A recent racist incident at Community College of Denver sparked a campus-wide uproar among minority students

c who now are demanding changes in non-discrimination policies.

The incident occurred in a classroom at CCD that appar­ently had been scheduled for two different classes. One class, which consisted primarily of minority students, had already gone into the classroom. A student from the other class then

.L. came in and insisted the classroom was his. Arguments between the two classes began as the student referred to some of the members of the class as "beaners", and stated that the room was "hot and smelly."

The arguing persisted as the student continued to shout racial slurs, and students began to leave. Students in the class

J- said they were upset because a professor present during the incident did not intervene.

Furthermore, students said the administration at CCD did little or nothing to reprimand the student or the professor.

CCD President Byron McClenney said both were told to make an apology in front of the class.

, In a meeting Monday, Oct. 17, ethnic clubs from Aura-ria's three institutions disc~ the administration's failure to adequately addr~ racism at Auraria.

"If they [the administration] don't know that racism in 1988 is wrong, it's time they find out," said Glenn Morris, an ~t prof~r of political science at CU-Denver.

~THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS----TheM-etropo-man ~ System stifles progress for student government Chad Morris Government Editor

After a two-week absence, I thought I would have missed a lot of action in student government. There was so much they were working on when I left: teacher evalua­tions, drop fee and the directory information problem. Surely something would have been done by now.

Wrong. Here we are at the end of the ninth week

of classes, a quarter of the way through the present student government adrninstration and these issues remain. We're still being assessed a drop fee and we' re still ·paying too much for parking.

Yet these were campaign promises of MSC Student President Bruce DeWitt last spring. So far, all he's managed to do is annoy most of the smokers on campus.

However, despite what seems to be popu­lar opinion, DeWitt is not the only one to blame. There's no reason Metro's student senators should be left out of this report card.

Up at the retreat last August (paid for, by the way, with your student fees) I got the feeling these people really wanted to do something big this year, something they would look back on and be proud of. And to some extent I still believe there is a core of people who would like to see something done.

But considering how little has been accom­plished, I wonder where those people are.

Once again, student senators are not entirely to blame. Most decisions they make have to be approved by one group or another, usually consisting of someone from either the administration or the Auraria Higher Education Committee. If they're really unlucky, the group will have to

answer to someone from b9th. And we all know the trouble with (or

specialty of, depending on your perspective) bureaucrats is their innate ability to pro­crastinate.

What all this amounts to is a system that makes getting things done on campus as difficult as ~ible - not just for students, but for administration as well.

There is so much red tape that a senator who has one school year to get something done will most likely never see his project through to the end. And I think the adminis­tration is well aware of this. It knows if a senator is put off long enough, the idea will not be picked up by someone else next year.

Take student Sen. Andrew Patterson, for example. One of his special interests this year is the directory information issue. As you may recall; this is the deal where nearly anyone can get such information as students' addresses and phone numbers simply by cal-

ling and requesting it. Patterson has put some time in on this

one. He's talked to the administration, namely Dr. Esquibel, the vice president of student affairs, and even consulted Judicial , Board members, but nothing has happened. ~ The administration put him off indefinitely by consulting its own lawyer to make sure the laws are being interpreted correctly. With all the legal texts to consult on this one, who knows how long it will take. Mean­while, you still can call directory informa- 'f

tion and get a phone number. Maybe the Patterson Report is right;

maybe we should make this one big school. It would cut down on red tape, save tons of salary money and it might, just might, give the final word on remedial classes.

Anything would be better than watching the few dedicated senl,ltors spinning their wheels in a swamp full of bureaucratic mud. o

State funds to pay for $100,000 athletic del>t . \

continued from page I

"I've administered NCAA programs," Brewer said. "And we're not talking about a great deal of money."

Metro's intercollegiate teams compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Associa­tion's Division II, and have an operatin~ budget of$716,000 for the 1987-88 season.

However $716,000 was not enough to cover athletic expenditures.

Greene noted that because the accounting books were closed in August and because

not all of the bills had been accounted for, "we didn't run into a problem until later."

