Libby Becker The Metropolitan Nearly half of the men and women who replied to a 1991 survey conducted by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board said they had experienced some form of sexual harassment.

"Sexual harassment is an issue that isn't swept under the carpet at this institution," said Percy Morehouse, equal opportunity director and assistant to the president at MSCD. Students have the right to learn in an environment free of harassment. To protect this right, MSCD has adopted several policies.to deter harassment of both students and empl_o yees, Morehouse said.

Sexual harassment has many forms. It can involve unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Other examples of harassment include sexist remarks, jokes, behavior or graffiti; persistent requests for unwanted dates; or sexual assault, Morehouse explained.

There are basically two paths people can take if they feel they have been harassed.

One is to confront the harasser and tell him or her to stop, and then go to the appropriate department chair or dean if the situation is not rectified.

Insurance policy details escape most students J. Featherstone The Metropolitan Each semester, full-time students are charged a $165 health insurance premium in addition to registration fees and tuition costs.

James Joy, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said requiring an insurance plan for students is legal.

"When an insurance company grants these type of programs, it ups the cost if only the high-risk students are getting coverage," he said. "Including everyone in the plan represents a balance."

Paul Spangler, insurance analyst for the state's Division of Insurance, said a college can set the policy for its students as to whether they are required to have insurance or not.

"The bottom line is: If it's policy at a school for a student to have insurance, the choices are to get your own insurance, take the school's insurance, or don't go to school," he said.

Students can waive the school's insurance plan, but they must be eligible.

To be eligible to waive the school's insurance, full-time students must provide evidence that they are insured under another comparable plan, said Mable Wilmont, coordinator of student insursee Insurance page 5

ance.

Wilmont said providing evidence of insurance could include showing the MSCD Business Office an insurance card or having the insurer sign an exemption form provided by the office.

"Of the l 0,000 full-time students on campus, we insure around 3,600," she said.

Christina Nguyen, supervisor of student accounts, said the mandatory insurance policy has caused many problems for the Business Office.

"A lot of students pay the premium without knowing they have the insurance," Nguyen said. "Then, they come screaming at us, wanting to waive it. It causes us a lot of extra paperwork."

To waive the insurance program for the spring semester, a form must be completed and submitted to the Business Office by Feb. 11.

Explanation of the benefits of the plan can be difficult to obtain unless students inquire in the right places about what they are paying for. Those who are mandated to have this coverage can get information or services at the Student Health Center at the west side of the Student Union in Room 140.

Southland Life Insurance Co. of Dallas provides the insurance for students under policy number G-3392.

The fall-semester policy expires on Jan. 13. If a student is registered for the spring semester, coverage begins on Jan. 14 and continues until May 25. Summer enrollment gives coverage from May 26 until Aug. 28, when a fall plan would go into effect.

Exclusions of coverage include:

Preferred Provider Institutions:

A semi-private room in a hospital.

Intensive Care Unit charges that don't exceed twice the cost of a semi-private room.

Prescription drugs Psychometric testing and psychotherapy.

Diagnosis or treatment by a radiologist or laboratory.

Ambulance service to the nearest hospital. , Initial artificial limbs replacing natural ones lost while insured.

Pregnancy.

Home Health Care services up to 60 times a year.

Any expenses due to an illness for which treatment was given 180 days preceding the effective date of this insurance.

Charges for spinal manipulation.

Hearing aids or eye glasses.

Newborn baby care that is not care for an illness, injury or congenital disease.

Dental care or Cosmetic surgery.

Injuries received as a result of Varsity sports.

Self-inflicted injuries.

Treatment for injuries incurred during a fight in which the student is the aggressor.

Treatment for illness or injuries incurred as a result of use of narcotics.

Treatment of injuries incurred while flying or parachuting.

Charges for services performed by a relative.

Treatment for injuries or illness incurred while involved in a riot or illegal act.

Weight reduction, control or physical fitness instruction unless it is treatment of an eating disorder.

The cost of insurance for the summer semester is $165. If students want to continue coverage during the summer session, but are not enrolled in classes, they can pay the premium by the deadline date and continue coverage until the fall semester begins.

The deductible for an individual plan is $150 a year. There is a family plan available with a deductible of $450 for a family of three. The cost of a plan that would insure a student and spouse is $819 each semester, with a $300 deductible.

Any services performed at the Student Health Center are covered I 00 percent, in-

eluding lab tests and prescriptions. The Health Center has a pharmacy where prescriptions can be filled, but they must be prescribed by a Health Center physician.

However, a student must have symptoms of a health problem before the insurance comes into play.

"This is an injury and illness plan," Wilmont said. "You can't come in for a check-up or physical without having symptoms of a problem first."

For services performed outside the Health Center, sick care is covered 80 percent, while psychiatric-related charges are cov-

ered 50 percent. Eighty percent of hospital care expenses are reimbursed if one of the seven preferred provider institutions are used.

Care at any other institution would be covered 70 percent.

Provisions of the plan state that a student would be insured when travelling outside the country. However, what the plan doesn't , state is that an injury outside the country that required hospitalization would still be covered for only 70 percent of the costs.

The plan does not cover preventative medicine, such as birth control, but a student would be covered for sterilization, such as tubal ligation or a vasectomy.

