Assembly looks at parking Student governments form assembly, write memo to school faculty chairs

by Brenden Martin The Metropolitan

Has the following situation ever happened to you?

One car in, one car out. You quickly do the math in your head and realize that you won't be parking for another 20 minutes. You check your watch only to realize that you are already 15 minutes late for class.

complete with only 40 minutes of class time left.

Even more frustrated, you start answering as fast as you can, about the same pace as your rapidly beating heart, only to get halfway through the exam before you hear, "Time is up, please return your Scantron sheet and questions to tbe front of the class."

And you want to scream out: "PARK THIS!" as a suggestio.n of a geographical

'There are, like, over 18,000 people at Metro alone, and there are only, like, 9,000 parking spaces.'

- Chris Chandler, AST/A representative

Twenty minutes later, cursing yourself for not taking the Lightrail, you find a spot at the very end o(the lot, slam your car door, grab your books and begin to sprint across campus.

Huffing, puffing and sweating, you run into class and plead your case to your profes­sor.

"Bu-, bu-, but the parking was unreal today," you exclaim. "There was nothing I could do!"

The professor has no mercy, and hands you an exam that takes an hour and half to

location for the test papers to your professor. Never mind road rage - this is parking

penance. You don't beat up the other guy; you beat up yourself.

It is hoped that campus officials will soon be addressing this problem.

Students already have. The Auraria Campus student governments

have formed an Auraria Students Tri­Institutional Assembly focused on solving problems for Auraria students.

On Nov. 4, ASTIA issued a memorandum addressed to Rod Muth, the University of Colorado at Denver chair of faculty, Joan Foster, Metro president of faculty, and Kim Poast, Community College of Denver dean of students.

The memo addresses the current parking problem on Auraria Campus. It explains that due to the lack of parking spaces on campus, especially during mid-terms and final exams, that "It may cause more tardiness and absences among students and create a poten­tial for failure of a course when not permitted to take their final exams due to tardiness."

ASTlA states in the memo "while the corresponding policies of various depart­ments and colleges are important in uphold­ing the principal of class attendance, the scarcity of parking spaces combined with the stressful period surrounding finals may fur­ther heighten smdent frustration over not being able to park on campus."

That large chorus of "amens" you just heard was from stressed-out students.

"I wait in this line every Monday and Wednesday," Matt Hout, CU-Denver student, said while waiting for a parking space.

" It is always a crap-shoot time-wise, espe­cially during finals week."

The memo then goes on to ask Auraria faculty to please have a more lenient policy during the times of the semester when stu­dents arrive to late to class due to lack of parking spaces.

"We ask the various departments and fac­ulty members on our campus to reconsider and be more lenient with tardiness and absences directly related to the hectic parking situation," the ASTIA memo said. "We are

Kaplan asks staff to take furloughs by Noelle Leavitt The Metropolitan

Metro President Sheila Kaplan sent an email on Nov. 4 to all Metro administrators asking them to consider a voluntary fur­lough, or unpaid leave. The application peri­od for the furlough is Nov. 7 through Nov. 14.

"This is not something we are encourag­ing or demanding," said Lee Combs, general counsel.

Kaplan said that this would be a volun­tary act made by administrators, and under Colorado Department of Personnel of Administration, the college cannot offer vol­untary furloughs to classified employees at this time. Therefore, the policy applies to administrators only.

Combs said the voluntary furloughs mean that when somebody needs to take a leave, that they will now be able to do so. Before the policy was considered, the leave would not have been possible because of workload.

The actual policy is a voluntary request form for an administrator to fill out at his or her will. The policy also states that the employee's pay will be reduced proportion­ally for each day leave is granted. Furthermore, if an employee is on voluntary furlough and experiences a family medical leave, the furlough will be removed and the employee will receive sick leave pay.

"These policies recognize that both the college and employees may benefit from increased flexibility in work schedules," Kaplan said.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan sits at her desk in Central Classroom 315 Nov. 5. Kaplan sent out a Nov. 4 email asking Metro administrators to take vol­untary furloughs, or unpaid leaves.

affecting company and college budgets. The new policy is supposed to increase

financial flexibility in the college due to the state's budget cuts, Kaplan said.

of the college savings," Combs said. Another way the college is trying to save

money is through a hiring freeze put into place by IS-aplan two months ago.

The new policies have nothing to do with

the hiring freeze, said Cathy Lucas, director of college communications.

So far, Lucas said, no administrators have given any feedback to the new policy.

Keep travelling despite terrorism

by Mindy Jamiel The Metropolitan

Don't let fears of terrorism prevent you from traveling abroad, say staff at Metro's Institute for International and Intercultural Education.

"There is always some issue around the world," said Dr. Akbarali Thobhani, director of the institute. "Even going to a safe place, you never know what will happen. So just be on the lookout for anything."

However, the Institute advises students who apply for Study Abroad programs to stay away from regions of conflict. Because of tensions in the Middle East, Thobhani recently cancelled a student trip to Egypt for a third consecutive year.

"We were scheduled to go in December," he said. "There were students who were concerned about the situation, so we decided to put it off. Last year it was 9/11 and then the year before that, the outbreak of violence between Israel and Palestine."

But the Institute won't prevent you from going to, say, Israel, if your heart is set upon it.

"You know, if you insist on going to Israel, certainly you can go," said Thobhani. "But the college wou1d take extra measures to make sure that the college is warning you about the difficul­ties that you might encounter ... to release the college from liability issues.

' 'The credits would still be transferable, you know, but ... the student will be expected to take greater risks."

Fortunately, most students looking for Study Abroad programs choose low-risk regions like Western Europe or Australia, said Institute Program Assistant Rachel Patarino.

Even if a region is considered low-risk, call­ing attention to yourself as an American could make you a target.

"We walk around thinking that wherever we (Americans) go, we can do whatever," said Patarino. "If we can change that attitude, you know, L think that the world still would be safe."

So what is it, exactly, about attitude that paints a red bull's-eye on Americans traveling abroad? Take a look in the mirror before you go, said Thobhani and Patarino.

"Don't ever wear a T-shirt that says the Denver Broncos. Or don't ever wear 'USA Rules,"' said Patarino.

Even though she spoke the language, Patarino said she couldn't shed her spots when she visited Italy years ago.

"I walked up to someone ... and I said, 'Well, how do you know that I'm an American?' I said that in Italian and they said, 'by your dress, by your shoes, by your jewelry, by your haircut. ' And I looked at myself and I thought, 'and my shoes?'"

"Women in Europe tend to be more fashion­able in their outfits," said Thobhani. "Jeans are quite common ... [f ennis shoes are] not a faux pas, necessarily. You won't find too many

Fisherman teaches Auraria crowd by Amy J. Denning

The Metropolitan

"Hesitate. [pause] Cast," said Bob Hix, a 39-year-old professional fishing guide at a fly-fishing seminar at the Auraria campus the afternoon of Nov. 5.

