A hearing officer, basing his decision on the Trustees and MSC Handbooks, ruled in Metro State's favor, settling a seven-month grievance involving a 13-year English instructor and the college.

------NEWS------Seven federal scholarships awarded to MSC teacher education majors Debra Schluter Reporter

A total of $33,450 in federal scholarship funds has been awarded to seven Metro­politan State College students who plan to pursue careers in teaching.

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education selected seven of MSC's 10 nominees for Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarships from a state-wide pool of 110 students.

MSC recipients Mabel Elstad, Rebecca Gabriella, Marianne O'Shea, Susan Skellenger, Anne Stutler and Nancy Sub­lette were each awarded $5,000. Barbara Lemke, who ha5 completed her course work and will finish student teaching in mid-November, was awarded $3,450.

Originally called the Congressional Teacher Scholarship Program, the federally­funded program is designed to encourage outstanding students to enter the teaching profession.

This year the CCHE awarded scholar­ships to 44 of the 110 students nominated by colleges and universities across the

state. Participating schools are allowed a maximum of 10 nominees, according to Geri Reinardy, assistant to the executive director of the CCHE. The exception is the University of Northern Colorado, which, as the officiaJly recognized primary teacher education program in the state, is allowed30.

With seven of its 10 nominees awarded

"I am very proud of all our winners," Branch said. "The quality of our students has never been questioned by the people who employ our grads in the school systems."

In order to apply for a scholarship, students must have been in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class, and must be enrolled or accepted for

"I am very proud of all our winners. The quality of our students has never been questioned by the people who employ our grads in the school systems."

Charles Branch, dean of the School of Professional Studies

scholarships, MSC was second only to UNC in the number of scholarship recipi­ents. Eleven of UNC's 30 nominees were selected; no other school received more than four.

Charles Branch, MSC dean of the School of Professional Studies, said he was pleased, but not surprised with the number of awards MSC students received.

enrollment in a course of study that leads directly to teacher certification.

Branch said he has fought the 10 percent rule, considering the number and quality of students who would otherwise qualify.

The rule is a stipulation set down by the federal government, Reinardy said.

"We [the CCHE] tried to fight it too. It's really a stupid requirement. We are still

working on that for next year," Reinardy said.

Once nominated, students are judged on the basis of scholarship, desire to teach, and community involvement. Awards are $.5,000 or the total cost of tuition, fees, room and board and personal expenses -whichever is less.

Before accepting their awards, reci­pients must sign a contract agreeing to teach full-time for two years at any public or private non-profit school in the country.

Students are allowed 10 years to fulfill the terms of the contract. If they fail to do so, they must repay the award at 14 percent interest or the most recent Treasury Bill interest rate plus 5 percent - whichever is greater.

Most of the recipients have no qualms about signing the contract, Reinardy said. They are comfortable in their career choices and committed to teaching.

MSC awardee Skellenger said she was delighted with the program and the con­tract.

"I like signing a contract ~ it has solidi-fied my future," she said. D

New shuttles replace old school buses Chad Morris Reporter

No, those slick buses with Continental Airlines logos on them arriving at the west entrance of the Student Center are not going to Stapleton.

They're the new buses the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) is using for its shuttle s~rvice between the Auraria Cam­pus and the Sports Center parking lots at 14th and Federal.

For three years the system was run by ·Denver Trolley Systems until their contract ran out last semester, said Randy Ready, AHEC's transporta,tion coordinator.

Because of state requirements, the Trans­portation Department had to open bidding on the contract and All-West, Inc. out-bid Denver Trolley Systems, he said.

Later, a trolley like the Tivoli/16th Street Mall shuttles will be added, Ready said. And a new 200 vehicJe lot is also being built at the Sports Center. The current lot holds about 700 cars.

Ready said about 600 hundred students and faculty use the lots each day.

The shuttles run Monday thru Friday from 7a.m. to 6p.m. Until four, they run every ten minutes and after that every 20 minutes. Ticket cost is 25 cents. Passengers also need their student l.D.'s when they board the bus.

Tickets can be purchased outside the west entrance of the Student Center at one of two vending machines. A monthly pass is available for $4 at the Campus Ticket Center .or the AHEC Parking Office at 1250 Seventh St. A valid student I.D. is required for purchase.

Students board one of the new shuttles that run from the Student Center to free parking near Mile High Stadium. They replace last year's school bus models.

Another change is the requirements of an Auraria Vehicle Registration decal to use the lots. These cost $3 and are available at the Parking Office. A current student l.D.

and vehicle registration are required at the time of purchase.

For any further information, student or faculty should call the Auraria Parking and

Transportation Services at 556-3640. Oh, and new Auraria logos have been

ordered by AHEC so people will ·stop try­ing to get to the airport on their buses. D

Norton urges senate to revise constitution Robert Ritter Associate Editor

A call for a convention to revise Metro­politan State College's constitution high­lighted the first official meeting of the stu­dent government Aug. 26.

President Martin Norton said the lan­guage of the constitution has created problems for student government.

"It's so vague and there are so many dis­crepancies between the bylaws and the constitution. Revisions have to be made," he said.

Norton said the senate has had to look to the Judicial Board, the judicial branch of student government, but the document hasn't been able to provide them with any answers.

