Control of the campus' Emmanuel Gallery has been transferred frt>m the Auraria Higher Education Center to Metro and the University of Colorado at Denver.

Auraria has operated the gallery since it opened in the 1970s, but budget constraints due in part to the new King Center and rising utility costs has made funding the gallery difficult, according to Auraria officials. " It took $40,000 plus oui of our budget," said Dean Wolf, Auraria's executive vice president of administration.

"The thing many people don't understand is we are funded by all three of the institutions. The decision by the three institutions was not to fund us for the gallery this year." Wolf said while the two schools will oversee gallery operations, AHEC will continue to maintain the building.

"The only real difference is the reporting structure," said Mark Heckler, dean of Arts and Media for CU-Denver. "This puts the gallery more squarely in an academic setting instead of just a building."

Ken Peterson, who was hired by CU-Denver as interim director for Emmanuel Gallery, said he feels optimistic about the changes.

"Since its being run through the fine arts departments of both schools, there will be a better understanding of what the gallery can do for the campus," Peterson said. "The art departments have always wanted to do this together. AHEC was great. They had it all set up~ but fine art wasn't their priority." Peterson, who served interim director last year, has been hired on a I-year contract. instead of the 6-month contract used for the previous directors.

Peterson said he hopes to make the gallery more of a resource for students and instructors.

"Fortunately, I'm used to running things on a shoestring," he said. "This is a pretty big shoestring comparatively."

The gallery first began facing financial troubles last year when, on July I, Auraria officials cut the gallery director's salary out of its budget, and closed the space. Metro's Art Guild circulated a petition, gathering 2, 109 signatures in support of the gallery, and presented it to Auraria officials Oct.

7.

"The signatures were very encouraging," said Art Guild member Arlene Bergslien after presenting the petition. "They showed that there were a lot of students not only who

gallery ClOSl ng'

·Mark Masuoka, former d:recmr E.rnmanue~ Gallery

supported the gallery, but even a few who were interested in working there once it reopened."

Deans from the three campus schools met with students and Auraria officials Oct. 11 to prepare a proposal for generating $20,000 to reopen the gallery for the spring semester.

Representatives at the meeting determined the $20,000 would come from the three schools and Auraria, and will cover the operating costs of the gallery and the director's salary. The gallery had previously been operating on a budget of $37,499 for the 1999-2000 fiscal year.

The gallery reopened March I with a new interim director Kathryn Charles. Charles learned her contract hadn't bee~ renewed, and was replaced July 31 with Peterson.

"AHEC was going to mothball it," Heckler said. "I made the commitment early on that that was not going to happen.

It's been a long 18 months. We're in a better position now because we have a firm commitment to funding the gallery. I think we all came to realize the model of reporting to AHEC was not right for the gallery. I think we've got where we need to get to."

Heckler said Metro and CU-Denver will share the funding for the gallery, but tcD was unable to currently help support it. The two schools will lease the space to CCD for its student shows.

"I don't think any of us want to deprive CCD students the chance to display their work," he said.

Former gallery director Mark Masuoka, who ran the Emmanuel Gallery from January 1999 to January 2000, said he feels the gallery is an important asset to the college and community, and hopes the new arrangement will work.

"Where are all the student shows going to go?" he asked. "I can understand why (the changes have been made)," he said. "(AHEC) had run ins with the departments repeatedly, but they weren't that big. They just couldn't come to an agreement on how it should be run. I hope they can make it work, because the alternative is something no one wants to see, and that's the gallery closing. I want to see it succeed."

Metro graduate starts scholarship fund Kelly Valentine

The Metropolitan

A fonner Metro student is starting a scholarship fund that will award one student $250 beginning this semester.

Unlike many other scholarship funds that can ask for different standards and criteria, Patrick Franklin, who created the award, said his scholarship has only one requirement.

"The only criteria that needs to be met is that you need to be a student and enrolled at the Metropolitan State College," he said.

"You can either be a full or part time student," . he said.

In order to receive the scholarship, any students who are interested are asked to submit a 250-500 word essay on any topic by the end of September. The winner will be picked shortly after and Franklin will award the recipient the $250. The scholarship will be continuous for the next few years.

Franklin said his inspiration to begin a scholarship fund occurred ·after his good friend, Todd Norris, was killed by a drunk driver last March.

"Both Todd and I came out to Colorado to study at different colleges," Franklin said.

"We were both on financial aid, average students and had to work to make ends meet," he said.

Franklin said after Norris's death, he wanted to do something in memory ofTodd's fun loving and easy-going personality.

"We loved to have fun but it was hard without the extra money," Franklin said. "So, I thought that a scholarship fund in his name for students was the answer to remember Todd. The winner can go out and have a great time and do whatever with the money," Franklin said.

Students interested in applying need to submit a written piece of his or her own work. The applicant must also send their name and phone number to the following email address WWW.Norris/scholarship.

Metro seeks neVI depart111ent chair for African American Studies Sean Weaver

The Metropolitan A search committee has been fonned to find a new chair for the African American Studies Department.

Metro officials announced the position opening July 26. " I've served as chair for six years, and at this point it's my desire to step aside and gear full time to my teaching, research and a continuation of my community involvement and activities," said CJ White, the current department chair.

White said after African American Studies professor Jeffery Scott retired, it created a full-time tenure position within the department.

Stale funded professioal development fund disappears Sean Weaver

The Metropolitan Metro employees will no longer be able to take a tuition credit with the President's Professional Development Fund.

The fund, which allowed Metro employees to receive tuition credit for three to four credit hours, originated from money from the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado.

