bility," Haley said. "You'll have the whole faculty supporting the program, where as before, it was just an administrative function. So, the feeling by the college is that this will be a very big plus for all of our international students_ no question."

Haley said Skip Crownhart, the current director of JPS, will become an advisor to international students.

"So, you know, it all works out to everybody's advantage with that type of reassignment," Haley said.

MSCD student Gregory Pekol questions the decision.

MSCD students are concerned about administrative changes to the International Programs and Services department.

MSCD President Sheila Kaplan said JPS is not being disbanded but merely transferred from Student Affairs to Academic Affairs.

"The program will not change," she said. "It simply will now be under the administrative supervision of Dr. Akbarali Thobhani."

"I don't like it when people tell me what is best for Vernon Haley, vice路 president of Student Services, me," Pekol said. "Nobody was consulted. This was a said IPS is being moved specifically to the Intercultural decision that came from the higher-ups.

"The secrecy part is what really drives, I think, everybody's nuts about this."

Both Pekol and MSCD international student Claudia Requard are concerned about the quality of service being upheld under the new supervision.

"How does a part-time person take the place of two full-time people?" Pekol asked. "You have two people in that office right now that have a com~ined experience of 34 years."

Requard said not knowing the expertise of the new IPS director is a problem.

"We don't know a lot about Dr. Thobhani's experience, which probably is a mistake from the administrative side," Requard said. "We do understand that (the) administration has to take action and they have to make

MSCD senior provides booklet for business management students Student takes initiative on comprehensive resource guide about teaching styles, testing techniques and professional background offacuity Travis Henry The Metropolitan A recently completed booklet gives MSCD business management students a chance to evaluate professors and their teaching styles before actually taking their classes.

Robert Hale, an MSCD senior, has compiled the "Professor's Information Booklet." This booklet outlines professors' teaching philosophies, testing styles and professional history. He said he hopes this will give students an idea of what to expect when choosing a professor.

While Hale envisions a schoolwide publication, his scaled-down model focuses on business management personnel only.

The booklet contains a review of 50 percent of all professors in the management department. It took Hale two semesters to complete.

Hale has a simple reason for publishing this booklet: he wants students to stay in class.

"So many times I wish that I knew about a professor before taking him or her," Hale said. "My No. 1 goal of the project is to match student learning styles to professors' teaching styles."

While Hale's ambition is unlimited, funding for a schoolwide booklet is not.

"Funding is a problem," Hale said.

"If this was to go schoolwide, it would have to through school activities or such."

One of the early obstacles Hale faced was with the Golden Key National Honor Society.

When Hale first sent out information stating his envisioned project a year ago, the Golden Key suspended his membership for not asking permission first.

"He was using Golden Key 's name associated with the project without anyone else knowing what was going on," said Frieda Holley, faculty co-advisor of Golden Key. "We asked him to cease and desist on the project and to let us know what was happening in the future. " w~t

~nyttmeyou buy a $200 ·

Item, you want to be able to check It out- what It 1does and how It works.'

·~ AA

The problem, according to Holley, was the different agendas and management styles of Hale and Golden Key. "We asked him to agree that he would not do things without our consent," Holley said. "He did not believe in this because it would slow things down. He believed that there was too much restriction on him."

Golden Key suspended Hale for two weeks, exactly the time left in his term as officer. Holley said they then gave him the opportunity to run for president, a position that interested him, but Hale turned them down.

Hale went to the management department, where his project received a slight-

ly better reception.

While most management personnel liked the idea and offered to contribute, a few full-time personnel refused.

"Anytime there is a new initiative with new information, people are going to be concerned about what kind of information is going out," said Rajendra Khandekar, chairman of the management department: "Professors were wondering what kind of control there was. One individual can put in anything they want."

Khandekar himself thinks the booklet is a great idea and believes students have a right to know what they should expect in a costly investment such as a professor's class.

"Anytime you buy a $200 item (a class) you want to be able to check it out - what it does and how it works," Khandekar said. "One day I would like to see a database of faculty on video."

Hale said information in the booklet such as a section called "Business Connections" for each professor can help students create networks in their fields.

"So many teachers have great connections in the outside world. They are very involved in their fields," Hale said. " Important networking is a key to success."

Copies of the Professor Information Booklet can be reviewed in the management department.

Hale said if a schoolwide publication is ever to be a reality, he will probably not witness it.

"Because I'm a graduating senior, I'll never get the chance to see it," Hale said.

James Byerley The Metropolitan Red lights and signs take on new significance at Auraria Campus as RID prepares Denver for the arrival of its $116.5 million light rail train system, which began testing Aug. 1.

Light rail will impact everyone on campus, creating commuting opportunities as well as traffic hazards. No injuries have occurred since testing began, but two automobile and light rail train accidents have accented the need to know the traffic laws as well as common sense.

"We have been educating the public about light rail through an information campaign," said Andrew Hudson, an RTD media relations specialist. "The media have been very cooperative in getting the word out."

Connie Besser, community services manager for Auraria Public Safety, said she is trying to work with RTD and the city to make the introduction of light rail to the campus a safe one.

Of primary concern on campus is the intersection of West Colfax Avenue and 7th Street. The light rail tracks run parallel to Colfax, crossing 7th just north of the intersection.

Currently, a red light and signs warn motorists to stop before the tracks. Besser said she would prefer the crossing to be treated as a railroad crossing with arms that lower to block traffic.