"If there are reserves," he said, "there is not a true over-expenditure. If they over­spend, the deficit is moved forward and remains on Athletics' books."

However, when the state funds are put into place, the deficit will be erased.

And Gianneschi supports the president's move.

"We're happy that Brewer took quick and decisive action to help clear up the

c

deficit," Gianneschi said. "The reason the president moved so quickly was because of funding problems, not management prob­lems.

"It appears that from day one collegiate athletics would operate in a deficit. The $13 athletic fee is not going to underwrite the athletic program for the next two years. It would have taken a fee of at least $14.50.to cover it," he said.

However, the Student Affairs Board estab­lished a $13 per student per semester

athletic fee a year and a half ago to support intercollegiate athletics. As part of the deal, athletics would receive no additional fund­ing from the SAB, nor would there be any fee increases until the end of a three-year trial period.

In· that time, Intercollegiate Athletics would have to sink or swim on its own merits. At the end of three years, a student referendum will decide whether the athletic · fee should be increased, decreased, main-tained or discontinued. o #

NEWS-----------~---------­Brewer supports MSC governing Au • rar1a Mlryam Wiiey Reporter

MSC President Thomas Brewer told a _; group of about 50 teachers at the Oct. 13

Faculty Senate meeting that he worries about "creeping elitism" if Auraria's three institutions merge into one professional university.

This idea was proposed by the recent '"" Franklin Patterson and Aswciates report of

the Auraria Higher Education Center. Brewer commented on the imminent

changes in Metro's admission standards if the merger occurs. He also shared his experience at Georgia State University where new criteria for admissions in Masters in

<- B~ Administration programs were being considered and failed to be enacted by only five votes.

"Had those criteria been in effect the preceding year, 66 percent of the MBA stu­dents at Georgia State would not have been

~ admitted to the university,"Brewer said. "Having been through those wars ... I worry a lot about what is going to happen to admis­sions, [knowing that] Metro has done so wonderfully well for the past two decades."

As for the possibility of Metro becoming r Auraria's landlord, Brewer believes it is the

best choice. "In many ways, it would give us much

more control over our own destiny than we now have."

But if the Colorado Commission on

Higher Education were to restructure Aura­ria's governance with a new board, Brewer said it could work.

"When you come right down to it, you can have the very worst organizational struc­ture that you can put down on a piece of paper and good people will make it work," he said. "And you can have the very best organiz.ational structure and bad people will mess it-up. No matter what you have, it's going to take good people doing it."

The only option Brewer is opposed to is the idea of making Auraria's three institu­tions into one "professional university." He said it would endanger Metro's mission.

"I think our mission is important," he said. "We've been a success. It has provided thousands of students with an opportunity to get an education. I think that's important that it not be lost."

If the merger were to become reality, many factors would have to be considered, such as each school's purpose, varying salar­ies, different faculty expectations and the evaluations processes, he said.

"I've also worried about what happens to undergraduate education when people start talking about graduate programs." Brewer said.

"The undergraduates always pay for the graduate programs, it's unavoidable."

Brewer repeatedly spoke of acces.9 to education.

"Metro does provide access," he said. "Metro has reached out for the minority

Faculty members, however, argued that access already has been denied to MSC stu­dents who can no longer take required remedi~ courses at MSC since Brewer can­celled them.

Brewer, . who would rather call these courses "developmental," insisted the courses are available nationwide through commun­ity colleges.

"I think that the perception that remedial work is not available is wrong," Brewer said.

"Remedial work is available, it's just going to be taught by CCO, and that's why we have joint faculty committees working right now."

He explained that he can't make the assumption that the courses are not accepta­ble just because they are taught by CC-Denver.

"If we make that statement, then what we are saying is that it's ok for UCO to say that Metro courses are not acceptable and that there's something wrong with us." o

and mission to provide initial and continu­ing career-oriented educations in under­graduate and graduate studies, rather than concentrate on purely academic discplines.

A number of such studies have been pres­ented to the CCHE since 1978 but no action has ever been taken. However, many feel action will be taken this year.