"They were made aware that this was a one-time shot," said Joanna Duenas from the Campus Communications Office. "It's not an infinite source of money."

The trustees distributed funds to its four colleges, Metro, Mesa State, Adams State and Western State.

"All of our money comes from the state

system," said Cheryl Norton, vice president of academic affairs. "The state system decided to allocate more money to faculty salaries." Norton said the Colorado General Assembly voted to increase faculty salaries by 1.8 percent, but the State Colleges In Colorado decided to increase salaries by 4 percent. "The funds that were diverted to cover increase, only covered one year," Norton said. "The ongoing increase had to be covered by the institutions all subsequent years.

The bottom line is there is no money being given to us for the professional development fund, which has typically been about a half million dollars per year."

Norton said she does not believe the fund will be reinstated.

"I don 't see it for two reasons," she said. "There's discussion under way for

separation (from the State Colleges in Colorado). The funds would have to be built up over a period of time. It's nothing that will occur in-the relatively near future."

Joanna Duenas from the Campus Communications Office said the money given to the college was a one-time allowance. _ "The decision that it would go into the pockets of the staff to be able to fund their education was a key decision," Duenas said. ""They were made aware that this was a one-time shot. It's not an infinite source of money."

Metro's Vice President of Student Services, Kate Lutrey, said she found the fund to be beneficial.

"I think it's a wonderful opportunity and I hope that it can be continued at some level," she said.

(U-WIRE) STILLWATER, Okla. - Buying blow-up chairs and searching for scholarships now go hand in hand after two Web sites announced a partnership.

StudentMarket, which offers college students various services such as college textbooks and dorm room furniture, has now united with Wiredscholar.com to provide students a convenient way to access scholarships through its Web site.

"Students are now able to freely search the largest database of scholarships available," said StudentMarket spokesman Oren Milgram. Wiredscholar.com offers a wide variety of scholarships that promise to meet almost any student's requirements.

"Some of the scholarships offered include state and local government, businesses, religious organizations, ethnic organizations, labor unions and many others which offer to fund a student in a specific field," Milgram said.

The joint venture between the two Web-based companies, whose main audience is college-bound students, is a natural fit.

"Now not only can we offer things like d0rm room furnishings, but we can also offer a way to pay for the expenses that attending college entails," Milgram said.

The Web site allows students to access tools that can aid in the preparation, evaluation, selection, application and financing of college.

"Our scholarships are up-to-date and accurate," said Wiredscholar spokeswoman Erin Love.

Wiredscholar was eager to form a junction with StudentMarket because it could reach and assist a wider variety of users.

"StudentMarket offered products to an audience that our Web site was trying to reach," Love said.

Although the success rate for students who find scholarships through this online partnership is unknown, students have 600,000 scholarships totaling more than $1 billion to search for.

"I searched and applied for scholarships online," said

Ashley Snyder, animal science freshman. "I was unsuccessful, but the databas~ that I used was easy and extremely helpful."

A student searching for a specific scholarship through Oklahoma State University could use a large scholarship Web site or access the OSU Web site, which is soon to come out with a list of every university scholarship offered.

"Although this list has not been printed yet, we hope to have it out within the next month," said Kevin Gerson of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. "The list is not actually searchable, but students will be able to download and fill out scholarships with ease," he added.

Snyder said she wished she had used the university scholarship list.

"I probably would have had more success in finding a scholarship that fit me," she said.

Upcoming satellite radio adds choices for entertainment Mindy Macinnes f

The Metropolitan Satellite radio is the latest technology adding to the choices of entertainment mediums. Available for your home and car, anywhere in the United States, satellite radio will be available on a subscription basis. Soon the service will be available to the public. Currently, the Federal Communications Commission has approved only two companies to provide the service, XM Radio and Sirrus.

XM Radio has currently launched an advertising campaign with commercials on local television. The service is not available yet and a national broadcast launch date has not been set.

Broadcasting from the heart of Washington DC, XM Radio broadcasts approximately 170 channels to their

bi-coastal satellites in full digital sound. The satellites named Rock and Roll are fixed in orbit to ensure a constant signal through out the United States.

Occasional live broadcasts of bands in XM Radio's studios in Washington D.C. Nashville's Country Music Hall and Fame, and in New York will feature the latest bands in a more personal setting. XM Radio-ready receivers will be placed in new Honda's, General Motors, Suzuki, and Isuzu's in the near future.

Sirrus is also available any where in the United States. Sirrus is not available for national broadcast and has not set a firm date for consumer use.

Sirrus broadcasts from Manhattan and has the capability of broadcasting 100 channels in fu II digital quality, 50 will be completely commercial-free. Three fixed orbit satellites will send out signal seamlessly across the United States. Daimler Chrysler, BMW,

Volvo, Ford, and Mazda are expected to install Sirrus Standard in the future models.

Both of these companies use systems that demand a line-of-sight to the satellite in orbit. In the urban areas with tall buildings blocking signal, repeaters placed on the buildings with amplify the signal to reach your car or house in these areas.

Many people believe this new technology will give conventional radio the first true competition in years.

Considering the amount of commercial on conventional radio, which averages 20 minutes to 3-5 minutes on XM Radio and some commercial free stations on Sirrus, the new option maybe more appealing for the consumer. Others believe that conventional radio will win out for reasons like local news, traffic reports, local Disc Jockeys, and it is free to the consumer.

Former lab workers encourage scientists to halt nuclear research Erin Mclaughlin

Daily Californian (California-Berkley)

•

(U-WIRE) BERKELEY, Calif. Fonner engineers from Lawrence Livennore National Laboratory unveiled a new billboard Monday hoping to deter lab scientists from working to develop nuclear weapons.

