Judicial board rules student leader's dismissal appeal "unfounded" -

A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

Metro student government president Stephanie Stevenson must now clean out her desk after losing her appeal against dismissal Monday.

Stevenson was originally fired Nov. I for not maintaining the minimum six credits required to be a member of the Student Governm9t Assembly. The Office of Student Activities discovered that she had not held the full credits during the spring of 1996 when she was elected as student body leader.

The former president appealed to the student government Judicial Board last week, claiming that the board's Chief Justice Mark Zanghetti had misin­terpreted the student government constitution when he gave the official order for her removal.

However, the Judicial Board released a statement Monday concurring with Zanghetti's interpretation that Stevenson had to have the credits at the beginning of her tenure. Stevenson said that she understood the constitution to mean that she could acquire the six credits at the next available opportunity. She did enroll in the fall with the minimum course load.

With a 2-1 decision, the Judicial Board said that Stevenson's appeal of her dismissal was unfounded.

"In accordance with the provisions. outlined in Section 6, a and b, (the clause pertaining to the credit requirement) of the MSCD constitution, we believe the students' interests are best served by representatives who meet the minimum criteria during the entire term in office."

Though a victory for Zanghetti, he said he was saddened by the news of Stevenson's appeal loss.

"I felt sad that my first action as Chief Justice was to write the order to have her removed," he said.

Zanghetti said that he had worked with Stevenson and respected her great­ly and was sorry that he had a hand in firing her.

"The one thing I want to tell Stephanie is that I did what I did because it was the right thing to do, not because of any personal animosity," Zanghelti said, adding that it was not a decision he took lightly.

Still, he said he learned quite a bit from the proceedings and will work to clarify all of the requirements for membership to the student government.

"I will make crystal clear to anyone running for office in the spring that they must do certain things, so the next person (succeeding Zanghetti as Justice) doesn 't have to do what I had to do."

Stevenson refused to comment on the appeal or her removal. Next on the student government agenda is the selection of a new president

from among the remainder of the assembly, which was also depleted Nov. I by the dismissals of Tracey Monteiro and John Olivett as vice presidents.

Pa_rt-time faculty unionizing .

60 professors join Federation of Teachers, Metro plans new chapter .....

Jesse Stephenson The METROPOLITAN

Tenure and salary issues have prompt­ed the number of new members in a national teachers' union to mushroom at Metro.

At least 60 full- and part-time Metro professors have joined the Colorado Federation of Teachers, a branch of the American Federation of Teachers, and union officials say they're planning to cre­ate a local branch of the CFf especially for Metro professors.

Ron Harleman, the director of field services for the CFT, said the number of new members at Metro has increased five-

fold in the past two months.

Harleman said he expects the ranks of new

instructors' jobs. Pence said he wants

at least 25 percent of Metro's 900 professors to join the CFf before a local branch of the union is formed here. Only 10 instructors are needed for a CFf local charter, but Pence said the unionized faculty want their num­ber lo grow before apply-ing.

John Schmidt, a Metro full-time pro­fessor and member of the AFf since he's been a public high-school instructor, said many of his colleagues have recently changed their stance on joining the teach­ers' union because trust in Metro's admin­istration has eroded.

"If we can't trust the administration to be fair, we're going to have someone to make sure it is," Schmidt said. "Five years ago when you mentioned 'union,' it was an ugly word; now tltose people who thought it was an ugly word are saying, 'we think it's time."'

SGA budget in flagrant violation Months overdue, the student government disregard own constitution in filing budget Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The Metro constitution requires the student body president shall' submit a budget and goals to the student government assembly by June 15. This budget does not exist.

But that is about to change, said Vice President of Campus Communications Troy Grice.

"It should be wrapped up in the next week or two," he said.

1996-97 fiscal year is five months overdue, and members of the body can only speculate as to why it is unfinished.

"Keep in mind, the reason this stuff wasn't done is because they were presidential duties and no one else was allowed to handle them," Grice said.

Removed president Stephanie Stevenson never sub­mitted a budget.

"The vice presidents have had to pick up the ball on this, it is way overdue," he said.

Grice said getting a budget for the student govern­ment is a priority with or without Stevenson.

"The vast majority of people on this assembly want things done right," Grice said. The assembly wants to resolve this issue and start working in a more constructive direction he said.

Acting president Joltn Saiz said he does not see a problem with the lack of a budget because adequate safe-

guards are in place to prevent abuse. Grice said he thought otherwise. "It absolutely is a big deal; $44,000 isn't chump

change," he said. "The students have entrusted us with $44,000 of their

money, and they are entitled to know what it is being used for," Grice said.

Five months have elapsed from the date that the con­stitution specified, but the student government still has no guidelines regarding the spending of student funds allo­cated from the Student Affairs Board.

"I don't think (the SAB) should allocate the student government a dime until we have a budget ... even if it is for 50 cents," Grice said.

Grice said that he and the other members of the stu­dent government are just as responsible for the lack of a budget. "I should have been raising Cain about this June

16," he said. However, Saiz said, there are adequate

safeguards to prevent any mismanagement of funds.

For a student government member to spend any money, it must be approved by an assembly vote and by Kari Tutwiler, associate director of student act~vities. 1

"The checks in place don't work," Grice said. He cited the assembly's phone bill as an example of the budget being "nickeled and dimed." Two weeks ago it was discovered that removed president Stevenson had made long-distance phone calls that cost more than $200 in student money.

"The only way to really police (the use of funds) is to have an accounting process in this office," Grice said. He proposed a ledger to document where allocated money is spent.

"I guaranty the ledger will be up and running this week," Grice said.

Ultimately, the assembly is account­able to the students, said Zav Dadabhoy, director of Student Activities.

How can the students hold the student government accountable?