"I think there's a much better chance of seeing action this time," said AHEC Execu­tive Director Morgan Smith. "Because of past reports, the CCHE can make a decision based on experience."

CCD President Byron McClenney agreed. "I think we'll see formal actions taken this time," McClenney said. "I sense a certain impatience in people across the board to get a change in place."

CCO has not yet taken a formal position, as the State Board of Community Colleges will meet Nov. 10, to make a final deciSion before returning to the CCHE at its next public hearing Dec. 1. However, McClen­ney said he is not happy with the report because he feels community college posi­tions were not represented accurately.

"There was very little recognition or understanding of community college educa­tion in the Patterson report. It totally ignored the existing significance of a community col­lege in an urban area," he said, adding that CCO's board did state its intention to remain at Auraria.

"I think when an action is finally taken, it will be slightly different than any of the three options on the table right now. I think that problems will occur with any of the mod­els," he said.

Brewer and Gee, however, both testified

that Model Two would best accommodate Auraria.

"Model Two best allows MSC, UCO and CCO to continue the development of roles and missions crucial to providing the best education, research and service to metropol­itan Denver," Brewer said at the hearing. "We can and would manage well."

Gee also supported Model Two, saying that AHEC needed to be disbanded because it denies schools a forum to solve problems. He added that creating an entirely new insti­tution would only be solving Auraria's prob­lems with a "lobotomy."

Brewer agreed, saying that a new institu­tion would take years to become organized and would cost the state too much money.

But the Auraria Board is not sold on the idea that Metro could best manage the campus.

"I don't think it works to have one institu­tion handle the facilities of the others," said Smith, citing the fact that all three institu­tions currently argue over space allocations.

"It creates inner conflict from the start," he said.

CCHE will meet Nov. 3 to form a staff recommendation, based on the public hear­ing last Monday. A final decision will be reached Dec. 15, at which time the CCHE will take its recommendation to the state legislature. o

Racism at Auraria Morris added that although there have

been only a few blatant acts of racism at Auraria, it still exists, only in a more subtle form.

Students at the meeting agreed with Morris.

"[Racists] are like cockroaches that have gone back into the woodwork," one student said.

Gwen Thomas, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of minority recruitment and retention, said part of the problem can be attributed to the administra­tion's lack of effort to accommodate the needs of minority students.

"There has been no effort to create an environment in which minority students feel valued and a desired part of the program," Thomas said.

continued from page 1

According to Thomas, Metro lacks an appreciation of minority cultures. She said this further perpetuates racism on campus.

"MSC is a case of ongoing racism," she said.

However, Thomas said she is pleased with the advancements the institution is making to help solve the problem. For example, MSC President Dr. Thomas Brewer plans to make ethnic studies a requirement for all Metro students. Thomas supports this, and said she is pleased with Brewer's efforts.

"He certainly is sensitive to this part of the mission of the college," Thomas said.

However, Joe Navarro, a member of Mecha, Metro's Chicano club, said that before racism can stop at Metro, minority recruitment must be improved.

"As long as there's an under-enrollment

of minorities, there's a problem with racism, Navarro said.

Students who attended the meeting dis­cussed ways to ensure that anyone commit­ting a racist act or any prnfessor not trying to stop such an act would be severely penalized.

"They're a threat to our college, and they need to be removed," said one student.

Brewer said that although he is not aware of any specific incidents at Metro, he agrees the problem exists.

"There's racism on every campus, I would be surprised if it were not at MSC," he said.

Brewer added, however, that racism will not be tolerated at Metro.

"Institutions have to stand for something, and that has to be the dignity of the individ-ual," Brewer said. o

In about three months, Ronald Reagan will pack his Brylcream, his jellybeans and

..,

the wife he calls Mommy onto Air Force One and head back to the ranch in Santa ~ Barbara for good.

Taking his place behind the flashy rose­wood desk in the Oval Office will be either George "I wasn't there and I don't even know where Iran iS' Bush, or Michael "couldn't you always walk on Boston Har­bor?" Dukakis.

