Rev. Jesse Jackson speaks Monday to about 3,000 people at the Student Union Amphitheater. Jackson called on students to continue the fight for human rights and equality. After his speech, Jackson led the crowd to the Denver Election Commission.

Rainbow Coalition leader urges students to stand up for America Joe Chopyak

Copy Editor Calling students to rally for the cause of human rights, Rev . Jesse Jackson Monday inspired the crowd of 3,000 on the Auraria Campus to march to the Denver Election Commission to cast ballots for change.

Students from campus organizations warmed the crowd before Jackson spoke.

Jeff Davidson, a leader of the Auraria Gay and -Lesbian Task Force, implored students to vote against Amendment 2, an initiative on the Nov. 3 ballot that would refuse gays the right to file discrimination suits based on their sexual orientation.

Joe Navarro, a member of Movimiento Estudiantii" Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), Morgan Carrol of the Young Democrats and Ashara Walker of the Black Student Alliance all rallied students in support of human rights.

Denver's Mayor Wellington Webb called on the crowd to join in solidarity for the fight for equal rights. He started the crowd chanting "Keep hope alive," when Jackson took the podium.

"We have this burden upon us of how to rebuild our country," Jackson told the energetic crowd.

"What connects us on one hand is the common pain we share, suburban or in the city, red, brown, black or white, a common pain," he said. "Somewhere between pain

and hope is what locks and binds us together."

Flanked by Webb and American Indian Movement leader Russell Means, Jackson said students have an obligation to keep alive the struggle for human rights, a cause Jackson has vehemently worked for since the 1960s.

"Young America: when you stand up, you make America better," Jackson said.

Jackson criticized President George Bush current economic policies have led.to an increase in unemployment and poverty in the United States. As a result, he said, low wages and the greed of huge corporations have led to the destruction of the family and the American education system, leaving "drugs and liquor to anesthetize for pain."

Jackson said future generations rely on responsible decision-making by political leaders today.

"It makes sense to invest in pre-natal

care rather than in prison apd welfare care," he said.

"The arrogant, rich, yoyng Republicans talk down to us about fiynily values. It's time for change," Ja~json said to the crowd, where Clinton-Gore banners and "No on Amendment 2" posters waved in the mid day heat.

After his half-hour speech at the Student Union Amphitheater, Jackson, with members from the local and national Rainbow Coalition, led the march downtown along Speer Boulevard to Colfax Avenue, where he weaved the crowd through tr~ffic.

At the Election Commission, I 01 people cast absentee ballots for the Nov. 3 election.

"Today we vote for change," he said.

Angeletti fired from student government Christy Lane Staff Writer

MSCD Student Government will initiate a search for a new faculty adviser following the impending dismissal of the present adviser, Charles Angeletti , a professor in the MSCD History Department.

Student Government passed a bill in which Angeletti would be paid $200 to deliver the keynote address at the annual Student Government conference held August 29.

A report drafted . by Student Government Pro Tern James Norris declared that "it is inappropriate for a faculty adviser to accept payment for his or her service as an adviser."

Angeletti said he finds "nothing unusual" about accepting payment.

"I really love Angeletti and I think he has a good heart," said MSCD Student Trustee Chip Wiman, "but I question his wisdom a! accepting a fee."

MSCD Student Government will circulate a memorandum to all MSCD departments requesting a volunteer to take over the position as faculty adviser. An ad hoc committee will then review all applicants and recommend one of the applicants for Student Senate ratification.

THE METROPOLITAN

Conflict over Tivoli use leaves vendors uncertain about future Le Roy Standish The Metropolitan Since its inception, the Tivoli has been witness to a long chain of occupants who have run the gamut from boom to bust. Now, as Auraria ebbs its way into control of the historic building, retailers display a mix of uncertainty and enthusiasm for the future.

The economic plan of Tivoli businesses is a simple one: If you are going to survive, cater to the students.

"To me it makes sense to offer more to the students," said Steve Jones, a manager at the Tivoli Diner.

Formerly known as Oink's, the Tivoli Diner's customers are made of about 75 percent students through the weekdays.

But does that mean during the weekends, when the campus sees but a handful of students, that business is non-existent? Not hardly.

"On weekends we are pretty busy," Jones said. "Friday and Saturday nights are really busy nights."

Those Friday and Saturday nights see money coming in from a customer base that extends well beyond the campus.

Though retailers realize the value of offering a service to students, they are not blind to the non-Auraria-student market.

"The majority of my business comes from John Q. Public, not from the campus," said Scott Vanerstrom, a partner and co-owner of the Boiler Room.

Vanerstrom sees his business booming on the weekends, busy in the weekday evenings and steady during the day.

"Almost all of my business during the daytime," Vanerstrom said, "is devoted to the student population." And as the Tivoli slowly becomes the Student Union, that business can only improve. To insure

himse lf and others of that eventuality, Vanerstrom asks: " What can we put in here to address the needs of all the student population?

"What the building needs to address is the concerns of the campus at large," he said.

A main concern of the students has been the life's blood of many of the food retailers on the third floor: parking.

"We have no more students coming here for valid~ion," said Abdul Rashidi, part owner and• manager of the Steakman.

In the past, students found a discount parking bonanza in the Tivoli lot, but no more. With .acquisition of the Tivoli, Auraria cut the three-hour free parking with proof of purchase to a mere one-anda-half hours.

The explanation for this is a twoedged sword. In the short run, students are having a chunk taken out of their wallets, paying $2 for a parking spot instead of $.85 for a soda. In the long run, it keeps the lot free for customers of the Tivoli' s retail sector, aiding in their survival. This, in turn, as it is hoped by Auraria, will insure a profit for the campus, a profit that could conceivably be used to fund various student activities.

But for those operating the tiny food outlets on the third floor the change in the parking scheme is only a shadow of darker things to come.

"Right now I feel terrible," Rashidi said, "since they decided to give the food court to one big company."

That one big company has not been decided upon as of yet, but could possibly mean the elimination of the smaller food outlets.

The harshness of the situation has not escaped Harli Tehranian, owner of Felafel

and Shish Kabob.

"I spend my life in here for seven years," Tehranian said, " If they let me go, all this is gone."

The variety of appetites now appeased in the Tivoli is something to be preserved, "people want the different food." For Tehranian, the situation is out of his hands, "I can do nothing."