An additional concern is the 4-inchdeep gaps in the road and cross-walks where the tracks run through the pavement. Besser said she believes they cause a threat to bicyclists, users of wheelchairs, skate boarders, rollerbladers and pedestrians.

She said she would also like to see more beepers for the visually impaired and more lights for the hearing impaired.

Light rail's "quiet nature is definitely not a safe point," Besser said.

Hudson said the trains weigh 40 tons, and need 110 feet to stop at a speed of 25 mph. Traveling from Auraria to Five Points, the train doesn't exceed 25 mph, but between the light rail center at I-25 and Broadway and Auraria, the train travels at speeds of 55 mph, he said.

Besser said RID will give a free 30minute train ride from campus Sept. 21.

The next day, RID will offer a tour of the light rail facility.

The first three days of operation Oct. 7, 8 and 9 - are free. Thereafter, trains will have the same rates as buses $1 during peak hours and 50 cents at other times. It also will be possible to transfer from a bus to avoid paying another fee.

Besser said the first three days of light rail operation may be monitored by police. Some officers may be posted to direct traffic. Traffic citations may be issued if motorists stop on the tracks or cross them before the light turns green, Besser said.

Signs saying "No Waiting Beyond This Point - Denver Police Will Ticket" at the entrance of parking Lot R seem to have little affect on students determined to park there.

Auraria Public Safety posted the blue and white signs in the northeast lot after Denver officials warned they would ticket cars for creating a traffic hazard and blocking the right of way for eastbound traffic on Auraria Parkway, said Connie Besser, community service manager for APS. Most problems with backups occur when the lot fiUs up around 9 a.m., said parking attendant Rob Bord.

APS hired a Denver officer for the first week to advise, not ticket, students when lines snaked out onto the parkway.

CU-Denver freshman Chris Manzur and a handful of others said they had done a few laps around the block in response to the new sign.

"Our police officers cannot issue tickets on those streets, because they are city streets," Besser said, adding that to her knowledge no students have received tickets this semester for waiting on Auraria Parkway.

But many people lined up as usual, ignoring the sign, ranking their spot in line over the threat of citation.

MSCD senior Bonnie Thompson admitted to waiting nervously in the slow-moving line, but she said she has escaped consequence.

When an APS Jeep pulled up behind the line at about 9:30 a.m. one day last week, cars beyond the signs scattered quickly. No tickets were given.

But license numbers can be taken and given to Denver police if APS deems action should be taken, one officer said.

Most students were concerned not about the police activity, but about the long wait - more than an hour for some.

"It's awful when you can't get to class and you're 30 minutes early," said CU-Denver graduate student Linda Butcher.

"They should make it a turn lane," suggested MSCD junior Sivan Gnat. "I'm always late for class."

The information highway has an offramp straight into West Classroom 246. In WC 246, students can get a VAX account to play games or get free information from all over the country.

VAX is a virtual address extension, said Marc Falkenhan, manager of Information Technology . The VAX allows access to the Internet, a link to a host of computer networks. The accounts are fre~ to students with ID. To get a VAX account, students must read and sign a statement promising not to alter data banks, allow two days for the account to be activated, then visit one of the six computer labs on campus with VAX access to the Internet.

From that point, the possibilities are endless. And the instructions are easy: • Click the mouse on the VAX box (on an IBM clone) or Internet access (on Macintoshes); • Type in last name, and the first Jetter of the first and middle name;

•Enter your password (social security number).

Students can electronically send mail to anyone with an E-mail address.

Art major Laura Seward uses her VAX account mostly for mail and "chatlines."

"My best friend lives in Berkeley," Seward said. "That's how I got started. It is a lot cheaper (than talking on the phone)."

Annual awards presented to faculty for 'quality level of service' at MSCD Meredith Myers The Metropolitan Distinguished Service Award recipients were honored during convocation on Aug. 30.

"A desire to provide a quality level of service to Metro State is the key characteristic which all of today's honorees share," said Jerry Boswell, Faculty Senate president.

The annual awards are given to faculty, staff, and administrators who have done a commendable job and provided extraordinary service to the institution, said Virginia Downing, president of the Classified Council. She presented an award to Joan Morris, the finance manager for the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Morris has been with MSCD for over 25 years.

"Managing resources isn't a glamorous or enviable job to have, especially in a public institution, where you can be sure that difficult choices will be scrutinized and the individual making those

choices will held accountable," Downing said.

Morris has served in a budget planning capacity in the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Student Affairs.

Downing said Morris has provided highly valued budgetary consul and assistance.

Nancy Munser, coordinator of special events and conferences, has served the college for 22 years in several capacities, including director of public relations, director of special events and college relations, and assistant to the president. She received the award in the Contract Administrator's category.

"From the first Plain and Fancy Ball to the event we attend today, Nancy's behind-the-scenes coordination has provided the needed expertise to make each and every ceremony, press conference or commencement memorable," said Nancy Breckel, vice president of the Council of Administrators.

"She has consistently set high standards for her students through her teaching skills, through her advisement and through her willingness to share her

knowledge of what it takes to become a capable, professional instructor," Boswell said of Elizabeth Friot, a faculty recipient of the Distinguished Service Award.

Friot has been a professor of secondary education and a member of Faculty Senate for more than 23 years at MSCD. She presided over the first committee to establish a teacher certification program in bilingual and bicultural education, established MSCD's diversity workshops, and has been involved with the Mountain and Northern Plains States Desegregation Center based at MSCD. Boswell also presented an award to Gary Holbrook, who has been a professor of speech since 1968. Holbrook has been teaching at MSCD for 25 years, and is perhaps best known for his coordination of the annual "Friends of the Irish" debate series that began 15 years ago and earned national recognition.

