Falling into higher tuitionByTARAMOBERLYt.moberlyomscd.edu

Meko students will be digging alihle deeper into their wallets next fallwhen tuition increases 7. 5 percent.

The tuition increase is part of the2O09 budget approved June 4 by theBoard of Trustees.

Students will pay an additional$7.60 per credit hour beginning inthe fall, bringing the resident tuitioncost to $2.614 for the '08-'09 schoolyear, an increase of $182.

Three and a half million dollarsin tuition revenue will be generatedfrom the tuition increase, accordingto Natalie Lutes, vice president of Ad-ministration and Finance.

Coupled with an estimated $ 1.19million in tuition revenue from en-rollment growth, close to $5 millionin additional tuition revenues are ex-pected to be generated.

Student fees will also increase 2.2percent in the fall, based on the Con-sumer Price Index.

Several fee incr€ases were approved by the students, including theRTD pass fee and the clean air fee.

Student fees will increase approx-iamately $20.

The COF stipend will' increasealso, from $89 per credit hour to$92.

The stipend will increae for allstudents in Colorado and is based onenrollment proiections. It is also de-

tennined using the Consumer PriceIndex.

With these combined increases,full-time students can expect to shellout roughly $2 50 more tlan they didin the '07-'08 school par.

The current increase comes on

the heels of a 5 percent hrition in-crease that went into effect fall of2007.

Metro also received an 11.2 per-cent increase in state funds, morethan any other college or universityin Cqlorado.

The increase in state fundingaims to bring Metro up to the fiscallevel of its national peers following aColorado Department of Higher Edu-cation study,

The study, initiated in 2006,mmpared Colorado colleges and uni-versities with other institutions fromacross the country by factors includ-ing size, location, and institutionalrole and mission.

Peer institutions then comparedstate and tuition funding levels, andgaps in those levels were determined.

"For Metro, the gap is significant.That is, Metro received 50 percent ofour peer average in state funding, andoru student share of tuition is about50 percent of the comparative insti-tution," Lutes said.

She said tbe state recognized this,.r€sulting in the st€ep increase in statefinds, airnd at closing the gap be-

tween Metro and its peer institutions.President Stephen fordan noted at

the board meeting that after lookingat these numbers, without increasedstate funding, Meho would have hadto increase tuition by 15 percent ormore each year to meet the fundinglevel of peqr institutions.

Colorado ranks 5O in terms ofstate support and tuition dollarsdirected toward higher education,according lo Paul Lingenfelter, presi-dent of State Higher Educafion Bx-ecutive Officers.

Boulder-based State Higher Edu-cation Executive Omcers supportsstates in developing and sustainingsystems of higher education.

David E. Skaggs, executive direc-tor of the Colorado Department ofHigher Fducation, is a member.

Lingenfelter said that while bothVermont and New Hampshire receiveless state funding than Colorado, lowtuition fees in the state lead to theranking.

"When you put tuition and statesupport together, I think that state-ment is correct," he said,

Meho junior Jayshen BelI, a 23-year-old civil engineering major, dis-agrees with the decision to increasetuition.

Bell works lor Nationa] EducationIoan Network, an education plan-ning and finance company, where hedeals with shrdent loans accounts on

a daily basis."In this tougb economic climate,

all that is going to happen is to dis-courage people from furthering theireducation because people are not go-ing to be able 0o pay back their loansthat are paying for these increases,"he said.

Lingenfelter, however, wantedto remind students at Colorado col-leges and universities that despite thestate's low ranking, they are still pay-ing less than most students.

"Tlrition for Colorado in-state stu-dents, generally, is below the natonalaverage. "

While Metro is committed to con-tinuing its tradition as Colorado's bestvalue in higher education, tuitioniould continue to increase.

"The tuition rate will be evalu-ated each year. Inllation, as well asclosing tle funding gap . "

Metro student's won't be the onlyones facing higher tuition in the fall.

T[ition at many colleges and uni-versities across the state will increase.with most seeing larger increasesthan Meto.

Colorado State Universif stu-dents will see a 9.5 percent iump intuition, followed closely by a 9.3 per-cent hike at University of Colorado,

Students at CCD and other Colo-rado cornrnunity colleges will see thesmallest increase in their tuition, only5 pertent.

It will cost more 0o park on cam-pus beginning Iuly I, when the firstphase of a two-year fee increase plangoes into effect.

The average increase at most ofthe 19 parking areas on carnpus willbe 50 cents, though some will in-cr€ase st€eply.

