Employees say air making them sick Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

If you go to the student health center healthy, you may leave sick. At least that is what some of the employees there say.

The student health center is having an indoor air-quality screening done after employees brought the problem of stale air to the center director's attention.

For at least a year, center Director Stephen Monaco has been working with Auraria to try to get better airflow into the center.

"I would say all our employees would concur with the fact that our air quality should be improved within this suite," Monaco said.

He could not make a statement regarding the fact that some employees are attributing illnesses to the air quality in the clinic.

'There is nothing that I can quantify," he said.

At least two employees of the health clinic attribute a detrimental affect on their health to the air quality in the center.

"I think there is something in our air here that is affecting several of the staff members as well as it could affect the patients," said Martha Eaton, a medical service specialist. "I have had documented

asthma in the past, but this year I've had more docu­mented sinusi­tis then I've ever had in my life."

J a n e t Jaramillo, a cashier for the center agrees with Eaton . "I've

Monaco

never been so sick as when I started work­ing here," she said.

A few weeks ago when construction was being done above the center, three people fell ill due to the dust and dirt par­ticles in the air. Also concerning the employees was the asbestos removal done across the hall from the center.

Jaramillo was uncomfortable with the removal at first. After the center hired an outside occupational and environmental specialist from University Hospital to oversee the project, she said she felt better about it.

"I think we all have a lot of faith in the guy," she said.

"What I'm still uncomfortable about is the fact that we're jam-packed into this

tiny area and the bad air. I think we're all sick because of it, I really do." Jaramillo said.

Dr. Michael Kosnett, the specialist, met with employees in the health center for more than an hour to explain the asbestos removal process and answer questions employees had.

Monaco said he hired Kosnett because he "wanted to feel confident that all the steps we were being told were in place; were in fact adequate and actually being done."

American Environmental Management removed the asbestos and monitored the air throughout the process and had no problems. Kosnett also agreed that the removal was safe and followed state regulations as well as the added safe­ty measures requested by Monaco.

John Lanning, a professor from the Chemistry Department at University of Colorado-Denver, is conducting the indoor air screening at the health center.

"It's a very preliminary screening, just to see if there is a possibility of a build-up of pollutants," Lanning said. "My percep­tion is that the ventilation is quite good. I have not detected any unusual odors com­ing from the ventilation." He added that he had only been to the center five times dur­ing his sampling from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16.

"Indoor air quality is a very difficult area because you're dealing with people's perception," Lanning said. "Individuals react very differently to various levels of materials in the air."

Lanning said that the testing he did wouldn't add or take away from the per­ception of bad air quality.

The health center's air intake is locat­ed near the loading dock area which could contribute to the odors in the center. Lanning said that this in itself is not a health hazard.

"It does suggest that putting a loading dock next to the air intake does not make a lot of sense," he said.

Alan Saville, an environmental pro­tection specialist .with the Colorado Department of Health, said when there is an indoor air problem, the first place to investigate is the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, commonly referred to as HVAC.

"Ventilation is important in hospitals and health clinics because the more stale air you have, the more the airborne bacte­ria and viruses can spread," Saville said.

He also said that many times people think it's an air problem when it really is not. "Sometimes it is a psychosomatic thing, people are literally imagining

; Enrollment figures show downward trend Metro sees 8.8 percent decrease in students from high school despite prediction of boom

Christine Richardson The METROPOLITAN

Enrollment at Metro has decreased by 3.7 percent since Fall 1994, according to the Department of Institutional Research.

The Census for Fall 1994 and 1995 Student Profile Summary, released this month, shows Metro's head count dropped from 17,461 in 1994 to 16,815 in 1995, a decrease of 646 students.

This is the fourth year in a row that fall enrollment has decreased.

"I think that enrollment has a lot to do with the economy," said Ellen Boswell, assistant director for Institutional Research. "When the economy is good, enrollment is down. When the economy is bad, enrollment goes up."