"It is unique to have a distinguished Service Award recipient who has not only made a contribution to the Metro State Campus, but a contribution that is international in scope as well," Boswell said.

High price of peanuts boils over Auraria 's home for beer is also a outhouse.

The Boiler Room, a Tivoli institution, estimates that they spend $1,500 a week on peanuts.

"We go through about 100 pounds a day," says manager Tim Horne.

Throwing shells on the floor is a Boiler Room tradition, and Home and his crew don't even mind it anymore, since they no longer have to sweep them up every night. That task belongs to workers who come in to clean up before the bar opens each morning.

"Some people don't even know this is the Boiler Room," says Home. "They just call it 'the place with the pe3Jluts on the floor.' We ran out of peanuts one time, and we had customers ready to commit hari-kari."

Aren't the salty peanuts intended to cause thirst, which compels patrons to buy more beer and spend more money?

Proposed bicycle ordinance may change student riding habits David Thompson The Metropolitan

::---

A proposed revision to a Denver bicycle ordinance comes 40 years after the original was passed.

The revision will bring the city's bicycle laws up to date with the revised state laws that now define bicycles as vehicles.

Revising the ordinance is reflective of the changing times, said Neil Sperandeo, chairman of Legal Issues Subcommittee for the Denver Bicycle Advisory Committee.

Classifying bicycles as vehicles means that riders will have to follow certain rules.

Bicyclists will have to follow city and state vehicle laws, which will be enforced by the police, even when riding in on-street bike lanes.

The new ordinance better defines the guidelines for which a bicycle can be impounded. The main violations are: • Bikes in an unsafe mechanical condition; • Bikes operated in a reckless manner; • Bikes operated in violation of city or state laws.

Another way you can have your bike impounded is failure to have mandatory equipment, such as headlights and reflectors for night riding, effective brakes and a steering device that gives the rider full control of the bicycle.

The new ordinance also sets limits on how bicyclists can operate their bikes. It will now be illegal for a bicyclist to wear earphones or any other device that would shut out or muffle sounds around the rider.

Bicyclists will not have the freedom to .ride two abreast and must ride single file on the roadways, except in the following situations: • When there is no approaching traffic from the rear; • When bike lanes or paths are set aside for bike use only.

With the new rules, bicyclists will have some new rights they did not have under the old laws.

Bicyclists are now allowed to lock their bicycles to parking meter poles as long as it does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic or access to the meters.

Another advantage for bicyclists is it will be legal to ride on sidewalks as long as the rider obeys traffic signals and rides in a careful manner, yielding to pedestrians.

Denver artist Carlos Fresquez at home with his creations.

'Chicano Connection' show features MSCD prof's work Dave Flomberg The Metropolitan

-·

At first glance, Carlos Fresquez is a softspoken young man with a wann smile and a wise aura.

A Chicano artist whose work has started to gain national recognition, Fresquez's work can be seen at the MSCD Center for the Visual Arts in the show "Chicano Connection," opening today.

Fresquez was born in 1956 in West Denver. He graduated in 1974 from Lincoln High School and went on to earn an undergraduate degree in fine arts from MSCD in 1980. After getting his master's degree from CU-Boulder, he filled in for an absent professor at MSCD, and was bitten by the teaching bug.

"I was hooked," he said. ''I really fell in love with teaching and sharing the knowledge of artistic creation."

Fresquez once worked in a detention center. The guards gave the kids pencils, but collected them at the end of the drawing ~on to keep them from hurting themselves or oth-

ers.

his pencil and put it in his pocket, and gave the pencil back to the guard."

Although the guard didn't see the boy do this, Fresquez did. ''I said, 'Why did you break the lead off of the pencil?' and he said, 'I go into my rell and I draw on the wall.'

'What do you draw?'

'Faces.'

'Why do you draw faces?'

'So that I have someone to talk to.'

"The power of the mark ... there's so much there that you can convey that goes beyond any language."

Fresquez' excitement was almost contagious. It flowed out of him. He smiled and laughed as he spoke, weaving in and out of his beliefs and philosophies on art, all the while pointing to different painting<; on the walls and explaining their relevance. Not only to him, but to the Chicano community.

It is evident that his identity as a Chicano is not only a driving force in his art, but in his teaching as well.

"While I was in Boulder, I met the second Chicano to graduate from their master's program in fine arts. The second! And that's in

A letter to the editor from the Club Funding Committee re: 'inequity" The Club Funding Committee (CFC) , a committee made up of Student Government officers, has been accused of "'inequity' in awarding money for club events" (Hibbert, page 1, The Met, September 2) .

It is true that not every club who has brought a proposal to the CFC has received the full amount asked for in the proposal. A misconception about the CFC process is that clubs who present a proposal for funding will automatically receive the funds for which they ask. The number of MSCD clubs has increased while the amount of the CFC funds has decreased. There is not enough money in the budget to award clubs all the money they request. If every dub was able to receive every penny asked for, the CFC would not be necessary.

Further, the purpose of a club member personally presenting a

proposal to the CFC has always been to inform the CFC members about the proposed event and how MSCD and its students will be involved. The CFC is less inclined to fund an activity when it does not know all the details of the proposed event. Monica Garcia is correct in her assumption that she should not "expect" the CFC to know Chicano history. No person can be expected to know everything. It is our position that a club member presenting a proposal informs us about his or her club and the proposed activity. We do not want to make ignorant decisions, but it is the club's responsibility to provide as much information as possible to aid the CFC in making an informed decision.