The food court businesses are not alone in facing an uncertain future. Ken Crouse, owner and operator of Balantrae, said, "I feel at the present rate I am not going to make it."

The whys are two fold: No walkthrough traffic, no student dollars.

"Students don ' t spend the time or the money for my services. ''I'm asking for three bucks (for a~ portrait), damn it. And if they won't spend , that, then what the hell."

• Though Crouse would like to stay, · "It's a little teeter-lottery right now. I have · to search my soul to know what to do."

Crouse realizes that his business alone is not going to draw enough people to the Tivoli to keep him afloat. "I tend to be an accessory." What would help him and the rest of the business side of the Tivoli is if the building became a prime destination for shoppers. An example of one such operation is the theater. "If I didn't have the movies," Crouse said, "I'd be dead right now."

Walking the tightrope between developing the Student Union and a profitable retail center is proving to be a challenging act. Businesses that expect to remain in the black must prove themselves to be a resource to students and the outlying community.

"If done right every single one of us can benefit," Vanerstrom said.

Self-help seminars a tool to reduce stress MSCD Counseling Center offers classes to help students learn stress management Kim Brown The Metropolitan

Stress.

The word is a big part of almost every college student's vocabulary. But help is anyone's for the taking through the MSCD Counseling Center and its variety of fall self-help, self-discovery seminars.

"People need assistance with stress management," sa id Jose I. Rodriguez, staff psychologist for the counseling center. "Stress management is always popular."

High demand for the seminars have kept them coming back every semester, as well as the self-esteem courses, Rodriguez said. Low self-esteem is sometimes a result of stress.

"It's very natural that when people get pulled into so many directions they start doubting themselves," he said.

To help students get back on track, seminars offered through the counseling center include "Manage It! A Comprehensive Six-Session Stress Management

Course," a skill-focused examination of assessment, strategy and game-planning for change in d eali ng with stressfu l situations. Participants will learn new coping skills and an on-the-spot stress reduction technique. "Time Management and Study Skills," is a self-motivation seminar which also discusses allocating time and developing effective study skills.

"Responsible Assertive Communication," teaches assertive communication as a way to develop self-esteem as well as creating healthy interactions with others.

Other sem inars offered through Jennifer Jackson of the tutoring office, and in cooperation with the counseling center include: "Writing Essays," and "Effective Note-Taking."

All of the seminars are facilitated by professionals or by doctoral interns and doctoral practicum students, Rodriguez said.

Beside the group seminars which cater to st ude nt needs , individual counseling is available, although somewhat limited becau~e of the high • demand, Rodriguez said.

In hi s individual cou nseling, Rodriguez has encountered just about every problem.

"It ranges from 'I'm having trouble concentrating on math' all the way to e.. •

serious psychiatric or sociological problems," he said.

"The potentials are there for all of us.

It's a matter of degree."

For students feeling a little crazy, don't worry . A little bit is healthy , Rodriguez said.

"Everyone who 's in college has to be obsessive to some degree," Rodriguez said. "You have to be."

"Now, if you have to count to 36 before you leave home - that's where there's a problem."

For those who can't make it to some of the seminars or individual counseling, Rodriguez offers some free advice.

"Know the truth . We all deceive ourselves, distort things. And there are things we don't want to see in ourselves.

And without seeing those, we're truly not whole," he said. "Unless you embrace yourself as you really are, you can't change."

Seminars are free to MSCD students unless a materials fee is required. Each seminar meets about once a week, one to two hours per session. For details on individual counseling or any of the on- · going fall seminars, call 556-3132 or visit the counseling center in Ct;ntral Classroom 203.

History and African-American Departments trade barbs over crosslisting of classes Dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences pushed to settle dispute over Angeletti's class Jeff Martinez

The Metropolitan The MSCD departments of History and African-American Studies lobbed accusations of racial discrimination at one another last week.

The accusations follow the Department of African-American Studies' (AAS) refusal to allow the crosslisting of a "Topics in African American History" course taught by History professor Charles Angeletti.

The refusal led the History Department to vote unanimously to suspend all crosslisting of its courses until a clear cut policy was delivered by the Dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

Crosslisting is the term given when a course may be taken for· credit in more than one department. Presently, MSCD has no set guidelines for crosslisting. All that is needed for a course to be crosslisted is agreement between the departments involved.

Angeletti, who is teaching the course this semester for the History Department, claims the AAS Department refused to crosslist the course because he is white.

He also asserts that the issue has been ignored by the administration, including the former dean of Letters, Arts and

Sciences, and the c urrent dean, Joan Foster.

"I'm mad as hell," Angeletti said.

"Too many games have been played with this issue for too long. Angeletti Everyone here likes to talk ~bout multiculturalism and diversity, but when it comes time to do something about it, they try to sweep it under the rug."

Akbarali Thobani, director for the Institute of Intercultural Studies, which oversees all AAS courses, denies discrimination was involved in the decision to refuse crosslisting of the course.

"That's his imagination," Thobani said of Angeletti.

Thobani said the reason the course was denied crosslisting was because the same course was to be offered in his department in the spring. Further, Thobani claims multi-cultural courses should stay within his department.

"We are the center for African American studies, and the course rightfully

belongs here. He [Angeletti] should have approached us here as a matter of courtesy and for him to ignore the existence of this department is a form of subtle racism in itself," Thobani said.

Angeletti, who has been teaching at MSCD for more than 20 years, denied he was ignoring Thobani 's department. He claimed that he initiated discussion of the issue last s pring with all of the departments, including the Provost David Williams.

"I'm disappointed," Angeletti said, "that the administration , including our black vice-president, would choose to let this issue die, rather than address who will be allowed to teach multicultural courses and who will decide which courses will be crosslisted."

Williams could not be reached for comment.

Richard Jackson, a black criminal justice profes sor, chided the AAS department for what he called "an elitist and racist" attitude in denying Angeletti the right to crosslist the course.

"How dare [Thobani]? Everyone should be applauding that Angeletti wants to teach the course," Jackson said.

"Everyone talks the talk when it comes to multiculturalism, but they don't walk the walk."

Both Joan Foster, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and Steve Leonard, chairman of the History Department, refused comment, but a professor in the department of history, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the department stood behind Angeletti.

"I hope this situation doesn't lead to disharmony, but we stand behind Angeletti on principle," the professor said.

Rosetta Dubois-Gadson, 54, and a black MSCD contract major enrolled in an AAS course, said she would take a black studies course from a white professor.