"We knew something was up in the second week of August," Registrar Tom Gray said. "Up until the first week of August we were equal, if not higher than last year's enrollment. During the second week it dropped and that's when we start­ed contacting students who enrolled but did not register." He said enrollment slightly improved from August to September.

Gray said Metro contacted the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado-Denver and both colleges were experiencing similar decreases in enrollment.

Metro experienced a 2.5 percent decrease in full-time student enrollment and a 5.1 percent decrease in part-time enrollment.

"Students' needs may have changed," Gray said. "In today's economy students may find that they want to work instead of going to school. Or maybe it is just too expensive to go to school."

The number of students coming to Metro from high school decreased by 8.8 percent. 'That number is a concern to us because of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's report of an enrollment increase in this area this year," Gray said. "We have to find where these students are going."

1994

Even though Metro's enrollment decreased, the temporary classrooms near the Arts building were still necessary, Gray said. "The buildings were necessary because of the construction going on in the Plaza building and because of Metro's attempts to keep classes small." Metro offers almost 2,300 classes and having 646 fewer students won't affect the need for a class, Gray said.

Metro plans to conduct a phone sur­vey to contact students who attended class­es in the Spring semester and did not return in the Fall. Metro will also form an

Enrollment Management Task Force to look at enrollment issues and existing data.

"We must do more image promotion to tell the public that Metro exists and that it is a quality institution that can meet their needs," Gray said.

Other area colleges have experienced different enrollment trends. Colorado State University has experienced approximately a two percent increase in enrollment, from 21,461 total students last Fall to 21,914 total students this Fall, said Marissa Chapman, an administrative assistant for CSU's Institutional Research Department. Over 16,400 of those total students are ·in-

state, full-time students. The University of Colorado-Boulder's

total enrollment dropped from 24,548 in 1994 to 24,440 in 1995, a .44 percent decrease. The percentage of Colorado res­idents enrolled at CU dropped .36 percent since last year. There are 7 ,826 non-resi­dent students and 16,614 residents in 1995, compared to last year's 7,772 non-resi­dents and 16,676 residents.

Red Rocks Community College expects to stay close to what its enrollment was last Fall, at approximately 7,000 total students, said Susan Kumpf, a program assistant at the college's registrar's office.

Forum addresses conflict between Arabs, Jews Discussion runs srrwothly despite threats of violence if Arab Americans of Auraria refused to cancel Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

Can Arabs and Jews live together in peace was the question discussed at the Arab and Jewish Dialogue on Sept. 21.

"Racism is alive and well," were the opening comments that moderator, Umna Suleiman offered.

A crowd of 50 people attended the event at St Cajetan's Center with a panel of five - three Jewish Americans repre­senting lsr;i.el and two Arab Americans representing Palestine.

Safa Suleiman, president of Metro's student government and secretary of the Arab American club, was the first panelist to speak. She said that the hurt in her peo­ple came from the dehumanization by the Israeli government.

"Because of this, the whole essence of humanity has been diluted," she said.

Panelist Haitham Ali spoke about jus­tice. He lived in Israel for 12 years, three of which he spent in prison. · "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," he explained.

He believed both Palestinians and Israelis should have equal power in repre­sentation and decision making.

According to Ali, 88 percent of Palestinians living in Israel over the age of 18 have been in prison. He said he

believed that if both Israelis and Palestinians want to live together, it will happen.

"Justice is a concept that is colored," said panelist Dave Hornberg, a Jewish Metro student. Muslims and Jews are a proud people, he added.

Hornberg went on to say that justice is a matter of perception, and perception is reality. For the Jews, justice means finally having their land. For the Palestinians, justice means that they would finally have their land back.

Bringing together younger genera­tions of Israelis and Palestinians is the first step in what needs to take place across the planet, Hornberg said

Emily Saslak, a Metro student who works in the financial-aid department, said, "It's our duty as people who care for human rights and justice to keep our truths."

Both peoples need to see how they are the same, not different, she added.