The new billboard challenges scientists to stop working for the National Ignition Facility, a University of California-managed project to develop a giant, multibillion dollar laser that is meant to contribute to the nation's nuclear testing program.

"The goal (of the bi II board) is to stimulate discussion among lab employees about NIF and to spark the conscience of scientists and engineers and to call on them to renounce work on nuclear weapons of mass destruction," said Marylia Kelley, executive director of Tri-Valley CARES, an independent watchdog over the lab.

The billboard is also part of former lab employees' campaign to discourage scientists from working at the lab. The ex-lab scientists allege the lab did not inform them that their work was used to develop nuclear technology.

"A major part of the labs goes to nuclear weapons development work," said Inga Olson, Tri-Valley Cares' Nuclear Weapons and Waste Program Associate. "The NIF is going to make possible more weapons of

mass destruction." the labs from developing new nuclear and without nuclear design."

She added that the lab is not designing Isaac Trotts, a former laboratory weapons.

Metro's Speech Communications Department and Journalism Department have been combined into one academic program.

The college combined the two departments Aug. 13 into the new Communications Arts and Sciences.

"Things should be better organized and run more smoothly," said Kenn Bisio, chair of the new department. "It ensures the department will be around for a long time."

Bisio, who until Aug. 13 served as chair for the journalism classes, said students in both academic departments will not notice a change.

"The great thing is speech had radio and TV, and that seemed to be an anomaly," he said. "Now we're all under one roof."

Joan Foster, dean of Arts, Letters and Sciences, said the new program will draw on strengths from both areas.

"It give faculty a chance to develop a curriculum and give students abilities for the future," she said.

Federal legislation might ease financial aid drug policy Sarah Blount

The Vista (U-WIRE) EDMOND, Okla. - A revision of the Higher Education Act (HEA) in 1998, which denies federal aid to students who have been convicted in a state or federal court of possessing or selling drugs, has led to a nationwide campaign to repeal the provision.

The HEA Drug Provision was introduced by Representative Mark Souder (R-Ind.) in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and became public law on Oct. 7, 1998. The

The Auraria Campus Police and Security is busy keeping the campus safe.

Police Chief Joe Ortiz said his staff is always available for help. "We are very community oriented and take the learning environment into account. Our presence on campus is never oppressive, but we are not so lax that we are invisible," Ortiz said. "One thing I mandate is that the peace officers are always visible on campus," he said. The Auraria Campus Police have a twenty-four hour dispatch and emergency phones located at several locations Ofl campus.

However, patrolling the campus is not the sole duty of these peace officers.

"We provide parking services for several special events for the community surrounding the campus," Ortiz said. "The changing trends during the last years have kept us busy. We may provide parking services at the Pepsi Center, at Six Flags, Coors Field and other special events," he said. · Ortiz also said though they are an individual police department, they do work with the Denver Police Department as well.

"If . we arrest someone on campus with outstanding warrants, we hold them in custody until Denver PD picks them up," Ortiz said.

In past years, the Auraria Police and Security Department has also participated in the KYGO radio station Christmas program providing toys for underprivileged children.

"The officers identify the underprivileged kids and ask them what they would like for Christmas. The officer then goes out and purchases the toy(s) and hand-delivers it to the children." Ortiz said.

Ortiz also said that they may provide security for private organization functions, for example, if a single student organization on campus wanted to sponsor a dance, they would provide security for a fee. Depending on the number of participants, their fee may be higher or lower.

Government stripping right to privacy

David --··-· Hindman

Every day, you leave fingerprints on everything you touch. Little telltale signs of your physical presence identifying the exact body that made them among the billions on the planet.

It never crosses your mind to concern yourself with these nearly invisible imprints of your existence because they're probably not being lifted and

The supposed purpose of the cameras is to provide a cheaper alternative to the street pad sensors that control traffic flow at intersection signals. However, the website of Econolite Control Products, Inc., the first of three company names provided by the public works department, indicates that an optional color output can be used for surveillance, as well as for monitoring traffic flow. Surely they're doing this for the safety and good of us all, right?

According to the liberal group, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the conservative Republican House majority leader, Dick Armey, some elements of the rather diverse world of computerized

license plates. They make a record of the car and its occupants, especially the driver. Perhaps this is the future of "face mapping" technology; via logical extrapolation. By making a digital map of Department of Motor Vehicle records, it might become extraordinarily easy to match the department's digital image to a photograph taken at an intersection.

Then, the condemning evidence c~n be mailed to you, or thrown at you in court if necessary, in spite of the possibility that the yellow light may be shortcycling, and that the limitations of human reaction times is the crime of the condemned.

But that's only the beginning.

Each digital photograph taken of you could be used as one more pixel to complete your character profile. It's the pixel in between the ATM you used in Littleton, the credit card you used in Denver or the cell phone call you made in Glendale (especially if you have a digital phone using satellite technolo~).

Conceivably, not only could they "map" your face, but also map your associalional topography ... who do you hang out with? What is the nature of your relationship with _them? Do they have an arrest record? Do they have the "right" politics? Do they have the "right" religion? Do they have any "rights" at all?

In the final analysis, freedom is most effectively lost incrementally. Though most government officials probably have good intentions for our safety and security, the employment of photographic enforcement technology begins to look eerily similar to London's transparent society.

Historically, our society has valued personal freedom over government "protection," but you only have the freedom you fight for.

Our government is, as yet, accountable to the citizenry. If we don't work now to disentangle ourselves from the web of privacy intrusions, we will soon be so bound by Big Brother's fiber optic cords that we can simply no longer be free. Our every movement will be under scrutiny and under regulation.

