An outbreak of Shigella, an infectious disease characterized by flu-type symp­toms, swept through the Auraria Child

• Care Center last week, with a reported 18 confirmed cases thus far.

The outbreak was discovered when a teacher at the center became ill with a high fever and went to the hospital Sept 23.

According to John Pape, a di~ease control l-. representative at the Colorado Department

of Health, the symptoms of the disease include fever, headache, diarrhea, cramps and vomiting and usually last four to seven days.

"Shigella is a highly contagious disease and is spread quickly and easily, especially when small children are involved," he said.

Pape said Shigella is not a serious disease, but it must be treated with antibiotics.

"The symptoms of the disease may go away, but a person can remain infectious for two weeks if they are not treated," he

.t said. Antibiotics must be taken for 72 hours

before a person is no longer considered contagious.

According to Donna Chitwood, director of the Auraria Child Care Center, the center has set up a program, with the help

~ of the health department, to try to keep the disease from spreading.

The program involves screening parents and children upon arrival at the center. If they show signs of illness, they are not allowed to return to the center until they

• have been on medication for three days. Other steps are: separating children who have had Shigella but are on medication from children who show no signs of the disease into different rooms; disinfecting tables, toys and rooms at the child care center daily; and increasing hand washing.

' According to Pape, the best prevention of the disease is careful and frequent handwashing.

Along with taking preventive measures at the center, the health department is urging parents to stay home with their

JI children rather than take them to another facility and risk spreading the disease further.

"The Tri-County Health Department called me to make sure I wouldn't take my children to another child care center and to

find out if my children had been in other large groups of children recently," one mother said.

"It's not a problem for me to stay home with my children. I just go to school, but for some parents, they have no choice," she said.

Chitwood said one of their bigg~con­cerns is to keep the center open so parents won't take their children to other child care facilities.

------NEWS-----­'ACES accused of office-snatching

Shirley Roberts ....fleporter

Prospector (CCD) newspaper editor Daniel Lobnitz has accused the Auraria Cable Entertainment for Students (ACES) of attempting to exert political clout to snatch office space from the Prospector.

-• Lobnitz leveled the allegation in his newspaper's Sept. 28, 1987 issue.

In the front pag~ story, Lobnitz charged that ACES, "flexing its political muscle ... will strip the Community College of Denver of its only student-run newspaper" if ACES ~mcceeds in getting the Prospector's office

space. The Prospector is currently located in

room 351B of the Student Center, across the hall from ACES, in room 351A.

ACES general manager Owen Beaver ha$ denied the allegation, saying that ACES

> has no political pulJ. Beaver also said he has never i;ubmitted to the Student Facilities Policy Council written requests for the newspaper's office. The SFPC allocates Stiident Center office space.

Beaver said that he has submitted writ-

ten requests for additional office space but cannot recall if he has ever made an oral request for the Prospector's office.

Beaver, after having first said, "I went over there joking and said I was going to take over his space,'' then qualified his comment.

"I could have maybe said that, maybe. \\Ibo knows," he said.

He also said that if he did make the oral statement, it does not matter because SFPC assigns office space based solely on written requests - which are first reviewed by the Student Advisory Council for the Auraria Board (SACAB).

Dan Becker. actin~ chairman of SA CAB, confirmed that Beaver lias made no written requests for the Prospector's office space. However, Becker did say that Beaver's latest written request for additional space does make one reference to the Prospec­tor's office.

Beaver said the reference is a typogra­phical error.

SFPC/ SACAB secretary Judy Caston­guay, who typed the request, confirmed the error.

·Rio Grande derails ~free stl!Gent parking

Rio Grande Railroad officials have asked Denver to ticket cars parked in the 1100 block of Wynkoop beginningOct. l, accord­

t ing to Darryl Delimont, supervisor in charge of parking meter maids and ticket control for the City and County of Denver.

"Rio Grande owns the land from I-~ to Speer Boulevard and Wazee to Platte River," Delimont said. "They don't want anyone parking on the tracks when they

t need to back in trains because it would cause undue delay to have the cars towed, which they would do.

"The tracks may not look like they are live (in use) but they can be used. Rio Grande officials are concerned about the

~ safety factor involved." Between Oct. 1 and 2 more than 2.50

tickets were issued to cars for parking within 50 feet of railroad tracks, Delimont said.