The CFC process is not an exact science. With limited time and resources, we can only take the information given and apply it in making what we hope to be fair and

correct decisions. As every person is unique with different perspectives, there will inevitably be people who will not agree with our decisions. There are two voting studentat-large positions open on the CFC and I invite any student who would like to be a part of the CFC process to apply for a position in the MSCD Student Government Assembly Office, Tivoli Student Union, room 307.

As Vice President of Student Organizations and the CFC Chair, I am willing to discuss with any club how to better prepare a CFC proposal. It is the CFC's intent to help, not hinder, clubs in holding activities. I hope to create an environment where the CFC and clubs can work together to benefit the student population.

Sincerely, Brooke McMaken

Prostitution isn't heinous a staff editorial by hould those suspected of propositioning prostitutes have their pictures published in the paper?

This question has been one of debate for the last few months by the Aurora City Council, which proposed the idea sometime last spring.

If the proposal passes, the city would buy newspaper ads featuring photos of men arrested during police stings on East Colfax Avenue.

Now, some, like Councilman Wayne Gaston, may say that this is merely a photo and does not say anyone's guilty. But the fact remains: People are convicted by the media without a trial everyday.

Did Michael Jackson fondle and caress a 10-year-old boy in his路 bed? Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Either way, plenty of people, including myself, put him on trial

S

Isaac Mion I MSCD student and convinced themselves of his guilt after hearing about the allegations week after week .

Some papers and TV stations adopt their own set of ethics for situations such as this, waiting for a judge's decision before getting deeply involved and not sensationalizing it when they do.

This brings us to another question. Should newspapers be willing to run these photos of suspects that are practically mug shots?

Suppose a weary traveler from Las Vegas or Holland were traveling through Colorado on 1-80 and decided to stop for a rest and, not knowing prostitution was illegal here, went ahead and looked for a lady of the evening.

Does he deserve to have his picture put in the paper for this an act of ignorance?

Some may say yes. It is the

law, and the law should be enforced. But it is the responsibility of the law, not the media, or more specifically, newspapers, to do that.

The media does enough damage covering the lives of those accused of crimes who are in the public eye. Imagine the potential damage to someone who is relatively unknown when his picture suddenly appears, in relation to what some may consider a heinous crime.

Three points: One, prostitution is not a heinous crime, it is a nonmalicious act of consent that is kept safe and sanitary in the places where it is legal. Two, the law is not always right. It has convicted innocent people in the past.

Three, newspapers can avoid stooping to the level that lawenforcement has, by not running these photos.

I. don't. want. to. know.

by J.M Schell I MSCD student

a guest editorial t was one of those interminable first-day sessions where the professor asks for public introductions. Each student dutifully arose, muttered an instantly forgotten name and a few words about majors and minors, kids, work, the future and the past. Pretty mundane, neutral stuff. Until the one guy stood and started talking about smokin' the hog.

Not in those terms, exactly, but close enough.

When this student's blood-letting was nigh, he introduced himself as having recently "affirmed" his homosexuality and come out of the closet.

A little scene amply illustrating a problem within our fractured culture: A lack of decorum.

Decorum, according to my dictionary, means to be "marked by propriety and good taste." Which certainly doesn't sound like a primary aspect of a society enraptured by things like "Closet Masturbatory Feces-Eaters and the Pagan Cross-Dressers Who Love Them: Next, on Oprah!" Does it?

Many less cognitive readers will by this point be screaming "homophobe," and refusing to read further. Those reading on in mouth-breathing, knuckledragging expectation of some really nasty gay-bashing might as well take a hike, too. As is usually the case with the ignorantly presupposing in this, the Age of Hysteria, either expectation is wrong.

I don't fear, hate or condemn to everlastin' damnation (!!!) homosexuality and/or homosexuals.

Homosexuality is simply another aspect of sexuality.

Unless I'm involved, I view acts between any consenting adults as none of my business.

Just. Don't. Tell. Me. About. It. I don't want to hear about your homosexuality, heterosexuality or asexuality. I don't want to hear about any sexuality.

It ain't my business.

Still, far too often I find myself an unwilling voyeur to "open and frank" discussions of sexuality at Auraria and elsewhere. "Open and frank" is the

I

â&#x20AC;˘

politically correct term for the decay, the Oprah-fication, of common decency and polite good manners -decorum.

I, like a great many grown-ups of all ages, am neither titillated nor especially shocked by "open and frank" discussions of your sex life - gay, straight or indifferent. Discussing your purchase of candy undies just loud enough to include me is boring (don't embarrass yourself further by childishly claiming that if I didn't want to listen, I wouldn't) . Shouted descriptions of the size and battery capacity of your bedroom appliances are tiresome. Loud hallway explications on your partner's bedroom similarity to various barnyard animals, or that you routinely include livestock in your sexual trysts, is boorish.

And as to your wanting to twirl across the hilltops joyously hollering revelations of your sexual orientation!

I. Don't. Care.

I don't want to hear about it.

It's rude.

It's ill-mannered.

And it shows your total lack of proper social ... decorum.

The need of so many to share these very private and personal matters with anonymous classmates, vague acquaintances and innocent passersby, speaks to deep societal problems. And the fact that my perspective on this is typically viewed as phobic and repressive indicates a rudderless society.

