Some of the benefits of Depo-Provera.

Depo-Provera is an injection you get from your doctor or nurse, every three months. When taken as scheduled-just 4 times a year-it's more than 99% effective.

So it's one of the most reliable contraceptives available.

Depo-Provera has been used for many years by millions of women in countries like England, France and Sweden. And DepoProvera is reversible. Once you stop using it, you can usually become pregnant within one year. Depo-Provera from Upjohn is a prescription product thaf costs about the same per year as birth control pills.

Many women wish they didn't have to remember their birth control every day. If you're one of them, you might want to know about Depo-Provera.

-- - --

But before you consider any birth control method, you should discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare professional.

The Student Health Center provides Depo-Provera as well as other methods of Birth Control.

which may be considered among the risk factors for development of osteoporosis.

Depo-Provera is not right for every woman.

Women with a family or personal history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease, or those who think they might be pregnant, should not use Depo-Provera.

Remember, Depo-Provera does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

But it does provide highly reliable birth control you only have to think about 4 times a year. If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your healthcare professional.

Metro tuition on the rise ,

Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer Metro President Sheila Kaplan is constructing a tuition plan that could mean a slight increase for most students, and big changes for those taking more than 15 credit hours.

Kaplan unveiled her plan in an e-mail letter dated Feb. 16. In most cases, the increase will be around $30 per semester. Students who go above the 15 credit hour mark, though, could see increases double that.

In the .letter, Kaplan said she is still committed to keeping Metro affordable, but "the college cannot keep losing ground in relative funding if we are to continue to fulfill our mission of providing a high-quality education that prepares our diverse student body for the workforce of the future."

The increase would add more than $1 million a year to Metro's $55 million annual budget over the next three years.

Of the $3.2 million the plan could raise overall, Kaplan said $2.5 million of that would be used to reduce Metro's dependency on part-time professors, reduce class sizes and improve the areas of reading, writing, mathematics and critical thinking skills.

The remaining $700,000 would be used for student programs that help keep students in college and increase graduation rates. These programs include orientation, ·advising, counseling, financial aid counseling, career counseling and placement services.

Alfonso Suazo, student representative to the Colorado Board of State Colleges, supports .the tuition increase because "our tuition is lower than any of the community colleges, far below the universities and we are the most under financed in the general fund of the legislature."

Daryl Jackson, a junior at Metro, said he is skeptical of any increase, but said the plan seems fair.

"I like the goals that she's aiming for," he said.

Metro freshman Katie McDonald did•not like the idea.

"It's hard enough to pay for college as it is, and I think it's easier when you have a set thing every year," McDonald said.

Hardest hit by the new plan would be those students who wish to go above 15 credit hours.

Students currently pay $20 per credit hour for any hours between 12-18.

Kaplan' s plan will raise the price of a credit hour to just $23 if the student stays below 15 credit hours.

Those who wish to go above 15 will pay $63 per credit hour, more than three times what they do now.

The increases may not stop there. Kaplan's plan will be added on to any general increase by the State Board of Colleges.

Kaplan encourages any feedback on the plan.

Feedback must be made by March 6.

Metro exp~rimenting with multiple-term registration Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan

Multiple-term registration is corning to Metro this spring as part of President Sheila Kaplan' s goal to make the college more customer-service oriented.

Students can begin registering for summer and fall semesters at the same time starting April 24.

"We really want to serve students better and it really helps students to know further ahead of time what classes are offered and when ," said Joan Foster, interim provost.

As usual, new students will receive first priority for registering. Students having attended Metro during the spring semester with 119 or more credit hours will be scheduled next.

According to Al Rodriguez, assistant vice president of student services, the only thing different about registration priority is that continuing students who did not attend Metro during spring semester won' t be given the priority they have in the past.

New students have always been given first priority.

"That has really never hurt any of our continuing ·1.tudents," said Rodriguez.

For the non-traditional students, planning is a necessity, said Student Government Assembly President Megan Reyes. "Multiple-term registration is an advantage for students," Reyes said. She added that it bothers her that first-year students have more of an advantage when registering than a senior, but The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wilets that she had been assured that a senior would never be denied access to a class.needed for graduation.

Jerry Boswell, a Metro finance professor and Metro's Class schedules for summer will be mailed faculty senate president, received emergency medical attention for chest pains on Tuesday, and was transaround March 27 and fall schedules should go out a ported by ambulance to Denver General Hospital week later, Rodriguez said. Registration permits where he's still under observation. will go out about the same time as the schedules.