Rio Grande officials met with the City and County of Denver Oct. 7 to determine

• high priority areas and to post signs, said Terry Hudson, assistant to the director of Claims in Special Services at Rio Grande Railroad.

"All of the land is private property and the cars are currently trespassing," Hudson said.

According to Beaver, outgoing Prospec­tor sponsor Patty Rebne, who submitted her resignation early last month, knows that ACES has never maqe written requests at any SFPC meeting for the Prospector office space.

"She has sat at every Student Facilities Policy Council meeting and she sat in on the Student Advisory Council for the Aura­ria Board meeting with me on Monday," Beaver said. "She sat right next to me, took notes of her own accord."

Rebne said that she has sat in on these meetings and knows that Beaver has never requested, in writing, the Prospector's office space.

Rebne said that had she better moni­tored the content of the Prospector's, she would have caught the error before the paper was published.

Lobnitz said that although he has not been informed of any disciplinary mea­sures against him for printing the story, Rebne has advised him that he has the option to pull the paper from the news­stands.

'Tm going to pull this issue," Lobnitz

said . 'Tm doing it out of an act of good taste to ACES. I realize that I upset ACES' staff. The whole idea is to blast this open; to get them on the blind side."

Lobnitz cited two other reasons for his decision to pull the paper. Lobnitz said he erroneously referred to AHEC three times in the story and should not have put the story on the front page. ·

According to Lobnitz, the rest of the story is correct.

During a telephone interview, Lobnitz said that he has documented proof ·to sup­port every statement in the story, the exception being the AHEC errors.

"The paperwork will be available for anyone who wants to look at it during regu­lar Prospector's office hours."

Lobnitz reneged the offer when a Met­ropolitan reporter went to review the paperwork during the Prospector's office hours.

''They're in bits and pieces," Lobnitz said. "I don't want to give them to you like that." D

Shaded areas are private property of the Rio Grande Railroad. Any cars parking in these areas north of Wazee will be ticketed and towed beginning Oct. 1. Any cars parked on railroad tracks will be towed, according to the City and County of Denver.

Student scholastic abilities assessed Mlryam Wiiey Reporter

Whether or not writing is your thing in college, if you stick around MSC another year or two, you can expect to write a lot more.

Writing is the most important skill being considered in the on-going studies of a learning assessment plan which measures how much students have learned from the time they enter college until the time they leave.

"There's a certain basic (writing) skill that every college graduate should have," said Frieda Holley, MSC director of pro­gram evaluation and professor of mathe­matical sciences.

Holley is one of many MSC teachers and administrators involved in the assessment of learning plan, which comes as a response to House Bill 1187, passed in 1985.

"Every college in this state has to show assessment in some way," Holley said.

Article 13 of that law, known as the Higher Education Accountability Act, states

that "institutions be held accountable for demonstrable improvements in students' knowledge, capacities, and skills between entrance and graduation."

"In essence, what they want us to do is to show that there were some good acc9m­plishments by students," Holley said ..

Assessment can take many forms, Holley explained. Testing the students when they enter the college arid again when they leave is one of the possibilities.

Another possibility to demonstrate assessment is through surveys, Holley said.

A survey of the graduates' employers can ask if graduates are performing up to expectations. Are they able to write? Are they able to think critically?

Surveying students five years after graduation can be a good way to assess their education, beneficial courses and pre­ferred courses, she said.

Or students in their senior year will take a special course where they try to pull together all of what they learned in their discipline and their general studies, Holley said. ·

Come and see the other side o·f. · B NCO

"They might be asked to write a paper or make a presentation," she added.

Although this is to b e integrated with requirements for graduation, Holley said that the assessment plan is not intended to put pressure on students.

"We're probably, not at this point, going to say 'you have to show improvement,' " she said. "What we need to do is to see if on the average, a group of students shows improvement."

"The assessment program may cost as much as $60,000; however, no additional funds have been given to MSC to do so," Holley said. "All we're doing is rearranging money.

"It's almost a 'show-us-you're-doing­something-before-we-fund-you' attitude,"· she said. "In some states that is exactly how they work it. They say, when you show us you're doing a good job, we'll give you the money."

;.

Holley said that assessment through the Academic Profile Test was applied for the first time last year.

