Students stand in line waiting for assistance from the financial aid office.

Student loans delayed by law J. Featherstone The Metropolitan

Freshmen and transfer students na­tionwide are feeling the crunch of the federal government's legislation regu­lating student loans this year.

Cheryl Judson, MSCD director of Financial Aid, said the new law has af­fected approximately one-third of MSCD's loan recipients. f .... · ...

"Incoming freshmen and transfer students with less than 30 credit hours or noGPAarenowrequiredtowait30days to pick up Stafford and Supplemental Student Loan checks," Judson said.

The focus of the regulation is to stop students from defaulting on studentloans and dropping out of school.

"The government feels if students are not allowed to pick up the funds until halfway through the semester, more stu­dents will stay in school and the govern­ment will save interest on loans," Judson said .

Douglas Futch, an MSCD fmancial aid counselor, said the office sent notifi­cation to those affected in advance, "as soon as the student has been identified and the loan is certified."

Futch said many students have been inconvenienced by the new system and don't know who is to blame.

During the Reagan administration, the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Act was set up to eliminate the deficit. The act laid out specifications on wheFt to cut the budget across the board fO"r all government agencies, in­cluding financial aid.

In December 1990, the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act was en­acted after Congress overspent the bud­get. The act was an attempt to save the financial aid budget by making changes before Gramm-Rudman went into effect.

Judson said the regulation should be targeted at schools with default rates of 15 to 20 percent.

"This regulation is not effective at MSCD," Judson said. "We have a 6.6 percent default rate - lower than a lot of banks."

Judson said the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators has lobbyists in W asbington trying to help Congress understand that the regu­lation is not helping schools with a low default rate.

"We're being effective at getting ad­justments and killing bills as well as initiating bills that would help students," Judson said. a

Financial aid phone system causes delays for students Suzanne Hardy The Metropolitan

Students who are frustrated because they couldn't check their personal status when they called the new 24-hour financial aid hotline were apparently not getting far enough into the menu to have their questions answered.

Some students complained during the first week of classes that calling the Financial Aid Office's new hotline (534-6501) which came on line in August was just as bad as getting a busy signal .

James Jones, an MSCD student senator, said he "just hung up. I still bad to come down here (to the office)." Kevin Vrba, an MSCD student, said that when he called the numbei:. he couldn't find out how much money he was receiving or when. That's why he was standing in line at the Financial Aid Office.

Several other MSCD students also said the system was a "waste of time" because after wading through the menus, they never found out how to speak with a person .

According to Brenda Sebastian, a financial aid coun­selor, students must access the mini-menu first before getting the chance to speak to a person and inquire about their personal status.

The procedure is confusing because option "5" (the mini-menu) states that students can check their specific status. However, once callers listen to the mini-menu and pick the "2" option, they must still listen to a message about ACT family financial aid statements and get past the part when the system asks for a name and address to send ACT information. When the system requests the information, the student must press the "star" key after the tone until the voice says to press "O" and wait for either a busy signal or ringing, when a work-study intern will pick up the phone and answer questions.

Some students complained that after spending several minutes coping with "unclear" instructions, they still ended up with a busy signal.

Others said they never got to the point of having the chance to speak with a person because they were confused.

According to Sebastian, students should not get a busy signal when calling the system. The system has 12 lines enabling students to get through. Even though the line is handling an average of 85 calls per hour, students should be able to access the line, Sebastian said. She said the peak times for use were from 8 to 9 a.m., 12-1 p.m. and 4-5 p.m. Stu9ents wanting to check their specific status should try to call at other times. Students may have gotten a busy signal the ftrst week of the system's operation (the week of Aug. 7) because only four lines were in use, Sebastian said.

Besides enabling students to check their personal sta­tus, the new system gives general information about im­portant deadlines, MSCD's academic progress policy and applying for loans and scholarships, and allows students to

send transcripts to other schools. The hotline was funded after the registration system at

MSCD was replaced. The replacement cost $180,000, but did include upgrades in financial aid and the business office. Students are now paying a $4 registration fee, instead of last year' s $2, to pay for the systems a

Public Safety News Parking lot chase: Auraria

Public Safety officers chased two men through campus parking lots last week, which resulted in one of them being ar­rested.

