ETROPOLITAN Senator could

~.face impeachment Teresa Lenway The Metropolitan

A request for the impeachment of Sen. -.Joel Kleg for allegedly making racist remarks

in a class last February sparked a standing ovation from ASMSC Senators.

The request came from Lisa Calderon of the Black Student Alliance at the Aug. 30 Senate meeting.

"In a political science class last year, we ",. were discussing the use of white police offi­

cers on the Denver Police Department Gang Task Force," Calderon said. "The teacher asked the class why white officers would be used in primarily black neighborhoods with

. primarily black gangs. Joel Kleg said ' ... - because you can't see the black cops at

night.'"• Bigotry !llld racism should not be toler­

ated in student government or in a student representative, she said.

Vice President Bill Jermance said the , - matter would be referred to Rules Commit­

tee for a closed-session review since it con­cerns personnel and that Kleg could address the allegations before the committee, but not on the Senate floor.

Kleg said later that the Senate reaction is c not entirely based on the allegations of

racism: "It's happening because Gerri Madrid has

a political vendetta, and the rest of Senate has a bunch of personal vendettas. H this bad happened to anyone else they [the Senate]

...,. would have heard their side of the story."

t

Kleg said his comment was misunder­stood and that after be learned he bad offended both the teacher and Calderon he

explained his intent to the teacher and apolo­gized and tried to do so with Calderon, but said she wouldn't speak to him.

"What I said, almost verbatim is: 'They're probably doing it for some stupid reason such as - you can't see the black ~ps at night.' It was supposed to show a lack of real concern by the DPD for the gang problem; only half of the comment was picked up," said Kleg. "It's closed-mindedness and un­willingn~ to listen;.filc-e Lisa's, that causes racism and bigotry. ·

"Madrid and the entire Senate want me out for what happened with Zak [Zoah] last year," Kleg said

The incident Kleg referred to involved a· complaint filed in April 1988 by then Sen. Judith Brooks concerning Kleg's comments during a conversation about Zoab's-bomo­sexuality.

Three days after filing the complaint Brooks withdrew it, and Kleg agreed to make a public apology to Zoab. But it had caused a rift in the Senate and Kleg eventu­ally resigned

Some members of the Senate seem to support Kleg's theory in part: they want him out.

"In response to his actions and attitudes, many members of the Senate, including myself, believe it would behoove Mr. Kleg to resign immediately," said Sen. A. Scott Gassmann of the most recent allegations.

Prof eyes state post with fervor Richard Sclbelll Jr. News Editor

What at first sight appears to be just another routine committee appointment could turn out to be more - that is if outspoken history professor, Charles Angeletti, can influence the trustees.

He is bringing with him to the position on the Board of Trustees to the State Colleges a determina­tion to better the quality of life for the student as well as the faculty.

Angeletti said that he believes his outsp0kenness, combined with his years of experience at Metro, will add to his effectiveness.

Angeletti, who was elected in May. after 22 years at MSC, was at the center of election disputes re­lating to the position he now holds.

Angeletti accused the Faculty Senate of mishandling the original electoral process that left Charles E. Allbee, chair of the English department, the victor by four votes. It was only after Angeletti's complaints, including accusations that votes were lost because of "careless mishandling of the sig­nature sheet and ballots," that MSC President Thomas Brewer agreed to hold a runoff election.

"The students ran a fairer elec­tion than we did," Angeletti said at the time.

One of his goals is to push for needed recognition ofhard-working faculty.

"The system has to make some real, and not symbolic, gestures for faculty members," Angeletti said

Angeletti says his commitment, however, is to Metro and its role and mission.

"I do not want tc· see Metro stray from its nontrad­itional urban role," he said

Angeletti said there are people

>iii;,

at MSC who would like to see that role changed. He referred to it as "creeping elitism," a phrase that was often used by opponents to a MSC-UCO merger.

"I am concerned about creeping elitism under the guise of faculty evaluation," be said

Angeletti feels that the added pressures of evaluations as they exist now only inhibit the teaching process. He would also like to see the new assessment tests reevalu­ated.

History profeasor. Charla Ang1l1ttl, r1praentltlV1 to th1 Board of Truatla ti thl Slit• Coll1g11.

Angeletti said his level of pro­ductivity will directly depend upon who the final appointees to the board are.

"Part of the failure of the trustee system in the past [was due to] not enough attention being paid to people appointed by [then governor] Dick Lamm," be said. "He [Gov. Roy Romer] needs to appoint some minorities."

Angeletti feels that appointees that are more familiar with an urban setting as well as an urban institution will better serve Metro.

Faculty from each of the state colleges rotate through the position. A different college is represented annually. The Trustee is expected to represent the needs of all four institutions, which include: Mesa State College, Western State Col­lege, Adams College and Metro­politan State College.