I've watched both of the debates between these two, but I don't remember either one. Does anyone else have that problem?

Given the problems the next president will face, this ought to be an interesting 4

election - if the two candidates don't put everybody in the country to sleep before it's over.

All is not boredom in the race to sleep in the Presidential canopy bed, however. (Yes, it is a canopy bed, but only because Ronnie. will be taking his race-car bed back to Cali­fornia.) All you have to do to see some good dirt is take a look at Dan (See my haircut? It's just like Jack Kennedy's) Quayle.

Heard this one? They're making a movie about Quayle's Vietnam experience. It's called Full Dinner Jacket.

BaDumPum. But aside from all the fuss about Quayle's

inability to form even first-grade level sent­ences, it's true that Election '88 will not be remembered as an edge-of-your-seat contest.

And nobody can figure out why fewer and fewer people are voting these days? Here's why: it's a face-saving gesture on America's part. We'd all be pretty embar­rassed if any of the clowns that run for office anymore won by a landslide (let's forget about '84, when Reagan only cleaned up because Mondale is so obviously a boob).

Actually, far from being ashamed, we should all be proud of the fact that this country can so skillfully protect its image. Everybody knows that from George Washington's cherry tree to Jimmy Carter's toothy grin, it has been presidential image that has made this country great.

So in case one of you, the four of five people who actually read this column, is considering voting, don't sweat it Just do what the rest of the country will do: walk into the voting machine, pray for guidance from the God of the Lesser of Two Evils and start pulling levers like crazy.

It's gotta work. I hear Quayle used a similar method on his SAT s to get into Duke. D

ging economy, according to Harry Giannec­shi, vice president for institutional advance­ment at Metro.

"We're sending a message to the world that Denyer is ready to come back," he said.

Gianneschi spearheaded the move to pur­chase a WTC license from the association about a year and a half ago. From there, the school needed to find an interested group to provide support for establishing the center.

They found it last May in a group made up of the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce, the governor's international trade office, Rocky Mountain Export and BCE development.

An agreement finally was reached after months of negotiations. Metro will provide the license and run any educational activities at the center, such as seminars and language classes. In return, the partnership will estab­lish the location and complete any capital construction.

But just what is a World Trade Center? Centers provide a wide range of services for international businesspeople and their pro­fessions.

"It's a 21st century approach to world trade," says Gianneschi.

Services will include translators, copy centers, hotel space, a health club, a restau­rant and office space for visitors. It's a little like belonging to a worldwide club for bus­iness. Ideally, one could travel to any center and find duplicate services.

While Metro's involvement in such a ven­ture may not be readily apparent, Gianneschi

offers a couple of explanations. As one of the largest businesses in the downtown Denver area (over a thousand people are employed by Metro), he feels Metro should be giving something back to the community. And helping Denver's economy in the process doesn't hurt either.

"Our people have to live here," he said. "Our graduates have to find jobs here."

Providing more work will be a definite possibility since organizing the educational programs will require a lot of "people hours," he said. The programs will include business seminars and language classes.

On the student side, the trade center. will --: provide openings for internships in interna­tional business. Plus, Gianneschi foresees influential people coming to Metro because of its tie with the trade center. This would give Metro a greater variety of guest speak-ers and lecturers, he said. ·

Gianneschi said the only real downside to the project he saw was organizing the educa­tional programs. If the center doesn't work out, many valuable hours will have been lost. However, he said that's to be expected.

"There's risk in any business." Right now the only thing stopping the

opening of the trade center is the approval of the association, but Gianneschi said he had written to the WTCA president and felt that was only a formality.

His next project is getting Metro President Thomas Brewer to take the trip to Bombay, India, where the approval will take place at the association's yearly conference. D

EDITORIAL----------------Administrative silence not golden

Why is it that administrators talk only when they have nothing to say? At least nothing important.

Administrators, fond of spouting such rhetoric as "My door is always open to students," unfortunately

· can often be found hiding beh·ind those doors. Tightly closed doors. Especially when the subject turns to something they have no intention of discussing.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly someone with a propensity for seemingly endless verbosity can retort, "I have nothing to say."