Holley stressed that although much has been discussed and considered, the politics .. for the assessment plan have not yet been

"So far it shows that we are about average with everybody else in the nation," she said.

decided. The state law deadline for the assessment

program is 1990, but MSC is not going to wait much longer to start. These tests will cost MSC $6.50 per

student, Holley said. And that's only a small part of the

funding needed for the general assessment plan, she added.

"We hope to see some of the assessment measures in place by next spring," Holley~ said. D

Denver will be among 170. worldwide Sites chosen for the Second Annual One Sky, One World Kitefly for Peace. The kite-flying festivities will lift off at l p.m. in front of the St. Francis Center and St. Eli­zabeth Church at Speer Boulevard and Arapahoe Street on the Auraria campus.

Spokesperson Larry Ambrose said that kites were chosen to symbolize the festival because of their association with peace.

"When you fly a kite there is something meditative about it, a feeling of peace. It puts a smile on your face," Ambrose said.

The festival is not a protest but a positive statement about the absolute need to realize that self-destruction of the human race is very real, according to Ambrose.

About 40,000 spectators are expected to converge on the worldwide sites to wit . ness this simple gesture of unity.

The event, which will have 25 - 100 par­ticipants, will take place regardless of wea­ther conditions, local organizer elson Bock said.

"Although people get together in organ­ized festivals, people everywhere are urged to launch their kites in personal expression Qf their desire for a peaceful future," said Michael Staltzer, European coordinator in Berlin, West Germany.

Lunch time series on career changes Elvira Ramos Reporter

Feeling low? Cot those .. Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning and go to work" blues? Maybe Metro on the Mall's Career Change workshops can help you find some answers.

The six-part lunchtime series on mid-life . career changes focuses on your job strengths, the change process, the job market, the financial implications, and examples of those who have successfully changed careers.

In the first of these sessions, held Wed­nesday, Oct. 7, Jerry and Jean Downing presented an introduction to the series by addressing the change process: why make a change, what factors should be consi­dered in making a change and how to decide what career to focus on. The hus­band and wife team are consultants on self-responsiblity.

Those attending the workshop ran the gamut from a Navy man to professional women in tattered tennis shoes, all of them nodding and anxiously scribbling notes .

'This society permits quitting good jobs to pursue entirely different directions to give yourself personal satisfaction," said Jean Downing, a former university profes­sor and nurse.

'The mid-life career change can be con­sidered a time of creative challenge for you," she said.

She listed many reasons for wanting a

career l'hange, including personal satisfac­tion, finances, marketplace changes and the influences of aging in a particular occupation.

Everyone is looking for the perfect job, she said. " In the perfect job, three feelings must occur simultaneously: you must feel competent, you must enjoy your work and your moral values must coincide with your work."

The wrong job can provoke stresses which can increase the demands on your body and shorten your life span. Symp­toms of job stress can include headaches, backaches, colds, flu and appetite changes.

Jerry Downing, a consulting psycholo­gist in private practice and former director of admissions at MSC, said many people approaching a certain age feel they are too old to make a change.

"But," Dr. Downing asked, "how old will you be in five years if you don't decide to make the switch?"

Most of us, he said, have a restricted view of what we can do in life. Most of our lives are lived in terms of can'ts.

"I've often thought we need a good kick in the seat of our can'ts," he said. "It is learned attitudes that can keep us from exploring profitable careers."

People want guarantees that the decision they make will b e right. But there are no guarantees, you never have 100 percent of the data. Any d ecision to make a career change is not the last word on the issue. Downing calls this the "philosophy of non-

Dr. Downing knows what he's talking about. A former Navy officer, Downing made several career changes before set­tling on his present one.

"A hove all," he emphasized, "Don't look at the end result. Look at the life process and pathway that will take you there. It should be enjoyable, challenging and fulfil­ling. Just remember to make the process good. Plan to make the process a valuable experience."

----OP-ED Help fight Denver's brown cloud

.. .

The time has come once again to put away those car keys, fill your pocket with change and go to your nearest Regional Transportation District bus stop.

It's also time to put a little less wood in the fire­place and wrap an extra afghan or two around your­self when the winter temperatures threaten frostbite.

That's right, the time has come for citizens of Denver to take up the fight against the brown cloud, also known as the Better Air Campaign.