Angeletti plans to visit each of those campuses in September and early October in an effort to famil­iarize himself with their needs.

He will serve on the board with MSC student, Terry Thomas, who was appointed to serve as the state college's non-voting student repre­sentative.

According to Angeletti, it is yet to be seen whether Metro will have an added advantage by having two representatives on the board D

New Campus Safety Chairman Jim Capps said be plans to increase the committee's involvement with Auraria Public Safety.

"We want to address issues like the condition of safety on this campus at night, and try to live up to everything we were elected for,"

Capps said. Capps is currently co-sponsoring

a bill that will provide funds for refreshments at a racial. violence seminar to be presented during Public Safety Week in October.

The Club Funding Committee retained its pro tem chairman, Michael Green, who received praise for his work on the committee over the summer from many Senate members.

"The clubs come first," Green said about his approach to the CFC seat

Meicbell Walsh accepted chair­manship of the Financial Affairs Committee and promised to keep the Senate abreast of the com­mittee's activities .

SAC AB votes to reorganize The Student Union Advisory Undertheneworgaruz.ationplan,

Chad Morris Assistant News Editor

Like the Auraria Board before it, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board decided last week to reorganize its structure and eliminate the Student Facilities Policy Council.

According to SACAB Chair Mark Johnson, disbanding the SFPC would streamline the bond committee's organization.

"It's primarily to eliminate a bureauaatic glitch," be said.

As it stands now, when one of the four bond committees develops an idea, they have to present it to the SFPC - usually two weeks later. The SFPC wouJd either post­pone ~ion or approve the idea, be said The idea would then

go to SACAB and from there to Boardtouredthestudentunionsof SUAB, the food committee (for the Aurw Board for final ap- DU, CSU and UNC to get ideas the Student Union cafeteria), the proval. for Auraria's Student Union. They bookstore committee and the

SACAB rather than the SFPC. o

To finali7.e the reorganization process, the SA CAB has planned a one-day retreat on Sept. 23 in Room 330A of the Student Union. They have invited representatives from the Child Care Center, Student Government, AHEC division directors, the FacuJty Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board and all SACAB members.

At the retreat, SA CAB wants to

Police fight grip of stress

Michael Shannon The Metropolitan

In the early morning hours of Aug. 17, Patrolman David Hayhurst walked away from his squad car and 17 successful years with the Denver Police Department.

Why? Personal stress, the pressure of enormous debts and a feeling that his prob­lems were insurmountable forced Hayhurst into a bizarre escape plan that turned his life upside down and left his career a shambles.

"Police have a situation where they're not supposed to do things the average person does," said Walt Copley, professor of criminal justice at MSC.

"We expect them to be something more than human, and when something like this

.-- happens it causes some discomfort," he said. Police officers belong to an elite cl~ of

professionals for whom flawless performance is not a goal, but an as.5umption. Humanity is forgotten in the face of split-second decisions and despite the presence of all too real emotions. The result is an extraordinarily high stress level Which, when not attended to, can lead to the desperation Hayhurst experienced.

"As a police officer you're the first line of defense, and in many cases you're on your own," Copley said. "You cannot depend on

-;, the public to back you up."

His advice to his students who aspire to police wor_k: "The same sort of thing you might tell anyone - seek help. Don't keep it inside."

- Most police departments, even the smaller

ones, have a contract psychologist to help the officers deal with the most troubling aspects of their work, such as shootings. Counseling is available for personal problems as well, but the officers must seek out the help, Copley said.

"There is currently no kind of screening mechanism to detect problems," he said.

Copley believes the best preparation his students can have for the pressures of police life is to sample it before they make their career decision.

"We really stress the need for internships," he said.

"A few of them [the students] have some unrealistic ideas about what it is really like out there."

For future police officers, Copley suggests a minor in subjects outside criminal justice, or at least a hobby.

"Police officers deal with stress better when they channel it into other things, such as weightlifting and body building. They need a release.

· "One good thing is there seems to be more willingness to seek help among officers than there was 25 years ago."

Copley stands behind the way the Denver Police handled the Hayhurst affair.

''The fact that there were indicators [the FBI report], and those indicators were right, didn't mean anything," he said. "At the tune the FBI said, 'he's a walkaway,' he was still missing. They did exactly what they should have done in terms of good police work." o

Brewer--•rom pg. 1 -education had reached its final year and said faculty lobbying is going to be ~tial.

''Some people believe their commitment to education is over," he said. "We are ranked 41 st in the nation in educational funding and we did prior to the [proposed] commitment."

"The 1990 ~ion [legislative] is going to be very difficult," Brewer added

With the coming academic year, Brewer stated he is going to call for the creation of a new school of math and technology as well as conduct a review of the new general education requirements and ~ents.