Students can access the summer and fall 1995 schedule through Metro' s Internet Gopher system by the end of February.

This system allows access through home computers and Metro ' s computer lab.

Deadlines for tuition payment and dropping classes have not changed.

Rodriguez However, instead of using a four-digit call number, an extra number will be added to indicate the term for which a student is registering.

Rodriguez said he didn' t see any drawbacks for students, although there may be some for administration and faculty.

He also said that determining staffing needs and how many class sections to offer will take time to perfect.

Getting department chairs on-line has accelerated the process of making the class schedule. In the past, the schedule was done by hand and then sent to admissions where someone entered the information into a database. ''The ultimate goal is to do three semesters or multiple-year registrations," Rodriguez said.

He added that if students could pick their classes before the semester ends, they would think twice about going to another school.

Most students like the idea of multiple-term registration. " It's like getting more groceries without having to go to the grocery store twice," said Craig Wellbrock, a Metro junior.

Student's death leaves unanswered questions Christopher Anderson Dave Flomberg The Metropolitan In a twist of destiny, 25-year-old Vincent Zakis was found dead in an alley from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound hours after signing his graduation application at Community College of Denver.

The body of Zakis, a nursing student, was discovered in the alley 100 feet Zakis away from his 1912 S. University Blvd. apartment. He was found at 8:45 p.m. Feb. 10, according to the police report. His Medical Surgical professor, Sheri Bremer, said she signed his graduation application after a 2 p.m. class that Friday. Bremer said Zakis gave no indication of being depressed, but added that he wasn't necessarily upbeat.

Stephen Zakis, Vincent's father, described his son's death as unexpected.

"I can't find (a reason for suicide) in any of his stuff - it was a complete sur, ,-

prise," his- father said. "He had just bought his own computer. He was working ... none of his friends know why, none of his coworkers said why, but then I guess you can't always tell. He was a very good son."

The Denver coroner's office said Zakis died from a bullet wound in the abdomen and has ruled the death a suicide.

Denver police told Zakis' father that a .22 caliber handgun was found near the

I

body.

f·

Denver Police Sgt Jon Priest said that certain evidence led him to believe that it was a suicide.

"It had been snowing that night and there was a single set of footprints that led to his body," Priest said. "And they were his footprints."

Bremer said it's possible that Zakis was exhibiting pre-suicide behavior, but she added, "To say he was stressed any more than anybody else is right now, he didn't appear to be."

"Some of the students have said that they felt like he had been distancing himself since January," Bremer said. "But everybody is so busy that they didn't really notice it."

Classmate and close friend Mary Galloway said he would be dearly missed.

"He was intelligent, good looking and a real gentle person," she said.

many of you are upset at what happened to me, but in academia, such things happen. So-please enjoy your college years and I hope to see you again someday, somewhere.

And to the person who actually wrote the letter: 1. Please get your facts straight.

If you are a student, read this Mama Mariani Jean Mariani-Sear Well, I must say the response to the December article on contract majors was underwhelming in the extreme. I got a Christmas card that mentioned it. Guess I can use that bin I picked up for something the students here have plenty of: apathy. Hey, I know this is a commuter campus and the students are less involved than if they lived on site, but this is asinine.

I'm here for an education too, but I'm a consumer and director of my educational process. I'm not just filling a seat or two on my way to any old degree they hold out for me to choose from. What makes this so hard to swallow is that anyone, with interest and motivation, can design an integrative course of study, not just for your education but for your life.

And what is more necessary to a good life than an education? Money, you say?

Nah. That's unnecessary to a good quality of life. I'm nuts (or worse, communist) to think this way, you say? Maybe my therapist would agree with the first, but it

pays her bills. As to the second, I lean more toward the socialist, feminist, gnostic and Wiccan in my philosophy of life, all of which emphasize cooperation and systems theory.

Do these leanings make me different from the average student? Perhaps they do, but the friends I have made and people I have talked to on campus echo many of my feelings and views on different topics. Have I talked to you, the reader, with this paper in their hands? Yes, some I have. You are all perfectly willing to express a view as long as it is done orally and/or privately and does not involve putting your gluteus maximus on the line. Take a stand for something besides consuming mass quantities of beer and money. Rock the boat a little. If we say nothing, what are we living for?