Visit the SGA office in Tivoli room 305 to voice any complaints, he said.

The assembly meets Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. in Tivoli room 318.

Schedule typos turn 'forfeitures' into 'refunds' Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

A misprint in the new spring 1997 course schedule could cause some cash-strapped Metro students to get their hopes up in vain.

A I 00-percent refund is being offered for students who drop cours­es during the fourth week of the semester, according to the refund policy on page 25 of the schedule.

This is a big mistake, said Eugene "Skip" Ackler, interim assistant registrar.

The charts on page 25 of the schedule should read "tuition forfei­ture," not "tuition refund," Ackler · said. In other words, students who drop classes in the fourth week of the semester do not get 100 percent of their tuition back, but they lose 100 percent of their tuition - an important distinction.

To correct the misinformation, the registrar's office has been insert­ing a slip in each copy of the sched-

ule, in addition to printing a correc­tion on each student's registration permit. As a third precaution, stu­dents will hear a message with the correct refund information when they call Metro's telephone registra­tion system to add or drop a course.

"We've tried to cover all our bases so no student will get incor­rect information," Ackler said.

Students should also disregard the date on the health insurance waiver form on page 121 of the schedule. Although it is dated 1996, the form may be used for spring 1997, as long as it is submitted by the Feb. 18, 1997, deadline.

Ackler agreed that, despite all the warnings, some students will still look for a full tuition refund because of the incorrect schedule. Those requests will go through the standard tuition appeals process, he said.

"I suspect the appeals commit­tee will be busier than usual next semester," Ackler said.

The how-to's of a Metro grad at Harvard Deborah Birr The METROPOLITAN

Metro's first alumnus to enter Harvard Law School spoke in The Tivoli Turnhalle on Tuesday. Eduardo Navarro gave students admission tips and general requirements for entry to the presti­gious ivy league school.

Navarro, who graduated from Metro with a major in psychology and a minor in philosophy, could not say enough about the advantages of attending the oldest law school in the nation.

Established in 1817, Harvard boasts the largest law library in the U.S. and the most out­standing professors available, Navarro said. "The greatest asset is the connections you make. I have met presidents, senators and judges," he said.

The main message Navarro conveyed to his audience is that Harvard will look at more than LSAT scores or

The budget to attend law school is $37,000 and includes tuition and living expenses he said. Navarro told students that the Harvard financial aid department has a lot of money to work with. Grants and generous scholarships come from within the school as well as from without, and loans are easily acquired. "They will find the money. It will come. No one has ever been denied financial aid," he said. Financial aid is separate and will not be opened until admissions has passed the application, Navarro said.

In response to a student's question about applying before you receive an undergraduate degree, Navarro said that most people apply in their third year. If admitted and a deferment is needed for one or two years, the majority of cases are approved, he said.

Navarro advised students to prepare for law school by taking high-level English courses and to ask professors for their criticism. One of the

greatest challenges GPA. "They look at the entire picture of who you are. Work or research counts. Work experience will show you are committed to some­thing. Research will show that you know how to write," he said.

Grad. School to face is to write and write well, he said. He also sug­gested philosophy classes. "Courses that prepare you are not criminal justice courses. They are courses that make you think. The objective is to train your mind. The professors will

Navarro said that the most important part of the application is the personal statement. It should include why you want to go to law school but most importantly, it should say something that will make you stand out. It could be an event or accident that had special impact on your life, he said. Navarro's personal statement told the story of his experience applying for political asylum after leaving El Salvador. The official that he dealt with told him to go back to his country and get permission. He said it was the reason he decided to go to law school.

Harvard will accept applications until Dec. l but the earlier you apply the better. Applications are received and placed in five categories from "definitely accept" to "most likely accept" or "decline" to "definitely decline," he said. The applications are passed on to the dean of students to read and then a panel of two to three faculty members will make the final decision, Navarro said.

challenge what you think," he said. In order to prove himself, Navarro said he

attended the graduate school of education and received a master's there first. He said it was a kinder, gentler program where the students were an older average age. The cost is $3,000 less than law school and grants and scholarships are hard­er to get, but loans are never a problem, he said.

Both programs require a letter of recommen­dation and he advised getting someone you really know to write as opposed to someone you feel is important or famous. Only someone you know can write in depth, he said.

"Most students can get in if they take their studies seriously and dream. Harvard will look at what you have to offer. How will you impact the student body?" Navarro said.

Navarro can be reached by e-mail at navar­ro@law.harvard.edu.

Financial aid inquiry surprise to students ASSURANCE from page 4

financial aid views students files to deter­mine which students should be selected Heijl said.

She said that one reason for selecting a student for verification would be if a student had reported an income, but not reported taxes paid on that income. If it is determined that an error could have been made, that file could be selected, she said.

Royder Marsh, financial aid coun­selor, said that the two systems, Quality Assurances Program, and verification, work together to get the most informa­tion. He said that the results of the Quality Assurance Program help to show patterns where errors occur. Once a pat­tern of error is identified, the verification process can be narrowed to focus on problem areas he said.

"The program allows us to be more accurate when selecting [students] for verification," he said. Hejl added that having the most complete information enables students to get the full amount of financial aid available to them.

Being selected for the Quality

Assurance Program can come as a sur­prise to some students, He~l said. But stu­dents are informed that such a possibility exists. An information wrap-around that accompanies the FAFSA states that the information on the application sheet could be verified.

She said students sometimes think that they have done something wrong to be selected for the Quality Assurance Program, but they did not do anything, the sample is random. One student went through the process three times, she said.

She said if students are selected, they must comply. "Because we are a Quality Assurance school, they are required to go through the program or we could hold off their spring aid," she said.

Hejl said that the program did result in one student finding that he was eligible for more student aid.

However, students should be accu­rate in filling out their forms because the information wrap-around with the FAFSA states.