Multi-cultural and community service requirements also make up his agenda. Brewer added that he would like to intensify the college's recruitment as well as retention processes.

Optional:

NeXT ..

Brewer added, however, that minority applications to Metro were up more than 40 percent from the previous academic year.

Minority enrollment has been subject to close scrutiny in the past, and as a result has been a priority of the administration.

Prior to his address, Brewer presented awards to outstanding faculty as well as non­faculty. Faculty categories included Distin­guished Service awards and the Gold Key Award which is presented for excellence in teaching. Recipients of the Distinguished Service Awards were nominated by faculty for having gone above and beyond their requirements as instructors. Recipients in­cluded: mathematics professor Frieda Holley; Richard Daetwiler, director of the ISDAAB; Mark Falkenhan, president of C~ed Council; the late Greg Pearson, professor of journalism; and Ron Veatch, director of the Counseling Center. Gold Key Awards were presented to Jeff Hurlbut, professor of chem- Thom11 Brewer. MSC Pruld1nt gives hla 11111

On a more philosophical note, Brewer shifted gears taking a moment to question people's senses of humor, commenting that it is a must in his life. His sense of humor was prevalent throughout his wit-laden ~

"I am leery and suspicious of those people who do not have a sense of humor," Brewer said. "How can anybody have a sense of overwhelming importance . .. we are infini­tesimal specks in the universe." In light of this Brewer reminded those attending that his door is and was always open to faculty as well as student concerns.

Brewer also took time to rehash his motto from last year: "METROPRIDE."

"We are aggressive and sometimes feisty. Thati'iwbatpahas'MEIROPRIDE,'"Brewer explained. "We know who we are and where we are going."

Brewer, a self-pronounced ''Trekkie" [a devoted Star Trek fan] concluded with a quote from Star Trek III by simply saying; "And the adventure continues." o

Co-op Center gives real-world training Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

If you're looking for a job related to your chosen major or minor, the Cooperative Internship Center is a great place to start.

Internships provide work experience and the chance to explore career options while putting ~oom theory into practice.

As far as advantages for the student go, Director Susan Warren Lanman said that depenm a lot on the student.

"Each person has their own needs and objectives, and they may be significantly different," she said. "Not all students come in here with their end goal being a perma­nent job. Initially, many are interested in tuition assistance and in meeting living expenses."

However, surveys mailed to co-op partic­ipants after graduation reflect that one-third have gone on to full-time positions with their co-op employer.

For students just looking for a job, Lan­man would like to stress that the co-op is an academic program - not a job placement program.

"Our purpose is to significantly contri­bute to the student's academic program."

Concerning the results of co-op programs nationwide, I .a.nman said, "Our data matches. There's no question that it's helpful to stu­dents looking beyond graduation. But it also benefits those going on to graduate and pro­fessional programs. Having the experience makes them more attractive candidates for fellowships and doctoral programs. Some

receive very good tuition assistance."

Minority students may receive an added benefit by working through the co-op. Many employers look to cooperative education programs for help in meeting their affirma­tive action goals. The co-op also helps employers to become more involved with the academic community by allowing them to actively express what types of training are the most important to their business.

More than 1,000 co-op programs exist across the country. Some schools hold mass orientations.

"That's not our emphasis," said Lanman. "Our emphasis is on providing individual­ized counseling to meet individualized needs."

With more than 2,000 students enrolled in the co-op per semester, I .anman said that she and her staff pride themselves in treating all of the students as individuals.

"They deserve the very best," she said. " I have tremendous admiration for Metro stu­dents. Many go to school against great odds. They are very committed and serious about what they're doing."

These are the requirements for the pro­gram: applicants must be Metro students, have a declared major, be a sophomore, junior or first-semester senior, have a GPA of 2.5 or higher, and complete at least 12 credit hours per year.

The length of a placement is determined between the employer and the student. Co­op jobs are based on three types_ of schedules.

Life's a game - for MSC

gamers Betty Lewis The Metropolitan

Fortr~ America, Axis & Allies, Cosmic Encounter, Paranoia. ME.RPS, Johnny Reb - do these names sound familiar'? Well, to one group of students they are part of every­day conversation.

They are members of the Auraria Gamers, a unique club that has existed on campus for 12 years. Located in the Student Union, Room 351E, the Gamers - you~ it · - play games. Some of their games, such as Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly and Risk, are familiar to the novice, but the Auraria Gamers play these and a variety of much more complex games: Battletech, ASL and Kingmaster, and historic miniatures in which replicas representing army figures are used to recreate battles.

"Miniatures give everyone a chance to be an armchair general," said gamer Bob Chase.