Melodye Feldman, a Jewish panelist said, "When people are oppressed, then there will be a problem."

Feldman said we need to learn from our mistakes, work together and that Jews need to be critical toward the Israeli gov­ernment and its unjustness.

Palestinians need to take responsibili­ty to find leadership and the Arab

'RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL': Metro student Umna Suleiman opens a forum to discuss the conflicts between Arabs and Jews during Arab Awareness Week.

American club is the first step in doing so, she said.

"Even though there have been threats made for us to shut up, we are not going to. I am ready to make that commitment," Feldman said.

After each of the panelists gave dia­logue, the they took questions from the audience.

Questions arose such as, "Where do we go from here?"

One panelist suggested a forum club be organized so various clubs can get together to express their problems with each other.

"We need to put the matter in the peo­ple's hands," Ali said. "We cannot live with solutions that other people made."

Student representative facing impeachment

SEPTEMBER 'l9, 1995 The METROPOLITAN 5

Flak}' end to summer

::- Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

;:

-..

The only Metro student involved in a practical joke aimed at Metro's Student Government Assembly last week is facing possible impeachment from SGA.

A Student Government representative of the Community College of Denver and four from University of Colorado-Denver, collaborated in organizing the prank in which a fake murder scene was placed in front of the Metro student government office in the Tivoli.

In a meeting Sept. 21, the seven vot­ing members of SGA recommended unan­imously to impeach Amy Haimerl, student representative for the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, for being present during the prank.

Other options such as mediation or retribution in the form of volunteer work were rejected by Metro's student govern­ment and Haimerl

The case will now go before the Student Court, where three appointed stu­dents will preside over the hearings.

The tape outline of a person holding a broken baseball bat lying in front of the office is long gone, but feelings of anger about the prank flared up again during the meeting.

"To the individual who views it as a joke, I'm asking, ' what is the punch line?"' said Lisa Scott, vice president of Student Services for SGA, to a student who stood up to say that most students thought of it as a simple prank.

Scott, the first to see the outline, said during the meeting that she was deeply affected by the joke.

After the vote, a visibly shaken Haimerl called the meeting "completely orchestrated," adding that people who spoke in her favor were cut off repeatedly by Metro Student Government President Safa Suleiman. Suleiman declined to com­ment to The Metropolitan.

Haimerl has been accused of violating articles 3, 4, 5, 13 and 15 of the Standard of Conduct listed in the student handbook. Threats, intimidation, harassment, damage to property and hazing are some of the offenses.

Jenny Sparks/The METROPOLITAN

NOT LAUGHING: Student govern­ment is trying to impeach Amy Haimerl over last-week's prank.

Peter J. Rutt, chief justice of Metro student court, said Haimerl will get a fair chance during the hearings, which he guessed could start in "a couple of weeks."

The practical joke, intended to draw Metro's Student Government closer to the two other colleges' student governments, was perceived as ill-timed and not funny because SGA members felt threatened by a Metro student.

Joe Ortiz, chief of Auraria Public Safety, said no reports were made and he advised members of student government on how to deal with what they described as "disruptive behavior."

Meanwhile, Haimerl maintains that her "involvement" was nothing more than witnessing the practical joke by chance.

"I worked late," she said, "(and) saw what my friends were doing. I said 'I don't think this is going to be amusing, but everybody knows I don't have a sense of humor, so I thought it must be funny."

Sad is the word Sean Rice, vice presi­dent of CCD student government and prank participant, used to describe his feel­ings on the incident.

"It's a sad way to spend student fees," he said.

A student makes a wet trek to his car thanks to an end-of­summer snowstorm Sept. 20. The wet, heavy snow dam­aged thousands of trees across the city and left many with­out power through the weekend.

things," Saville said. Auraria has been working with the

clinic over the past year trying to deter­mine the proper airflow for the clinic, Monaco said.

"They have made adjustments each time we spoke with them as far as trying to get us more air exchange in this space," he said.