Take for instance the recent demotior\ of speech Pro­fessor Tom Cook. At the request of Larry Johnson, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, Cook stepped down from his 20-year job as chair of speech.

Why, you may be prompted to ask? Well, nobody knows. Or at least nobody below the level of depart­ment chair. But it's not for lack of trying.

Dean Johnson, in true bureaucratic fashion, refused to explain. In fact, with all the arrogance of someone on the defensive, he said, "I have nothing to say." When

LETTERS

pressed further, he went on to say, "I have nothing to say." And so ended that meaningful exchange.

Well that's just not good enough. I would like to take this opportunity to remind Dean Johnson of something he apparently has lost sight of - he is on this campus to serve the students.

It seems that Dean Johnson's ettort to protect him­self, Tom Cook, the college. or whomever he is protect­ing, has taken precedence over students' right to know.

Students have openly complained about Cook, some saying he treats them unfairly and, at times, with a .complete lack of respect. Dean Johnson refuses to say whether the complaints had anything to do with Cook's demotion. But students have a right to know whether their voices were heard and their pleas for action heeded.

If they were, then Dean Johnson was simply doing his job by replacing Cook with someone more respon­sive to students. Unfortunately, that remains a mystery, and what students are left with is a sense that once

Former prez defends drop fee Editor,

In 1985-86 I served as president of the Associated Students of MSC. During my tenure, I served on the Enrollment Management Task Force and joined in rec­ommending the now much maligned drop fee. Though the legislatively mandated enrollment cap which spur­red the fee no longer affects the college, I, as a student, continue to endorse the fee.

The drop fee has several benefits for students: 1) Though the fee requires students to plan their

semester carefully, fewer students are forced out of class space that ultimately becomes vacant, and space becomes available for students who are serious about taking a particular course. Prior to the fee, students would often be denied enrollment in a course due to lack of space. Later, space would open up as students decided to drop that course in the third or fourth week of the semester, too late for students who would have enjoyed, or more importantly, needed that course. This was not a rare occurrence. It happened far too fre­quently.

2) The drop fee saves students' money. It helps stabi 1-ize enrollment, allowing the college more accurately to predict FTEs (Full Time Equivalent students, one number used by the legislature to fund higher educa­tion) , and thus cut budgets more closely. This helps the

college run more efficiently and helps stay the rise in tu ition.

3) In the absence of • drop fee, every time I drop a class, you have to pay for it. Registration costs money. Think of the paperwork that has to be done when you add or drop a class. When you add a class, tuition pays that cost. When you drop a class, the drop fee pays that cost.

Two arguments I hear bandied about are "You can't drop a class if you decide you don't like (the class, the teacher, the textbooks, the boys, the girts. etc.)" or, "You can't evaluate a class before taking it. "

To these arguments I must reply : 1) .You are not supposed to like every class you take, many tasks in life are odious, yet persevere you must. 2) Two or three class sessions are hardly adeq'uate to evaluate the con­tent of a sixteen week course. 3) Talk to your peers. Find out who the best professors and what the best classes are, you might learn something, or gain a friend on the side. 4) Student government ought to be publish­ing course evaluations. This is not an impossible task even without the explicit cooperation of the college.

Hoping the above is both provocative and helpful.

- Christopher Dahle Former ASMSC Pre1ldent

again they have been shortchanged by the people who are supposedly looking out for their interests.

A straight answer to a simple question is not asking too much, except it seems, from an administrator unwill­ing to own up to his responsibility. ·

But Dean Johnson is not the only person guilty of dodging issues. There are plenty of other people play­ing their share of hide-and-seek.

In fact, trying to get a straight answer from a bureau­crat on this campus is a lot like trying to decipher what a politician believes about an issue. They never veer too far from the center, unless it makes them look good, and they never really take a stand for fear that someone may disagree.

Well if you're making decisions someone is bound to disagree. Administrators on this campus should quit worrying about how everything is going to look and concentrate on serving the needs of students.