If the information is inaccurate, you may be billed for any aid that you received based on that information.

New union in the works UNION from page 3

time professors' interest in the union is significant, part-time faculty members say it is risky to join the CFr without the pro­tection of tenure.

A part-time Metro professor who asked that he remain anonymous said he has been spreading the word about the CFT to other part-time instructors. The professor said the part time instructors

- want the union to help them get a salary increase and health benefits but many are afraid their contracts will not be renewed if administrators discover they are CFT

members. "They're concerned if they wear it on

their shirt sleeves there will be retribu­tion," the professor said. "It's all done behind smoke and ~irrors."

Metro president Sheila Kaplan said last spring that Metro faculty has plenty of venues for recourse but did not decry the presence of a union at Metro. At the time of her statement, there were five Metro faculty members who were members of the CFT.

"They can join anything they want, it's a free country," she said.

Computers for disabled students Mitsuru Shimizu The METROPOLITAN

"IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU MITSURU. I AM MAJORING IN HUMAN SERVICES," types Mitch McKinney, a Metro student with speech and motor impairments while at an open house, operating a spe­cially programmed computer for those who have a disability.

The Combined Computer Access Center, admin­istrated by Community College of Denver and co­sponsored by Metro and UCD, held the Nov. 14 open house in the Auraria Library room 115, a computer laboratory for students with disabilities at Metro and UCD. CCD has its own lab, Technology building 104, for those at CCD.

The CCAC held the open house for the purpose of letting people on the Auraria Campus and people who want to know about what the lab is all about and what adaptations the lab has for those students, said Doug Meares, a tutor at the lab.

Sixty to 70 people - students with disabilities, faculty, and state employees from the Department of Human Services - visited the open house, said La Verne E. Buchanan-Donelson, coordinator/instructor of the CCAC.

Buchanan-Donelson sent invitations to all students with disabilities, all faculty and administrators at the three schools on the campus and five divisions of vocational rehabilitations under the state department, she said.

Although 60 to 70 people came to the open house, Buchanan-Donelson said, that's a small number out of the people she invited.

She said she would like teachers to become more aware of those students' difficulties, come to the lab and ..

The lab has 12 computers specially designed for peo­ple with disabilities such as hearing, learning, orthopedic and visual disabilities. ·

Lab staff and students with disabilities demonstrated those computers for visitors.

One of the lab staff, Jester Martin, demonstrated Dragon Dictate, a speech recognition program that stu­dents speak into a microphone and the computer writes the spoken words across the screen.

to write, the computer lists on the screen likely words that begin with those letters. By pressing another key referring to the word students can write the word on the screen.

Before the demonstration, asked about the reason McKinney began to learn computer operations, he typed, "TO MAKE IT EASIER TO COMMUNI­CATE WITII OTHERS."

Metro student Will Spence, 20, a participant at the open house who has muscular dystrophy, said the facility is good. Some people might say differently, but it's good, he said.

"I'm not able to move my hands on a keyboard and turn things on and off, stuff like that," Spence said.

When he needs to write papers for classes, he uses the lab's adapted equipment he can talk to and that type texts, he said. He uses a trackball instead of a mouse, he said.

Spence wants to work with computers in the future and with Internet web pages, he said.

Although Spence said the campus facility is good, Buchanan said the CCAC is operating in a small Jab and it needs a larger lab. She'd like to extend the Jab out into the library to offer a larger lab for disabled students, she said.

"Now we have 12 computers; we'd need at least 30 computers," she said.

Currently nearly 985 students with disabilities study on the campus, AHEC's Disabilities Services Office and CCD's Center For Persons With Disabilities estimated.

Out of the total, 285 students study at Metro, 605 study at CCD and 95 study at UCD this semester, the two

Metro student Sandra Howard was elected to sit on the State College Board of Trustees Sept. 13 as a repre­sentative for Metro, Adams, Mesa and Western State College students.

Howard said she is concerned about the specifics in the campus goals and objectives. "We make assumptions about diversity," she said.

COMPUTER from page 7 offices estimated.

The CCD's number includes the num­ber of those at the Technical Education Center East, North and West, off the Auraria Campus, said Jackie King, instructional support services manager at CCD.

However, most of the CCD students · with disabilities study at Auraria Campus, King said. The exact number of those at the CCD education centers wasn' t available.

J:rnrn 10 a.m. to 6 ~.m.

Each college is represented by a student. However, only one student sits on the board. Howard, a senior, is a Sociology major and Woman's Studies minor.

Diversity, she said, is not some­thing to be assumed; the word is vague, which is why she wants specific lan­guage. "Having specific goals ... ensures a more inclusive college com­munity," she said.

The term "disabilities" in the estima­tions include blindness, chronic illness, deafness, orthopedic disability, mental dis­ability, head injury, hearing impaired, learn­ing disability, physical impairment, psycho­logical disability, substance abuse and visu­ally impaired/low vision.

Howard said she will represent stu­dent interests of the four schools on the board. She cannot vote or propose motions but can bring issues to discus­sion and second motions.

She will also serve as a link from the BOT to the Metro student govern­ment assc;:mbly. Howard said she will communicate via e-mail with the other student representatives to ensure their campuses are adequately represented. Although such contact is not suggested, Howard said, "if we want to be effec­tive representatives from our colleges, that is what we should do."

Howard said that one of her rea­sons for wanting tq be on the board was because she wants to teach at the col­lege level.

"I am going to teach college," Howard stated matter-of-factly. She said that she intends on bringing the real world to the classroom, so that stu­dents can be informed adults.

Regarding the CCD number, 605 stu­dents with disabilities, King said more stu­dents with disabilities study at CCD, than Metro and UCD because CCD has more basic math and English classes than the two schools.