But the most difficult and sophisticated games are the role-playing games.

"When most people think of role-playing, they think of D&D [Dungeons and Drag­ons]," said club president David Morgan

"They are games in which a character and scenario are created by the game master and carried out by players as an adventure on a board with dice."

Some role-playing games can continue for a long time and are known to gamers as "campaigning." Gaming lore has it that an aswciate editor of a leading gamer maga­·zine, Dragon [creators of D&D], has been leading a campaign of D&D for the past 15 years.

"In role-playing you're supposed to be acting and speaking as a certain character, and that takes a lot of concentration," said gamer Bud Roberts.

So, why would a student join a club like this?

"It's a social activity," said Morgan. "If you can overlook the religious fanatics and bad pr~ certain games like D&D have received, you will see that these games are played by intelligent people."

According to club members, gamers tend to do better in school than the average stu­dent because games exercise the mind.

"Games teach you strategy, and strategy helps you throughout life," said gamer Scott Snodgrass. "I enjoy playing because it gives me a challenge. I like to find the loopholes in the rules."

Every spring, the Auraria Gamers host a convention. For the last four years it's been called MiSConception and has drawn some 400 gamers.

"It goes in cycles," said Morgan. "For three or four years there's a lot of members, and then it dwindles down to five or six membel'S."

Currently, 20 members strong, the Gamers enjoy many club benefits. For an annual fee

10 "lTHE .i . METROPOLITAN-

OP/ED Stranger Than Fiction

By Chad Morris

I couldn't help noticing that aside from all the con­struction, walking around this campus is like walking through a living Levi's 501 commercial.

Everywhere you look there are the poor, .unfortunate victims of an advertising executive's wet dream: a kaleidescope of blue, stonewashed, frosted and black denim with just the right amount of pseudo-hip dia­logue to go with it.

In short, I think this whole advertising thing is getting out of hand.

Now, I don't want to sound too ungrateful. I mean without all these ads, who would know when the best sales are? And, once we had the product firmly in hand - and our money safely in theirs - how else would we know what sort of lifestyle went with the product?

As always, some of the worst offenders are beer commercials. I started worrying when I read an inter­view with movie director Stanley Kubrick in which he said he really liked the Michelob commercials. You know, the ones with Phil Collins singing his standard pop gibberish amidst two-second shots of sleekly clad models having the time of their lives drinking beer.

Of course, all of this may seem very trite. I'm certain someone out there is saying: "Oh great, another column about advertising ... big deal."

I say the same thing all the time. Everyone claims to hate advertising. They hate commercials; they hate previews before the movie; they hate billboards, and especially [my personal favorite] those ads in the paper that look like news stories.

Fine, everyone hates advertising. But how many of you bought the clothes you're wearing because of an advertisement? Or your perfume or cologne? Or the beer, wine cooler or wine you drink?

How many of you have bought a product because you like the product or you liked the image that was presented along with it?

But it's hard, isn't it? The people in advertisements look like they're having so much fun. If you wear Levi's Dockers, it foilows that you will spend your work days sitting around a table discussing nothing in particular and making tons of money to go buy more Dockers. It doesn't sound too bad to me, either, but I wouldn't buy the damn pants, because they're cut all wrong for me.

Folks, we've really got to do something about this before we become characters in a cyberpunk novel. We can't say "blender" without including the brand name.

Yet, even as you read this, providing you've gotten this far, the advertising people are dreaming up new ways to take your money. Techniques like micro­marketing are already in effect. Micro-marketing targets very specific groups, like minorities, women, teen-agers and, yes, even our children. They offer the same pro­ducts to different demographic groups using different ad campaigns.

There's even a plan to use satellites in orbit to beam advertisements down to grocery stores. that will have TV monitors mounted on the grocery carts. Imagine the convenience, though. Just as you pass the Listerine, a message comes on telling you about gingivitis, "an often painless gum disease" that you can cure by using, that's right, Listerine. Lucky you caught that ad in tirn,e, eh?

Unfortunately, I don't have any pat answers for a problem that probably doesn't have a cure. I could suggest never buying anything that you see in an ad, but then we'd all be naked, hungry and sober.

I would, however, like to see restrictions similar to those on cigarette and hard-liquor ads. I'd like to limit the places someone could advertise a product. And I'd really like to eliminate previews on videotapes.

But I see by looking at my bright yellow Gruen diving watch that it's time to turn my Brother typewriter off, pull on my Keds and Official Batman sweatshirt and grab a Lowenbrau out of the Frigidaire. After all , tonight is kind of special.

LETTERS

Kleg defends statements Editor,

During the last Senate meeting, I was accused of making racist remarks in a class last February. The allegations were put before the Senate; however, the president of the Senate found it fit to deny me the right to respond to the allegations.