"As long as the person was competent, and I was able to refute what came from that person if it were wrong, I would have no problem," Dubois-Gadson said.

Chris Ozor, a senior journalism major at MSCD who is from Nigeria, agreed with Dubois-Gadson. " Race has nothing to do with knowledge," Ozor said, "but the instructor would have to be knowledgeable and competent."

Angeletti said he is confident that he has the support of students, who he says are the losers in this conflict.

'This means a lesser education for the student," he said. "It takes away the choice that you have because the hierarchal structure at Metro is making the choice for you."

Msco -general studies hurts transfer students Patrick Franklin

•

The Metropolitan As the community college transfer becomes a staple in the enrollment at MSCD, the school's administration is looking to make the general studies guidelines more flexible, said Jeff Johnson , assistant dean of Admissions and Records.

"We are disenfranchising the transfer student because of the way the school designed our general studies," Johnson said.

The problem is with the people who do not follow the community college core, Johnson said. The school' s general studies are very core specific, meaning it would not be satisfactory to transfer in any class or grade, he added.

Johnson said if a community college class is not similar to one at MSCD, it would be accepted, but not as a general studies requirement.

However, the transfer student will meet MSCD 's lower division general studies if the student comp letes the. community college core, Johnson said. " In 95 percent of the cases, students with an associates of Arts or Associates of Science degree would be awarded the same amount of credit," Johnson said.

General studies are 36 credit hours of classes that involve various disciplines to foster skills, such as critical thinking and communication.

MSCD President Thomas Brewer said in his final convocation speech Aug. 20 that MSCD is not as "user friendly" to community co ll ege students as UCO Brewer was referring to how MSCD transfer g uide lines were not keeping up

with the demands of transfer students from community colleges.

"Our general studies are set up now where meeting general studies requirements would not be possible," Brewer said.

Brewer gave an example. If a student takes French I at a community college, those credits would not meet MSCD's' first semester general studies requirements.

According to Brewer, enrollment of community college students at MSCD has slowed because of University of Colorado's agreement to enter students with Asso~iates of Arts or Associates of Science degrees as juniors. and the college' s need to control enrollment due to lack of state funding .

Since UCO announced the agreement enabling community college graduates to enter as juniors. enrollment of Community College of Denver students who transfer to UCO is up 79 percent from 1990 to 1992 (66 to 118).

"Our articulation agreement (classes at Colorado community colleges that automatically transfer to UCO). Redirect and Successful Transition programs really took effect this year." said Danny Martinez. UCD's executive assistant to the executive and associate vice chance llors for enrol lm ent. ''All the programs are catching up ...

Enrollment of CCD transfers from 1989 to 1990 were op 38 percent (96 to 132). However. when UCO's community college agreement was announced in 1990. enrollment from 1990 to 1991 was up only 14 percent from the previous year ( 132 to 150).

Tom Gray. director of Admissions at

MSCO. would not speculate on the fall enrollment numbers, but mentioned numerous reasons why the numbers could be up or down.

The early application deadline and tuition-by-the-credit-hour could be reasons why transfer enrollment might be down. Gray said. Enrollment could be up because of recruitment efforts. articulation agreements and more scholarship money. he said.

Louise Griego. academic adviser for CCO. said UCO was more transferable to community college students in the past. but now both schools are similar.

"I think now both schools are really interested in the transfer student:· Griego said.

MSCO has agreements with CCO that UCO does not offer to community college students, Griego said. The Nursing. Engineer Technology. and Human Services programs are part of the 'two plus two' program (two years at CCO. then two years at MSCO) between MSCO and CCO. Both Griego and Johnson stressed that it was up to students to check what four-year school would benefit them.

The agreement between Colorado community colleges and UCO "offers a flexibility to the transfe_rability of community college credits:· said Lynn Hoffman. coordinator of the transition program at UCO. When referring to the tran sfe r agreement between community colleges a nd UCO . Joanie Scott. credentia l eva lu ator at UCO. said. "The student doesn ' t lose time. money or credits."

Kites fly as symbols of international peace afternoon.

Attractions included the launch of a special kite, which will fly around the world, a blessing by the Hopi Indians, and the flying of a giant 10-foot cow wind sock attached to a kite.

The Denver kite fliers were joined in spirit with kite fliers in Brazil, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and many other national and international locations.

"One Sky, One World" was started in 1985 by Denver kite maker Jane ParkerAmbrose after she presented a special kite to the Soviet Women' s Peace Committee in Moscow.

The group's literature states that, "One Sky, One World's" sole purpose is to encourage people to fly kites in the sky shared by all life on the planet, and to reflect upon the necessity of a world free from conflict and environmental abuse."

Sunday's kite fly was ended with Parker-Ambrose encouraging participants to always remember the peaceful winds as they fly kites.

Kites flew in Denver and around the world Sunday to celebrate the 7th Annual "One Sky, One World International Kite Fly for Peace."

The Denver kite fly was preceded by the first "One Sky , One World Earth Parade."

"One Sky, One World" takes place around the world on the second Sunday of every October. . . The parade, led by representatives of the Hopi Indian Tribe, consisted of a procession of four elements: air, water, fire and earth. Dancers, costumed participants and colorful, twirling banners made each element come to life.

The parade, which headed east on 3rd Avenue in Cherry Creek North, marcned into Cranmer Park, 1st and Clermont, to signal the beginning of the festival. The kite fly. which attracted a few thousand

Cooperative Education places stUdents hitoJhe Work force .. '

Christy Lane Staff Writer In today's competitive job market, college graduates may find difficulty in landing that first job.

But students can get their foot in the door while in college with MSCD' s Cooperative Education program.

Established in 1972, Cooperative Education is a nation-wide program that enables students to gain valuable work experience in a field related to their major or minor, earn extra money, and establish contacts in their field.

About 3000 students are enrolled in the program. To qualify students must be at least sophomores with a 2.5 GPA and have a declared major. Once enrolled, students work with an assigned coordinator who helps with resume preparation and interviewing skills. The coordinator also visits the student's work-

.. .

site to monitor progress and intervene should a problem arise.

Susan Lanman, director of the center, outlined the two different programs that are available in the Cooperative Education program. The Compensated Co-op Program offers students either an hourly wage or a salary.

The second program, Co-op for Public Service, allows students to work in a voluntary position for academic credit.

Some Co-op jobs offer pay and credit simultaneously.

