Webb does not want the Columbus Day Parade to turn into a riot such as last year's Martin Luther King day celebration.

"It may come to the point," Webb said, "where we separate the groups and say if you cross over the line, you have 30 seconds to get back over the line or you will be escorted to a bus and taken to jail."

The student and faculty advisory committees to the Auraria Board will be up for reqewal when the Colorado Legislature convenes for its 1993 session.

The Student Advisory Committee (SACAB ) and the Faculty Advisory Committee (FACAB) to the Auraria Board are subject to repeal in 1993 under the Sunrise/Sunset law. Senator MaryAnne Tebedo, R-Colorado Springs, member of the Sunrise and Sunset Review Committee, said the advisory boards could be repealed if they have outlived their usefulness, do not bold meetings, or if their recommendations have not been instituted. But the Auraria committees, so far, are safe from being repealed.

The review committee July 17 passed a motion that the advisory committees to

the Auraria Board be continued, according to committee minutes.

"The Department of Regulatory Agencies reviewed the advisory boards first," Tebedo said. "Based on their report, we decided that enough of the advisory board's recommendations were being put into effect - that the boards should be continued."

Both SACAB and FACAB were created under Colorado Revised Statute 23-70-102. JoAnn Soker, Auraria Higher Education Center executive vice president for Administration, sa id the statute established an advisory committee of six students and a separate committee of six faculty members. From that membership, each committee selects one individual to serve as a non-voting member of the Auraria Board.

Soker said the mission of the Auraria Board of Directors is to manage the joint non-academic aspects of the Auraria Campus. SACAB's role as advisor to the

Auraria Board therefore focuses on joint non-academic student activities , particularly the use and budgets for space and activities funded out of student bond fees. " Without this advisory group," Soker said, "the Auraria Board would have to devi se another method for soliciting student input into its deliberative process."

FACAB provides a forum for faculty leaders for the three Auraria schools to meet regularly and discuss issues o f common interest, Soker said. Elizabeth Friot, president of the faculty senate and member of FACAB, said that the board is comprised of six members, two from each of the colleges on the Auraria Campus.

"Through FACAB, we have officially designated access of Auraria personnel and committees, thus allowing for our voices to be heard ," Soker said, " This officially established pattern of access and communication helps with problem solving and provides an avenue for redress of grievances."

Student group against Amendment 1 Katerina Ahlfort Staff Writer If voters this November approve the tax lim · taf on amendment access to I I , higher education will be destroyed, according to the Colorado Student Asso. ciation.

The Tax Limitation Amendment

(Amendment 1) would require voters' approval to increase taxes and debts for state and local governments.

"Amendment 1 would put the fate of higher education on the line," said Travis Berry, executive director of the state's student association, in a speech on the Auraria Campus last week.

MSCD is one of the most crowded colleges in Colorado, Berry said, and "a tax limitation would result in programs not worth attending because of outdated equipment and fewer faculty."

Douglas Bruce, author of Amendment I , said the purpose of the amendment is to allow people to vote before the government "takes a bigger

share of our tax rates."

The amendment, Bruce said, would give people a chance to vote on the _ over~ll spend~g of government mopey, and 1t would regulate the growth rates ~ d' ,, or s~en B h LI ~cor ":ig to i::rrry • ~ e ~o me~t growt on co eges oug out e state 1s estimated to be 22.2 percent in the next 10 years. School funding already is failing to keep up with increased student enrollment and inflation, he said.

Matthew Bates, vice president of Public Relations for the association, said if the amendment is passed, future projects within higher education will be decided on by the entire state..

"All new investments for school would require a state wide vote. Imagine having the Western Slope voting on what's being done at Auraria Campus," Bates said.

Bruce said the amendment would limit the cost of higher education for students.

"The amendment should interest the students. If we have a spending limit on

m:.

taxes and fees, it would control raises of tuition fees," Bruce said.

Amendment I does not prohibit tax increase, according to Bruce.

"It has been in place in Colorado Springs for a year and a half, and it works," Bruce said.

The Colorado Student Association's criticism of the amendment, Berry said, is not only based on problems with underpaid staff, but also on the cost of equipment and facilities.

Berry said Bruce is not willing to face the truth about the strained budgets of higher education institutions. · "Federal reports show that higher education today bas severe economical problems," Berry said.

The 35,000 students on the Auraria Campus would have a great impact on the voting outcome, he added.

Thomas Brewer, president of MSCD, said, "I am totally opposed to it (Amendment 1). It will be absolutely devastating to the state ... I think that if it passes the people of this state will be sorely disappointed."

Faculty senate votes no on Amendment 2 Katerina Ahlfort Staff Writer

MSCD Faculty Senate voted no on Amendment 2 at a meeting Sept. 16, saying the amendment would hinder equality in the workplace.

Liz Friot, chairwoman of the Faculty Senate, said the members decided to follow last spring's resolution to support diversity on campus. The resolution, she said, was based on Gov .. Roy Romer's executive order for support of diversity.