Is not the alleged purpose of human life on the planet to make a difference with others, to have committed relationships with others, to raise children to carry on our standards, whatever those are? Well, I have news for the majority of the students out here today: IF YOU DON'T COMMUNICATE, NONE OF THIS IS POSSIBLE!! The people at my junior college in the '80s wrote more about what was going on at school, but it

was a residential campus.

If your only purpose for being here is to get your education (such as it will be without your input), then I wish you well and hope you're out as soon as you want to be. Sooner. If your purpose is to make a difference for yourself and others, then, good Goddess, write! Talk on paper! Express yourself in a way you can't later deny that you did. Take some risks besides lighting up your next cigarette or driving the Valley Highway during rush hour or breathing our downtown air.

Is such self-expression dangerous?

Sometimes. But the preponderance of history has taught us that not speaking up for yourself and others is far more dangerous. I offer as cases in point the Holocaust and the Inquisition. These mass murders in the name of the sponsoring institutions of Nazism and the Catholic Church could have been nipped in the bud early in their development if someone with status and moxie had stood up and denounced them. Instead, we have a history of killing people who are different or presented to us as undesirable, sometimes over the passage of centuries, as with the Inquisition, or just over decades, as with Hitler. The numbers of both these tragedies are star-

None dare call it r-a cis·m Less than two months ago, this campus was aghast at the vulgarity of a flyer disparaging Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. .•Having read this document, I, too, Jan recognize the indignity that thos.e targeted were meant to feel. An incident such as this, even if only the act of a •. bizarre and confused individual, reveals an ugly shadow of the human condition, part the perpetrator knows best to keep hidden.

What I find interesting is that there is a form of racism as dark and malignant as ·that which was evidenced in the flyer.

It rears its malicious head amongst us, yet there is no comparable outcry of righteous indignation as that shown by the Mexican-American community. The blatant racism I refer to is that shown by the Nation of Islam and its followers.

This last week, impeccably attired representatives of this organization were on campus distributing, for donations of one dollar, their pulp news publication The Final Call, a paper designed to .exhibit this organization as the paragon of African-American virtue. This writer suggests.that you read this newspaper, especially the back page. There you will find the racist, separatist diatribe against White America. Better still, read the published speeches and writings of its leaders, The Honorable Elijah Mohammed and Min. Louis Farrakhan. There you will find scathing and hateful indictments of all European Americans, twisted and distorted incriminations that rival the racist ramblings of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. But is there an outcry against blatant racism when it comes· from the officially designated minority? No, there is not. This is sanctioned racism, for it comes from a source beyond impeachment, the designated minority.

There is a strange inconsistency in

a

our attitudes. This inconsistency is found in a hypocritical double standard when it applies to race or cultural background.

On one hand, we condemn anyone who even inadvertently offends a designated "minority." We do not allow negative generalizations about any sub-set of the population, and for good reason. To openly denigrate others on the basis of their race or cultural background is an insult to us all and is justifiably deplored.

But there is another form of unabashed racism. Even if equality of opportunity has been demonstrated, vocal opponents of racism are reluctant to cut the ties that bind minorities to policies that grant special consideration on the basis of race or cultural origin. When a sub-group based upon race or cultural heritage is the recipient of special consideration, be it affirmative action or eligibility for special treatment because of "disadvantaged status,• it is good racism. However, if someone makes a generalization, or characterizes an individual by race or cultural background and this happens to offend the minority or their liberal friends, it is bad racism.

We seem to embrace the concept of "sanctioned" and "unsanctioned" racism.

Unsanctioned racism is the obvious, often public, display of intolerance and bigotry that sup~dly characterized the attitudes of much of pre-1960's mainstream America. A familiar example is illustrated by organizations such as the Aryan Nation or the Ku Klux Klan.

With the exception of the zealots on both sides, unsanctioned racism is boorish, archaic, and, to most Americans, the sign of an ignorant or anti-social individual. The rapid condemnation by the majority of overtly racist acts, such as the flyer incident, serve to indicate that there is·a broad consensus against such

unacceptable attitudes and behaviors.