The suspect, Clyde Vasquez, 27, of 4839 Cook St., Denver, was charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication. He was placed in the custody of the Den­ver police.

The incident began Aug. 28 when four APS officers observed two subjects in parking lot E "moving around a vehicle," a report said.

Officers decided to investigate. As the two officers approached, the

suspect and the other man ran west through the parking lot, and were then pursued by the four officers, the report said.

One of the officers, Robert Malafronte, who was nearest to Vasquez, hollered "Police. Stop!" Malafronte said he hollered

- -twice before the suspect stopped running 'and walked toward him.

Malafronte said he "ordered the suspect (to drop) to the ground."

The suspect allegedly screamed something in Spanish and Malafronte said he then used "force" to get him to the ground.

Officers found fresh pry marks on the truck-bed tool box and a 6" pair of pliers in the truck bed.

Vasquez did not give officers the name of the other man who eluded police.

Campus theft: An Auraria

staff member reported a theft of $80 from his wallet and named a suspect. APS re­leased the information on the case, but kept the suspect's identity confidential because he had not been charged.

Douglas C. Montgomery, assistant director of Sports Information and Pro­motions for Auraria put his wallet in his desk drawer when he came back from lunch at 3 p.m. He said he usually doesn't carry that much money. but had cashed a traveller's check moments earlier.

Montgomery left his office for about 10 minutes, allowing a temporary em­ployee to use his telephone, the report said.

Montgomery said the cash in his wallet was missing when be went to the store about an hour later.

When asked why he put his wallet in bis desk, Montgomery explained that he was wearing sweatpants without pockets.

cording to APS reports, Denver police told APS officers that they saw a man break a bus window at Colfax and Grant and then ride the bus to 10th A venue and Larimer Street. Denver police gave APS officers a description of the clothes the man was wearing - a white shirt with blue pinstripes and blue jeans.

APS officers notified Denver police that a "subject" bad been located in 9th Street Park. A Denver officer positively identified the "subject" as the number one suspect

According to APS officer John Van Dyke, "The suspect matched the overall description given by Denver police, and the time factor matched, so we detained him for Denver."

NEWS Constitutional changes urged Policies under fire; Senate considers attendance incentives

Met Staff The Metropolitan

Two student leaders last week scrutinized some "unclear" student government policies and decided it was time for some "minor changes."

A summer filled with accusations of vio­lating the student government constitution has prompted President Chip Wiman to call for a constitution convention, a seminar of sorts where the student Senate and others make policy changes in the constitution.

"If we went by the way the constitution was set up now, we

Gym reopening almost concrete Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan

Despite a few construction delays, the addition to the Physical Education/Recre­ation building is supposed to be finished in the middle of September - nearly three months behind schedule and with a few budget cuts.

Deadlines for construction of the addition also weren't met, but Dick Feuerborn, the director of the building for AHEC, said he is satisfied with the project.

"A lot of (the delays) had to do with unforseen problems," Feuerborn, said.

Underground telephone conduits and a sewer, which was not located where it was ' planned, caused most of the delays, Feuerborn said.

"We're right on our budget, but had to scale back," he said.

couldn't spend anything until the Senate ratified this year's budget," Wiman said.

The student government budget is usually ratified for the next year by the preceding Senate and acted upon during the next fall semester, actions that in themselves violate the constitution, Wiman said.

This also creates a problem during the summer, Wiman said, because the constitu­tion does not require the Senate to meet during that time.

Also, according to the constitution, the president cannot act upon any legislation without Senate approval.

Wiman said that the recently completed campus-wide recycling program with AHEC would not have been possible to do had he waited for the fall semester with hopes of trying to muster a quorum of the Senate.

The changes he is proposing in the con­stitution would be "minor," he said.

For one, student government would be required to meet during the summer.

"It should be mandatory that the senators meet at least once during the summer," Wiman said.

Wiman's suggested changes also include limiting the Judicial Board appointments to one year instead of two and clearing up some

"poor wording" in the constitution. In 1989, student government tried to hold

a constitution convention but was unsuccessful. At the time, the reasoning to change the con­stitution was that it was not work­able on a positive level.