Amendment 2 · would prohibit homosexuals, lesbians or bisexuals from claiming minority status or discrimination based on their sexual orientation. The amendment would also make all existing

antidiscrimination laws, which prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, unconstitutional. Voters will decide the fate of Amendment 2 and nine other proposed amendments on Nov. 3.

The majority of the senate, Friot said, believes the individual college, town and city should de~ide whether or not to approve Amendment 2. The amendment should not be imposed on a state level, she said.

The senate's voice vote on Amendment 2 was not unanimous.

"Two or three people voted for the amendment," Friot said.

The voice vote can be altered by a secret vote upon request from the Faculty Senate members.

Before the vote, time was allowed for discussion of the amendment, and according to Friot, several members of the faculty spoke against Amendment 2.

"No one spoke in favor of the amendment," Friot said.

Jodi Wetzel, director of Women's Studies, shared her views on Amendment 2 with the senate before the voting.

According to Wetzel, the amendment is a human rights issue, and she said people should not be able to discriminate aga_inst gays in the context of hiring and renting.

"Equally important to me is the ' home rule,' meaning that people who live in a place should get to determine themselves how to run their lives,'' Wetzel said.

Search committee to select new ombuds officer David Thibodeau The Metropolitan

Hearing complaints and concerns, investigating serious policy and procedure breakdowns and resolving conflicts: these are just a few of the duties that Cheryl Norton's replacement will have to perform.

A seven-person search committee is busy reviewing applications and conducting interviews to fill the shoes of

Norton, MSCD's former ombuds officer.

The ombuds officer is a "problem solver," MSCD President Thomas Brewer said. The officer investigates complaints of students, staff, faculty and administrators in hope of finding and correcting "breakdowns" in the college environment.

"Some people may feel more comfortable going to someone outside the regular administrative chain of command, and that's where the ombuds officer comes in," said Charles Dobbs, assistant to the

News Editor Wanted Journalism Majors and Minors encourage·d to apply Applications Due: Wednesday, October 7 Interviews: Thursday and Friday, October 8 and 9 For more information call 556-836 l or stop by the Student Union room 156

president.

The office of ombudsman originated in Sweden in 1809 and was introduced in the United States in the 1960s. The Swedish word is a descendant of Old Norse ombothsmathr, literally "commission man."

However, as was the case with Norton, ombudsman is not always an appropriate title.

Norton, MSCD's first ombuds officer, began the job in January 1991 and held it through Aug. 17 of this year. She listened to the concerns of more than 150 people during her term as ombuds officer.

She was named chairwoman of the Department of Human Performance, Sport and Leisure Studies and gave up the job of ombuds officer because she said she felt she could no longer remain impartial.

"I couldn ' t be on both sides of the fence," she said.

Dobbs, who put together the search committee, said the half-time position is vacant. But, if somebody has a problem, the president's office can help them.

Four people, all MSCD employees, submitted applications. Although there is no deadline for filling the position, Dobbs hopes to find a suitable candidate soon.

"My father was a drill sergeant," Dobbs said. " If you walked in with a

problem, he ' d say ' Drop and give me 20.' I don't think that's who you'd want to talk to. Problems can't be solved with a push-up."

Problems can, however, be solved with persuasion and logical conclusion, Norton said. Although the position has no formal authority, the om buds officer does have the ability to cut through the red tape and access information quickly.

"You don't have to wait in financial aid lines," Norton said.

In addition to financial aid, concerns revealed to the ombuds officer at MSCD consist of confusion of processes, grades , faculty , tuition matters and sexual harassment, Norton said.

Reasons for visiting the ombuds office vary. In the case of sexual harassment, if students feel they have been harassed, they may want to explore their options before going through the formal process of filing with Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action office, Norton said.

"It really is an opportunity to dissolve grievances and disputes in a way that protects the confidentiality of the individual ," Norton said . "Things can be resolved without people going away with more bad feelings."

Marchers "Take Back the Night" Sept. 16 in protest of violence against women. About 300 women and men marched from the Auraria Campus to the State Capital Building.

Hero Montilla Jean E. R. Straub The Metropolitan

•

More than 300 demonstrators, mostly women, gathered at the "Take Back the Night" rally Sept. 6, on the Auraria Campus. The demonstration focused on male violence against women.

Marchers began their trek at Ninth Street Park and Colfax Avenue. They marched down Colfax A venue, circled the state capitol, and returned to the park. The demonstrators chanted, "Two, four, six, eight, stop the violence, stop the rape," as they marched.

"I live downtown and I'm really sick of being scared to walk in the middle of the night," said Vanessa Black, a UCO sophomore. She said she is "disgusted" with having to feel fearful of men , and .marched with hope that it would help to make changes.

Feminist author Gloria Anzaldua gave the keynote address. She set the tone for the evening, speaking of oppression caused by male violence towards women, which includes murder, rape, physical and

sexual abuse.

Four speakers, including one 15 year old, talked specifically about physical and sexual abuse that they had suffered.