And the subject. under the camera may become ex.actly that: . a subject, not Q citizen. · Use the technology currently at your disposal to win your freedom, not lose it. Become informed. Call your representatives.

Keep them accountable. Organize.

catalogued.

Yet, everyday, you leave behind evidence of a much more personal nature.

Deeply personal.

You inadvertently tell the tale of who you are to people who are greedily recording and indexing everything of significance that you do. You are, often unwittingly, producing digital fingerprints, with every telephone or cellular call you make; every ATM withdrawal, every credit card purchase, every e-mail you send, Internet site you visit or surveillance camera you cross. There's a record of every video you rent, every letter you mail with a return address, and every book you borrow or buy. They are the fingerprints, not of the body, but of the soul, forcing you to reveal to voyeuristic corporations and government entities: who you are, where you are, what you do, how you think, and even with whom you choose to associate.

Our right to privacy, based largely on the Fourth Amendment and other bodies of law, is systematically and incrementally being dismantled before our eyes, and our lives increasingly laid bare for those with the authority and power to see ... and often manipulate.

Each year seems to bring us some new method of intrusion.

Colorado has introduced "face mapping," supposedly to prevent people from fraudulently obtaining multiple licenses under different names.

The City of Lakewood, according to a spokesperson for the public works department, has received federal funding to install cameras atop the light poles at intersections near City Hall.

traffic control technology should give us great pause. The mere fact of agreement between these political opposites, and their cooperation together in combating . the increasing occurrence of law enforcement-directed photo surveillance, including Big Brother's cash cow (red light photo enforcement), should send the epinephrine coursing through our veins; jolting us into that "fight or flight" wake-up call that turns. political apathy into purposeful action.

Though Lakewood's new camera program seems to be innocuous for now, several interesting things have come to light in other American cities that should make you the one who's turning red. An examination of red light photo enforcement programs in Mesa, Ariz. and especially San Diego, Calif. has revealed that cameras are deliberately being placed at intersections with shortcyc ling yellow lights, making the "decision zone" much more difficult for drivers and, in effect, entrapping them by virtue of insufficient reflex time, rather than willful non-compliance. The cities have made millions, and the private corporation that installs and services the cameras doesn't do 'too badly either. They get a cut of every fine collected by the city. Who's the corporation you ask? None other than the federal defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. It seems ironic that a company, who's supposed · to be defending us against foreign adversaries, is tre~'ing our citizens as_ domestic enemies by invading their privacy and their wallets as well.

These cameras don't just record

American immigration reform rooted in ignorance

Danielle Haraburda

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

The wretched refuse ofyour teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

-The Statue of Liberty

According to former Gov. Dick Lamm, the passage above is outdated.

"The Statue of Liberty was put up when this was an empty continent and we needed additional people,'' he said in an Aug. 9 article of the Denver Post.

I'm not exactly sure why U.S. Rep. Tom Tan credo (R-Colorado) and Lamm are so very concerned about immigration reforni.

Perhaps I'm mistaken and they both happen to be from North American indigenous ethnic backgrounds. I'm not sure.

I am sure, however, they both seem to believe th is county's future prosperity relies heavily on stemming the tide of emigrants into the United States. A few weeks ago, Tancredo introduced HR 2712, the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 200 l.

This legislation was co-authored by both Tancredo and Lamm. If approved, it would impose a five-year moratorium on immigration during which only a handful, 25,000 refugees, or spouses and children of American citizens would be allowed in the country.

Whether you agree with Tancredo and Lamm's plan depends, I suppose, on your perspective about immigration and whether or not you believe the commonly held myths about the damage done to our country by foreign emigrants.

We have a lot of ideas about this topic in America. Unless we descend from an ethnic background indigenous to North America, most of us can trace our roots to men and women who, themselves, emigrated from another country. I, like a lot of people, probably give at least a passing thought to this idea of immigration, because, like a lot of people, it,s the reason I'm here.

My families came here from Sweden and Poland. They started out a lot like most emigrants do; they worked low paying, menial labor jobs, started a family and tried their best to make a better life for themselves and their children .

I'm glad they did. I enjoy a life in this country I would probably never have in Eastern Europe or Scandinavia.

I own land; I vote in elections and have never worried about the upheaval of the established political government in my lifetime. And, like a lot of people, I'm not always happy about the policies in my country, but I get to voice those opinions and take part in the political process to change them without fear of violent reprisals. If I didn' t already live here, I'd want to.

I think a lot of people ponder these same things when they think about

that moves into an area brings with it a need for workers and then additional services to provide for these new residents. In fact, new industry actually attracts emigrants, both from other countries and other states, not the other way around. But we can 't attempt to restrict business growth. Why, that'd be simply un-American.

So why, if immigration isn't the next threat of the American way, are so many people and legislators (the distinction is intended) bent on blockading foreign born people from entering the U.S.? In the Aug. 9 article of the Denver Post, Tancredo said he expected to be labeled "racist and xenophobic."

Well, he said it, not me. But the truth, I suspect, has more to do with the eventual political affiliation than anything else does. The majority of emigrants in the United States are Mexican born, and typically these new residents tend to side with Democrats. This makes curbing immigration an even more important agenda for Republicans.

Unfortunately in this case, the co-author of HR 3712, Lamm, is a Democrat, so the explanation becomes a little more muddled. But not much. don 't earn and spend in a vacuum.

They don 't live in a vacuum either, The scary stories aboU,t immigration which is why emigrants, especially in seem to have swayed the usual states such as California or Colorado, Democrat's position regarding this are blamed for over-population an路d issue. Democrat politicians, no less urban sprawl problems.

