"What I said, almost verbatim is: 'They're probably doing it for some stupid reason such as - you can't see the black ~ps at night.' It was supposed to show a lack of real concern by the DPD for the gang problem; only half of the comment was picked up," said Kleg.

Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan

A request for the impeachment of Sen. -.Joel Kleg for allegedly making racist remarks in a class last February sparked a standing ovation from ASMSC Senators.

The request came from Lisa Calderon of the Black Student Alliance at the Aug. 30 Senate meeting.

"In a political science class last year, we ",. were discussing the use of white police officers on the Denver Police Department Gang Task Force," Calderon said. "The teacher asked the class why white officers would be used in primarily black neighborhoods with . primarily black gangs. Joel Kleg said ' ...

The incident Kleg referred to involved a· complaint filed in April 1988 by then Sen. Judith Brooks concerning Kleg's comments during a conversation about Zoab's-bomosexuality.

Three days after filing the complaint Brooks withdrew it, and Kleg agreed to make a public apology to Zoab. But it had caused a rift in the Senate and Kleg eventually resigned Some members of the Senate seem to support Kleg's theory in part: they want him out.

"In response to his actions and attitudes, many members of the Senate, including myself, believe it would behoove Mr. Kleg to resign immediately," said Sen. A. Scott Gassmann of the most recent allegations.

Kleg said that he will go before the Rules Committee and tell his side of the story. He commented on his confidence in overcoming it: "They're never going to get me out of Senate for this." o

Vice President Bill Jermance said the , - matter would be referred to Rules Committee for a closed-session review since it concerns personnel and that Kleg could address the allegations before the committee, but not on the Senate floor.

Kleg said later that the Senate reaction is

What at first sight appears to be just another routine committee appointment could turn out to be more - that is ifoutspoken history professor, Charles Angeletti, can influence the trustees.

He is bringing with him to the position on the Board of Trustees to the State Colleges a determination to better the quality of life for the student as well as the faculty.

Angeletti said that he believes his outsp0kenness, combined with his years of experience at Metro, will add to his effectiveness.

Angeletti, who was elected in May.after 22 years at MSC, was at the center of election disputes relating to the position he now holds.

Angeletti accused the Faculty Senate of mishandling the original electoral process that left Charles E. Allbee, chair of the English department, the victor by four votes. It was only after Angeletti's complaints, including accusations that votes were lost because of "careless mishandling of the signature sheet and ballots," that MSC President Thomas Brewer agreed to hold a runoff election.

"The students ran a fairer election than we did," Angeletti said at the time.

One of his goals is to push for needed recognition ofhard-working faculty.

"The system has to make some real, and not symbolic, gestures for faculty members," Angeletti said Angeletti says his commitment, however, is to Metro and its role and mission.

"I do not want tc· see Metro stray from its nontraditional urban role," he said Angeletti said there are people

at MSC who would like to see that role changed. He referred to it as "creeping elitism," a phrase that was often used by opponents to a MSC-UCO merger.

"I am concerned about creeping elitism under the guise of faculty evaluation," be said Angeletti feels that the added pressures of evaluations as they exist now only inhibit the teaching process. He would also like to see the new assessment tests reevaluated.

Angeletti said his level of productivity will directly depend upon who the final appointees to the board are.

"Part of the failure of the trustee system in the past [was due to] not enough attention being paid to people appointed by [then governor] Dick Lamm," be said. "He [Gov. Roy Romer] needs to appoint some minorities."

Angeletti feels that appointees that are more familiar with an urban setting as well as an urban institution will better serve Metro.

Faculty from each of the state colleges rotate through the position.

A different college is represented annually. The Trustee is expected to represent the needs of all four institutions, which include: Mesa State College, Western State College, Adams College and Metropolitan State College.

Angeletti plans to visit each of those campuses in September and early October in an effort to familiarize himself with their needs.

He will serve on the board with MSC student, Terry Thomas, who was appointed to serve as the state college's non-voting student representative.

According to Angeletti, it is yet to be seen whether Metro will have an added advantage by having two representatives on the board D

Senate selects off icers Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan

The MSC Senate elected chairmen for the Academic Affairs, Campus Safety, Club Funding and Financial Affairs committees, and new Senate officers at its first mandatory meeting for the 19891990 school term on Aug. 30. _ GerriMadridservedasAcademic Affairs Committee chairwoman

New Campus Safety Chairman Jim Capps said be plans to increase the committee's involvement with Auraria Public Safety.

"We want to address issues like the condition of safety on this campus at night, and try to live up to everything we were elected for,"

Capps said.

Capps is currently co-sponsoring a bill that will provide funds for refreshments at a racial. violence seminar to be presented during Public Safety Week in October.