Included in that generalization of citizens are the people who travel to Auraria every day to attend classes. Yeah, that means all the faculty and staff and even, gasp, the students.

When was the last time you drove to Auraria and actually smiled after you finished parking your car? Was it yesterday when the closest lot was five blocks away and you didn't have the four quarters for park­ing? Or the day before when you parked at the street

Letters

meters and had to run out every two hours to put in more change?

It seems that the people who whine all the time about how disgusting the brown cloud looks from afar are the same people who drive to Auraria every day to complain -to anyone they think will listen -about what a hassle it is to park near campus.

The people who are trying to clean up Denver's air are not asking us to become RTD groupies. Nor are they asking us to freeze in the wintertime. They simply want us to leave our cars home at least one day every week.

So how about it? Let's all make the sacrifice. Ride THE RIDE at least once a week. It's a great way to study without having to keep your eyes on the road.

If you look close enough, there's i;irobably a bus that runs near your home. I guarantee that a walk in

any direction for a few blocks will lead you to a bus stop. The ride may take a transfer or two and a precious hour and a half out of your day, but the sacrifice is worth it. Then you can complain on the other days.

It's also cheap. Fifty to seventy five cents one way and the driver will take care of the parking for you.

Then you don't have to worry about the idiot driver who just cut you off on 1-25 or why the traffic is moving so slowly down Speer. Or why Lot Dis full by nine o'clock.

So go ahead, bury yourself in a book and let the driver worry. That's his job.

Just think about the good you'll be doing for the pollution situation. And I'll see you at the bus stop some day.

Student blasts Tivoli management To the Editor:

So, the Tivoli management has struck again. Not only does this latest decision reflect the poor attitude ofTivo!i managementtoward students, butthere are also deeper issues involved.

I, too, have personally experienced the Tivoli's distaste fOr students who dare to park on their property, on what used to be Auraria property. They made it clear that they have little concern for student opinion, neighborly relations, or human needs.

The price I paid was the cost and inconvenience of having my motorcycle towed. Despite the fact that I had been parking in the same spot for several months, I found the cycle mysteriously gone after school that day. Inquiring within, I discovered WHERE it had gone - but not WHY. And after discussing the issue with the tow-ers, several friends, and a lawyer, nobody has yet been able to discover any satisfactory reasoning behind this act; in fact, it has received unanimous condemnation.

I later tried to contact Mr. Willey by letter. re­questing an explanation and/or compensation for this irrational behavior. I advised him of the possible

negative consequences resulting from publicity con­cerning this irrational behavior. But, in his self­justified attitude, he lacked the courtesy to respond.

A simple note left on the bike, or just a word from his otherwise silent and idle ~ecurity or valet staff would have sufficed to remedy any possible prob­lems, of which none were either apparent or sug­gested. I could have found another place to park in his lot, but thought I was being considerate in leaving one more space available for a customer's car. Some business people appreciate such con­sideration by motorcycle riders, but not him. Nor did I receive any consideration from him.

The larger issue involved h!':!re concerns the Tivoli 's grabbing of Auraria's parking space as but one more example of growth of big business at the incon­sideration, expense, and/or inconvenience to others. Nobody gains anything or gets ahead in a capitalist society without somebody else losing something. So keep this in mind the next time somebody speaks to you of economic growth; ask yourself if we will really be ahead of where we are now before this "growth" occurs - and if we grow here, what will we

lose elsewhere. Yes, business does provide jobs (if service positions can be considered real work); and yes, the times are hard; but these cannot forever be used as justifications for the costs incurred by business' actions. The impression I have received of Tivoli management from these actions is one of careless insensitivity to the needs and desires of his neighbors, as well as lack of common sense or judgment. Unfortunately, this seems to be a growing characteristic of big business and the present conservative trend toward unrestricted growth. But it is also one that I can expect to be short-lived as society re-learns the costs of uncontrolled business activity and growth.

As for Mr. Willey, perhaps I have exaggerated the case against him; but if so, it's largely his own fault, for staying hiddeQ in his blue-and-ivory tower. And I thank him for giving me the opportunity with which to demonstrate an important issue.

Metro on the Mall provides escape Shelly Barr Reporter

If you're interested in seeing some of the art that's hanging around in Denver, sing­ing on Fridays, or just generally broaden­ing your horizons, try brown-bagging a few of your noon hours with Metro on the Mall.