But this than Republican ones, read opinion accusation is grossly over-inflated. polls and often push traditional party Legal and illegal emigrants are but a views to placate the fears of citizens. sliver of the actual population increase Sounds to me like Mr: Lamm will be in America. The increase of American seeking another go in the political arena population is largely due to children before too long.

As long as the United States has born in the United States by citizens already established in this country. I'm work that would otherwise be unfilled not opposed to procreation, but if the by domestic residents, we will have country is truly in peril as a result of a emigrants from other countries rising population, why aren't legislators knocking on our doors.

Sometimes, in the case of illegal emigrants, these numbers are indeed stolen, but the income taxes taken out of the check are still deposited into the Social Security fund. In fact, if the number is fictitious or stolen, the worker is contributing to the fund and will never be reimbursed for this money when, or if, he or she ever retires.

immigration. But it seems, more and more, that many people are basing their opinions about this subject on halftruths and a parade of horrible "possibles."

To some, even those whose origins mirror mine, the idea of immigration conjures up notions of unwelcome interlopers coming into our country and taking up valuable jobs from deserving citizens. This would be bad enough, but they' re also, according to many, siphoning off the tax monies from hardworking Americans by enjoying state welfare utilities. Additionally, they seem to have been assigned the blame for over crowded schools and urban sprawl.

If these are the kind of things you think about when you contemplate immigration, then, no doubt, you support HR 2712: But maybe, if you do, you might want to consider a few facts.

Most people immigrating into America, legally or illegally, fill low paying labor positions. Personally, l think exploiting workers by paying them wages as low as some of these people make is criminal, but assuming this doesn't bother you, remember, the products and services most of us enjoy at such low costs would be higher if so

Two top teachers were unjustly denied I wanted to wish each of you a tenure several years ago. And The Capitol successful semester while at the same time I Reporter, the department's teaching fonnal ly announce my retirement from newspaper, was eliminated.

Last year the college gave me leave to A word about The Capitol Reporter. I work in the newspaper profession in Costa never thought I ever would defend Sheila Rica. I am still here. Please check out my Kaplan, our president. But she did the new daily electronic newspaper in English: correct thing in eliminating The Capitol http://www.amcostarica.com Reporter several years ago.

The 11 years l have spent here teaching Any publication should pull its own journalism have been wonderful, but I still weight financially. But when the idea of The am not convinced college is where people Capitol Reporter came about in 1989, no should learn to be news reporters and one thought seriously about how the paper editors. I find it to be an extremely would be supported. That was the fatal flaw. inefficient system because over the 11 years Inevitably the flaw led to failure. And the we have produced perhaps 20 top news concept was thrust upon the Journalism reporters. Of course the college likes the Department by Institutional Advancement. glitz of journalism, photojournalism and It was a public relations stunt, and not a public relations to attract students, but that well-reasoned teaching tool. (Although has never been my concern. several hard-working faculty editors made it I think I would tell would-be so). newspeople that a strong undergraduate Of course, as an international authority education that stresses the traditional on newspaper management, I hardly ever knowledge is more vital than the techniques was consulted on The Capitol Reporter that can be learned later. I mean because the facts are not what the math/statistics/history/hard sciences/liberal administration wanted to hear. arts.

As with every experiment, institutions Those who will say that I am leaving should front the startup costs, but soon the Metro because the Journalism Department project should pull its own weight. was eliminated in my absence are wrong. I I do think, however, that President would have perferred to have been Kaplan should have reinvested some of the consulted on this action, but the decision hundred thousand dollars a year saved by was inevitable because the college has failed killing The Capitol Reporter in the

Journalism Department. But she did not.

In general, I think that the quality of the student and the quality of the education at Metro has suffered over the past 11 years. I am not sure that Metro should get the blame.

National economics generally define a student body.

Still, it seems to me that the emphasi~ during the last six years has been on graduating students. My emphasis always has been on making it extremely difficult for students to graduate. I do not want lousy journalists any more than I want lousy teachers or lousy physicians or lousy lawyers or even lousy public relations people.

I strongly believe in open enrollment but in not an open exit. ln general, I found that the students rise to the challenge, something of which I do not think the current administration is convinced. Bur to think otherwise cheapens the MSCD degree.

A number of our better journalism students did not have direction in life before they came to Metro. Open enrollment saved their lives, as journalism s~ved my life.

As part of the journalism training process, I used Metro as a typical institution and trained my students to confront authority and write stories without fear or favor. Some at Metro objected. â&#x20AC;˘And many were justified because.some students were more aggressive than the situation warranted. At other times they did not push

hard enough.

If an institution is not open, it is not fair.

And Metro never has been totally open.

Looking back on my years at Metro, I find that they were trivial when compared to the contribution of other professors. Tom Cook's name leaps to mind. I have seen him doubled over with pain from a recent operation yet still filing his grades at the Registrar's Office.

Closer to home I am in awe of Fred Gillies, an adjunct ¡ professor in the Journalism Department who is so meticulous in correcting his classwork that his fonner students represent a disproportionate share of Colorado's professionals.

And I must also include Bill Vaile, another adjunct professor, without whose uncompensated efforts the department could not run. He is the only member of the fonner department qualified to teach public relations, yet the department has a major in the field.

With people like these and many others who know who they are my time at Metro has been rich and interesting.

Thank you all for your efforts, and if you are in the neighborhood ....

I have attended two other colleges and universities in different cities, and have never seen such shrewd and unfair business dealings as I have with this campus' bookstore.