Iot R. located at the northeastend of campus alongside the athleticfields, will increase the most. from $4to $5.50.

Fee increases are based on theproximity of a lot to campus. Thecloser the lot to campus, the more thefee will increase,

The fee at only one lot on campus,Lot Q, will not increase at all in eitherphase of the plan. It costs $2.25 topark in Iot Q, located at the south-west end of campus ne.f the ColfaxAvenue overpa.ss.

A second wave of parking fee in-creases will go into elTect fuly 2009.

The fee increase is broken intotwo phases to put less of a skain onthose using the parking facilities andto help people understand Auraria'sMaster Plan.

The Masler Plan is a vision ofthe campus of the future that wasapproved by the Auraria Higher Edu-cation CJnter Board of Trustees lastyear.

Creating tlree separate, uniqueareas for the insdtu[ons on campusis one major goal of the Mater Plan.To achieve this, many things on cam-pus will be moved and new structureswill be built. including a new parkinggarage,

Auraria parking and transportationofficials said the fees are broken intotwo seperate increases to put les ofa strain on those using the parkngfacilities. In addhion, it willalso helppeople better undertand AurariatMaster Plan, which includes theconstruction of a parking stru<ture.

llluffiim bt alk Garh . n9ri20@n6(drdu

March by AHEC found that the cur-rent 7,00O parking spaces on cam-pus will meet demand until 2OlO.However, the study determined thatW 2O2O, demand for parking willgrow to 8,<[O0 spaces.

To meet the growing demand, anew parking structure will need tobe built. The shucture will cost from$15,000 to $20,000 per space tobuild.

"Hoping that the system will help

Imy for the stucture, you have to put

a down payment on tbe constructioncosts," said Mark Gallagher, directorof Auraria Parking and Transporta-tion.

The money from increased feeswould go toward a reserve fund thatwould help pay for the parking struc-ture, The reserve funds will be out-lined within the budget and regularlyreported on.

Gallagher believes that as the col-leges decide how they want their par-ticular schools and communities to

look, people will begin to understandthe increase in parking fees.

"If the Master Plan were to sud-denly stop, it is doubfr we would goahead witJr these raises," he said.

Kevin Harris, outgoing studenttrustee on the Mebo Board of Trust-ees, feels that AHEC should have pre'sented the plan to srudents earlier.

Metro's Student Government As-sembly, as well as the student govern-ments at UCD and CCD, were onlysiven two weeks notice before the de-

cision to increase fees was passdHarris said the propcal to in-

crease fees could have been divulgedmonths prior.

"Meho is a school of opportu-nity," Harris said, "every fee increasethat goes unchecked is unaccept-able."

Gallagher, who did not view therate changes until late March, feltgetting the information to student'searlier was difficult due to the AHEC'sbudget process.

Metro3 board gets in bed with idea forcampus hotelByDOMINIC GRAZIANOdgrazial-emscd.edu

If you've ever wanted to stay thenigbt at Auraria, you'll soon be ableto now that plans for an on-campushotel have been approved.

The Metro Board of lYustees au-thorized the proposal for a hotel andhotel leaming center that will be usedas a working classroom for Meho'shospitality deparhent at a June 4meeting.

At the board 6s€ring, ChadGruhl, director of hotel management,laid out a tentafive plan for the hoteland learning center. Gruhl went overthe apprmimated space needed forthe hotel, as well as a tentative planfor the layout of the classrooms andhotel roorns.

The hotel will be approximately100,000 square feet, with 20,000square feet dedicated to a learningc€nter that will be used strictly foracadernlc purposes.

The learning center will house

severai classrooms, including laboratories dedicated to the different as-pects of hotel management and foodproduction, as well as faculty offices.

"The entire proiect will costroughly $ 34.2 million dollars intoday's figrues." Gruh.l said. "$7.5million for the hotel learning center,which will be raised through the de-velopment office and $26.7 millionfor the hotel itself "

Funding for the hotel has yet tobe determined, but it will not be paidfor with taxpayer dollars, accordingto Gruhl.

The $26.7 million needed for theactual hotel will come from a localor national hotel company. To find acompany to pay for the proiect, Gruhlsaid a Request ior Proposal will besubmitted.

"This way everybody has a fairgame for it," he said. "We'll put ad-vertisements in newspapers and onthe Internet. It is a bidding process."

As of now there is no solid layoutor blueprint for the hotel. Gruhl said.

Gruhl added that releasing pre-liminary plans would be unfair tocompanies competing for the project.