Ray Allen, Auraria manger of envi­ronmental health, said that HVAC people

came in and upgraded the amount of fresh air going into the clinic in August. They also changed the timers that run the fans to stay on for 24 hours.

Allen said that clinic employees also contribute to the problem by shutting off their thermostats and turning off the air­flow.

He said they are looking at all things that affect their work environment at the clinic to determine if the it can be made better.

Romer wants exit exams at colleges Frank Kimitch The METROPOLITAN

Standardized college entrance and exit exams for Colorado college students could be in the future if Gov. Roy Romer has his way with the legislature next year.

Sheila Kaplan. "If you have a 19-year-old who takes IO years to gradu­ate and is 29 when they graduate, how can you tell if their advances are through school or life experiences?"

Kaplan

The choices Kaplan referred to are the ones made by the consumers in the market for an education - students, par­ents, the public and the legislature. The test will attempt to answer questions about comparative quality of education, "value added" benefits and allocation of state resources, Kaplan said.

"What we're looking at doing is try­ing to provide good consumer info for students about Colorado's schools," said Geri Reinardy, external relations officer at the Commission.

Romer announced Sept. 11 at a meet­ing of the Colorado Commission for Achievement in Education that he wants to introduce legislation that would give standardized tests to all entering and exit­ing students at Colorado's institutions of higher education.

'There is no one standardized test that will accurately measure all the stu­dents at Metro," said Metro President

Kaplan said she thinks Romer is try­ing to gauge the college's performance and establish a guide for making choices.

The tests would assess skills such as communication, writing, math and civics.

course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way more of your money goes where it should - towards building a comfortable future.

We make low expenses a high priority.

Because of our size and our exclusive focus on serving the needs of educational and research communities, TIAA-CREF's costs are among the lowest in the insurance and mutual funds industries.1

In fact, Morningstar, Inc. - one of the nation's leading sources of variable annuity and mutual fund information - says, "Size isn't a constraint; it ... enables CREF to realize a remarkable economy of scale.''2 According to Morningstar's data, CREF's "minuscule" 0.31% average fund expense charge was less than half that charged by comparable funds.3

TIAA's traditional annuity also charges no fees

Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an investment decision. While we're committed to keeping our expenses down, we spare nothing in trying to provide top­quality investment choices, financial expertise, and personal service·. Because that can make a difference in the long run, too.

TIAA-CREF seeks performance, not profit.

At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would like to spend more on retirement, not on their retire­ment company. If you'd like to see how our approach can help keep more of your money working for you, call us at 1 800 842-2776 (8 a .m. to l I p.m. ET, weekdays). We'd consider it a compliment.

Simple system for curriculum changes

Travis Henry The METroPOLITAN

After much paperwork and debate in the Faculty Senate, American Baseball History-HIS 353 is now available to everyone who wants to know more than Dante Bichette's batting average.

Before classes such as Baseball History become a reality, they first must pass through the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee.

Metro's departments that would like to add new courses to the curriculum should have an easier time thanks to an on­line simplified curriculum change pro­gram the committee put in place last year.

"Over the years everybody has com­plained about the curriculum process," said Doug Cawley, chairman of the com­mittee. "We have now simplified it as much as possible."

The new program has necessary doc­uments in place and is on-line for depart­ments to use when they are requesting cur­riculum changes. The old program required departments to file a plethora of un-needed documents for every request.

"Departments used to have to send every document involved with any cur­riculum through the process," Cawley

said .. "Now they can just access the docu­ment that pertains to their request. It cuts down on half of what they have to do."

Once a course is proposed by a department it goes to the School Curriculum Committee, the dean of the school and then to the Faculty Senate

If approved unanimously the request then heads to Academic Affairs and ulti­mately the State Board of Trustees, which is similar to the University of Colorado­Boulder's Board of Regents, but governs only four state colleges in Colorado. The four state colleges are Adams, Western, Mesa and Metro.