The right to call for a convention is implicit in the constitution's definition of the president's powers, he said.

He added that students are free to make any proposals for amendments to the senate, which will begin reviewing the constitution in the next few weeks.

Then, ratification debates will be held to argue the revised document.

"The debates are open to the students and they are encouraged to participate," Norton said.

Norton and vice president Kelly Martin are not allowed to participate in the actual revision, which will be mainly left to

the senate. After the debates and a final draft, the

revision needs to be approved by a two­thirds vote from the senate before it goes to the students in a referendum vote. The vote could come by December, Norton said.

He said he would like the revised consti­tution to redistribute the authority of the executive branch and more authority returned to the students.

"A lot of responsibility is placed on the president that has been taken away from the students, such as the authority and procedures for appointments," Norton said. 'Tm looking at a strong constitution that gives responsibility back to the students. They need to decentralize this office more."

At least one senator agreed with Norton. "My personal opinion is it [the constitu­

tion] needs a bit more specificity than has been ·previously addressed. We want to give as much power to the people we're representing. Rewording will do that. It'll be a job, but will be worth it," first-year Senator Dan Becker said.

In other action, the senate voted Brook Turner, president pro tern, which means he'll be third in line of succession behind Norton and Martin.

Martin also said the student govern­ment is looking to another activity for stu­dents this fall "so students can enjoy meet­ing one another." D

Veteran's daughter honored

English major receives $1,500 Coors scholarship Kelly Pasta Reporter

Sandra Begley-Altherr, wife, mother, author and student (not necessarily in that order) , was named the 1987 Metropolitan State College winner of the Coors Vete­ran's Memorial Scholarship.

As a senior majoring in English, she has the highest grade point average per earned credits of all the students who will graduate in May 1988.

Major General Larry Tibbetts, USAF, presented the $1,500 cash scholarship to Begley-Altherr in a ceremony at MSC's Ninth Street Park Thursday evening.

Begley-Altherr attributes her 4.0 grade point average to her supportive husband, and also an understanding employer. She said her boss allows her to juggle her work hours around her school schedule and alsc allows her to study at work.

"It was a real surprise," said Begley­Altherr. "I wasn't aware of the scholarship even being available."

Begley-Altherrpraised MSC as being the best place to return to college rather than a school like CU-Boulder.

"I fit right in," said Begley-Altherr. 'Tm glad there was a place like MSC available to me when I decided to go back to school."

Other awards given to Begley-Altherr include two first-place awards in the MSC English department's Creative Writing Contest. First in 1986 for the Poetry cate­gory and again in 1987 for the Fiction category.

The scholarship was made possible through a gift to the MSC foundation from the Adolph Coors Distributing Company of Denver. It was established to award cash scholarships to veterans' children who have completed at least one year of college, and it is used to help these students continue their educations. Her father served 20 years in the United States Air Force.

Begley-Altherr is married to Thomas Altherr, an MSC history professor, is a mother of three teen-age daughters and works part-time as a secretary for Oceanic Exploration Company in Denver.

She was one of three scholarship winners honored at the ceremony. The other win­ners were Pearl G. lronshell, a UCD sophomore, and Diane Guthrie, a second­year student at CCD. D

Metro. looks to alumni for monetary ~upport

C. Patrick Cleary Reporter

Donors - not dollars - are the main focus of this year's alumni fund drive, which kicks off with a nationwide letter and phone campaign Oct. 5, according to MSC' s Office of Institutional Advancement.

Approximately 18,000. graduates and 22,000 students who have taken at least one year of classes at MSC will receive letters and follow-up phone calls from the school in search of monetary support, said Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement.

The fund drive, which will cost $42,000, is coordinated ofl a national level by Denver Nuggets owner Sidney Schlenker, Gi~eschi said.

Schlenker, who is not a graduate of MSC, volunteered for the job.

"We wanted someone who was known both in Colorado and nationally who could talk of the needs of the institution without being an employee," Gianneschi said of choosing Schlenker.

"He embodies the spirit of the institution. He is a risk taker."

Since statistics indicate that 80 percent of first-year ~onors will continue to give money, Gianneschi said he wanted to focus on the donors. ·

Gianneschi announced the project, which has been in the planning stages for two years, during the president's convocation address to MSC faculty and staff Aug. '1:7.

He said his office raised $200,000 last year without major solicitation efforts.

"Our 10-year projection for non-state dollar support is $3-$5 million," he said.

Money generated from the 10-year fund drive will be used for student scholarships, student loans and faculty development.

.. We need to improve the plight and quality of the faculty," he added.

"He embodies the spirit· of the institution. He is a risk taker."

-Harry Glanneschl on Sidney Schlenker

The phone-a-thon will be located in CN301 and will ·he conCiucted in the evenings. The campaign will last one calen-dar year. '

Gianneschi said hfs office Will also solicit local corporations in search of major gifts.

The office also plans future events surroJJDding the community, and composer Marvin Hamlisch will get back in the picture, he said.

For a.donation of $22 or more, individuals will receive a cassette tape of the school song or a free MSC T- shirt. For donations of. $50-$75, donors will receive a Marvin Hamlisch autographed copy of the sheet music of the school song, he said. D

USA To.day hires former Met editor

Sal Ruibal at work.

