Dave Flomberg Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

Aurora police are continuing their search for a Metro student who has been missing since Aug. 10.

Jennifer "Jenny" Sue Larsen, 21, was last seen leaving a friend's house at 3:00 a.m., according to Mark Hellenschmidt, public information officer for the Aurora police department. ~

"Right now we're at ground zero," he said. Hellenschmidt said Aurora police are seeking media assistance because Larsen hasn't tried to contact her family, co-workers or anyone.

The detective assigned to the case,

Dan Dailey, said nothing has been ruled out yet, as he is still in the beginning stages of the investigation.

Police said they found Larsen's car, a red 1995 Toyota Tercel coupe, in the parking lot of an apartment complex at the 400 block of South Memphis Street in Aurora on Aug. 20.

and long brown hair. According to her father, Earl Larsen, she was last seen wearing blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a beige t­shirt.

Police are not releasing much information until they develop a stronger lead in the case.

The police found her shoes, socks, and a set of keys on the floor of the car.

Larsen Her father said he

believes there has been foul play.

Dailey said he is still waiting for lab results of evidence taken from the car.

Larsen is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 125 pounds, has hazel eyes

Larsen said when he went to his daughter's condo Aug. 20, her two cats were out of food and water.

"It's not characteristic of her to aban­don her cats like that," he said. "All of her

clothes were still in the closet." Larsen began taking classes at Metro

in January. Her father said although his daughter

is interested in biology, she has not yet declared a major.

"She was just taking mostly general education requirements," be said.

Larsen was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and moved here halfway through high school. She graduated from Overland High School in 1992.

Police are asking anyone with any information regarding her disappearance, or anyone who has seen her or her car in the last two weeks to contact the Aurora Major Crimes Unit Tip Line at 341-8523.

The latest deficit reduction plan for the Auxiliary Services budgets states stu­dents won't have to pay more to cover the deficit. The budgets were approved Monday.

The Auxiliary Services Budgets cover the financial standings of service providing institutions such as the Auraria Book Center, the Tivoli Student Union and the Auraria Child Care Center.

The reduction plan states the services _ and programs budgets for these three will

be cut by more than $400,000. Administrative costs in the same

three areas will be reduced by almost $240,000.

These service budgets, along with other Auxiliary budgets are part of the Student Bond Fund Budget. Deadline for approval is June 31 of each fiscal year.

The Auraria Board of Directors passed the Student Facilities Bond Fund Budget - after 't':"'o months of haggling over ways to get rid of the $640,000 short­fall.

"I think this is proof that we can work positively and effectively toward a com­mon goal," said a relieved Dean Wolf,

interim executive vice president for administration of Auraria.

Wolf presented the revised Auxiliary Services budgets to the board members.

A closer look at the deficit reduction plan reveals substantial cuts despite offi­cials' assurance that none of the services provided to students will be severely limited.

In the Tivoli Student Union cuts in

"Downsizing has been tough for us," said Weiske, who is losing her secretary in the reorganization, "but we are trying hard to place these people in other positions."

The Auraria Book Center also will offer students fewer services. A telephone text line, designed to inform students in

search of their text­books, will be eliminated, stu­dents will wait

programs and ser­vices freeze all capi-tal expenditures for at least a year.

care center will no longer operate the Evening Child Care Program which pro­vides child care from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. About five students are taking advantage of that service.

"We can't make everybody happy," said Wolf to the members of the board, "But I think we have reached a compro­mise that we all can live with for at least a year."

The initial Student Bond Fund Budget, presented to the board in June, proposed covering it.s. $640,000 deficit with money from the Bond Fund Reserves. The board rejected the budget and asked Auraria officials, the chief financial officers for the Auraria colleges and student representatives to come back with a deficit reduction plan.

Those responsible for the reductions were asked to balance the budget without increasing students' fees, reducing basic public safety or neglecting maintenance of buildings on campus.

After Monday's vote, several mem­bers of the board congratulated all involved on the deficit reduction plan.

"I' m. impressed how everybody rolled up their sleeves and went back to make the necessary cuts," said board member Cole Finnegan.

Metro looks at diversity Affirmative Action question sparks heated debate

Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

What if professors at Metro taught to the indi­vidual instead of to the group? That was the princi­ple thought behind the Leadership Through Diversity conference held at Metro Aug. 16 and 17.

Diversity is relative to skill level, James Anderson told an audience of mostly faculty and administrators at the conference.

Anderson, the dean of the division of undergrad­uate studies at North Carolina State University, said that allowing students to take classes for which they are not prepared is failing them.

"We really aren't walk­ing the talk yet as institu­tions," he said.

Tom Tancredo, president of the Independence Institute, a Golden-based think-tank, called the envi­ronment hostile.

He argued for the end of Affirmative Action. "It is a program that rewards individuals by giv­

ing them special treatment based on the color of their skin and that is racism," Tancredo said.

He agrees that safeguards should be in place to eliminate discrimination but said the Affirmative Action program has been perverted.