"When that loop starts to cast down, throw it forward," Hix said as he demonstrat­ed with his pole and line. "Tum you feet sideways and watch. Hesitate. [pause] Cast. Watch that loop as it rolls backwards and for­wards. Hesitate. [pause] Cast."

"t" Hix's eyes followed the fishing line, which sailed in the precise direction that he guided it. His diverse audience of students, faculty and staff trailed his casting technique with their eyes and clung to each of his instructions.

Hix spoke confidently about fly lines, ·,. rods, reels, equipment, knots, trout food and

fishing techniques. As he instructed his audience, he donned

his faded green fishing vest equipped with a fly box, weights and a small fi shing net, and demonstrated techniques of casting a fly rod with precision and elegance. ·

effect," Hix said. "It's all timing, it's that nice fluid motion. "

· One of the biggest mistakes people make when learning to fly-fish is in the purchase of supplies, Hix said.

"Just because you can afford to buy the best doesn't mean it 's the best for you," he said.

Purchasing a balanced outfit: of a rod, reel and line is essential and the cost can be affordable.

"You can get a really nice balanced outfit -... for less than $200 ... You don't have to spend

$800 to make it balanced," Hix told the group.

And once the proper equipment has been put into the hands of the beginning fisher­man, the old habits may need to be broken: casting too much line, casting too fast or not hesitating at that critical moment.

"I've been fly fishing for 10 years ... [took a few years oft] and I came back to get a refresher course," said Diane Hollenbeck, a Metro accounting student and staff member. " I'm one of those people with bad habits,

t _ . hours before he finally reeled the fish in. " I just kept waiting for the rod to

explode," he said. During the summer, Hix trolls the waters

of Alaska for 11 days, and in the winter he travels to Mexico to fish the blue waters.

"I love to fish for blue water fish like f- marlin, tuna and sailfish," Hix said. "I've

been going [to Mexico] for about eight years.

"We catch silver salmon, sockeyes and king salmon," Hix said. "I'm in the process of buying my own boat in Alaska."

Since 1982, Hix has been managing All Pro Fish 'n Sports at 6221 S. Sante Fe, Littleton, which was opened by his father in 1982. When he's not practicing his manage­rial skills, he teaches fly-fishing classes, speaks at meetings and makes te levision appearances.

and a guide for walleye, bass and trout in Colorado. The majority of his guided trips are at Chatfield, Cherry Creek, Aurora Reservoir .and Pueblo Reservoir. However, when he guides his trout trips, he travels into

the mountains to different rivers and reser­voirs.

Metro student Art Wallin encouraged people to take guided fishing trips, especial­ly for beginners. The guides teach the art of casting and different techniques.

"They know where to fish and what to use," Wallin said. " Lt's really cool to see how much progress you can have in one day under the right tutelage."

Hix suggests watching fly-fish ing videos or enrolling in a class to learn the bas ics or to advance your techniques in this year-round sport.

"Don 't be afraid to fly fish," he said. "Any age can learn and catch fish. I 've been doing it since I was 5 years old, and to me, it 's effortless."

Symposium draws small crowd

by Kristi Starns The Metropolitan

It was a disappointing turnout for the organizers of "Enough is Enough," the Domestic Violence Symposium held on Auraria Oct. 30.

The day, which was organized by the Peer Educators of the Metro Counseling Center and the Institute of Women's Studies and Services (IWSS), was filled with speakers addressing how domestic violence affects dif­ferent cultures and the community. Some of the organizers believed the small turnout reflected the lack of caring in society for vio­lence against women.

"This is always a difficult subject because domestic violence so long has been treated like a personal issue," said Kristina Matkins, director of Community Relations and Education at SafeHouse Denver. " It's like America's dirty little secret"

People drifted in and out as the day pro­gressed but didn't stay long.

"If we can just reach one person, it's worth it to us," said peer educator Tanhee Campbell.

Steve Sahir-Silan, a junior at Metro who stayed to listen to one of the speakers, brought up the point that the day was focused entirely on the battering of women and didn't address the fact that men are battered.

"When a person of your own group has done something wrong, you don't want to acknowledge it," said Sahir-Silan, who is an advocate for male issues.

Every 15 seconds, a woman is battered in the nation, according to Matkins.

"Violence occurs in same-sex relation­ships at about the same rate as heterosexual relationships," said Avy Skolnik, direct servic­es coordinator of the Colorado Anti-Violence Program.

Women and men can be abusive in het­erosexual and same-sex relationships, but whether you're male or female, you should feel safe in your home, said Matkins.

SafeHouse provides services to victims of domestic violence. They also tell the commu­nity about the issue because they believe "it is not a women's issue; it's everybody's issue," Matkins said.

This was the first time domestic violence awareness had been brought to Auraria, according to peer educators.

"It's an important issue for Metro because women here, faculty and students, have lost their lives on our campus trying to get to class­es," said Elaine Enarson, interim assistant directorofIWSS. 'They've been murdered by partners in our parking lots and in our build­ings."

In 1987, the ex-husband of Pamela Mcintyre-Marcum, an advertising and mar­keting teacher a Metro, shot and killed her and then himself on campus. They had been divorced for two years.

A lot of a student's life is spent on cam­pus, one reason the Peer Education Program and IWSS brought domestic violence aware­ness.

"It's like your home," said Campbell. "You should feel safe here."

"If you suspect someone is being abused, contact your local domestic violence agency for information on how to approach and sup­port them," Matkins said.

To be part of the domestic violence task force, call rwss at 303-556-8441. Or, for help, call the 24-Hour Crisis Line of SafeHouse at 303-318-9989.

confident that such measures will contribute to the success of our student body."

Chris Chandler, Vice President of Administration and Finance for Metro and ASTIA representative, said, "Best case sce­nario would be that if we could just get rid of that whole policy that if you are late you can't take your mid-term or final."

Chandler went on to say, "lt's crap because there are like over 18,000 people at Metro alone, and there are only like 9,000 parking spaces. For students to be punished for being late due to lack of parking and not being able to take mid terms or finals is unfair," he said.

Negin Sobhani, president of associated students of CU-Denver and one of the three representatives of ASTIA, said, "This is a problem mainly only the last couple of weeks during mid-terms and final exams of each semester."

Sobhani said that it will ultimately be up

Patarino said that wearing a camera around your neck is a dead giveaway. "Who else but Americans walk around with 3 million cam­eras?" , Just as important as your appearance,

Patarino said, is being aware of your surround­ings. Look at people. Pay attention to baggage or packages left lying around. And knowing the language and local customs helps, too.

Students that participate in the lnstitute's group trips, including the semester in London program, attend a mandatory five-hour pre­departure meeting. At the meeting, students are told how to keep themselves safe and how to project a sense of self-assurance in other coun­tries. Patarino also provides cultural and health information about the destinations.

Students taking independent Study Abroad trips are required to watch a video produ~ by Semester at Sea.

