Certain student fees to increase By Daniela Stolfi The Metropolitall

Student fees for information technology might increase SO percent, and the Health Services Fee could more than double if the Board of Trustees of State Colleges of Colorado approves the increase. If approved, the new fees will go into effect starting with the fall 2000 semester. Hector Munoz, student government vice president of student fees said he is feeling bullied into recommending the new increases. "I have been given an ultimatum. I am told if the fees do not increase, the health center will close, and we won't have enough computers. I don't want these things to happen, but I don't feel Kem McWhiter/lbe Metropolitan comfortable in representing the students, if I can't explain the increase myself.

Campus police arrested a Metro student for driving under the influence as he attempted to drive away from the roundabout in front of the Tivoli on Feb. 22. Police reports show the student left the Tivoli at 2 a.m. where he said he had been drinking with friends in the bar. The student left the Tivoli parking lot and began 路driving through the roundabout on Ninth Street. A campus policeman noticed the student driving irregularly and pulled him over. The officer determined the student was beyond the legal limit of intoxication and arrested him for driving under the influence. He was then turned over to Denver police and jailed. The same day, campus police arrested a man and charged him with shoplifting from the Tivoli bookstore. Police reports show the man was in the store at 4 p.m. when employees suspected him of shoplifting. They notified police who picked him up outside of the store as he was leaving. The man liad several items from the store on his person so police issued him a summons to appear in court for shoplifting.

There have been no allegations brought against Smith from North High School or CCD students, Moore added. Denver Public.Schools hired an investigator to check Smith's background for complaints against him. Records of Smith's background show that he rented an apartment in the mid to late 1970s where his Morey Junior High School

students would go to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol with him. Smith was transferred to another school, but no action was taken against him. Smith was a teacher with Denver Public Schools for 28 years. He taught at CCD for about 10 years off and on, McClenney said. Smith has been charged with harboring an illegal alien and smuggling a youth from Mexico to Denver for the purposes of sex. Smith is expected to make his SlS0,000 bond and be released this week. Moore had told The Denver Post and Denver Rocky Mountain News reporters he hoped his client would be released soon so he could return to teaching at CCD.

School reform more than testing •TORRES from p.10 DPS board voted to fund the project . "The board voted 7-0 to fund it fully after the COE money had run out," Torres said. After receiving and reviewing the units written by the teachers, Torres and his colleagues added the new currjculum to DPS classrooms in fall 1999. "'- So far, there are 38 units of study, with more to come. "This year, the plan is to add at least 20 to 25 more units, and then next year the same number," Torres said. "Most importantly, we'll be expanding to include African-American, Native-American and Asian-American curriculum." Each unit has specific goals concerning what the students should learn during the time the unit is taught. Each unit is designed according to the standards outlined in the Colorado School law book. -;-

Torres balked at the suggestion some have made that studying Chicano history would distract students from the so-called basics of history. He said his plan doesn't conflict with the one pushed by Colorado Gov. Bill Owens' to increase assessment testing. "Giving schools a report card is not reform, it's giving schools a report card," he said. "Giving kids assessment tests is not reform, it's just more testing. The reform has to be in the curriculum itself. Every one of these units, even if they are history based, has a strong literacy component. That's so important." So what makes Torres, a professor and department chair, spend so much of his time working for free on a project that isn't a part of his school? "The status of our children is by far the major issue, period. Nothing else is nearly as important as the success of our kids."

Allen ended her collegiate career with four school records: scoring, three-pointers, three-point percentage and assists.

The coach received two quick technical fouls with 25 seconds left in the contest and was ejected. The game for Metro was a tale of two halves. At the end of the first half, the Roadrunners found themselves trailing by four (41-37), shooting42.9 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc. In basketball, unfortunately for the Roadrunners, they play two halves. The Roadrunners could not get anything going right in the second period.

"She creates theater at its best: alive with dramatic tension and comic relief; pulsating with movement and meaning." . "As an actress, Miss Burrows has the priceless gift of honesty. With nothing but a few lights and bare stage, she sings and acts without any shadow of deceptions or veils of deceit...She is a magnificent performer!" "An actress of range and

commanding passion" - New York Times

"When the lights fade out on Vinie Burrows .. .it is hard to believe that all the voices and visions that have filled the theater have come from just one woman."
