Men's soccer aims to make every game count 13

By Barbara Novick 1be Metropolitan

In the 1998-99 school year female students at Metro had higher grade-point averages than male students, according to a survey by the Office of Institutional Research. . The average GPA was higher for women than men in every age category. Women aged 56 or older make up 1 percent of Metro's total population but had the highest GPAs at 3.5 or higher. Women over age 35, who comprise 17 percent of Metro's population, had the next highest GPAs at 3.0 or higher. Men over age 35, who comprise 12 percent of male students at Metro, had higher GPAs compared with younger male students. "I am not surprised by these statistics. I know women do better than men," said Metro Director of Academic Advising Dr. Lisa Ransdale. "Women presently earn 74 cents for every dollar earned by a man, and although the gap i.5 narrowing by about 1/2 cent per year, it will take over 40 years to di.5appear," Ransdale said. Older women are eager to return to school, because

~ Emotions ,run high concerning bus pass fees By Tamra Monahan Tbe Metropolitan

Metro Students who regularly drive to campus are angry because they said they are charged twice since they pay both.high parking fees and an Regional Transportation District fee. Most students interviewed about the RTD fee said they thought it is a good idea, but those who never use the bus or light rail felt they were being cheated out of $16.70 because they would never use the pass. Metro student Paul Gordon, an English and education major, said he disagreed with paying for the RTD fee. Gordon said a majority of students drive to Metro, so the college should be concerned with the majority, not the minority who ride RTD. "We are paying for a small percentage to ride the bus, but who's paying for me to park?" Gordonasked. Driving to campus is more coRvenient for Metro student Kevin

Burger, a computer science major. Burger said he hates to pay the high cost of parking, but he does not see RTD as an alternative. He called the RTD fee a form of socialism, and said he resents he has to pay for something he never uses. "If you use it, you should pay for it, and if you don't, you shouldn't," he said. Metro student Nikki Sanchez, a sciNiWSanchez ence major, came up with a unique way to avoid both the high price of parking and the inconvenience of RTD. She uses inline skates to make her way to Metro from her home in Aurora. "$3.25 for parking is hard to swallow when you're a full time student and trying to eat," Sanchez said.

Recent construction on campus unearthed three leaking oil tanks under what used to be Lot G, and there are other Auraria sites with leaking storage tanks. Leaking underground storage tanks usually contain oil or radioactive materials. They leak into the ground and soil, which can eventually lead to contamination of drinking water or the air. Auraria officials removed the tanks and the contaminated soil from under the new performing arts center It used to be a filling station with old oil tanks still underground. Th.ere are 1,284 leaking undergmund storage tank sites in Denver, according to the Environmental Proternon Agency Four of these are on campus: one is under the new Performing Arts Building. The others are located under the Auraria Higher Education Center Well House, the Auraria Child Care Center and the Auraria Higher Education Center.

Metro student recounts • eye surgery experience By Kely McGinnis 1beMetropolitan

Optical laser surgery? It's an eye-opener. The proces.5 began for me in October with a compucerenhan~ed photo of my eyes and ended July 7 with 12 seconds of exposure to a VISX Star laser and about 15 minutes in the waiting room. The laser as.sisted intrastromal keratomileusis, or LASIK technique, is the ultramodern result of evolution in the field of vision correction. It combines the surgical skills of trained physicians with the precision of a half-a-million-<lollar laser to reduce dependence on glas.ses or contact lenses; in my case, entirely. In October my optometrist, Dr. Rebecca ]. Brock, 39, suggested that I wait a few months before we went ahead. As an ophthalmologist and doctor of internal medicine with the Cherry Creek Eye Center, she had to be certain that my eyes were stable and that I was familiar with the procedure. As a student at Metro, age 47 and majoring in English, wearing eyeglasses became increasingly uncomfortable and incon-

venient. Those difficulties and the option of a monovision, prompted me to have surgery. In many cases a myopic, near-sighted, client faces the choice of wearing glasses to drive, before surgery, or wearing glasses to read, afterwards. Myopia is a corneal irregularity that makes it hard co see at a distance. When monoviSion is viable it allows the surgeon to correct one eye for distance, leaving the other eye good for reading. The brain then takes over, allowing both eyes to work together with minimal confusion. The procedure often eliminates the need for glasses. My introduction to this operation came through a friend at Clear Vision Laser Centers, a privately owned company at 215 Union Blvd., I was fortunate to participate in such a 'cutting edge' proces.5 as a gift from my family at the cost of $2,300 per eye.