"We don't live in a vacuum," she said. "Sometimes academia could bring that view."

Latino music much more than salsa

Dear editor, Regarding the Latino Dance Festival sponsored by A.L.M.A. on

Nov. 19. As advertised, your Latino dance festival did not offer a variety of

Latino music. There's more to Latino music than just salsa and merengue. You overlooked, intentionally or through your collective ignorance, many styles of music. Mariachi music, Peruvian music, norteno music, cumbias and polkas were just a few types of rhythms conspicuously omitted from your so-called Latino Dance Festival. Latino, as we interpret the term, is supposed to be all-inclusive. A.L.M.A., in our humble opinion, did not make a serious effort to include a diverse selection of Latino music. Latino, again, as we inter­pret the term, transcends borders, meaning all people and cultures from the tip of South America to the barrios of Chicago. Hopefully, this letter will serve to teach and enlighten, if just a little, the members of A.L.M~A. so as to avoid further oversight when it comes to celebrating Latino cultures.

OPINION

CoPIRG and kudos Approximately a month ago, I read a disturbing article in The

Metropolitan affecting CoPIRG, an environmental organization. The article stated how our campus is going to charge CoPIRG a $25 tee tor passing out political information. That is ridiculous. Most environmental groups are so poor. This action is unfair to CoPIRG.

Coincidentally, earlier this month, Mario Savio, the 1964 leader of the Free Speech Movement at the University of California at Berkeley died. During the 1960s, the students at Berkeley protested tor our rights to pass out political information. The Berkeley students overcame the struggle against the UC Board of Regents and former Governor Ronald Reagan. A few days after Mario Savio's speech in tront of the police car, the Board of Regents voted to drop university restrictions on speech. This movement for­ever changed campus life in the United State. It is necessary that our cam­pus learn this important lesson from the past. We should be able to promote political activity whenever we want tor free.

Currently, our campus is charging CoPIRG money tor passing out polit­ical information. Sharing knowledge with one another should not cost any money. Also, CoPIRG is an environmental organization concerned with helping people and the planet. They are on our side! I urge Irene Oliver, the assistant director of the Events Center, to change her policy and let CoPIRG participate in political activity free of charge.

Earlier this semester, I discovered that the Education Department at Metro State did not issue teaching certificates tor graduates of the teacher education program. I was shocked and upset because I always assumed that I would receive a Metro State teaching certificate. My feelings were hurt and I wrote a letter to the dean expressing my concerns.

Recently, Dean Robert Mock implemented a policy awarding teaching certificates. His actions truly spoke louder than words. I would like to thank Dean Mock tor making my concern come true. Now, I will have a teaching certificate from Metro State that I can hang up on my wall and be proud of! Thanks again.

Do not choose alienation I have no car. I use the bus. I have no television. I listen to the

radio. I hate the bus. I love the radio. If anyone out there in TV land

believes they have got anything on me, then they are mistaken. For I have my talk radio and I won't give it up. It is a perfect picture of the futility in communication. Who is it we are talk­ing to on talk radio? I am getting ahead of myself, though.

Where was I? I know. I was walking down the

street and you almost ran me over. I hate the bus, so I walk every­

where. I have discovered that I live in a neighborhood, that I have neigh­bors. Like it or not there are other peo­ple in my world. Car drivers, the peo­ple in cars, are quite insistent that other people do not exist. Some even insist that other cars don't exist. Watch out. Since I have become a walker, I have discovered a community and environment that begs for attention. I have actually had meaningful conver­sation since I left my car behind. Pedestrians, these people who are my neighbors, have things to say.

What is it to speak to others? Our conversations .are carried out in the most bizarre fashion for we must have machines to instigate our interaction with others. Machines that people talk to are: computers, telephones, radios, televisions, etc. Conversations with cars border upon the absurd for there is always some human sticking its head out of the window with a stout or puny third finger raised and a waning expletive left with the dissipating fumes and mist of the exhaust. Either that or the completely ignorant driver, radio on, unaware of all that is occur­ring about him. How would Rousseau's meditations have been changed if there had been an avenue

running through the woods of his soli­tude? What would his alienation have become with a car to splash mud upon his coat as he paused to complete a thought.

Car drivers think I am insane. I am.

Insane, knowing that with each step further I take as a pedestrian, I work my way into solitude and out of the world of material concern. I have more to say now and others have less patience to listen. You have, perhaps, read the few who have written in an attempt to silence my words. But, as I am operating quite alone, my words have the tendency to hang about the air we breathe and you must choose to listen to their import or deny their existence. The kindness and comfort that relations with others can bring have become fantasies upon which I dwell and whip into idyllic whims which rest upon my shoulders stale, almost bitter. My conscience is heavy with the realization tl:lat I have a choice to make. Either I will leave the 'world that is alien to passion and slave to objects (machines) behind and poison it with my solitude, or I can accept alienation for the passion it produces and work towards a change in my life that can assimilate the two. I see no other opportunities. The former is a life of

solitude, the latter a life of confusion. I sit in a small apartment listening

to the car drivers and the street walk­ers speak into phones and through the airwaves each night. They speak to no one, to me, through the radio. Their voices are zapped into silence and the weightless air only to be retormed, not their voices any longer, as intense waves of communication for me to hear, want or not.

It takes a lot, I think, to pick up the phone and speak this way - alone, at no one.

This might be the reason that callers on radio talk shows are always frustrated and their voices pitched in such a way as to almost squelch any useful conversation. What we end up listening to is a string of nouns and verbs scattered in such a way as to barely link subject with predicate - a tense composition representing a struggle to progress beyond the state of alienation that we ultimately feel each time we find ourselves in dis­agreement with how things appear. The callers struggle. The listener laughs a nervous laugh. "What are they saying?" In the end the conversa­tion is futile because the host, the con­nection between caller and listener, pushes the button that severs the con­versation just at the moment the caller thinks they are at some meaningful place in the conversation and at the peak of emotion.