If a student were to become seriously injured or die, the policy would pay a maximum of $25,000. Once the $25,000 maximum is met, Southland Insurance would drop the insured, and no coverage would be required for that student.

Out-patient services formental ornervous problems, eating disorders or alcohol-abuse problemsarecovered50percentupto$1,000 a year. Crisis intervention is paid 80 percent for up to seven days a year. There is no insurance coverage for drug treatment.

"The way it was explained to me is that alcohol is legal, but drugs are illegal," Wilmont said.

Insurance claims should be made at the Student Health Center rather than the insurancecompany.Aclaimform will be provided

by Health Center officials. There is a 20-day deadline for the insurance company to be notified from the date the injury or illness occurred.

Some toys have potential risk as Christmas gifts, survey says Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

Toys that pose a potential hazard to children should prompt parents to check their lists twice, according to safety researchers.

Consumers are warned that some toys may not be properly labeled to make holiday shoppers aware of dangers that could prove lethal. The information was provided by a national survey titled ''Trouble in Toyland,'' conducted in part by CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) along with PIRGs from 25 other states.

There are 20 toys on the list ranging form wind-up toys to water balloon kits.

"We've made a lot of progress in the last 20 years,'' said Chuck Malick, CoPIRG legislative director. "We notice that toys that show up on the list get pulled; about half of the ones on last year's list got pulled."

The labeling of the toys may be a major problem, according to the survey. Age limit warnings, even if included, may not make it clear that there is a danger if a child younger than the suggested age plays with the toy.

Some parents may assume that the labeling is only a suggestion for the developmental age of the child and not a warning of danger to a younger child.

Many toys on the list have removable pieces that may be inviting to children who put things in their mouths, posing a danger

of choking, Malick said.

Uninflated balloons or pieces of a broken balloon also are hazardous to children. Balloons, more than any other single product, are involved in choking deaths.

About 15 deaths a year in the U.S. involve toys, and they also are responsible for hundreds of thousands of emergency room injuries, a number that is increasing yearly, according to estimates by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Choke-hazard labeling on toys and other products is currently being considered by theCPSC. "We fully support the CPSC proposal, but the agency has been slow to act and has no time line for when or if the regulations will be finalized," Malick said. "Ifthe parent isn't aware of the hazard, seeing a warning may kind of jog their memory."

The Auraria chapter of CoPIRG was not directly involved with the survey. However, one-third of the refundable $3 fee students pay each semester goes to the state CoPIRG to be used for this and similar legislative efforts.

CoPIR.G, in its state capacity, has called for the passage of the Toy Injury Reduction Act, introduced in Congress by Rep. Cardiss Collins, D-Ill. The bill would require cautionary labeling of toys that may present choking hazards to children under three.

Copies of the survey can be received for $6 from U.S. PIRG, 215 Pennsylvania Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. 20003.

THE FACTS ABOUT TUITION

BY THE CREDIT HOUR The administration is considering going to tuition by the credit hour because it is concerned that the present system is unfair to part time students.

The average part time student takes 6 credit hours per semester. This means it takes them 20 semesters or 10 years to graduate. With the way things are now, that means that if there is a 8% tuition increase every year, the average part time student will pay $12,753.00 The average full time student takes 14 credit hours per semester. This means it takes them 9 semesters (the 9th semester is 8 credit hours). With the way things are now, this means that if there is a 8% tuition increase every year, the average full time student will pay $6469.50 This means to get the same education over a 10 year period, the part time student will pay 97.ll more than the full time stÂľdent.

•

So the administration would like to change from the present "window" system to a tuition by the credit hour system. The idea is not to get more tuitiun money, only to make the system fairer to the part time student. The plan the administration is currently considering is REVENUE NEUTRAL ~ this means the new system will bring in no more tuition than the present system is currently bringing in. Research by the ASMSCD student Senate shows that it is entirely possible that the majority of students will save money under the tuition by the credit hour system.

The following table shows what it cost to go to school at four different schools in the Fall of 1991. Colorado Community College and University of Colorado at Denver are both schools here at Auraria. CCD is a community college, this means it offers only two year degrees. UCO is a university which means in addition to undergraduate degrees, they also offer graduate degree programs. Mesa State College is a college like Metro - this means it offers only undergraduate degrees - but unlike Metro is a rural college on the western slope in Grand Junction with only 4,306 students - there were 17,835 students here at Metro this fall.

...

The table also shows what tuition by the credit hour might look like according to Student Senate research. This data is merely a possibility, and assumes that the students do not change their enrollment habits based on the new rates. Obviously, this is a bad assumption. Some full time students will not be able to afford the new rates, where on the other hand, some part time students might be able to afford to take more credit hours per semester under the new system.

The final column shows as a percentage how much the tuition goes up or down under this possible tuition by the dredit hour plan. However, if students did not change their enrollment on the basis of the new rates, then 63.5% of the students would SPEND LESS under this plan and 36.51 of the students would SPEND MORE under this plan What Tuition and Fees were in the Fall of '91

THE METROPOLITAN

Hanukkah and education connect for teacher Lawrence Jones Editor When the Jews defeated an invasion 2, 125 years ago, they provided an education in courage and faith. Now, an MSCD teacher is doing the same for students.