It was the last one on the shelf, and I was willing to negotiate a better price. I was met with attitude and rudeness when I approached the stores' supervisor.

Festival explores Judaism on film Chris Ward The Metropolitan

For the past six years, the Mizel Center for Arts and Culture has worked with the Denver Film Society to present the Denver Jewish Film Festival. For a week in late August, the Mizel Center showcases movies about Jewish life and Culture.

This year all 19 films in the festival, which ran Aug. 16-23, were shown in cooperation with the Golda Meir Center at Metro.

The festival opened with the Starz Pictures premiere of ·One of the Hollywood Ten, the story of director Herbert Biberman. Biberman was one of the filmmakers who challenged the House of Un-American Activities Committee; he went to prison and was ostracized by the Hollywood studio system for his actions. The film chronicles him and his wife, actress Gale Sondergaard, as they fall out of favor among their peers.

Opening with Sondergaard winning an Oscar and closing with Biberman

directing Salt of the Earth, parts of which had to be filmed in secret to avoid pressure from the FBI to keep him from working, One of the Hollywood Ten does a good job telling the story of an important part of cinematic history. However, it felt out of place at this festival. Biberman's religion has little to do with his struggle, and it is not a major factor in the movie. Considering that mo;t of the featured films dealt rather directly with Judaism, One of the Hollywood Ten almost stands out as a way for Starz Encore, one of the festival sponsors, to showcase one of their upcoming films. _ Also prominent in this year's festival was the Image and Identity series - four films concentrating on Jewish self-representation in documentaries. For all the movies in the series, the filmmakers were present to discuss their work with the audience. Also on hand were film scholars Michael Renov and Janet Walker. Renov is a professor of Critical Studies at t4e University of Southern California's school of cinema

and television, and Walker is the associate professor of Film Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The filmmakers joined Renov and Walker directly after their movie was shown for a panel discussion with the audience.

Two of the films in the Image and Identity series were by Abraham Ravett. Everything's For You and The March were shown together to begin the series. Although they were completed ten years apart, the two films work together as separate attempts by Ravett to understand his family's experiences with the Holocaust. Everything's For You deals with his father's life as a Holocaust survivor, and how it affected his relationship with Ravett. The March is a series of interviews collected over more than a decade with Ravett's mother as she talks about the 1945 evacuation of Auschwitz and the Death March that followed.

Both of Ravett's films are effective in conveying the emotions he wants to capture, but at the same time there is the constant distraction of Ravett

audience is going to think," Ravett said.

"The audiences that have been the most unreceptive to the work have been around Jewish themes this (such as festival)."

One of the filmmakers present who wasn't part of the Image and Identity series last night was resident Boulder Chuck Davis. His film, Raising the Sparks: A Personal Journey Back to the Jewish Path, was a documentary of his own experiences returning to Judaism.

The audience was less receptive, most of them not staying for the discussion.

He works as a pharmacist, but hopes to continue making documentaries. "It's my goal just to be a filmmaker," he told the audience after his movie.

Another highlight of the festival was Brother Born Again, in which filmmaker Julia Pimsleur sought out hEJ estranged brother Marc, who had jomed a Christian sect and alienated himself from his family. Some of the discussions Pimsleur has with her brother are very interesting, and they put a moving face to some religious debates.

Also of note was the presentation of Gentleman's Agreement, the classic 194 7 film that was one of the first American movies to deal with antiSemitism. Celeste Holm, who won an Oscar for her role in the film, was on hand for discussion of the movie.

Although still a fairly new event, the Denver Jewish Film Festival has established itself as a strong resource both for Denver's Jewish community and local fans of cinema.

(U-WIRE) LONG BEACH, Calif. A gigantic color wheel covered with matching colors of food will be the product of the Art 300 class at California State University-Long Beach. The cfass is composed of both Liberal Studies students seeking a Subject Teaching Multiple Credential and Art Education majors seeking a Single Subject Teaching Credential. This six-week summer course will end with this tasty exhibition.

"I wanted something really special for them. I want Liberal Study students to feel like artists," said Merrie Martino, instructor for Art 300 and Liberal Studies 404. "I wanted to teach them what it is really like to be an artist."

According to Martino, the class was divided into five groups. Group one will be the red entree group, two will be the blue dessert, three takes care of the white beverages, four is the yellow salad group, and group five is in charge of the lighting, reception and publicists.

"The students have been working this entire summer; _four hours a day, four days a week, for six weeks.

These students have been working so hard it makes me feel so good, they love this class," Martino said.

"White pasta might be blue, sauces orange, we'll have to see."

The color wheel will take up the middle of the gallery, and will be taste-tested by the artists at the end of the event.

"The students are going to eat it after, they have to have it documented for the capstone class," Martino said. "We will see if the color has a psychological affect, if the color repels them. They have to change the color of the food in a radical way, it is part of the perceptual, psychological aspect."

The taste test will be documented after the color wheel is documented via video, digital photography and slides. Dr. Karen Kleinfelder, professor of Art History at CSULB, as well as a 20th/21st-century specialist, will participate as the "art critic" and offer the students feedback.

After the event there will be a reception for guests, that will contain "normal" food. The guests do not get to take part in the tasting of the color wheel.

The Metropolitan The tiny island, just smaller than the state of Connecticut, ihas much to offerher deep blue-green sea, white sandy beaches and steel drums pulsating the crisp air.

The island is home to Reggae music and Bob Marley. She is i host to hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. The people of Jamaica now offer their art to Denver.

This week the MSCD Center for the Visual Arts will host Soon Come: The Art of Contemporary Jamaica. The exhibition will feature 32 works by 20 well-known contemporary Jamaican artists.