Karl Braun Reporter

Fonner editor of The Metropolitan, Sal. Ruibal, reached the big time last week when he was hired by USA Today.

After being recruited by both Gannett Broadcasting and OSA Today, Ruibal will start as assignment editor for the Money section Sept. 14 in Washington, D.C.

Editor of The Metropolitan in 1980 and '81, Ruibal left Metro State in the spring of his senior year to work for the Rocky

Mountain Business } oumal where he worked his way up to associate editor .

In 1983, Ruibal went to work for the Boulder Daily Camera as business editor. After a year at the Camera, he went back to the Journal as general manager.

There he recruited a number of MSC graduates including Frank Mullen, Susan Chapman and Steve Rabbe, all former Metropolitan staff members in 1981.

"That was as good a staff as you could find anywhere," Ruibal said referring to the 1981 staff.

"The fact that they have all been success­ful shows how strong a journalism program Metro has," Ruibal said.

In the summer of 1986, he moved to Columbia, Mo., to work for the Daily Tribune as managing editor.

Ruibal was honored at the journalism department alumni banquet last spring as Outstanding Alumnus in the News Media for 1987.

Ruibal had only praise for the work of Greg Pearson, chairman of Metro's journal­ism department, and his program.

"Having been there for the time I was and being exposed to the good program that Pearson puts together," Ruibal said, "I feel that my accomplishments are because of Greg's influence.

"Listen to what he has to tell you, he knows what he is talking about and he can bring out the good writer if it's there." a

----OP-ED---­Why the silence?

If nothing else from the past week is remembered, it should be remembered as the week no one wanted to talk - or at least be known for what they were saying.

We received two letters this week. One criticized the financial aid office. The other one delivered a message to inconsiderate professors. Both the wri­ters expressed opinions they not only are entitled to hold, but are entitled to express without fear of retri­bution. Yet both requested anonymity because they were afraid. Afraid of what some vindictive professor or administrator might manage to do to them? Afraid to be recognized for practicing what is supposed to be the most remarkable trait of this country: the right to speak an opinion without fear.

It is a sad plight when two people who invest the time and money to attend a public institution that is bound to all the rights and privileges we American& inherit feel the stifling effects of unjustified fear.

Neither writer said anything malicious or libelous. They simply took the time and made the effort to speak their minds on two issues that need to be resolved.

It would be too easy to blame the imagined power of the administration or the faculty for the fear these two writers have.

The blame should fall squarely on us. We are the ones who have allowed this to happen. It is our ongoing silence that has perpetuated the fear to speak out when we are unjustly wronged. We have become so accustomed to meekly taking whatever abuse those that control the money or grades care to bestow on us that our own voices of protest frighten us. It doesn't take a genius to realize where our silence will lead us. History teaches a powerful les­son on those who remain silent too long.

It is a strange school. On one hand we have stu­dents who don't want to sign letters of public protest, on the other hand we have administrators who want to choose our teachers for us and then feel no obli­gation to explain their motive.

When Jan Delasara, chairman of the English department, was asked if she would comment on the results of the Larry DiPaolo grievance against the school she replied, "No. It's over." That was it. No. words of praise for a man who has enlightened countless students for thirteen years at this school. No explanation as to why DiPaolo was not offered another temporary full time contract. No response to a situation that has nothing to do with her education, yet, has much to do with ours. Remember, this is the same person who, when told of DiPaolo's excellent student evaluations said, "That's only the students." One couldn't ask for a better example of administra­tive arrogance. To Delasara's credit it should be added that she was more than happy to refer us to Dr. Larry Johnson's office. In the true bureaucratic spirit, she has learned to pass the buck.

Larry Johnson, dean of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, was asked if he would comment on what kind of message he thought the DiPaolo deci­sion would send to the students and faculty. He said, no, but he would say that DiPaolo was one of 300 part-time and temporary instructors at the school.

Oh. There is a great gulf between the students and the

administration at this school. ' It is going to take one inspired piece of bridge

building to start communicating. No comments and requests for anonymity are not

the sturdiest of foundations on which to start the bridge.

F,i nancial aid attacked Dr. Fulkerson:

I am writing this letter to you to formally complain to Metropolitan State College about the mis­management of the financial aid department. I, and many others, are frustrated and just plain mad. I have been put in a position by the foul-ups of this department that I distaste. I am being forced to beg, borrow or steal to make ends meet. The financial aid office has a big problem. They are way over their heads down there and they need someone to save them. I suggest as the interim president you could make a lot of people happy if you could solve this problem.

My story of harassment by this department begins in February of this year when I got a letter from the financial aid office informing me that I filled out part of my Student Aid Report wrong. I promptly correct­ed my SAR and sent in four dollars to get it corrected. In March I received another letter saying that the aid office hadn't received my corrected SAR. I had sent it to them, but I had another copy sent to me which I then sent to the aid office. I called and they said not to worry. I worried and I called again in a few weeks and I again was told that my SAR was not there. I was told not to fret. I fretted for a few weeks. Finally, in April when I called, someone looked around and found my SAR. It had been there all the time.