Benefit for Metro shooting victim to be held Aug. 15 in Northglenn Friends of a Metro shooting victim are organizing a fundrais· ing benefit to aid with medical bills.The student, Robert Adams, was shot while waiting co enter a parry last Oct. 23. Adams and other people were outside a house at 9850 Wolff Court in Westminster when shots were fired from a car leaving the party. One of the shots hit Adams in the back of the head, Westminster Police said. Adams, a sophomore at Metro, was studying secondary edu· cation, according to the committee organizing a benefit for him. Friends said he wanted to become a high school English teacher. Seven months have passed since the shooting and Adams is alive. He has returned home from the hospital and friends said he is improving. He is, however, totally dependent. He is unable co move hi.5 limbs purposefully or communicate his needs in any way, according to a friend, Karen Parks. "He had such a wonderful way with kids and he was such creative guy," said Paula Brown, a friend of Adams who has known him since he was 3-years-old. "We're hoping he recovers." After the conviction of Timothy Nitz, in connection with Adams injury, on May 21, friends of his family organized a benefit to help offset the large cost of Adams' medical bills. The benefit is planned for Aug. 15, from 2 until 7 p.m. ac the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Northglenn, at 11385 Grant Drive. Tickets to the benefit are being sold for $10 and can be obtained by calling Karen Parks at (303)-457-0752. The committee organizing the benefit needs donations of food to be served, paper products with which to serve it and goods and services donated for a silent auaion to be held at the benefit. The committee also said they are in need of cash donations made payable to: The Trustee for the Robert A. Adams Disability Trust

Several students locking up their bicycles at the racks on the east side of the Tivoli and the racks near Speer Blvd returned from class to find their locks cut and their bicycles gone. Aside from the locations, another common factor in the crimes was the use of cible-rype l<;><:ks by the students. The locks are easy to cut with bolt cutters, which can be concealed in a back pack, according to Auraria Police. Most of the bicycles stolen were not extremely fancy or expensive bikes, rather they were more of the commuter type bicycle, worth between $50 and $450. Police amibute this mainly to the type of lock used. Joe Ortiz, director of campus security, suggested the use of a Kryptonite like U-lock, which potential thieves avoid because they are difficult to break. ''.-\lthough the price of a U-lock is more expensive," Ortiz said, "it is the best way of protecting your initial investment, even if the bike is not the most expensive thing on the market." Ortiz said the occurrences of bicycle thefts increase with the summer months because more people ride their bikes and more juveniles are out of school.

$5,000 brings life back into weak eyes for one Metro student â&#x20AC;˘ Laser, from p. 5 Vision Centers and a graduate student at the University of Colorado at Denver. It is her job to derermine if an individual is a good candidate for further evaluation: "Not everyone may be physically or psychologically suited for the procedure," she explained. Not everyone is a suitable candidate fmancially, either. Because this procedure is considered elective, most health insurance companies decline coverage. It is, however, a tax-deductible medical expense and financing is available. LASIK is used to correct visual problems directly related to corneal irregularities, Rubenstein added. "Eye injuries, muscular problems or difficulties with other eye structures, such as the retina, cannot be helped with this system," she said. The cornea could be compared to a camera lens, and the retina is like the film that an image is focused on. "Some people may also be unrealistic, expecting perfect vision, but the best predictor of results is how well a person sees with their current eyeglasses or contacts. Chances are, LASIK will at least match that level of correction," she said. On my first visit to the eye center last year, an optical assistant printed a corneal topography, or computer-generated map of my cornea, and the doctor gave me a thorough eye examination.

Brock has performed over 500 surgical procedures with this latest technology, and she said the succes.s rate is phenomenal. "Of refractive surgery clients, according to FDA statistics," she said, "Eighty percent are corrected to 20-20 vision, and 98 percent achieve legal driving vision at 20-40." The worst surgery that happened, she said, was when the thin layer that covers the cornea came completely detached once, instead of hinging. "But it was reattached and the patient's vision was improved to 2020," she said. I was nervous on the day of the operation, performed at Rose Medical Center, but I relaxed with the prescribed Valium. "Look at the red light," The doctor said. "Don't drift." The red dot was tiny. I could hear an intermittent clicking sound; the laser. It vaguely dawned on me that with my eye wide open a thin flap had been made of my corneal tissue and folded back. This was done with an instrument called a microkeratome, which gave the laser direct access to the corneal tissue. Within minutes, and after a few kind reminders to ".. .focus on the red light," Brock said, ''That's it. Looks great." ''That's it?" I echoed. I hadn't felt a thing. Was it the local anesthesia, the Valium, the precision? My chief sense was of reliefcompounded with unbridled astonishment. That's it, I could see, and it didn't hurt. Aweek later, the eye is fme. Despite a mild disorientation when reading, the improved vision is pleasant, and I can wear shades.