Student Sen. Charles

Buchanan also has introduced legislation that could create some changes in student government .

In an effort to provide an incentive for senators to attend meetings, Buchanan's bill would establish a food-card program where senators would be allowed to purchase up to $4 worth of food at the Student Union. The bill sets a cap for the cost of the program at $2,400 for the year.

Buchanan has delayed a vote on the bill, which was introduced last week and held, until Oct. 9 so a Senate debate on the pro­posal can be aired campus-wide on ACTV,

A version of the Statue of Liberty, complete with chains and a cigarette torch, is the newest addition in the Student Union. Students have stood and stared, then left perplexed. Although it is not a permanent addition, the statue is there to signify the Student Health Center's achievement in helping people to quit smoking. The health center has received two first-place awards for its Smoking Cessation Program: one first place in higher education in Colorado; and the other for first place in the Rocky Mountain Regionals where they bested eight states.

Parking still a problem despite new garage Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

Parking season is now open and there are a lot of hunters out there looking for just the right spot. They may not get that close to their intended spot, but there are a couple of incentives to park at lots a little further from campus.

Nomoredecals?Thisisthetruth.Auraria's routine of allowing summer students to park without decals has carried through the fall semester and seems to be a permanent ad­dition this year.

Many of the hut attendants working in campus lots agree that the first week of the

fall semester always seems the busiest in terms of parking.

"There are a lot of people on the campus, but we have yet to fill all the parking on campus at one time," said Mark Gallagher, head of the parking division at AHEC.

One of the busiest parking areas on cam­pus appears to be the Parking and Transpor­tation Center, the garage located west of the Student Union bordering 7th Street. The PTC has been filling at least once a day since the beginning of the semester.

"I expect the garage to fill by about 9:30 a.m. every day during the semester," Gallagher said.

The garage has 1,725 spaces available for parking.

A new feature is lot D, located just north of the parking garage, which will use debit cards only. Debit cards are like credit cards for parking. They can be purchased for $1 and are reusable. One advantage to the card is that the money can't be spent on anything else once it is put on the card.

Lot E, located on Walnut Street just west of 7th Ave., has a fee of $1.50 and is also using a new feature.

The lot now honors in-and-out parking. With the regular rate, a car can leave during the day and come back without paying for parking when entering again. A person wish­ing to use this service must ask the hut attendant for a pass. This is the only lot with this program. 0

the campus television. The debate will be held in Room 330 of the Student Union.

According to the proposal, food cards would be distributed to senators who at­tended the entire session of each student government meeting. Buchanan said he had the feeling that the senators are planning this semester to offer themselves some kind of incentive for their participation in student government. MSCD student senators are not paid.

"In a way, it will keep something more expensive from happening," Buchanan said. He explained that the senators could opt to create legislation allowing for parking privi­leges or free bus fare for themselves - ideas that have been kicking around for a couple of years but have never been passed.

Deadline eliminations hinder opening from Gym page 3

A couple of these "scale backs" have resulted in the the lobby being constructed "a lot" smaller than what was planned, and a basement that was not constructed on the north side of the building.

Other cuts affected some gymnasium equipment, such as weights for the new conditioning room. Staging and light dim­ming capabilities were also hampered in the budget cuts, he said.

The items were cut with the idea that they would be constructed eventually.

"All our decisions to take things out was to be able to add them back in," Feuerborn said. "When faced with that kind of cost

cutting, all the cuts were painful." With collecting the student bond fee,

which is $13.50 per student, per semester, and staying within the budget, AHEC could develop a reserve which may generate enough funds to pay for adding the uncompleted items by the end of the year, Feuerborn said.

Locker room security and monitoring of the students was one area that was not cut from the budget.

"We are monitoring the locker rooms and have more security for the women's side," he said. "Someone will be within shouting distance."

Feuerborn said it is hoped that the gym will be completed on time and within the

Photojournalist Eugene Richards captures a startling view of poverty, violence and the drug culture in his photographic essays "The Knife and Gun Club" and "Drug Wars" on exhibit at the Emmanuel Gallery through

"I want people to look at my photo­graphs and get angry," Richards, 47, is quoted as saying in the September/ October issue

The controversial "knife and gun club," a term dubbed for the hospital by the DGH medical staff, depicts the alarming reality of stabbing and gunshot victims.