Hanukkah is being celebrated this week

by Jews throughout the world. It is a time of reflection, dedication and education for the fatih. It is not a "Jewish Christmas," as many believe, but a remembrance of a miracle that occurred after a military victory.

Dr. William Elefant, a part-time instructor at MSCD, is bringing the "miracle of education" to students in his Cognitive Strategies for Analytical Reading class.

Elefant' s new reading strategies were introduced to MSCD students last spring.

The Metropolitan reported on his Maimonidean philosophy in April ("Learning from past provides key to unlocking present" -The Met 4/12/91). It utilizes a method based on an innovative 12th-century educator, Moses Maimonides.

Inspired by the Maimonidean philosophies, Elefant developed his own unique system, which identify the central issue, or "black box," of any article or text so students may more readily utilize it in their studies.

Elefant began to develop his teaching method while in Israel in 1964. Now he has brought this lesson from the past to the

•

.

present.

Jews observe Hanukkah so they, too, may learn from the past.

Roughly 125 years before the birth of Jesus, the Jewish people were being oppressed by the Syrians, who forced them away from their faith and desecrated and vandalized the Temple at Jerusalem. Finally, led by Judah Macabee, the Jews drove out the Syrians.

They then rededicated the temple and wanted to light the grand candelabra, or menorah, in thanks to God for their victory.

They found only enough oil to light the menorah for a day. They prayed for it to last longer, and miraculously, it lasted for eight days. Thus the reason for lighting candles for eight days in observance of Hanukkah.

The root words of Hanukkah stand for dedication and education. Elefant integrates these ideas with his own in educating students, and said he wants to "heal the sickness of ignorance" that has spread throughout American education by bringing what he learned in Israel to students at MSCD. "I want to do something !or America," he said.

Elefant had been trying to introduce his theories here, but it took time. Finally, Douglas Cawley, chair of the reading department, hired him as a part-time instructor.

Elefant praises Cawley as a saint, but Cawley doesn't claim the title.

"I didn't think I did that much ," Cawley

said. "I support him."

Cawley said all he did was treat Elefant with dignity and respect, something all educators deserve. He hired Elefant for an opening in his department after examining his file.

Elefant'smethods may sound confusing to others, but to Cawley they are the same things his department has been teaching, simply using different words - and it works.

"That's the important thing," Cawley said.

According to Elefant' s students, the teaching system works well.

"It's not just possible, it's easy," said Frank Lovejoy, MSCD freshman. "It wasn't anything like I was expecting."

On a warm summer's evening, about 5 p.m., aman boards the elevator in the parking garage and rides to the top. Gym bag in hand, he casually steps out of the elevator, glances around at the empty lot, and starts to slowly undress.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, comes a voice.

"Excuse me, sir. You know we do have dressing facilities in the P.E. building."

Grabbing his clothes, the man dashes back into the waiting elevator and starts dressing on the way down. ''The elevators are glass," Steven Bowen points out. "He's going down dressing as people are (watching)," he chuckles.

The stage for this scene is the Auraria Parking and Transportation Center. Cameras rolling, the director, Bowen, 28, sits in a little glass office in the corner of the parking garage every night, his eyes glued to the 16 television screens in front of him. Bowen is no Steven Speilberg, but then Auraria campus is no Hollywood, either. And every night, through the camera's eye, Bowen focuses on the humorous scene of how human beings act when they don 'tknow anyone

is watching.

"I've caught many people fornicating.

I've caught about two or three a month," Bowen said without smiling.

He said that the only time he's stopped anyone from having sex in their car was on the Fourth of July, when the garage had closed late for the holiday festivities.

Bowen explained that, during a routine security check, he and another dispatcher were recording the license plate numbers of cars still parked in the garage. Bowen shined his flashlight on a car and disturbed the occupants inside.

Innocently, the couple grumbled, "We're allowed to park here."

Bowen replied: "You were allowed to park here, but it's 2 a.m. You're going to have to leave. I guess if you want to do this, you're welcome to do it anywhere else but here."

Bowen, a night dispatcher for the AHEC Division of Parking and Public Safety, can speak to anyone in the garage through his two-way sound system, and they can speak to him. He also can see even the most remote comers of the garage, with the help of the 64 see Garage page 24

PEOPLE Student assumes Miss Black Colorado title Cari Lampshire

<-

(

.•

The Metropolitan Lynn Marie Kelley, 20, an MSCD student, has been named the new Miss Black Colorado USA after a controversial dethroning of the reigning queen.

Cameo Diggs was forced to step down Oct. 16 for violating seven of 28 pageant rules including insubordination, inappropriate dress and discussing confidential pagean.t business with others, according to pageant director Theresa · Hailey.

Kelley, second runner-up, was sworn in Nov. 2 after Pam Bailey, first runner-up, could not be reached by pageant officials.

Hailey said she notified Bailey of the September meeting regarding Diggs' suspension and the possible transfer of title.

When Bailey did not attend the meeting or call pageant officials to inquire of the outcome and she could not be reached, Hailey said Lynn Marie Kelley she thought Bailey was either unavailable to assume the title or uninterested.