The Club Funding Committee retained its pro tem chairman, Michael Green, who received praise for his work on the committee over the summer from many Senate members.

"The clubs come first," Green said about his approach to the CFC seat Meicbell Walsh accepted chairmanship of the Financial Affairs Committee and promised to keep the Senate abreast of the committee's activities.

SACAB votes to reorganize Chad Morris

Assistant News Editor

Like the Auraria Board before it, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board decided last week to reorganize its structure and eliminate the Student Facilities Policy Council.

According to SACAB Chair Mark Johnson, disbanding the SFPC would streamline the bond committee's organization.

"It's primarily to eliminate a bureauaatic glitch," be said.

As it stands now, when one of the four bond committees develops an idea, they have to present it to the SFPC - usually two weeks later. The SFPC wouJd either postpone ~ion or approve the idea, be said The idea would then

go to SACAB and from there to the Aurw Board for final approval.

In addition to eliminating the SFPC, Johnson said its old subcommittees would now answer to SACAB, streamlining the system even more.

The Student Union Advisory Boardtouredthestudentunionsof DU, CSU and UNC to get ideas for Auraria's Student Union. They are also developing policies for the Student Union patio area, which will include the Auraria Square Amphitheater.

To finali7.e the reorganization process, the SACAB has planned a one-day retreat on Sept. 23 in Room 330A of the Student Union.

They have invited representatives from the Child Care Center, Student Government, AHEC division directors, the FacuJty Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and all SACAB members.

Police fight grip of stress The Metropolitan

In the early morning hours of Aug. 17, Patrolman David Hayhurst walked away from his squad car and 17 successful years ~· with the Denver Police Department.

Why? Personal stress, the pressure of enormous debts and a feeling that his problems were insurmountable forced Hayhurst into a bizarre escape plan that turned his life upside down and left his career a shambles.

"Police have a situation where they're not supposed to do things the average person does," said Walt Copley, professor of criminal justice at MSC. "We expect them to be something more than human, and when something like this .-- happens it causes some discomfort," he said.

Police officers belong to an elite cl~ of professionals for whom flawless performance is not a goal, but an as.5umption. Humanity is forgotten in the face of split-second decisions and despite the presence of all too real emotions. The result is an extraordinarily high stress level Which, when not attended to, can lead to the desperation Hayhurst experienced.

"As a police officer you're the first line of defense, and in many cases you're on your own," Copley said. "You cannot depend on -;, the public to back you up."

-

His advice to his students who aspire to police wor_k: "The same sort of thing you might tell anyone - seek help. Don't keep it inside."

Most police departments, even the smaller

Would you like t: to be paid to talk on the phone?

ones, have a contract psychologist to help the officers deal with the most troubling aspects of their work, such as shootings.

Counseling is available for personal problems as well, but the officers must seek out the help, Copley said.

"There is currently no kind of screening mechanism to detect problems," he said.

Copley believes the best preparation his students can have for the pressures of police life is to sample it before they make their career decision.

"We really stress the need for internships," he said.

"A few of them [the students] have some unrealistic ideas about what it is really like out there."

For future police officers, Copley suggests a minor in subjects outside criminal justice, or at least a hobby.

"Police officers deal with stress better when they channel it into other things, such as weightlifting and body building. They need a release.

METRO POUT AN

Brewer--•rom pg. 1 -

Brewer added, however, that minority applications to Metro were up more than 40 percent from the previous academic year.

Minority enrollment has been subject to close scrutiny in the past, and as a result has been a priority of the administration.

Prior to his address, Brewer presented awards to outstanding faculty as well as nonfaculty. Faculty categories included Distinguished Service awards and the Gold Key Award which is presented for excellence in teaching. Recipients of the Distinguished Service Awards were nominated by faculty for having gone above and beyond their requirements as instructors. Recipients included: mathematics professor Frieda Holley; Richard Daetwiler, director of the ISDAAB; Mark Falkenhan, president of C~ed Council; the late Greg Pearson, professor of journalism; and Ron Veatch, director of the Counseling Center. Gold Key Awards were presented to Jeff Hurlbut, professor ofchem- Thom11 Brewer. MSC Pruld1nt gives hla 11111 Chemistry, and German professor, Gudrun of the coll1g11ddr111.

education had reached its final year and said faculty lobbying is going to be ~tial. ''Some people believe their commitment to education is over," he said. "We are ranked 41 st in the nation in educational funding and we did prior to the [proposed] commitment."

"The 1990 ~ion [legislative] is going to be very difficult," Brewer added With the coming academic year, Brewer stated he is going to call for the creation of a new school of math and technology as well as conduct a review of the new general education requirements and ~ents.

Multi-cultural and community service requirements also make up his agenda.