Sanctioned racism is of a more subtle type, but not always. Sanctioned racism is the mind-set that endorses the fragmentation of our society into highly vocal subunits-the Balkanization of America. Sanctioned racism approves of treating some groups differently than others, usually in the name of some moral imperative. And sanctioned racism disallows any equally vocal condemnation of openly racist and profane organizations such as the Nation of Islam and its bigoted leadership.

Sanctioned racism wraps its followers in a cocoon of virtue, and believe their noble cause and moral superiority convey upon them an exalted state that forbids any serious discussion of the basic premises of their ideology. Be careful if you question the propriety of any "progressive" class, program of study, or other piece of social engineering designed for the purpose of •increasing awareness" or •encouraging cultural diversity." To question the scholastic merit of such programs is to invite being labeled, at the least, insensitive, or, if you persist, the label of "racist." It is not fashiOnable to insist that every person be treated as an individual; that all people be treated on the basis of· who they are, not what they are.

The sanctioned racists wield more than their share of political power and bureaucratic influence. They also have a vested interest in the propagation of their Ideology of Inequity. The power of the sanctioned racists requires the continuance of oppression, or more important, the perception of it. This is because if the War For Equality Of Opportunity was to be declared over and won, their philosophy and cause would be declared irrelevant. They would be

tlingly similar: roughly 9 million (that's 9,000,000) casualties all told.

We humans are wonderful people, but we are lazy. We like to take the easiest route between two points, even when it means others will suffer, including the earth, our Mother. If we "get ours" or "protect our own," we have accomplished our ends, but how many others have paid the price for our lassitude?

Very recently in the Rocky Mountain News, I found an undated German proverb: "One does evil enough when one does nothing good." Perhaps we could shorten it to "One does evil enough when one does nothing." Certainly many of the students here are willing to do nothing.

If you are angry at this column for taking you to task over your lackadaisical response to an issue that potentially impacts your education, good!! WRITE US ABOUT IT!! Remember, this is Mama talking to you, and this is for your own good. So open that pen wide and let the ink spill out. Vent your spleen (I'll bet your mother didn't invite comment) and let's see the results right here. Good Goddess, the Republicans are getting more press than the reasonable people!

stranded on the beaches of social evolution, bereft of followers and their reason for existence.

I am not so much insulted and outraged, but rather disappointed-disapp0inted by a student body and administration that lacks the moral courage to say •Enough!" to racism in any of its many forms. It is easy to mouth platitudes that conform to commonly accepted, politically correct norms. Jt is more difficult, especially for the minority, to stand and declare that the opportunity to succeed exists in this country without special considerations or paternal favoritism.

There is an alternative to sanctioned racism. Let us call it "Equalitarianism."

Equalitarianism shall mean the embodiment in all of our actions the principle of judging others on the basis of who they are, not what they are. We must dispense with the "feel good" policy of allowing someone's race or background as the criteria for either special treatment or as the passkey to the ranks of · victimhood.

We are all in the minority. We each comprise a minority. A minority of·one.

It's not a pretty picture that Paul Armstrong (Sean Connery) has to look at, as town detective Tanny Brown (Laurence Fishburne) lays out the pictures of the corpse and the crime scene.

Armstrong has come in search of the truth about who killed Joanie Shriver, because he believes in the innocence of Bobby Earl Ferguson (Blair Underwood), and because he does ncif>believe in the justice of capital punishment.

He is Sherlock Holmes, digging, asking, probing. Always friendly, always calm, but determined to shed some light on the unknown.

The clock is ticking - a man's life is on the line.

Ferguson is a young black man who was arrested because the color of his car matches the one the little girl climbed into

Expect the unexpected from Just Cause, a suspense thriller starring Sean Connery, Laurence Fishburne and the Florida Everglades.

The story is clear: A wise guy comes to rescue the innocent guy, who has been put on Florida' s Death Row by the bad guys.

That's the story according to the previews. Not a bad story.

But why would somebody who likes suspense spend his green on a movie that ends with the expected end?

Because that ain't it.

Just Cause, directed and produced by Ame Glimcher, starts out as a nice, foreseeable story about justice and injustice in a small community governed by a thick layer of unspoken rules and overshadowed by racial discrimination. The rules have stuck to that nice little town just like the layers. of thick vivid green that overshadow the surrounding swamp.

The win was the 10th straight for Metro, improving the team to 12-12 overall and 10-0 in the CAC, giving the Roadrunners their second regular season CAC crown in three years.

Metro coach Darryl Smith said the team expected to win the game.