Unless you are truly unhinged, decorum dictates that you should not subject me in classrooms, cafeterias, break rooms and hallways, to "open and frank" and TOO DAMN LOUD play-by-play discussions of your latest sexual encounter.

But we live in a society where, literally, bareall/tell-all television talk shows have replaced culture. A steady, unhealthy diet of Ricki, Oprah, Sally Jesse et. al., leads many to believe their personal sexual histories are A), interesting, and that B), shar-

ing their experiences as a sex slave to a conspiratorial cult of Connecticut quilters, is somehow good for society.

This, by the way, extends to using classrooms as captive audiences to the "sharing" of experiences of rape or child molestation. I suppose we can now bid a fond farewell to another sizeable block of readers.

I don't fear these subjects, either. But when I want to know about them, I'll seek them out on my own terms. Go "share" them with your therapist. No one should be forced, by dint of their presence in a classroom, to participate in discussions of sex gay, straight or indictable. Sure, it's probably healthy in some respects for sexuality to have been dragged out of the closet, so to speak. Especially in regards to rape, incest and child abuse. But now that it's out, too many of us see it as the whole world.

While others identify themselves according to such things as family, major or career, and hopes and dreams, too many others identify themselves according to sexual practice or history.

Standing in a classroom to identify oneself as homosexual/lesbian, a victim of childhood sexual trauma etc., is no different than identifying one's self according to favorite sexual position: Hi, I'm Biff, and I'm a missionary. Hello, I'm Betty and I'm mathematically inclined ...

So the next time you feel the need to loudly embarrass yourself by "sharing" the "open and frank" color commentary on your sexual orientation, frequency, application or implementation, you might want to consider that many of the disapproving stares you're receiving are not generated out of fear, sexual repression or Puritanical prudishness. Like spitting on the sidewalk and nasal mining, such public crudity is distasteful.

Exercise a little decorum, why don'cha.

EIvis commands us: Beat it by The Rev. Mort Farndu don't know about you, but I get cranky once in a while. I'm all tensed up from the job. I'm worried about my kid, my debts, the envi- ¡ ronment. I want something to relieve the stress. I consider alcohol or drugs, but I know that's not the medicine I need. The prescription I'm looking for comes straight from the desk of Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

I need to masturbate to orgasm.

If you're familiar with Dr. Ruth, you know it's her prescription for everything that ails you. Spouse doesn't have a clue how to please you in bed?

Demonstrate how you please yourself, dear masturbate to orgasm!

Depressed?

Unemployed?

Masturbate to orgasm! House burned to the ground? Forget about it. Got terminal cancer? Relax.

Masturbate to orgasm.

The funny thing about Dr. Ruth's magic elixir is it really works.

Nothing mellows the tensed-up body and soothes the nerves like a good orgasm. It's one of the primary benefits of being married or having a steady partner there's always

somebody there to share an orgasm with. It's one of the key criteria when you're dating: Can you orgasm with this person? If you can, you're off and running. If you can't, you're watching for the next Wes tword.

It's time we stripped off the veneer and got down to the bare wood: Orgasms are what make the world go round.

Some of us though, are between partners and not dating at the moment.

There's nobody around to share that orgasm with. (Some of us may even have partners, but they're still not around.) What are we to do when our bodies are screaming for relief and there's not an orgasm-buddy in sight?

Why, the answer is as plain as a missionary's wife.

It's simply time to get a grip and take matters into your own hands. To put your finger on the problem and solve it yourself. It's time to kick back, relax and treat yourself to something really special.

to orgasm.

Of course, there are those righteous ones who would tell you it's wrong to masturbate.

Or to have orgasms outside of marriage, period. It's sinful, they say, and strictly proscribed by God. (As opposed to prescribed by Dr. Ruth.) It is the sin of Onanism in JudeoChristian lore.

But who was this Onan? Why does this terrible sin bear his name?

Onan (Genesis 38:9) inherited his brother's wife after his brother was slain by God for being unrighteous. It was tradition (as Tevye would say) that when your brother died, you got all his possessions, including his wife. And you were supposed to make her pregnant, too. Being fruitful and multiplying was right at the top of the list 5,000 years ago.

But Onan got cold feet at the last second. In the first recorded case of coitus interruptus, Onan pulls out and spills his semen on the ground. Which was so displeasing to God, he slew

of Elvis the Divine

Onan for unrighteousness, too - it's sinful to waste good sperm, after all.

Masturbation is simply the most flagrant violation of this godly law.

Horse snot.

Orgasms are good - and good for you, too - regardless of the number of participants. I'd like to see public service spots on TV promoting it.

Wilford Brimley would work: Nothing wakes me up in the morning like a hot, steaming orgasm - it's the right thing to do!

No sane person thinks otherwise.

Yet some Judea-Christians still spurt forth condemnations based on the archaic moral codes of a nomadic tribe from the dawn of history. Does the word "relevant" mean anything to these people?

Modern religions like Presleyterianism take a more enlightened view. We know Elvis commands us to indulge in worldly pleasures - to gorge ourselves, in fact. We know he has a hunk of burning love for whosoever believeth in him.

And if you're lonesome tonight, we know what the King would do about it.

This royal treatment we received stood out in sharp contrast to the IFE's treatment of the citizens who were in charge of the voting booths on election day. In many cases they were given no training whatsoever.

The students in our delegation traveled in small groups to Chiapas, Oaxaca, Morelos and Estado de Mexico (outside the Federal District of Mexico City) to observe the election. Untrained· voting booth officials were the least of the irregularities we saw.