If a course is approved without a unanimous vote, the course then heads to the Faculty Senate which votes on the cur­riculum change before sending it to Academic Affairs.

One course, Multicultural Service Learning-PSY 317, faced that challenge last year after the Curriculum Committee failed to approve it unanimously.

"That class seemed to me to be more multicultural than all the other ones we have," Cawley said. "Some of the people on our committee thought it was too broad because it was too multi."

The course was eventually approved Continued page 9

Pool leak slowing Becky O'Guin The METROPOLITAN

Facilities Management reports that the water leaking from the pool has been reduced to almost zero in recent months.

John lsmert, an engineer for Facilities Management, said the leaking was controlled by putting calcium in the water. The calcium builds up on the inside of the porous pipes, reducing the amount of water that escapes. The leaks are in the pipes that return chemically treated and heated water to the pool. The pipes are under the cement deck which makes mon­itoring how much water is leaking out dif­ficult.

This however, is a temporary solu­tion because when the pool is shut down for yearly maintenance, the pipes will be cleaned out and the scaling removed,

Ismert said. The pool is scheduled to be shut

down next summer for two or three months so that a new gutter system that returns water to the pool can be installed along with other repairs. ·

The pool began leaking sometime in or before 1991. Ismert said that facilities management first asked the state for money to repair the pool in 1991.

The state legislature appropriated $220,000 to repair the pool.

Auraria had the pool inspected in December 1993. Fred Grutzmacher, pres­ident of American Leak Detection, said the pool was leaking like a sieve when he inspected the pool.

Exact figures on how long the pool has been losing water or how much water the pool has lost have not been recorded.

New system makes changes easier From page 8

by the committee. When a course is added to a depart­

ment's curriculum, students who were enrolled before the addition are not responsible for it.

Students have no power to request

course additions besides going to their department and requesting a faculty mem­ber to take up their cause.

Most recommendations by the com­mittee are followed, but the final say is always from the State Board of Trustees. The only items that go before the board are major changes in curriculum.

Professors' views too simplistic One quick question for the good doctor

Mascarenas, don't you think ifs a bit offensive, ignorant and insensitive to label differing opin­ions as a, "White mind-set based on material­ism, individuality and greed." What you are say­ing in fact is that you don't hate white people, you just hate the way they think, and anybody who disagrees with you must be backward, bar­baric and unenlightened. How civilized is that, and why is your Inaccurate, generalization of "white mind-ser any less racist than any number of racial slurs? There are three subjects which I would like to address in brief.

First, there is no such thing as a "White Culture". There are American, Russian, German, Italian, French, English, Ukrainian, Croatian, Montenegrin, etc. cultures. Search around and you will find that each is very dis­tinct, and rich in its own way. It is insulting for you to clump such unique civilizations together into one evil conglomerate.

Secondly, your attempt to demonize whites and their "mind-ser is typical, and unjustified. You are not differentiating the good from the bad. For every Hitler or Stalin "White Culture• has produced it has produced a thousand enlightened revolutionaries and geniuses along the lines of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Beethoven,

Shakespeare, Galileo, Copernicus, Marx, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc.

There Is a simplistic justification for your bias in the Sept 22 issue of The Metropolitan,

which states that it is good that your views are expressed along with the "racisr views of insti­tutionalized white professors. It is my belief, naive perhaps, that the goal is some semblance of objectivity on all sides of an issue. If not, open racists have free license to pound their views into the minds of impressionable college stu­dents!

Finally, I would suggest that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones at other cultures. After all, every closet has its hid­den garbage. I refuse to let America fictionalize, and to the extent that I am able, I will fight this "Balkanization of America" on every front; even confronting a well respected professor If need be. We Americans need cooperation in this cru­cial transitional period in our country's history. The challenge of racial disharmony is extremely infectious, yet demands the most subtle medi­cines, of which "The Blame Game" is not one.