Hailey contacted the pageant's board of advisers and they supported the dethroning of Diggs but were worried that it would look as if they "passed over" Bailey in favor of Kelley. Pageant officials scheduled a meeting to decide how to transfer the crown from Kelley to Bailey as professionally as possible. Hailey said five officials, including herself, notified Bailey of the meeting and she told all of them that she would be there.

Bailey did not attend the meeting but sent a representative who refused to identify himself and denied to Hailey at first that he

was recording the meeting, when in fact he was, according to her. The board of advisers then suggested that the meeting be terminated "for their own protection" and Kelley remained the queen.

"I was upset and really hurt that after we had arranged the meeting to transfer the crown," Hailey said, "she not only had the audacity not to show up, but sent someone to secretly record the meeting."

drop the lawsuit she has filed against Diggs for the return of the crown and sash, Hailey said she is not yet willing to do that.

"Cameo is still going around impersonating Miss Black Colorado USA," she said.

In the meantime, Kelley said she sees her title as Miss Black Colorado USA as an opportunity to be a positive role model for teen-agers. She said she plans on going to local junior higrr and high schools to speak to the students about issues such as gangs, drugs and teen pregnancy.

"A lot of my friends turned towards gangs and drugs and a lot of them had babies while we were still in school," she said.

Kelley recently completed training for a

volunteer program called "Empowerment" which helps girls between the ages of9 and 19 who are at high risk of being involved in gangs, or are in a gang and want out.

"Stay clear of gangs and don't get involved with drugs. Be strong. Be smart. And always finish what you start," is Kelley's advice to children and teen-agers.

Before buying Kelley a new sash, Hailey said that the pageant is considering redesigning it but must have the approval of the national pageant.

"It's going to be a new sash, new crown and new queen, and we're moving on," Kelley said. Kelley will represent Colorado 0 in the Miss Black USA pageant.

MSCD is also home to Miss Colorado USA L.M. Pollock The Metropolitan

Kelley said she had agreed to step down because she felt that maybe the situation wasn't handled correctly, but now she feels it is in the best interest of the pageant for her to remain Miss Black Colorado USA. Kelley said she was not shocked when Diggs appeared wearing her crown and sash on the Maury Povich talk show when the two of them, along with Bailey and Hailey, were guests on the show.

"She has said, and probably will continue to say, that as far as she's concerned, she is still Miss Black Colorado USA," Kelly said.

Although pageant officials have advised Hailey to "let bygones be bygones" and to

The spotlight found its way to an MSCD senior Nov. 17 when Laura DeWilde was crowned Miss Colorado USA 1992 .

As the finalists were being called, DeWilde said all she could think was, "God, just this once, let it be me."

In an instant her dream became a reality and now she will be heading off to the national Miss USA pageant held in Wichita, Kan. The pageant will be televiseg live from Wichita on Feb. 4.

EDITORIAL

Now is time to reflect on selves Lawrence Jones Editor

There is one thing fundamentally wrong with college students. We think like college students.

The college is guilty of promoting this idea, and we are guilty for buying into it. It is a shame, really. All sides -the administration, the teachers and the studentswaste what could be a period of great learning by behaving as if we were in school.

Think about it.

When we began school at the age of 5 or 6, we needed molding and teaching. We had to learn how to behave and socialize. We needed basic skills that would help us survive in our complex world, and hopefully we acquired them. We passed through grade school and into high school, where we began to explore our dreams and ambitions. Then we came to college.

Not all of-us came here directly. Some did come straight from high school, but many of us experienced a bit of the outside world first. There we learned that what happens here, at the institutions of higher learning, really doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter how we got here or what kind of grades we escape this academic world with; what matters is what we DO and how we act after we have made that escape. Unfortunately, many seem very unclear as to what that means.

Where is it written in the college catalog that we must behave like students, like children, like immature individuals who want to brainlessly shuttle through classes and behave like asses during our free time?

Doesn't it make more sense that we should behave as

adults? Doesn't it seem more logical and clear that we Consider this, student government.

GO\IT.

Editor, It's about time some a~ention was given to the fact that student votes are not binding (Referendums not binding: The Met Nov. 22). This should be an outrage.

When students at CU-Boulder voted in 1982 to assess themselves a $3 CoPIRG fee to lobby on environmental and consumer issues, the CU Board of Regents turned them down. What happened to DEMOCRACY? We are citizens who pay taxes, tuition, and student fees, and should have decision-making power over how these monies are spent, or if we want to pay them at all. Sure, student government is given a little money to play with in their little sandbox, but students are NOT sufficiently represented where the most important decisions are made that directly affect us. Students are not represented in the student grievance process, in curriculum decisions, on the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, on enrollment issues, on student fees, or on higher education funding. Our student trustee doesn't even have a vote on the Board of Trustees. Who pays for higher education anyway?

VIEWPOINTS Male or female, racism is racism As an African-American male, I witness and experience racism everyday. I have recently been informed that African-American females experience a "dual" oppression of racism combined with sexism by virtue of being Black and female. I have no problem with seeing how one might logically arrive at this conclusion, but I am concerned about what the idea of African-American female dual oppression suggests about African-American males.