"The Knife and Gun Club" collection that began as an assignment for Geo magazine in 1980 has been published in a book by Atlan­tic Monthly Press. The assignment spurred Richards to pursue his niche in attempting to effect social change through his work.

Emmanuel's upper gallery adds to the theme with works by Barbara Millman and Steve Nickerson, both of whom have been influenced by Richards' approach.

Jeff Hersch's photos reflect a glimpse into his seven years in Nepal and India, and Sally Blaser depicts the perseverance and dignity of Guatemalan people in the face of seemingly overwhelming difficulties. "Eugene taught me that photographing

people in only emotionally acceptable mo­ments is to be dishonest to them and to myself," said Millman, whose photos ad­dress problems of the Nicaraguan Indians.

While the exhibit may not be for the faint of heart, its harrowing reality is a tribute to the impact of truthful, uncompromising pho­tojournalism. The result is a powerful expose of the darker side of contemporary society. Detroit Free Press photographer Steven

EDITORIAL

Pettiness has no place on campus Lawrence Jones Editor

A college campus is often referred to as a microcosm of the real world. It is thought of as a training ground for the students before they enter the difficulties of life. If this is true, than there are those at Metro who are training for a life of pettiness, misery and unhappiness.

Nothing in this world is ever perfect, nor does everything go the way that we want it. Not here at college and not out in the world. That's the way the game is played.

Accepting imperfections is coward­ice. Struggling to change the world so that it may be a better place is admirable.

Misusing personal authority and power, crying like a child who can't get every­thing its own way, slandering others be­cause they won't cooperate with per­sonal views, lashing out like a problem adolescent, and shouting down others because they won't listen to a personal version of the "TRUTH" is petty, repre­hensible and disgusting.

There are many here on campus who constantly claim they are trying to do things for ''the good of the students." Actually, what becomes painfully clear, is that they are struggling for their own personal aggrandizement, power and agenda. These people couldn't care less about the students, they only care about themselves and their own petty desires and gripes. This is not limited to Metro; every school has its own who care only for their own benefit, often at the ex­pense of the students' interests.

These people are sad, unfortunate

and infuriating. They accuse the administration of the

college of being self-serving. Their own self-serving hypocrisy turns the stom­ach.

They battle against the imagined, or real, evils of the administration like mod­ern day Don Quixotes, tilting at the wind­mill. Unfortunately, they do it with far too little class, style or humor. These people take themselves so seriously that they cannot conceive of their being wrong, annoying or downright dishonest.

Injustices should never be ignored. If the administration is acting irresponsibly or to the detriment of the students, then action should be taken and battles should be fought. But if battles are to be fought, let them be honorable and have the best interests of the students truly in the fore.

We must all strive for victories-not only for ourselves, but also for those who need the help we can give them. This

includes everyone on this campus, big and small. There are battles to be fought that have true meaning and the victories that come from them are inspiring. Changes do have to be made for every­one, and they can only be made through our selfless use of our individual talents to help others to their own victories.

The smallest of victories, made by those from whom we expect none, these are the greatest triumphs of mankind, and what we all should strive for.

If all you wish to do is cry like a child because you can't get your own way, abuse power vested in you by others to further your own interests and feed your own desire for power over others, slan­der others and engage in petty vandal­ism and arguments over the most trivial of things that have no true and lasting effect on our world or the lives of the students ... then get the hell off this campus!

A little constructive criticism: let Auraria rest

Todd Burgess Assistant Editor

On HBO's "Fraggle Rock" there live loveable muppet-creatures that spend all of their waking moments building.

The Doozers, as these little blue crit­ters are known, have a compulsion to construct, construct, construct.

In case you didn't know it, a couple of Doozers have escaped TV-land and tainted the drinking water of some AH EC higher-ups.

Perhaps in your busy three-part-time­job-18-credit-hour schedule typical of MSCD students, you haven't noticed that something is always under construction at Auraria.

Well it is. Freshmen and sophomores, here's

where you've missed out. There used to be a street that ran between the Student Union and library. Seriously.