"I told them before the game, 'this is the day you win a conference championship,"' Smith said.

Smith was right.

Metro fell behind 5-2 at the 17:27 mark of the first half. Then, Metro center Vanessa Edwards bit a jumper off a pass from guard Tammi Baumgartner to cut the lead to 5-4, and point guard Sarah Eckhoff nailed a three-pointer to put the Roadrunners up 7-5 at 15:58, Metro never trailed again.

The Roadrunners will tum their attention to finishing the season undefeated with one game remaining. Assistant coach Ray Jay Johnson said keeping focus is the task at hand now that the conference title is sewn up.

"We haven't done anything yet," Johnson said.

Metro plays its last regular season game Saturday night at the University of Southern Colorado, and if the Ro.a drunners win they will complete the first undefeated CAC season in Metro women's basketball history.

The women will then return to Pueblo for the CAC Tournament March 2, and, barring a first-round upset, will play for the tournament title March 4. The Roadrunners won the tourney last season in dramatic fashion. Down by one against the University of Denver, Baumgartner drained the winning jumper with four seconds remaining, sealing a 75-74 victory and sending Metro to its first ever appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament where they lost 88-65 to Augustana.

Runaway Cranes Jeff Stratton Editor

-

The band Cranes are named after a piece of construction equipment or a bird -or both.

"It can mean either," postulates singer Alison Shaw. "Originally it was the construction crane, but I guess it's a bird as well." This indecision even shows up in the band's music. On their latest record, Lov~d (Arista), Shaw and her bandmates fabricate a sound that owes a debt to Jim "Foetus" Thirwell' s grindcore m.o. as well as to a Debussy-styled impressionism. Loved, Cranes' third album, is more delicate than its predecessors.

"We're a bit more colorful these days," says Shaw, who with her brother, Jim, co-founded the band six years ago in Portsmouth, England. "I think we've always liked to have a good contrast between having very dynamic-sounding songs and more dream-like, atmospheric things. The music's more open and more expansive than it used to be. There are gentle moments, yes, but then a song like 'Lilies,' I think, is more noisy and direct."

Perhaps most direct of all is Shaw's voice - a nearly pre-pubescent babywhisper. She says she's had no formal •· musical training and no vocal coaching, which may explain why hers is one of the most unusual and recognizable voices around.

"I just sing, really," she says modestly. "It's just there, your voice. You don't have to learn how to \'>lay ic. For me, it's the most direct part o( expressing myself.

And it's a release: It's. good to be able to

make up different stories and atmospheres. But I think the vocals in our songs should nearly always be taken in context with the music, rather than separated from it."

After Cranes' first album, Wings of Joy, was released in 1991, the band was swept off its feet in fairy-tale fashion by The Cure, who took them on a stadium tour of the world. ''The whole Cure experience we had a couple of years ago was brilliant. It was an ideal supporting situation. We' d love to do that again sometime," says Shaw.

After 1993's Forever was released, the band embarked on a small U.S. tour, playing clubs and small venues. " We didn't get to play in Denver that time," she laments. "It was a pity, but there were lots of places we had to miss."

Now, Cranes are in the middle of another tour of the States, which will bring them to Denver for the first time since they opened for The Cure at McNichols nearly four years ago. Last week, a show in New Orleans and another in Houston were canceled while Shaw fought a bout with bronchitis. "But don't worry - I'll be fine by the time we' re in Denver," she says with a cough.

Cranes' flair for dramatic music will be addressed through the band's stage setup. "We've got a theatrical backdrop this . ~ .. says S haw. "In Europe, we had time, some other stage scenery as well that we couldn't bring over to America, which is a bit of a pity. It's all right to come over from England, tum up at the venue and just play, but I think it's good if you can create an atmosphere officially as well.

"The backdrop is a sky-and-cloud

Then we had clouds painted on big boards suspended in front of the backdrop so that it looked three-dimensional. But we couldn't bring the big boards with us since they were 6 feet by 8 feet wide, and it was impossible to transport them.

"But I tried," Shaw giggles .

"Everyone laughed at me for trying to bring these ridiculous big clouds with me over the Atlantic."

Ladies and gentlemen, desperate times require desperate measures.

Which is why it's time once again for The Beat Farmers perpetually-traveling get-down kick-ass honky tonk Pandemonium Fabulon and beer-soaked Excitation Show to roll through town.