r-11• ... 1 .e~ l ~LQ).·~ CL~ By Amber Joluason 71Je Metropolitan With the end of summer approaching at the speed of light, it will soon be time to start thinking about getting prepared for the fall semester. Unfortunately, since most of us are members of the real world now, getting ready for the new school year no longer means going shopping for the latest back to school fashions with mom, or searching for that perfect Trapper Keeper and pee-chee. What back to school means for us is that we are going to have to reflect on all of the money we spent on summer fun activities (like the concerts, and oh, rent, and various other sundries) and start thinking about paying tuition and buying lx!<>ks. The more you think, the more you stress out about how you might possibly afford to spend $8 gajillion on textbooks that you can sell back for approximately 1 percent of what you bought them for (good thing I'm not bitter), and suddenly, selling some of your vital organs on the black market is looking like a pretty viable option. Then there are those of us who hate going to the bookstore period. You spend the day wandering around, looking for the right book for the right class, and when you finally find it, there are no more used copies, or worse, no copies at all. When your trek comes to an end at the cashier stations, you face a check-out line that.. well, we've all been there. Options, options are what you need. So in keeping with the increasingly popular online shopping trend, it is now possible to buy textbooks without ever leaving the house. Follow me through a not-so-tangled web of textbook sites that will make your shopping experience much more pleasant, as well as save you some much needed cash. I visited nine textbook sites with some very simple criteria: The object is to find the book or books chosen at the lowest price in the easiest possible way. So I chose a fairly simple introductory psychology book Psyclwlngy: An Introduction, by Morris, and started surfing my way through each site.

STUDENTMARKET.COM: Not only does this site offer textbooks, it also offers computers, rugs, picture frames, clothes, student loans and student credit. It might be a site to check out just for the fun of it. As far as textbooks , the search method of this site is rather tedious. The name Morris netted 4,213 results, and no way of narrowing my search. Thanks but no thanks - I have better things to do than go through that many titles. Don't discount this site altogether - it looks like a lot of fun to browse through, but my advice would be to make your search as specific as possible.

VARSITYBOOKS.COM: This site went live in August of 1998, and though it is fairly new, it seems to have everything under control and then some. Varsitybooks.com offers new books only at 15 percent to 40 percent less than bookstore prices, and the shipping cost is a flat rate of $4.95, no matter the size of the order. Each order is supposed to arrive in one to three business days from the date of order, and they send e-mail updates when they ship out the books. Using a general search under the author's name, I was shown 200 titles by someone named Morris. The book I sought was on the list, and the price was $66.00. From there, you may place your selected book in your virtual shopping cart, and find more books or go to checkout Enter in your shipping infonnation and credit card number, and in one to three days you are

BOOKSWAP.COM: This site proclaims 17,570 books to choose from, so chances are good that the book you want will be there. Out of all of the sites I checked where they ask for the name of the college attended, this was the only one with Metro in its database. True to its name, bookswap.com offers used books and even textbook rentals. The search was quick. and the book I wanted was priced at $43.35 or best offer. There is no description of the condition of the book. but that's a risk you take using this method. Shipping is a flat $5, but there is no information on how long the order takes to arrive.

under ''Morris," it listed the titles alphabetically, but wouldn't let me access titles past the letter E.

CLASSBOOK.COM: This site offers new and used titles, as well as buyback. Its inventory of books is not as big as the other sites, because my search under ''Morris" only turneCt up 13 titles, none of which was the one that I wanted.

TEXTBOOKS.COM: This site offers both new and used books, and even a section for hardto-find books. 1be search here is so quick and easy - you can input the author's name, title of the book, title keyword or general keyword, thereby making the search much narrower. I entered the author's name and the title keyword "psychology." The search showed copies of the book available in both new and used versions - new copies are $65.70, and used copies are $54.75. Travel to another secure site to enter in your vital information, and you're done. Shipping costs vary from $4.50 to $27, depending on how super speedily you would like them to arrive. . The remaining five websites I checked were not as impressive, but again, it depends on how specific you make your search.

JBPUB.COM: This site. offers a limited selection, simply because it only offers books published by Jones and Bartlett. In addition, only nine discipline choices are offered, narrowing the selection even further.