"Eighty-seven percent of (MSCD) students are working their way through school, so voluntary positions aren't always an option for everybody," Lanman says.

Job announcements are posted on Coop bulletin boards. Students in the program notify their coordinator if a particular job interests them.

The coordinator will, in turn, provide

r

contact information and send the student's resume to the prospective employer.

"I heard about the program through other studeqts who were enrolled, l}ked it, and recommended Co-op to me," said Denise Everlang, an MSCD Biology/Chemistry student.

Lanman said, "Potential emplQyers, as well as the stude~ts, are pre-screened to ensure a good match."

"I like to see students involved in the community," said MSCD history professor Charles Angeletti.

"Learning should a lso take place beyond the four walls and outside of the classroom," he said. "Any program that can get students an internship with academic credit and possibly getting paid is very worthwhile."

Students interested in the program should stop by the Cooperative Education office at · 1045 Ninth Street Park, or call 556-3290.

CONCERT REVIEW

Diamond shines with eloquent performance Shawn Christopher Cox Editor in Chief

•

•

~.

·,

If Neil Diamond's concerts Sunday and Monday are any indication of what is to come from thjs superstar, he will still be jamming to sold out crowds in 25 years.

The 51-year-old master showman belted out 36 songs in two-and-a-half hours to a sold out fanatical crowd of over 17 ,000 in McNichol 's arena both nights.

Diamond's songs varied from his recent "Lovescape" album to oldies to staunch favorites and Christmas ·sopgs from his newly released Christmas album.

There were no bad seats as Diamond played in the round. His 17,000 fans had an;iple time to see the man they have had a love affair with for years as the 360-degree stage rotated through the concert. Even though hls fans have aged as he has, his music is enjoyed by all ages. There were moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and grandmas and grandpas clapping along through the entire performance.

The performance itself was Diamond's best in Denver over the last eight years. His saccharine voice was strong as he wailed out everyone's favorites , especially hls oldies.

About half of the songs were from the 1960s and early 1970s. This is what the crowd came to hear and Diamond gave it to them. He had the arena swaying to "Song Sung Blue" and "Sweet Caroline" and clapping and dancing to the likes of "Crunchy Granola Suite," " Holly Holy," 'Tm a Believer" and "Cracklin' Rosie."

Diamond also played low-key oldies, including "Play Me," "Morningside," and "Brooklyn Roads." He saved his best for last ending with "I Am ... I Said," and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show." Diamond had the fervor that Brother Love would have been jealous of.

He showed that he could be hip as he sang "Red, Red Wine" in reggae style as performed and taken to No. 1 around the world by UB40. He sang: "Red, red wine make me feel so fine/Hear it on the radio all of the time/Even if the words seem to turn around wrong/I don't care 'cause they're playing my song."

- Neil Leslie Diamond also relied on staunch favorites from the late 1970s and early 1980s. He sang "Hello Again,"

"Love on the Rocks" and "America" from "The Jazz Singer." ".America" was particularly special when four American flags dropped from the ceiling towards the end of the song as the crowd embellished in a patriotic moment.

Other favorites were "September Mom," "Beautiful Noise" and "Forever in Blue Jeans." His duet with Linda Press of "You Don ' t Bring Me Flowers" was romantically sung as husbands and wives smiled and embraced each other.

From his "Lovescape" album, appropriately named for all or" its love songs, Diamond sang "If There Were No Dreams," "All I Really Need is You" and "Lonely Lady #17." He opened the concert with " Mountains of Love" and romantically sang "Hooked on the Memory of You" with Linda Press as they held hands and embraced.

Why does Diamond continue to set attendance records? His concerts remain a special experience as the fans are putty in Diamond 's hands. He enjoys to see the crowd rocking and rolling with him.

Diamond even initiated the participation with lines such as, "I need your help with this one" and wailing out, "God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right/WE GOT ALL NIGHT!" Each time Diamond comes to Denver, he does things that make each concert distinct and enjoyable. This time hls stage show was better than ever, especially since he was in the center of the arena. "Headed for the Future" was accompanied by a laser show that will be remembered for a long time to come.

Diamond could outperform anyone in a prim1t1ve clubhouse, but the professionally done show set the mood for love songs and jammin' songs alike.

Particularly unique was how Diamond jazzed up "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in his Christmas set. With his warm voice, he also sang "Morning Has Broken," "The Christmas Song" and "Silent Night," which Diamond said is probably the most beautiful song ever

Diamond, shown here in a 1986 photo, has been a phenomenon for over 20 years because of his electric concert performances. written.

He was very personal thls time as he provided introductions to certain songs.

Diamond talked about growing up in Brooklyn, New York and how everyone remembered a rust. His first, of course, was a song. He said, "unfortunately for you, I remember every lousy word."

Actually, the song was not too bad.

He introduced his band as the greatest in the intergalactic system. He personally introduced each member and had them come up on stage to greet the fans.

Diamond was named as the topgrossing artist for the first six months of the year by Amusement Business as he sets attendance records around the globe.

His fans continue to make other stars jealous. Diamond's first show sold out the fastest in Denver history in less than two hours.

Diamond recently released, "The Christmas Album" and "Glory Road-1968 to 1972" whjch are in stores now. What a great Christmas idea for your friends and family that love Diamond.

FORUM

Frankly Speaking will return in the Oct. 23 issue.

Malcolm X warned about the dangers of making alliances with those who insist on the correct method to be used in the strug·gle for liberation. Lawrence Jones, in his editorial (The Metropolitan, Oct. 9), falls into this role of what Malcolm X called "propagandist for the ruling elite." He explained the ideology of Jones and other commissars as being: people of color are minorities and the odds are stacked against them. Therefore, they must recognize that they cannot get equality until they get the acquiescence and support of another segment of society. This segment would have to be white.

These whites must be persuaded to support the cause of people of color. People of color must not antagonize them . They must not be too unreasonable or too radical in their conduct or their demands.

Lawrence Jones , as the self-appointed spokesperson for the morally outraged majority, insists that those who struggle for social justice and against racism come on bended knee and seek his blessing . Conservatives and liberals alike told Malcolm X that he must use only the methods that

--

are acceptable to the white whom he sought as allies.

Malcolm X states that bowing down to the Lawrence Joneses of the world would "make Uncle Toms out of us."