"There will be 12 floors. Nothingelse has been solidified. We haven'treleased any blueprints or layouts,"he said.

Several dillerent areas oD campuswere mnsidered as pokntial buildingsites for the hotel, including the areawhere the atbletic playing fields cur-rendy are.

"The building will be built onparking lot R, on the corner farthestfrom campus. It will be right next toIndo," Grubl said. "The area is suchan incredible gateway to downtown.Its location and visibili$ will be ben-eficial to the campus as a whole.

"We did a feasibility study withthe HRXC (Hospitality Real Estat€Consultants) last summer," Gruhlsaid. "They found that without aquestion, that is the most feasible lo-cation for a hotel,"

The hotel will slqnocket Meho'shospitality program, Gruhl said.

"There are roughly 200 hospita.l-ity programs in the counhy at thistime and, without quesflon, this willput us in the top 20," he said.

Gruhl added that the hotel pro-posal was modeled after several simi-lar programs at colleges on the EastCoast. No colleges in the West havean on-site hotel.

The addition of a hotel will putMetro above other similar programsin nearby stats.

"This will make us the preemi-nent institution for [hotel] operationmanagers in the five states area."

The closest school with similarplans is the University of Nevada IasVegas.

Gruhl said that the school is inthe development stages for a hotelnow that Harrah's agreed to provide$30 million in funding.

At the board meeting, Gruhl'splan was met with some hesitation byboard member Eugene Saxe.

Saxe was concerned about howthe hotel would benefit the entire

student body and not just one depart-ment.

"Id like to understand a litdemore clearly, like to have a little moreassuranc€. that we're not burden-ing ourselves with something thatdoesn't function as elTectively in theinterests of the entire college" Saresaid.

the departuent of hospitality,toudsm and events management atMetro is made up of more than 40Ostudents, according to Gruhl.

President Stephen fordan notedthat the hotel and its facilides wouldnot solely be used for the hospitalitydepartnent.

"Clearly, one of the problernswe're tying to solve with this is wedo not have any space on this cam-pus !o host conferences, " fordan said."This creates the opportunity for anyacademic departrnent to host a majorconference. They have the hotel spacethere. They have the meeting spacethere. That's part of what this spaceis mea to do, "

Starting with war propa.gandaposters used during the fight for in-dependence from France, Viehanesemen found that by depicting womenin the posters would cause more mento join the army.'

Most post€rs showed womendressed with arry helmets and guns."These posters were of women, andwomen were the embodying power ofthe land of Vietnam," Taylor said,

After Vietnam won thet indepen-dence from France in 1945, womenwere not viewed as artists.

Taylor said that an art school inllanoi, Viebram had on] three womengraduate before 1945. After gaining in-dependence, Mehamese women madeup near! 5O percent of gra.duates.

So it seemedironic that the government would is-sue "stimulus" checks, encouragingpeople to spend, spend, spend andconfurue living beyond their neans.

But again, students on Auraria

are ignoring this bad advice fromthe U.S. gorrernment and using themoney to gali inteftst in savings, payolT debt or repair th.i1666 3lfi6rrghevery student said they ride the lightrail as much as possible.

Economic dovvnhrrns are alsousually marlad by a consfriction ona ffnancial institufions' ability to lendmoney. However, Associate Dfectorof Financial Aid Theresa Godinez, saidlending limits on government loans forstudents are actuaLv increasing.

Godinez said students should notworry about receiving aid they havebeen awarded, but does recommendstudents manage theh money

"It is going to become more im-porta that they set up a budgietfor themselves and know where themoney is going," Godinez said.

Godinez said the increase in gov-ernment loan limits will also help stu-dents who apply for additional loansthrougb private lenders. Governnentloans are locked in at a lower ra@

than most primte loans, and she sug-grests students rhinking about loansto apply through FAFSA first.

Metro stirdent Mike Grigg sayshe isn't worried about receiving fi-nancial aid but would appreciat€ anyexha boost in aid he could get. Griggsays he has a job now while in schooland belierres his previous exp€riencein business will allow him to find ajob relatively easily

'I'm just trying to get an edu-cation that's why I came back toschool," Grigg said. "I want a degree.I had opportunities, but I couldn'tmake it up to that next level because Ididn't have a degree. "

Like it or not, ffnancial marketsrespond and economic climates areset by the emotions and ranb of polit-ical soottrsayers and talking heads. Aseemingly absurd arrangemenL buta reality that leaves me wonderinghow heads like Gr€enspan can act soirresponsib$ and why more of themaren t shrdents at Auraria.