Last February in an MSC class, the lack of black police officers in the black gang areas was discussed. To the student next to me I remarked, "They [the Denver Police Department] are probably doing it for a stupid reason such as you cannot see black police officers at night." The intent behind this remark was to point out the stupidity of the Denver Police Department for allowing a problem in the black community to be "solved" by white police officers who have no know­ledge or appreciation of black culture and problems.in the black community. In fact, the only things the white officers bring into the situation are biases about the black community. This is not to say that whites should not work in black areas. Rather, whites should work in black areas to overcome biases. However, black members of the Denver Police Department should be assigned to work with the white officers in order to help them understand black culture in a manner that would

not result in undue bias and hostility in white officer/ black community relations.

I think that the students of Metropolitan State Col­lege should become aware of this ASMSC Senator's track record on race relations. Durina the fall of 1988 this Senator authored an affirmative action bill that was designed to recruit minority students by the ASMSC Senate to serve in Student Government. On August 16, 1989, at a Senate meeting this Senator expressed concern about cultural bias in assessment testing. In fact it was suggested that an outside agency examine the new tests for any such bias.

I find it unfortunate that the comment I made in Feb-. ruary was taken out of context and distorted to be made to sound like a racist remark. I apologize to anyone who misunderstood the remark to have been racist in nature and for any grief possibly suffered. As a member of the Club Funding Committee, I look forward to funding many good and constructive racial awareness pro­grams by the Black Student Alliance. I just hope they direct their energies in fighting bigotry where it exists rather than finding it where it does not exist.

-Joel Kleg ASMSC Senator

BSA disputes Kleg's claims Editor,

In reading Mr. Kleg's letter to the editor concerning the "alleged racist remarks," I found myself either laughing in disbelief or hissing in disgust.

Come on Joel, get off it! Quit trying to sugarcoat your racist remarks as a misconstrued desire to understand the black race. In case you've forgotten, I was there. As I recall, the question asked by the instructor was "Why, in a predominantly black neighborhood, are white police officers assigned to deal with the gangs instead of black officers?" To which you replied, "Because you can't see them [black officers) at night." Don't you think that the members of the Black Student Alliance have been black long enough to know racism when they see it? Don't tell us where to find racism; IT finds us!

You hint to your record as a Senator in helping to improve conditions for minority students. That all looks

very well on paper, but when was the last time you talked with them? When was the last time you attended a BSA or MECHA meeting? I believe you are very much in need of enlightenment if you believe gangs are part of black culture.

Why would you spend the school's money to bring in an outside agency to tell you about the cultural biases at Metro? All you have to do is ask the minority stu­dents. Ask ME. I'll tell you for free!

In closing, you stated that you "look forward to fund­ing many good and constructive racial awareness pro­grams." Be careful, Joel, this time I have it in writing.

- Lisa Calderon Vice President - B1ack Student Alliance

Editor's Note: The Metropolitan does not divulge in advance contents of letters to the editor. Ms. Calderon obtained a copy of Mr. Kleg's letter elsewhere.

Martin welcomes new students Editor,

Greetings, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the students to the third week of classes.

Now that you have carved your paths through the rubble of Auraria construction, and a state of confusion looms ever present in the air, it is time to acquaint yourselves with Student Government.

I am Kelly M. Martin, the president of student govern­ment. You can find me in room 340C of the Student Union, or at Extension 3256. Bill Jermance is the vice president of Student Government, and may also be contacted in the same office. There is a 25-member Senate to represent you, and a five-member judicial board to keep us all in check. Various campus-wide committees require student representation, and from time to time openings in the Senate and other branches of government will need to be filled by students just like you. Look for an advertisement on pg. 6 of this issue of The Metropolitan. I encourage everyone who wants to

get involved to do so.

The summer has been spent organizing Student Government, and building communication with faculty and administration that had once been torn down. The weekend of August 18th Student Government held a working retreat in Winter Park to familiarize new members with the system, and acquaint ourselves further with the administration of the college. As a sidelight we spent $1,700dollars less than was allotted. This government believes in saving you money.

We know you have concerns, and Student Govern­ment is the place to voice those concerns. I do urge you to get involved, and when you meet a member of ASMSC tell them what you think. We can make a difference together.

Let's have a great year!

- Kelly Mary Martin ASMSC President

EDITORIAL

-Stigma of racism threatens everyone Racism at Auraria is in the news again. Perhaps Joel

Kleg's statement was genuinely bigoted; perhaps it is an innocent remark wrongly interpreted. Only Kleg knows the truth.

But isn't it interesting, this problem we all have with racism? Or the iack of it? Or people thinking we are racists even though we're not?

I mean - we're not. are we?