Brewer added that he would like to intensify the college's recruitment as well as retention processes.

Standard:

On a more philosophical note, Brewer shifted gears taking a moment to question people's senses of humor, commenting that it is a must in his life. His sense of humor was prevalent throughout his wit-laden ~ "I am leery and suspicious of those people who do not have a sense of humor," Brewer said. "How can anybody have a sense of overwhelming importance . .. we are infinitesimal specks in the universe." In light of this Brewer reminded those attending that his door is and was always open to faculty as well as student concerns.

Brewer also took time to rehash his motto from last year: "METROPRIDE." "We are aggressive and sometimes feisty.

Thati'iwbatpahas'MEIROPRIDE,'"Brewer explained. "We know who we are and where we are going."

Brewer, a self-pronounced ''Trekkie" [a devoted Star Trek fan] concluded with a quote from Star Trek III by simply saying; "And the adventure continues." o

Co-op Center gives real-world training Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

If you're looking for a job related to your chosen major or minor, the Cooperative Internship Center is a great place to start.

Internships provide work experience and the chance to explore career options while putting ~oom theory into practice.

As far as advantages for the student go, Director Susan Warren Lanman said that depenm a lot on the student.

"Each person has their own needs and objectives, and they may be significantly different," she said. "Not all students come in here with their end goal being a permanent job. Initially, many are interested in tuition assistance and in meeting living expenses."

However, surveys mailed to co-op participants after graduation reflect that one-third have gone on to full-time positions with their co-op employer.

For students just looking for a job, Lanman would like to stress that the co-op is an academic program - not a job placement program.

"Our purpose is to significantly contribute to the student's academic program."

Concerning the results of co-op programs nationwide, I .a.nman said, "Our data matches.

There's no question that it's helpful to students looking beyond graduation. But it also benefits those going on to graduate and professional programs. Having the experience makes them more attractive candidates for fellowships and doctoral programs. Some

and MSC Studtnl Activities • 55'>-2595

Thirsty's

Minority students may receive an added benefit by working through the co-op. Many employers look to cooperative education programs for help in meeting their affirmative action goals. The co-op also helps employers to become more involved with the academic community by allowing them to actively express what types of training are the most important to their business.

More than 1,000 co-op programs exist across the country. Some schools hold mass orientations.

"That's not our emphasis," said Lanman.

"Our emphasis is on providing individualized counseling to meet individualized needs."

With more than 2,000 students enrolled in the co-op per semester, I .anman said that she and her staff pride themselves in treating all of the students as individuals.

"They deserve the very best," she said. " I have tremendous admiration for Metro students. Many go to school against great odds.

They are very committed and serious about what they're doing."

These are the requirements for the program: applicants must be Metro students, have a declared major, be a sophomore, junior or first-semester senior, have a GPA of 2.5 or higher, and complete at least 12 credit hours per year.

The length of a placement is determined between the employer and the student. Coop jobs are based on three types_of schedules.

Life's a game - for MSC gamers Betty Lewis

The Metropolitan

Fortr~ America, Axis & Allies, Cosmic Encounter, Paranoia. ME.RPS, Johnny Reb - do these names sound familiar'? Well, to one group of students they are part of everyday conversation.

They are members of the Auraria Gamers, a unique club that has existed on campus for 12 years. Located in the Student Union, Room 351E, the Gamers - you~ it ·- play games. Some of their games, such as Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly and Risk, are familiar to the novice, but the Auraria Gamers play these and a variety of much more complex games: Battletech, ASL and Kingmaster, and historic miniatures in which replicas representing army figures are used to recreate battles.

"Miniatures give everyone a chance to be an armchair general," said gamer Bob Chase.

But the most difficult and sophisticated games are the role-playing games.

"When most people think of role-playing, they think of D&D [Dungeons and Dragons]," said club president David Morgan

"It goes in cycles," said Morgan. "For three or four years there's a lot of members, and then it dwindles down to five or six membel'S." Currently, 20 members strong, the Gamers enjoy many club benefits. For an annual fee 11t 61m1r1 pg. 13

...

'l r:tETROP~~I;.~:

"They are games in which a character and scenario are created by the game master and carried out by players as an adventure on a board with dice."

Some role-playing games can continue for a long time and are known to gamers as "campaigning." Gaming lore has it that an aswciate editor of a leading gamer maga·zine, Dragon [creators of D&D], has been leading a campaign of D&D for the past 15 years.

"In role-playing you're supposed to be acting and speaking as a certain character, and that takes a lot of concentration," said gamer Bud Roberts.

So, why would a student join a club like this?

"It's a social activity," said Morgan. "If you can overlook the religious fanatics and bad pr~ certain games like D&D have received, you will see that these games are played by intelligent people."