Student opiniori: Does 'Official En~ Declaring English Colorado's official language is

either an act of partiotism and pragmatism or a move to legislate racism.

It all depends on whom you talk to. Supporters of the "English as official language"

amendment believe that language is the glue that binds our society. The amendment's passage will elevate English to its rightful stature, proponents argue. And English would become the "language of record," mak­ing it the sole language of government. The cost of translating, printing and distributing documents would decrease, and the diverse peoples of Colorado would be drawn together by a common language.

Instead of promoting bilingualism, the amendment

1. I oppose it.

2. There won't be as much involvement in politics as there Is now because the ballots will all be In English and Hispanics wouldn't be able to partic­ipate in elections

3 It would divide them. I think It already has started to divide them because instead of making us be Americans, it's separating us into different cate­gories by our language.

4. No. If they abolish bilingual It wiU _ lessen the chances of learning Eng­lish. The educatlon wouldn't be there because they wouldn't be able to learn the language.

5. It depends on which side you're com­ing from, actually. If you're against it, it's moral because you're trying to take away their rights. But then if you're for it, It's practical because it will save tax money. You won't have to print everything out in other languages.

tion in a language they can understand, minorities will be distanced from the majority by the very tool intende(j to pull them closer.

They contend that English is already Colorado's primary language. And they feel that Colorado's strong­est bonds stem from shared beliefs. Also. they fear the amendment will drive a wedge between Colorado's people Instead of bringing them together. If English is legislated into a superior language, non-English speakers will feel their native languages are somehow less valuable. And opponents argue that this perceived slight will overlap on the ethnic minority cultures as well. The abolition of bllingual programs will cause further division. By no longer offering English instruc-

Events within the last two weeks have cast the dark pall of racism over the debate. On Oct. 17, both the president and the chairman of a Washington-based organization that provided financial support to Colorl'if­do's official English movement resigned. Discovery of a 1986 memo written by U.S. English founder and chair­man John Tanton caused the shake-up. In the crudely­worded memo, Tanton expressed concern over the high birthrate of Hispanics, their ability to learn In com­parison to Asians and the likelihood that Hispani~s dedication to the dominant Roman Catholic faith might

1. I oppose it because in Colorado there are so many different peoples. It's multi-national.

2. I don't know how things will change.

3. It would divide, definitely would divide. There are a lot of Hispanics who would like to exercise their lan­guage, and there are a lot of Indians who would like to exercise their lan­guage too.

1. I oppose it. I feel it is unnecessary and an insu1t to peoples of cultures other than the dominant culture.

2. If it stopped with the amendment. I don't think it would cause any harm, if it was as innocent as it sounds. But I believe that It is the first step on a racist agenda to get rid of bilingual education and bilingual voting. It could possibly inl\fblt translators In court and freedom of speech.

3. Divide, definitely. I think the best way to foster unity is to accept dif­ferences. The only attempt that I think can be seen In this is division, saying that if you don't conform to this , you are unworthy or subordinate.

Growing up is difficult. Growing up in an alcoholic home can be devastating.

"When I was twelve, I decided no one could be trusted," said Angela, 26, who was quoted in the book" A Workbook for Healing:' Adult Children of Alcoholics" "Many times

'It's hard to know what the effects are, but we do know It affects the students' ablllty to succeed In school as well as In other areas In their llves'

I'd tell my mother things, then the next night, after a few drinks, she'd whip everything back at me distorted and ugly. I'd look to my father for help, but he'd shake his head, throw his arms into the air and leave the room."

Angela is one of the many children of alcoholics. There are nearly 10 million in the United States, according to Patty Mcconnel, author of the workbook.

According to Dr. Ron Veatch, director of the MSC Counseling Center, adult children of alcoholics are increasing on Metro's campus.

"It's a major problem and more people are coming in identifying that as an area in which they need help," he said.

Many of the MSC students who grew up in an alcoholic environment suffer from sev­eral problems, including lack of confidence

and assurance that they can succeed, Veatch added.