Auraria is dotted with lush,green lawns. Occasionally, dande-lions invade the grass near the pe-rimeter of campus. In early morn-ing, before students arrive, one oftwo licensed workers at FacilitiesManagement don a chemical suit,gloves and mask to apply a spray,called TYimec, which contains themost commonly used pesticide inthe non-agricultural sector in theU.S. It's known as 2.4-D and it car-ries an BPA toxicity rating of 1, thehighest of four categories.

According to a report published inErwircnmental Science and. Technologyin 2O01, 2,4-D is popular becatrse it'scheap and easy to produce. Its manu-facturer is a $ 300 million yearly busi-ness for Dow AgroSciences, a maiorproducer, among others.

2,4-D (or 2,4didrlorophenoxyacetic acid) is produced in severalforrhs. The diethylamine salt usedat Auraria is the most toxic, accord-ing to Beybnd Pesticides, a watchdoggroup. It can cause irreversible eyedamage. The group reports that 'in-

halation generally leads to coughing,burning di-ine6 and loss of musclecoordination. Oral consumption ir-ritates the digestive tract, results innausea, diarrhea, vomiting and canlead to kidney and liver damage. 2,4-D is one of few herbicides to causehervous system damage; both diges-.tion and inhalation alTect the centralnervous syst€m."

A synthetic auxin, 2,4-D belongsto a group of plant growth regula-tors that make dandelions and otherweeds enter into unconfrollable, un-sustainable growth leading to passingout and eventual death. It only alfecbbroadleaf plants, and thus doesn'thamr a monocot such as grass, (Itwould kill mariiuana, which is tech-nically a broaclleaf, )

Facilities Management linits theapplication of 2,4-D spray to park-way strips and campus edges, accord-ing to AHEC groundskeeper supervi-sor M.ike Nichols. It also posts sipswarning students that the spray wasrccently applied. Howevet he men-tioned the use of Scott's Ttrlbuilderon campus - a product that contains '

Reproductive toxicity has alsobeen observed with the chemical.A 1991 study found that male farmsprayers o<posed to 2,4-D had lowerspenn counts and ihcreased spermabnormalities compared to unex-posed men. And a Sierra Club ofCanada report cites a 1996 studythat correlated higher rates of birthdefects in areas of Minnesota, thestate with the highest rate of use for2,4-D arlil similar herbicides. Signifi-cantly, the increase in birth defectspeaked among children conceived inthe spring, the season of greatest her-bicide use.

The Environmental ProtectionAgency has been reluctant to classify2,4-D as a carcinogen due to industry

prressure, according to Beyond Pes-ticides. The EPA lists the chemical inclass D indicating there is inadequateevidence or not enough data.

While grassy areas are directlya-ffected by 2,4-D, there is also con-cern about it being an indoor air

- toxin. A 2003 study by RuthannRudel found 2,4-D in the dust of 63percent of sampled homes. Levelsof the chemical in air and house-hold surfaces increased followinglawn application of the herbicidein a 2OO1 study. This resulted inexposure levels that were 10 timeshigher than pre-application, anddemon3trates how easily the prod-uct enters homes.

Many "weed and feed" productscontain the chemical. Scott's Turf-builder Plus 2, Ortho Weed B Gon,SpecEacide, UlfraStop and Scott'sGreen Sweep a.ll use 2,4-D to kill dan-delions and other broadleaf plants.Dogs that romp on lawns treated with2 ,4-D products four or thore times peryear wer€ twice as likely to get caninemalignant lymphoma than dogs onlawns where the herbicide was notapplied, according to a l99l Nation-al Cancer Institute shrdy.

Two studies have shorrl'n a linkbetween hepafitis cases and "chron-

ic oral consu.mption of 2,4-D by golf-ers who habitually licked their golf!alls,". according to Beyond Pesti-cides.

There are alternatlves to 2,4-D. Many groups have begun ques-tioning the use of any grsticidesat school facilities. A March 2O07booklet entitled, "Turning l.IY StateSchools Away from Pesticide Use"advocates reducing or eliminatingthe chemicals. Twelve dishicts in thereport were already pesticide-free.

Nichols and McDonald both saidthat fertilized, well-watered grasswas unlikely to be invaded by weeds.Pre-emergents, which prohibit thegermination and growth of seed-lings, are used by Nichols on Aurariafield. He also advocates the time-hon-ored method of popping dandelionsout by hand with a gardening tool.Clove oil, readily available on ttre In-ternet, or household vinegar can be

employed for spot applications.UNC's McDonald had sage ad-

vice: "The best thing, and I'm a pro-ponent of this, is people should toler-ate more weeds."