"[The video] is pretty comprehensive and it covers basically all the things that I would cover in my pre-departure [meeting]," Patarino said. "Plus, I hand out to the students ... a booklet that talks about safety and Study Abroad"

The booklet is the Study Abroad Handbook, also located at www.studyabroad.com. Patarino recommends that even students traveling inde­pendently should read the handbook for traveling safety and health tips ..

Faculty members who accompany students are also given health and safety information. They must know the lnstitute's emergency pro­cedure so that they and students are able to con­tact Metro, day or night, if necessary. In addition, faculty members must do a little "cramming" in the international affairs field.

"We require them to view the U.S. State Department announcements about the specific countries they are planning to go to," Thobhani said

Even when traveling as part of a Study Abroad program, personal safety is up to the stu­dents.

"The ultimate, absolute responsibility always lies with the student," Patarino said. "We, as an institution, want to provide as much infor­mation as possible to the students, to assist them in being safe and staying healthy."

to the individual professor. "We can only ask them to reconsider their policies."

Sobhani said that ASTJA hopes that by sending the memo to the Auraria Faculty Senate that: "They will decide themselves, is this something that they want to take as poli­cy and specifically wave tardiness and absences during these times of the semester."

Dalal Al-Zaben for CCD and Metro President of Faculty Joan Foster were unavailable for comment.

There had been no response by the Auraria Faculty as of press time.

The members of ASTIA is not sure what, if any, response will ensue, but their hope is that the all Auraria students are heard.

The N.A. organization will be a 12-step program to treat and cure the human mind and body of drug relations and addictions.

Attendance to the meetings is not mandatory. Fliers will be placed around the school weekly, relaying information on the places and times the meetings will be held.

Eric encourages people to attend. call (720) 298-6068 for more information. The number is open 24 hours a day.

Kill Saddam Hussein!

War is, sometimes, good. No rambling, sophistic babble this week (I'm too busy).

Anti-War (class walk-out)? Who are you kidding? How dumb are you? Kill the head, and the body dies (period).

First, to even be able to "walk-out," you must be able to walk-out without being shot. This is the glory and righteousness we have, countlessly, accepted within our "democratic" government under our democra­cy. We can accept "'peace" without having our heads blown to "parts unknown."

Some people should die, thats just com­mon knowledge. Is there anyone walking this earth who can negate this fact? (0, my little "peace" people).

Yes, war is cruel and unusual. So was Hitler, Ghengis Khan, Alexander,

Manson, William, (blah, blah, blah). Why do we need a war ('sez the blathering idiot), when we should just blow the empty head to Ju pi tor? But, yet, again I digress ...

Point : Evil is evil. Saddam Hussein is a man. Evil must be eradicated. Evil is "hea­then-like." Thus, a "heathen-like" man who is evil, must be eradicated. A bullet through the eyes, is apropos.

Heck, I'm anti-war. Just like I' m pro­choice! Joshingly, I suggest, that the opposite of war is peace, like the opposite of choice is . . . (well, I hope you get the idea).

By the way, I get a kick out of you "femi­nists" against the possible war in Iraq. Do you really believe that the subservience of women (i.e. the caning, beating, stoning, raping, and all that goes with the package) is a justifiable reason for an "anti-war" pledge? (Boy, oh boy! Ifl had breasts in the middle east, I would be pretty ticked and looking for a second-hand, AK.-47).

But, because l am a man, I need not worry about anything ... heck, so your anti-war chat­tel misses my myopic scope (whoop dee doo!).

So, let's all, with melancholy, hold hands together! No war! Who are we to speak, with our cuddly (warm-fuzzy), student loans against a country that is led by a fascist, ras­cist, misogynist, unendowed (i.e. Napoleonic) jackass, dictator with nuclear weapons. The world is a better place with him.

Screw oil. Screw Israel. Screw women. Screw history. Screw knowledge. Screw coherent thought. Screw yourself. Saddam Hussein must be killed.

Let us face the future . Evil exists. What does not destroy us makes us stronger .. Three thousand plus . . . including men, women and childtren were included and justified with "Muhammad. 's" law.

No one is right. No one is wrong. (Given the results from "election day", we all are screwed)

p.s. Thank "God" the election is over, and I've spent, not a bullet.

p.p.s. All you snipers: Killing Mr. Hussein is a trip from purgatory to heaven.

TB tests promote racism A couple of weeks ago I had the opportu­

nity to talk with an irate student. The cause of her displeasure was the mandatory tuberculosis test that all foreign born students must take. What the papers aren't putting out there is that these students won't be able to register until they take this test. The women's beef was legit-

Walter Gant

imate. Why should I have to take this test when l 've basically been living in America all my life? It 's a beefthat more students have discussed with me since the test started taking place. A lot of people who I talked to didn' t want to take the test but did any­way. Others are waiting to the last minute to do this.

My question is this. Who is more likely to be effected: A student who's been in America for the better part of their life or someone just traveling around in places TB is known to be a

problem. My thing is this it shouldn't be regu­lated to just foreign students. It's something that will eventually encompass every student attending this school. It's not a practice taken up by any schools by my knowledge.

However with the other state institutions seeing that everything has went own without a hitch expect it to spread around the state and probably around the country.

TB test are something that I thought were documented in grammar school. If you've been attending school in America since then and you haven't traveled out of the country, yet you test positive for TB now wouldn't that mean that you got it in America.

TB is transmitted when a person with active TB coughs or sneezes. These particles contain live tubercle material, which may result in infection if inhaled. The catch is that the aver­age person never really gets sick from it. You have the potential to become sick.

That's why I know that it's just a matter of time before every student would have to get checked. In an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on October 17 health officials

estimated that between 40-50% of the people tested would test positive for latent TB. Meaning that they carry it and have the poten­tial to get sick and infectious.

It doesn't mean that they are sick now. Well since they've worked everyone into frenzy about this it's only a matter of time before we all have to take test.

The true essence of my problem with the test is this: It's just another form of racism. That is the bottom line. This just adds to the growing list of problems that is making most Americans xenophobic. We already have fear for those not from here and this test just adds to the problem.

Those students don't deserve to be told that they can't go to school without those tests. To ignorant people that would make it seem that they are all contagious.

If we keep up that rational there won't be students with HIV, AJDS, or cancer. It's not that we don't know that they are not contagious we just don' t want to be around it. That is discrim­ination and people should stand up for their rights.

NOVEMBER 7, 2002 - THE METROPOLITAN - PAGE 11

Protecting freedom vs. enforcing it by Justin Breuer Guest Columnist

The seasons are changing and winter is coming. Now is our last chance to see the autumn reds and golds for the year. The begin­ning of winter will also mark the last chance of sending our forces into Iraq for an entire year, as our troops desperately need the lower tem­peratures in order to don the biological warfare gear that just might save their lives. Despite any political maneuvering or manipulating with the United Nations, Mother Nature provides a very real time frame for which all parties must be apprehensive of.