To say that African-American women are dually oppressed is to suggest, directly or indirectly, that they are more oppressed than their male counterparts. If one believes, thinks and or assumes that AfricanAmerican females are more oppressed ih this society than African-American males, then one might believe, think and/or assume that African-American males experience some sort of privilege in this society reserved for Whites. This belief, thought and/or assumption is incorrect and a brief socio-historical examination of the Black Experience in America, with primary attention being paid to African-American males, can refute this notion.

First we will examine the labor roles of AfricanAmerican males, after northern migration. Here we find African-American males who were fortunate enough to receive employment, assuming jobs that were traditionally performed by White males. The majority of African-American males performed blue collar labor as opposed to the majority of AfricanAmerican females performing domestic work, which is associated with subservience. While African-American males were not subjected to subservience, they did experience economic exploitation. African-American males historically have been paid drastically less than White males for performing the same degree and amount of-tabor for no other reason than being-61ack.

Secondly, African-American males have fought and died in every military conflict the United States has conducted and participated in. From the Revolutionary War to the Korean War, as slaves and as "free" men, African-American males have fought and died for the ideals of democracy and justice while not having these ideals legally ensured to them under the Constitution

of this country. It is also important to remember that African-American males served in segregated militaries up until the Vietnam Conflict for less pay than White males. To add to this injustice, during the Vietnam Conflict, African-American males composed 25 percent of the battlefield casualties while only composing five percent of the United States domestic population.

This is blatant perverse exploitation.

After briefly re-examining the Black Experience in America, we can now safely conclude that AfricanAmerican males have had the privilege of being exploited. In no way am I trying to suggest that AfricanAmerican males have been exploited and suffered more than African-American females. This is the very misconception that I am trying to eradicate. If we are under the notion that African-American females have been more oppressed than African-American males, then we will falsely assume that there are different degrees of oppression in the African-American community. This assumption has the potential of causing division in the African-American community which is counterproductive to the African-American struggle for equality. It is more correct for one to believe, think and or assume that racism imposed or inflicted on any member of the African-American community, regardless of sex, is an attack against the group, not the individual.

To sum it up, African-American females and males have been - and still are - oppressed in different "fashion" due only to their difference in anatomy. The source of their "custom tailored" oppression is racism administered by Whites. Thus, we can conclude that African-American females and males are equal in this society because of their common experience of racial oppression. When we can look past the superficial of the "custom tailored" oppression experienced by African-American females and males, we come to realize that African-American females and males have more in common with each other than anyone else. They both share the burden of living under racism

America faces a tyranny of Supreme Court justice Of 105 past Supreme Court justices, all have belonged to political parties: Federalist, Whig, Democrat-Republican, Democrat or Republican. Clarence Thomas is now the eighth Republican and likely the seventh conservative on the court.

There should never be a seventh conservative on the court for the same reason that there should never be a seventh liberal or even a sixth. The best seven liberals available or the best seven conservatives available would each engender deeply abusive courts.

There should be several centrists; real centrists, not posers conspiring to prepare the way for further packing.

Democracy thrives on diversity.

It is ethically obscene for Presidents Reagan and Bush to pack an entire branch of government with "politically correct" conservatives. Democrats FDR and Truman made deliberate compromise appointments because of imbalanced courts at parallel points of Court history. FDR promoted moderately conservative Republican Harlan Stone to the doubly powerful chief justice position, and Truman appointed moderately conservative Republican Howard Burton. These were not "mistakes" - their politics were known, they have impressive conservative records.

Bush appears to plot an all-conservative court, mostly youthful. Conceivably, the court with Thomas will be the most imbalanced since George Washington's all-Federalist court, but that was 200 years ago. It has since evolved into a superpolitical institution expressing its politics not through the parties but through liberalism and conservatism. It can never again be

13

THE METROPOLITAN

December 6, 1991

non-political for the same reason we cannot back the water up Niagara Falls. Thus, it must never be all liberal or all conservative, or even heavily imbalanced as today.

Why does Bush deal conservatism a seventh ace? With the soon-coming resignation of 82-year-old Justice Blackmun, Bush will likely deal himself an eighth ace - unless people scream bloody murder.

The court is already obscenely packed-what point in an eighth ace, even a ninth? He actually threatens the legitimacy of the conservative court already formed.

Assume the court has been on best behavior waiting for the predictable eminent replacement of three 82-year-old liberals by conservatives. The work is nearly done. Expect Hell to break loose soon. We're locked in for four or five decades of judicial tyrannyone dictatorship under the Supreme Court. Furthermore, some justices will wait to resign during the term of a president of "appropriate" politics, thus perpetuating their seats in the conservative column for several generations. Are you ready for the Hundred Years Court? It.is possible.

The political makeup of the court comes entirely potluck. By vast majorities the Democrats control both houses of Congress, the vast majority of state House seats, Senate seats and even governorships. For winning one theater in six, Republican presidents pack the third branch, the judicial. Thousands of elections ignored, only one really matters? Apparently. With an imperial presidency, are we truly a democracy?

"The wolf has bad a bad rap since the beginning of time but we have no excuses now. The wolf belongs in the wild," McFarland said.

The front row of seats in the classroom was empty as McFarland spoke on Nov. 26. Ashley alternated with pacing before them and curling into a ball at McFarland's feet.

Both guests held the attention of the students.