''It's hard to know what the effects are, but we do know it affects the students' abil­ity to succeed in school as well as in other areas in their lives," he said.

Yet, until recently, adult children of alco­holics have been an ignored group, Veatch said.

About one-fourth of the people we see [for counseling] have grown up in an alcoholic household with either or both parents being alcoholict Veatch said. "It's been an undis- .., covered problem until now."

However, there isn't enough staff available . to provide services to adult children of alco­holics on campus.

"We offer a group for adult children of alcoholics and it's always full," Veatch said. ~

"We don't have enough groups for them and they often end up on a waiting list once the group is filled."

The group has twelve members and about the same on the wait list. But one way to solve the wait list problem, Veatch said, is to_'-. put more money into the center.

For example, three more full-time pa;itions are needed in order to comply with staff-to­student ratio standards. The center currently has five staff members.

"The process takes months," Veatch said. "We have requested funds for the last three years. Funds are too tight. I'm trying to re-allocate some priorities to start another group. We'll have to divert some staff time to the ACA group." conUnued on page 1•

The sorceress - dressed in a loose red sweat shirt, blue slacks and yellow running

.,_ shoes - stood with her hands braced - against the small of her back as the 16-legged

monster melted into a patch of flowers. Marilyn Hetzel, MSC's director of theater

Carroll's lumbering Jabberwock to a field of flowers. Still Hetzel studied the groups' movement from behind wide-rimmed gl~, constantly refining the scene as the students wove between and around eacfi

• other.

'Not having a theater would be llke llvlng In a world where we never hear a bird sing. But think, of what use Is a robin?'

~- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She first felt the magic of theater at age 6. "I remember being 6 years old and in my

first play," Hetzel said. "I was a fairy in Santa's village."

From then on, she said, she was always involved in some part of theater.

Although she didn't follow her father's footsteps exactly, she came close. He worked as a performer in a variety of roles, including carnival acrobat. But her parents tried to point her in a more practical direction.

, "When I went to college, it was more - being pushed by my parents to do something

"pragmatic," she said. She earned her first degree, a bachelor's in speech education, from the University of IDinois in 1968. However, she wasn't satisfied with just teaching. She neeeded to perform. So she

r- worked in Summer Stock, sang in bars and performed in musicals - her favorite type of production. Hetzel sandwiched two more degrees and several jobs between performances.

She earned a master's degree in commun­ication and theater in 1973 and a doctorate in theater and dance in 1983, both from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She financed her education by working a variety of jobs, including teaching speech and direct­ing, keeping books for a hotel, managing a

....., catering company and cooking. "You can see from my background that

I'm not your lock-step kind of person," 42-year-old Hetzel said. She also said ·she's intolerant of actors who have only studied acting and haven't lived other walks of life.

f She sees acting as a pursuit requiring a var­iety of skills, experiences and a lot of discipline.

"Without discipline, talent is useless," she said.

And although theater's benefits may be intangible, she said, they are vital.

• "Not having theater would be like living in a world where we never hear a bird sing. But think, of what use is a robin?" Hetzel aske<I. And that attitude carries over into her plans for MSC theater.

She'd like it to exist first for its own sake. """ Now, she said, theater at MSC is in a "ser­

vice" role- used as a tool to refine students' speech and presentation skills. She'd like to enhance this function by elevating the pro­gram to the same level as Metro's other disciplines, she said.

"I'm working to establish theater as a discipline, which it is, and not just as a ser­vice to other ~le," Hetzel said.

After 20 y of teaching experience, Hetzel is ready to de ote her knowledge and passion for theater to MSC's program. And she's committed to MSC theater. ·

"I haven't come here to build my~ ment," she said, "I've come here to build a program."

The creative energy bounced from the Players to Hetzel and back again. After two hours of rehearsal she turned from the group for the first time. A broad smile arched across the bottom of her face, shining beneath curly brown hair . Pure magic. D

SPORTS Spikers earn ranking old-fashioned way Ellzabeth Reese Reporter

The MSC women's volleyball team has earned its national ranking the bard way -winning.