Even if the UN passes a resolution friendly to the US, in that it would grant the US the use of force in any case of non-compliance by Iraq, Sadam only needs to bog down inspectors for two to three months after which time the U.S. can not deploy its troops with proper protection. Iraq has managed to undermine previous weapons inspections for years, so how hard will it be to undermine forthcoming inspections for a couple of months? Once the window of oppor­tunity for a proper US invasion passes, we will have to wait another year during which time momentum towards a war with Iraq will fall drastically. At the same time other issues will have time to fester and eventually demand our attention such as North Korea's nullifying of a Nuclear Weapons agreement and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Pay special attention to the following months as they will decide whether the war on Terror will be sidetracked by the war with Iraq, or that if the US's foreign policy has bitten off more than it can chew. It is the latter that con­cerns me the most, specifically the new, yet to be tested, preemptive doctrine.

Thinking purely logically, the preemptive • doctrine makes sense. There is no way to defend against every terrorist attack, eventually some crazy will get through. Taking the fight to the terrorist before they, essentially, become actual terrorists, is the only possible way of combating terrorism. However, in my mind, there is a thin,

but all too important line between protecting freedom and enforcing it.

We are going to invade Iraq because they have alleged ties with terrorists, a dictator that bears anti-American sentiment and is attempt­ing to institute a nuclear weapons program. There has been an argument presented that if these are the reasons for wiv-, then why aren't we attacking North Korea, which meets all of these specifications, even surpassing them in that they are already in the process of construct­ing nuclear weapons and have openly, publicly, admitted to such. I only want to touch upon this argument because it only serves to question the validity of attacking lraq and not the preemptive doctrine itself.

The preemptive doctrine, and bow it is cur­rently being applied, is the equivalent to pro­claiming that American lives hold greater value than other human lives. The invasion of Iraq

porting an Administration that claims to want to use force as a last resort, and yet is aggressive­ly pursuing a UN resolution authorizing the use of force at the first opportunity presented. Not to mention that any attempt at an orchestrated anti-war stance in the senate has been neutral­ized by the politics surrounding the upcoming elections. Not that it would matter, of course, as the senate voted to forfeit the constitutional checks and balances they were entrusted with in regard to declaration of war. In fact, the recent protest in Denver, at the Civic Center Park, was less anti-war protest than it was a liberal con­vention. One of the presentations was a play detailing reasons someone would vote NO for war with Iraq. One pair of actors represented a couple who had their medical marijuana plants taken from them by Federal officials, so they voted no for war with Iraq. If this is a reason for not going to war with Iraq, then God help us,

The preemptive doctrine is the equivalent to proclaiming that American live hold

greater value than other human lives.

will cause the deaths of thousands of Iraqi sol­diers and most likely at least hundreds of civil­ians, all because of a potential to kill American lives.

I'm not against war, in some instances it becomes a necessity. What I am against is: whatever philosophy supports a preemptive policy, such as the war on drugs. What ever hap­pened to the war on drugs, by the way? I remember bearing bow we were sending in commandos to take out the drug producers in some foreign country or other. We still have a drug problem in America, so what does that say about the effectiveness of a preemptive policy. Moreover, how many terrorists will be spawned from our troops taking lives instead of drug cash crops?

Furthermore, I am having difficulty sup-

the protest did the anti-war movement more harm than good.

I would like to see preventative measures taken to eliminate the environment that helps to breed a terrorist mindset, instead of a preemp­tive military strike which will only further the growth of terrorists. I would like to hear the Democratic Party say anything original, instead of proclaiming to not do whatever it is the Republicans are doing. And lastly, I would like to think that all people are created equal and that Freedom has no boundaries. In a society where every problem is perceived as someone else's fault, I wonder if we have lost sight of the fact that as great as Freedom is, so too is its price.

Elections-A ''school-yard'' fisticuff

With the way that this year's campaign has gone for the Colorado U.S. senate I am hard pressed to hear of more slanderous ads. If

Josh Pacheco

Wayne Allard is not being accused of a scan­dal then Tom Strickland is being demeaned because of his political viewpoints.??! ever hap­pened to the day when we elec t a person for what he or she is, not what they are not? I am afraid that if it got any worse that next term we might find out that the

candidates are head of a Columbian drug ring or worsea€f Naw, I doubt that it would ever get that bad?

This year's election has been ruined because of these negative ad campaigns. In a year when politics seems to have gotten more popular with the general population or air waves have been polluted with ads that speak badly of each candidate. Normally it is hard enough to figure out who wou Id be in my best interest to vote for, but this year it has been nearly impossible because all I ever hear is how horrible each of the men are. I find myself try­ing to keep track of who is worse but it is impossible.

I really question the effectiveness of this technique of campaigning; I mean it is not as if politicians generally have that great of a repu­tation in the first place. I as a voter would much rather hear what the candidates stand for and what they believe in than what mistakes they have made in the past or who they have done harm to. It is not that it is not important to keep track of the negatives of th.e person's career but this year it has been too excessive. For the most part constantly displaying such negative propaganda has made me want to take part in this election less and less because I have become disappointed with both candidates.

This years election campaigns have reminded me more of a school yard argument between second graders than an actual election for the offices that are so important to our polit­ical system. In my opinion both Tom Strickland and Wayne Allard will loose votes due to their lack of class. I at least want some­one representing. me that have learned one of the most fundamental lessons in life, to be nice.

We will see if in years to come making can­didates look as bad as possible will become a trend. 1 feel sorry for the future of politics if it does. Hopefully in the future we can look for­ward to campaigns a lot more civil than this one bas been, if not the popularity of elections will def initely fall and the irritation of the cam­paigns will definitely rise.

Metro music teacher 1im Krueger is the founder of St. Martin's Chamber Choir in Denver, which he started in 1994.

-Timothy J_ Krueger, Metro music instructor

Krueger applies dad's entreneurial skills to music Music instructor credits father with success.in starting a chamber choir

by Jonathan Kuenne The Metropolitan

Timothy Krueger is a Metro music instructor, choir director for the Boulder Philharmonic and St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, and founder of St. Martin's Chamber Choir. He says be has used the entrepreneur­ial attitude be learned from his dad and applied it to music.

Krueger was born in Grand Rapids, Mich. He moved to Colorado when he was 12 and later on attended Bear Creek High School. At Bear Creek, Timothy sang in the choir and bad private piano lessons.

Krueger continued on to Wheaton College, transferred to several others, and fin­ished up his Bachelor's degree in musicology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Krueger went on to the University of Hamburg for bis Master's degree in musicol­ogy. He was then accepted to a Ph.D. pro­gram at the University of London in England. He studied there until bis father passed away two years into bis doctorate. At this time, he took an interruption of studies and came home to spend a year with his mother.

"At that point, I thought of starting a choir. I had as my goal at the beginning that St. Martins Chamber Choir would be Colorado's first all -professional choir," Krueger said. "When I started the choir, I really had lost interest in the degree," he added. "As my career goal shifted, I decided not to continue with the Ph.D. so I threw in the towel."

Anyone in one of.Krueger's music classes already knows that he prepares extensively for every class. However, Krueger wasn't planning on teaching until the Thursday before classes began.