According to club members, gamers tend to do better in school than the average student because games exercise the mind.

"Games teach you strategy, and strategy helps you throughout life," said gamer Scott Snodgrass. "I enjoy playing because it gives me a challenge. I like to find the loopholes in the rules."

Every spring, the Auraria Gamers host a convention. For the last four years it's been called MiSConception and has drawn some 400 gamers.

OP/ED Stranger Than Fiction

By Chad Morris I couldn't help noticing that aside from all the construction, walking around this campus is like walking through a living Levi's 501 commercial.

Everywhere you look there are the poor, .unfortunate victims of an advertising executive's wet dream: a kaleidescope of blue, stonewashed, frosted and black denim with just the right amount of pseudo-hip dialogue to go with it.

In short, I think this whole advertising thing is getting out of hand.

Now, I don't want to sound too ungrateful. I mean without all these ads, who would know when the best sales are? And, once we had the product firmly in hand - and our money safely in theirs - how else would we know what sort of lifestyle went with the product?

As always, some of the worst offenders are beer commercials. I started worrying when I read an interview with movie director Stanley Kubrick in which he said he really liked the Michelob commercials. You know, the ones with Phil Collins singing his standard pop gibberish amidst two-second shots of sleekly clad models having the time of their lives drinking beer.

Of course, all of this may seem very trite. I'm certain someone out there is saying: "Oh great, another column about advertising ... big deal."

I say the same thing all the time. Everyone claims to hate advertising. They hate commercials; they hate previews before the movie; they hate billboards, and especially [my personal favorite] those ads in the paper that look like news stories.

Fine, everyone hates advertising. But how many of you bought the clothes you're wearing because of an advertisement? Or your perfume or cologne? Or the beer, wine cooler or wine you drink?

How many of you have bought a product because you like the product or you liked the image that was presented along with it?

But it's hard, isn't it? The people in advertisements look like they're having so much fun. If you wear Levi's Dockers, it foilows that you will spend your work days sitting around a table discussing nothing in particular and making tons of money to go buy more Dockers. It doesn't sound too bad to me, either, but I wouldn't buy the damn pants, because they're cut all wrong for me.

Folks, we've really got to do something about this before we become characters in a cyberpunk novel. We can't say "blender" without including the brand name.

Yet, even as you read this, providing you've gotten this far, the advertising people are dreaming up new ways to take your money. Techniques like micromarketing are already in effect. Micro-marketing targets very specific groups, like minorities, women, teen-agers and, yes, even our children . They offer the same products to different demographic groups using different ad campaigns.

There's even a plan to use satellites in orbit to beam advertisements down to grocery stores. that will have TV monitors mounted on the grocery carts. Imagine the convenience, though . Just as you pass the Listerine, a message comes on telling you about gingivitis, "an often painless gum disease" that you can cure by using, that's right, Listerine. Lucky you caught that ad in tirn,e, eh?

Unfortunately, I don't have any pat answers for a problem that probably doesn't have a cure. I could suggest never buying anything that you see in an ad, but then we'd all be naked, hungry and sober.

I would, however, like to see restrictions similar to those on cigarette and hard-liquor ads. I'd like to limit the places someone could advertise a product. And I'd really like to eliminate previews on videotapes.

But I see by looking at my bright yellow Gruen diving watch that it's time to turn my Brother typewriter off, pull on my Keds and Official Batman sweatshirt and grab a Lowenbrau out of the Frigidaire. After all, tonight is kind of special.

LETTERS

Kleg defends statements Editor, During the last Senate meeting, I was accused of making racist remarks in a class last February. The allegations were put before the Senate; however, the president of the Senate found it fit to deny me the right to respond to the allegations.

Last February in an MSC class, the lack of black police officers in the black gang areas was discussed.

To the student next to me I remarked, "They [the Denver Police Department] are probably doing it for a stupid reason such as you cannot see black police officers at night." The intent behind this remark was to point out the stupidity of the Denver Police Department for allowing a problem in the black community to be "solved" by white police officers who have no knowledge or appreciation of black culture and problems.in the black community. In fact, the only things the white officers bring into the situation are biases about the black community. This is not to say that whites should not work in black areas. Rather, whites should work in black areas to overcome biases. However, black members of the Denver Police Department should be assigned to work with the white officers in order to help them understand black culture in a manner that would

not result in undue bias and hostility in white officer/ black community relations.

I think that the students of Metropolitan State College should become aware of this ASMSC Senator's track record on race relations. Durina the fall of 1988 this Senator authored an affirmative action bill that was designed to recruit minority students by the ASMSC Senate to serve in Student Government. On August 16, 1989, at a Senate meeting this Senator expressed concern about cultural bias in assessment testing. In fact it was suggested that an outside agency examine the new tests for any such bias.