·311's new album shines Chad Bardon The METROPOLITAN

s ega-playing rockers 311; are flying up the charts with their new self-titled album, 311.

1be members of311 grew up in Omaha, Neb. playing for different cover bands and formed the band in 1990. From there they made a couple of homemade demos and cassettes which were sold across the United States.

It was not until 1992, when they relocated to Los Angles, that they were signed by a record company, shortly after the release of their debut album Music.

In 1992, 311 released a second album Grassroots.

In 1994 the band's latest album, 311 , was released and from there 311 's music really hit the ceiling. New to the main-stream, 311 plays songs about unity and living life in a more positive way.

Comprised of Chad Sexton (drums), Timothy Mahoney (guitar), P-Nut (bass), SA Martinez (vocals) and Hexum - 311 fuses hard rock, funk, rap and reggae into a potent musical phenomena full of energy.

311 members have covered a lot of territory since the band's formation. The band played its first gig opening for Fugazi in 1990. Since then the band has put out one album per year since 1993 and tours almost non-stop.

A goal that 311 had for its first album, Music, was to take rap and make it musical.

One positive thing drummer Sexton reflects back on, he laughs, is in 1993 they were playing gigs for "two people," and now they are playing for anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 people every night

One common misinterpretation of the name 311 is that the letter k is the eleventh letter in the alphabet, and eleven three times could be misin­terpreted as KKK (Ku Klux Klan), Sexton said.

'We are totally against KKK. and would never have anything to do with that," Sexton barked.

In their free time while touring, "We enjoy playing Sega on the tour bus. If we are in the city for a day off, we'll check out the city, but we mostly smoke pot and play Sega," he said with a smirk.

The cover of the album, 311, displays images of aliens and strange formations on Mars. This cover was chosen because the band believes there is other life-forms in the universe.

Sexton shared his views, "I believe in aliens and the conspiracy that the government is trying to cover it up."

Because of the technology that is available through higher intelligent beings, he said, "It's a whole big scam."

It goes from aliens, to a big new world order, Sexton points out.

"We believe that aliens have communica­tion at all times with a section of the government that is very secret."

Grassroots focuses on growing up slowly as a band, the right way, from the ground up.

311, the band's latest album offers a defini­tive view of the musical forces that make the band so unique.

Aliens aside, Sexton explained that 311 writes songs about unity. "We are positive with our lyrics and Jive in a positive way. When peo­ple in the band are thinking negative, we help them out in a positive way."

GRASSROOTS: 311 brings their mixture of rock, funk, rap, reg­gae music and positive lyrics to Denver. 311 will perform in Denver Friday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. at The Mammoth Events Center. Tickets are $13.75. Call 83~TIXS.

Student leader juggles Metro activities Anne Hall The METROPOLITAN

M aking connections between people is essential lo Annester Taylor-Brown, chairwoman of the Metro Student Activities Council.

"I love building bridges," she said, as we chatted in front of the Tivoli on a sunny afternoon. "It's my favorite thing."

While she smoked a cigarette,

"I said to myself, am I ready? Oh, what the heck," she said. "It was important; I needed to branch out more."

A full-time sociology major, Taylor-Brown spends her spare time with her 11-year-old daughter, Francelia.

"We hang out," she said with a laugh. "I'm not really sure that I have a hobby."

While she is closed-mouthed about her life outside of school and work ("I don' t like to get personal"), Taylor-Brown's enthusiasm for her calling shines through. Taylor-Brown talked a little about

her life and a lot about her work. A New Orleans native, she

moved to Denver with her parents as a young girl. Following a Catholic-school education, she started attending Metro in 1991.

'Not everything is written in books; some people learn from the visual.'

"She's action-oriented,'' said YoJanda Ortega-Ericksen, dean of Student Life . .'There's never a prob­lem working with her because you know the job will get done."