About a week later I received a letter and it said another item was wrong and it threatened that if I didn't fix the item immediately I would not get any aid. So I fixed it right away. Another week or so went by and yet another letter arrived and with it another

threat. This time I called. The counselor I spoke to told me how to correct this problem and assured me that all other items were in order. A couple of weeks went by and, you guessed it, another letter and another threat. Again I called and fixed the problem. By this time it was about three weeks until summer school started and I needed my Guaranteed Student Loan desperately. I did finally receive my loatl.

My saga continues. On Tuesday, August 25th, I naively thought I would be able to get my National Direct Student Loan and my Pell Grant. I thought this because I had gotten my official award letter in the mail saying that I was awarded a loan and a grant and that all I had to do was come and pick up my check on the first day of school. But no! The aid office informed me that my Pell Grant was held up because "my SAR and computer read-out had to be reviewed to make sure all the information is correct and the same." I hand delivered my signed and dated award letter on August 5th and twenty days later someone informs me that my grant has to be reviewed. I asked her when this would be done and she replied, "Well, we don't have anyone to do that right now, but maybe someone will be able to get around to it next week. "

Excuse me a moment while I scream. My rent is due and I really would like to buy my school supplies.

I transferred to Metro for a reason. The University of Colorado in Boulder was constantly screwing up my financial aid and everything else. Because I was tired of deal ing witb inept morons I transferred here. In 1982 I was enrolled at Metro and at that time I

didn't need any aid, but friends of mine had told me how easy it was to get. They were also impressed at how smoothly the department was run. What hap­pened?

So now here I am, broke and desperate, but not by any fault of my own. By putting my trust and my future into the hands of this institution I may have backed myself into a very tight corner.

My story is one in a thousand, unfortunately for the school. I personally ~now one woman who dropped out because she had come to the end of her rope. I don't think Metro can survive if people start dropping out or transferring because of one frus­trating and badly run department. •

Your teachers are wonderful and the student body is mixed and excited about learning. Going to Metro could be a fantastic learning experience for many people; why mess things up by letting one mis­managed and inept department ruin the whole experience.

I am imploring you for my sake and others to look at this appalling situation. Maybe you should have the people who work in the aid office compute their own checks. Maybe then they would take the time to learn how to use a computer.

I am dropping off a letter to Governor Romer's office, personally. I am serious. I want some action now!

S.K.C. NOTE: S.K.C requests that other students write Dr. Fulkerson and Governor Romer expressing their opinions.

''Getaway''

C. Patrick Cleary Reporter

Getaway. New England getaway. .Just east of the Rocl<y Mountain splendor

lies the land of plenty. Jobs a-plenty. Of course depending on the fate of a few

barges' ability to float in the Persian Gulf, people in that neck of the woods seem kind of oblivious to current economic trends, west of the Mississippi, in this nook.

For three centuries, proud where it has been, Northeastern heritage is American and in some cases prosperous survival has come with Puritan blend.

So if things are so nice why not move out there? Even the state of Connecticut fea­tures fantastic statistics somewhat alluring to both the blue and white collar man. Number one in per-capita income and a state treasury with three-quarters of a billion dollars surplus, such a cash flow should certainly be enough to satisfy the road and bridge demands of Colorado's western end.

Giant billboards advertising jobs? Where - here? No way. I wonder if that area even needs government control to amend.

Such is the life to be able to move where the money is, always meeting new people and making new friends. But while there

these past few prosperous months, of all the people I met, only a few locals became good friends.

Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee, all the tradesmen I got to know were coming from far off lands to where the money was aflow.

''What about Denver, Dallas and Little Rock, why are they dead?,,

Building a $1 million speculation house, most local tradefolks were a no-show. Connecticut etiquette is not my goal.

Co where the money is, one drywaller said. New Jersey, New York and New England were sure bet capital gains for my countrywide friends. But when we de­parted, I wonder if we will ever frame the same type of house, coming together in Colorado as friends .

What about Denver, Dallas and Little Rock, why are they dead? Or do help wanted ads in those cities' papers help continue this country's tradesmen's no­madic trend.

I came back and now sit under blue skies, shaded blue skies, its mountains bigger than piles of money in that Eastern land, pondering what matters most. Economic survival or psychological zeal. Romantic moments in a BMW or bits of mountain laurel caught in a fishing reel.

My home for the summer, just southwest of the Berkshire mountain range along the patriotic banks of the Housatonic River, was real. Money was made and bills were cleared.

My home for the winter, trailing the books of 13 years of college along the banks of the South Platte River, some say is not real. Skirting the issues gf economic survival it appears.

The hammer hits the nail like the worm hits the book. The whole world is real.

Getaway, go where you want.Just make sure you take what is inside you, Con­necticut and Colorado's lot.

Profs assailed Dear Editor:

The professors who think they are "good guys" and generous people because they keep the students in class later than the designated time are actually mean, inconsiderate, thoughtless and selfish.

It takes a long time to walk, for example, from the South Classroom Building to the East Classroom Building. Even if we run we are late for the next class and receive a dirty look from the professor.

Dear educators, please think, please, be more considerate with us, the students. You were once students.

Thank you, A.B.