"They called me Thursday asking me to teach on Tuesday," he said. Krueger put the course together over the weekend and was ready with the semester planned on Tuesday.

When asked if there was any time that made him want to pursue music, he respond­ed, "When I was in high school, I gained a real love for Mozart. I loved him so much that my nickname in high school was ' Wolfgang."' It was then that he decided to continue with music.

It wasn't until Krueger heard the Tallis Scholars that he actually enjoyed a choir. The Tallis Scholars is a 10-part chorus that spe­cializes in renaissance choral music.

"The typical connotations people have with choirs are old ladies singing out of tune. And I agreed with that," he said. " I was just in choir because I played piano. The vast major­ity of choirs J beard, I hated."

When Krueger heard the Tallis Scholars, he noticed that they had perfect blend, pro­duced fine art music and bad one on a part as opposed to several attempting to sing one note.

Besides the fact that Krueger puts in hard work and is committed to what he does, he says he credits his father with bis success.

"I think part of my success in music is having learned entrepreneurial skills from my dad," Krueger said. "One thing that has

defined my career is that I haven't stepped into anyone's shoes. I've always started things on my own or have been asked."

Krueger has shown his entrepreneurial success with starting the St. Martin's Chamber Choir in 1994 - Colorado's only professional choir.

"After the first few concerts, I approached people l knew that had experience in fundraising or marketing and asked them to put together a board of directors," Krueger said. "Within three to four years, we were able to go professional."

see the allegory behind things is where the real truth is. That's more important than the real facts."

When asked what bis greatest accom­plishment was, Krueger responded, "On Sept. 15 when I was able to conduct Mozart's Requiem."

This wa~ a concert put together by St. Andrew's and Holy Ghost in honor of the vic­tims of Sept. 11 . It was the first time that Krueger had conducted a full orchestra and choir.

"For me it was a culmination of a dream,"

'One thing that has defined my career is that I haven't stepped into anyone's shoes.'

- Tim Krueger, Metro music instructor

St. Martin's started on a $5,000 a year budget and currently operates on a $100,000 a year budget.

Krueger's status as founder of St. Martin's is well known in Denver. He was -singing in the church choir at St. John's Cathedral when the priest of St. Andrew 's Episcopal approached him to head up their choir. In addition, the executive director of the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra asked Timothy to start a choir as well.

Krueger's best memory of college was a modem mythology class at Wheaton College.

"This class was a mind-opener," he said, "in the way it approached God and religion -completely non-fundamental. What the course taught me is that if you' re too focused on the li teral things, it's like missing the forest for the trees. The result for me is that it made me

be said. " It was absolutely thrilling." I asked Krueger where be plans to be in

10 years. He responded, "I hope to sill be in Denver. I hope St. Martin's Chamber Choir is Denver's pre-eminent chamber choir. I hope that we start taking some tours."

One thing I found unique about Kruger is that he loves what he does.

"If I won the lottery tomorrow, I probably would continue to do what I do," he said. "I feel really fortunate about that. That is not something everybody can say. I think that is the secret to happiness in life: to somehow do what you love, or love what you do. "

Anti-war

by Joshua Lawton

An anti-war on Iraq protest and walk­out was held at the Auraria flagpole on Nov. 4. The protest included speakers, large signs, chanting and street theater.

This was the first protest organized by organizations and groups from all three Auraria schools.

"This is the first time that all three col­leges on campus have come together and organized a protest - not to mention a walk-out," said Metro student Tony Deland, who helped out in putting the protest togeth­er.

Deland said the way the schools worked together for the cause was great.

Speakers included University of Colorado political science professor Glenn Morris and Metro anthropology professor Rob Prince. Their message was one of peace and unity.

The crowd joined together in waving signs with messages like "War is the greatest form of terrorism," and chanting "One, two, three, four. We don't want your stinking war!"

"It was good to see the people out there voicing their opinion," said Dave Mason, protest attendee and Metro Political Science Association member. "I don't know how unpopular their opinion is."

Counseling center offers workshops by Roger Norquist

Everyone needs help and or support. Some need it more then others. That is why the Counseling Center exists, to give support and help to those who require it.

"'The staff and 1 try to help with students' problems that professors do not have the time to handle," stated Gail Bruce-Sanford. who is the director of the Counseling Center. '·Faculty are better able to focus on the ir academic responsi­bilities if students take advantage of profession­al therapists at the Counseling Center for their personal problems"'.

The Counseling Center staff currently con­sists of nine therapists who are trained to deal with adult students, both traditional and non-tra­ditional.

Language of hutnan rights by Ian Neligh

The Metropolitan

Everybody has the r ight to live their life with dignity, said Surina Khan Executive Director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC).

Surina Khan came to Auraria campus for the closing event of the GLBTSS awareness month, presenting her speech: Beyond Equality: Sexual Rights, Human Rights, and Transnational Organizing.

Born in Pakistan and growing up Muslim, Khan has been an activist in the les­bian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues since the early 90s and has been a progressive activist working for sexual rights for almost 15 years. Be fore joining IGLHRC, Khan was a research analys t at Political Research Associates, (PRA), a national progressive think-tank based in Massachusetts. At PRA, she was charged with monitoring and analyz­ing the U.S. political right as well as the e·x-

. gay movement in the U.S. and abroad. Her writing and research have been wide ly pub­lished, and she is a well-known speaker about the r ight's assault on LGBT people.

" It 's important to acknowledge that human rights violations based on sexual o ri­entat ion or expression or gender identity or HIV status happen in every country of the world including right here in the U.S.," said Khan. "In every region of the world rights are viola ted and governments remain silent or even declare that sexual orientation or expres­s ion is not a protected right and people who are identified as such don't deserve human rights protection."

by Danny Holland - The Metropolitan

Surina Khan speaks to 30-40 students on the behalf of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans Student Services on Oct. 30.

Khan said that the mission of their organ­ization is to secure the full enjoyment of human rights of all people and communities who are subject to discrimination or abuse on the basis of sexual orientation or expression gender identity or expression and or HIV sta­tus.

"We have documented countless cases of

human rights violations some of which include torture and torture is an extreme but very wide spread means for regulating sexual­ity and enforcing gender norms."

"We affect our mission primarily through advocacy, documentation, technical assis­tance, public education," said Khan. "One of

the main things that we do is to document human rights violations, documentation is a really important step in advocating for rights either at the local or international level."

" In working for sexual freedom, we feel that it is important to use a sexual rights frame work which acknowledges the many ways in which people are subject to human rights violations. Through laws and pract ices that might not explicitly mention a lesbian gay transsexual transgender identity but those laws are sti ll used to oppress people who may have those identities or may not."

Khan said that she believes in operating w ith in a sexual r ights fra mework, which enables her group to challenge oppression on its many fronts. broadening their possibilities for coalition work or for activist groups.

"At the international gay and lesbian human rights commission we approach our work form the principle poi nt of view that human righ ts are universal, they are ind ivisi­.ble they are inalienable and they are interre­lated." said Khan. "If the human rights ·of any g roup are neglected then the human rights of all people is unrealized.'.