MSC's year-old resource center on the 16th Street Mall is offering a barrage of interesting ways to spend lunch hours to students and downtowners alike.

"Why Metro on the Mall, why do some­thing like that?" several people asked Andrew Breckel, vice president of Off-Campu5 Programs. ·

Although the novelty of the concept raises a few of the more conservative brows, Brekel said he encountered little opposition when he came up with the idea for Metro on the Mall.

"But, that's because, by and large, it was something that has never been tried before," he said.

But, Breckel said, in spite of a few reluc­tant initial reactions, people generally dis­played a natural support for the center.

"We talked to a lot of people and asked 'What would you think about this?'"

And the response was good, he said. Breckel said among those asked were

-chief executive officers of business, mem· (hers of the Denver Partnership, which manages the 16th Stroot Mall, and people in 1the community.

"'lt's [Metro on the Mall] just.got a nice !feeling to it and people just generally appreciated it," he said.

"I believe we are doing what we should be doing - that is continually providing an educational opportunity for those people," he said. "And it can't help but benefit the college."

Starting in mid-October, the Metro cen­ter and The Kyle Belding Gallery, 17th and Arapahoe.streets. will kick off a five-week

lunchtime lecture and tour series on "Art in the Urban Environment."

The series begins with "A Century of Denver Skyscrapers," a critical and histori­cal view of Denver architecture, by MSC art history instructor Jack Kunin. The series will be held on Thursdays at noon begin­ning Oct. 15 through Nov. 19.

The following week, Oct. 22, interna­tionally acclaimed art critic and sculptor David Middlebrook will highlight some of the artistic logistics of "The Artist in All of Us: Planning the City of the Future," from such humble beginnings as street planning and traffic signs to some of the more ambi­tious designs - parks and office buildings.

But it doesn't end there. Art in the workplace and the how-to's on

starting a corporate-art collection on a small budget will be discussed Nov. 5 and for the series· grand finale, participants will get a peek at two downtown-Denver art collections on Nov. 12 and 19.

All lect~res will be held at the Belding Gallery, 111017th St., in the Westin Hotel. The gallery Will also be the meeting place for the tours. The cost is $4 ($3 for Metro students) per:lect.ur~ or tour, or $20 ($15 for MSC students} tor the series. ~utif al-t;isn'tyour lunchtime bag, maybe

How do you kiss a blind girl'?

Author explains

James A. Tabor Reporter

Sally Wagner, 43, author of How Do You Kiss a Blind Girl?, kicked off Han­dicap Awa~encss Week with an autograph session at the Auraria Book Store Oct. 6.

The blind author's left index finger com­fortably and confidently guided the black felt pen over her book's blank pages as she wrote a personal thanks to her fans.

Her book title was taken directly from her experience with childhood diabetes retinopathy - a progressive blindness.

'That title was a direct quqte from a man I dated for a while," Wa~er said. "He told me one night 'I would really like to have a meaningful relationship with you. But how do you kiss a blind girl?' "

Her book is a collection of insightful and sensitive personal and professional life experiences about learning to cope with blindness. Wagner attempts to cross the uncomfortable void that exists between able-bqdied al)d disabled' people. She belie_,V.~ that pity and r~pkt are both muttia@ exclusive. ·

"Instead of pity on one hand and resent· men~ on the other," Wagner explained, "the able-bodied and.disabled worlds need

"Myfirstreaction, no · u1arly use-ful but, a t the moment, a ngly logical and safe solution, was to:bide my head under the covers," Wagner wrote. "Hiding there, while I tried to quell the whirling tunnoil in my head. I'd realized, that des­pite the battles I had won, t:hewar was lost, but , heaven, it was ~J.$Q . ov~r."

Like many disabled people, Wagner found herself not only disabled but unsure of what to do with the rest of her life.

"So there I was,"Wagnersaid. "I couldn't drive to work, and even if I got there I couldn't read. I numbly watched my jour­nalistic dreams drift off and disappear into a miasma of my world - it too relentlessly slipping into invisibility."

Wagner attempted to adjust to blindness in the traditional ways with braille, a walk­ing cane and talking tapes.

"My final abilities in these skills weren't exactly breath-taking. The lousy thing about adjusting is you never know when to stop," Wagner said. "However, inadvertently my stint at the skills center for the blind prompted my electronic awakening."