At the grievance hearing, DiPaolo said he received no backing from Delasara or Johnson. But he did have backing from former MSC President Dr. Paul Magelli and Greg Pearson, chairman of the journalism department, who testified for him at the hearing.

"I think it's sad. He is a tremendous

teacher," Pearson said. As far as DiPaolo is concerned, the mat­

ter may be far from finished. '"The grievance hearing simply

addressed the procedural aspects of the case. I directly challenge the. administra­tors to address the ethical and moral impli­cations," be said. 0

Duane Black (left) and Bryan Foster are Greater Tuna.

Tall Texas tales told by Tuna duo

Royden Marsh Reporter

Greater Tuna, written by ]aston Wil­liams, l oe Sear~ and Ed Howard, is per­formed at StageW est, 1385 Curtis St., through Sept. 30. It stars Bryan Foster and Duane Black and is produced and directed by Rick Seeber.

Welcome to Tuna, Texas, population 20 and one deceased. Tuna is just like any small midwestem town, a tightly knit group of residents whose lives revolve around the local radio station, Radio OKKK. If that doesn't give you a hint about this show, wait till you hear this.

The residents of the quaint little town consist of Mr. and Mrs. Bumiller. Bertha Bumiller is the president of the Tuna Helpers and member of the Fewer Blacks in Literature Society. Mr. Bumiller just fools around a lot. Their children are Stanley, a psychotic reform school refugee; Charlene an overweight unsuccessful cheerleader who reads her poem "My Tuna" over the radio; and the _youngest, Little Jody, "who is never seen without a pack of dogs following him."

Another prominent couple is R.R. and DiDi Snavely. DiDi runs a used weapon store and R.R. is a drunk who claims he saw a UFO that looked like "a hovering chal­upa without the guacamole." Sound famil· iar? If you come from a small town it's really nottoo far off the mark ... not to~ far.

The only character without a "speaking" role is the newly deceased Judge Rosco Buckner, found dead in a Dale Evans one­piece swimsuit with lots of cow-gal fringe. Another character is Yippy Ya Ya Yo - or Yippyforshort. Yippyisadogthat"speaks" a lot, and with a name like that you can guess how.

The truly unique twist to Greater Tuna is not its highly imaginative writing, but the fact that all twenty characters are played by two actors. Of the characters already mentioned, Bryan Foster, who has acted at the Heritage Square Opera House, plays

Mr and Mrs. Bumiller - psychology stu­dents can have a good time with that one -and R.R. Snavely. My favorite Foster character is Pearl Burras, an arthritic dog poisoner.

Duane Black plays all the other charac­ters mentioned: Stanley, Charlene, Little Jodi and DiDi. Black has done several pro­ductions at the Denver Center for the Per­forming Arts and the Arvada Center. My favorite Black character is Vera Carp, vice, president of the Smut Snatchers of the New Order. Black seemed to have less finesse and confidence than Foster and some of his character changes seemed rough, but it was not a distraction.

The set is simple: two kitchen tables, chairs, a radio and very few props - : maybe too few. Screen doors, papers, water jugs, glasses, coffins and bodies are pantomiined, sometimes poorly. Why fake­it when the real thing would do?

The costume changes are incredible, every character has a change of clothing of some sort and some a complete change: Some of these changes happen so fast it boggles the mind and all of them happen without a hitch.

StageW est is a new theatre, located in the Galleria of the Denver Arts Center. It isn't large (250 maximum capacity) so there isn't' a bad seat in the house.

SeaHng is cabaret style with small tables and chairs on rising levels. Drinks, which are not included in the ticket price, are seroed before the show and during inter­mission.

Student Hcket prices are $6 on Wednes­day, Thursday and Sunday and $9.95 on Friday and Saturday with a current ID. Regular prices are: Wednesday and Thurs­day -$14.95, $13.95 and $11.95; Friday .tJnd Saturday - $16.95, $15.95 and $13.95; and Sunday - $15.95 and $13.95. For­tickets and information call StageW est at 623-6400. Show .Hmes are: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 6 and 9 p.m.; and Sunday at 2 p.m. 0

The Latin-style rock group Santana brought their tour buses to Denver Wed-

.-• nesday, August 26, for a stop at McNichols Sports Arena. Last year the group was sup· posed to come but pulled out Nonetheless, throngs of people braved the rain waiting for the doors to open. After the concert was moved from Red Rocks. Those with general admission tickets had dibs on .the floor

~ seats, while those with reserve tickets sat in the first and second levels.

The Neville Brothers opened the show with a mixture of jazz and reggae, and joined Santana for a few songs as well. Although both bands incorporated their

• own s,tyle of playing, it later seemed as though Santana used the Neville Brothers as a crutch. Perhaps a lack of preparation by group fo~nder Carlos Santana left Mm feeling dependent on the Neville Brothers to fill in the gaps between his own classics.

The Neville Brothers performed a nice " set, but fans were encouraged by Santana

to applaud them four more times. It became tiring watching and listening to both bands share the stage. Besides, the main attraction was Santana, not a smaller version of the Prince's Trust Concert where everyone joins together with the band. Who said that

' anyway?! Another unexpected let down was the

absence of lead vocalist and guitarist, Buddy Miles, originally scheduled for the tour.