Joseph Sandoval, professor of criminal justice at Metro also participated on the panel but said that he

was becoming ambivalent toward Affirmative Action because he is not

sure that it has done Latinos any good.

He said Affirmative Action

and white women to be globally literate.'

could be used as a ceiling. Once employers have hired a set num­ber of minorities, they could stop hiring them.

The two sides of the discus­sion had areas of agreement and he said he would like to explore that further. Throughout the confer­

ence Anderson made it clear ''There are certain areas of that diversity includes all students.

"No one said we only want people of color and

commonalty it seems and where - James Anderson they diverge is a bit uncertain,"

white women to be globally literate," Anderson said.

Although there are many types of diversity, Anderson said it is the institution's decision as to what dimensions of the definition it wants to focus on.

He said a diverse college campus is one where students can communicate with people who are dif­ferent from them and the faculty is much more attuned to all students.

Charles Branch, director of the Academy for Teaching Excellence at Metro agrees with Anderson.

'The easiest way to define diversity in higher education is meeting ·the diverse needs of all our stu­dents," he said.

Panel discussions with faculty, students and administrators were another part of the conference. Topics ranged from Affirmative Action to institution­al racism.

Sparks flew in the Affirmative Action discussion as opposite camps attacked each other's positions.

Sandoval said. Some participants thought

the conference was great but the)llhad reservations on how to

change what they learned into reality. "We need more listening to each

other and exchanging ideas and really hearing what other group have to say," said Annette McElhiney, professor of English and Women's Studies. She said this is hard to do this at Metro because everyone that works and goes to class here is so busy.

Metro Provost Sharon Siverts ended the confer­ence with a promise and thanks to all the people who helped put it together.

"Believe me this work will be utilized by the task committee," Siverts said.

Approximately 300 faculty, administrators and a smattering of students showed up for the conference. The conference consisted of workshops, panel dis-cussions and general sessions with Anderson. Jenny SPllrb !The METROPOLITAN

Metro president delivers State of the College . Address Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Metro President Sheila Kaplan took note of having a full administrative staff in place during her State of the College Address saying, "I am for the first time playing with a full deck."

Kaplan rattled off her accomplishments and goals for Metro to an audience of faculty and administrators Aug. 23.

AUGUST 25. 1995 Th~ METROPOLITAN 5

She unveiled her plans to create three task force committees to accomplish her goal to recruit, retain and graduate a highly diverse stu­dent population.

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

SETTING THE COURSE: President Kaplan announces task force committees dedicated to enhance diversity and technology at convocation address on Aug. 23 at Tivoli Student Union.

The committees are, Cultural Diversity, Enrollment Management and Structural Technology.

"This challenge is unfortunately compounded by a changing public mood that reflects a disquieting intoler­ance of people who are different and is manifested by the rising tide of hostility, homophobia and of xenophobia," Kaplan said.

She will form a task force to move Metro in the direction of technology because we are lagging behind in preparing students and faculty for a work environment where computer technology is necessary, she said.

"Committees will have outcomel! at Metro," Kaplan said.

Kaplan addressed the professor's equity-parity

deficit of $600,000 by saying she would try to find the money to fund the deficit.

Also at the event, Safa Suleiman, president of Metro's Student Government Assembly, welcomed the faculty and staff and made a promise that Metro student's voices would be heard.

"We will work to empower students as never seen before," Suleiman said, bringing a round of laughter from the audience.

Suleiman said she is excited to see how things will transpire during the year.

English Professor, Charles Allbee and Art Department Chair, Susan Josepher won the faculty Distinguished Service Awards that were presented at the

conference. Beverly Forrester, personnel analyst in Letters Arts

and Sciences won the classified employee Distinguished Service Award.

Emeritus and Golden Key Awards were also deliv­ered at the convocation.

Kaplan closed her address by recalling the AMC Theater expansion plan that fell apart.

"I think it was a key moment in the history of this college. Together all of us spoke with one voice on behalf of Metro, on behalf of our determination to preserve the integrity of this campus and the quality of our academic program," she said.

Tivoli Student Union gets marketing coordinator Kristy Frei

The METROPOLITAN A new position designed to bring more foot traffic

and business to the Tivoli Student Union has been creat­ed.

After months of searching and many interviews, 33-year-old Sandy Torres was chosen as the director of Marketing for the Tivoli.

''The goal for a marketing director is for everyone to know we are here," said Dave Caldwell, lease manager for the Tivoli. "We want Sandy to utilize her skills and abilities to put together a marketing plan for the Tivoli."

A portion of rent from the Tivoli shop-owners pays back the bond that funded the renovation and purchase of the Tivoli. The AMC theaters draws non-student crowds on weekends, evenings and school breaks.

Philip Bustos, division director of Student Services said the Tivoli needs art increase in student traffic for the merchants to boost their business.