At this time: "Denver, you are on the air." Silence. "Am I on?" Feedback. Silence. . "Can you turn your radio down?" Silence. The caller is alone. "Hello, is anyone there?" Silence and silence again.

Making masterpieces from mud~ Creative expression of ceramics shines in 'Altered States' exhibit

Eric Drummondrrhe METROPOLITAN

MUDMOBILE: A ceramic 1936 Woody created by Maynard Tischler, a professor at the University of Denver.

M. St.Germain The METROPOLITAN

C lay, that humble combination of earth and water, has been used as a means of creative expression since earliest times. Typically, clay is associated with func­

tional household items in the form of pottery, not works of art.

A visit to Metro's Center for the Visual Arts will change any presumptions about clay as an art form.

Altered States: Contemporary American Ceramics is an eclectic exhibition that features the work of seven invited clay artists from around the country.

A marked sense of individualism pervades this show. The scope of personal styles and inter­pretations of the medium is impressive, as is the high degree of craftsmanship.

In Altered States, distinctions between fine art and fine craft, sculpture and ceramics, become less defined.

Works range from strict realism, as in Phyllis Klodas' fruit-and-vegetable sculptures, to the con­ceptual abstraction found in Juan Granados'

"It's good to be in the company of these clay

artists." - Rodger Lang Metro professor

intriguing floor installation, "Harvest." Some smaller scale works exemplify delicacy

and precision with clay, while other pieces are sur­prisingly massive for such fragile material.

Jeremy Jemegan's abstract sculpture, "Stone Island," seems to flirt with impending disaster. Stacked over 6 feet high, three large stone-like forms balance on too-narrow cylinders and fragile slabs.

Knowing that the sculpture is steel-reinforced does not detract from the visual tension that makes this piece so successful.

Rodger Lang, faculty member and ceramics instructor at Metro for: 26 years, is one of four local artists to be invited to participate in Altered States .

"I think this show is a very strong show with lots of variety," Lang says, "It's been a while since I've been involved in a locally presented ceramics show. I'm pleased to have been invited."

Lang's works include "Nake #2" and "Nake #3"- two menacing stoneware snakes that coil expectantly, mouths open and ready to strike. These large reptilian shapes, smooth and ominous, reflect Lang's decade-long exploration of triangu­lar forms.

"I wanted forms which can stir a vague mem­ory ... a sense of distant meaning. Still, · quiet forms, but with a feeling of contained energy," Lang expresses in his artist's statement.

All works submitted to the show are the artists' selection.

"These pieces represent a new direction in my work. I feel my work is strong," Lang reflects."It's good to be in the company of these clay artists."

Carl Perkins Go Cat Go! Dinosaur Entertainment

To tell you the truth I am amazed that Carl Perkins is still alive (or was at the time we went to press).

The man is a walking talk­ing rock and roll museum.

He wrote many of The King's (Elvis Presley) most popular songs and almost sin­gle handedly tied country music to rock. A marriage that is still seen today in acts like Rev. Horton Heat and Social Distortion.

Go Cat Go!, while not necessarily a tribute (as noted before, he's still alive, I think), is a collection of Perkins' greats.

Many of his songs are done as duets with the likes of Paul McCartney, Tom Petty,

Johnny Cash, Bono and others. A couple of the more

notable cuts on the album are straight covers of Perkins' songs.

The Ji mi Hendrix Experience is featured doing a feedback laden version of "Blue Suede Shoes" that I'm sure The King would have danced to.

John Lennon also had his shot at "Blue Suede Shoes" and did it justice.

This album is interesting but it doesn't cover any new ground. If you are already a Carl Perkins fan you probably have most of the duets on other albums. If you are not a Carl Perkins fan you probably did­n't read this review ... so I guess there is no reason to address you.

Elysian Fields Bleed Your Cedar Radioactive

Speedball Baby Cinema! MCA

Speedball Baby is not a bad band if only they weren't so darned preten­tious.

Making obscure refer­ences to Celine's Death On The Installment Plan counts as pretension in my book and that doesn't fly in straight-up rock and roll (I will no longer refer to any music as alternative. It's rock and roll. Get used to it.).

Aside from the "we're a pretentious New York 'art band"' angle the band achieves, the music really isn't that bad.

A couple of songs are

groovy enough to survive repeated listenings.

The album's title track, Cinema!, has a driving­across-the-Mexican-desert­in-a-convertible flavor to it. But then it gets blown with silly Jim Morrison type poet­ry laid on top of the dusty guitar sound.

"Suicide Girl," probably the best song on the album, has a cool secret-agent sound to it but once again fails to deliver in the lyrics department.

The band has a loose sound and will probably be better live than in the studio so keep an eye out for Speedball Baby.

- Mike Larkin

This debut album is a tight collection of slow-driving ballads that could be com­pared to some of Sonic Youth's slower and more melodic songs.

Elysian Fields lead singer Jennifer Charles has a haunting syrupy voice that sounds like it was lifted out of some early jazz album. It's heartening to hear her right as I was beginning to think that all of today's women singers were as scream­ingly angst-ridden as Alanis Morisette.

The band sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of a bizarre David Lynch movie.

It is definitely a worthwhile listen but you have to be in the mood for some off­beat music.

- Mike Larkin

'Little Women' a big success Industrial Arts Theatre's produces exemplary rendition of classic Ricardo Baca The METROPOLITAN

S ometimes classics are better left unchanged.

This holds true in the new adaptation of Little Women, cur-

rently being performed at the Denver Civic Theater through Dec. 22. The new adapta­tion, written by Robin Ervin· and Gail Yemington, tampers with the untouchable.