As the chairwoman of the Activities Council, she said she tries to coordinate Metro functions with

Taylor-Brown sees the role of student activities - bringing in speak­ers, presenting forums, organizing student gatherings - as essential to a Metro education. Community College of Denver and

"It's so much easier to work together and have an event be successful, rather than these small events com­peting against each other," she said.

After first getting involved with the Peak Leadership program, Taylor-Brown's work led her into student activ­ities. She experienced some doubt before taking on the role of chairwoman.

"Not everything is written in books; some people learn from the visu­

. al," she said. "We try very hard to bring in people who will reflect that overall experience of the college career."

Taylor-Brown's long-term goal is to help young girls realize their potential through her own consulting fi.-m.

"You can get around barriers, or you can get through them, and education will help you," she said. "I like being that role model."

delivery of monitors and computer software. :nulation software, developed by Wesson f Austin, Texas, can create incredibly complex .. ctin feature being the ability to simulate flight my major airport in the world. Pilots can simu­;, landings and takeoffs from airports spanning 1an, to Washington D.C. These two independent ~rconnected with software designed and written

Like two boats built inside a bottle, they are the hulking nose sections and cockpits of two very big planes wedged into a not-so-big room. The real DC-10 carries 280 passengers . and has a flight time of ten to 12 hours. Currently they are procedure simulators only, meaning they are designed to simulate the checkout or "Flows" procedures that the three-man crew must accomplish before every flight. They can simulate flight, complete with engine sounds and working gauges, but they lack connection with the air traffic control systems. That is the next step.

Hired by Russell to help convert the DC-1 O's into flight simulators integrated with the ground-control systems is 19-year-old Todd l

MAPPING IT OUT: On a table in front of one of the two DC-10 flight simulators lays a replica of instrument panels that are yet to be installed in the new simulators .

Lawall. He is considered a genius by many in the department. ' "I've been told that before," Lawall said. "I just do my work the best I can."

-

O~ TAKEOFF: The two DC-1 O simulators that were donated to Metro ines will not be fully operational for at least six months.

"What we're trying to accomplish here isn't being done anyplace else," Russell said. "I wanted someone without any pre­conceived idea about how to program the simulator. I needed someone who could create solutions to new problems as they went along." Essentially, a hack­er. Lawall wears the title proudly as do many ·at his level of programming skill. He described it as someone who has gone beyond the normal skills involved in software design. A hacker is a theorist and creative thinker that can test the accepted limits of pro­gramming. This is at least the image they would like to exude.

The final aspect of the

World Indoor Airport is a feature that qualifies it as a true hybrid among other flight training systems and something of which Russell is proud. Instructors can check on students fly­ing the simulators from anywhere in the world via the Internet. The necessary software, designed by Russell, will allow any­one with proper access to view flying and ground control oper­ations of any simulator they choose making anonymous and less distracting observations of students flying techniques.

Mickey and Todd are helped by 16 work-study students, each with special skills that fill in where their "sense" is lack­ing. The entire project is designed and assembled by students, creating an incredibly unique learning experience and saving a lot of money, Russell said.

The cost of the entire simulation facility is hard to nail down, he admitted. Everything has been put together a little at a time and some of it is so different, there is no price tag. Replacement cost of the existing facilities would be over $25 m.illion. Metro has gained equipment with a $750,000 Federal grant, a $375,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration, $180,000 from the college and equipment donations from United Airlines.

"We never could have gotten it done without the invalu­able help of the students and faculty," said Mock. "Hiring pri­vate contractors would cost a fortune; students do the work for the education." The World Indoor Airport is due to be fully operational by Nov. I; an open house is scheduled for Nov. 4.

The sopho­m o r e album, Speak, from

Boulderites Love Lies showcases the band's versatili­ty. The CD offers a little bit of everything, from country

twangy backbeats to hard-core thrashy intros. Speak is a collection of diverse musi­cal styles sewn together with biting guitars and powerful vocal melodies. Recorded in May and June of 1995 at Club Dog Studios in Boulder. and also at Fanfare, in Golden, Speak was produced by grammy nominated artist Todd Buffa.