Martin Luther King also lost much of his white liberal support as he expanded his struggle from civil right to human rights and opposition to th~ Vietnam War. He was told : Civil rights and peace don't mix.

There were those, like Jones, who knew what was best for Dr. King and the struggle for justice. To them King said, "it saddens me that they never knew my heart. They never understood me or the struggle.'!

Lawrence Jones states in his editorial that the F-- Columbus Day flyer does not "aid in the struggle for Native American rights." But he is wrong.

The concert held Friday, that the flyer advertised, raised almost $1000 for MEChA Central and Big Mt. Support Group. (Big Mt. is an organization that helps traditional Indians on the Navajo reservation , through food drives and legal assistance). Further, the nonviolent protests of the last three years saw

this year's parade canceled through raised awareness and a low parade turnout. The "F- Columbus and His Legacy" concert played its part.

For too long, people who struggle for social change have been betrayed -by those who side with the law and protocol. Surely the esteemed citizens in China were outraged with the students who stood up for democracy in Tiananmen Square. Lawrence is in good company. There are party hacks across the globe who wrap themselves in the status quo as they strive to impose their superior culture, values, religion, etc.

There are still senate and committee positions available in student government, open to all students who wish to have a say, in a democratic fashion , on which issues are to be addressed and how. So, at last, I must decline Jones' offer to resign my post.

F-- Columbus and His Legacy. No Holidays for Murderers.

Thomas C. Mestnik President, MSCD Student Government

Columbus flier not endorsed by all of student government As a member of the Associated Students Of Metropolitan State College of Denver, otherwise known as Student Government, I would like to apologize to the students, faculty, administration and staff of MSCD ( as well as UCO and CCD) for the offensive and clearly unconscionable Anti-Columbus flyer that was distributed throughout the Auraria Campus recently. I would also like to respond to Lawrence E. Jones' recent letter to the editor (The Metropolitan, Oct. 9).

First, I would like to state that the MSCD Student Senate passed a bill (#FB9208) that authorized the allocation of $350.00 to go toward an event entitled, "500 Years of Indigenous Resistance," not a "FColumbus" concert. This concert was to be a big fund-raiser with the proceeds going to two non-profit groups: Big Mountain Support Group and MEChA Central. The authors of this bill , Tom Mestnik (president) and Raphael Tapia (executive branch and administrative aide to the president), as well as the sponsor, Dusti Garrison (senator), presented this

bill to the Senate as a cultural and educational event with the goal being to bring about awareness of alleged "discovery" of America. THIS is the bill we passed and the event Student Government "happily" supported : NOT the "F-Columbus" event.

The compulsion and outright deception of those responsible for going against the original bill and simply ignoring any ethics or conscience I would have hoped they possessed , has significantly created a barrier between them and those they wish to reach.

Their cause, originally worthwhile and designed to educate and enlighten, have instead offended , deceived and essentially victimized those they expected to bring on "their side.· Second, I must clarify that there are many, if not most, senators that vehemently opposed the distribution of the flyers and condemned the deceitful way in which the event was coordinated. I appeal to the students, faculty , administration and staff of MSCD to accept my apology and know, without a

doubt, that there are many responsible, mature and open-minded members of MSCD Student Government who continually strive to serve our constituency. For instance, this year I will be working on reinstituting deferred tuition payments.

We are hard at work on issues that concern all students at MSCD, not just a select faction or two.

So please, hang in there and don't lose faith! Allow me and my fellow senators to work for you this year and earn back your trust - I will do my utmost to serve you, the students of MSCD. Lastly, I believe this incident illustrates perfectly the demand for responsible and knowledgeable voters; whether we are voting for the president of the Un ited States in November or the president of MSCD Student Government in spring of 1993. Know your candidates, know the issues, and get out there and VOTE!

Profanity not wise for social progress w1. f,

L-~~~~~~-=~-=~~~~~~~~~~~....J

I went down to the Civic Center Oct. 10 to join the people protesting Columbus Day. Long after the Italian-Americans ended their rally on the Capitol's steps, the American Indian Movement rally at the Greek Theatre was still going strong.

There were cries of THE PEOPLE ... UNITED ... WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED and cheers for the victory of stopping the parade. Words were shouted ; words like peace , justice and victory . A representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People spoke of letting go of the anger and embracing in love for a future of hope and justice.

People were there from all walks of life and all races. It was an incredible feeling to be standing among them. Many carried sign calling for an end to the injustices and an end to the

celebration of a man who brought the failures of the European continent to America. Nowhere, at any time, was any profanity used by any of the speakers, who are the leaders of this movement, or on any of the signs. As a matter of fact, one of the leaders called for the protesters to stick to the moral high ground and fight for justice with honor by rising above.

Profanity and narrow- mindedness are weapons of anger and hatred. Words like honor, justice and peace are the weapons of a revolution that will change this country for the better.

Think about it, members of the student government. Which side do you want to be on?

THE METROPOLITAN

Columbus: JDurderer, thief and rapist

,..

I am writing in response to the letter written by Lawrence E. Jones and the commentary by Shawn Christopher Cox (The Metropolitan, Oct. 9) .

First of all, I'd like to clear up a few common misconceptions . Columbus did not "discover" America. Just because there were no Europeans here prior to the European invasion does not mean that th~re was anything "new" about this hemisphere. It is very ·Self-centered for some people to think that one can simply discover a continent inhabited by over 100 million people. This is typical of the European mind-frame of 1492 and it is unfortunate that this concept is being perpetuated into the 21st century. Commonly used terms such as the "New World" continue to reveal the lack of respect for our people, and the superiority complex that still haunts people of European descent. We were not something that was lost and needed to be found, but thanks anyway for so graciously "discovering" us. It was very difficult not existing prior to your arrival.

Secondly, I find nothing noble about an opportunist sailing for an imperialist nation, whose intention was to find and exploit Asia and its inhabitants. Columbus and his men were literally mass murderers, thieves and rapists. They were welcomed by the generous people that they encountered, and in return Columbus and his men enslaved, raped and murdered them. But let's not forget, as Cox so eloquently pointed out, that slavery was not against the law at the time. Neither was the rape or mass murder of our people. And besides, they did all of these things in the name of gold and Christianity. Do not be angry with them or question their actions, after all they were products of their time, right?