When she was young, speaker Twana Hill said, her mother had told her women who do not die fighting their rapists must have "wanted it."

She said she felt guilty that-she didn't die after she was abducted and raped at age 13 .

Pat Patterson , a political activist, expressed dissatisfaction with the legal system's failure to protect women.

"I find it absolutely disgusting that a person can do more time for a property crime than for the brutal beating and raping of another human being," she said.

Patterson urged the audience to become familiar with the "pink book," a Colorado legislative directory, and to write or call representatives to effect social change.

Anzaldua echoed Patterson's message about involvement.

"It is not enough to sit up here and talk about it. (We must) surpass the tongue."

Thomas Edison sa id luck is the residue of design, a concept that plays an important role for those hoping to break into the growing field of international trade, said Windham Loopesko, a private consultant in international business.

"Doing research, do ing the preparation and networking will put you in a position in which you can get lucky," Loopesko said Wednesday d uring "Opportunities in the Global Marketplace," the first of three sessions making up the 1992 Denver Career Forum: New Ways to Work. · Loopesko joined panelists Morgan Smith , director of the Colorado International Trade Office and Dr. Karin Millet, director of Educational Services at the World Trade Center, at the St. Francis Center.for the forum.

As well as luck, knowledge of geography, a foreign language, technical education and a tolerance for ambiguity are helpful skills in international business, Millet said.

The a;nount of Colorado businesses involved in international trade has grown 66% in the last two years, said Bill Charland, Rocky Mountain News columnist and moderator for the forum.

The panelists discussed training, networking and business opportunities to an audience of 60-65 students, faculty and community members, many hoping to

become a part of that growing percentage.

Following the panel discussion, there was a question and answer session which helped audience members inquire about their curiosities. Topics covered included fields to study and Denver businesses which are involved in international trade.

"Developing a Business in Denver" is the next forum on Oct. 21. Those who attend this forum can expect to learn abOut the services provided to pelp entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes, said Carol Svendsen, director of Metro on the Mall.

The final session, "White Collar Services: Choices for Professionals," will discuss on Nov . 11 how to use a .tempor;rry service to build n!!w skills and look for full-time jobs.

The forum is co-sponsored by MSCD's Extended Education program, the Au raria Higher Education Center administration and the Rocky Mountain News.

allowed to bring in their children when necessary. But the program goes far beyond the realm of simply a friendly place to work.

The day begins with a meditation to help induce self-confidence and peace of Your Own Design mind. The women also participate in group discussions and have speakers visit to discuss issues such as AIDS prevention and dealing a pizza with police harassment. They also receive training in reading, G.E.D. preparation and Today at WaZee computers. The project also has paid for some women's tuition and books, Erye said.

Many of the women who worked for the project have gone on to full-time jobs and permanent housing, Eyre said.

The program was started in 1989 at the Gathering Place, a day-shelter off East Colfax and has since moved into its own warehouse on Curtis Street.

A unique aspect of the Women's Bean Project is that 55 percent of its funding comes from product sales.

Metro Denver retailers include the Auraria Book Center, Alfalfa's Market, The Wild Oats Market, The Great Harvest Bread Race to 15th Street and Wazee Company and the Harvest Restaurant.

The program relies almost entirely on for great food and drink. volunteers who are needed in a wide variety . of positions, including G.E.D. counseling, computer tutoring, and providing catering service. Drivers are needed to take the women to retailers and to distribute the products.

"We really rely so much on our volunteers. I believe people will want to respond because we are not a band-aid to this situation," Eyre said. ~The greatest gift anyone can give is the gift of knowledge."

People interested in volunteering can The Wazee Lo~ge & Supper Club call 292-1919.

EXPERIENcE

An attitude has been accepted in our country that con~ones homelessness as an institution, a social norm. A large mass of people are being swept beneath the nation's fabric by a bureaucracy that appeases its own conscience with sometimes helpful, but often hurtful and degrading "social programs."

Often, we are told that these people are unwilling to work and unable to learn. Jossy Eyre says beans.

Eyre, a retired nurse and social worker, is the founder of the Women's Bean Project, one of the many participating charitable organizations at Auraria 's Community Service Day in September.

Her program employs homeless and financially desperate women, who are serious about finding a way out. The women package and market gourmet bean soups, made from an ancient strain of Anasazi beans, and are paid $4.25 an hour. Taxes are paid by Eyre. But more importantly, they gain emotional support, education and a feeling of hope, things most folks take for granted, Eyre said.

While employed as a social service worker at emergency shelters, Eyre said she discovered a certain phenomena among the women she was dealing with.

"Every woman who steps in here has a real low self-esteem," Eyre said. "These women have been abused, either sexually, physically or emotionally."

Eyre also said she noticed that while the shelters were teaching women trade skills, the women were unable to get a job, which further depleted their self-confidence.