In fact the roadrunner became our school's mascot after numerous jokes

·about the roadrunner-like sprint it took to make it across campus safely.

Crossing Lawrence Street was like role-playing the video game Frogger, except in the Auraria version you were only given one life, and the cars-driven by people who had another job to get to - went much, much faster.

Then someone decided to pull the plug on Frogger. Doozier-thought dic­tated that Lawrence Street become a grassway, complete with trees and side­walks. And the changes were made.

Later Doozier-thought dictated that Auraria make a parking garage, add a

black fence around its athletic fields and expand its gym. Again the changes were made and the campus was improved.

My concern isn't with the changes themselves, because all have made the campus safer and more attractive, but with the fact that the construction never seems to end.

£1_~ ~ ~ f fJ t I -1 } - £

I e,f I J / 0 I

~~ ~~#~~ It would be nice to just once walk

across the campus and see that nothing is being built. There is something poetic about completeness, something nice about knowing that what you see is not a rough draft, but in polished, sparkling final form.

But Auraria is continuing to expand,

as I expect it will for a great long time. More people means more buildings.

Perhaps there will be a brief pause between the finish of the new gym and the start of the Tivoli make-over. If so, I'll take the moment and cherish it. Although I know there will be a few Doozers with itchy fingers.

Coalition questions choice of Dan Reeves as 'Plain and Fancy' person of the year

Editor, We are writing this letter to publicly express our

dismay at the selection of Denver Broncos Coach Dan Reeves as this year's "Plain and Fancy" person of the year.

The selection of Coach Reeves leaves us totally mystified as to the criteria for selection, and what the award is supposed to represent. Past award winners have included individuals such as Pat Shroeder and Rachel Noel; persons who have dedicated their adult lives to public service, and to eliminating exactly the sort of activities that many members of the Denver Broncos have recently been involved in, and which Coach Reeves and Bronco management have given inadequate public attention to. It isn't necessary here to review all of these incidents, they are well known by everyone.

In addition to these problems we wonder just what this award represents? MSCD is a place for those that do not fit in to or do not want the "standard" college atmosphere. Many MSCD students overcome tremen­dous obstacles in order to attend. It seems the "Plain and Fancy" award winner should have some connec­tion with this idea. Dan Reeves has spent his entire adult life in the privileged atmosphere of College and

Professional Football. What could he possibly have in common with MSCD students and what inspiration can he offer us?

We realize that the Bronco organization, including Coach Reeves, give a great deal of time and money to numerous worthy causes, and they are to be com­mended for this. However, it seems that some other form of recognition would be considered more appro­priate than ~ award. It appears that the primary consideration in this selection is the number of celebri­ties that can be attracted to the "Plain and Fancy Ball."

Indeed the "Plain and Fancy Ball" is becoming considerably less "Plain" and much more "Fancy." Tickets for this years ball are $60, well out of reach of plain students. In the past students could get discount tickets. We understand that this will not be the case this year. Attendees will have to dig deep in their drawers to find the blue jeans often seen at this event. It is unlikely that those that can afford these tickets wear them very often.

Sincerely,

Ken Grandt, on behalf of The Progressive Clubs Coalition of MSCD

Here are some tidbits for all you MSCD and college athletics fans to mull over in early September.

Bobby Bowden is a legendary leader and a class act and deserves to finally win the mythical national championship.

This year MSCD has a monopoly on Colorado Athletic Conference soccer coaches of the year. In fact, we have every coach that bas ever won the honor. Both men's coach Dennis Daly and women's coach Ed Montojo were honored as the best last year after winning the inaugural CAC championships.

Every one of you should go on over to the recreation center and check out the women's volleyball team if for no other reason than to see junior newcomer Debbie Guck. This girl has some serious hops, baby. Don't let her 5-foot-6 frame fool you, she plays in the stratosphere. NASA only wishes it could get as far off the ground as "Air Guck."

should be your year. The award is University l\':')"]~---------.... [ t f;:

Neither of them are resting on their lau­rels, though.