Many of the artists have been formally trained abroad but quite a few have been self-taught, they are the 'intuitive' artists.

Both styles are fairly represented to reflect and celebrate Jamaica's various arts at the end of the 20th century.

The Jamaican slang "soon come" loosely translates as "great things happen when the time is right."

One of the featured artists, Albert Chong is a nationally recognized Jamaican artist who currently is an associate professor of art at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He explores his African, Caribbean and Chinese roots through selfportraits and fabrication of ritual objects.

His "Self-Portrait with Eggs" will be displayed and offered for sale at the exhibit.

Students told lo exersize caution Ylhen drinking Amber Williams Rocky Mountain Collegian

•

~-

(U-WIRE) FORT COLLINS, Colo. When students think about college, they think about being free of their parents and partying to their hearts' content. What most students don't realize is that drinking can be a very dangerous recreational activity.

"People drink too much too fast," said Jim Weber, assistant director at the Center for Drug and Alcohol Education on the Colorado State University campus. "It takes 30 minutes for alcohol to hit you. During that time, you can drink a lot and you may not realize how much you're drinking until it hits you."

Blair Mauk, a counseling coach at the Alcohol Counseling and Educational Services in Fort Collins, Colo., agrees that this is dangerous. He cautions everyone to be prepared when they are planning a night of partying. "Have a plan or a vision. People go out and experiment. The best choice point is when one starts to drink, have a plan like a peer group to check on each other," he said.

When the alcohol starts to set in, people begin doing crazy things. This is when an individual can begin to put themselves and others in danger. One of the biggest hazards of being drunk is that emotions oftentimes take over. It only takes seeing that ex walk into the bar to make people do things they normally wouldn't .

"Emotions· can aggravate a person's behavior when the)'. have been drinking," Mauk said.

Weber agrees that alcohol alters people's personalities.

"People don't think well. Their brain doesn't work well. That's why people do outrageous things," he said.

To prevent this from happening, simply know your limit on your alcohol consumption. According to Weber, knowing how much you can consume comes from prior experience, but in general, a man shouldn't drink more than five drinks in one sitting and a woman shouldn't drink more than four.

"If you stay at this level or under, your chances of negative consequences diminish significantly," Weber said.

Mauk agrees that tolerance comes from prior experience and said that to have a tolerance, you have to build one, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

"Toler ance means your body is starting to adapt to the side effects of alcohol. You have to drink more to get the same effect," he said.

Test yourself. Mauk believes that for one to know their limit, they must be able to perform as adequately in an emergency situation as they would if they had had nothing to drink at all.

This goes back to prior planning.

"A lot of people never think an emergency situation will happen. Then,

they don't know how to respond. One can never know when those situations will happen," he said.

One of those situations is the evergrowing danger of having a drug being slipped into a friend's (or your) drink.

According to Weber, the cases of these incidences have grown significantly over the past five years. He feels that not keeping track of your drink is the biggest mistake you can make.

The most common drugs to be slipped really important you be the one to get into your drink at a bar or a party are your drink and watch it."

"It is reported four to six times a year to just us," Mauk said.

"Ninety percent are women."

Of course, to avoid all of these dangers to the best of your ability, don't drink.

"Using the excuse 'everyone is doing it' doesn't work," GHB and Roofies (Rohypnol).

"People get raped or robbed when Weber said. "Not everybody is doing it. this happens," Weber said. "Sometimes One out of six st udents are abstinent." it happens just for the hell of it. It is

Metro soccer teams strive for new era of success

..

lmthiaz Hopkins The Metropolitan

â&#x20AC;˘

-A new era began this summer for Metro women's soccer, long-time coach Ed Montojo retired after 16 seasons. This leaves some pretty big shoes to fill, so what does Metro do?

They hire Regis University assistant coach Colin Gilmartin.

During last season Gilmartin split his time between head coaching the Mile High Mustangs, a semi-pro women's team and Regis. Gilmartin inherits the Roadrunners that finished the season 11-8-1, 8-4 in conference last season.

The Roadrunners, who are predicted to finish third overall in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, returns ten players. "I want the team to work hard and establish a strong work ethic," Gilmartin said. "If we finish above .500 I'm fine with that."

Although Gilmartin said the transition has been tough, some of the Roadrunners feel differently. "This is a good change and good for the program," senior goalkeeper Bridget Gallagher said. "We're excited for the season and we only hope for the best."

The Roadrunners start the season in Greeley against University of Northern Colorado on Aug. 24. "UNC will be the toughest game, but it will be an eye-opener," Gilmartin said.

The Roadrunners season also includes playing nationally ranked Barry University the tough competition doesn't have the Roadrunners scared. "We're very optimistic because we can be competitive this year," Gilmartin said. "By the middle of the season we will be stronger and tougher mentally."

Look to watch the Roadrunners make a statement t his season. On the other side, the men's soccer team is making a

statement nationally.

The Roadrunners start the season ranked eleventh in the nation. "It's nice to know that we are well respected in the nation," head coach Brian Crookham said.

The Roadrunners open-up at home against Southwest Oklahoma Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. The Roadrunners, who fipished last season second in the RMAC return fourteen players and add 14 additional players giving the.m more depth on tlie field. Look for Eric Butler to be challenged this year at goalkeeper and the Roadrunners to be solid. "We have a tough pre-season schedule, but we open up conference against Regis and Mines," Crookham said. "Our goal is to make it to the final four, but for now we need to concentrate on winning the next game."

'We~le very Optimistic because we can be

competative this year.'

;- Volleyball team's chemistry coming together lmthiaz Hopkins

The Metropolitan After finishing second in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference the Roadrunners women's volleyball team is looking to step up to the next level.