His use of organic fertilizerssuch as Milorganite and Naturesafeare testament to his decidedly morenatural approach than that of pre-ceding years. Resficting Ttimec toperlnekr ar€as is also a result of hispolicy; there are no regulatory limitsas to r,l'here on Auraria 2,4-D can beapplied

Created in the 1940s with thegoal of max.imizing crop produc-tion, 2,4-D was also a major com-ponent of Agent Orange defoli-ant used during the Vietnam War.Whjle health problems were largelydue to dioxin contamination fromanother compound, now banned,known as 2,4.5-T, several formsof dioxin have also been found in

2,4-D according to a 2003 U.S. EPAreport and the Extension Toxicol-ogy Network. EPA studies iD 1994found dioxins in several productsthat contain 2,4-D.

Concern over 2,4-D is highenough that it is not approved foruse on lawns and gardens in Swe-den, Denrnark, Norway, Kuwait andthe Canadian province of Quebec,and its use is severely restricted inBelize, However, it continues to beapproved in the U.S. in spite of amounting body of evidence thatlinks the herbicide to various can-cers.

Keeping pace in the whirlwind of

Baird, thc band's lead vocalist andguitar player.

It w:rs only a year and a half ago

that the dispersed young men decided

to assemble themselvcs into a proiect

all its olvn.

Baird and Joel N{atther,n's. the

drummer. met each other at Smoky

Hill High School while dueling for

the affection of the school's popular

opinion in two dilferent bands. Al-

though Matthews played poppunk

while Baird played "screamo. ' both

recognized thcir similar interests in

venturing outside of their early cho-

sen genres.

"He was extremely talented

with what he did," Baird said of

Matthews.

One older brother and a college

roommate later, the band rvas ready

to venture into a collaboration ofideas and sounds. Noah trIatthews,

the bassist, and Nick Fox. lead guitar,

iniuse the band rn'ith striking chords

of blues.

While lhe lour memhcrs vary in

their tasl,es and slyles, Baird assures

that all of the band members help

and depcnd on each other in the cre-

ative process.

"Everyone contributes in their

own r.t'ay." Baird said. "Everybody has

lery different backgrounds, rvhich

mal<es the band original. There's no

ty,pe of music we don't appreciate.

We try to bring in every type of genre

that !r€ can. '

The band relexed the nrles of

music-making by taking a full year to

compile lyncs arnd tnncepts belore im-

mersing themselves into performing.

"For the first year we didn't play

at all." llaird said. 'All we did was

It paid off. F'rom the Arcay oJ

cal poetry that is both unguarded

New look,familiar goalsMetro women's soccerteam adds new spicesto winning recipeByZACTAYLORztaylor2@mscd.edu

Meho women's soccer t€amdoesn't plan to take a break for the20O8 season,

Despite losing four valuable se-niors and breaking in a new coach,both the players and the skipper areconfident that they will uphold theprogram's lofty goals.

"We're putting together all thepieces to the puzle," head coachAdrianne Almarez said. "So whengame time comes we'll be ready "

The pu.zle is a Rocky MountainAtt etic Conlerence champion regu-lar, two years removed from a NCAAchampionship.

Last season the Roadrunnersfinished the regular season at thetop of the conference and wereknocked out of the NCAA Tourna-ment in the second round a{ter ashootout.

The glue in last year's team wasthe defense, at the core was seniorAll-American goalkeeper Rachel Zoll-ner,

The biggest question will be howto replace Metro's valuable goalkeep,and A.lrnarez has two answers; LisaIewett and Alee Seehausen.

Iewett is a freshman from Doug-las County High School and Seehau-sen has been waiting in the wings ofZollner for a chance to start. Almarezis excited for the competition, and be-lieves that it is a great chance for bothof the players.

"For them it's the mindset thatit is my chance now that Zollner isgone," Almarez said how the twogoalkeepers feel.

Senior defender Nicole Cito ack-nwoledged that replacing AII-RMACgoalkeepr Zollner is a hard task,but she is confident that the defensewon't ruffer.

"There will be a new goaiie," Citosaid. "She'll be stepping into Rachel'srole and I think she'll do pretty goodat that."