Louisa May Alcott, 1832-88, was an American wr~ter whose children's books are characterized by their intimate depic­tion of family life and loyalties. Who could better interpret the hard, yet fun, times had by the little women better than her, for she had lived them.

The Thoreau-inspired writer wrote Little Women ( 1868-69) as an autobio­graphical novel of her childhood.

The two-act play is separated into dif­ferent chapters, signifying different grow­

. ing periods for the characters, and is told, in part, with the help of a narrator making transitions when needed.

It is set in snowy Pennsylvania during the American Civil War. The March fami­ly .,-- complete with the four daughters; Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - works hard to help out their mom, a.k.a. Marmee. Their father, out fighting in the war, isn't seen throughout this adaptation. But they did not suffer without a man.

"I am the man of the family now that father's away," states Jo, the second youl}gest, tomboyish sister in the first act.

The play is full of the antics and sen­timents of four girls growing up in the seclusion and ultimate enjoyment of their

family - that is, until the neighbor boy, Laurie Laurence, enters their life as a per­manent and much-needed male fixture.

Throughout the second act, the family, including Laurie, has their good times playing make-believe as members of the Pickwick Society and having picnics. However, their bad times outnumber the good as they go through life's extremities with Aunt March's ear-piercing screeches, played by a hilarious Michelle Grimesi, Marmee's (Cindy Compton) traveling to attend to wounded family members; and Beth's (Sarah Flanagan) scarlet fever._

Overall, the acting and directing fit the play in an exemplary manor. Erica

Bryn Brookhart's charming Jo was nearly flawless and so convincing she left the audience thinking §he has always been a big tom-boy and always has sat with her legs spread wide open. Her captivating performance carried the show when it dragged, while at other times she merely helped push it along.

Matthew Laurence's Laurie and Lisa Cordova's Meg had better second acts than they did first acts, and the narrator was consistent throughout the entire play. Also · consistent was the impressive 13-year-old Shayna Mordue, who played the stubborn Amy. Her pompous attitude and constant state of whining was ideal for the

character, and was never forgotten throughout the entire performance.

Of course, Aunt March's irregularities kept people on their toes and proved valu­able for needed laughter at times of dis­tress and sickness.

Yemington, as the director as well as the . co-adapter, worked magic with the players and added superb stage direction, as actors and actresses flowed on and off stage unnoticeable.

The technical aspects were kept sim­. pie, but it worked, and with only minor technical glitches.

The set looked authentically dusty as if it truly were the home of a struggling family. But the walls were picture-and painting-heavy and nearly distracted a viewer from the events in front of them.

This show is a must-see in order to get a taste of community theater at one of its highest forms. This company placed a lot of importance on the details, from over­articulation to costuming closely fitting the era, and the attention shown to detail shows in each of the players' perfor­mances. This is a valuable trait.

'Trek' embarks on a darker voyage Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

S tar Trek movies can be classified into two cate­gories - the bad ones and the pretty good ones.

Amongst the bad are the first one; the fifth one, Final Frontier, in which William Shatner proves his directing is worse than his act­ing and last year's disappointing passing-of-the-torch Star Trek: Generations.

In the pretty good categories we have The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home and the latest install­ment, Star Trek: First Contact.

Star Trek movies have a prob­lem with really good beginnings, really good endings, but slow mid­dles. First Contact, unfortunately, doesn't break this mold.

The crew are out exploring the galaxy when they receive word that the Borg are attacking the Earth.

The Borg are a race of cyborgs

bent on taking eYery race of beings and assimilating them into theirs.

Star Fleet is losing the battle when Picard, in violation of orders (another Star Trek movie staple that has to go) to stay away from the battle, rushes in to save the day.

The Borg give up on the battle they are losing and travel back in time, the Enterprise in pursuit, to attack Earth at a more vulnerable time - April 4, 2063. This is the day when scientist Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell) tested the first ship with warp drive, attracting an alien ship and prompting them to make contact with Earth, thus creating the

Utopian world of Trek. The writers have traded the

passiveness that sometimes dogged the television series for a darker Trek, but without compromising the personalities of the characters.

The Borg in the movie are

more menacing and gruesome. The

movie also introduces the Borg Queen (Alice Krige), the one who keeps order among the Borg collective. Krige's charac­ter uses her sexual charm, abandoning the Next Generation political correctness, to help Data (Brent Spiner) expand his human feelings and convince him to join the Borg, who abandon their own ship and overtake the Enterprise.

The characters are much the same as in the past except for Data and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart). Spiner's android character was given a chip so he could feel

Picard is also a lot darker in this movie, tom between maintaining his stature and getting revenge on the Borg for capturing him six years ago and attempt­ing to convert him. Stewart does an excel­lent job in showing the conflict. His dark side is a refreshing break for the always diplomatic Picard.

The biggest stars of the movie are Industrial Light and Magic, Pop Film and the make-up crew, all of whom do an out­standing job on special effects.

Holy win, Batman! Metro downs Holy Names Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The men's basketball squad opened the I 996-97 season with a monstrous trashing of Holy Names College on Friday, 103-63.

Coach Charles Bradley said the offense played in spurts. Very big spurts at that, including an I I -point run to start the game after watching only one shot hit the net.

That was the only time it was a . contest. The 'Runners' offense never stopped producing, pushing their lead to 25 by the end of the first half and 40 by the end of the game.

Passing the I 00-point milestone in their first game of the season should say a lot for this 'Runners team, but Bradley put it in perspective.

"I'm more worried about playing good solid defense and letting the offense come to itself," he said.

The defense played relentlessly, forcing 32 Names turnovers.

Four Metro players fin­ished in double figures: point guard DeMarcos Anzures, 23 (9-14); shooting guard Adam Apodaca, 16 (5-10); forward Kelly Haynes, 15 (6-I 2); and shooting guard C.J. Arellano, 10 (4-7).