What's that you say? Never heard of 'em? Well, that ain't their fault. They've only played here about a half-abazillion times to sold-out crowds of rabidly loyal followers. Why, they're the sleazekings of rockin' roadhouse boogie whose legendary live shows have set house bar records across the world!

Much of their 11-year success can be attributed to the band's dual personality: When staff madcap Country Dick Montana stays behind the drums, they are a straightforward roots-rock outfit, drawing on influences as varied as Johnny Cash, Lou Reed and George Jones.

But when The Right Reverend Montana (honest, 14 weddings so far) takes the mic, all hell breaks loose. A hedonistic celebration of booze-inspired chaos quickly ensues, and the place turns into a disruptive hillbilly whiskeyfest replete with beer juggling, parlor tricks and degenerate campfire songs. Singalongs are in order as Montana leads the crowd with his basso profundo cement mixer vocal stylings. Then he'll fill his hat with beer, pop a couple martinis while he does a wigglestick dance en route to the edge of the stage, flop into the crowd and demand a ride to the bar. If he comes by, get him a beer and keep a keen eye out for your girlfriend, as Montana is a notorious kissing bandit. Properly refreshed, he'll get back on the drums and the show will commence to

Swi0101ers splash to success Men finish second, send two swimmers to nationals while women place third in league championships ...

J '(

•..

Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan Considering this season's Metro swim team was short on numl:!~rs, graduated one of their two allArnericans and entered the season With a new coach, they could have been forgiven if they didn' t tum in an outstanding season and a stellar performance at the Inten:nountain Swim League Championships.

But the young Roadrunners did just that. Metro set records.In an amazing 15 events last ~eekend, eri"route to a second place finish on_the men's side and a third place. finish on the women's side in the five-team competition.

The performance surprised even coach Rob Nasser, who has guided Metro to a successful season in his first year at the helm.

"Actually, I was (surprised)," Nasser said. ''They just had a great meet. Everyone rested up well and were at the top of their performance at the meet."

"I think we had like 97 percent best times for the whole season. Only two swimmers did not have their season best, and most of the season bests were lifetime bests."

Leading the way were Darwin Strickland and Scott Watson, who each qualified for nationals. While Strickland, a senior, qualified in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle for the second straight year, it was Watson, a freshman, who came as more of a surprise.

Watson qualified in the 200-yard breast stroke and the 200-yard individual medley with times of 2:07.90 and 1:56.00 respectively. Watson also broke meet and school records in both events, shaving 1.62 seconds off the 200yard individual medley meet record and 1.06 off the 200yardr breast stroke meet record.

"I was somewhat surprised, but I worked hard all season," Watson said. "Going to the meet, I knew there were three events (I would compete in) and I qualified in two. I didn't expect to make it in."

Strickland, meanwhile, qualified in his two events for the second consecutive year, posting a meet and school record time of 20.79 in the 50-yard freestyle and meet record time of 45.68 in the 100-yard freestyle.

Last season, Strickland placed fourth nationally in the 100-yard freestyle (45.41) and sixth in the 50-yard freestyle (20.92), but expects to do even better this year.

"A lot of guys I'll swim against this year, I swam against last year," Strickland said. "With the training program this year by coach Nasser, it will defmitely give me a leg up to be more competitive.

"If I do any better than last year, it's all because Qf coach Nasser and his training philosophy and the team."

Overall, the men placed second in the competition with a team score of 476.50, behind champion Colorado School of Mines with 585. On the women's side, a lack of numbers prevented the Roadrunners from finishing higher than their 417-point third place finish. The University of Denver placed first with 477.50 points.

"I think we were maybe two or three people short of winning on the women's side this year," Nasser said.

"We just didn't have the bodies in a few events."

Under the scoring system, points are given to the top 12 finishes in each event, giving advantages to schools with larger numbers of competitors, penalizing Metro, which boasts a smaller roster of swimmers than most

''There's'only two of us that made it (to nationals), and there's 15 here today (at practice)," Strickland said, giving testimony to the team atmosphere.

Exemplifying the team's cohesiveness at the meet was the fact that the men broke records in four of the five relay events, setting school records in the 200-yard free teams in the league. relay, 400-yard free relay, 200-yard medley relay and While the women suffered only from a shortage of 400-yard medley relay. numbers, the men's performance is somewhat surprising, . . .