Last summer, I took Introduction to Sociology. Like most intro classes, this was to be a survey touching on subjects like sexual roles, interpersonal relationships and-so forth. But an interesting thing happened in that class - we only talked about one thing - race rela­tions. Specifically the plight of the Hispanic in today's America.

Now you're probably asking yourself: is that really all they talked about, or is he just saying that because he's a racist?

By the way, the instructor was Hispanic. So that's it, you're thinking now, he didn't like the

instructor because he was Hispanic. He is definitely a racist.

When Spike Lee's film "Do The Right Thing" came away from the Cannes Film Festival with no awards, Lee was quoted as saying, "They're always looking for a golden white boy to put a crown on."

.c.. Could that be racist, even though it was said by a black man about a white man?

Isn't it possible the film that beat out "Do The Right Thing" was just a better movie?

Could Spike Lee be saying racism prevented him

from winning just to keep a nasty bruise off his ego? At the end of the semester, I spoke to some of the

people in the sociology class. We talked about what we felt were problems with the class: things that went beyond its limited subject matter. Things like: hard-to­follow lectures, vague test questions and the instruc­tor's demand that we buy a poetry book he'd written. When someone mentioned complaining to the depart­ment head, everybody else just shook their heads.

"It wouldn't do any good," someone said. "They'd just say you were being a racist and complaining about the class because of the professor."

These people were afraid to voice a complaint about the school they pay to attend, because they might be called racist.

Last year, the editor of The Metropolitan was con­fronted by members of the Black Student Alliance who accused her of ignoring "black issues" in the paper. She had to spend well over an hour in her office with them going over the paper, issue by issue, and pointing out "black" stories.

So does that mean I have to classify all this year's stories by color? Do I need an equal mix of "black" and "brown" stories to offset the "white?" And what if the Lithuanians on campus don't feel they are being fairly represented?

I resent being told I have to decide what stories are newsworthy_ based on how black or white or puce they are, and I'm sure the judges in Cannes resented being told what directors to reward based on what "color" their movies are.

Roy Innis, the New York attorney/black activist who became prominent after the Tawana Brawley incident - and who later started the fight in which Geraldo Rivera's nose was broken - q is a good example of a person who takes racial activism too far the other way. He embraced Tawana Brawley [who claimed she was raped and beaten by whites in New York in 1988] in front of the cameras and cried ttiat racism was alive and well and living in the hearts of white people everywhere. Then he hit the talk show circuit, to take up the black struggle coast to coast.

Actions like these do more harm to race relations than good. It is unfortunate that Tawana Brawley was unwilling to talk to the police so an investigation could be launched into the incident. Maybe we would know what really happened instead of what Innis and Bill Cosby [who flew to New York to issue a statement on race relations from Brawley's home] tell us happened.

No one likes to have their beliefs and values ques­tioned. No one enjoys being forced to examine them­selves and see some things they don't want to come to terms with. Unfortunately, those who truly are bigoted don't have stickers on their foreheads so everyone else can easily identify them.

So we'll never know who's really racist. Was it the judges at the Cannes Film Festival, or Spike Lee? Is it the instructor of a Sociology 100 class at MSC, or his students?

And this year, when some perceived slight on the part of this paper brings a mob of the offended to my door, who will be the bigot then? Will it be me, or someone who assumes that because I'm white I must be a racist?

Festival's diversity satisfied all 'Taste' Jodie Skinner Photo Editor

Anything a person could possibly want to see and do could be found in downtown Denver's Civic Center Park this weekend.

.. A Taste of Colorado," an annual event in its fifth year, proved to be a fun-filled time once again for all who came. Crowds of 100,000 or more swarmed the park every day. Monday, Labor Day, there seemed to be less people, but no less fun.

For most, "A Taste of Colorado" means food from all over the world centralized in one area for a sample of what Denver has to offer.

But this four-day event over Labor Day weekend was much more than that There was free entertainment for all: concerts, mimes, clowns, a romp through the water and, of course, people-watching.

For a few dollars more, people could take daring rides on one of many carnival rides, have their faces painted, buy balloons made into all sorts of shapes or purchase hand­crafted items from Colorado artists.

Doug and Cindy Hahn and family attended last year and said they really liked it. They arrived this year full of anticipation.

"We just got here, but it should be a lot of fun," said Cindy Hahn.

"The pizza is really good," said Steve Stanford who attended with his two daugh­ters, Rachel and Jennifer.

"It is crowded," said Stanford, "but I expected that"

When asked how she does it, Lawrence replied, "A little bit of practice and a whole lot of magic."

Music of all types weaved through the park - from the more famous Kool and the Gang and Juice Newton to smaller local bands. Four stages kept crowds singing and dancing all day for four days.

