado at Boulder politi­cal science professor and expert in African politics said it's anybody's guess how

. African nations will respond to recent ·-r American military strikes in Afghanistan

and Sudan. "African countries certainly resent

being used and having their citizens- mur­dered in large numbers to hurt the United

"'States," professor Jim Scaritt Sl!id of the embassy bombings. This might push them to support the U.S. actions, he said.

Scaritt said African countries aren't fond of seeing superpowers bombing them, either. In the end, he said, the U.S. action won't end the situation.

' "I don't think that this retaliation is going to stop terrorism, and the U.S. knows it won't, but they feel they have to do something," he said.

Not everyone sees terrorism as the target of the bombing. Ira Chemus, a CU­Boulder professor of religious studies and peace activist, said the military was prob­ably sent to foreign soil to distract people from domestic politics.

"I imagine that plenty of people have noticed that Monica Lewinsky is testifying ... and it would be in the interest of the president to divert attention," Chemus said. "Clinton and his people must be wor­ried that this scandal would make him look like a weak leader."

Chernus also said that the United States might have attacked the sites in Sudan and Afghanistan to flex its muscles in two troubled areas of the world -- Sudan has troubles with its southern neighbors, while Afghanistan is near nuclear sabre­rattlers India and Pakistan -- as a way of encouraging nations in both regions to stay on America's good side.

The long,-long wait TllE METIOPOLITAM

EDITORIAL

NEWs: Several building projects and tech­nology improve­ments are underway on campus.

VIEWS:

It's going to get worse before it gets bet­ter. But then, we hope, it will get much better.

The beginning of the semester always means the same thing: long lines for books, IDs, financial aid, everything. Virtually every college service seems to take much longer than it should.

One day recently the wait in the financial aid line was so long that the department passed out refreshments to waiting students. An interesting use of staff resources.

The changes will produce some inconvenience along the way, but ultimately they're good for students.

In the case of Auraria Book Center, students sometimes waited for

over an hour to pay for their textbooks. This despite the store's extended hours and a newly opened com­peting bookstore across Colfax Avenue.

Both cases, however, largely stem from stu­dents waiting until the last minute to take care of their business on campus. How about buying books a week before class starts? How about applying for financial aid ahead of time?

Remember, these inconveniences are mild compared to what's coming.

Just wait until the new administration and arts buildings start construction. As if the cranes and bulldozers all over campus aren't enough, the new buildings will also eat hundreds of campus parking spaces. Just wait until the Pepsi Center opens. Just wait until rennovations start on Ninth Street Park.

In the end, though, most of these changes will result in a better experience for students.

Many student services don't require a long wait in line anymore because the information is available via the Internet. Sign on to Metro's Web site and you can access account information, registration status, financial aid information, grades and much more. It's not a perfect system yet, but not a bad start either.

Auraria officials are also looking at ways to make the campus more accessible to students with disabilities.

The new administration building will free classroom space that's now taken in North, Central and South classrooms. The new arts building will also add lots of new classroom space.

That's not much comfort to the 55 classes that didn't have a classroom on Aug. 24, but perhaps those students were late anyway because they couldn't find a parking space.

So soon Auraria will be able to house more stu­dents, but will it be able to park their cars?

Parking spaces disappearing

John Swift

Who was it, exactly, that decided no student would need short-term parking at the Tivoli? I'd like to tear the bum apart!

Once, if you had to stop in to drop off papers, or run a quick errand at one of the many offices within that old brewery's halls, you could stop in and hope for one of the near­

ly ten spots that would allow you to park for an hour. That was then.

Later, the time was shortened to 20 minutes, presumably to come into line with the other short­term parking limits on

of that building and every office within those rotting stone walls. Sure, I Jove the architecture and ambiance of that beautiful monstrosity, but why can't I ever find a place to park when I need to go in and do my 20 minutes of business? Some would say, "There's a short-term lot just to the south. Use that."