Khan said that she feels that the language of human rights is a good organizing tool. " Language is about universality, its about dig­nity and its about integrity for all human beings," said Khan. "l want to effect initial­ized change and l think that the language of human rights gives us the opportunity to appeal to people's inherent sense of fai rness."

"When I think about the world that 1 want to live in, l don't think about trying to achieve equal rights I want inst itutiona l change," said Khan. "I think that there are institutions that we live among that really contribute to the discrimination that we face. institutions like the family, the church, our mosques our religions, legal institutions, these arc institutions that need to be changed."

" We know that rights don ' t begin at the

international level they begin with loca l prob­lems local lives with individuals who realize that their dignity has been injured," said Khan.

Khan said that the U.S and other interna­tional bodies condemn human rights viola­tions but they can ' t really enforce those con­demnations.

"The re are no global poli cemen patrolling for human rights," said Khan. "A few powerfu l countries like the U.S might try and set themselves up as some type of global detective, but usually this interest is only par­tial, and almost always politically motivated."

In the very few cases around the world where human rights violations exists the U.N or some of its member countries may agree to apply economic pressure to the violators, said Khan. "This happens rarely, and often times politics takes precedence over genuine con­cern for human rights."

"Even if we persuade human rights mech_an isms to take note of violations against LGBT people, what good will it really do? Well I think that it can do well and l think there is good cause to care," said Khan. "Sometimes the shaming effect works, gov­emments do worry about their international image sometimes they are easily embarrassed and unfavorable attention can actually push them to change their ways."

Khan said that she encourages act ivists to think about how much their government cares about its international reputat ion how much effect embarrassment would have on it, and what type of embarrassment is it most afraid of.

"The UN alone won't bring about change but it can be a megaphone for local activists to make change happen," said Khan. "Our work collectively has to be centered on rela­tionships with activists around the world. Here in the U.S. I th ink we have a lot to learn and much to gain from a transnational focus movement for social change."

Metro volleyball head coach Debbie Hendricks addresses the team during a time out during a 3-0 win against Colorado Mines Nov. 1.

Season title on the line by Eric Eames The Metropolitan

To a coin a phrase direct from the sportswriters Almanac of cliches, this weekend's road trip may be the most important back-to-back matches of the season for the I 0th-ranked Metro volleyball teaJn.

The race to win the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular-season crown and to host the RMAC Championship Tournament has come full tilt and down to Metro's (22-4 overall; 17-0 RMAC) final two regular season matches.

their season," Hendricks said. 'That is one of the things that makes this such a difficult trip. We are having to go to their home sites and we got recog­nize that they are going to be up for us and that we offer them a lot, we offer them an opportunity."

The Roadrunners are one up on UNI<, beating the Lopers in four games (30-19, 28-30, 30-25 and 30-27) at home back on Sept. 27. UNK has not lost a match since, rolling off 14 straight. Plus, they have won 15 straight home matches. Hendricks foresaw this weekend accumulating to the breaking point it has reached.

'It's about 2,000 people and they all hate you, so I love it.'

- Devon Herron, Metro volleyball junior setter

"I think this is very exciting," Metro head "You don't want to count your chickens before coach Debbie Hendricks said "It is one of the rea- they hatch," she said, "and you certainly have solid sons you play this game, for matches just like this." teams you have to play first, but I think both teams

tournament championship. ''That is not going to repeat this year," Metro "I think both teams look at us coming to them right side hitter Bonnie DeLaughter predicted.

and they know that we can make a difference for One thing that won't change is the herd of

UNK fans that will try to rattle the Roadrunners. The Lopers' average attendance is just over 1,000, the second best in Division Il volleyball. Metro, though, expects a crowd around 2,000 to show up. While Hendricks anticipates her team to feel some intentional butterflies, for most of the Roadrunners these are the times they thrive on.

"Some people are probably pretty nervous about it, but I love it," Metro setter Devon Herron said. "It's about 2,000 people and they all hate you, so I love it.It's going to be a great challenge for us and it's going to be a lot of fun. It's loud. The announcers are against us. The line judges are against us. The refs are against us. Every person there is against us."

Metro and Kearney are molded with similar, fast-paced offensive attacks designed to keep oppo­nents offbalance. They rank one-two in conference hitting percentage (UNK .292-Metro .25 1 ), assists per game (Metro 15.66-UNK 14.60) and kills per game (Metro 16.56-UNK 16.37).

Given their offensive mindset, both coaches expect defense to decide the match.

"I know that when we play a team with a cal­

iber of offense like Metro's, we know we are going to have to get some blocks and score on our serve and I'm sure they are looking at our offense the same way," UNK head coach Rick Squiers said.

While the Lopers have a better blocking aver­age (2.89-to-2.38), Metro has a more experienced starting lineup. UNK regularly starts three fresh­man, Metro starts just one, along with four juniors.

Who will win is anyone's guess. As they wont to say, it's up for grabs. Winner take all.

Women dance into the playoffs by Donald Smith 7he Metropolitan

With one game left and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season title on the line and with overtime wearing down every player on the field, Metro's Janelle Brandt kicked the ball from the top of the goalie box inside to a cutting Amy Leichliter who turned and fired. . . . In a moment that seemed like forever the ball carried into the air. Then, like a Nike commercial, everything began to

slow down. The fans halfway stood up as Leichliter's

eyes followed the ball 's spinning motion towards the top goal post. Metro women's soc­cer head coach Danny Sanchez, assistant coach Dave Morgan and the rest of the Metro bench clinched their fist together trying to compose themselves as they held back their emotions. Even the other team watched with great antici­pation as they saw the outstretched hands of Colorado Christian's goalie Lindsay McGowan come up empty. With Leichliter's RMAC-lead­ing 17th goal of the season the celebrating com­menced!

Everyone from the Roadrunners' bench ran

over to be part of the joy in a 1-0 overtime win against Colorado Christian Nov. 5. In winning its final three games, they become the first and only regular season champions in Metro women's soccer history

"It was a battle and like all year they fought through it together and got the result we need­ed," Sanchez said afterward.

The 9th-ranked Roadrunners came into the final three games two points (31-to-29) behind last year's RMAC Champions Regis for the best

Winning in a winter wonderland Roadrunners clinch title with three straight wins from PLAYING HOST on 11--------

record in the conference. Both teams won their weekend games (Nov.2-3) as Regis clung on to its two point lead, setting up a must-win game against Colorado Christian for the Roadrunners.

"Finish what you started in August," Morgan added. Having done just that, now Metro ( 16-2-2 overall; 12-

0-2 RMAC) looks to go deep into November as they defied all odds this season by doing something that's never been done before. Along with the regular season crown, the Roadrunners will get to host the RMAC Championship Tournament. Metro gets an automatic bye to the champi­onship game at I p.m. Nov. 9 and will face the winner of the Nov. 8 semifinal game between Southern Colorado (9-7-4; 6-5-3) and No. 24 Regis (15-3-1; 12-1-1).