The Greek comer provided entertain­ment in the form of a belly dancer, whose gyrations awed men, women and children alike.

Student Activities September 8, 1989 _

• • Jazz up coming year • •

Carrie A. Vogel The Metropolitan

If you were thinking the only thing Metro has to offer you is a chance at a degree, think again.

This year Metro will offer students a chance to hear jazz and classical music, attend a student lecture series, socialize at parties and picnics, and view a film series -all under the direction of the Student Acti­vities Office.

Yolanda Ericksen, the director of student activities, wants students to volunteer, get involved with her staff and the events.

Student Activities is a service meant to complement students' academic experience on campus. It's a program that lends itself to students' involvement through their partici­pation in programming, through the clubs and organil.ations, and through attendance at special events.

"I feel that as a program it exists because we believe that students need a holistic expe­rience. They need to be a part of the college, not just go to Metro."

Student Activities is just one of 18 pro­grams that are funded by student fees. Stu­dents pay up to $41 per semester to support student services, and the fee cannot be waived. From these fees, the Student Affairs Board allocates a budget to each program.

Student Activities directs Metro's clubs and organizations, and directs and stages campus events in cooperation with UCO andCCD.

"We plan campus events such as havmg bands in The Mission, picnics on the plau and parties in the Student Union. One of our largest components is our student lecture series," Ericksen said.

"We have nationally known speakers and local speakers that have topics that would interest students. We also have such things as a classical music series and special events with guests such as comedian Paul Rod­riguez."

This year's theme for Student Activities is "Visions For Tomorrow."

Ericksen plays several roles: administers the budget, oversees all the programming and is an adviser for Student Government.

"I am very interested in making sure that students are aware that we exist. We're very industrious in putting on what we feel is the best program package. We try to look at the traditional student, the nontraditional stu- , dent and the student who may be doing evening classes.

"We really try hard to find out what stu­dents want. At the beginning of each seme­ster out at the tables in the Student Union, we hand out surveys to students and have them indicate what they want. We make a real concerted effort to get feedback from students."

Examples of some events scheduled for September are the jazz fusion band Dotsero, appearing in The Mission on the 6th, and a welcome back party on the 15th with the band Innovation playing. On Sept. 21, a Mel Brooks Film Festival begins. The festival will run four weeks and student admismon is $1. The author of the new book "The New Americans," Ulli Steitz.er, will speak to stu­dents on Sept 27.

Ericksen said she wants students to under­stand the value of participating in student activities.

"We know how to produce a show, we know exactly what goes on in terms of pro­ducing a show. I don't think we know a , whole lot less than Barry Fey."

She's looking for people who are inter­ested in doing anything from cleaning off bulletin boards, to setting up a stage, to escorting the guest lecturers around.

Students interested in volunteering may contact Ericksen or Dennis Bryan at 556-2595.

"I think what I like most about this job is that there is so much flexibility and your imagination is it You get to meet celebrities; you get to pal around with them; you get to_ eat with them." concluded Ericksen. -=-

ARTS Women's art makes its mark at DAM Jeff Masias The Metropolitan

A first-time national exhibition honoring women artists will be showing at the Denver Art Museum until Sept. 10.

The exhibit, "Making Their Mark," pre­sents the talents of 90 artists and is repre­sented by 150 works of painting, sculpture, photography and video.

"Making Their Mark" shows well the talents of women and how they have moved

into the mainstream of the art world. One visitor commented that the showing

was long overdue. "It's taken women a long time to prove

themselves worthy of being able to do anything. With a showing like this it proves women can do it all."

The pieces themselves state that these artists have made a definite mark on the art world A world once dominated by male artists will surely be known as something of the past after this showing. · The collection as a whole shows a vast array of works that are psychologically and autobiographically charged. In some in­stances the observer can feel the artists personalities emanating from their work.

All of the works are good, but some are truly spectacular.

In "Wheel of Fortune," Audrey Flack presents illusions of life and death. This piece in particular seems to represent what life is all about - a giant wheel of fortune.

Another outstanding piece is the oil on linen painting, "Salmon Run." In this work artist Melissa Miller shows the beauty of

nature captured in the form of animals and water.

The clay sculptors, such as Alice Aycock and Nancy Graves, present different con­structional realms that must be seen to be appreciated.

Other pieces of weaving, fabrics, and col­lages of steel and tile offer a surprising sense of realism.

There are 150 pieces on display, each offering something for everyone. Feelings ranging from sadness to ecstasy can be felt while looking at the works. No one should be disappointed after seeing this show.

After viewing this collection it will be easy to real~ why each of these artists have made a mark. A mark not to be forgotten.

The exhibit is Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday JO a.m. to .5 p.m.