The team is charging through its season gaining national recognition, remaining c:On­fident when games look dismal and continu­ing to place team members in the Continen­tal Divide Conference player of the week spotlight.

Oct. 18, the team was ranked 17th nationally in NCAA Division II volleyball. It's an honor the ladies deserve after the rough schedule they've played recently. Saturday, Oct. 15, the spikers rallied against an extremely skilled University of Alaska­Anchorage team to win the match in five games (12-15, 16-14, 13-15, 15-12, 15-7).

"We lost the first game," said MSC coach Joan Tamblin, "and we were down 11 to 2 in the second game. We came back to win 16 to 14."

Tamblin said her team is confident after its trip to New York two weeks ago, and the confidence showed in a CDC game against University of Alaska-Fairbanks, Oct. 14.

to her team, said, "I've never seen this team out on this court tonight."

The Nanooks couldn't make anything work. Their serves were weak and misplaced, they were in the net, they weren't communicating as a team and were outclassed by an excited, confident and skilled Metro team.

Tamblin said her team is "playing well and begging to gel together" as a team. The Fairbanks win was the Roadrunners' easiest win of the season lasting only 47 minutes.

MSC sophomore Becky Kofoed was named CDC player of the week Oct. 17, · with a .396 attacking percentage with 51 kills and only 9 errors in 106 total attempts during her l l games. For the week Kofoed had 43 digs, two service aces, two block solos, eight block assists and three assists.

Kofoed joins teammate Verna Julaton who was CDC player of the week Sept. 19.

In other action last week, the spikers whipped the University of Northern Colorado (15-4, 15-12, 15-7) in Greeley. UNC, ranked 17th in Division II volleyball until MSC overtook the ranking, was unable to defeat the MSC ladies on their home court.

Upcoming matches include the MSC o.

The ladies made few mistakes in their romp over the Lady Nanooks (15-5, 15-0, 15-7), while a frustrated offense made the ladies from Fairbanks appear as though they bad never seen a volleyball before.

SPORTS--------~~~-MSC men's soccer squad regains steam to earn split

~ ~--------~~~ John Gegner Sports Editor

The MSC men's soccer team rebounded from a 2-0 loss to nationally ranked Univer­sity of Missouri-St. Louis, Friday, Oct. 14, to

"' defeat Northeast Missouri State University 3-2 the following night in St. Louis.

With the split, Metro's season record dropped to 6-4-3, with three of the losses coming on two eastern road trips. The win against Northeast Missouri State stopped a

~ two game Roadrunner losing streak. Against 2nd-ranked Division II UM-SL,

Metro lost two starters in the opening min­utes _of play. Forward Chris Kalman suffered a fractured tibia and defenseman Scott Van Beek went out with a hip-pointer. All-

, American stopper Scott Wibbenmeyer put ._ UM-SL up 1-0 scoring on a header off a

comer kick 8:04 into the game. Despite the loss of Kalman and Van Beek,

Metro held UM-SL in check until 37:04 of the second half when John Galkowski

. scored on a free kick to ice the victory for the """ruvermen.

Even in losing, MSC coach Bill Chambers was pleased with his team's performance. He said the Roadrunners outplayed UM-SL in the second half, but missed several good scoring opportunities.

( "Forthemajorityofthegame, we had the better of it," Chambers said.

Saturday night, Metro started slowly and . was outhustled by the Northeast Missouri

State Bulldogs in the first half. The Road­runners, without Kalman and Van Beek,

'\ . lacked the depth to spell players effectively

and played sluggishly according to Chambers. With 6:23 remaining, the Bulldogs scor~d and took a 1-0 lead into the break.

After a Chambers peptalk, Metro came out charged in the second half. At 28:24, Robert Lipp scored the first of two quick goals to tie the game.

"The first one was beautiful," Chambers said. "I mean it was a rocket right into the comer. The goalie didn't even move."

A minute and 40 seconds later Lipp scored again to put Metro in the lead. Chino Melendez upped the count to 3-1, nailing a