He was set free without any explanation to the audience, who came to support his

--.reunion with Carlos. He was missed, espe-.., cially since their last live recording was

back fn 1972. At times, Carlos Santana seemed more

asleep and lethargic in his guitar playing than musically inspired with his eyes closed.

A positive part about the concert was the

musicians playing behind Carlos Santana. They could just as well have stood on their own. Players included Armando Peraza, a 63 year-old who delighted the crowd with his exhaustive beating on the congas and bongos. Raul Rekow also displayed his congas and percussion ability with ener­getic enthusiam. Orestes Vilato on timbales and percussion gave a tireless solo and was an excellent addition with Graham Lear on drums to complete the percussion ensemble.

On keyboards, Chester Thompson, known for his past membership in Tower of Power, contributed highly with his key­board and synthesizer expertise. Another familiar bass player, Alphonso Johnson, impressed the audience with his finger­popping licks and solo. His past experience has been with Woody Herman, Chuck Mangione and Weather Report. Finally, vocalist Alexander Ligertwood completed the Santana sound.

Aside from a few disappointments, it was refreshing to hear such classics as "Black Magic Woman," a song originally done by Fleetwood Mac, but which had more success as a remake by Santana. "Oye Como Va," "Evil Ways," "Open lnvita­tion,'"'She's Not There,'' the banner-waving "Europa," "Incident at Neshabur," and tunes from the new "Freedom" album were welcome songs to make the ears ring at a constant hum.

Overall, the audience seemed receptive to the show.

Maybe the move from Red Rocks and the lack of climate contributed to the flaws in the show. While Carlos appeared a little lackadaisical, wandering around the stage as if riding a flashback from Woodstock, he has left an impressive past and a definite mark in music history. He has created a legacy in his twenty years of performance, spanning 22 albums that are worth dusting off and playing again. a

tana seemed more asleep r playing than musi­es closed. 11

"Carlos can tear through s cliches and, in the same breath, touch to hit the subtlest and softes that can captivate an audience. 11

-Julle

• • • he says yes Ray Ferguson Reporter

I was pretty sure I'd never go to another concert at McNichols Sports Arena. There are always too many people, the

· acoustics are terrible, parking is ridiculous and I don't even like the name of the place.

But on Aug. 26, the Carlos Santana Band transformed the sports arena into some­thing a little more tolerable.

The current Santana Band, in its 34th version, consists of Ca:rlos Santana on guitar, a youthful Alphonso Johnson on bass ( he was excellent, I might add), Ches­ter Thompson on keyboards, Alex Ligert­' wood on vocals and rhythm guitar (although I doubt it was even plugged in), and the usual amazing percussion section featuring Raul Rekow on congas and bongos and Graham Lear on drums. (Do they have a Nobel prize for percussionists?) One man I missed in the line up was Buddy Miles who left the band for a solo career.

The last time I saw this band was in 1976 when they opened for Eric Clapton. I remember being impressed by how cohe­sive the band was. I also remember being impressed by Carlos' guitar. Even my home computer can't transfer energy faster or more efficiently than Carlos can.

I heard somewhere that Carlos' guitar is made with a lot more metal than a regular one. He said that it helps with feedback and sustaining effects. I don't think it's just the guitar, though. He has a lot to do with it. Imagine doing Ben Franklin's kite experiment with a guitar instead of a key.

Carlos can tear through searing riffs and cliches and, in the same breath, lighten his touch to hit the subtlest and softest sounds that can captivate an audience.

The set opened with some of the group's more recent work, but throughout the show, they covered material from many of their 24 albums. A medley from their first self-titled album and the Abraxas albumn was a highlight of the show. Santana moved fluidly from "Evil Ways" to "Black Magic Woman" to "Oye Como Va,'' and inter­twined it all with "Incident at Neshabur" and ~en a little Jimi Hendrix.

The version of "Goodness and Mercy" (a somewhat spiritual song Carlos dedicated to one who had recently departed this world) was reminiscent of the days the band used to trade licks with Greg Rollie and Neil Schon.

Throughout the show, members of the Neville Brothers (a New Orleans based reggae/funk/rhythm and blues band) who opened the show, joined Santana on stage. On the Zombies' "She's Not There,'' they especially helped Ligertwood's vocal, adding a bit rougher and stronger sound.

As with dessert, they saved the best for last. The encore ended with a rendition of. "Samba Pa Ti," a song that can still raise goosebumps just thinking about it.

Pervasive through the concert was the feeling that these guys belie the current "money for nothing~· school of rock 'n' roll. They work for a living and, most impor­tantly, for their fans. Their unselfishness with which they gave themselves to the audience was refreshing in this wqrld of silk-lined expense accounts.

Carlos may be a devadip (whatever that is) in his religion, but to guitar worshippers, he's a master.

Either way, that's about it for concerts at McNichols for me. Well, unless I can get some good seats to U2 next month. Maybe.

A young man, drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, but also drafted to serve in Viet Nam, lost his leg when he stepped on a land mine. Another young man, active in sports, had a motorcycle accident in which he suf­fered permanent damage to both his legs.