Admission for the exhibit is free to museum members. For non-members. adu/Js pay $3, . children over age .5, and seniors age 6.5 and over pay $1 . .50. D

Busy student big fan of the artist's life Gayle Neyman Copy Editor

Vialpando was born in the tiny New Mexico village of Questa [population 608], near Taos, and many of her paintings and other artwork have a southwestern motif.

"I do what I like, I don't try to imitate anyone," Vialpando said. "I do [paint] women a lot, because it's what I know."

Vialpando returned to Metro as an art major in June after an absence of 13 years.

getting that vital aspect all artists yearn for: exposure. She's had exhibits here on campus

' at CCD and will be exhibiting here again in the future. ·

While some of her professors might say

-

A lot of MSC students work full time, but Gloria Vialpando is a full-time student, a single parent, works in the Financial Aid office, and, in what spare time she has left, prepares her artwork for exhibit

Vialpando has noticed many changes since she last attended cl~ at Metro. She thinks the campus is beautiful now.

that there is something wrong with a par­ticular drawing or painting, for Vialpando .. there are no mistakes in art

Vialpando presently is working mostly with watercolor. But her watercolor has a unique angle. After she paints the picture and while the paper is still wet, she folds it into a fan. The results are vivid, decorative fans suitable for hanging that Vialpando hopes to market as Christmas gifts.

"They can be refolded for mailing, but they are really meant to be decorative," Vialpando said. Adding, with an artist's love for her art, that she hesitates to tell people the fans are refoldable. She's afraid it might damage them.

"I'd settle for this [the construction) any time; we used to have to run around all over the place."

Even though she is so busy, she doesn't worry about burnout, She said her art gives her a chance to renew herself.

"Sometimes I feel [burned out), but then I go rest and then I go back to it," she said. "It doesn't bother me. I feel more creative."

"It's what you feel, you know?" she said. During her break from MSC, Vialpando

held various jobs. But the one she liked the most was the one that involved her art -doing free-lance greeting cards for Channel 2. She said they were even advertised on television.

Even though this diminutive dynamo has . three full-time jobs, she's anxious to add to

one of them - she'd like to get a lot of orders for Christmas gift fans this year. You have to believe her when, eyes sparkling, she says:

"I like a challenge." D

Vialpando works in several different art media: oil, watercolor, pen and ink and bas even designed a T-shirt. She's interested in working in many different media in the future. But her main concern right now is

Senior Jami Cobb put the Roadrunners up 1-0 in the first half when she nailed the ball into the upper right-hand corner of the opponent's goal from 32 yards out. MSC added to that when senior Tonja Ridgeway won out in a scramble in front of the net, to give Metro a 2-0 lead.

Men's soccer drops two Scott Moore The Metropolitan

Metro State Men's soccer coach Dennis Daly is looking for a few good men.

Hit hard by midsummer casualties that left his troops thin on the front line, Daly was thrust into the head coaching position

.- when incumbent coach Bill Chambers was forced to take a leave of absence for a year. It has left the Roadrunners scrambling.

Last weekend the men had two losses pinned on them in games in which Daly felt MSC had outplayed the opposition. A 2-1

~ setback at the hands of Colorado School of Mines was followed by a 3-2 overtime loss to Rockhurst College (Missouri) on Labor Day. Despite being 0-2 Daly was pleased with the effort of his team.

One player in particular - Senior Joe

Okoh - gave his coach something to smile about. He tallied all three goals over the weekend for the inexperienced Roadrunners.

Against Mines, MSC found themselves down early when over-aggressive defense resulted in a penalty kick. Okoh tried to bring his team back but some sloppy play and bad timing never gave them a chance. Daly felt that Monday's game would be a chance to get one back.

"We weren't ready at all Monday. We were still asleep when we took the field," he said. Rockhurst, the ninth ranked team in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, took advantage of MSC's sleep­walking to jump on top 2-0 before the 10-minute mark. Then, after Okoh made it 2-1 , he caught a defensive mistake and stole the breakaway in which Tonya Pacheco scored goalie out of position. A Rockhurst player used his hands to stop Okoh's kick, but

Okoh was awarded a penalty shot and made good on it to tie the score at 2-2 with four

minutes to go. In overtime a defensive lapse cost MSC the victory, 3-2.

"It was a slow motion goal that was a real stake to the heart. It really hurt," Daly said.

Although it's been a rough start, Daly thinks things will click soon.

"The make-up of our kids will prevent that," Daly said, referring to a lo~ of confi­dence.

Other players who will be expected to fill leadership roles are Jim Seamans and Tom Vermilye. Daly said it will be about four or five games to get things clicking, but the leadership is there.

MSC will be at home Saturday, Sept. 9 vs. Colorado Christian College before hitting the road for four straight games. o