Wrong! That's going away, and have you noticed the price increase? That defeats the whole purpose of 20-minute free parking.

Also, who is it that gets all the Tivoli permit parking? I happen to know that the vast majority of the employees in the Tivoli don' t. So who is getting all of our spaces?

I suppose there is one theory that I haven't addressed.

Now, or at least the last time I got a ticket there, there are only four spaces for all 35,000 students to share. That comes out to be one turn to park

Perhaps the Tivoli sits smack in the middle of some cosmic vor­tex that eats park­ing spaces one at a time, much like the dryer does the

per student every three months, if each person took their 20 minutes around the clock without stopping.

So who was it that decided we shouldn't have quick access to our student union? Now, the other six spots are firmly in the posession of the caterers that serve the building. I hope they are paying through the nose for that priveledge.

The cost of upkeep on that building is plenty high, and still the fire alarms seem to go off ran­domly. Do the caterers pay to fix that? No. I do.

My tuition, and yours too, pays for the upkeep

socks. Nah! I don't

buy it either. They just keep on stuffing it down my throat, and yours too, like so many other fees and rate hikes. I feel a bit like I would, after winning, a hotdog eating contest.

Sure, they say I win; but I can't stand to eat another one of those damn things.

If they keep feeding me this I might start to believe the cosmic vortex theory.

A harrowing tale nearing the top of Mount Tivoli

The following is the lost account of Metro student Cyrus Bredhoffer's expedi­tion in the early fall of 1998. The group was lost to the clements - all of them per­ishing under the duress of exposure or malnutrition. It's a sad tale full of pain and suffering. I recount it here in hopes some­one will take notice and never make his same mistakes.

Day 1 - Spirits are high. the trek up has been easy, and the view incredible. The creatures sharing their habitat with us are

largely pleasant and easy-going. There is a majesty in this envi­ronment that I've never been privy to in my existence.

Dave Flomberg

JIVE

Day 2 - We've set up camp on the side of this incline. Things are slightly different today, as the creatures seem unhap­py to have us here - it's as if we're intruding. Unfortunately, we've gotten word that inclement weather is fast approaching, so we must wait it out here.

Day 3 - Disaster struck. We have found ourselves stranded here. This incline seems to refuse to allow us our leave until it's good and ready. The creatures are noticeably vexed by our pres­ence in the area, and minor skirmishes have already popped up now and again between them and members of my expedition.

Day 6 - We lost Monty today. Some creature tripped over his leg as it was coming down the incline and attacked. It was brief but brutal. Shortly after the attack. the creature loped off down the incline snarling its displeasure with the rest of us. Morale is low.

Day 9 - I feel as though I'm stuck between heaven and hell. This purgatory I find myself in is a strong analogy for such a picture. Here I am, between the second and third floors of Mount Tivoli, waiting for this cursed incline to move again -freeing me and my comrades from our certain, contemptible deaths. My verve is shaken to its foundation. Supplies are dwin­dling.

Day 14 - Food supplies are almost gone. The rationing only prolonged the inevitable, and now the expedition members have taken to fighting amongst each other. The creatures seem amused by the conflict, occasionally voicing their own, barbar­ic opinions on the matter. The hooting and cat-calling lasts hours once it starts, and whips them into a frenzy. I believe I am going mad.

Day 22 - We've lost four more members of the expedition. God seems to have forsaken us, or at the very least, he is intent on punishing our trespass onto this incline. Some days I drop to my knees and beg it to move again, much to the delight of the evil creatures passing by. I hate them. I want to kill them. I want to die.

Day 26 - It's only me and Francois now. Kevin, Branton, and Merlyn all perished yesterday. I keep seeing Francois look­ing at me and licking his lips, has a mangy dog does before devouring its gruel. I will not let him kill me. I know now I have lost my mind, but with my last clear thoughts, I will save my own life, even if it means taking another.