Torres has extensive background in public relations, marketing and journalism. She has a degree in mass com­munication with an emphasis on public relations from the University of Southern Colorado. She also has a degree in Spanish from University of Colorado-Denver and is pursuing a master's degree.

Torres said she has background in everything that will make her new job go smoothly. "I have worked with

the state ten years before receiving this job," she said. Having been the associate editor of the Denver

weekly, La Voz News, a bilingual newspaper, and a pub­lic relations manager for the Colorado Tourism Board as well as public relations manager for the Colorado Lottery.

Torres said she sees herself producing a marketing plan for the Tivoli, researching the campus, coordinating special events and working with the Chamber of Commerce; all to enhance business for the Tivoli.

In her new position Torres will be making a salary of $28-30,000 a year. The marketing director job description states the position is responsible for ongoing marketing and advertising plans that will increase sales for the Tivoli. It also states various public relations and promo­tional activities to enhance user experience and attract new clientele.

Debbie Arseneau, an owner of The Daily Grind cof­feehouse in the Tivoli, said she is behind the new position 100 percent.

"A marketing director will be able to take some of the responsibility off of us for advertising," Arseneau said.

"I am here and would like to offer myself to the pub­lic and will listen to what they have to say," Torres said.

"I like to think that my door will always be open," she said.

Graphic Design by Chris Mancuso

Metro's Grade Review Committee is working through its fifth draft of a new grade appeal procedure and have only now begun to get student input.

Charlie Allbee, chairman of the committee for the last two years, says any student input is too much student input.

Allbee said he wrote the first draft of the new procedure, which was in turn revised by Jett Conner, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, who then passed it on to Scot Silzer, a Metro attorney. Silzer made the final revisions, and sent it back to Allbee.

"Originally, the Grade Review Committee was concerned about some of the proce­dures," Allbee said. "I drafted a few amendments to the materials." Those amendments are awaiting review by the Faculty Senate.

If the Faculty Senate approves, the committee will be able to adopt the new proce­dure. However, Allbee said, "It isn't clear what the procedure for adoption is."

As late as the fourth draft, Student Government Assembly President Safa Suleiman said she and other assembly members were incensed by the lack of student involvement in what was such a student-oriented issue.

"I'm deeply distressed by this," she said. They will be attending the next Faculty Senate meeting to voice their concerns with

the way the process has been handled. She said she hoped the student government's presence at the meeting will have a

productive effect, perhaps even getting a student presence on the committee.

One student says the grade change policx is a students'

rights issue and can't believe the administration would have the audacity to ,

state otherwise.

According to Allbee, those voices have no place in the proceedings.

'This is a faculty policy, instituted by the faculty," Allbee said. "It involves only faculty rights and liabilities." He said it is not appropriate for students to share the responsibilities that come with involvement in either the procedure review process or the committee itself.

Silzer, however, doesn't share Allbee's views. After the fourth draft was completed, he said he spoke with assem­bly members and liked what he heard.

"They made some great sugges­tions," he said. "That input is valuable." Silzer said he was even able to include some of those suggestions in the fifth draft, which he is revising.

"Most of the changes have been small things, editorial things," Silzer said. "The major thing I changed was dropping the clause requiring the dean's approval for grade changes involving mathematical or administrative error, which is an issue the students raised."

Suleiman said once she and other assembly members met with Silzer, things took a tum for the better.

Suleiman said information that Chief Justice Pete Rutt gave her suggest­ed "things went fantastic." She met with Eugene Saxe, president of the Faculty Senate, to discuss her concerns about the lack of student involvement up to this point.

"He was very congenial in his understanding that student input is need­ed," she said.

Not according to Allbee. "My concern is that only faculty can

change the grade." Allbee said. "From . that perspective, I don't see why students should be involved. That presents the view that the faculty are incapable of responding to the due process rights of students, which is a view I don't share."

The view he does share, however, seems to be unpopular with the students.

'This is entirely a student's rights issue," said Chris Baur, second year Metro student. "I can't believe the administration would have the audacity to state otherwise."

Kevin Jackson, Metro sophomore, shared a similar view.

''The way the policy stands now, the

student has the option of being screwed by the teacher or the chair or the dean!" he said. "Some choice! Then, even if the committee says the student is right, he still gets screwed! Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that?"

Under the current grade appeal poli­cy, a student unhappy with a grade should first speak with the professor. If they are unable to reach a compromise, the student may start the grade appeal process.

The process must be started within two weeks of the semester after the class was taken.

The student must then speak with the professor again. If the professor still won't change the grade, the student must · appeal to the department chair. If the pro­fessor still can't get the grade changed, the issue is moved to the dean.

The final step in the process, assum­ing the first three have failed, is to go before the grade review committee. They will review all documentation and arrange a meeting with the student and the professor. After hearing both sides, the committee will make a ruling.

If they rule in favor of the professor, the grade will stand.

If they rule in favor of the student, the professor is given one more chance to change the grade.