The really catchy tracks on the CD are few and far between. The title song, "Speak'', is a dreamy, countryesque love song that pronounces the talent of vocal­ist Christian Dicharry. "Everything" is a rather simple poppy-rock tune with a good beat in which the drumming of Donovan Stuart really stands out "Ball Inside" is a sultry, soft-song that creates a dreamy, floaty feeling.

The rest of the tracks are a little too repetitious. Several start out very well with thrashy guitars, but this isn' t kept up throughout the songs. Instead, the drowning vocals take over and leave the listener wanting more.

It's hard to label Love Lies because the band uses so many different musical styles, but I'd say they're a little grunge, a little country and a lot of plain old rock­n-roll.

Catch Love Lies at their CD release party and performance with Sympathy F and the Christines, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. at The Ogden Theatre.

Women lose heartbreaker Soccer team loses its third I -nil decision of season, fall to the Colorado Athletic Conj erence cellar at 1-6 Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

"Snake bit." That's what Metro women's soccer

coach Ed Montojo calls his team. The Roadrunners have lost three of

their last four games I-nil - all in the closing minutes of the match - to teams ranked in the top 20 in the nation.

Metro lost to the University of Denver 1-0 Sept. 20 when DU scored with 2:40 remaining in the game.

The Roadrunners dropped a I-nil deci­sion to Missouri-St. Louis Sept. 16 with under 11

True enough. With all of the close games Metro

has lost this season, you'd think Metro had a penchant for folding in the closing moments of a match.

Montojq said the breaks just don't fall in Metro's favor.

"We've had some chances," Montojo said. 'The ball just doesn't have eyes for Metro. It has eyes for the other team."

The ball hasn't even opened its eyes for the Roadrunners this season. Metro

has scored a grand total of four goals in seven

games. Three were by A.J. Macintosh in the

minutes remain­ing.

Wednesday, against Regis University, the Roadrunn e rs played scoreless

'We've only scored four goals this year. We work on shooting, we just haven't

scored.'

Roadrunners' only win - a 3-nil shutout against Colorado Christian University Sept. 13 - and the other was scored by freshman Katie soccer for 109:27

only to see Regis' Jamie Martinez score from the corner of the penalty box at 9:23 of the second overtime period.

"It was the type of

I

game that neither team deserves to lose," Montojo said. "I think a little bit of luck had to do with it."

Metro took 10 shots to Regis' 12, but controlled the ball for most of the second half and in overtime. Regis simply scored when it counted.

Metro junior Jami Morgan said this year's team is just as talented as last sea­son's, which started the season 9-0, but can't buy a break.

"We are a strong team," Morgan said after the loss. "We have just had had luck finishing games."

-EdMontojo Metro women's

soccer coach Pierce.

"We've only scored four goals this year," Montojo noted. "We work on shooting, we

just haven 't scored." Metro has done an

about-face from last season's quick 9-0 start and its No. 3 national ranking. Montojo said the Roadrunners are capa­ble of bouncing back and having a suc­cessful season.

"I won't get down on them," Montojo said. 'The effort is there. We just have to take advantage of our opportunities."

Metro will be tested on the road for four straight matches

"I think we just get up for really big games," Montojo said. "We have to main­tain that attitude for every team and we will be OK."

Volleyball team back on track Women drop four of first six before winning two in a row including victory against top 20 West Texas A&M

Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

The women's volleyball team took its wake-up call from coach Rhonda Williams after a disturbing Joss to Colorado School of Mines and proceeded to beat West Texas A&M and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs Sept. 22.

In what 1 Williams called "the breaking

The Roadrunners executed well enough Friday to win a three-game match with last season's spoilers, UCCS. Metro dominated, winning 15-12, 15·9, 15-12 at the Auraria Events Center in front of 125 fans.

Metro finished the game with a .187 attack percentage while allowing A&M a pathetic . I 03.