Our experience of electoral fraud while in Mexico was a combination of learning about past electoral fraud, patterns of government control and manipulation, and the "irregularities" that we_ actually saw on election day. Context is very important to understanding this year's election, and we heard a great deal about past election fraud - which many people euphemistically call "election engineering" - from Mexican students.

This included "shaving" the voting rolls in areas known to have supported opposition parties. On election day, we saw officials turning people away at the voting sites or casillas, telling them they were supposed to vote at the special casi/Ia. These were designated for people who were outside their home district on election day.

This seemed perfectly legitimate except that, at special casillas across the country the police and the army all voted

Nothing's missing, it's all included New Everything But The Girl a perfect invitation to upcoming shows in Denver and Boulder Jeff Stratton Editor in Chief Like successive issues of a magazine, Everything But The Girl albums have always maintained a certain ability to be identified. The London-based duo of Tracey Thorn (vocals) and Ben Watt (guitar, pianos, vocals) maintain their momentum and their trademark sound on their new Atlantic release, Amplified Heart.

Not that they haven't looked elsewhere. They admirably ape Fleetwood Mac on "Get Me," and pass for Patsy Cline on "We Walk the Same Line."

But after a decade in the trenches of England's neo-jazz movement alongside the likes of Sade and the Style Council, EBTG seem to have little to say, but are saying it within the context of some perfectly pristine pop, nonthreatening as all hell, but rewarding nonetheless.

Although their 1984 debut, Eden, found Thorn and Watt proclaiming "we're as unlike as frost and fire," in reality the two have moved closer to each other musically, and the years have aged their voices; Watt's flat, unpretentious singing is more longing and expressive, and Thorn, long pegged as one of Britain's great torch singers, is now unquestionably so.

Many people in this situation were pleading to have t heir voting cards punched even if they couldn't vote because they were afraid they would lose their jobs. This must be understood in the context of a common tactic by the government whereby government employees Call 303-758-4484-Denver would be sent to the polls with ballots already marked for the current rul ing party, the PRI. They had to bring back the blank ballot they were given at the casilla or toll-free 1-800-BETHANY to prove they had voted PRI. Otherwise they lost their jobs.

voting was not private, and one saw what is known as a "carousel." This is where a truck full of people are taken from casilla to casilla to vote several times.

One Mexican national observer discovered how to wash off the "indelible" ink that people were marked with after they voted. The government election commission had publicized that not even acid would remove the ink. The Mexican observer decided to try antacid and found that Alka Seltzer removed it completely.

During the report-back session of the Civic Alliance (the citizen organization that coordinated the election observation), almost every international observer saw gross violations. This, of course, was not reported by the U.S. media, and with good reason. The North American Free Trade Agreement requires continued support by the Mexican government. As the U.S. ambassador to Mexico told us in a meeting at the Embassy, "The only thing that matters to the U.S. government is that there is a stable environment for investment." The United States knows what its priorities are, and democracy is not one of them.

But many people feel otherwise. Our experience in Mexico demonstrated the importance of continued work by people in this country to pressure our government to get its priorities straight.

The Metropolitan THE BAND WITH THE BRAIN: Neil Slade of the Brain Revolutionaries will be playing his brains out Sept. 13 as his band breaks in the sound system at the Tivoli Turnhalle.

)

Special to The Metropolitan/Donna Hickey

This is your brain on lllusic Donna Hickey The Metropolitan

r

Click on your amygdala and prepare to rock your brain.

Neil Slade and the Brain Revolutionaries will be the first band to perform Sept. 13 in the Tivoli Student Union Turnhalle.

They want to turn on your brain.

The "musical Johnny Brain Apple Seeds" will be making their third appear_ ance from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

"We like rock 'n' roll, and we like brains," says Neil Slade, guitarist, vocalist and spokesman for the band. "We are the band with the brain."

Slade can say that because an actual freeze-dried brain is displayed at performances.

Slade graduated summa cum laude as a music major in 1978 from MSCD. After MSCD, he spent 11 years studying under T.D. Lingo, head of the Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory.

The organ on display once was a professor of Lingo's who taught at the University of Chicago. Now it is a thought-provoking rock 'n' roll icon.

Slade says their music is the engine that drives the brain truck; their music is the vehicle for turning the brain into a fad.

Why does the brain need to be a fad?

"The bottom line is, if humanity doesn't become efficient at solving its problems we won't make it into the 21st century."

We will self-destruct, Slade says, adding that problems like AIDS and what is happening in Rwanda are examples of

self-destruction.

Slade says that the sleeping parts of the brain can be turned on like turning on a light. switch. The fad itself is to click the amygdala - that small almond shaped mass of gray matter in the anterior portion of the temporal lobe - forward. He says the amygdala acts like a thermostat for the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The brain has built-in reward mechanisms that encourage a person to act intelligently and promote survival, Slade says.

The more brain you use the better chance you have at anything. If you are using a small fraction of your brain, the amygdala gives you negative emotions.

But if you use a lot of your brain, the amygdala gives you positive emotions, Slade says.

Anyone can click forward to the front of their brain by doing specific brain exercises, Slade says. The brain is not a muscle that always needs to be used, but once the neurons are connected, then the doors are always open, he says.

"It is like building railroad tracks. Just because the train doesn't run on them, the tracks don' t disappear - it is additional neural connections."

If a computer were built that could handle all the processes of the brain, it would be the size of Texas, Slade says.

The majority of our brain is sleeping.