I find it unfortunate that the comment I made in Feb. ruary was taken out of context and distorted to be made to sound like a racist remark. I apologize to anyone who misunderstood the remark to have been racist in nature and for any grief possibly suffered. As a member of the Club Funding Committee, I look forward to funding many good and constructive racial awareness programs by the Black Student Alliance. I just hope they direct their energies in fighting bigotry where it exists rather than finding it where it does not exist.

-Joel Kleg ASMSC Senator

BSA disputes Kleg's claims Editor, In reading Mr. Kleg's letter to the editor concerning the "alleged racist remarks," I found myself either laughing in disbelief or hissing in disgust.

Come on Joel, get off it! Quit trying to sugarcoat your racist remarks as a misconstrued desire to understand the black race. In case you've forgotten, I was there. As I recall, the question asked by the instructor was "Why, in a predominantly black neighborhood, are white police officers assigned to deal with the gangs instead of black officers?" To which you replied, "Because you can't see them [black officers) at night." Don't you think that the members of the Black Student Alliance have been black long enough to know racism when they see it? Don't tell us where to find racism; IT finds us!

You hint to your record as a Senator in helping to improve conditions for minority students. That all looks

very well on paper, but when was the last time you talked with them? When was the last time you attended a BSA or MECHA meeting? I believe you are very much in need of enlightenment if you believe gangs are part of black culture.

Why would you spend the school's money to bring in an outside agency to tell you about the cultural biases at Metro? All you have to do is ask the minority students. Ask ME. I'll tell you for free!

In closing, you stated that you "look forward to funding many good and constructive racial awareness programs." Be careful, Joel, this time I have it in writing.

- Lisa Calderon Vice President - B1ack Student Alliance

Editor's Note: The Metropolitan does not divulge in advance contents of letters to the editor. Ms. Calderon obtained a copy of Mr. Kleg's letter elsewhere.

Martin welcomes new students Editor, Greetings, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the students to the third week of classes.

Now that you have carved your paths through the rubble of Auraria construction, and a state of confusion looms ever present in the air, it is time to acquaint yourselves with Student Government.

I am Kelly M. Martin, the president of student government. You can find me in room 340C of the Student Union, or at Extension 3256. Bill Jermance is the vice president of Student Government, and may also be contacted in the same office. There is a 25-member Senate to represent you, and a five-member judicial board to keep us all in check. Various campus-wide committees require student representation, and from time to time openings in the Senate and other branches of government will need to be filled by students just like you. Look for an advertisement on pg. 6 of this issue of The Metropolitan. I encourage everyone who wants to

get involved to do so.

The summer has been spent organizing Student Government, and building communication with faculty and administration that had once been torn down. The weekend of August 18th Student Government held a working retreat in Winter Park to familiarize new members with the system, and acquaint ourselves further with the administration of the college. As a sidelight we spent $1,700dollars less than was allotted.

This government believes in saving you money.

We know you have concerns, and Student Government is the place to voice those concerns. I do urge you to get involved, and when you meet a member of ASMSC tell them what you think. We can make a difference together.

Let's have a great year!

- Kelly Mary Martin ASMSC President

EDITORIAL

-Stigma of racism threatens everyone Racism at Auraria is in the news again. Perhaps Joel Kleg's statement was genuinely bigoted; perhaps it is an innocent remark wrongly interpreted. Only Kleg knows the truth.

But isn't it interesting, this problem we all have with racism? Or the iack of it? Or people thinking we are racists even though we're not?

I mean - we're not. are we?

Last summer, I took Introduction to Sociology. Like most intro classes, this was to be a survey touching on subjects like sexual roles, interpersonal relationships and-so forth. But an interesting thing happened in that class - we only talked about one thing - race relations. Specifically the plight of the Hispanic in today's America.

Now you're probably asking yourself: is that really all they talked about, or is he just saying that because he's a racist?

By the way, the instructor was Hispanic.

So that's it, you're thinking now, he didn't like the instructor because he was Hispanic. He is definitely a racist.

When Spike Lee's film "Do The Right Thing" came away from the Cannes Film Festival with no awards, Lee was quoted as saying, "They're always looking for a golden white boy to put a crown on." .c..

Could that be racist, even though it was said by a black man about a white man?

Isn't it possible the film that beat out "Do The Right Thing" was just a better movie?

Could Spike Lee be saying racism prevented him

from winning just to keep a nasty bruise off his ego?

At the end of the semester, I spoke to some of the people in the sociology class. We talked about what we felt were problems with the class: things that went beyond its limited subject matter. Things like: hard-tofollow lectures, vague test questions and the instructor's demand that we buy a poetry book he'd written.