History resides in I have a wonderful relationship with my husband and am doing exceptionally well in school. My life goes well during most of the year, that is, until the holiday season. It seems that the pressure and stress begin to mount about this time and the people in my life begin to expect too much of me, especially my in-laws. I develop intense guilt the few times I manage to set limits. When the guilt gets to me, my limits go out the window and I get mad at myself. By the new year, I get so frustrated and angry that I blow up at everyone, make my New Year's resolution to get my life back together, and take charge to feel great again.

What can I do to prevent this emotional roller coaster ride during the holidays?

Feeling Crazy Dear Feeling Crazy, The holiday season does provide opportunities for feeling more pressure and stress. Many people view this time of the year as one to spend with friends and loved ones. This includes parties, dinners, and other added activities that require planning, preparation, time, and energy for everyone concerned. What starts out as a good intention quickly turns into an unwanted obligation. The amount of stress and resentment accumulates with each experience of this tyjle.

It is important to closely monitor the things that effect our stress level, especially during the holidays. Here are several tips to follow to protect you from overdoing and ending up feeling miserable.

The Metropolitan Many people are surprised to learn that Denver played an important part in the early life of fonner Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. Few p~ople realize that the house she lived in is right here on Auraria Campus.

And almost no one is aware that this house is quite possibly one of the most "welltraveled" houses in the world.

The Auraria Foundation, with the assistance of the MSCD technical communications department, has produced a videotape to help raise funds to complete work on the Golda Meir house, which was moved to the north end of the historic Ninth Street Park in the summer of 1990. The move ended a nine-year journey that took the dwelling to three different sites around the city.

The three-room duplex, built in 1912, was originally located on 16th Avenue and Julian Street, where Meir Jived with her sister's family from 1913 until 1915.

Scheduled for demolition in 1981 , the house was moved by a group of concerned citizens to a site near West Florida Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive. For political and financial reasons, it was uprooted again and moved to West Louisiana Avenue and South Lipan Street. There, it sat on its moving rig waiting to be placed on a foundation. Again, due to lack of funds, the foundation was

When the Auraria Foundation became involved in the preservation effort, the house once again took to the road, but this trip would prove to be its last. It had found a pennanent "home" on the Ninth Street Park.

The 80-year-old dwelling was placed on a new foundation and the outside was restored and landscaped. Money needed to restore the inside is not available.

The video program, produced entirely by volunteers, gives a brief history of the house and explains what still needs to be done. It is slated for completion early next spring, and will be shown to organizations in this country and organizations in Israel - anyone

6. Do special things for yourself.

You do special things for those who are dear to you but aren't you important too?

7. Watch the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" at least once during the holiday season. When things seem impossible, it can help to create a more positive perspective on life.

3. Nutrition, rest, and health are more critical during the holiday season because of the additonal activity. Set limits regarding your eating and drinking, and allow adequate time for sleep.

5. When you begin to feel overextended, JUST SAY NO! Others may feel disappointed, but they will generally understand after an honest explanation of the circumstances. There is no reason to feel guilty because sometimes that's just the way it is.

willing to help preserve the house.

Plans call for making one side of the duplex into a museum, which will be restored to the way it was when Meir and her family occupied it.

"We have a pretty good idea what the house looked like," said Larry Ambrose, secretary of the Auraria Foundation.

The other half will serve as a conference room. Plans for the newIy constructed 1,200square -foot basement are tentative.

"We think of Golda Meir as someone who never gave up hcpe that there would be peace in the Middle East," Ambrose said, "and that is an idea that is very important to keep alive."

Make this a major priority.

Relaxation is essential to rejuvenate one's energy and attitude.

Reduce end-of-semester stress with biofeedback Traci L. Towery The Metropolitan

Between homework, dates, family; friends, going to work and final exams sometimes you wonder how you can keep up this fast-track pace.

Relax. The Counseling Center is here to help overwhelmed students with its biofeedback program.

What is biofeedback? It is not a transporter malfunction aboard the Starship Enterprise. It is not negative input from your personal dietary counselor.

Biofeedback is an eight-week stress management program available to all students at MSCD. "When you think of the word, it's feedback from your biology," said Barbara Mclntire,seniorcounseloratMSCD'sCounseling Center. She is in charge of the biofeedback program and the two student technicians who operate it.

Mcintire said biofeedback usually means a person is getting feedback from machines that measure certain physiological responses.

"We do biofeedback all the time without machines," Mcintire said. "If you have a pain in your neck, you notice the pain, that's the biofeedback; then the biofeedback training is, you take your hand and kind of rub your neck, or maybe you relax your jaw if you 're feeling tense. So doing what you've learned helps to relieve the pain, and that's

MUSIC REVIEW Jackson reclaims title as King of Pop with 'Dangerous' Jenny Jenny Music Writer

:r

Michael Jackson has been at the forefront of the music scene as a solo artist for the past decade. His music and image have set standards in the music world and trapped him with the formidable task of living up to a reputation that has multiplied infinitely since Thriller catapulted him into unparalleled superstardom.

And now Jackson takes his first step into the '90s, armed with an electrifying creation that highlights his knowledge and adept understanding of music absorbed through his lifelong career in the industry.