A ruling in favor of the student does not guarantee the grade change. Nobody except the professor has the power to change the grade. If the professor wants to leave the grade the way it is, the stu­dent may either take a "no credit" or let the grade stand. That person is then allowed to retake the course and have the cost of the class waived.

At no time during the procedure is anyone allowed to appear with legal counsel.

The proposed changes include allowing the committee to change a grade received through an administrative or mathematical error, and removing the recording of minutes from the dean meeting, because they would be "too for­mal, and legalistic ... additional work not warranted," according to the draft.

The Metro Faculty senate will meet Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Tivoli to dis­cuss the new appeal procedure.

Some of you might be asking, "How do I get involved in SGA ?" First and foremost, you as individuals are powerful enough to make change. To make change more fruit­ful and more meaningful to ALL Metro stu­dents, your involvement may be on com­mittees in various

issues such as Peace, AIDS, and Diversity. I would like to highlight some of the

major issues that our vice presidents are working on:

• Lisa Scott, your VP of Student Services, would like to accomplish the fol­lowing items this year, student empower­ment through advocacy, securing an infor-

mation booth to areas of the school in which student repre­sentation is vital, or official vacancies such as what we have now with our vice­president of Campus Communications, or just simply your opin­ion on how we're doing our job for you.

The 1995-96 student government is com­mitted to ensuring that the voice of

Metro students is heard by the admin­

istration, faculty, staff, Auraria and other governing

entities.

had a direct impact on students. As some of you probably know the AMC Theaters were about to expand on our historic campus property. With the mobilization of our administration, Denver citizens, campus and community organiza­tions, and most of all, students, the deal was shot down.

Also, we were and still are preparing for events that are in sync to serious social

• Mel Munoz, your VP of Diversity, is going to be a driving force in better serving students by focusing on the creation of the new Multicultural Center in the Tivoli.

• Rodney Lebsock, your VP of Administration and Finance, and Almeta Corbin, your VP of Student Fees, are serv-

ing you by worki_ng on improving the Tuitjon Deferral Program.

• Ky Lee is your VP of Academic Affairs advocating a strong pro-student stand on academic issues affecting stu­dents.

• James Mueller, your Board of Trustees Representative, is concentrating his efforts to serve students at the state trustees level.

Amy Haimerl and Ajayi Hartis are your SACAB representatives serving your inter­ests to the Auraria Board of Directors.

At this time, I would like to extend a warm invitation to you and to further urge you to get involved and attend our SGA meetings. These meetings are held every Thursday at 3:30, locations of the meetings are posted on the window of our suite office, Tivoli 307.

Look in upcoming issues of The Metropofitan to learn more about your rep­resentatives. Remember, anyone interest­ed in the vacant paid position of Vice­President of Campus Communications should come to nvoli 307 and pickup an application. Deadline for submitting appli­cations is Aug. 31.

To all of you, have a wonderful semes­ter and I look forward to serving and work­ing with you.

AUGUST 25. 1995 The METROPOLITAN 11

Toying with tuition Metro administration needs to be honest with students

I was very con­cerned by the bill I received for the fall semester. There is a substantial differ­ence between the amount that Metro

Louis A. Landa is billing me and the amount listed in the

fall class schedule. My bill is $70 higher than I expected.

Have you noticed a difference? If not, I suggest you take another look at your bill. You might be surprised.

Metro printed the fall schedule in February to help students plan their time and finances. The only problem is that between the initial printing and the beginning of the fall semester, tuition increased and students approved a $15.41 RTD bus pass fee, neither of which appear in the Tuition & Mandatory Fee Box located on page 17 of the fall schedule.

I don't know about you, but $70 is a fair chunk of change. And if the whole idea of printing schedules early was to help students plan, I think it would be fairly important to tell students about these changes.

The college reprinted the fall sched­ules in August, months after the tuition and fee changes were final. Much to my surprise the same figures appeared in the second printing.

Metro officials say they did not have enough time or money to make the changes. The second printing was a "rush job."

So, how do you find out about this increase in tuition and fees. You can wait for your bill or you can go to Central

Classroom 110 and ask for an updated Tuition and Fees Schedule (or look down about six inches). The crazy thing about going to CN 110 is you have to ask for the revised tuition scale. This information is not offered, there is no sign telling you about this change. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

It could be that Metro administrators feel you should already know about this tuition increase. If you happen to read press releases coming from their Office of College Propaganda, you approved it!

In a July 6, press release titled:

"IN RARE MOVE, STUDENTS OK MORE $$$, Metro Students Approve Tuition Increase"

The college promotes that the 1994-95 Metro Student Government Assembly supported the special 4 percent tuition increase.

Unfortunately, the press release does not mention that no official vote was taken by the student government and that a caveat was written into the student government resolution.

MSCD's SGA hereby approves the proposed tuition increase as specified ••• on March 1, 1995 and requests that any changes to the proposed tuition increase will not be considered to be approved by SGA until SGA is notified of those changes.