Jossy Eyre 'The sense of alienation they feel is so pervasive," she said. "They don't have the confidence or the know-how to behave in main stream situations like job interviewing and developing a resume. They simply haven't had the molding, encouragement or support to see themselves as legitimate members of the work force."

Eyre herself is no stranger to homelessness. Born in Holland, her family was forced out of their home during World War II. Her family wandered from shelter to shelter, until finally reaching the United States, she said. This, she added, gave her a personal understanding of the homeless people's plight.

The project was created to specifically address these issues of isolation and hopelessness. The women work without fear of being fired for making mistakes. They are '

~~~~~~COMMENTARY~~~~~~

Perot not worthy of preside~cy FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Columnist Molly Ivins is right. Ross Perot is a Chihuahua and a liar. He is also a manipulator unworthy of the presidency. Perot is yapping again about running for president. Watching Perot decide whether he is in or out of the race is worse than the flap in Fall 1991 over whether Mario Cuomo, Democratic governor of New York, would run for president.

When Perot said he would not be a candidate on July 16, he betrayed more than his die-hard supporters. He betrayed the American public. To manipulate an electorate that is already frustrated and angry at the status quo is disgraceful.

Perot has made a mockery of running for president and has in turn proved himself an inappropriate messenger for addressing issues, such as balancing the budget.

Perot dropped out just five months after he began a grass-roots political campaign unlike any other in recent political history. Even with his unfortunate incident in July when he spoke to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where he referred to blacks as ''you people," Perot was still leading in the polls when he dropped out.

Perot not only ruined the hopes and dreams of millions, he destroyed personal lives. People quit their jobs to work for Perot. He answered this by playing to his ego instead of to the American public and his volunteers.

Perot just did not have the guts to play by the rules and could not deal with what he does to others.

For example, Perot has hired investigators of his own, yet, when he came under the scc..utiny of the media, he got out of the race.

A lot of the pundits were in awe over the Perot

phenomenon. To think that a third party candidate was leading in the polls in July before the November election is unfathomable.

For Perot to play with the public the way he has is unforgivable. Because of him, people lost even more faith in the American political system . Now people have a more valid reason for staying home and not voting.

Perot said he concluded he could not win because the Democratic Party was revitalized and that he did not want to disrupt the process. What does he think the purpose of his campaign was for in the first place? Whether he meant it or not, a campaign such as Perot's disrupts the system like it should.

Wanting to influence the political process and "make" the Democrats and Republicans address the deficit is admirable. But Perot lost all credibility when he announced in July that he would not be a candidate for the presidency.

Now he wants the American public to trust him.

Come on, Perot. Quit your barking and just go home.

Horrors of child abuse, incest disclosed MAMA MARIANI JEAN MARIANI-SEAR

In our society, many people think there is a taboo about incest. In fact, the taboo has been on talking about it. If you see a cockroach on your counter and do not call the exterminator, they do not go away. They get worse. If there are secrets you cannot or do not talk about, they never go away.

A recent series run in the Rocky Mountain News addresses the issue of whether repressed memory is an effective therapeutic tool or whether psychotherapists are abusing it or applying it â&#x20AC;˘ unnecessarily to convince people they have been sexually abused as children.

I know, in my case, I remembered the abuse by my mother's boyfriend, now her husband, which began when I was nine, just 1-1 /2 years younger than my son is now. As I have aged I have come to identify with my mother as she was at the age I am now.

When she was 33, she was a single mother to three children, working two jobs and going to college part-time. I, thank goddess, have only one child, and am receiving unemployment compensation and student loans to go full t ime . My son's father contributes occasional child support. My mother was far from her family-of-origin (by choice) and had lost the child support battle long before.

It was just two years ago that I regained my memories of my mothe'r's second husband . He is now dead by his own hand. He Jived with our family before I could remember much, so my memories come from my aunt's recollections of that period.

I had (have) been curious about what my mother's life was like as a child to so scar her that she would inflict such grievous injuries to her own children. The urge to know has grown steadily along with my own child. My aunt told me of his alcoholism and my natural father's proclivities to run around on my mother.

My aunt only told me this after I told her about what my mother's third husband was like and my life in that living hell I called home. It was only after she refreshed my memory about his drinking and beating up my mother that I remembered his face, his horrible, ratty, red bathrobe and his touch.

The whispered words to a child barely able to talk, "Lay still and I'll get you a pony. Be quiet and you 'll get a horsie." That memory arrived just in time to make Christmas of 1990 very special.

Along with the memory came the realization that my husband, not quite "ex" at that point, strongly resembled my stepfather, and my son strongly resembles his father. I was unconsciously fulfilling my mother's pattern.

I remarried 33 days after my first divorce was final; my mother remarried shortly after her divorce.

Both our husbands (hers and mine) were at least acquainted and friendly before both the divorces and