Along with Dangerous comes speculation and doubt in the minds of skeptics worldwide. Many critics assume that Jackson's star has faded, leaving behind only a slew of rumors and trash rag stories depicting a weird, paranoid and eccentric superstar. They suggest that his time to shine has past, historically recorded forever in the annals of rock music. But what they have forgotten is that music is what condemned Jackson into tabloid hell in the first place, and his music is all that should really matter.

With Dangerous, released on Nov. 26, Jackson returns to the gritty and raw hunger found on Thriller. Where Bad, (the follow-up to Thriller), was sleekly produced and polished, Dangerous delves into a darker, more mature world full of complex and enigmatic compositions.

Jackson abandoned a proven success formula found in his collaborations with Quincy Jones, but if the first single from Dangerous is any indication, Michaelmania is ready to blow through the roof once again.

Black or White debuted at No. 35, but leaped to No. 3 a week later, taking a quick breather before capturing the top spot. In three short weeks, Black or White charted the quickest ride to No. 1 since The Beatles released Get Back in 1969. And from the sound of things, Dangerous has plenty more where that came from.

Why You Wanna Trip On Me blasts off

But perhaps the best tracks on Danger- be better/But you got to keep the faith." with a metallic guitar that succumbs to a forceful beat and a funkier, Minneapolis- ous are the eloquent, spiritually-inspired Jackson belts out the message, again backed influenced riff.

The woman promptly finished what she was doing and rode back down the elevator, without saying a word.

SPORTS 'D' keys unbeaten women's basketball .

Will Hinton Sports Editor

The MSCD women's basketball team won' t play its first home game at the new Events Center until New Year's Eve. But apparently the Roadrunners don' t need any home cooking to win games.

The ' Runners improved their record to 50 with a championship at the Colorado College Tournament Nov. 29 and 30 and a 82-42 drubbing of Colorado School of Mines Dec. 2.

An 86-71 victory over New Mexico Highlands in the final game of the CC Tourney brought the team its second tournament championship in as many tries.

Under second-year Head Coach Darryl Smith the Roadrunners were impressive as they easily won the Cal-State San Bernardino Tournament Nov. 22 and 23. They beat Northwood Institute 68-47 in the first game and then trounced the host squad 76-43.

Junior guard Cindy Dalton was named to the all-tournament team and sophomore forward Natalie Dittmer played well off the bench, scoring acareer-high 18 points against San Bernardino.

The team then traveled to CC where it defeated Hastings (Neb.) College 78-66 and Highlands for its second championship.

Junior center Holly Roberts played up to her all-american potential and was named the tournament MVP. She dominated in the paint, averaging 20.5 points and 17 .5 rebounds in the two games.

Senior point guard Stephanie Robinson

was also named to the all-tournament squad.

In the Mines tilt, Roberts had 23 points and 12 rebounds as the team increased its MSCD-best winning streak to eight games.

With her sixth rebound of the game, Roberts became the school's career leader in boards.

Smith said the reason for the early suecess is a simple one - defense.

"We'vedonearealgoodjobdefensively," Smith said. "(Opposing teams) don' t get good shots because we're so aggressive."

The stats back up Smith's statements.

The Roadrunners have held the opposition to 30 percent shooting from the floor and 53.8 points per game.

Dittmer agreed that the defense is responsible for the quick start.

"We 're playing great defense," Dittmer said. "We're getting a lot of turnovers and rebounds and turning them into fast breaks."

While the stingy defense is winning the games, the offense has also been a factor.

The Roadrunners have three players Roberts, Robinson and Dalton - averaging double figures and are scoring 77 points per game as a team.

Dittmer singled out the play of Robinson, who is averaging 14 points and 4.5 assists per game.

"I think that we have a lot of leadership, especially with Steph," Dittmersaid.

Robinson agreed that she is playing well, but said that it isthetearnasa whole that has put the 'Runners where they are.

"We' ve got great balance and a good bench," Robinson said. "Plus, we're on a mission."

Llura GragR-T01111 / The Metropolitan That mission is a Natalie Dittmer goes to the hoop as MSCD prepares for road trip.

Santa Willie gives out his Christmas Awards Will Hinton Sports Editor In honor of licking face under the mistletoe, powerful egg nog and the fatman himself, I present to you the semester-ending Christmas edition of the Willie Awards: The Purple Heart/Ankle Award goes to volleyball star Diane Dibble. This woman has played all year with an injured left ankle that should have been in a cast two years ago. She played brilliantly with what doctors have finally discovered to be an extra bone in the joint, a little piece of calcium and marrow that will require off-season surgery.

All "Double-D" did was win second-team All-America honors, despite serious pain every time her Nikes hit the floor. Diane, my darlin', you ' re a great inspiration or a fool, I can't figure out which, but this much I am sure of: You are one helluva tough cookie.

Speaking of volleyball, I would like to take this time to thank the NCAA and give it the Thorn in the Side of My Spike Award.

Once again the NCAA showed it is on the ball and a considerate organization when it waited until four days before Thanksgiving to announce its seedings and sites for the regional tournament, which started Nov. 29.