What do these two have in common? They play wheelchair basketball. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to

8:50 p .m. in the West Court of the PER building, a new wheelchair basketball team practices. The team, partially composed of Metro State students, is named the Denver Express, and is one of three wheelchair teams in the Denver area.

The team was conceived last year by Larry Sidebottom and Allen Seals, a Metro State student. Rick Kellogg agreed to coach the team.

But the main problem for this fledgling team was finding a vacant indoor basket­ball court for practice. The solution came when Seals contacted the Auraria Physical Education and Recreation office and

arranged to use one of the vacant courts two evenings a week. •

At the start of this semester, the new Denver Express was formed.

The team's ultimate goal is to become the newest member of the Rocky Mountain Conference of the National Wheelchair Athletic Association (NW AA) . ..

"We don't really plan to join the Rocky Mountain Conference until the 1988 sea­son. This season we're concentrating mainly upon the development of this team," Kel­logg said. "We'll be playing in some tour­naments and doing some exhibition games later on this season, but mainly we11 t'>e working on the development of the team."

Kellogg said he would consider an exhi­bition game against the Metro State bas­ketball team, but the Express would not be ready to play any serious games until either November or December.

The Metro State students participating in the Express' practice;.re: Scott Weinmas­ter, Allen Seals, Paul Ogg, and Marc Rea.

"We're looking for more players, but they should have good mobility and at least be able to dribble a basketball." Kellogg said. o

Players scramble for rebound during wheelchair basketball practice.

Campus pool now ready for handicapped use t..

"Cowboy" Marc Rea Guest Writer

Is wheelchair basketball the only form of athletic activity offered to the handicapped

• population attending Metro? The answer is no, according to Mike Sea­

ton, who is in charge of adaptive sports at the campus rec offices.

''I'd like to see more use of the gym by handicapped people." he said. "We're limited by what we have here ... Campus

• Rec is limited in what they buy." Seaton said the inception of new pro­

grams and services is "dependent upon individuals expressing interest."

"One of the things I'd like to see is more feedback from other handicapped students of what they'd like," he said.

accessible sport for the handicapped. Campus Rec installed a transfer chair, a

device that allows a person using a wheel- · chair, or one that has severly limited leg function to transfer himself into the pool.

; Previously, it was necessary for a disabled person to be lifted into the pool if be was not able to enter it on his own. Other activities envisioned by Seaton, are adaptive aerobics instructed by an expert from a local YMCA, and wheelchair acces­sible racquetball courts.

"One student, who is disabled, bas regis­tered in a racquetball course and has to transfer out of his chair, crawl across the floor, through the door, and then crawl back into his wheelchair to participate in the class because the doors are not wide enough," Seaton said. "I'm looking for someone who's part of wheelchair sports, who knows the rules, and is interested in teaching others."

Expansion of handicapped sports and programs is dependent upon response, be said.

"It may not be that important to start a handicapped program, but rather to gen­erate interest in Campus Rec by the handi­capped population on campus and let them know the facilities are available." Seaton said. D

SPORTS---League coaches predict poor finish Jean Anderson Reporter

Opposing coaches pick Metropolitan State's women's volleyball team to finish no better than fifth this year in the Con­tinental Divide Conference.

Roadrunner head coach Pat Johnson disagrees.

"I think we have a goal of winning the conference, and I think it's reasonable to expect this," Johnson said at the start of her 12th and final season coaching the team. "It remains to be seen if this team will push themselves hard enough."

The Roadrunners are a young team again with only two seniors on the roster, but a core of eight returning players should pro­vide the strength of experience to win the close matches, she said. '

Returning seniors are team captain Sandy Mohr and Heidi Keyes. Also returning are junior Lisa Macklin and sophomores Sharee Blunt, Nina Fanelli, Diane Johnson, Tracy Karg and Julie Theander. Junior Verna Julation, sophomore Sharie Brock and freshmen Heather Cooper and Penny Untiede round out the roster.

"The fact that we didn't have experience hurt us last year," Johnson said of the disappointing 18-24 record.

Internal friction hurt the team as well. Johnson said problems stemmed from players not knowing each 0th.er, on or off the court.

"There's a stronger commitment from everybody as far as effort and desire. That's a nice surprise,'' Johnson said.

Despite the loss of a few key players, she remains optimistic.

"The people we lost will affect us initially, but the people we have will end up being stronger than the players we lost,'' she said.

A strong performance at the alumni match last Saturday gave Johnson added confidence in the team. The Roadrunners dropped a dose match to an alumni team comprised of 12 members from the 1977-86 teams, 12-15, 15-6, 15-7, 9-15, 9-15.

In pre-season, the team has shown strength in the setting position but face the regular schedule weak at the middle blocking position, Johnson said.

"We're experimenting with players and positions," said assistant coach Jerrie McGahan. "It's pretty scary without a mid­dle blocker."

McGahan said this year's team is the most versatile she's coached, which could be both an asset and a weakness.

"It's going to depend upon how they gel," McGahan sai~, "and how they come

together as a unit."

But she and Johnson agree that this year's team is unmistakably better than last.

"We're already doing things in practice that we didn't even attempt last year," Johnson said.