Day 27 - I killed him. I ate him. He was good. Dayysssysysy It's happy pretty noW preTty Late on stopPed Incline.,

Have MaNY PEAches For lunCnh. Need slEEp noW. That remains the last entry of the lost expedition of Cyrus

Bredhoffer. May god have mercy on his soul, and that of the Tivoli escalator repairmen.

It's custodian, .not ianitor Editor: This letter is in response to Ricardo

Baca's article, "No washing up hands after pants go down." The Metropolitan, Aug:2J, 1998.

While reading this article, I found myself agreeing with Mr. Baca's concern about people not washing their hands after using the restroom. This was until I came across the part where he stated, "Nobody is exempt from this. I saw a janitor not wash his hands." The fact that this janitor didn't wash his hands wasn't what irked me, it was the fact that Mr. Baca referred to the house­keeping staff as "janitors." We "janitors" in the Tivoli arc "custodians," and I feel that there is a difference. I personally feel that the term, "janitor" is demeaning and insult­ing.

This was not the only thing that riled me concerning this article. Mr. Baca wants to point out a custodian's bathroom habits. Well, let's have a little talk about the bath­room habits of the students and staff at the Tivoli.

I can't recall how many times I have gone into the restrooms to clean and found not only the urinals and toilets unflushed, but urinated and defecated upon. I have found toilet paper and newspapers strewn across the floors and who knows what all over the sinks and mirrors.

I realize it is our job to clean the Tivoli, but this does not give the students and the staff the right to have total disregard to not only those who have to clean up after them, but lo those who use the restroom after they

leave. Do these same people make this type of

mess when they are guests at someone's home? I hope not.

Students and staff should learn to regard their offices and restrooms as if they were

Aly~a King/The Metropolitan

guests in someone's home, after all, they are not the ones who have to clean up the mess they leave behind.

Michael R. Sanchez Tivoli custodian

Capitalism is doomed to failure Editor: Karl Marx predicted that capitalism

would fall once it became a global phenom­enon.

Governments all over the world are not experimenting with "free-market" capital­ism and the global economy. It's an experi­ment because nobody really knows how to

control it or what the end result will be. Thus far the experiment has produced four fina·n­cial crises - in Mexico, South America, Russia and Asia - which are causing great suffering among the people. It is only a mat­ter of time before these global crises hit home here in the U.S.A.

Those who have praised the benefits of

global capitalism must now face its down­side consequences: no country on earth can remain immune from the impending disaster caused by the rush of international money flows.

Is there a better way? You bet there is.

Tour guide Mary Taitt waits in the Opera House lobby.

hen people first start talking

W Central City, visions of ciga­rette butts and scantily dressed cocktail waitresses fill my mind.

Until this year. This year I went to the Central City

Opera. On July 4, I ditched the inane nature of Independence Day for Puccini's The Barber of Seville. And it was one of the most rewarding moves I ever made.

It's a given that Central City has a very talented staff working the operas - fantastic singers with professional artisans working around a pleasant house crew. But what really got me is the performance space: the Central City Opera House and surrounding areas. The atmosphere of this place alone is worth enjoy­ing - even without an opera.

Journey with me as we find the historic town abuzz with gamblers and theater-goers alike.

It hit me first when we get out of the car and I smell that brisk Colorado pine. It strikes me like a cannonball, and I am in heaven.

Walking down the hill toward the Opera House, I come across a cobblestone path. It leads to the quaint restrooms, which are nes­tled in their own cozy brick building.

Taking the cobblestone path back out the sidewalk, I notice a black wrought iron fence separating every section from the other. The

Central City, Colorado ·tow menagerie .of .casinos, fresh and uncomfo

fence's spear-like heads give the approaching· courtyard a medieval feel. But that scary touch is lost when I see all the different varieties of shrubberies and foliage. If Bob Ross were still alive, he would have called this courtyard "the happy courtyard." Flowers of every color -yellow, red and white - line the side of the courtyard, which is barriered on one side by the brick restroom building and on the other by the Opera House.