They could have made the announcements almost a week earlier than they did, but when game preparation and holiday planning are the issue, who cares? Obviously the people at the No one Cares Anyway Association don't. When Assistant Sports Information Director Doug Montgomery called

the NCAA Nov. 20, there was a recording announcing the field, and MSCD wasn't in it. After informing coach Rhonda McMullen and exaspirating over MSCD's absence, Monty called back to complain. Whoops. It seems the Rhodes Scholars at headquarters had accidentally been playing last year's message. What class. Also, while the suspense of a never-ending wait to see if they even made the tourney almost killed the 'Runners, the short notice did do them in as they lost in the first round.

The winner of the Will's Build Award is hooperT.J. Milan. T.J. came to MSCD five long years ago as a skinny guard from Simeon High School in Chicago. After a few meals and a serious ankle injury that kept him from even thinking about exercising, he put on a few pounds. Some of it was muscle, but more of it wasn't, which prompted coach Bob Hull to jokingly say that T.J. had gotten so large that he was going to play him with the centers. Well, the joke was on Hull. With center Dan Kennedy getting three fouls just walking out for the tipoff, Hull decided to experiment and start the 6-foot-3 Milan at power forward. The move has paid off as Milan has come through in a big way in the paint. Problem is, T.J.'s losing weight with every fast break and slimming down again, so now I have to find a new rotund role model to emulate when I throw my big butt around in the post.

Dominating the post is old hat to Holly Roberts, winner of the Monopoly Award.

Monopoly is a board game, and that is just what Roberts plays, the boards. She was

second in the nation in Division II rebounding last season and has grabbed more balls off the glass than any woman in MSCD history. The fact that she achieved this before playing her sixth game as a junior is proof that she runs the show down low. Hey, Holly, can you say All-America?

The Chio Music/Wrong Tune Award goes to Roadrunner pitcher John Bakovich.

This Bach must have had a piano wire snap underneath his flat-top when he took the mound in the annual varsity-alumni game this fall. When the afore mentioned Montgomery, who I kiddingly told had a bounty on his head all that week, stepped up to the plate, Bakovich beaned him with ball four.

It hit Monty in the arm so it couldn't have hurt too bad, considering those Schwarzeneggarian guns that hang from his shoulders (cruel sarcasm, sorry). Seeing as Monty does the stats for the Department of Athletics, Bakovich could have some pretty astounding, or appalling, numbers in 1992.

Bak's one of our better hurlers, but I foresee a possible I 0.00 era and a winless season on

the stat sheets due to some creative math on the part of his victim. John, keep this idea of retaliation in mind if you ever happen to face a certain power hitting sports editor from 60 feet, 6 inches. The pen, as they say, is mightier than the bat.

The Honorary Video Membership Award goes to the CU Buffalows. I know preacher Bill and his boys would rather be eating oranges in Miami on New Year's Day, but perhaps they'll all get free videos for playing in the Blockbuster Bowl instead.

When Miami is crushing Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, the Buffs can throw some popcorn in the microwave and rent Brian's Song to help cheer themselves up.

Finally,thepicture atleftiseither6-foot9 MSCD center Dan Kennedy, Uncle Fester or an escaped lunatic from San Quentin. I think it's Pholoby 111cu1cllonlld Kennedy, but I'm not sure. Dan baby, that's one serious mug. 0

Men's home streak ends guard where he is averaging 14.6 points and 4.2 assists. Lewis has relieved McCoy from off the bench and is averaging 7.2 points and a team-high 5.2 assists. Simms is hitting 14.2 points from the bench and sports a .400 three-point percentage.

The key to the season, however,wm be Head Coach Bob Hull's new frountcourt rotation of senior T.J. Milan and junior Dan Kennedy. Kennedy, who has a history of getting into early foul trouble, has been replaced by Milan in the starting lineup, but the two are sharing time on the court.

Kennedy leads the team with an average of 8 rebounds per game and Milan is averaging 7.6 points and 4.4 boards.

According to Hull, everyone involved is happy with the change.

"T.J. is a fifth-year senior and he's been working hard so we thought we would give him a try," Hull said of the former guard who has adapted his game to the post. "He's responded real well.

"Dan's playing well and getting just as much, if not more, time than he was before."

The 20th-ranked MSCD men's basketball team lostto Cameron (Okla.)University 88-74 Dec. 3, dropping its record to 3-2 on the season and ending its home winning streak at 29 games.

The Roadrunners looked uninspired as the much quicker Cameron squad continually ran by seemingly motionless defenders.

The visitors outhustled MSCD, pulling 14 offensive rebounds and adding 10 steals.

Particularly rough on the 'Runners were CU's Eric Wiley, who had 19 points an lO rebounds, and Sean Thomas. who scored a game-high 27 points.

The loss came on the heels of a successful showing at the MSCD Thanksgiving Tournament Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.

The 'Runners pounded William Penn (Iowa) College 90-61, and then won over Rocky Mountain College 92-78.

The squad started the season in Arizona with a 146-65 laugher over American Indian Bible College Nov. 22, but suffered its first loss of the year the next day to Grand Canyon College, 81-74. The Roadrunners will seek redemption when Grand Canyon visits Denver for the MSCD Christmas Tournament.

As usual, it is senior guard.Ralph Rivers who is leading the way for MSCD. He has been MSCD 's high scorer in every game, averaging 20.2 points and 5.8 rebounds a _game.

Junior forward Ken Turner is also playing well, contributing 15.6 points and 7 .4 boards per game.