Do not be surprised to hear that the legacy of Columbus has been death and destruction. Do not be shocked to hear that our people were literally worked to death under the Encomienda system of slavery, forced to mine gold for the Catholic church and the Spanish government. Do not be alarmed to hear that the U.S. government gave our people gifts of blankets knowingly infested with disease to kill us unsuspectingly. Do not be alarmed to hear that the U.S. Cavalry deliberately hunted our people like animals wherever we could be found. Do not lose any sleep at night knowing that "Indian" women were given treatments of forced sterilization at the hands of the U.S. government.

Do not be upset at the fact that children were kidnapped from the reservation and placed into U.S.

boarding schools whose purpose was to wipe out the culture, language and religion of indigenous people (do not be surprised that they were largely successful). So don't let it bother you that indigenous spirituality was outlawed by the Catholic Church and the United States despite the freedom of religion that is so graciously "granted" by your constitution.

Do not be surprised that the U.S. government is still trying to "relocate" the Dineh people from Big Mountain, to mine the coal and uranium it contains.

Do not be surprised to hear that the U.S. government and U.S. corporations have used the reservations as dumping grounds for toxic waste, as well as testing sites for nuclear experimentation . As a result, the reservations have some of the highest cancer rates in the occupied territories, in the United States, comple'te with a dramatic rise in birth defects, contaminated drinking water, still-born livestock, etc. ·Do not be surprised to hear that the genocide of our people has been a deliberate and calculated effort by the Spanish and U.S. invaders. Don't take my word for it, study it for yoursett, and when you find the truth--be afraid, be upset, be angry, be sad, but do not be surprised.

Be angry that people like Lawrence E. Jones are more upset about the word "F---" appearing on a flier than about the rape and murder of my people. I am the "over-zealous and incredibly moronic individual," as Jones stated, that designed the flier for the F--Columbus show. "Shudder" on Jones, I will not apologize for "serving my own anger," and sorry, but I have no intention of resigning from my post. You will probably take solace in knowing that my views do not necessarily reflect the views of the entire student government at MSCD. Sleep tight.

Be angry that many people are content with having unpleasant segments of history covered up and distorted, and comfortably dismiss the truth as "the anger of some," and the rhetoric of a bunch of "left-wing liberals" in their crusade for "political correctness" and "historical revisionism." The time has come to re-evaluate our history. Columbus is an excellent example of how history has been distorted.

But even Columbus, as sick as he was, does not stand alone. How many more of your "heroes" have corpses in their closet? Oops ... skeletons swept under the rug? No, no, no. It's skeletons in the closet ... sorry, how silly of me to infer that.

Denver politicians join Jackson in recruiting voters Katarina Ahlfort

Jackson 's march a surprise move Katarina Ahlfort

"You all will be the first in the nation to strike the ballot," Rev. Jesse Jackson told the audience of 3,000 people at the Auraria Student Union, before arranging an impromptu march to the Denver Election Center. . ..

"Let's put this famous school on the map. Let's make world news," he said.

World news or not, hundreds of peo> ple followed Jackson as he led the way across the Auraria Campus towards Colfax Avenue.

The song "We Shall Overcome" mixed with the sounds of honking horns and police sirens, as the marching crowd crossed the busy afternoon traffic on Speer ··:=: Boulevard.

Jackson made sudden stops in the middle of the streets, to consult with Denver's Mayor Wellington Webb on where to lead the march next. A half an hour later, the trail reached the entrance of the Denver Election Center. There, 101 people cast absentee votes for the Nov. 3 election day.

Hundreds of people lined up in front of the building in support of Jackson's call to vote for change.

Auraria Public Safety officers were present to overlook the event.

"This was kind of a surprise to all of u·s," said one police officer, while helping Jackson's local organizers to keep the situation under control. ···--~-:::

Denver City Council member Allegra "Happy" Haynes, who was invited to join Rev. Jesse Jackson's on the stage of the Student Union Amphitheater Monday, stressed the importance of the Nov. 3 elections and the impact students could have on the outcome.

"Many young people today have the feeling that nobody listens and that their vote doesn't make a difference," Haynes said in an interview. "Jesse Jackson's encouraging speech brought a message of hope."

According to Haynes, Jackson's hallmark is his eagerness to reach to groups in society who do not belong to the "ordinary, mainstream voters."

Haynes said party leaders should include young people in their outreach to the public, and speak to students who "often can feel left out of the system." " This is not just another election," Haynes said. "This is an important one, and it calls for action among young people who have been discouraged by politics before."

Education needs more support in the future, she said, emphasizing that legislators cannot turn their backs on education if everyone is to work in decent jobs in the future. ,.

If society continues to "go the way we're going," Haynes said, the future does not look promising for young people. She added that Jackson said the responsibility now falls on the students to get out and vote.

Jackson's life devoted to social equality Christy Lane

Known as the "great orator" due to his many powerful speeches, Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson has devoted his life to the human rights movement.

Born Oct. 8, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson attended the University of Illinois on a football scholarship, but dropped out after his freshman year because of racial discrimination. Jackson then returned to school at North Carolina A&T, where he received a Bachelor's degree in sociology.

During Jackson's academic career, he served as a student government leader, and was an athlete and honor student. Jackson was also a leader in the student sit-in movement of the 1960s that protested segregated public facilities.

After graduating , Jackson entered the Chicago Theological Seminary for two years. In 1968, he was ordained as a Baptist minister.

Soon after, Jackson, along with 70 other prominent black leaders, founded Operation PUSH (People United to Serve Humanity), a program dedicated to human rights issues.

On Nov. 3, 1983, Jackson launched bis campaign for the democratic nomination for the presidency. This marked the first full-scale effort by African-Americans to capture the nation's highest political office. His dedication to human rights is prevalent in his speech during the 1984 Democratic National Convention: "We are here to heed the call of the nation's highest and noblest principles that we might fulfill our mission to defend the poor, make welcome the outcast, deliver to the needy and be the source of hope for people yearning to be free everywhere."

Although his bid for presidency was unsuccessful in 1984 and 1988, Jackson continues to be an advocate for human rights, such as working with the Rainbow Coalition, a political action group that gives a united voice to blacks, Asian-Americans, Native Americans and the poor. The Rainbow Coalition was a keystone to Jackson's presidential campaign.

As the lights went down, neon flashlights and glowing plastic swords shone in the darkness as a hush swept over the crowd.

Suddenly, the sharp, high-pitched sound of the ringmaster's whistle was heard, and the place came alive. Circus performers lined the stage and elephants plodded by.