When someone mentioned complaining to the department head, everybody else just shook their heads.

"It wouldn't do any good," someone said. "They'd just say you were being a racist and complaining about the class because of the professor."

These people were afraid to voice a complaint about the school they pay to attend, because they might be called racist.

Last year, the editor of The Metropolitan was confronted by members of the Black Student Alliance who accused her of ignoring "black issues" in the paper.

She had to spend well over an hour in her office with them going over the paper, issue by issue, and pointing out "black" stories.

So does that mean I have to classify all this year's stories by color? Do I need an equal mix of "black" and "brown" stories to offset the "white?" And what if the Lithuanians on campus don't feel they are being fairly represented?

I resent being told I have to decide what stories are newsworthy_ based on how black or white or puce they are, and I'm sure the judges in Cannes resented being told what directors to reward based on what "color" their movies are.

Roy Innis, the New York attorney/black activist who became prominent after the Tawana Brawley incident - and who later started the fight in which Geraldo Rivera's nose was broken - q is a good example of a person who takes racial activism too far the other way.

He embraced Tawana Brawley [who claimed she was raped and beaten by whites in New York in 1988] in front of the cameras and cried ttiat racism was alive and well and living in the hearts of white people everywhere.

Then he hit the talk show circuit, to take up the black struggle coast to coast.

Actions like these do more harm to race relations than good. It is unfortunate that Tawana Brawley was unwilling to talk to the police so an investigation could be launched into the incident. Maybe we would know what really happened instead of what Innis and Bill Cosby [who flew to New York to issue a statement on race relations from Brawley's home] tell us happened.

No one likes to have their beliefs and values questioned. No one enjoys being forced to examine themselves and see some things they don't want to come to terms with. Unfortunately, those who truly are bigoted don't have stickers on their foreheads so everyone else can easily identify them.

So we'll never know who's really racist. Was it the judges at the Cannes Film Festival, or Spike Lee? Is it the instructor of a Sociology 100 class at MSC, or his students?

And this year, when some perceived slight on the part of this paper brings a mob of the offended to my door, who will be the bigot then? Will it be me, or someone who assumes that because I'm white I must be a racist?

Festival's diversity satisfied all 'Taste' Jodie Skinner Photo Editor

Anything a person could possibly want to see and do could be found in downtown Denver's Civic Center Park this weekend. ..A Taste of Colorado," an annual event in its fifth year, proved to be a fun-filled time once again for all who came. Crowds of 100,000 or more swarmed the park every day. Monday, Labor Day, there seemed to be less people, but no less fun.

For most, "A Taste of Colorado" means food from all over the world centralized in one area for a sample of what Denver has to offer.

baby Audra. They hit the food booths as soon as they arrived.

"I tried some of the Indian food," said Marjorie Hofer, " I really like the representation of different nationalities in the food and

using tickets to purchase your food."

day was the best day, it was a little more relaxed.

For some, the artists' work lasted only until the next bath. They were customers of "Lost in Face," who paint designs on faces, etc. This was a big hit with little girls.

Kristen Ferguson asked for a unicorn.

The painter came up with a finished pro- • duct in five minutes that pleased both Ferguson and her mother.

P~ and a long skinny balloon blows up above artist Abbie Lawrence's head. Squeak, squeak and the children's eyes watch in fascination as she twists the balloon into the animal of their choice.

When asked how she does it, Lawrence replied, "A little bit of practice and a whole lot of magic."

Music of all types weaved through the park - from the more famous Kool and the Gang and Juice Newton to smaller local bands. Four stages kept crowds singing and dancing all day for four days.

Once people filled their bellies, there were many things to do to walk off those calories.

Colorado artists displayed and sold their handcrafted items. One vendor said Mon-

But this four-day event over Labor Day weekend was much more than that There was free entertainment for all: concerts, mimes, clowns, a romp through the water and, of course, people-watching.

For a few dollars more, people could take daring rides on one of many carnival rides, have their faces painted, buy balloons made into all sorts of shapes or purchase handcrafted items from Colorado artists.

Doug and Cindy Hahn and family attended last year and said they really liked it. They arrived this year full of anticipation.

"We just got here, but it should be a lot of fun," said Cindy Hahn.

"The pizza is really good," said Steve Stanford who attended with his two daughters, Rachel and Jennifer.

"It is crowded," said Stanford, "but I expected that" Preston and Marjorie Hofer brought their

The Greek comer provided entertainment in the form of a belly dancer, whose gyrations awed men, women and children alike.

On the cooler side, you could head towards the kids' comer. Underneath a tent, musical artists, magicians and clowns entertained children of all ages. And if things got too hot there, a large water fountain was available for romps.