Metro will now compete at a last-chance meet today at Air Force, where the Roadrunners have two purposes: "It allows people who didn't swim some events at conference to swim at Air Force," Nasser.

Regis routs Metro, wins conferenee Roadrunners lose 19th game of the season, guaranteeing the worst record in Metro history Michael BeDan

Sports Edl1or The men's basketball team gave the season's largest home crowd (949) something to cheer about in_ the first half of Saturday night's game against 14thranked Regis. In the second half, Metro gav.e the Rangers the Colorado Athletic Corii-erence title.

Regis, 2·1-3 overall and 8-1 in the cAt:, WO)l ·the .conference title outright .with' iti.. 71-52 vktor.y over the ·Road1unners.· Metro fell to ·5~19 ov~rall and 3:5 in the CAC: .

The Roadrunners-'ft!ll'· b~hind 13-4 iQ the first six minutes.·of the game and appeared to be r~ady to- roll over arid play d.~~- B.ut Metro. went'cin l l-4 run and pulie·d to. wi.thih cwo at the 9:03 .mark·.

Regis then scored seven straigbt and led 24-15 with 4:39 remaining in the first half. The Roadrunners fought back and outscored Regis 14-10 to close out the half and trailed 34-29 at the break, a big improvement from the 44-23 drubbing Metro endured in the first half of the Jan. 28 contest at Regis Fieldhouse.

When Metro forward C.J. Arellano scored at 19:47 of the second half and the Roadrunners trailed by only three, things were looking sunny.

But clouds quickly gathered and Regis dumped a rainstorm of epic proportions onto the hapless Roadrunners.

Regis reeled off 12 straight points and led by as many as 21 in the second half. Metro coach Charles Bradley shook his head as he came out of the locker room after the defeat.

"It's amazing isn't it?" Bradley asked. "It is sad. We had them in foul trouble in the first half, we had them right where we w.anted them, but when you miss crucial layups and when you miss free-throws, you don't win basketball games."

Metro missed six layups in the game and hit 11 of 17 from the free-throw line, blowing 19 possible points.

But the most glaring statistic was field goal percentage in the second half.

Metro hit just 6 of 25 shots, translating to

an

a miserable .240 performance, while Regis shot .524 in the second half and .532 for the game. The Roadrunners finished at .340 for the game.

Metro got double figure scoring from just two players, Trent Brotherton had 18, hitting 5 of 9 to lead the Roadrunners, and Alltione Lewis scored 10 points on 4 of 8 shooting. The rest of the team shot a pathetic 7 for 30' for the game and Metro W?S out.scored 37 :to 23 in the second half.

Senior forward Marcus Weathersby .said the team relaxed in the second half.

"We played a decent first half," Weathersby said.. ''We dug ourselves into another hole We couldn't get out of in the ·second.''.

The Roadrunners must own the patent on second-half collapses as they · have le.ct at tlie 'break: 11 times this season, losing s:even:pf. those games. They have tecovere4 .from ~a. halftime deficit to win jus~. once in 12 tries, proving Bradley's theory that his team is capable of just one good half of basketball per game. Bradley said his team will fight to the end and that he would reserve final judgment until the season is over.

"It is up to the mentor to make sure they don 't lose the fire," Bradley said.

"We are fighting every second of the way, things just haven't gone our way." · Point guard Bobby Banks said Regis deserves a lot of credit for forcing Metro's poor performance.

"They wanted it a little more and played harder than we did," Banks said.

"They played like they are 14th in the nation."

Guard Antione Lewis said the Roadrunners play hard each week and do what the coach asks, but critical mistakes cost them in the end.

"We dig a grave for ourselves then spend the whole game trying to patch it up," Lewis said. "By the time we get it filled up, time is up."

Metro will play its last regular season game Saturday at the University of Southern Colorado. Game time is 8 p.m.

The CAC Tournament begins for the men on March 1.

The MetropolitarrJane Raley .

TO THE RACK: Metro forward Shalayo Williams goes up for a dunk against Regis University Saturday. The Roadrunners lost to the 14thranked Rangers for the second time this season. Saturday's loss dropped the Roadrunners to 5-19 on the season. Metro starts the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament on March 1. Metro's opponent In the first round will not be known until season's end.