So began the I 22nd edit ion of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus in Denver on Thursday evening.

A full band got things into the swing, providing accompaniment not only to the evening's activities but also to the musical headliners, N/Motion. This threesome of fine-looking young gentlemen sang "The Star Spangled Banner" and looked somewhat like the New Kids on the Block in concert.

The first half of the circus consisted of the old circus stand -bys and stereotypes, which were nothing but absolute enjoyment.

the crowd while beating its little drum was especially funny. One clown on stilts, sporting a _giant leg cast, sped by, being chased by a voluptuous and absurd nurse who was holding a monstrous hypodermic needle.

Soon after came the pet tricks.

Horses, poodles and sheepdogs demon strated their talents , each in a separate ring. One of the toy poodles stood on its paw, balancing on the nose of his trainer. The elephants came later.

They rolled around like giant babies, their big bellies hanging out, while scantilyclad dancers hung from their trunks.

Human performers came close to being outdone by their animal friends.

However, they put on a good show , especially those performers who were able to hang by their teeth while dangling 20 feet above the ground.

Ninja fighters from China flocked to the floor in co lorful silken pajamas, dancing around, doing martial arts kicks and flinging swords about.

After observing a trio of acrobats from the Philippines, who gracefu lly bounced off each other, some members of the audience were invited to perform. The ringmaster helped give directions to the novices, who were guided through simple maneuvers by the acrobats. An evening at the Denver Coliseum may be your chance to run away and join the circus.

The second half of the show began with tightrope walkers and led into a showcase of the newest addition to the ~ circus this year: the Mongolians. This tantalizing group of performers, direct from their northeast Oriental homeland, were the highlight of the show and were saved for last.

The Mongolian performers provided an eclectic array of talented acts. Their presence was a true spectacle, which was garnished with exotic costumes and props. The men wore the pointed hats of the Mongolian warrior and the women donned elaborate robes. Performers were ~ carried out into the rings in gilded, dynastic carriages. It truly seemed like a step right into the Mongolian Empire.

First, there were the acrobats that flung themselves into the air with twists and turns. Then came the contortionists.

Enkntsetseg and Otgontsetseg occupied the center ring in sparkling stretch pants, lithe as they moved together. In the next ring, lndarma carefully balanced three white doves on her various limbs, depending on which way she was manipulating her body. The contortionists are an age-old circus delight who have finally come back to main stage.

The Ringling Brothers Circus is a pretty safe bet for satisfying entertainment expectations.

Entertainment is not the only thing that brings people to the circus. It's also the popcorn, hot dogs, plastic pink elephants and gaudy T-shirts and wayoverpriced programs with glossy pictures.

The circus will run until Oct. 18.

Shows are held every evening and there , are some matinees. For more information, call Ticketmaster at 290-TIXS.

The King and I: A new look for a classic musical Patricia Straub Staff Writer Move over Yul Brynner, the King of Siam has gone nouveau in the Boulder Dinner Theater' s version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, "The King and I." Set in the early 1860s, the hoop skirted and buttermilk-faced British widow Anna Leonownes (Karen Buch Wilkins) arrives in Bangkok, Siam, to teach the King's entourage of adorable children. However, the King of Siam (Wayne Kennedy ), looking like a dead-ringer for martial arts movie star Steven Segal, only with a funny accent, enters a battle of the sexes with the Western-cultured Anna.

Volunteering brings students "Into the Streets" Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer About 200 students from the Auraria Campus Oct. 3 took part in the national one-day volunteer service program called "Into the Streets," a program designed to give students an insight into volunteering in their community.

"Volunteer work is what leadership is all about," said Davidson Porter, MSCD coordinator for the program. He said college students could benefit in their professional life from volunteering.

"It's a positive experience to work with people different from yourself. It is important to work within your own community," Porter said.

Porter says students on campus become isolated, separating themselves

from the rest of society. He said the event gives students an opportunity to "do the streets."

Participants chose among 12 different work stations that included volunteering at a food-sharing program, a tree planting project, a shelter, a crisis center and recreation projects for children.

Lucian LeMak, with MSCD's student government, participated in the tree planting project in Park Hill, where 87 trees were planted over the weekend. '"Into the Streets' makes students get off campus and meet people outside of school. The social aspect of volunteer work is important," LeMak said.

Sponsored by the College Outreach Opportunity League, students from Auraria, the University of Denver and Regis University participated in the project

this year.

"I think there should be more volunteer days held for students on campus. At least once every semester," LeMak said.

Porter said volunteer service could become part of campus life. He said an information network could provide the students with updates on organizations in the areas that need volunteer workers.

According to Porter, mandatory community service for the- students would be a good idea for the future. But before it is made mandatory, the students need to be well prepared for the change.

"We need to work with individual students, promote the opportunities and later explore the possibilities_ of community service for everybody," Porter said.

CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I am a junior in college, and my major is math. I like my classes, but I am not sure what I want to do with my degree once I graduate.

My parents are worried that to do anything with my degree, I'll have to go to graduate school for two to four more years. I don't think I want to go to graduate school, but I'm not sure. I just want to make some of these decisions before I graduate. How do I start doing some of this work?

Signed, Young Einstein Dear Young Einstein: Making good decisions about occupations involves considering all the things that go into a job besides knowing the subject matter (in your case, math). Stop and think for a minute about whether you like to be around people or whether you'd really prefer to work in a laboratory or at a computer by yourself most of the time. These types of issues become very important to job satisfaction when you go to the same place every day for a number of years!

A good plac~ to start exploring these types of questions is with a career counselor and some of the career inventories. These instruments don't measure your aptitude for a career so much as they measure personality, values and interest fit. The idea is that if there is a good match between a worker's personality and a work environment, then work is more fun and the worker more productive.

There are several career inventories available to you on campus. One is the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCH), which provides a way to see how your career interests match people who already hold various positions.

Another instrument, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), helps you identify what types of people you'd most like to be around . A values test also helps you identify what you do and don't want in a career.

Stop in at Career Services in the ARTS building, room 177, where Marcille Coulter or Ron Lujan can help you. Ask in Career Services about the career library and the Discover program on the computer that may also help. In addition, look for career days on campus, which happen several times a year. Career exploration is fun and can help you make the most out of all the time and work t"hat you have invested in college!

Film festival comes to Auraria's own backyard Hero Montilla Staff Writer

'•

Get ready for the coming of the 16th annual Denver International Film Festival, which will run from Oct.15-22 at the AMC Tivoli theaters.