If none of this excited you, you could watch. And watch. And watch. The thousands of people who came to be entertained brought as much entertainment with them as those who came to provide it D

If you were thinking the only thing Metro has to offer you is a chance at a degree, think again.

This year Metro will offer students a chance to hear jazz and classical music, attend a student lecture series, socialize at parties and picnics, and view a film series -all under the direction of the Student Activities Office.

Yolanda Ericksen, the director of student activities, wants students to volunteer, get involved with her staff and the events.

Student Activities is a service meant to complement students' academic experience on campus. It's a program that lends itself to students' involvement through their participation in programming, through the clubs and organil.ations, and through attendance at special events.

"I feel that as a program it exists because we believe that students need a holistic experience. They need to be a part of the college, not just go to Metro."

Student Activities is just one of 18 programs that are funded by student fees. Students pay up to $41 per semester to support student services, and the fee cannot be waived. From these fees, the Student Affairs Board allocates a budget to each program.

Student Activities directs Metro's clubs and organizations, and directs and stages campus events in cooperation with UCO andCCD.

Ericksen plays several roles: administers the budget, oversees all the programming and is an adviser for Student Government.

"I am very interested in making sure that students are aware that we exist. We're very industrious in putting on what we feel is the best program package. We try to look at the traditional student, the nontraditional stu- , dent and the student who may be doing evening classes.

"We really try hard to find out what students want. At the beginning of each semester out at the tables in the Student Union, we hand out surveys to students and have them indicate what they want. We make a real concerted effort to get feedback from students."

Examples of some events scheduled for September are the jazz fusion band Dotsero, appearing in The Mission on the 6th, and a welcome back party on the 15th with the band Innovation playing. On Sept. 21, a Mel Brooks Film Festival begins. The festival will run four weeks and student admismon is $1. The author of the new book "The New Americans," Ulli Steitz.er, will speak to students on Sept 27.

Ericksen said she wants students to understand the value of participating in student activities.

"We know how to produce a show, we know exactly what goes on in terms of producing a show. I don't think we know a , whole lot less than Barry Fey." She's looking for people who are interested in doing anything from cleaning off bulletin boards, to setting up a stage, to escorting the guest lecturers around.

Students interested in volunteering may contact Ericksen or Dennis Bryan at 556-2595.

"I think what I like most about this job is that there is so much flexibility and your imagination is it You get to meet celebrities; you get to pal around with them; you get to_ eat with them." concluded Ericksen.

-=So, if you've been eating alone lately and don't like it much, you no longer have an excuse. Consider yourself invited. Who o knows who you'll meet'!

Women's art makes its mark at DAM Jeff Masias

The Metropolitan

A first-time national exhibition honoring women artists will be showing at the Denver Art Museum until Sept. 10.

The exhibit, "Making Their Mark," presents the talents of 90 artists and is represented by 150 works of painting, sculpture, photography and video.

"Making Their Mark" shows well the talents of women and how they have moved

Edltlr

into the mainstream of the art world.

One visitor commented that the showing was long overdue.

"It's taken women a long time to prove themselves worthy of being able to do anything. With a showing like this it proves women can do it all."

The pieces themselves state that these artists have made a definite mark on the art world A world once dominated by male artists will surely be known as something of the past after this showing. · The collection as a whole shows a vast array of works that are psychologically and autobiographically charged. In some instances the observer can feel the artists personalities emanating from their work.

All of the works are good, but some are truly spectacular.

In "Wheel of Fortune," Audrey Flack presents illusions oflife and death. This piece in particular seems to represent what life is all about - a giant wheel of fortune.

Another outstanding piece is the oil on linen painting, "Salmon Run." In this work artist Melissa Miller shows the beauty of

Other pieces of weaving, fabrics, and collages of steel and tile offer a surprising sense of realism.

There are 150 pieces on display, each offering something for everyone. Feelings ranging from sadness to ecstasy can be felt while looking at the works. No one should be disappointed after seeing this show.

After viewing this collection it will be easy to real~ why each of these artists have made a mark. A mark not to be forgotten.

Busy student big fan of the artist's life Gayle Neyman Copy Editor

A lot of MSC students work full time, but Gloria Vialpando is a full-time student, a single parent, works in the Financial Aid office, and, in what spare time she has left, prepares her artwork for exhibit

Vialpando was born in the tiny New Mexico village of Questa [population 608], near Taos, and many of her paintings and other artwork have a southwestern motif.

Vialpando presently is working mostly with watercolor. But her watercolor has a unique angle. After she paints the picture and while the paper is still wet, she folds it into a fan. The results are vivid, decorative fans suitable for hanging that Vialpando hopes to market as Christmas gifts.