Former student government President Megan Reyes emphatically denies being informed of any changes. She also said the student government

was pressured into making a quick deci­sion regarding the tuition increase.

Reyes said the increase that was finally approved is not the same as the one presented to student government in March. She said the school should send out another press release clearing this matter.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said she thinks the student government was notified of the changes and admitted there could be some confusion over the matter.

Despite this acknowledgement, Kaplan continues to milk this decision by a few students. During her address to the college Wednesday she milked it some more. She probably felt safe since stu­dents, as a whole, were not invited to her annual State of the College speech.

On July 26, the school issued anoth­er press release highlighting the student support for the tuition increase. Both press releases include this quote from Joan Foster, then interim provost of Metro:

"I'm proud that our students had the confidence in our faculty and admini~tra­tion to support us in this endeavor.".

I just wonder how many students Ms. Foster personally asked about the tuition increase.

Confidence in our administration? The same people who bend the truth regarding student support of a tuition increase? The same people who print one tuition and fees scale, then charge another?

Yeah, I have confidence in our administration, but not in the way Ms. Foster thinks.

Co0101unication breakdown Two-character play, Oleanna, chilling story of the importance of words Louis A. Landa The METROPOLITAN

I t is chilling to sit in a theater and watch a story unfold that is strik­ingly similar to events that occurred on this campus.

A female student has difficulty under­standing a professor's lectures. She finds them confusing and offensive. She gains the help of a faceless group of supporters and together they conspire to end the career of the professor. They use his own words to do it.

Oleanna, now on stage at the Denver Civic Theater, examines the dangers of miscommunication and misinterpretation in today's society. Can students or teachers learn if neither is willing to approach learning with an open mind? Can we learn if we are too busy listening to ourselves? Can we learn if we hear only bits and pieces of what another person is saying?

Playwright David Mamet captures the precarious state of modem communica­tion: say anything you want as long as you say it the way I want to hear it.

Carol (Catherine E. Worster) is a meek college student struggling to under­stand her class. She jitters through a meet­ing with her professor, constantly scrib­bling notes on her tattered note pad in a vain attempt to understand.

John (Jon D. McNally) is the profes­sor who reaches out and fashions an open attempt to help Carol. He describes the flaws in higher education and simultane­ously exposes his weakness. He is preoc­cupied with receiving tenure. His phone pulses constant interruptions to the exchange between he and Carol, exacer­bating their rift in communication.

In the different worlds of student and teacher, each has a du!y to.look at life from the other person's perspective. Oleanna demonstrates the consequences of what happens when we do not. It also highlights the importance of the words we use and the actions we make.

In Act I, John tries to understand Carol's difficulties. They talk about the subject (which ironically is education), and she wants to understand. She uses her note pad like a crutch, while John tries to

It's

free her from it. "Tell me in your own words," he says.

She is petrified by the idea. Carol breaks down from the stress of

the situation and John holds her in an inno­cent act of comfort. But was it innocent? This is a maddening question in the play. Whose view of a situation is most accurate and true? You see, Carol did not find the embrace so innocent. As the overworked expression goes: "perception is reality." And if Carol's reality was different from John's, does that excuse him?

The premise is set for two following acts, where John is pressured as if strapped to the rack with the wheel notch­ing him closer to his breaking point. Controlling the wheel is Carol and her "group," who desire the power previously enjoyed by the college administration and faculty. That power is control over how and what is said in the classroom.

This is one of the frightening mes­sages of Oleanna. The idea that groups can control curriculum. John tells ~arol that his job is to provoke her and awaken her interest. But Carol and her group do not agree.

In the end John is like a snake eating his tail. Each time he opens his mouth he only further destroys himself. Once accused, guilty or not, can someone---cever revert to their life prior to the accusation? The action knocks at the senses like a bro­ken metronome.

Worster and McNally are brilliant. The challenges of a two character play are intimidating, but neither actors show any sign of distraction. These performances border on perfection. · The seasoned McNally never overpowers Worster. This is a tribute to pure ensemble acting.

Worster's metamorphosis from a timid and confused student to a confidant dominating figure is breathtaking.

McNally descends into a subtle mad­ness as the nature of John's situation becomes more desperate.

Director Thomas P. McNally stages the show like live chess pieces, positioning them in offensive and defensive poses. The contrasting positions of dominance between the characters are mirrored by their varying positions on stage.

The ultimate warning of Oleanna is that words can sometimes be used as tools to control you, and the barriers we erect are the origins of miscommunication.

How true.

Students unlock space secrets Take cosmic trek, travel celestial avenues in Rockets and Stars class Robert Arrieta The METROPOLITAN

I magine unlocking the secrets of space. Imagine being able to explore the far reaches of the solar system and beyond. In a new Metro class you can.

On this fantastic voyage you will be guided by some of the top space specialists in the country. Experts from NASA, Ball Aerospace, and Martin Marietta will be the conductors of this shuttle through the stars.