This courtyard is spacious. It's accented by four benches, two cement and two wood.

Ancient brass dedication plates are found attached to the buildings.

I find that Frederick McFarlane was "a gentle and kindly man" who had a fountain dedicated to him. Unfortunate for me, I can't find it - unless it is one of those old-school drinking fountains found in the courtyard.

Another telis of Mr. and 0

Mrs. Gerald H. Phipps and the Gates Foundation's contribu­tion which helped restore the Opera House stage in 1972. Yet another placard said the Gates Foundation contributed the next year to help restore the ceiling art.

This August evening reveals gardening hoses lazily strewn about the yard; I imagine the flowers require daily nourish~ent. Leaves caress the brick floor in a scattered fashion, leading up to a staircase connected to the Opera House.

The staircase is an exit for the house. Its

steep stairs take you high enough to see the historic skyline of residen~ial Central :.. City (It's also a ter­rific place to watch the sun set. Just look straight over the neighboring St. James United, Methodist Church and let your heart embrace the view).

The smell of mountain air is still there. It's the predom. inant trait of this area.

I now go back dow1 brick walkway, past m flowers, out of the court~ of the iron fence to the f stand tall and red at, th House.

Nonetheless, the Opera House doors look like they have history behind them, and they do.

Outside the Teller House. The hotel was ccwipleted in 1872 and cost $107 ,000.

The tall and thin black signs tell me that "Bill Cosby" was "Live in Person, One Night Only, Friday August 14, 1998." So I missed that show by a week. The other sign declared that the Opera House is the home to the Central City Opera, which per­formed The Barber of Seville, Tosca and The Crucible this year.

June to early August, so it'll be a few months before I can see great characters such as Figaro on the stage, but the wait is worth it.

. Inside the house is pure beauty. The Opera House was built in 1877 by the citizens of Central City because they were a flourishing gold mining town. It was later run down, but since 1932 constant restoration has been going on.

The small lobby compliments the elegant performance area. The acoustics aren't great, but the ceiling is painted beautifully, and that .makes up for any musical flaw.

However, the major problem of the Opera

' House - just ask anyone who 's ever seen a show there - are the chairs. They are the most uncomfortable things I've ever sat in. You come out of there needing a serious butt mas­sage.

But no longer. When they open the doors for next season, they will have brand new chairs waiting for the audience.

Exiting the Opera House on the opposite side I came in, I find myself on a balcony. The view isn't as good from here as it is on the other side, but it works. The casinos are still jumbling, and people are still gambling, and_ the mountain air is still filling my nasal capac­ity, so I trudge down the stairs to another courtyard, this one a bit more cozy.

With similar flowers and benches as the last one, the only difference is its hidde)l enclaves.

But there's one last person I have to see. On every trip to Central City, I have to see her at least once. The Face on the Barroom Floor. She's my mistress. I go out of the courtyard, down the road past the nearby Teller House Casino to the second-to-last door of the Teller House. It reads "Face Bar," and I turn right putting all of my body weight into opening the heavy door. She's sectioned off so no one can vandalize her. She looks the same as before. She looks like a flapper, with a quizzical look upon her face. She's sexy and wondrous. She's mystical and gorgeous. She's Herndon Davis' 1936 painting on the floor of an old bar, but she's worth fighting the traffic, the cigarette butts and the moronic gamblers just to gaze at.

The gamblers walk past her, not recog­nizing her timeless beauty and coy presence.

past and covered him with a fresh film of dust: As the cloud of grit crossed his wrin­kled face he didn't flinch or make a sound.

He didn't say a word . Yet, many people don't while hanging

out on East Colfax Avenue .. The stop wasn't necessary, for the

man didn't want the number 15. He want­ed a different bus. A mysterious bus that many look for on this chaotic street.

The traffic light turned red, and a row of anxious motorists cursed their turn to stop. Many looked at the man from their cages - some laughed.