"We've had a two-year rebuilding year, and our chemistry is finally coming together," head coach Debbie Hendricks said. "Now we have the chance to achieve goals we didn't last season."

The Roadrunners return eight players from last year's team and are looking to win the RMAC title this year.

"It has been a great transition these past two years and we have great experience, we will win conference this year," senior Tiffany Baird said.

Before they get there they have to

face two nationally ranked teams in the University of California-San Diego tournament. The tournament starts Aug. 24 in San Diego, will have the Roadrunners facing Cal State- Los Angeles who's ranked fourth in the nation.

While in California the Roadrunners will also play ninth ranked University of California at San Bernardino. "There will be good competition at the tournament, it will give the girls a chance to grow as a team," Hendricks said.

Hendricks said the Roadrunners look strong and have more depth on the team with their strong recruiting class that came in. "We will get a chance to see how we play because the best defense is played in California," Senior Tiffiny Baird dives for a ball in practice during the 2000 season •

There will be good competition at the tournament, it will give the girls a chance to grow as a team,'

Baird said.

CSU hopes to continue last year's success story Reed Saunders & Jason Van Ort

Rocky Mountain Collegian (U-WIRE) FORT COLLINS, Colo. The nets are strung high and tight, - - serving drills are in full swing and the pink flamingoes are ready to run rampant at Moby Arena.

It can only mean one thing: volleyball season is here.

The expectations for Colorado State women's volleyball are higher than ever before. The Rams enter this season ranked No. 14 in the USA Today/American Volleyball Coaches Association preseason poll, one spot behind last year's best ever preseason liii1lt" ranking of No. 13.

The Rams are coming off two Sweet 16 consecutive NCAA appearances, including two Mountain West Conference championships.

L. Returning four starters (including two All-Americans) from last season's squad, the Ram seniors know the pressure is on to produce again.

I "This is our last shot," said senior I setter Allison Peckham. "The pressure is on, but it'll be fun and we'll enjoy the ~ · games that much more because in the back of our minds, it's always there that time's running down."

SENIOR DOMINATION The Rams have six seniors returning from last season's 32-5 team, and fifthyear head coach Tom Hilbert said he expects those seniors to bear the majority of the work and pressure.

a-

,..

I

~-

"They have to realize they're going to have to handle a lot of the load for us," said Hilbert. "The good part is they want that responsibility."

Two of those seniors, middle blocker Angela Knopf and outside hitter Courtney Cox, are coming off AllAmerican seasons. In addition to being named MWC Player of the Year, Knopf was a first-team All-American select_ion, while Cox was named to the second team.

Peckham and middle blocker Soraya Santos are also coming off AllConference years, while outside hitter and team captain Emily Darger and defensive specialist Kelly Kerr will also be key contributors.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK To go along with the seniors, the Rams enter 2001 with six true freshmen on board, making for one of the biggest and most impressive recruiting classes in CSU volleyball history. Two who could have immediate impact are outside hitter Becky Sarauer and middle blocker Andreya Downs. Sarauer is a member of the Canadian Junior National Volleyball team and has drawn the praise of her coach and teammates.

"We were impressed," said Santos.

"She hits hard and her time with the national team in Canada is really helping her prepare for D-1 competition."

Downs stands at 6-foot-3 and was ranked among the top five recruits in the Fab 50 by Volleyball Magazine and

was a four-time all-region selection while at Northridge High School in Clinton, Utah.

Setter Melissa Courtney, who was named the MVP of the Junior National Olympics in 1998 and was the CIF conference player of the year in 2000.

Courtney is the heir apparent to Allison Peckham and Hilbert would like to see her get some experience this season.

"Melissa can do a lot of things for us," said Hilbert. "I want her to heal and be 100 percent, but I also don't want her going into next season with no repetitions under her belt."

WALKING WITH THE WOUNDED At first glance, the injuries the Rams have suffered in the preseason appear to be overwhelmingly significant.

However, all on the team are hopeful about bouncing back and recovering quickly.

A look at those hurt shows that two of the freshmen are still getting over springtime injuries. Outside hitter Chelsea Spotts has some nagging shoulder pain, while setter Melissa Courtney tore her ACL in March. Both are carrently practicing with the team, but taking it easy for now.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, two seniors are also working through their injuries. Outside hitter Courtney Cox is once again having shoulder pain, due to her chronic bicepital tendonitis, but she feels well about this season.

Setter Allison Peckham jammed her thumb in practice, but x-rays reveal it isn't very serious.

Ironically, Hilbert feels the two freshmen will be the most missed.

"We don't want to go into a season with only one setter," said Hilbert.

"We're confident our injuries will be behind us in a month or so."

BIG CHANGES IN STORE There have been a few significant changes to the official rules of the game, which might make this season feel different for both players and fans.

The first change is that all games will be played with rally scoring, which means that all serves are worth a point ·and there are no side outs. Games will be played to 30 points to compensate.

Senior setter Allison Peckham is enthusiastic about the change.

"Rally scoring makes everything more exciting," said Peckham.

The other major change involves serving. Serves that hit the net while crossing it will now remain in play. The rule is designed. to keep play going by reducing service errors.

"This is something we must get used to," said Hilbert. "I'm in favor of any rule that keeps play going and in the long run, it will work well with the rally scoring."

A fast-paced, more exciting game should improve Colorado State's already high game attendance. As captain Emily Darger said: "I think this is going to be a great year for the fans."

The Rams will open the 2001 campaign at home against Arkansas on Aug.31 at 7 p.m. in Moby Arena.