HBCOLLEGE.COM: This is another site that only represents books by a specific publisher. In this case, Harcourt Brace is the company, and it also links you

Y2K preparedness; build a bomb shelter in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, just in case I'm loosing sleep here. We now have about five months before the dreaded year 2000 bug strikes, destroying computer systems everywhere, making politicians believe posting the Ten Commandments .in schools will cure the world, inciting Rover to relieve himself on the kitchen floor and forcing PMS on some people. According to a recent survey, one third of Americans are stocking up on food and other necessities in preparation for this computer related apocalypse. Sean Weaver What do. these people know that the rest of us don't? After all, we Americans are an astute group of folks . who eat at McDonald's, run ourselves into debt and drive miles to see the world's only two-headed hamster somewhere in the Midwest. The danger is real, people. just the other day, my computer, instead of starting up with the "happy Mac" screen, gave me the bird. Deep down I know the microwave and toaster will soon follow suit. When that happens, bachelor life as we know it will be over. The streets will be overflowing with hungry men incapable of cooking on a stove. Along with several other forward thinking Americans, I too have been preparing.

My bomb shelter, outside of the obvious difficulty of installing it in a one-bedroom apartment, is coming along nicely. I have been stocking up with plenty of Captain Crunch Peanut Butter cereal, and plan to remove the $2.36 from my checking account Dec. 27. I will be the first to buy a hand-cra11k radio when it comes out with a CD player. Despite all the preparation, I still wish someone would come out to prevent this ·problem. Sure, there have been scores of computer programmers spending countles.s hours meticulously examining code, but what the world really needs is for a bunch of musicians to band together and put out a Y2K relief album. We haven't heard Michael Jackson sing with Bob Dylan for a while. There are, however, some things I am looking foiward to when the clock hits 12. The OJ. Simpson trial, the fourth trial of the century in three years, and Monica Lewinski's dress were just warm ups for round-the-clock media coverage. Imagine what Fox-1V can do with the apocalypse. Perhaps a made-for-television movie starring Pee Wee Herman as Bill Gates is in the works as well. A power outage knocking out all television programming and preventing this ghastly scenario would be the best thing to hit the country since the Salad Shooter. I am also hoping whoever manufactured my alarm clock was Y2K negligent. That way I could fmally get some rest. Sean Weaver is a reporter at The Metropolitan, e-mail him at weavers@mscd.edu.

Auraria campus police don't' lead by example The other day I confronted a campus bicycle cop who was riding in a dismount zone. When I asked him why he hadn't dismounted he told me, 'This is how I enforce the law." So if I understand correctly, campus cops "enforce the law" by breaking it. I suggest that we all start "enforcing the law" on campus. All bicycle riders should follow this officer's example. "Enforcing the law" must also include trespas.si n g -- the

campus cop I saw taking a shortcut under the Colfax overpass, where I was once warned not to go by another campus cop because it's private property - and illegal parking (the campus cop who parked his personal van in a 2-hour zone all day and did not receive a ticket-I checked). A question for Joe Ortiz: why do we have two sets of rules on this campus?

Survey compiles complaints against Kaplan, provost • NEWS: Faculty Senate survey restates last year's dissatisfaction with president Sheila Kaplan.

• VIEWS: The president's office needs to delegate a faculty advocate and work out ~e problems.

For the second year, Metro President Sheila Kaplan failed to gain strong approval from Metro faculty, according to a survey of faculty senate members. The survey, conducted by the Office of Institutional Research, released April 28, recorded results of faculty senate members' attitudes regarding Kaplan and Provost Cheryl Norton. "Norton's results improved slightly this year," faculty senate president Monys Hagen said. Twenty six percent of 103 surveyed senate members strongly approved of Norton's overall performance, while 9.7 percent approved ~f Kaplan's. Survey comments were confidential. Comments about Norton varied. Survey comments included the following: ·~pointing Doctor Norton Provost is the best thing to happen to The Met in a long time - she's a ·~o· in my book!" "She is the top vice president I have seen here in 32 years." Negative comments about Norton included, "Doctor Norton is a micro manager," and, "The

Provost's position should not be one of on-the-job training of an inexperienced and incapable individual." Positive comments about Kaplan included, "Doctor Kaplan is much improved over prior years, but she still does not reward excellence," and, "Much improved." Negative comments outnumbered positive ones-18 of the 21 written comments from the survey about Kaplan were negative. Last year the faculty . senate conducted its own survey about Kaplan and the results were not positive. The president's office insisted another survey be conducted. The new survey results were worse than those of the first survey. Kaplan's performance with faculty members has been less than positive, with a no confidence vote and two years of faculty angst on record the president's office needs to delegate a mediator between faculty and administration. Kaplan's strengths lie in cutting the budget, not creating a positive work environment for the faculty. If her office cannot create a solution to the faculty unrest, there needs to be an appointed gobetween to settle problems faculty have voiced for years. Kaplan's office would benefit greatly by listening to the faculty's needs. The hostility continues to grow and until the administration attends to the needs of faculty unrest will continue between the two entities.