He fished out a pint-sized bus pass from a torn back pocket. It was a bottle of vodka. His trembling fingers shook the bottle to his mouth. He took a long swig. He swallowed, then took another. Snickers and judgments came from the onlooking motorists. He put the bottle back into his poc_ket and continued his stare across the traffic of F.ast Colfax Avenue and Downing Street.

"Hey you bum," yelled a young women from a stopped car. "Get a job ass­hole."

As her words pounded him, he didn't flinch or make a sound.

He didn't say a word. Yet, many people don't while hanging

out on East Colfax Avenue. He crossed his skinny legs revealing

a pair of raggedy beige slippers on his feet.

No shopping cart. No backpack. No words. Nothing but a pint-sized bus pass in a torn pocket. The light turned green and the row of cars moved on as a young man approached the bench and sat beside him. The young man carried a box filled with steaming bread sticks. He ate two, yet nothing was said. Then the young man stood up and readied his bus fare as anoth­er number 15 was aiming for the stop. The bus halted with a hiss and the young man got on. The bus waited, yet the old man didn't move. This wasn't his bus. The number wasn ' t right.

The bus closed its doors with a clank and left. A blanket of black exhaust settled across him. He reached for his liquid pass once again. He took a swig. He swal­lowed, the.n took another.

I left after this. He never did say a word. Neither did I. Yet, many people don ' t while hanging

WE.LC.OME: To METRO, (OAC~

-----Here Yle go again? Women~s sQccer team loaded with talent and demons By Kyle Ringo -The Metropolitan

Metro women's soccer coach Ed Montojo might have thought he had seen it all after his team, in 1994, dropped from its ranking of No. 3 in the nation to a near .500 record.

But then came 1997, when his team once again reached a lofty ranking at No. 5 in the nation only to lose nine of 13 games and finish one game above .500.

Players claimed the coach was too soft on them. This came a year after other players had asked him lo go easy on them.

Newspaper articles - about as important to Montojo as the price of sod in Sudan - came down on the side of tough­ening up.

Montojo decided he had been flexible enough. He decided 24 years of coaching had taught him at least one thing: If you are going to fail, fail your way.

"We need to get back to the attitude that every game is a big game and making people play at our level," Montojo said.

Montojo is once again his feisty self.

And he really isn't concerned what any­.one thinks about it. His t.oleiance fgr being nice while the season implodes is history.

If nothing else, the nine months sepa­rating this season from last have re-ener­gized a man who had been perplexed.

•·1 think what moti\ ates me is just that every year is a new year,and, trying to get all the players to work together as one, and hopefully seeing them develop a passion for the game," Montojo said.

Montojo has 26 players to work with this season. Many played here last year and are looking forward to putting the ugliness of that season behind them.

Several newcomers are expected to

'We need to get back to the atti­tude that every game is a big

game and mak­ing people play at our level.'

make an impact, Montojo said. -~)1-J~hanJiee i•a~Wd.w .. ta.r.t.ln­

goal. Johannes, a junior, attended Metro

briefly seven years ago. She withdrew for personal reasons, Montojo said.

Johannes replaces Jennifer Pierce, who played 1,266 minutes in goal in 1997.

Two of three transfers from Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference foe New Mexico Highlands should challenge for starting assignments, Montojo said.

Kathryn Cziuzas, a junior defender, and Pam DeLuca, a junior forward, are the two likely to play a lot.

"We have probably the most depth we

EdMontojo

hav~ ever had here," Montojo said. "And our ihree transfers brought some expe­rience."

Ariana O'Neill returns to bolster the offense after miss­ing the latter portion of last season with an injury.

Deluca, O'Neill and Kari Pierce will be the primary scor­ing threats.

Freshmen Jennifer Kitano and Megan Schmactenberger are doing well at mid­field in practice, Montojo said.

11te depth and experience of this sea­son's team might be enough to launch Metro back into the top 25, Montojo said.