Metro dominated the glass, out-rebounding Names 45-38. The 'Runners were led by freshman forward Loni Jones and 6-foot guard Sidikie Kamara with six boards each; three others fin­ished with five. Metro had a 56 percent shot efficiency from the field, compared to Names' 46 percent shooting.

Metro unselfishly exe­cuted their passing game

ith i"credible accuracy as they totaled 27 assists, and Names finished with only nine. Adam Apodaca led with six, followed by three others with four apiece.

Forward Jay Harris is nicknamed "Trigger'' by his teammates because of his inclination for shooting the ball. Harris shot the ball only twice Friday; he made them both.

"I went to the line ten times," said Harris, who fin­ished with nine points, "but I only made five. I got to work on that." Then again, so does the rest of the team, which shot 16-30 (53 percent) from the line.

I 00 every time." All 11 players on the roster saw

significant playing time as Bradley jug­gled the line-up to see which combina­tions worked.

Despite the 40-point victory mar­gin, he said the team still has a lot to learn.

"We have a long way to go and a short time to get there," he said.

"All we ca.n do is improve," said Arellano, the team's only senior. "We have to work on not giving teams good looks. The way we shut (Names) down is we forced a lot of turnovers."

Names did have some good looks

- they shot 56 percent in the second half. However, the game was long since decided and Metro answered by shoot­ing 62 percent.

By the way the Roadrunners played Friday, unselfish and deter­mined, one would be surprised at the number of fresh faces on the squad.

Out-of-state transfer Haynes said, "I've never been on a team like this, that's so together."

Haynes had a technical foul called on him for hanging on the rim after a dunk, which is fine so long as there is a player under the basket. Hayes said he thought there was someone under the

points, it's fun," Harris said. "We're a fast-paced team, and we're going to try to get

net. Someone was. Nevertheless it does not matter, Haynes said, "as long as we won the game, that's all that counts."

Apodaca scored the final points on an incredible reverse dunk at the buzzer. Apodaca, however, scored most of his points from the three-point line where he drained four in the second half. The team finished with seven treys, with all but one coming in the second half.

Metro plays at the Colorado School of Mines next Friday in an exhi­bition game against Monterey Tech at 6 p.m. and the next day against Montana Tech at 6 p.m.

Metro men's squad pointing to success

Point guards must be leaders. They must be good defenders. Most important­ly, they must be unselfish.

Last year, the men's basketball team had the most unselfish player in the coun­try al the point. Bobby Banks led the nation in assists, a category that most clearly defines the position. He is the only men's basketball player from Metro to ever lead the nation in a statistical cat­egory.

This year's team has two players try­ing to fill Banks' shoes. Starter DeMarcos Anzures, a sophomore from Thornton, and Sidikie Kamara, a junior from Portland, Ore., will be running the show.

Kamara is a former high school All­American, and Anzures was the 4A play­er of the year in Colorado in 1995.

Both players are expected to see plenty of court time, said assistant coach Jim Eisenman. They each played 23 min­utes in Metro's season-opening demoli­tion of Holy Names College Friday evening.

Anzures led all scorers with 23 points, and Kamara was a force on defense. Each player had five steals and they combined for seven assists.

"I just try to be a leader and make everyone better," Kamara said with a shy smile.

"Sidikie moves his feet about as well as any guard you'll see," Eisenman said. "He really sets the tone for us on defense."

Anzures is a good passer with good anticipation and he is learning to lead the team, Eisenman said.

Both players have introverted per­sonalities off the floor, Eisenman said. The similarities do not stop there. They are the same height (6-feet) with similar builds and a love for the game.

Replacing Banks is a key to this year's success. Anzures and Kamara appear ready for the challenge.

Swimmers dig Mines' grave; women drown DU Men fall to DU, but warm up to whip Mines the following day; women remain unbeaten

A. Jeter The METROPOLITAN

The Colorado School of Mines Orediggers found out what it was like to meet a Roadrunner's wrath Saturday as Metro stole the gold from the Mines team, with the women beating them 122-90 and the men sweeping by with a 124-112 victory.

The women collected two wins last weekend to remain undefeated, 5-0. Aside from crushing Mines, the women squeaked by Division II heavy University of Denver. However, the men were not as lucky and suffered a big team loss of 79-131.

Still, the men's team was not with­out some shining stars in the form of freshman Josh Haney, co-captains Kyle Cook and Matt Calhoun and all three of the Watson brothers: Jon, Scott and Steve.

Haney bulleted out of the block for two first-place finishes against Mines, one in the 200-yard freestyle (I :50.64) and the other in the 100-yard freestyle (0:50.70). That last 100-yard time would have been enough to beat DU's Mariano Delle Donne, who took the first spot with a 0:55.72 time, but Haney sluggishly added a good seven

seconds onto that run. Most of the faster times for the

men came with the Mines meet, which may boil down to one reason. The Mines swimmers are faster than the DU squad, at least this weekend they were, and perhaps, the added competi­tion that Mines presented was the key

in March. "We're training to get to

Nationals," he said. "That's what this program is geared around. If we win dual meets, that's a cherry on the sun­dae."

at either meet, including the women's competitions.

"We're capable of doing better than we did this weekend. We didn't swim very sharp. And both teams were geared for us." He said he thought maybe the other swimmers were more prepared for Metro than Metro was for them.

Despite the DU loss, however, Nasser said the teams' goal is not to win dual meets, but rather to swim their way to the Division II Nationals

Although the women beat DU, they did it with only seven points to spare and with a majority of the team points coming from the relay team of freshmen Christabell Nieman and Stephanie Tadlock, sophomore Alishia McCartie and veteran sprinter Angela Hillsten, as well as from speedster Kristin Schweissing, rookie Sarah

Knigge and Nieman, McCartie and Hills ten's individual contributions.