subsequent remarriages.

Repressed memory can come back with a vengeance, even after almost two decades of being buried. I had tried at one point to grieve my stepfather's suicide as part of a grief-recovery exercise, but I got stuck at the very first step and never knew why . It took two years before the reasons surfaced, and now I hope I may be forgiven for the wish that my stepfather, who had to be identified by dental records, was alive at least part of the time he was being eaten by animals. Maybe he would have some small idea of what I was now going through in recovery.

Strangely, the only memories I had of my first stepfather were good ones, which have been strongly colored by my further recollections of the man. I remembered the magic tricks he would do to amuse children visiting him in the VA hospital where he spent time in treatment for schizophrenia and alcoholism, and that amorphous ailment, shell shock.

I remembered he always promised me a pony, but I couldn't remember under what circumstances.

Now I remember his red bathrobe and I destroy my son's red bathrobe. I am learning to control my desire to hurt my son for his resemblance to this man he never met.

The abuse my mother encouraged and allowed to continue in her house must have been learned at her mother's knee. She learned that she was nothing without a man in her life. She learned that the way you hold onto a man is to feed your girl child to him.

Who taught my grandmother these "survival skills?" Her mother? At this point the cyclical nature of the abuse in families is born home, afresh for me, even while for my son's and grandchildren's sakes I am ending this cycle here. Stopping a century-old juggernaut is not easy.

I respect my mother for having the strength to leave her family-of-origin. I cannot respect her other choices, for they have damaged my brothers and me in ways we have not fully explored the depths of yet.

One of my brothers married a woman much like our mother in attitude, if not behavior. My baby brother is doing 20 years (17 to go) for attempted murder of a teenage mother and her child . I have been in therapy for 3 years, and the end is not in sight. If you have the history, get the help. If you don't, call your parents and th a nk them . Se nd th e m flowers .

Appreciate them: they may have broken the pattern before your birth.

THE METROPOLITAN

LETTERS

.Consequences of Amendment 2

_,.

It was ironic that Glen J . Liberty began his "Vote No on 2" editorial (The Metropolitan, Sept. 11) with the statement , "contrary to popular belief," considering that Mr. Liberty did little than reiterate the bigoted biases of popular belief.

Mr. Liberty is under the erroneous perception that gays and lesbians are asking for special privileges in the form of "special minority rights. " Gays and lesbians have never asked for, nor have they ever been granted the "special minority rights" of which Mr. Liberty speaks. We have never asked to be considered as economically disadvantaged because of our sexual orientation. Our requests for protection have been based on our need for the basic civil rights which most citizens of this country enjoy without question. We are speaking of the right to keep our jobs based on our performance and not to live in fear that we will be fired because someone finds out that we -are gay or lesbian. We are speaking of our right to keep our homes because we are good tenants and not to live in fear that we may be evicted because our spouse is of the same gender.

Mr. Liberty seems to think that with protective legislation that people will try to prove they are gay or lesbian in order to secure special status. On the contrary, even with the protection of laws which guarantee our basic civil rights, many of us spend a great deal of time hiding our gayness so that we will not be the targets of i nsidious and overt discrimination and violence.

Mr. Liberty makes the claim in his argument against protection of gays and lesbians that we are "among the most talented, intelligent, productive and competent members of our society." Surely , Mr. Liberty would believe that as such productive citizens, we deserve the protection of society so that we can go about our professional and personal lives.

I would hope that Mr. Liberty would step back from the bigoted and distorted propaganda of CFV and explore the real consequences of the passage of Amendment 2. Armed with the truth, a moral and conscious person would be compelled to vote no.

Vivian A. Schaefer MSCD student

Amendment 2 denies human rights

5

This election year gives us a truly historic opportunity. We are at the front line of the next civil rights battle, a battle that will determine who is deserving of rights and who is not. The form that this battle is taking in Colorado is the much disputed Amendment No. 2. The debate over this epic piece of legislation is just beginning and the outcome has national•implications. ., First of all, let me state for the record that I am in the unlikely position of agreement with Glen Liberty on the fact that this proposed amendment to the Colorado State Constitution does not take rights away from anyone outright. The danger lies deeper, in the rnore insidious, subtle effects that this measure would provoke if passed.

The most drastic effect of the measure would be to remove the right to govern our own communities from all of us. Coloradoans For Family Values (CFV), a Colorado Springs based organization, has been successful for years in stopping "Gay Rights" legislation in that city . That is their privilege as Colorado Springs residents. This amendment would take away that right of self-determination from the citizens of every other community in Colorado. Is it just me, or is it incredibly arrogant to assume the citizens of Denver, Littleton, Limon and every other municipality in Colorado aren't able to decide how their town or city will deal with this issue?