Sensitive soccer? Uh, yuk

"Floggings will colllinue until morale improves. "

- A sign in Marv Levy's office when he coached the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Kyle Ringo

Ed Montojo admits changing his coaching style was a mistake.

Several players from Metro's women's soccer team approached him several years ago and asked him

COMMITTING to be more sensitive JOURNALISM to the players feel­

ings, Montojo said. Metro soared as high as No. 5 in the

national rankings last season after six games. The plan seemed to be working. Then, the Roadrunners lost nine of their final 13 games, with players literally cry­ing about playing time, whining about the mistakes of their teammates and pouting about Montojo's laid-back attitude. It was the second major collapse in three years.

• .:.he •oa4:Ma.6or si~ &empP*fi- th~ sensitivity charade.

Now, when Montojo barks, 26 women stop dead in their tracks and lis­ten.

Katie Pierce has noticed the differ­ence in her coach as she prepares for her senior season.

"He's being mean," Pierce said, not minding one bit.

Pierce is happy her coach has tough­ened up. She said she is sick of the lolli­gagging practices and poor work ethic that has plagued the team for several years.

Montojo is happy just to be himself again.

"Hopefully the players will develop a thicker skin and realize I still love them after practice," Montojo said. "We need to develop some intensity around here."

Intensity is just right. The women 's basketball program at

Metro is a championship contender annu­ally because players like Danielle Stott and Gabi Sandoval work their butts off refusing to lose.

Meanwhile soccer players are wor­ried about having their feelings hurt?

Most coaches would have scoffed at crybaby players asking for Mr. Nice guy. It is a credit to Montojo that he tried to improve the team by changing his style

Now, let's get back to yelling and winning. Let's shut up and play soccer.

S_leepless soccer coach dreams of shut-eye New keeper, Zanon's, five sophomores

fuel Metro's chances ~B~y_K~y~re_Rin~·~g~o~~~~~~~ ' The Metropolitan

"I probably truly haven't had a good nights sleep since the tenth of October last year," Brian Crookham said. "If you think I'm joking, you can ask my wife."

Those who know the coach of Metro's men's soc­cer team might just think he is joking. After all, he is the reining champion of one-liners in the athletic department since the departure of women's basketball coach Darryl Smith.

But, he is talking about a torturous 1997 season - when everything that could go wrong did - and it becomes apparent Crookham is serious.

The beginning to the sleepless saga probably happened long before Oct. I 0. On that day, Crookham's team lost its seventh straight contest, fur­ther condemning the 1997 season to ruin.

On the eve of a new campaign, Crookham is assured of a few good Zs.

Jared Zanon, last season's leading scorer in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, is back to help Crookham put the past to bed. He returns with little brother Jimmy, a freshman recruit, in tow.

While one Zanon strolls campus with his head shaved, carrying a stuffed doggie as part of his fresh-

man initiation, the other is concentrating on leading the Roadrunners in more than scoring.

"I always want to do good individually," Jared Zanon said. "But what I do individually, I want it to help us as a team so we can have a winning season."

Several players will not be returning to Metro, including last season's starting goalie Stephan Babby and defender Liam Barnes, Crookham said.

Babby had problems academically and Barnes decided he wanted to be near his family and girlfriend in England, Crookham said . . · Mark Torguson, a transfer from Cal-State

Bakersfield, will be in goal at 2 p.m. Aug. 29 at Auraria Fields when Metro takes on Southwest Baptist in the sea­son opener.

Bubba Davis is a new starter at forward. Davis is a transfer from the University of New Mexico who Crookham said will work well with Zanon.

But the new players might not be as important to turning

Brian Crookbam · the tide to winning as the matu-ration of last season's young­

sters, Crookham said. "There is a big difference between starting five

freshman and starting five sophomores," Crookham said. "(Last season) was a maturity thing, It was a mental thing, and a lot of it was pretty damn bad luck."

Crookham is betting another year of practice is the remedy for his brand of insomnia - that, and a few Zs.