Students will not only be traveling celestial avenues, they'll also be earning three upper-level Natural Science credits.

The new course, Rockets and Stars-A Space Trek­MET 355, is being offered through the Mechanical Engineering Technology department but will satisfy sci­ence-credit requirements. The course was taught by Professor Howard Paynter once in 1986 and was revived this semester. Paynter said he thinks the course has the potential to intrigue a lot of students.

The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:55 p.m. to 8:10 p.m. and several trips to Gates Planetarium and the Denver Museum of Natural History are scheduled.

The trips will include not only lectures and light presentations, but behind the scenes looks at how differ­ent aspects of space are recreated on earth.

Paynter said he doesn't want the class to just be a lecture course, but instead wants every class to be a pre­sentation.

While it may seem like a very showy and costly

production, the class was built around a very tight budget. "You've got to do innovative thinking to get quality

lecturers that will bring in students," Paynter said. Paynter is planning to have old colleagues and

friends he made while working for industry giants such as General Dynamics and Martin Marietta come in as guest speakers.

' 'When you have speakers who are experts in their field, they enjoy giving the lecture and the students get

l

more out of it," Paynter said.

BEAM ME UP HOWARD: Professor Howard Paynter entertains and educates students while revealing the cosmic sights of the universe, in his class Rockets and Stars-A Space Trek.

John Swift The METROPOLITAN

Whether the class flies like a comet or crashes like a meteor will be determined by enrollment which right now is at a low 16 students.

Yet Paynter remains optimistic about the course. "If we can get the word out there, the class will take

off," Paynter said.

Barker's back with guts, gore Kevin Juhasz The METROPOLITAN

C live Barker is back in the direc­tor's chair with another collec­tion of dark, gory, I-don't-want­to-see-this-but-1-can 't-resist

moments in his latest movie Lord of Illusions.

The screenplay, written by Barker, is based on his short story "The Last Illusion." Illusions is a great horror movie sure to tum stomachs and please fans of this genre.

The movie starts out in 1982. A run­down house is the home of a group of fanatics following a man by the name of Nix (Daniel Von Bargen). Nix possesses the power to juggle fire and affect the minds of people so they don't know what is real and what isn't. He's angry because Swann (Kevin J. O'Conner), whom he had hoped to train as his protege, has left the fold. Nix kidnaps a 12-year-old girl to lure Swann back. This turns out to be a fatal mistake, because it brings about a rather gruesome death for Nix.

Nix's death seems a bit pedestrian for Barker. He receives a series of gunshots to the body. But just before he loses con­sciousness, Swann slaps on a series of metal contraptions that cover Nix's entire face. The bolts that hold it in place dig deep in the skull, and naturally, you get to

hear every one of Nix's screams of pain and misery.

The movie then fast forwards 12 years later to Harry D' Amour (Scott Bakula). He's a private eye, exhausted from a previ­ous assignment that involved the exorcis­ing of a demon from a child. He is sent to Los Angeles by a friend to track a man sus­pected of insurance fraud. D' Amour fol­lows the suspect to a palm reader and finds himself knee-deep in every bizarre thing Barker could imagine for this film.

D' Amour encounters Butterfield (Barry Del Sherman), Nix's right-hand man who fled the compound when Nix was murdered. Butterfield plans to resurrect Nix. This will allow Nix to avenge his own death and continue leading his flock of believers.

The movie has a little bit of every­thing. Murder, magic, cults, and more. It's all done in pure Barker style, too. Almost everyone in the movie dies a gruesome death, but that's to be expected in a Clive Barker flick. If the blood doesn't flow, and doesn't flow in the most unusual way, what's the use of watching?

Death after death is played out in sim­ilar fashion. This is definitely not a movie for the queasy. Fans of Clive Barker films wil1 love it though. It's more in tune with the darkness of Hellraiser.

Most of the actors do a fantastic job. Bakula is interesting and convincing as

D' Amour. He's not bad, but at the same time, he doesn't leap out of the screen and grab your attention like Del Sherman and Von Bargen.

Von Bargen's time on the screen is brief, but powerful. He does a good job playing a heartless resurrected being,

. pissed off at the world for what happened to him.

The performance that stands out most is Del Sherman as Butterfield. He has spent the 13 years since fleeing, designing a rather odd collection of tools designed to free Nix. He has also taken the time to come up with some insanely cruel and gory ways to kill and torture people, which are demonstrated throughout the movie. He gives a captivating performance as a lost soul desperate to bring things back to the way they ,were.

Famke Janssen has little impact as Swann's wife, but she is good for tying up plot threads. She hires D' Amour, he falls in love with her, he gets drawn deeper into the case because of her, but her perfor­mance is borderline boring and lacks any feeling.

The real star of the movie is the mind of Clive Barker. His ability to hypnotize you into watching a collection of bizarre and frightening events is full throttle for Lorti of Illusions.