stract Former Metro student's journey culminates in arts fest's top award .. By Sean Weaver Contradictions inspire him. life fascinates him. Simplicity moves him. When Denver artist Michael Gadlin approaches a canvas, the sum of his life rests on his brush. "My painting is simply an illustration of the simplicity of experience," Gadlin said. "I want viewers to feel a relationship with my work where they are asking questions about their own life or about me. It just breaks down to evoking an emotional response." Gadlin, a 27-year-old fonner Metro student, won best of show at this year's Cherry Creek Arts Festival. He is the first Denver artist to win the award since 1991, the year he entered Metro as a freshman. Gadlin left Metro for New York City, where he studied art and design at ffi.e Pratt Institute. "I went to Metro because it was convenient, cheap and accessible," Gadlin said. "I went to Pratt because it was inconvenient, expensive and had a name for itself in the art world." During his sophomore year at Pratt, Gadlin's life dramatically changed. Gadlin moved back to Denver when he learned his mother had been diagnosed 'With lung cancer. "My priority became my mother and not my next semester at school," he said. "When I came home to stay for a while, I was kind of expecting to go back (to Pratt), but it turned out my mom got sicker and I stayed co take care of her." While staying with his mother, Gadlin filled pages of his

For Gadlin, the drawing; in his sketchbooks not only are figurative studies for his abstract wo~, but serve to document his life and his relationship with his friends and family. "During that time a local artist, Darrell Anderson, took me in just to keep my mind fresh and to teach me about being a professional artist," Gadlin continued. "I felt like I was still challenged

here. That was something an artist who wants to succeed ha.s to find. If you come back and you find everything you left is still the same, you fall into a comfort woe." Gadlin's mother died in 1994. "That's when I became a man," Gadlin said. "I really felt then I was ready to take on the world. I expected my mother to be around for a long time - co see my marriage, my kids and my successes. "I used that as a positive drive as a discipline in my art," he said. "You have to chase a dream. I wanted to act, being that life was so fragile around me at the time. I said, Tm going to jump out there with all I've got and see if I float or sink.' I've been able to tread water ever since. Treading water for Gadlin began when he shared a studio with Darrell Anderson and fellow student Jay Apodaca. "We had our first group show together in a little storefront beneath our studio," Gadlin said. "It was a lot ofhard work putting it together. We had to clean the storefront, install lights and paint the walls. That experience gave me a feeling of the success I could have making something work. I felt at home." Two years later, in 1996, Gadlin began working for another established artist in Denver; Roland Bernier. "He's a talented young painter with marvelous

technique and wonderful imagery," Bernier said. I'm looking forward to seeing his work progress. The next few years will be crucial to his work to see how he inteiprets life around whim and what new thing; he can bring to the art world." Gadlin credits Bernier for teaching him how to use imagery in his work. ''There is so much in and around his work that really taught me to go beyond the surface. I would paint imagery before I knew Roland because it was neat, and I didn't know much about working in a series or with a theme. Roland would work an idea and cover every angle. He would push an idea until it couldn't be pushed anymore. After that I started working thematically and in series of works. That became an important part in having meaning in my work." Applying themes to a several painting; paid off for Gadlin with what every young artist craves, a solo exhibition. West Gallery in Denver showcased Gadlin's group ofwork The Disciples, a collection of 12 black and white latex and charcoal painting; on board, blending spirituality with sub~e phallic shapes hinting at human sexuality. "When he came to me asking for a black and white show, it was kind of shocking," said West Gallery owner Frank Lavin. "After a couple months of seeing his progress, I liked the whole sense of the spiritualism he was creating. It wasn't all-just male disciples, but female as well and different races, not the traditional biblical interpretations. Out of no color, he created a lot of color using shape shadow texture and the variety of grays."

Portrait of a Disciple #5

Gadlin said he was trying to avoid typical religious symbolism in the body of work "My painting; are plainly about discovery," Gadlin said. "If I'm on a spiritual journey, for instance, and I'm discovering thing;, I document it on the canvas. I can't feel I am doing my work unles.5 I feel like I'm evoking a emotional experience be it spiritual or sexual." The true measure of success Gadlin seeks in hi;s work, is to make his wife Rebecca and his twoyear-old daughter Myah proud. "We continue to inspire and teach each other," he said.