"They can be refolded for mailing, but they are really meant to be decorative," Vialpando said. Adding, with an artist's love for her art, that she hesitates to tell people the fans are refoldable. She's afraid it might damage them.

"I do what I like, I don't try to imitate getting that vital aspect all artists yearn for: anyone," Vialpando said. "I do [paint] exposure.

early season jitters.

"We know we're good. We know that we can play with the best," he said. "[But] we played sluggish and we weren't pacing ourselves."

Lady Kickers .

-·win one, look ahead .

Scott Moore The Metropolitan

The MSC women's soccer team is ready to put its best foot forward this year, but they almost got tripped up in the process last weekend at home.

The good news for the lady kickers, ranked 10th in Division II, was a 2-1 victory over cross-town rival Regis College. The bad news was scoringjust two goals, despite outkicking the Raiders 30-5 in shots on goal. ~ Head Coach Ed Montojo credited this to

Senior Jami Cobb put the Roadrunners up 1-0 in the first half when she nailed the ball into the upper right-hand corner of the opponent's goal from 32 yards out. MSC added to that when senior Tonja Ridgeway won out in a scramble in front of the net, to give Metro a 2-0 lead.

The only breakdown ca.me on a one-on-one breakaway in which Tonya Pacheco scored.

"It was just one of those games, but overall we played well."

Forward Cindi Weishapl and goalie Michelle Carrol round out Montojo's first recruiting class.

"rm expecting big things from our seniors

"This has to be the year," Montojo said.

"It's now or never for these kids. Even they've said 'it's our year'. We had goals to start the season in the top 10, which we've done, and to stay in the top 10. We also want to challenge for a national playoff bid"

this year," Montojo said. "I want Jami to score a lot coming out of the midfield area and I think Tonja can change the pace of a game at any time."

Last year's team finished 11-4-2 and ranked 18th in the nation. Montojo said, to improve upon that, two things are going to have to happen.

On defense, where Leslie Markley, Bobbi Geist, Mischi Jackson and Leslie Zimmerman reside, Montojo predicts the tandem will spell trouble for their opponents this . year· He describes them as strong, experienced and, most of all, stingy.

The Regis game didn't give them much of a chance to prove themselves.

"It was a game we pretty much dominated. [Regis] only got three shots in the first half and two in the second," Montojo said.

"We have to play a full 90 minutes and our offense has to start clicking. We do have an explosiveness if it comes together," he said.

If that happens Montojo predicts that this year's team, with its toughest schedule ever, will put Metro on the map.

Alma College will come to Metro Saturday, Sept. 9, followed by games against Colorado State, Sept. 10 and Colorado Christian College, Sept. 13.

Men's soccer drops two Scott Moore The Metropolitan

.-

Metro State Men's soccer coach Dennis Daly is looking for a few good men.

Hit hard by midsummer casualties that left his troops thin on the front line, Daly was thrust into the head coaching position when incumbent coach Bill Chambers was forced to take a leave of absence for a year. It has left the Roadrunners scrambling.

Last weekend the men had two losses pinned on them in games in which Daly felt MSC had outplayed the opposition. A 2-1 ~ setback at the hands of Colorado School of Mines was followed by a 3-2 overtime loss to Rockhurst College (Missouri) on Labor Day. Despite being 0-2 Daly was pleased with the effort of his team.

One player in particular -

Senior Joe

Okoh - gave his coach something to smile about. He tallied all three goals over the weekend for the inexperienced Roadrunners.

Against Mines, MSC found themselves down early when over-aggressive defense resulted in a penalty kick. Okoh tried to bring his team back but some sloppy play and bad timing never gave them a chance.

Daly felt that Monday's game would be a chance to get one back.

"We weren't ready at all Monday. We were still asleep when we took the field," he said. Rockhurst, the ninth ranked team in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, took advantage of MSC's sleepwalking to jump on top 2-0 before the 10minute mark. Then, after Okoh made it 2-1 , he caught a defensive mistake and stole the breakaway in which Tonya Pacheco scored goalie out of position. A Rockhurst player used his hands to stop Okoh's kick, but

Okoh was awarded a penalty shot and made good on it to tie the score at 2-2 with four minutes to go. In overtime a defensive lapse cost MSC the victory, 3-2.

"It was a slow motion goal that was a real stake to the heart. It really hurt," Daly said.

Although it's been a rough start, Daly thinks things will click soon.

"The make-up of our kids will prevent that," Daly said, referring to a lo~ of confidence.

Other players who will be expected to fill leadership roles are Jim Seamans and Tom Vermilye. Daly said it will be about four or five games to get things clicking, but the leadership is there.

MSC will be at home Saturday, Sept. 9 vs.

Colorado Christian College before hitting o the road for four straight games.