"All the problems on the planet are perpetuated by man. The reason they are not solved and man has created them is because the majority of our brain is sleeping."

Student's volunteer work enriches his life Jennifer Schreiner The Metropolitan "Maybe I needed to yell at Jeff and I did. I just said it very sternly - to quit suffering. 'This is ridiculous, Jeff.

You've got to let go. You've got to go sometime. You might as well go now."'

Jeff Nelson, a Buddy Program volunteer for the Colorado AIDS Project, was with Jeff (last name withheld), an AIDS patient who died on July 9 at St. John 's Hospice in Lakewood. He was 29.

Nelson left the room to speak with patients who had grown close to Jeff.

"After about five minutes I started walking back in, and the nurse was heading my way and she said, 'Jeff is passing.' And I ran. I began running and I began crying all at the same time. It seemed to take forever to get to that room.

"I ran into his room and the priest was at the foot of the bed giving him his last rites .... I ran to Jeff's bedside. I picked him up in my arms. ... I pressed his face to my ear, and as I did the last of his breath came out in a gurgle into my ears.

"It's a sound I will never, ever for-

get, the rest of my life."

Nelson, president of the MSCD Student Association of Social Workers, met Jeff in early May after Nelson had gone through training for the Buddy Program.

The training includes AIDS information, psychological issues, communication, loss/grief and an interview process to get paired with an AIDS patient, said Deborah Judish, director of Client Services for the Colorado AIDS Project.

The Buddy Program is one of the oldest volunteer programs at CAP, which began in 1984. Now there are about 100

Adceptedat more sch0ols than you -were.

volunteers acting as "buddies," with more AIDS patients on a waiting list, Judish said.

Volunteering for the Buddy Program grew out of a requirement for the social work program - to volunteer for class credit. Nelson began at the CAP Food Bank before switching to the Buddy Program, he said. As a buddy, Nelson was there for whatever Jeff needed, including taking him shopping for model cars and calling an ambulance when Jeff's legs lost their feeling and he was temporarily paralyzed.

Nelson also worried about Jeff committing suicide because of severe edema, a painful swelling in his legs that could have been caused by cancer or by the chemotherapy Jeff underwent to stave it off.

And they talked about Jeff's imminent death.

"Here is this 29-year-old man telling me he was ready to die," Nelson said. "I had no idea what it would look like when someone died."

Nelson began volunteering as a crisis counselor for Marilyn Van Durber-Atler Survivors United Network, counseling adult survivors of incest and child abuse.

Now Nelson hopes to raise campus consciousness as well as money for CAP. Nelson's club and others on campus are raising money for a pledge walk Sept.

11 at Cheesman Park. The walk benefits 31 organizations that serve people living with AIDS. Nelson said he understands the fear most people have of this dise!lse and feels proud of. himself because of his experience.

"I had to do it to learn about myself, life, death and my own goodness."

And he's already called CAP to be given another buddy.

The Metropolitan bids a fond farewell to Dr. Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs and dean of Student Life. Since July 1988, Thorpe has been a supporter and friend to students, faculty and staff at Metropolitan State College of Denver. You'll be missed, Karen.

Men Lose to Falcons

'·

r

For most of the Sept. 5 season opener against Air Force, the new-look MSCD men's soccer team played the Falcons virtually even.

However, after scoring just one goal in the first 74 minutes, the Falcons struck for thr~e goals in the next 13:24 on the way to a convincing 4-0 victory over the young Roadrunners before 151 fans at the Air Force Academy.

Although offense is expected to be the Roadrunners' strength this season, it was their defense that kept them in the game until midway through the second half.

The Falcons jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when Jeff Pulley scored from close range on a kick assisted by Scot McDonald 12:00 into the opening half.

However, MSCD, which has just two returning starters from lasl year's squad, played Air Force even for the next 64:06.

The score remained .l -0 until the 74:06 mark of the second half when Dan Clayton scored the first of his two goals, giving the Falcons a 2-0 edge. "' Air Force scored again six minutes later when Matt Anderson put a shot by MSCD goalkeeper Larry Sersante, who stopped 11 shots in the loss.

The Falcons rounded out the scoring 7:35 later, when Clayton scored his second of the night to put Air Force up 4-0.

Air Force outshot MSCD 15-7 in the victory, including a 10-4 edge in the first half, "when Sersante stopped 9 of 10 shots.

The Roadrunners kicked off their Colorado Athletic Conference season Sept. 7 against the University of Denver.

Results were unavailable at press time". MSCD continues their season today when they take on Cal Poly Pomona at DU. Game time to be announced at a later date.

Getting their kicks Michael BeDan Sports Editor You can't stop Rosie Durbin, you can only hope to contain her. Puget Sound and N.E. Missouri found out that even containment is hopeless as MSCD's star forward put on a soccer clinic in opening matches Sept. 3 and 5.

"We have a lot of talent out there," Durbin said. "It is clicking together and we have a lot to build on," she added modestly, declining to talk about her performance.

Her performance and that of the entire MSCD side, spoke for itself.

MSCD clobbered Puget Sound 6-0 Sept. 3, and Durbin posted a deuce in the goal and assist department. As if that weren't enough, Durbin out-did herself Sepf. 5 by scoring three goals and assisting on another in MSCD's 4-0 win over N.E. Missouri.

MSCD senior mid-fielder Jessa Montoya said Durbin has never played better.

"Totally incredible," Montoya said. "She's always been consistent, but I've never seen her come out so physically and mentally strong."