BIG-SCREEN LEAP: Scott Bakula plays Harry D' Amour, an exhausted private eye, who gets tangled up in the bizarre, frightening plot of director Clive Barker's newest film, Lord of Illusions.

Students with ·disabilities get new computer center Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN.

T he first day of the Fall 1995 semester kicked off a new com­puter access center for Metro and University of Colorado-Denver

students. Eight computers for students with disabilities are now available in the library.

Heading up the operation is Joe Zibrick, instructor and coordinator of the Combined Computer AccPss Centers. Zibrick said he wanted a place where the disabled could learn on computers and feel comfortable knowing the lab is just for them.

After many meetings and a lot of coercing, Zibrick landed an Entitlement Grant from the Colorado Disabilities Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to open the new lab. Metro and UCD are also funding a part of the project.

The 21-inch monitors, six of which are IBM and two that are Macintosh, visu­ally and vocally help students learn.

All the computers' have standard pro­grams but other programs are added that will allow learning to come naturally for students.

The "inLarge" program, on Macintosh, gives the screen magnification on all or part of the computer screen.

The "MasterTouch" program, a speech synthesizer system allows visually impaired students to hear rather than see the computer screen.

The "OutSpoken" program, also designed to help the visually impaired, allows students to navigate Macintosh and Windows programs, giving them instruc­tions and guidance.

ten work. "SoundProof," a speech synthesizer

system that reads text on the screen by let­ter, word, line or paragraph is available on IBM, and a similar program is on Macintosh.

After working on the computer lab all summer, Zibrick plans on keeping the lab open eight hours a day Monday through Friday. He is looking for people who can help him keep the lab going.

Zibrick said the lab will generally be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless the stu­dents can't make it during those hours.

"All people are welcome to stop in and I'll show them around," Zibrick said.

L Spikers gearing up for smashing ·season 14th ranked Roadrunners enter 1995 season with a new look and high expectaions

Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

When the women's team volleyball opens its season Sept. 1 in Hawaii and plays its first home game Sept. 13 against Regis, Metro coach Rhonda Williams expects her revamped team to be impres­sive. Working with what she calls her "best recruiting class ever," Williams has high hopes for her squad.

The Roadrunners finished the season strong last year but it wasn't enough to gain a berth into the NCAA Tournament, a goal the team shoots for each season. They finished 23-14 overall and 9-3 in Colorado Athletic Conference play - including a win over first-place Regis in the season's final game - which was good for a third place CAC finish.

"'This year's team is probably more athletic than last year's and we have more depth," Williams said. "It's too early to tell how good they will be but they all like each other and they hive a great attitude and work ethic."

Team chemistry will be an important factor since the Roadrunners lost two stel­lar athletes last year and have nine new faces on the roster.

Metro lost Crissy Canada, an All­American who led the CAC in hitting effi­ciency, kills and blocks.

The Roadrunners also lost Chelsea Terrell who was second in kills and was one of the best servers on the team.

"Crissy will be the hardest to replace," Williams said. "Her competitiveness and work ethic and talent will be missed. We have a player who will hopefully fill that role in Marnie Salhus-Adams."

Salhus-Adams is a 6-foot senior mid­dle-blocker transfering from the University of Denver. She was an all­Colorado Athletic Conference player her freshman campaign at DU. The problem is getting her eligible to play. An inadvertent NCAA rules-violation threatens to cancel the season for Salhus-Adams.

According to Williams, Salhus­Adams and a partner participated in dou­bles tournaments over the summer. NCAA players are not allowed to accept prize money if they plan to remain eligible. While Salhus-Adams didn't accept any cash, her partner did. Unbeknownst to her it is also a violation if a players~ partner accepts cash.

"She didn't know she was doing any­thing wrong and we've appealed and hope­fully this will be taken care of before we go to Hawaii," Williams said. "I think she will be allowed to play."

To improve on last year's results the Roadrunners will need to get consistent play from all eight new players. Last sea­son the team spent the first two-thirds of the season on a rollercoaster ride. They had three losing streaks of three games or more and four three-game or more win­ning streaks. The teams' real potential did­n't become apparent until the end of the season - the Roadrunners won 10 of 12

HANG TIME: Corey Hostetler, right, spikes the ball over Erika Probst, left, and Kerry Beidleman at volleyball practice on Tuesday. The Roadrunners finished 9-3 in the Colorado Athletic Conference, good for third place. Metro added eight new players to this year's squad and hope to gain a berth in the NCAA Tourney.

- and by then it was too late. "We've got to avoid the slumps this

year," WLlliams said. ''We finished really strong and could have been better."

To ensure success this season Williams added a whole new look to the team, signing three freshmen and five transfers including Salhus-Adams.

"These players may have the best physical talent of any I have recruited in the five years I've been in Denver," Williams said.

New faces - Metro signed Corey Hostetler from

Doherty High School in Colorado Springs. Hostetler, a 5-foot-8 outside hitter, earned all-conference and all-state status last sea­son as a senior prep.