And , while it's true that , if passed , this amendment will not explicitly deny anyone civil rights, it does allow and encourage people to deny equal housing, employment and treatment opportunities solely because an individual happens to be homosexual. It is possible, even likely, that segregated communities could spring up; questions regarding sexual preference could appear on job applications ; and even separate restrooms and water fountains with the word "Homo" replacing "colored" could spring into existence . And homosexuals would have NO legal recourse against such actions happening. I really hope that we have left those times far, far behind us. It was evil then, and it is evil now.

I am well aware of what this lette( may cost me.

Some of my friends are less tolerant of viewpoints like mine and will surely not associate with me after this. But that is a small cost to pay as opposed to keeping silent and letting this evil spread unchecked. Be aware of what you'll be voting on.

This is not about economics. It is not about "Family Values." It IS about hatred and human rights; human rights everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or preference, deserves.

Kite Festival at Auraria makes participants feel and behave like children at heart Chris Austin The Metropolitan

Three kites that lo9k like something " Star Trek" Captain Picard might have flown in his youth are poised on the field.

The Beatle's hit "Revolution" begins playing over the sound system .. Suddenly and in absolute synchronization, the kites shoot into the sky. Diving, looping, flying wing-tip to wing-tip, as the men at the end of the strings pilot their kites in an aerial ballet. As the song ends, the kites land. The kites even bow to the audience in time with Ringo's cymbal beats.

The " Decorators," a stunt kite team from London, wind up their twine as the "Child at Heart, a Festival of Kites" crowd wanders off to other sites on the Auraria playing fields.

The festival was held Sept. 27 to benefit Human Services Inc., a d iv ision of United Way. The event was co-sponsored

by Alpha Delta Omega, MSCD's human services club.•The "Decorators" were just one of the attractions.

New Zealander Peter Lynn brought his "fuga" (Japanese for blow-fish) kite to the festival. The kite resembles a 20-foot-long wind sock, and children climb in and out of it. Lynn said at a kite festival in England, he bad a record-setting 150 children inside the fuga.

When Lynn was not minding the blowfish , he was either flying an 80-foot long octopus kite or driving a wind-propelled car around the field. The car is steered by a 30foot long parasail.

"Top of the Line," a San Diego based stunt kite team also performed, as well as many local kite designers. Even when the wind did not cooperate, the helium-aided KOOL-FM blimp kept the sky from being Deahn HendrlxaonlThe Metropolitan empty.

Saturday's Child at Heart Festival on the Auraria Campus feaKristi Orcutt, the Human Service Inc. tured an array of kites, such as this rider in the sky. assistant festival coordinator, said the National Kiting Convention in Lubbock, TX, which takes place before the Colorado event helps draw the them to come to Denver," Orcutt said. She added that between 200 and 300 volunteers, as well as many corporate sponsors helped this international flavor to the Denver kite festival.

"The people are already in the country, so it is fairly easy to get years kite festival get off the ground.

A new literature professor arrived at MSCD this fall praising the vitality and variety of the students and faculty.

The professor, Theresa Louise Crater, said she has been having fun teaching at MSCD because of the non-traditional aspect of the school.

"It's good because there isn't all of those fraternities, so it's not another place to act like you're in high school. There's less silliness," she said.

Crater is the author of the book entitled "Descent," a book about when the eastern movement met feminism. She is also working on a book about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

Crater moved to Colorado Springs from Washington after living in Seattle and Olympia for 13 years where she taught at

South Puget Sound Community College and Evergreen State College.

Writing continues to rank high on her agenda for the future with the possibility of her writing a fantasy novel. However, according to Crater, "You have to get tenure before you can write science fiction."

Visiting ScientistS Share wealth. of exp9rience with students interested in similar occupations Jeff Martinez The Metropolitan

This sc hool year, nearly 50,000 elementary school students will have the unique opportunity to visit the moon. Or the dinosau r age. Or a Brazilian rain forest.

The chances will come about as a result of the Colorado Alliance for Science's Visiting Scientist Program.

Based out of MSCD, the program pairs volunteers who use or have used mathematics, science, or technology in

'It's especially important for the students to see women in science, like myself, because there just aren't that many.'

-Roberta Smilnak their careers with classes that are eager to share their experience. The volunteers, who range from technicians and medical professionals to science hobbyists, visit the classes with the common goal of getting students interested in the sciences.

Last year, the program matched over 42,000 stu de nts with 650 Visiting

Scientist volunteers.

Yolanda Holtry, MSCD's coordinator of the mathematical sciences department program, said the demand for visiting scientists this year is right on pace and more than a little overwhelming.

"The response has been un believable," Holtry said. "We've been receiving between I 00 and 120 requests . per day."

Holtry, who pairs the volunteers with the classrooms, mails out the registration packets to nearly every school on the front range just prior to the school year. The teachers fill o ut the forms, which asks what types of visitors they would like to have in their classes and when they may need them. Holtry sends out the same type of form to companies, asking if they would like to participate.

Both parties send the information back to Holtry , who enters it into the computer. When the time comes, Holtry locates the topic in her database and contacts the appropriate volunteer.

Part of what makes this program so unique is the cooperation it receives from the private sector.