Durbin scored five goals and added three assists giving her a hand (leg), in eight of MSCD's 10 goals. She was chosen as the Colorado Athletic Conference player of the week for her efforts.

Coach Ed Montojo said his biggest concern was to keep his team captain healthy all season.

"She is one of the premiere forwards in the United States," he added.

Montojo said that the only real question mark entering the season was central defense because he lost two players from last year's squad. The question has been answered loud and clear by a Roadrunner defense that has allowed just 16

6-0 thrashing of Puget Sound. shots in two games. MSCD has shot the ball 42 times.

Is MSCD a balanced team?

Six Roadrunners, ranging from freshmen to seniors, have scored goals.

Freshmen Shannon Wise and Emma Thompson scored a goal each on Sept. 3 as did sophomore Jamie Morgan and junior Melissa Villani. As for seniors, well, Durbin, as mentioned, has five goals, and Melissa Villani scored the first goal of the season at 22: 15 against Puget Sound. Another freshman, Jill Vollmuth, scored against N.E. Missouri on Sept.

5.

"Our offensive attack has been awesome," coach Montojo aptly noted after the 20 start by his explosive team.

"We have five new starters this

season and they are playing great."

MSCD is playing great defense, but the goal keepers are doing their part as well.

Sophomore goalie Chellie McCourt has made six saves.

Ditto for freshman keeper Jennifer Pierce who has seen extended playing time due to the nature of the MSCD blowouts.

"Our goal keeping is much improved," Montojo said.

"McCourt returning for her second year in net, and Pierce is doing really well also."

MSCD plays its fust CAC game Sept. -10 at Southern Colorado. It will be the first of 12 road games for MSCD compared to just eight games at home, two of which have been completed. With six home and

12 away games remaining it will be important for the Roadrunners to stay focused and be up for every game.

"It is tough playing away from home," Montoya said.

"The first couple of away games will be a real test."

Montoya said that the CAC games are always the fiercest battles, but MSCD's depth should help them through.

"We have a ton more depth than last year's team," Montoya pointed out. "We finished the season last year with 14 or 15 players on the team."

MSCD sports a 23-woman roster this season.

The Roadrunners play three straight on the road before returning home to play at 2 p.m. Sept. 18 against USC.

Mark Cicero The Metropolitan The winning tradition the MSCD women's volleyball team has built was in full bloom after its first weekend of play, winning three of its four opening matches.

"We played pretty good, seeing as how we haven't played together," senior outside hitter Chelsea Terrell said. "We'll get a lot better as the year goes on."

The Roadrunners opened the season Sept. 1 against South Dakota State University in a non-conference match.

After losing the first game to the Jackrabbits 17-19, MSCD won three straight games, 15-2, 15-11, 16-14, to clinch the match.

Junior middle blocker Crissy Canada led the Roadrunners with 21 kills in 34 attempts. MSCD also got 15 kills each from Terrell and sophomore outside hitter Stacey Hoyt.

Defensively, the Roadrunners were solid, digging the ball 83 times, led by Terrell with 26.

"I think we played pretty well for the first time. We started working together," Canada said. "We played apart at times, but we started to bring it together."

The Roadrunners did bring it together

A genius figured it outHP built it in.

• Built-in equations, functions, and menus guide you through complex calculations.

simply smashing Sept. 2-3, finishing second in the 1994 Burger King Classic in Fargo, N.D. MSCD (2-1) finished one game behind the champions, Minnesota-Duluth (3-0).

"If I was to tell you beforehand how well we would have done," MSCD head coach Rhonda Williams said, "I don 't know if I could tell you we were going to do that well."

'We were behind. and It ·was great to beat a teatn that Is tradlfional/y very good.'

-Rhonda ·wu11oms The Roadrunners opened the tourney by defeating North Dakota State University 9-15, 15-13, 15-9, 14-16, 1513.

Again, the offensive charge was led

by Canada with 18 kills in 42 attempts.

Hoyt added 14 kills and Terrell 12.

"When we played the five-game match against North Dakota State, it showed really the true toughness of the team," Williams said. "We were behind, and it was great to beat a team that is traditionally very good."

In MSCD's second match of the tourney, hitting errors and Jack of defense contributed to the Roadrunners' 12-15, 15-7, 11-15, 9-15 loss to Minnesota-

Duluth.

"I think our defense was really poor and were not hitting very well," Williams said. "They were a huge team, all around 6-foot. They blocked our first couple of hits, and our hitters just got timid."

The Roadrunners ended the match with a .059 attack percentage with 39 errors compared to the .157 attack percentage and only 23 errors for MinnesotaDuluth.

MSCD found the winning formula again in its final game of the tournament, beating Winona State 15-6, 15-3, 15-4.

The Roadrunners hit the ball better than in any previous game of the season, ending with a .306 attack percentage.

MSCD dominated the match with 41 kills and 38 digs, led by Canada with 15 kills, and holding Winona State to only 20 kills and a .068 attack percentage.

Five-foot-eight-inch Chelsea Terrell claimed top honors for MSCD, being named to the 1994 NDSU Burger King Classic All-Tournament Team. She ended the tourney with 41 kills, 38 digs and 11 service aces.

"I don't really know how I got it. I was really inconsistent," Terrell said. "I thought I hurt us more than I helped, but someone must have noticed."

MSCD played on Sept. 7 agamst Adams State at home. Results were unavailable at press time.

The Roadrunners travel to Davis, Calif., on Sept. 9-10 for the 1994 Western Invitational.