- Terri Kammerzell, a 6-foot oppo­site middle-blocker, joins the Roadrunners after a stellar career at Roosevelt High School in Milliken, CO. Kammerzell was an all-conference and all-state selection while playing for the Roughriders. She was also played basketball and ran track.

- Laura Mader rounds out the prep signee's. Mader is a 5-foot-9 outside hitter and defensive specialist from Brighton High School. She earned all-conference and all-state honors during her senior sea­son. Mader was also a first-team All­Denver Post selection last fall.

- Tala Pole heads the list of players acquired through transfer. Pole is a 6-foot junior middle-blocker from Spokane Falls

Community College in Spokane, WA. She earned all-conference and all-star honors last season and was heavily recruited. bl' Division I power Illinois.

-Paula Makridis joins .the Roadrunners after a two-year stint at Cerritos College in Norwalk, CA. Makridis was a Volleyball Monthly sec­ond-team All-American pick last season after leading her team to a second-place finish at the California State Junior College Tournament. She is a 5-foot-9 junior outside hitter who earned all-con­ference and Southern California all-state honors in 1993 and 1994.

- Erika Probst, a 5-foot-10 junior middle-blocker, transfers after playing two seasons at Delta Junior College in Stockton, CA. Probst led her team to a first-place finish in the Northern California team rankings in 1994. She earned 1993 All-American status and was named a third-team All-American in 1994 by Volleyball Monthly. She was an all-confer­ence and Northern California all-state selection in 1993 and 1994.

- Yolanda Milton comes to Metro from Mid Plains Community College. in North Platte, NE. She is a 5-foot-6 junior outside hitter and was an all-conference, all-region and second-team All-American last season at Mid Plains.

more setter.

- Kerry Beidlei:nan. a 5-foot-6 junior setter.

20 The METROPOLITAN AUGUST 25, 1995

Women's soccer determined to bounce back Roadrunners try to eliminate subtle mistakes from last season and reach fall potential

Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

If it is true that you learn from mis­takes and that adversity builds character, the women's soccer team should prepare for a successful campaign in 1995.

Last season the Roadrunners sped off to an incredible 9-0 start and a national ranking of No. 3 before tailspinning and losing seven of their last 11 games, The drastic plunge was attributed to youth and a lack of experience. While the young players performed above expectations at times, when the pressure of the high rank­ing and some tough losses began to weigh heavily, the team chemistry crumbled. The team finished at 7-3-2 in Colorado Athletic Conference matches and 11-7-2 overall.

This season Coach Ed Montojo said he hopes a more balanced attack and the experience his team gained last year will help them achieve a more consistent per­formance level and a better record.

"We want to improve on our third place finish in conference," Montojo said. "That is the lowest we have ever finished. Our number one goal is to win the confer-ence."

To do that, the Roadrunners must address the vacuum-like hole that was cre­ated with the departure of senior Rosie

Durbin. Durbin led Metro in scoring (17 goals), assists (6) and points (40). Metro also lost seniors Jessa Montoya and Chrissy McCain.

Additionally, Metro will be without Deborah Sapasbe and Melissa Villani.

"Deborah is getting out of soccer because her knees are just shot and Melissa is an academic casualty," Montojo said.

Filhng the void left by these five play­ers are 11 new ones led by Tracy Mayes, a forward/midfielder.

"Tracy Mayes is one girl who is look­ing really good as a goal scorer," Montojo said. "We are hoping three or four players step up and make up for Rosie's goal scor­ing."

Metro ranked second in the CAC in goal scoring (2.4 per game) and third in goals allowed (1.48 per game). Montojo said he expects his defense to be even bet­ter this season.

"We are looking to tighten our defense," he said. "We have a quicker team and we will be strong in goal."

The Roadrunners return two veteran goal keepers in Chellie McCourt and Jennifer Pierce. McCourt was 8-3-1 last season and gave up just 1.37 goals per game, allowing just 15 on the season and making 64 saves. Her counterpart, Pierce,

was 3-4-1 allowing 1.28 goals per game with 13 goals allowed and 46 saves made.

"We will be strong in goal with Chellie and Jennifer," Montojo said. "We would like one or the other to step up and be the goalie but they both play well and we can work with both of them."

Metro kicks off its season Sept. 2 against the University of Cal-Davis. Montojo said his team will be tested early and often with the first half of their sched­ule. They take on local rivals the University of Denver (Sept. 20) and Regis University (Sept. 27) at home and play perennial east coast powerhouse Mercyhurst College (Sept. 30) on the road.

"We need to find out where we are right away," Montojo said. "Cal-Davis is traditionally tough so we will find out if we are ready to compete."

One advantage the Roadrunners will have this season is a favorable home schedule. Last season Metro played 13 road games compared to just seven at Auraria fields. This season they play nine home matches and eight on the road.

"What we like about our field is that it is big," Montojo said. "When we get on smaller fields we feel cramped. We like to spread it out and our field allows us to do that and it favors us."