Joseph Raab , former associate director for the Colorado Alliance for Science and MSCD professor who is now on sabbatical in Czechoslovakia, said in an interview last May that this unique

relation ship between business and education is what makes the program work.

"Some companies give employees paid time-off to participate because everyone sees there is a real need for help

'We've been receiving between 100 and 120 requests per day.'

-Yolanda Holtry in our science curriculums," Raab said.

Holtry won't divulge the cost to run the program, but said the on ly expense MSCD incurs is for the mailings. She did say, however, that the benefits far outweigh the costs.

"The volunteers are spreading knowledge," Holtry said.

Jim Hatfield, senior software engineer for StorageTek Corp. in Boulder and Visiting Scientist volunteer, concurs.

"This program make s a valuable contribution to the community because it increases science participation in our schools and shows students they can contribute to society through the study of science."

Another Visiting Scientist volunteer,

MSCD professor of Geography Roberta Smilnak, said that in her case, the program is accomplishing more' than just t he obvious. "[The program] expands knowledge, but it also sets up mentoring," Smilnak said. " It' s especially important for the students to see women in science, like myself, because there just aren't that many."

Smilnak said she has enjoyed working with the young students and recalled a time when a 2nd grade class from Hillcrest Elementary in Denver surprised her. " I met with the teacher before the class and we decided to discuss solid waste. When I went to the class , that teacher had them ready. They had even written a book about solid waste and its problems," Smilnak said.

And just what topics do classrooms request the most?

"Wetlands, wildlife, astronomy, and paleontology (dinosaurs). We've even had requests for Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss fitness and Magic Johnson to discuss AIDS," Holtry said. · Has she had any luck getting the Terminator and the Magic Man into the classrooms? " Not yet," said Holtry , " but we 're trying."

SPORTS Men's soccer team knocks off two conference foes 'Runners hope weekend trip to Phoenix will garner national ranking Mike Robuck Sports Editor

The first half was close to perfection for MSCD men 's soccer coach Al Ashton and the Roadrunners Sept. 24 at the Colorado School of Mines.

The team beat Mines 3-0 and the University of Southern Colorado 2-1 Sept.

26 to run its record to 6-0 for the season

'We just took control of Mines in the first half.

That was the best we've played all season.'

-Head Coach Al Ashton

and 3-0 in conference play.

"We just took control of Mines in the first half," Ashton said. "That was the best we've played all season."

MSCD's Leonard Trujillo, a j unior team captain, scored on the first shot the Runners took 50 seconds into the game.

"Our attitude before the game was great," said senior Mike Lockwood, the other team captain. "We came out and just pressured them really hard. Leonard drilled the ball from 30 yards out and their

goalie didn't have a chance. After that, we were all over them."

Adam Smith scored 10 minutes later and again in the second half with nine minutes left in the game.

"Adam was all over the field ," Lockwood said.

The non-conference game was played at night on a Mines field that has given the Roadrunners fits in games past.

"We hadn't played in over a week," said junior Greg Oakley. "We were anxious to play and it's been a while since most of us played under the lights. Al kept telling us before Jhe game that Metro hadn't beat Mines on its field for something like five years. So we were definitely ready to play them."

The Roadrunners lacked the same intensity when they traveled to Pueblo Saturday.

Junior Tim Evans put MSCD on the board 16:25 into the match. Southern Colorado tied the score five minutes later on a penalty kick and Lockwood was left unmarked in front of Southern Colorado's goal six minutes later for the game's final score. ""We went in expecting to win and we weren't ready for them," said sophomore goalie Andy Mosier. "We had our heads somewhere else, and our coach

Ashton said. his team was down after beating Mines and that Southern Colorado dominated the last 10 minutes of play before the first half ended.

have to show up to beat Southern Colorado," Ashton said. "We have to remember that there are no easy games.

Even though Leonard didn't score against Southern Colorado, he put together his best game of the year. We were in jeopardy and he came through."

Ashton said at the beginning of the season that one of the team's goals is to win the Colorado Athletic Conference title. There are some key games left in conference play but the success of the Roadrunners have allowed them to aim a little higher.

The Roadrunners will pack up their bags and load up a bus for a road trip to Phoenix this weekend. MSCD will play Grand Canyon University, a team currently ranked third in the NCAA 's Division II, and last year's Division III champions, the University of CalifomiaSan Diego.

Both games loom large for a MSCD team that is seeking national recognition.

"Our conference doesn't automatically get a bid to play in the NCAA tournament," Ashton said. "If we win one of these two games and then go undefeated in the CAC, we have a remote cltance to be invited to the NCAA tournament. These games are stepping stones for us."

for various therapy groups for students.

One group sounds interesting, but I'm unsure what group therapy really is supposed to be. If I go to a group meeting, do I have to talk and tell everyone about my problems? How could hearing about other people's problems be helpful to me? If I do talk about some problems, what prevents other group members from talking about my probbm to somebody else? What If I don't like someone in the group? What if I want to drop out?

Dear Confused, In a college counsel ing cencer, therapy groups are often a starting point for counseling.