With seven sophomores and one fresh­man in the starting lineup, Montojo is taking a team that ought to be wearing diapers instead of shorts into the toughest schedule MSCD has ever seen. They will be playing three teams that finished in the NCAA Di­vision II top 15, including defending national champion and preseason no. one Sonoma State University (Cal.), as well as last year's fourth-ranked Division I team, the University of Wisonsin-Madison. Here's toasting the exhuberance of youth, Coach M.

Daly has bis troops playing six games in the first eight days of the season. Can you say conditioning? I implore the student body to go to the games not so much to cheer, but to help carry these guys off the field.

There is definitely a Colorado connec­tion to MSCD athletics. Of the 50 or so roster players this fall only seven are out-of-state products.

Here is another reason for MSCD stu­dents to attend athletic events: not only is there no entry fee and a $500 fan apprecia­tion scholarship, but through studen~ fees you are personally paying to support varsity athletics. Why would you buy a ticket and not show up?

Now that that grotesque rubber atrocity has been banished to the fiery pits from whence it came, all hail the new hardwood floor in the rec center. Along with the new and very comfortable bleachers, the floor makes for an aesthetic environment that will definitely add to the pleasure of watching the games.

After watching top-ranked Florida State humiliate BYU 44-28, I agree that the Semi­noles are the best team in the country. Being an Auburn and Miami fan I have taken an oath to forever root against FSU, but coach

of Houston quarterback David Klingler's to lose. If he has the year that he should in the run-and-shoot offense that Houston has all but perfected, he'll have this thing wrapped up by early October. If by some odd fate Klingler doesn't win it, look for Florida's Shane Matthews, Michigan State's Tico Duckett, Carl Pickens of Tennessee or Florida State's Amp Lee (providing the ankle injury suffered against BYU isn't serious) to win the bronze statuette. Sorry Ty Detmer, Archie Griffin's record of two trophies is safe for another year.

For all you CU Buff fans that are glad to see that Darian Hagan and his bum knee are returning punts to improve his stock in the NFL, I hope you realize you are laying your only chance at a top-twenty season on the line every time the other team faces fourth and long. Punt returner is undoubtably the most dangerous position in football. Putting Hagan in that vulnerable position makes about as much sense as kicking to "Rocket" Ismail with the national championship on the line. Oops, sorry coach Mac. 0

THE METRO POLIT AN September 6, 1991

Soccer team opens season ranked 13th

Having made the decision to de­velop a new career, my family (husband, 17 year old son and 20 year old son) have all given me verbal support but actions are speaking louder than words.

I find they all seem to have re­gressed to toddler stages. Each has demonstrated an inability to complete even the most mun­dane chore without begging on my part.

I don't want to let myself get sabotaged before I get started. Help!

Dear Getting Sabotaged, Decision-making requires signifi­cant change and can be very diffi­cult for everyone involved. As you are working on your personal ad­justments, it may be hard to under­stand that the change is impacting those around you in a similar way. Because of this, they may not be able to give you the level of support and understanding you feel you need and want from them. They also may be wanting things to remain the way they used to be, nice and predictable and secure, with you as the coordinator of the condition.

Some suggestions for you to follow are: 1. Understand that any change re­quires adjustment for all people involved. (It is possible they are having a harder time adjusting to your decisions than you are?)

2. Seek support and understanding from others-your fellow students. They are in a much better position to really know what you are going through because they are in the same setting and probably are hav­ing difficulty with their family mem­bers too. (The letters I have received this week have reflected this to be true).

3. Start acting more like a student rather than their mother. This will enable your family to react to you in a different role also. Rememberthat your changes effect them and this can be a strategy to gain their sup­port, understanding, and coopera­tion.

4. Stop begging! With some patience on your part, your family will learn in time that you are serious about your education and career, even if it means that none of the chores ever get done. My guess is that it won 't take very long before they begin to pitch in on their own.

5. Keep your focus on your goals.

6. To avoid guilt, remember that by doing these things, you are provid­ing your family with the opportu­nityto exercise choices and to learn living skills that can enhance their independence.

Send letters to MSCD Counseling Center, CN 203, Campus Box 005.

The MSCD women's soccer team opens the 1991 season as the 13th-ranked team in the national caoches poll and defending Colorado Athletic Conference champions.