The electronic age has aided Wagner in her effort to once more become a reporter. The Colorado Department of Rehabilita­tion for the Blind and Visually Impaired provided her with a Sony tape recorder as part of its commitment to her rehabilita~on.

A great price for civilization Shirley Roberts Reporter

They want to be like us. They want the things we have, the life

we lead, the wealth we have. They want the good life - a life of ease, plenty and pleasure. And they, like us, are eager and willing to pay any price to get what they want.

The impoverished, desperate people in economically depressed countries the world over want the luxurious existence we in the United States take for granted. To gain this luxury, these desperate ones gladly destroy their forests to satisfy the western lust for wood, they burden their grazing lands to the brink of extinction that we might save five cents on a hamburger, and they farm non-arable lands into deserts to provide exotic foods to satisfy U.S. appetites. All this they do to sate our gluttony in the effort to gain the same things for themselves.

Meanwhile, we wallow in comfortable affluence screaming "conservation" at the carnage of their resources.

We in the progressive civilizations (?) look in horror upon the rampant destruc­tion of the planet and pass judgement upon those who hear only survival in the chunk of axes on wood, the bleating of livestock in the pasture, and the bite of the hoe in arid soil.

But who are we !9 condemn them? Have we learned from our own mistakes? Have we corrected our own follies?

To some extent a small, growing group called environmentalists, 'conservationists, green bigots and tree buggers have spurred some change and tried to open the eyes of those who choose blind ignorance over an eyes-wide-open reality. But, for the most part, we the affluent have chosen to rail at the disadvanted for their sins while we label our own transgressions as economic development.

If we are the example that others follow, then we must b e an example worthy of emulation. We - you and I - can do something about the carnage of the world. As an individual, neither you nor I can change the whole world, but we can influ­ence the small little world in which we live.

Would it be so hard to take a little less and give a little more? Would it be such a

hardship to change a few consumer habits if it helps to save an entire planet? Can we • spend a few dollars of precious profit to halt the poisoning of the air and water so that all might see blue sky, breathe deeply of pure air and drink sweet, clean water?

But we are helping these countries to develop, to modernize, to civilize, cry those opposed to any restriction on their "right" of destruction. We are helping them to become like us.

Do we really want that? Look around and see what we have

become and what we have done to our own precious lands. Our public forests fall to • the saw, leaving hillsides and mountains bare to the forces of erosion and wind. Our oceans are fished almost to exhaustion. Oil spills and chemicals dumped into our water­ways kill fish and aquatic life in alarming numbers. Our city skies are a pastel haze of deadly toxins. Our farmlands produce record yields through artifical pesticides that destroy generations of wildlife and birds. Our mountains have become resort slums congested with expensive high-rise tenements.

This is part of our civilization, too. And this is the legacy we give to the

underprivileged nations of the world? When they look to us, they see only the

glitter of our success - not the dross of our failures underneath the glittering facade. We are the hope for their tomorrow?

For their sakes and our own, let us all grow up and do what we can - no matter how little or how much that may be - that they, like us, will have a world in which to seek a brighter tomorrow. D

Koozy's Piece: Great slice-of-life theatre

~~ :~:~~~-Royden Marsh Reporter

Koozy's Piece, written by Frank X. Hogan, is performed at The Denver Center Theatre, 13th and Curtis streets, through Uctober :Jl. lt stars Melinda Deane Ann Guilbert, Guy Raymond, Jim Baker, iames Newcomb. Produced by The Denver Cen­ter Theatre Company, Directed by Randal Myler.

Great theatre, especially slice-of-life theatre, has the ability to touch on many issues at once. Koozy's Piece, a new play by local playwright Frank X. Hogan, strikes many chords, and most of them are good.

This is a slice-of-life play; it makes you laugh and it makes you cry. But, unfortu­nately, it has some problems.

The set is a wonderful and exacting recreation of an old north Denver back­yard. It is complete with weeds, a tele­phone pole with a transformer, and an old garage door. It gives a warm lived-in feeling.

The screams and yells of people on the rides at Elitch amusement park waft in and out during the show.This could be a little disconcerting to some people.