The schedule features strong teams and tournaments almost every weekend.John­son said Northern Colorado and Alaska­Anchorage will be the toughest teams in the eight-team conference.

She added , "There has always been a rivalry with Regis, and they always have a strong team."

The Roadrunners' first tournament is Friday and Saturday in Boulder at the University of Colorado. Since five-game matches won't be played, Johnson said the tournament won't affect the season record.

The season opener is Sept. 12 in Grand Junction when the team faces Eastern New Mexico and then Mesa.

A tournament in Minnesota Sept. 18-19 wilJ match Metro State against North Dakota and Nebraska-Omaha, both ranked in the National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ciation Division II top five .

"We'll certainly go up there and tum some heads," Johnson said.

The home opener is Oct. 7 against Colorado Mines. First serve is 7:30 p.m. D

Volleyball coach ready for final season at helm Pat Johnson, Metropolitan State' s

women'.s volleyball head coach, is facing her 12th and final season with the Road­runners this year.

Johnson, who has been a faculty member for 20 years, has a career record of 291-160.

"Basically the college is interested in keeping the athletics and physical education responsibilities separate," she said. "It was not possible to continue coaching without taking a reduction in salary, losing tenure and being required to coach a second sport."

She said she hasn't changed her approach to the season.

"I don't view this differently from any other season. It would be nice to finish with a successful season."

Johnson's replacement will be coaching both women's volleyball and softball.

'Tm definitely available to turn over files, records and resources," Johnson said.

She will continue teaching in the physical education department on a full-time basis.

Metro shut out in season opener l:

Karl Braun Reporter

Colorado College defeated the Metro State women's soccer team 2-0 in an aggressive game Tuesday.

• "We played with heart," Coach Ed Montojo said of the Roadrunners' season opener ... There were opportunities in the first half we just couldn't capitalize on."

In the first half, Metro outshot CC 9-6 with Cindy Weishapl and Jami Cobb shooting from outside.

Colorado College scored its first goal seven minutes into the first half when Metro full­back Kelly Winkleblack slide tackled CC's Michelle Separovich in the penalty box and took her down.

.. I went down and she pushed the ball out in front," Winkleblack said. "It was in the box and she fell over."

Separovich scored on the penalty kick. CC held Metro scoreless throughout the game.

The Tigers' second goal came with 7:23 left in the game when Ann Cernicek scored

from a few yards out. CC scored the second goal with both

Holly Hoskins and Bobbi Geist injured. "We had two key defensive players out.

Maybe they wouldn't have scored the second one,'' Montojo said. "You never know."

Hoskins went down with 11 minutes left in the game when she tore cartilage in her left knee. "It's not bad," Hoskins said.

.. Metro came out with fire in their eyes," CC coach Dang Pibuluech said. 'This won't hurt them." D

Karl Braun Reporter

Coach Ed Montojo hopes two top recruits and a solid core of eight returning sopho­mores will push the Metro State women's soccer team into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I top 20 this season.

Montojo has added a top transfer goalie, an All-American sophomore and an all­state freshman to a young team that finished 9-4 last year and was ranked 23rd in its first· season of NCAA play.

Metro moved up from National Associa­tion of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) competition after the 1985 season.

"We've come a long way since my first year here, three years ago," he said.

Graduation didn't hurt the Roadrunners, with only starting fullback Claire Howe

and goalie Dani Denight not returning. Denight started all four years.

Montojo said he is putting a lot of faith in junior goalie Jan Holland, a transfer from the University of Massachusetts. Holland suffered only one loss in 17 starts while Massachusetts spent the entire 1986 season ranked first in NCAA Division I.

"Jan should be able to take over for Dani," he said. ..I don't think we lost a whole lot."

A large part of this year's offensive strength will come from Tonja Ridgeway, a sophomore who sat out last year with personal problems. Ridgeway was leading scorer at Metro in 1985 with 17 goals and nine assists and was named NAIA All-American.

Jami Cobb, last season's leading scorer, will return to team with Ridgeway and

senior Amy Shute. Cobb finished with 10 goals and one assist to lead the Roadrunners with 21 points.

Montojo said he also expects freshman Jodi Lucero to be an impact player. At Northglenn High School, Lucero was all­state and all-league for three years and was invited to play on the seli:ict Youth Western Regional team this past summer.

"Jodi will give added scoring upfront and complement Tonja and Cindi (Weishapl),'' he said. _

The defense should also be strong with seniors Holly Hoskins and Marina Velas­quez, junior Kelly Winkleblack and sopho­more Bobbi Geist, all returning from last year in top form, Montojo said.

The midfield will be dominated by sophomores Cobb, Leslie Zimmerman and Tracy Weihl, he added.

The team is young, but many of the younger players have national level ex­perience.

'The talent level has increased," Montojo said. "We are attracting some of the best youth players from Colorado."

Of the 23 players on the roster, only three are from outside Colorado: Weihl from Campbell, Calif., freshman Angie Brooks from Oklahoma City and Monica Wenston from Sweden.

"This season will be the most challenging Metro ever had," he said.

·The Roadrunners will play seven teams ranked in last year's top 20 and.have an exhibition game sc~eduled for Sept.9 against the Olympic Developmental team from Ireland.