If Zollner represents the biggesthole in the 2008 prrzzl6.lsplz4ing f61-ward Katie Kilbey will present nearlyas big of a challenge. Last season thestar forward netted 18 goals, secondon the team. and a team leading nineASSjSTS.

"She's eager and ready to have aneven bigger role than she had before, "

Alrnarez said. "She is becoming com-fortable in her shoes."

If last year's freshman phenom-ena Nladison McQuilliams continuesto improve in her sophomore year,she could be the replacement. If not,

Almarez believes that at least one ortwo of the newcomers will be able tomake an immediate impact.

'All of them have the ability tocome in and earn a spot," Almarezsaid. "Usually you'll find one or twowho really respond and make an im-pact immediatly. "

The coach's top bet to make animmediate impact in the upom-ing season is transfer fen Thomas,

a forward from the University ofKansas.

"She played at KlJ, she's quick,"Almarez said. "She knows the gameand she works hard."

Of course the change on the side-lines will have the longest lasting ef-fect for the program as a whole, withAlmarez as the new head coach and

Sports BriefsAth letic director awardedMcDermott receivesAD of theYear in WestRegion of Division llBy ERIC LANSINGlansingomscd.edu

After four national champion-ships and 19 Rocky Mountain Ath-letic Conference championships.Metro's athletic director foan McDer-mott was named AshoT\rf AthleticDirector of the Year for Division II'sWest Region on June 9.

McDermott, who has spent 10years as AD for Metro sports, was tak-en by surprise by the announcement.

"I felt shock and honor, but veryhonored." McDermott said. "I wassurprised and had no idea, and I wasvery flattered. "

McDermott is r.rsually on the giv-ing end of awards or at least standingnext to the athlete when the awardpicture is being taken. But this time,the heralded AD was receiving thehardware and, to say the least, shewas in awe of the situation.

"It was different," McDermottsaid. "I got to sit at the head tableand to my left was rhe AD of Missouriwhich was pretty cool. I thought'wow this is really special."'

She is one of 29 winners whowere selected by the National As-

sociation of Collegiate Directors ofAthletics (NACDA) to receive theaward.

They were chosen from four re-gions and seven cat€gories such asthe Football Bowl Subdivision, Divi-sion I, Dvision tr, lunior/CorrmunityColleges, the NAIA and the FootballChampionship Subdivision.

McDermott has vaulted Mehosports to a respectable program withtwo national championships in men'sbasketball (2O00 and 2002) and twoin women's soccer (2004 and 2006).But Metro's AD knows she couldn'thave reached those heights withoutthose around her.

"It is from having great supportand a great staff all the way down tothe coaching staff," McDermott said."It is their hard work and tireless ef-forts that has put Metro sports on themap."

Metro head volleyball coach Deb-bie Hendricks praises McDermott forher efforts and believes she was longoverdue for the award.

Hendricks has worked under Mc-Dermott for eight years at Metro andsays that McDermott's success comesfrom being in the trenches as a playerand coach. McDermott was the headvolleyball coach at Metro for fiveyears before becoming atl etic direc-tor in 1998.

Metro AD Joan McDemott'A consistent hend in our rela-

tionship is mutual respect," Hen-<lricks said. "ff I truly need somethingto be successful, she has never turnedme down, Having been a coach her-self, she understands what I am go-ing through and the demands of theiob."

McDerrnoft agrees that sirting inthe coach's shoes has given her thetools to strive to make all 17 of Met-ro's sports programs into competitiveforces.

"Coaching helped me under-stand coaches, the pressures of the

iob, pressures of the student athletesand the struggles of juggling travel-

ing and school work. II you go to big-ger schools, the trend is that athleticdirectors have never coached beforeand go into the job as a business.I think my time as an athlete andcoach have made me better."

After a decade of success, thementality of McDermott is a simpleone. Instead of directing the focus onchampionships or NCAA Tournamentbids, she makes sure a]l the focus is onthe atldetes rather than on accolades.

"It's all about the student ath-lete experience," McDermott said."We want to give the students agreat experience with graduating,becoming a better player on theirrespective team and being involvedin their community. That is my basicphilosophy "

With great accomplishmentscome better opportunities and Mc-Dermott could climb the NCAA lad-der trying her hand at DMsion I. Butshe isn't ready to let go of the greatprogram she has built in the past de-cade, and she doesn't plan to go any-where anltime soon.

'I really love Metro State and tru-ly believe in it," McDermott said. "It isa great place, and I love Division tr. Ithas good balance. Athletes are com-petitive, and they do other things likeparticipate in community service andlearn to be their own people. "

Awards:

MeFo men's soccer and women'sbasketball progams have reason tocelebrate even though both are in theoffseason.