Whether you ar e just sta rtin g. or ar e already involved in counseling, there are some t hings t hat good therapy groups have in common : First, they are safe p laces to share your concerns. You won't be pressured to talk until you're ready. In the meantime, you w ill hear others talk and watch how the group works to support them. You'll learn something by listening and helping others, and you will undoubtedly feel a little less alone w ith any problems you may have.

Second , group members serve each other by providing different perspectives on problem s and by identifying new solutions.

Most true therapy groups are led by one o r mare professionals who are there to ensure that all participants have a safe, caring, and constructive experience.

T hird, therapy groups require members to agree that whatever is said in the group stays in the group. What you say is confidential.

And unlike what happens on the TV shaw, Dear John, members are encouraged not to discuss personal business, even among o ne another, outside of the group.

Fourth, the therapy group experience is not a l ways easy and fun. Groups go through predictable stages that involve members getting to know o ne another and learning to work together, even with people they may not always like. This is one of the beauties of group work, however, because interpersonal problems can be worked out and practiced best in groups, especially w here groups include people of different ages and backgrounds.

Fifth, your anendance is alway.s voluntary.

However, group participation is a commitment that members accept equally. Therefore, if you decide the group is not for you. you have a responsibility to inform the group leader(s) beforehan d an d to give the group the chance to say goodbye before you leave.

So take that first step. Contact the person listed an that group you want to investiga t e. Chances are the group leader(s) will want to meet you by yoursel f first, which serves as an opportunity to ask all the questions you want.

If you would like to submit a question or a comment to this column, please drop it by the MSCD Counseling Center, l~ in CN 203. We DON'T publish names. If you would like a personal response, please include your name and phone number and we'll get back to you.

.Volleyball team spikes conference-opponents First two Colorado Athletic Conference matches pose no problems for the Roadrunners; McMullen says team needs to stay focused during league play Mike Sallier Sports Reporter

The rough schedule in the early portion of this season is going to pay off for the No.8 ranked MSCD women's volleyball team, as they have streaked to an 8-4 record with two impressive victories over conference foes.

The Roadrunners came back from two consecutive weekends on the road in tournaments that showcased top ranked teams. The ' Runners went up against nine teams ranked in the Top 25 out of the 12 teams they have played.

"The early games really helped us," said sophomore middle-blocker Crissy Canada. "They showed us what we can do, but we have to keep our intensity up."

Although the ' Runners found it difficult at times to keep that intensity level up against non-Top 25 teams, they found enough to run past the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs and the University of Southern Colorado, in just three games each, all Colorado Athletic Conference games.

UCCS was the first conference matchup for MSCD last Wednesday, Sept.

23, as the 'Runners came out firing on all cylinders early and broke out to a 2-0 lead, winning 15-8, 15-5.

However, the third game was more difficult as the Roadrunners had to battle through UCCS for a 15-11 win in the game and a 3-0 victory for the match.

"We played pretty good early on," Coach Rhonda McMullen said. "But, there were momentum changes in the third game as our passing was horrible. We hung in there though."

The match against UCCS was a sign of things to come as the Roadrunners went up against USC for their second conference matchup in a match that was almost a carbon copy of the UCCS games.

The match began with MSCD rolling to an early 2-0 lead from good serving and hitting.

"Everyone played well," McMullen said. "We have so much depth I think that we just wore them (USC) down."

The first two games went quickly as MSCD won 15 -3, 15-3 . Although the Roadrunners won the third game 15-4 and the match 3-0, they were sloppy in putting the match away as their intensity level wavered.

"Once we drop our intensity, we have a hard time with teams like this," Canada said.

Overall, it was a good match for the 'Runners as they served 13 aces as well as hit for 35 percent as a team on the way to¡

producing only nine hitting errors in a match that lasted 57 minutes. " We try to set goals for every game," McMullen said. "The team hitting at 35 percent; that's like a baseball team batting at 35 percent. That's pretty good."

With conference games being played now, the ' Runners are eager to get deeper into their schedule. " Playing conference games will be fun, " senior outside hitter Dana Stright said. "Going up against .

Regis is something to look forward to since they are our rivals."

Although the 'R unners have

"Our offense needs to be teams too lightly. more deceptive. But, I'm pretty proud of where we're at right now."

The MSCD women's soccer team played to its third tie of the season Sept.

25 against the Air Force Academy at Auraria fields.

The Roadrunners' sophomore Rosie Durbin scored both of the team's goals on penalty kicks in the second half. Despite more shots on goal, 29 to Air Force's 17, MSCD was unable to put away its conference foe.

In another home conference match-up Sept. 28, the 'Runners lost to the University of Denver 1-0. MSCD is 2-3-3 for the season and 1-1-1 in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

Robinson, Vieng Vongsakoun and Shin Sakura I played well at the tourney.

The club has a division match at Teikyo Loretto Heights University this Saturday.

"Their real quick and skilled," said eight man John Solomon. "Their biggest drawback is that they lack size."

The scrummers are 2-1 in division play and 5-3 overall.

Senior Diane Dibble was named the Colorado Athletic Conference's volleyball player of the week. Dibble helped her team to a 3-0 win over the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs in the