On top of that, the Roadrunners are also ranked No. I in the Midwest Regional. If they come away with the RMAC Championship and hold on to that top ranking, Metro could also host the Midwest Regional tournament the following weekend, with the winner going to the NCAA Elite Eight.

In August, the Roadrunners were predicted to finish fourth in the conference, one spot out of playoffs, after fin­ishing dead last in conference play a year ago. But with senior leadership from team captain Brandt and Megan Sanders, Metro finished three spots better then predicted and now look forward to hosting the RMAC tournament.

The past weekend's winter fun started Oct. 29 when mother nature dropped snow all day and well into a night, enough to postpone Metro's Oct. 30 game against Colorado Christian until Nov. 5.

Both teams were indeed shivering in the freezing tem­peratures, but Brandt would shine some light on the game five minutes into the contest to give the Roadrunners a 1-0 lead ..

The game would remain the same until Melissa Miller (46th minute), Leichliter (52nd minute from Shivers) and Joslyn Brough (56th minute from Colleen Fellin) knocked three shots past the goalkeeper to take Metro into the half in front 4-l. But, they weren't done yet. With a little over 15 minutes left to play, Elin Otter converted a cross from Jodi McGaiii:i for the final goal of the game and a 5-l Roadrunner victory.

The following day Metro played against Adams State (7-11 -1 ; 2-1 1-1), a team who is new to the RMAC this sea­son. The Roadrunners would tame the Grizzlies early on in the game. Meisha Pyke took a pass from Miller to strike one home in the 27th minute for a 1-0 lead.

Then, Metro became a very rude host as they showed ' Adams the art of scoring goals in three quick minutes. Kristen Nason and Otter placed two of Brandt's free kicks into the back of the net. Then Brough took a beautiful pass from Louis Kjellquist and one-timed it past the goalie, giv-ing the Roadrunners a 4-0 lead going into the half.

Brandt would then have a "me" moment when she scored a goal in the 50th minute off a nice pass from McGann. To cap off the scoring, Leicbliter showed Adams what happens when bad defense is played. Taking a pass from goalie Beckee Flynn, the freshman went from coast­to-coast to score in the 8lst minute. The Grizzlies would get a late goal, but it didn't matter. The Roadrunners went on to win 7-l.

"It just proves to us that we're a good team and that we can play in any kind of situation," said Brough about the weather conditions.

by Joshua Buck- The Metropolitan /letro's Melissa Miller and New Mexico Hi$ihlands' Misty Fimple race to the ball during a game the Roadrunners won 5-1 Nov. 2. Miller recorded one goal.

When the weather didn't get better and the games needed to be played, the Roadrunners had to break out the gloves and bats on Nov. 2 to play on a field surrounded by snow against New Mexico Highlands (4-11-2; 2-10-2).

When asked about playing in the cold Mandy Allen answered, "COLD! It is part of the game."

And now with the Roadrunner's playing host, they will have a true advantage during the RMAC tournament being -able to play in cold weather on their home field.

Football? Soccer? Gillie prefers tlie "fOrmer Senior from Engl_~nd

adapted to Ameri·can style during career

by Rami Wilder The Metropolitan

A few years ago, in the town of Stoke-on-Trent in central Epgland, Jonathan Gillie was talking with bis friend Richard Payler over a pint of beer. Payler was back home while on break from school at Metropolitan State College ·of Denver where be played on the school's soccer team. He suggested that his friend come to the states to join him. _Gilli_e, who had spent the previous six years training to be an ac.countant decided to look into it.

Soon enough Gillie was a freshman midfielder on the Metro men's soccer team and busy adjusting to life in the United States. Calling the game.he has played bis whole life, soccer, instead of football as it is called by the rest of the world, was just one of the things he had to get used to.

"lt was unbelievably difficult." Gillie said. "[ would tell people I played football for Metro and they would look at me funny and tell me I looked_a .bit small to play football."

Today, the 5-foot 8-inch 25-year-old Gillie is· a senior majoring in finance, and has just finished bis final season on the Metro soccer team. He still follows bis favorite team back in England, Newcastle United; .but has picked up other more "American" bobbies like snowboarding, which be first tried last year.

On the soccer field, Gillie sometimes fee ls the pressure of being a foreigner. He believes players from outside the United States are viewed as being better than those within the borders, primarily because soccer is popular sport in England

"I think other teams look at it like that too," Gillie said "They see this Englishman so they think 'Oh be is going to be special.'"

Though he bas scored only two goals in bis career, spe­cial is the ex;act word head coach Brian Crookham would use to de$Cribe the senior midfielder.

"He is somebody you'd want if you bad to start building a team around a player," Crookham said. "He understands that it doesn't always have to be pretty, but you always have to battle and I think that is how he bas carried himself."

Fortunately, the poor performance of this year's team . (5-11-3 overall) hasn't taken away from the overall experi­ence of the past five years (redshirt in 1998), which includ­ed Metro's appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2000. Gillie credits bis time with the team for bringing out areas of his personality that he did not know existed.

"(Soccer) gives me more of a leadership role. I am a lot louder when it comes to soccer than I am in classroom situ­ations where I am bit more reserved," Gillie said. "I think if I hadn't come to Metro I wouldn't be as vocal as I am

· today .... (Soccer) teaches you to work hard. You have to be focus~d to succeed. I ' m not blessed with skill but I will work hard."

But Gillie 's devotion to the game is tempered by bis belief that sports should always be enjoyed, something that is· too often overlooked in America.

"The athletics in this country are too serious," Gillie said. "You need to know when you can ease up and have a bit of fun ."

"He 's knows a lot about the game," said fellow senior Jimmy Zanon, who came to Metro the same time Gillie did. "He is probably the smartest player on our team. He's a real leader out there and it's fun playing with him."

· Now that be is nearing the end of his time at Metro, Gillie is thinking about what he will do next. He remains close with bis family back in England, who he flies home to see at the end of every semester, and plans on moving clos­er to them. His older sister, Rebecca, and her growing fam­ily live 400 yards from where he grew up in Stoke-on-Trent.

"I ' ve been here long enough and it 's too far away from my family," he said. "But, it ' s been a great experience and I hope I have picked some things up along the way."

Wherever Gillie ends up be plans to continue playing soc­cer, even though he may have to start calling it football again.

by Joshua Lawton - The Metropolitan Johnathan Gillie runs to the bench after the pre-game coin toss. The game versus Colorado Mines on Nov. 3 was his laSt for Metro.

"Its all I've ever done since I've been able to walk," Gillie said. "I'd finish school and go kick the ball around. It's just the love of the game and I can't see it ending for a long while."

Defending conference champs get into the swing of things at home

by Eric Eames The Metropolitan

A compilation of Metro volleyball's greatest hits won't hit the shelves this political season, but several Roadrunners made convincing weekend campaigns in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference matches over the weekend as to who will get on the team's highlight reel.