For about the past five issues of The Met, I, being the powerful dumb sports guy that I am, have failed to follow the first rule of journalism - spell the names right, idiot. I have repeatedly, without cause or excuse, spelled supertalented women's basketball player Sarah Eckhoff's first name sans H. "Sara" appeared countless times and· I deeply apologize to Sarah, her family and friends and all .of QUr r~ders for. this stupid. mistake. Now let m.e practice. ·siirah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah Sarah.

Congrats The women's basketball team completed perhaps the most remarkable turnaround ·in·.Metro history this season.

After dropping 12 of its first 14 games, the women have gone on an 11-0 run and won the Colorado Athletic Conference title.

Great job ladies.

Congrats part deux The men's and women's swim teams finished second and third respectively in the Intermountain Swimming Championships last weekend. The men will send Darwin Strickland and Scott Williams to Nationals. · Strickland will be making his second straight appearance at "the show."

Great job swimmers.

Congrats part trois Women's basketball player Vanessa Edwards was named player of the week in the CAC for her stellar performance in last week's games. Edwards averaged 19 poihts and 11 rebounds as Metro beat Air

Force Academy and Regis. She hit on 17 of 27 shots, averaging 63 percent from the floor.

Wow! Strickland, of the men's swim team, and Xandi Ainlay of the women's team were named student athletes of the month pf January.

Strickland set school and meet records at the ISL Championships last weekend and Ainlay was undefeated in the 500-yard freestyle in dual competitions.

Double wow!!

Making history The women's and men's basketball teams are about to make Metro history in quite opposite fashion.

Players and coaches from the CAC Champion women~ basketball team speak their piece Senior forward Mary Henry on the title and the season: "It means a lot to win the title, but I really want to go undefeated. We had such a bad start, we thought we were really bad. Winning this makes us feel good."

Senior point-guard Sarah Eckhoff on the season to date and the remaining games: "lt has been a rollercoaster season, but we've peaked at the right time. We arc not counting on losing again."

Junior guard Tammi Baumgartner on the title and the CAC season: "It's a great feeling. It is hard to explain.

You've just gotta experience it yourself."

Junior center Vanessa Edwards on the turnaround: "Who likes to lose? Winning feels good and that is how I'm feeling."

knew everything wasn't accomplished. We want to go undefeated (in the CAC)."

Freshman guard MicheUe MarsbaU on her perspective before and after the preseason: "I kind of had my doubts at first because we were losing. I hate to admit that. But, we decided to put the preseason behind us and went out and kicked a little ass."

Freshman center Shiloh Justice on the season to date: "With only three returners from last year, it took a while to get it together, but losing builds character, and I learned a lot from that."

Freshman forward Shannon Wise on her experi· ences with basketball and soccer this year. The soccer team started out 9-0, finishing 11-7-2.

The basketbaU team started 2-12 and bas won 11 straight: "It much better winning. We' re sticking together as a team. It seems like soccer, but the reverse. We didn't want to finish 2-20."

Junior guard Amy Freeman on the season: "We couldn't figure out why we weren't win-

Head Coach-Darryl Smith on what It feels like to tum the season around: "It's like when a headache goes away. I'm excited for the kids. We told them whatever happens (this season), don't quit. They didn't."

Assistant Coach Natalie Dittmer on getting through the preseason: "I don't think anybody ever totally lost faith.

It was hard going through (the preseason). We feel like we've come a long way and accomplished a lot."

Assistant coach Ray Jay Johnson on the team's heart: "We've always felt from day one that we had a great team. The true test of a champion is how well you can endure."

Asmtant Coach Ed Reinhardt perhaps summed up the team's feeling best in three words after the game: "Exciting. Jubilant. Awesome."

or fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are taxdeferred a nnuities designed to help build additional assets-money that can help make th e difference betwee n living and living 11·~// after your working years are over.

Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pre-tax basis. T hat lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on taxes rig ht away. What's more, any earnings on your SRAs a re also tax-deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in ho"v painful your tax bill _is every year.

As the nation's largest retirement system, we offer a wide range of allocation c hoi ces-from TlAA's trad itio na l annuity, with its guarantees of princ ipal and interest, to t he seven diversified investment a ccounts of CREF's variable annuity.

What's more, our expenses are very low, 0 which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health .

To find out more, call our planning specialists at 1800842-2888. We'll send you a complete SRA information kit, plus a free slide-calculator that s hows you how much SRAs can lower your taxes.