The Denver International Film Festival began at the Tivoli in 1977. Since then, the festival has suffered a few 'bumps and bruises but has managed to survive.

The Denver International Film Society, the organization that operates the festival, filed Chapter 11 last year after a dispute with Westword, the Festival's title sponsor. Luckily, a timely solution was found and all is back on track. Norwest Bank and other corporate sponsors were able to lend a helping band and get the festival back on its feet.

The festival was moved back to the Tivoli after a brief stint at the Mann Theaters in the Cherry Creek Mall. The Tivoli is a prime location for MSCD students who can catch one of the flicks via a short jaunt across campus.

The Denver International Film festival is diverse in its selection of films that are shown. They come from all parts of the world, ranging from contemporary works to old classics, from documentaries to fictional flicks.

The executive director of the International Film Festival, Ron Henderson, spends all year traveling around the country and the world looking for prospects that will make up the coming year's program.

Because during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, your school c will host all kinds of activities-and presentations focusing on the safe and A L C 0 H 0 L responsible consumption of alcohol by A W A R E N E S S students of legal drinking age. Among w E E K the activities is a "Know When To Say - - - - - - - - - When" poster contest that pays a ·-~~-ff'•· % ,000 scholarship for the poster that most creatively and effectively promotes responsible drinking.

Sponsored in part by Anheuser-Busch, NCMW is about the health, safety and social issu,~s you face when you drink.

It's about avoiding abusive drinking sit.uat1ons. And it's about adding tr1 your margin of safety, and that. of everyone else, by drinking n:sponsibly. , ~

A T f 0 N A L o L L E G r AT E

It's certainly something worth talking about. So why not get in on the conversation.

National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is the kind of grass roots program that Anheuser-Busch supports to encourage responsible drinking by adult collegians. For more information on this and other programs. contact NCMW, Fort Hays State University. 600 Park Street. Hays.

OCTOBER

16, 1992

Women's soccer team works overtime for payoff Mike Robuck Sports Editor What began as a promising season for the women's soccer team has turned into a trip to the Twilight Zone.

The Roadrunners hav e gone into overtime in six of their 12 games this season including the last three games in a row. Three matches have ended in ties and the other three have been one point losses for the 'Runners. Only one game, Oct. 1 against the University of California PolyPomona, has ~en a blowout loss, 6-2.

"It's been a pretty weird season for us," said senior goal ie Lisa Baskall. " It's mentally draining to go into overtime, but I guess we're getting used to it as just another part of a game."

Coach Ed Montojo said he hasn't perfected a pre-overtime speec h to motivate his players.

The 'Runners lost in overtime Oct. 10 to Lewis University 2-1 after Baskall was called for a penalty while punching the ball out of the goal area and knocking an opposing p layer down with her momentum. Baskall stopped the indirect kick awarded to Lewis, but the ball ricocheted off her and back to Lewis' Kristy Twaregowski. Baskall got a hand on Twaregowski 's shot but deflected the ball into the comer of the net.

"The referee said the Lewis player had establ ished position in front of the goal. He said it was like a charge in basketball," Baskall said. " Jn 12 years of playing soccer I've never heard of that

,

call. It was just more bad luck for us.

We've had shots bounce off a crossbar or post more times than I can remember."

In September the Roadrunners lost thei r first game to last season' s third place team in NCAA Divison III, Colorado College, 3-2. Despite the loss, Montojo said back then that he was was excited about his team's prospects. He said the only thing his talented team lacked was depth on its 15 player roster. " We've los t arguably our best offensive player, Rosie Durbin (broken co llarbone), and our best defensive player, Renee Richee (torn ligaments in left ankle), " Montojo said. "Plus we have players that are playing with injuries. We've had to juggle our lineup and put people in positions that they aren't comfortable in."

Morgan Keiser/The Metropolitan The lack of depth has caused Freshman midfielder Amy Cromwell gets all of her leg into Montojo to come up with some a kick Oct. 10 against Lewis University at Auraria fields. inventive substitutions in the two 15minute overtimes. challenge hi s players to break into the next year I' ll schedu le some pancake games for us."

"We're a ll owed one substitution a national rankings.

The Roadrunners have a 2-6-4 record Of the 18 teams on this schedule 14 of game. Once a player leaves the game they aren't allowed back in," he said. " I look them have been ranked in the top-twenty for the season and are 1-1-2 in Colorado Ath letic Conference play. The team sti ll around before the overtime starts to see either this year or last. who is the most tired and try to give them "It's the toughest schedule I've ever has the bulk of its conference schedule to a breather before putting them back in the had ," he said. " I knew we were going to play.

"We can still do we ll in th e second overtime. Because of t he lack of have some talented players and I thought depth we don't make our one substitution we could have a break-through year.

Junior midfielder Jay Roberts, left, lost this scramble for the ball with the University of Denver's Mike Stebbins. The Roadrunners lost a close game Oct. 13 at DU. Mike Robuck Sports Editor

The men' s soccer team h as lost momentum in the chase for the Colorado Athletic Conference title.

The Roadrunners lost in overtime Oct. l l at Regis University, 2-1, and again Oct. 13 at the University of Denver, 1-0.

"We're disappointed but not dis couraged," said coach Al Ashton.

Against Regi s, th e Roadrunners controlled the tempo of the game but found themselves down 0-1 after Regis scored with four minutes left in regulation.

"The referee called Tim Evans for trippin g," said junior team captain Leonard Trujillo. " We thought it was a bad call, plus they had tripped us a lot earlier in the game and didn't get called."

With three minutes left, the referee did call a penalty on Regis, which Trujillo

booted in for the equaliz~r and his fourth goal of the season. "ln the overtime we were pushing a lot of players forward trying to make something happen ," Trujillo said. "They kicked a long pass over us and put a chip shot in."

Both T rujillo and Ashton thought MSCD had ample opportunities to win the game.

"I think we played better than them," Trujillo said. "We had the chances to win, but we just didn't capitalize on them."

Against DU, the Roadrunners had more problems finishing on their scoring opportunities and were out shot 13-9.

The second conference loss dropped the 4-2 'Runners behind both Regis, 3-0, and DU, 5- 1, in the standings. MSCD had defeated DU 3-1 on Sept. 9. T he Roadrunners will play the Regis Rangers Nov. 3 at Auraria.