Because soccer forward PhillipOwen and basketball forward Ma-rie-Anne Torp are Rocky MountainAthletic Conference Honor Student-Athletes.

Last season, star senior strikerPhillip Owen lead the team in goalsand points, on his way to leavingMetro has the schools all-time leaderin points, assists and goals scorec.

Torp, also a senior starter, wasnamed to the RMAC All-AcademicHonor Roll.

To be eligible to receive the award,both Metro at}letes had to have atleast a 3.2 GPA., be a starter or keyreserve. and be of good character.

Volleyball:

Metro head volleyball coach Deb-bie Hendricks released the schedulefor the fall 2008 season.

The lineup includes sevenmatchups against tearns that madethe NCAA Tournament in the 2007season.

The Roadrunners start their up-com.ing season with the HawaiianClassic Touroament in Hilo, Hawaiifrom August 28-30.

I Colorado sp orts lack management skillsThe state of Colorado sports hit

one of its highcst points last October,the Rockies had just won 2l out of 22games to get the team's first World Se-ries in their history, the Nuggets andAvalanche were embarking seasonspacked with high expectations for theNuggeb aIId some glimmels sf tr6p€for the Avs. The Bioncos were show-ing some sigrrs of promise after a 2-3 .

start and some thought they mightmale the plaplfs.

Well it's all been downhill fromthere, Tlre Bmncos finished 7-9,blowing games at home againstthe Green Bay Packers and ChicagoBears and being blown out by thehkes of the Detoit Lions and HoustonTexans, two nonalayofl teams, notto mention the San Diego Chargerstwice and a painfirl loss to the woefu.lOakland Raiders.

The Nuggets proved they werethe moct iDconsistent team in theleague and were in constant turmoil.They did win 50 games for the fusttime since the 1987-88 season, butfinished as the 8th seed in the West-ern Conference and were ousted inthe first round for the fourth year ina row. They were quickly ousted bythe Ios Angeles Lakers, the eventualconference champions.

The Avalanche have been themostsuccessfi team since the Rock-ies run, overcoming injuries to keyplayers to pake the playoffs onceagain, after falling short the previousyear. They ups€t the Minnesota Wildin the first round before being routedby the evenhral champs, the DehoitRed Wings' The team responded by6ring their coach Joel Quennevilleand replaced him with his predeces-sor, Tony Gr?nato, the man who wasdemoted a few years earlier in favor ofQuenneville. If Granato diilnt workthe fust time...

The Rockies have done every-thing to entinguish last sea6on'sbright flame exposing their title runas a fluke. In 2OO7 , they had great

pitching down the strekh, timelyhitting and used speed to their ad-va.ntage, along with playing record-setting defense, This year, all those -fundamentals have not made an ap-peararnce.

Yes, they have had injuries toliey players such as Troy Tulowitzki,Matt Holliday-and Brad Hawpe, butT\rlowitzki was hitting under .200b6fore his injury and Hawpe stillcan't figure out left-handed pikhing.Most disappointing though has beenthe regression of the team's youngpitching. llbaldo fimenez, FranklinMorales and Manny Corpas have alltaken steps back this year alter show-ing so much promise, fimenez hasbeen inconsistent, Morales has beendemoted to Triple-A and Corpas hasbeen removed from his closer roleand banished to middle relief andmop-up duties in the bullpen.

How did things get so bad so fastfor Colorado sports? O n e'might look at the front

t ooffice's reluctancem ake

changes to the coaching staff as partof the problem. All the head coacheshave been given votes of confidence,o<cept for Quennevllle, who was firedalter taking his teaq firrther in theplayoffs than any of the other coach-es,

George Karl has repeatedly saidhe can't get his team to play defenseor get his stars, Allen Iverson and

JOX UNCEARELLIjuaccare@mscd.edu

Carmelo Anthony, to play team bas-ketball. Iverson and Anthony werrth.ird and fourth in the league inscoring and were by far the highestscoring duo in the NBA, but the teamconsistently pla@ down to its com-petition, losing winnable road gamesat Charlotte, Chicago,.New York andMilwaukee, and beating teams likeBoston and San Antonio, teams thatadvanced far further in the playofls.