McCartie has proved herself to be like a Roadster in the old movies -fast and sleek. She seems at home swimming the individual medley where she is allowed to blend her backstroke and freestyle talents to pro­duce first-place finishes in the 200 J.M. against both of last weekend's opponents, as well as to assist in win­ning the 400 medley relays.

However, McCartie sustained a minor injury in an automobile accident and may be out of commission for Friday's meet against the University of Northern Colorado. This proves worri­some for Nasser since she swims her events so well, he said.

"l don't have anyone who can cover her events as fast she does," he said.

The UNC meet will be a battle­ground for the women, Nasser said, because the Greeley team has consis­tently been in the top l 0 in the nation for the past several years. Still, Nasser said both teams are on the right track and they can beat UNC, but they will have to swim very well.

That competition will be the last before the Thanksgiving hiatus next week.

NOVEMBER 22, 1996 The METROPOLITAN 23 -'Runners sweep own tourney Matthew J. Lilley The METROPOLITAN

The women's basketball team played outstanding second-half basketball last weekend, coming from behind twice to start the season 2-0.

Point guard Stephanie Allen said she was happy the team came back to win the two games but said they should not have had to do that to begin with.

"First of all, we should come out and dominate right away, so we don't have to worry about coming back," she said.

In the first half Friday the uninspired 'Runners watched Southwest State University build an I I-point lead, which Metro cut to four by halftime, 23-27.

Guard Kainoa Burleigh blamed the poor first half on weak shooting.

"If we would have made half of our Jay-ups," she said, "it wouldn't have even been close, especially in the first half."

After the break, however, Metro came out intense and motivated, scoring 13 straight points. The 'Runners controlled the game the rest of the way, winning by a close 64-59.

Second and third chances for redemption for Metro, who shot a bleak 34 percent (25-73) from the field, came in dominating the glass, with 31 of their 51 rebounds coming from offensive boards.

Leading the way for Metro was post player Farrah Magee who finished with 14 rebounds ( 10 offensive) and

. 15 points. Center Shiloh Justice snagged 13 boards (eight offensive) and dropped in 15 points.

Guard Kristi Baxter also finished with 15 points, and was named to the all-tournament team for her contribu­tions over the weekend.

Allen hit several key shots near the end to finish with nine points, five steals and three assists.

remaining. Metro did not let UNC pull away,

keeping the score within two points until Baxter tied it with four minutes remaining. Metro did not take the lead until the last minute when Allen hit a lay-up on the drive.

UNC could only foul, sending Allen to the line, where she hit one of three. It was all Metro needed to stun UNC 60-57.

Allen finished with 22 points, three steals and three assists. For her play over the weekend, she was named the Metro State Classic Invitational's most valuable player.

"I have to hand that to my team," Allen said. "It's not a one-person game, it's five people that helped me get that."

Inside, Justice pulled down 12 rebounds and finished with 11 points. Justice was without the help of Magee for most of the game because Magee injured her ankle in the first half.

Guard Angela Milliard pulled down five rebounds, including two big ones in the final minute to limit UNC's chances to get back in the game.

"The pressure is great," said Milliard, one of only two returning players from last year. "It makes you go out and put everything on the court. There's nothing to lose, especially against a team like UNC, who we've always wanted to beat."

Against the University of Northern Colorado in the championship game Saturday, Metro fell behind 17 points 10 minutes into the game, shooting 14 percent to UNC's 88 percent from the field at that point.

At the half UNC held a comfortable 12-point lead, 24-36. Metro's full-court pressure defense forced 20 UNC turnovers and put the 'Runners back in the game. Two three-point buckets from Allen spurred a 10-2 run that chopped the UNC lead to two, 49-51, with 6:41

Metro lost a close game to UNC last year by eight points. Saturday's game looked more like an early blowout. But coach Darryl Smith's squad remained confident:

"It wasn't . out of reach," Baxter said after the game, "we were just get­

The Metro volleyball team ended its season in the first round of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament last weekend.

The Roadrunners traveled to Nebraska riding the momentum and confidence stemming from a late-sea­son surge during which the 'Runners changed from pretenders to serious contenders.

Led by seniors Stacey Hoyt and

"We played tough against them, but not the best we could."

- Kerry Beidleman setter

Kerry Beidleman the 'Runners switched from their tentative and lethargic style from the beginning of the season to an aggressive attack and staunch defense which won them four of their last five matches and a trip to the RMAC tourney.

"At one point in the season, we

turned around our playing and came together as a team," Beidleman said. "That gave us confidence and momen­tum for the tournament."

It was at the RMAC tourney that Metro's momentum was killed and their confidence shattered by the very team that hosted the tournament -conference powerhouse Nebraska­Kearney.

Although they finished with the same 9-10 conference record as the School of Mines, Metro was seeded last in the tournament and had to face the Lopers in the first match, a team

who had beaten them twice this year. History repeated itself in the

tournament and, as before, Kearney _,, finished Metro off in three straight ' games, quickly ending any hope for

an upset.

"We played tough against them but not the best we could," Beidleman said. "There were some good individual efforts, but we just didn't come together as a team."

It was a disappointing end to a tough season, one which had the promise of turning into a very good season for the 'Runners. However disappointing it may be, the tourna­ment was good experience for the relatively young Metro squad who will have to pick up their play for next year as they stand to lose their team leaders in seniors Hoyt and Beidleman and another senior in Katie Ritter.

"I'm looking to have a strong recruiting class for next year," head coach Joan McDermott said.

Metro has a strong returning group for next season, and they hope to capitalize on their talents along with fresh play in the recruits.

The 'Runners finished with an overall 13-20 record.