Extending their win streak to 17 matches, the I Oth­ranked Roadrunners overcame slothful play to hammer Colorado Mines in straight games (30-23, 30-13 and 30-23) Nov. I and take out an much improved Chadron State College team (30-24, 32-30, 22-30 and 30-18) Nov. 2.

"We just kind of had a very apathetic week of practice and l think we carried that into the beginning of the match," said head coach Debbie Hendricks after the win against Mines. "I don't know what all is contributing to that right now, but it is certainly something we are addressing."

The Roadrunners (22-4 overall; 17-0 RMAC) came out mild­mannered against Mines (1 -25: 1-16) and quickly fell behind 3-7 and were down 19-20 when Hendricks called timeout.

"I felt like we didn't bring the right mentality out to the floor," she said. " ... We talk all the time about the things we can control and things we can't control. . .. l feel our mentality is something we control."

Still down 21-22, the Roadrunners staged a 9-1 blitz that ended the game. Senior outside hiner Nicki Fusco, compelled by her class status, stepped up her play to record 22 kills against the Orediggers.

"When we are playing flat like that from the start, and being a senior. I think it is your job to step up," Fusco said. "l think it is your duty to be there and to be that older person to go ahead and settle things down and get it on track .... We are struggling a linle bit. We need to focus on game-to-game and match-to-match right now. I' m not quite sure if we are doing that and I think we have a bad tendency right now, in that we start out real slow and I real­ly don't know why. If I knew why, I think it would change."

At points during the match against Chadron (11-14; 8-9), Metro hitters found spots on the floor that opened like an extra lane during rush hour traffic, especially in the decisive game when the Roadrunners out hit the Eagles .400-to-.063.

"lt was good to end on that note," senior Bonnie DeLaughter said, "because it will give us more confidence heading into next weekend." (See page 19 to learn more on Metro's last two regu­

lar season games)

---·-------

Once again, Fusco (23 kills, 18 digs) led the charge, while middle blockers Beth Vercic (18 kills) and Shawna Gilbert (13) hit double ctigits in kills. DeLaughter and Jessy Roy each added 11 kills of their own.

Setter Devon Herron continues to put up impressive numbers. She recorded a season-high 71 assists against the Eagles and averaged a stag­gering 16.57 assists per game in the two matches.

Often obscured from the limelight is back row libero Andrea Highstreet, who played phenome­nally against Chadron, recording a career-high 23 digs. She was all over the court making diving, lunging and one handed digs to keep Metro alive.

"She brings that energy and we just know she is going to get the job done," Delaughter said of Highstreet. "She is not going to watch a ball hit the floor. She is all out."

Metro likes to start each game the same way, all out, swarming foes like "a big hornet's nest,'' Fusco said, adding, "we always want to win the first five points of the game."

Metro didn't exactly accomplish the latter. But they did take the first game quite easily against Chadron and were able to stave off the Eagles in the second.

By the third game, though, the Eagles pilfered the momentum by playing tough defense, stealing points off long rallies and out working the Roadrunners.

"(Chadron) absolutely had a mentality that nothing was going to hit on their side of the floor," Hendricks said. "They had two or three bodies at any given time diving to the floor."

While Hendricks agreed to a point that the Roadrunners did get outworked, Herron shook her head No at the suggestion.

"l thought we worked just as hard as they did," the junior said. "The only thing ctifferent was they were getting a bit lucky, because they were winning a lot of points just off stupid plays ... We let our errors beat us. That was pretty much it."

The biggest "Ohhs" from the crowd came when Gilbert drove the ball down so hard it landed with a loud SPLAT and seemed to deflate and whimper on the ricochet. Vercic and Fusco also got into the act, driving the ball through the Eagles heretofore pesky defense.

"This was a great match for us and a great test for us at this point in time as we head into the last weekend of the regular season and into the con­ference tournament," Hendricks said. "We needed to be tested a little bit and they did us a big favor by being solid on defense."

FALL, 2002

NOVEMBER 7, 2002 - THE METROPOLITAN - PAGE 23

Sour end for men by Rami Wilder The Metropolitan

Somewhere between its heartfelt beginning and almost laughable ending the Metro men's soc­cer team (5-11-3 overall, 1-9-2 RMAC) lost its final game of the season 4-0 against I 9th-ranked Colorado Mines Nov. 3.

Before the game, Metro took a moment to honor four seniors-Jimmy Zanon, Domonic Duran, Roberto Nuanes and Jonathan Gillie-­who played in their final game. Nuanes, who has been unable to play much of the season due to heart problems, started the game at midfield.

"We got him on the field and got one run in and got him off to make sure he had one last taste of the field," head coach Brian Crookham said.

With snow piled high around the edge of the field, the game started with a quick pace and pass­ing that was as crisp as the day's weather. By the end of the game the pretty ball work changed to more physical play.

The Orediggers kept the ball on the Roadrunners side of the field for most of the first half. Metro goalie Zach Franklin tapped a danger­ous free kick just over the top of the goal in the 20th minute. But on the ensuing corner kick Metro was unable to clear the ball before midfielder James Trask scored for Mines.

The second half started with physical play. Remonstrations directed at the officials came from coaches on both sides after a string of missed or phantom calls. While sideline voices grew louder, the players on the field remained focused.

A poor clearance, though, at Metro's end resulted in a comer kick for Mines. Once again the Roadrunners couldn't clear as the comer kick dropped in front of the goal and Eric Talburt scored for Mines. Five minutes later Trask scored his second goal for a 3-0 Orediggers' lead.

season, should have ticked by quickly but the physical play and the referees ' attempts to regain ~

control of the game brought it to a screeching halt A foul in Metro's penalty box resulted in a red

card ejection of Roadrunner Chad Pearson, and a fourth goal for Mines off the penalty kick.

The referee was still fighting for control with just over a minute left when he stopped play and started ejecting Metro bench players from the Auraria Field. Fans seated near the Metro bench were initially told to leave, but head referee Ben Chouaf allowed play to resume without enforcing that declaration. When the game ended, both teams were shaking their heads in wonderment.

"I've got players on the bench abusing me and they can't do that in any NCAA (rule) book," Chouaf said "The coach has to take care of that and he didn't want to, so I had to take care of it."

Despite the loss, Metro senior Jimmy Zanon was pleased with the team's performance.

"We didn't play all that bad," Zanon said. "We just couldn't get the breaks. They got a couple lucky goals on balls that just dropped in the box and we couldn't get a foot on them."

Overall, the loss to Mines was not very signif­icant for Metro. The real story of the day was that Metro's season was over and by all accounts this year's performance fell well below expectations.

"It's been a disappointment," Crookham said "We started our season with a lot more talent than our record would show. We had some bad breaks but we've got to make sure that those excuses don't become bad habits for us. We still had opportunities to win games that we didn't win, so all those excuses that we have aren't good enough. We still got to find ways to win."

Looking ahead, Metro has reason to be opti­mistic in 2003. Senior goalkeeper Eric Butler will