Karl blames his teams' Iack ofmotivation to rebound and play teamdeferxe along with injudes to keyrole players as a cause for the fourthearly-round exit in four years. Karl,ll'tro once led a team to the NBA Finalstncli in the mid-nineties, also says thatplaye$ just aren't like they used tobe. Well, maybe some coaches aren'teither. Karl was krown in Seattle andMlwaukee as a coach that got in play-ers' faces and yelled and screamed atofficials at a moments notice.

Now he is passive and spendsmost of the game sitthg on thebench. The passivity works for somecoaches, but not too much for Karl.Maybe it could if he looks at Phil

lackson, Greg Poppovich and DocRivers, coaches that have gottentheir talented teams and superstarplayers to play team basketball andhave been very successful.

Karl could be the wrong choicefor this te"m, but owner Stan Kroenlegave Karl a vote of confidence to his

underachieving coach, while firinghis overachieving one in Ouenneville,The thought process seems bass-ack-wards and the only conclusion I canreach is that Avs general managerFlancois Giguerc wanted his ovrn guy

to be the coach, and the Nuggets don't .have an actual general manager so theultimat€ decision lays with Kroenke, aclose friend of Karl's.

The Brorrcos have sullered great-Iy at the hands of their inept draftingin the past decade in a league whereall the chanpionship teams are builtthrough the draft. Head coach MkeShanahan fails to recruit topnot htalent dr'afting the likes of MarcusNash, Astrley Lelie, Wil-Iie MiddlebrooksGeorge Foster in

a n d

the first round.All have been r i

busts and no $I o n g e rwith theteam. The.team hasbeen luckyto draft late-roundpicks and hire

has said time and again that MikeShanahan is his guy, through andthrougtr, He might have to though;the fans might not be able to hanrlleanother losing season without someheads rolling.

The Rockies started last season bygiving general manager Dan O'Doltdand manager Clint Hurdle conhactextensions, much to the bewilder-ment of many fans. Hurdle's best yearwas an 82-80 finish in 2003 and hisoverall record is pretty poor.

Before his extension, he was un-der constant criticism for his inabil-ity to handle a pitching stall and hisquestionable moves late in g,ames.llis response has ahrays been thathis critics donrt lnow as much aboutbaseball as he do€s. Realbr? J fhtnkmost anyone could manage a team tobe a consistent loser.

O'Dowd is another story. He soldoff all the old veterans with largecontracts, with the exception ofTodd Helton, in favor of young play-

ers and home-grown talent. Hepreached patience, saying thatthe talent would come to frui-

tion eventually. Well it did last year,at least temporarily. The team wasvirtually unbeatable in the late-sea-son run before running into a buzzsaw call the Red Sox in the WorldSeries.

The MonJort Bmthers, the Rock-ies' t€am owners, graciously decidedto raise the team payroll slightS, butstill won't discuss a [ong-term dealwith Matt Holliday as well as a fewother plalers, while.reking care ofsome, sucb as T\rlowitzki, Corpas andpitchen Jefr E:ancis and Aaron Cook

But at the end of the day, even ifthese players return to last s€ason'siorm, the club will be competitive,but not a winner.

There seerns to be no upside forany of our maior sports team and un-less upper management is changed,we could deal with mediocre or pos-sibly even worse.

r'

free agents to .any success.say they have

must€r uPOne could

done a remark-able job draft- ing in the laterounds, but every team needs topnotch talent, something Shanahanhasn't been able to provide.

Drafting fay Cutler in 2OO6 waspromising, but this team's needsfar exceed a great quarterback thatCutler may, or may not become. Tla-vis Henry was a bust at running backand the team hasn't had a pass rushsince Ttevor Pryce left a few yearsback.

The linebacking corps was a di-saster last year and cornerback Dre'Bly was a disappointing replacementfor the late Darrent Williams. May-be it's time for the team to move onfrom Shanahan, at least from a tal-ent evaluator position. But Bowlen

And Almarez believes that shecan bring about change for the betterduring her time on the sidelines,

"Ihe thing that I want to seechange is to see the gids more cominit-ted than they've ever been," she said.

Almarez wants this season to bea new beginning for the program,'while keeping up the high standardsthat Sanchez set. And if Almarez hasany problems, she can call on herformer coach and mentor for anvadvice.

"We're really good ftiends," shesaid. "He has always wanted qhat'sbest for the progran. I'm sure I'll becalling him if I erar need advice."

Despite a tough schedule and newfaces both in and outside the lines.the women's soccer team is preparedto put together a new puzzle wtrichcan go all the way.

Based on the program's formersuccess, the promotion of a coachfrom within the program and a coregroup of players returning should bea good recipe.