The play revolves around the relation­ships between a father, daughter and dying

grandmother. The daughter, Koozy, played by Melinda Deane, is named after Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics. Koozy is a 15-year-old member of a perfor­mance-art group called .. Fresh Virgins."

She has all the traits of a typical 15-year­old and gets on your nerves after just a few minutes.

For example, at the start of the show, Koozy is talking to a friend on the tele­phone and recites a poem about a girl hav­ing all her pubic hair pulled out.

The biggest problem with Koozy is that she is played by an actress who is obviously in her mid- to late twenties. At times, she almost pulls it off. But for the most part, Deane doesn't quite find the complexity of a 15-year~old trying to find a means of self-expression.

Jim Baker plays the father, Tom, a radio sports talk show host, whose job is being taken over by a woman who analyzes home runs in terms of gestalt therapy. Compound that with the frustration con­cerning his dying mother and it's no wonder Tom has a hard time communicating with Koozy. Baker plays this role with a won­derful sensitivity that allows you to empa­thize with any father who may appear to be an old codger on the surface.

Located at the Tivoli Mall

Ann Guilbert (left) and Melinda Deane in a scene from Koozy's Pie~e. The most endearing character in this

show is.the eccentric grandmother, played by Ann Guilbert. Having lost her hair from chemotherapy, she appears in a succession of increasingly weird wigs from Wool­worth's. Another good character is the neighbor, Krausbe, played by Guy Raymond. Krausbe immortalizes the phrase, "Well, frost my left ball."

Director Randal Myler does a great job of staging this show in the round. You're never left looking at the back of an actor too long. However, another of the show's problems is the dream sequence that doesn't seem to add much to the show. Myler has created a wonderful ensemble with this

cast that overshadows the obvious faults and in the end leaves you feeling great.

Koozy's Piece will be showing through Oct. 31. Stude'nt discount tickets are avail­able for half price at the ticket booth on the main floor of the student center and at the theatre.

-------SPORTS Men's soccer team loses in war zone

Karl Braun Reporter

The MSC athletic fields became a war zone Saturday afternoon when the men's soccer team lost 2-1 to Regis College.

The Roadrunners came to the battlefield with a 3-1 win over Regis Sept. 9.

This time they left wounded. In the midst of blatant fouls and aggres­

sive tactics, MSC faced a chaJlenge from Regis.

"We are exi>ecting a war," coach Bill Chambers sai_d last week.

That is what they got. Seventeen minutes into the game, Regis'

Santiago Vigil outran three MSC defenders

j

before shooting on goal from 10 yards out. Roadrunner goalie Doug Lazecki dove for the ball but it was out of reach.

Two minutes later, Ranger forward Brian Velasquez clotheslined Roadrunner David Biondi outside the penalty box. No foul was called on the play even after Chambers entered the field to argue with the referee.

With 14 minutes left in the first half, MSC tied the game when D.J. Ruder scored on a· short pass from Joe Okoh.

The Rangers scored the final goal of the day eight minutes later when Tom Brady beat Lazecki and passed to George Beg­naud. MSC's Scott Van Beek failed in an attempt to stop the shot.

Five minutes into the second half,

Yunger's attempt to score on a bicycle kick outside the goalie box failed when Regis goalie Kurt Holzkamp deflected the ball over the goal.

Aggressive playing by both teams drew various fouls.

In the first half, MSC defender Mis' Mrak was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Regis senior Vince Brady was penalized for overly aggressive behavior soon after.

In the second half, MSC freshman Tim Yunger was penalized for overly aggres­sive play.

MSC's Chris Kalman received a penalty card for approaching Holzkamp repeat­edly, and Regis' Mike Napoli and Chris

Kiger also received penaities for fouls dur­ing the game.

"I told the players at half time that they couldn't be too concerned about the refe­reeing," Chambers said.

"It caused me to lose my composure and it shouldn't have."

The Roadrunners' loss did not affect their league standing against Regis.

"They needed to outscore us by two goals in order t~ win in the standings," Chambers said.

"Overall we came away with our number one goal, we won in the league standings," Chamber said.

MSC is tied for first place in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League with the University of Denver and Air Force.

"Things could change after this week­end," Chamber said. "We have one loss in league standings and that is to DU.

"We play (the University of) New Mex­ico on Saturday and DU on Monday. If we win both, things look real good.

"We had a bad streak going but things are looking pretty good. We are in control of our own ~estiny.