Head Coach Ed Montojo, last year's CAC coach of the year, was happy with his team's 11-8-1 record and national ranking of no. 17, but this year he wants more.

"Ournumber one goal is to repeat as CAC champions," he said. "We would like to improve our national ranking and ultimately be one of the top two teams in the West region."

If the Roadrunners are able to do that, Montojo,now in his seventh season at MSCD, feels his team will get into the NCAA Division II tournament at the end of the year.

However, the West region includes Cali­fornia, a national hotbed of soccer talent, so Montojo has his team playing the toughest teams from the coast. In one four-day Cali­fornia road trip, the 'Runners will play last season ' s no. 14 team, Chico State Univer­sity, the l 0th-rated University of California­Davis and the defending national champions from Sonoma State University.

Just in case those teams don't make the schedule impressive enough, MSCD will play the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the fourth-ranked team at the Division I level in 1990, at home in October.

With the help of assistant coaches Saul Contreras and Tonja Ridgeway, Montojo

has built a team with a defensive base. "The strength of our team this year is

defense because everyone is back," Montojo said.

Leading the way at the defensive end of the field is last year's team MVP and all­CAC goalkeeper, junior Lisa Baskall.

"When she's on in goal, our team. espe­cially the defense. picks up their game a notch," said Montojo, adding that Baskall still has not reached her full potential.

Sophomores Julie Trickel, Trina Gerstner, Cindy Roush and Renee Ritchie are players who, now that they have a year of experience at this level, will definitely play an important role defensively. Gerstner, Roush and Ritchie were also on the all-CAC squad in 1990.

The offense should be powerful, too. Returning is scoring machine Bridgete

Leisure, who led the team with an amazing 23 goals in 1990.

"She just has a knack of putting the ball in the goal," said Montojoofhis senior standout.

Joining Leisure on the attack will be redshirt freshman Rosie Durbin, a striker who Montojo described as "cool in front of the goal and deadly with her head."

If there was a weak spot for the Roadrun­ners last year according to Montojo, it was the midfield.

So, the coach has made an adjustment in the team's formation, stacking the midfield and playing only two or possibly one striker at a time. "We are looking to be more of an attacking team from the midfield," he said.

Spearheading the midfield pressure will be junior Trish Jackson, who was ineligible

from last year and we're getting along a lot better. We' re more unified than last year."

Inglee credits second year coach Rhonda McMullen for the change. Darcie lnglee is not your traditional MSCD

student-athlete. lnglee, 21, juggles her volleyball skills,

which were good enough to earn her second­team all-Colorado Athletic Conference honors last season, and her talents as a stu­dent, a fact supported by her academic first­team all-CAC selection.

"When our previous coach was here, we got away with some stuff," she said. "But Rhonda didn't cut us any slack. She's really helped benefit us a great deal. Everybody works harder now."

Inglee, a team co-captain, is the only volleyball player to start for four straight years and expects good things from the 'Runners.

The 5-foot-9 lnglee plays key roles on both offense and defense as the team's middle blocker. Playing in the center of the net helps her get a hand on every block, her primary defensive responsibility. On offense, her quick sets are used as a surprise tactic against the opposition. "I think we'll be better (this year)," said

the 1990teamMVP. "Everyonehasreturned It's a position she has played for a long

time. She was the middle blocker for Wheat Ridge High School when the Farmers won the state volleyball title in 1987.

Off the campus volleyball is secondary in Inglee's life. She has been married to Mark lnglee for two years, something she said is teaching her to separate school life from home life.

"I try to plan my schedule," she said. "Daytime is for school and homework and volleyball. Nighttime is home life. It's hard sometimes, but having Mark around makes it easier."

Inglee's major is park administration. In her spare time she volunteers with Wheat Ridge Animal and Parks Enforcement, do­ing paperwork and assisting rangers in the

field. Her ultimate

goal is to become a ranger in a na­tional park, but she will have to start as a city park ranger and work her way up.

But for now Inglee is concentrating on volleyball and hoping for fan support that has been lacking in the past.

"It would mean a lot to the team to see people in the seats," she said. "We are ranked nationally, so we are pretty good. Regis (College) better be looking over its shoulder. And hey, it's cheap entertainment." 0