'Tm hoping it -will come down to Metro and Air Force in the end."

The team will play the University of New Mexico at 2 p.m. on Oct. 10 at MSC and DU at 3 p.m. on Oct. 16 at the Univer­sity of Denver. D

Team melts Johnson's threat Jean Anderson Reporter

Despite threats to the contrary, MSC women's volleyball coach Pat Johnson did not leave her team in Alaska, floating on an iceberg.

The Roadrunners returned home with a 3-1 record against the University of Alaska­Fairbanks and the University of Alaska­Anchorage, short of the sweep that John­son said last week was needed to secure the team's ride back.

"I was disappointed,'' Johnson said. "We stepped on a few icebergs, but we

didn't leave anybody up there," she added, laughing.

Johnson coached her 299th and 300th career victories against Alaska-Fairbanks.

The Roadrunners opened with a 15-10, 12-15, 15-1and15-6 win Thursday, Oct. 1, and then iced the series with a 15-2, 15-11, 15-1 romp on Friday.

"The first night we did not play all that well. We really are a stronger team than them," Johnson said. "The second night we came out much stronger."

Saturday, MSC won its third match of the weekend, beating UAA 15-2, 15-11, 15-11. But the Roadrunner streak came to an end Sunday as they lost 14-16, 12-15, 8-15.

"I think if we'd have won the first game we'd have been okay. I think fatigue, the trip, and travel caught up with us," Johnson said.

Using a video tape of the first match, Alaska-Anchorage fine-tuned its game plan.

"They were able to really restructure and

align what they needed to do on Sunday, and they stopped us." Johnson said. "Our serving was erratic. We felt we made some critical errors at critical times."

Although MSC is 3-1 in Continental Di­vide Conference play, Johnson said the loss puts increased pressure on the remaining conference games.

"We have to approach all the conference matches as 'must win' at this point," John­son said. "I think we have a definite shot at the conference title. But I think we realized we have to _ be playing at the top of our game to do it."

The Roadrunners play Mesa at home 7:30p.m. Oct. 9in a non-conference match.

"They (non-conference matches) give us a little bit of time off to gear up for confer­ence matches," Johnson said. D

Goalie leads Texas stampede Renee Allen Reporter

A backup goalie and a "tremendous team effort" led the MSC women's soccer team to a pair of shutout victories Oct. 3 and 4 in Texas.

The Roadrunners beat nationally ranked Southern Methodist University 1-0 in dou­ble overtime on Saturday, Oct. 3, and shut down Texas A&M 2-0 on Sunday.

"The key to both wins was Michelle Car­roll, who was playing backup goalie," said coach Ed Montojo.

Carroll replaced starter Jan Holland,

who was injured five minutes into the SM U game.

In the first game, freshman Monica Wen­ston scored against SMU on an assist by junior Kelly Winkleblack six minutes into the second overtime.

"It was a very, very physical, rough game," Montojp said.

"The team gave a great effort. Everyone responded well and it was the kind of game we needed," he said.

Sunday, an exhausted MSC overcame a sluggi~h first half to come back and beat Texas A&M, scoring twice in the second half.

D Do you think about food all the time'

o Do you anticipate being alone so you can eat?

Sophomore Cindi Weishapl scored on a through pass 10 minutes into the second half on an assist by junior Bobbi Geist. Freshman Jodie Lucero scored Metro's other goal on an assist by Monica Wenston eight minutes later.

"That last goal took the wind out of Texas and we took over from there," Mon­tojo said.

"We are starting to play real well. If we continue to play this way we are hoping for a playoff bid," he said.

300 wins Jean Anderson Reporter

To hear coach Pat Johnson talk about the MSC women's volleyball team's easy vic­tory over the University of Alaska-Fair­banks, one might think that she is accus­tomed to winning.

One would be right. Johnson, 12 years at the Roadrunners

helm, coached her 300th career win last Friday night in straight games, 15-2, 15-11, 15-1.

"It was kind of a ho-hummer," Johnson said. "Actually, the one on Saturday against Anchorage was a much harder win." MSC beat Alaska-Anchorage.

"The team and I felt it's kind of a side line," she said. "While the kids did congrat­ulate me and recognize that it was a big step for me, we realize it's the season record that's important."

Johnson's career record is 301-165. D
