National group pays for local radioads on state official term limits

DENVER (AP) - A national group is spending$21,000 on radio ads aimed at killing legislation thatwould extend term limits for most state officials.

U.S. Term Limits, based in Vashington, D.C., istrying to pressure lawmakers debating a measure thatwould ask voters to reconsider term limits they imposedin lDO on elected state and local officials.

The ads suned April 2 on four Denrer and ColoradoSprings sutions tMt carry conservative talk show hoss,said Chris Baker, U.S. Term Limis national field director.

The radio spots rvill continue through the week butcould be pulled earlier if the House kills the proposedlegislation, he uid.

Rep. Frank Vreddig, D-Aurora, and Sen. Jim Dyer, R-Littleron, u'ant voters to decide no<t year whether toextend term limits from eight years to 12,

The resolution was approved last week by the State,Veterans and Militar,v Affain Committee and is pendingbefore the full House.

Opponens say the legislation undermines the willof voters. They say because citizens put the termlimitsisue on the ballot, citizens should be the ones trying tochange it, not lawmakers.

Supporters of expanding term limits say eight yearsisn't enough time for a lawmaker to gain the skills andexoerience needed to be effertive.

Gounty clerks warned about denyingmarriage licenses to immigrants

DEN\ER (AP) - County clerks are being remindedof a sate law in the wake of allegtions that theyroutinely and illegally have denied mariage licenses toimmigrants who don't have Social Securiry numbers.

Advocates charge that the practice has been arvidespread form of discrimination againstundocumented Hispanic immigrants,

"Marriage, constitutionally and sacramentally,should not be based on whether someone has a SocialSecuriry number," said Denise Madden of theArchdiocese of Denver

In response to the claims, an attorney for theColorado State Association of County Clerks andRecorders said he sent a hner April 2 to the state'scounty clerk a&ising them that mariage licenses mrybe isued to immigrants who lack Social Securitynumbers. -

Colorado law mandates that forms for marriagelicenses ask for Social Security numbers. But aJuly 2000law makes clear that people lacking the federalidentfication numbers may get marriage licenses if theyprovide srvorn sultements that they dorft have SocialSecrrity numbers.

Bonfiles Blood Center will be on campusApril 12,

The blood drive, sponsored by Universityof Colorado at Denver, l'ill be on the first floorof the Nonh Clasroom from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p,m.

For ar appointment or for moreinformation, please contact Kelly Young at 303->>o-oz t5.

In a sports story March 30, the winningRoadrunner pitcher for game four against theUniversity of Southern Colorado wasincorrectly rdentified. The winning pitcher wasTim Price.

The Metrcpolitan strives for accuaracy. Ifyou spot a misake, please contact Sean V/eaverar303-556-8353.

The American Civil Libenies Union said it hasreceived rumerous complaints from immigrantattorneys, advocates and marriage applicants.

The ACLU warned county clerk in letters mailed lastweek that it would take the matter to court if countyclerks didn t stop illegally deni'ing immigrants marriagelicenses,

"The law shows that the legislature did not intendfor people to be denied marriage licenses simplybecause they do not have Social Security numben," saidMark Silverstein, legal director for the ACIU of Colorado.

In addition. Silrerstein said. the U.S. Constitutionprotects the right to marry And the U.S. Supreme Courthas ruled that constitutional rights extend toimmigrants, even if they are in the country illegally,

'The right to marry is a fundamental right enjoyedby all penons," Silverstein said.

Mlrxates could not estimate horv many immigranshave been denied marriage licenses because they lackSocial Security numbers. But some claim the denialsoccur daily, and complaints have come from all over thestate.

and recommended him to the DPD.And nothing has been the same ertr since.

Except maibe, for Randy Banel. ln his motherseves he rvill probablv ahals be her beautiful 22-year-old son. Officer Far killed Randy that da.v,and changed the course of my friend's hfeforever.

I(re are fonunate that Steohanie sun'ived.And yes, she is strllbeautiful and smartand talented, but thehead injury shereceived in thearcident re-routedher entirc life. Shedoes not have theanistic ability sheonce did. Nor couldshe pursue a lob inthe commercia.l artfield, or anv fieldwhere a high level ofsffess is involved,Head injuries arehard like that, Still,she manages tostudy and u'ork, but

rere efforts to stop V'illiams from suing the cityfor the loss of her son. Given the cover up atthe scene ofthe accident, it hardly seems out ofline for the Denver Police Depanment. Threervitnesses at the scene of the accidentattempted ro give their accounts to the policeoflicers covering the accident. ThE rvere toldtheir testimonies were not needed, and in onecase, threatened with a ticket if fiey did notleave.

Thefollorving morning they went directly to thepolice sution to make a repon and were givenplain pieces of paper on r,.'hich to "report" theaccident. Then they were questioned abouttheir use ofdrugs.

This was all 12 long years ago, but it hasn'tended vet. Even though a federal jury awardedColleen V/illiams $2,25 million, the largestjudgement against the city of Denver ever, theDPD is still not willing to act honorably. ThEfinally admined guilt and culpabiJity, nvo weekbeforc the trial, but thdre appealing tlre couradecision all the same. During closingstatements, citv attorney V'ally Vonham said nomoney should be awarded to Villums becauseher son died almost instantaneously andtherefore suffered little pain, Colleen Villiamswill now hare to suffer logic like rhis for a favnore years while the slow process of appellatecoun drags her through the horific deafi ofher son one more time.

So whe.rc is Officer Fan these da-vs? StiJlworking foL the Denver Police Department,promoted to sergeant in the trafic bureau, noless.

It hasn't been so easy for Colleen li/illiams,Randy's mother, She wasnt given the drgnity ofan apologv from the DPD after Randy's death,ln fact, she was approached the follcwing dayand told that her son was under criminalinvestigarion. Iater she received a bill for$17,000 from the DPD to cover the orpense ofstoring Randy's car as "evidence." Moreoutragmus\', she u'as sen'ed a 'notice of claim'stating she \!?s to pay for Officer FarCsu'orkman's conrpensation.

The aperiences I went throughin Colorado showed me wap to rvork withpeople whom I would have no contact with.That not only speak about me but it also sap alot about the people born and raised here,

Now there are things that rvill becomeaffected by mixed marriages and all marriages ofthis generation if people aren't teachers,Children will sun growing up without theknowledge of their past. I already see tluttrappening rvith the people my age. Tire parentsdon't take the time to tsach thern about thepeople that meant a lot to their culure. In oneof my clases, hardly anyone knew who CanerG. Woodson (the founder of Black HistoryMonrh) rvas. Vb as a people need to teachchildren about not only Martin Ilther King andGandhi, but also about Che Guewa, Vr.E.B. DuBois, and Bob lt4adey. All cultures need to teach.heir past so that future generations willunderstand, not one, but both oftheir heritages.This will allow thae children to funher close thegap of race relations ttnt have, in realiry stymredthis country's movement forward,

The bigest problem for most mixed kidsI've ulked to, is what they identi$ with. I thinkthis shouldn't be as big a problem as they makeit. They should take the time to evenly embraceeach other and then educate their own familiesabout the misconceptions they may have oforher ethnic groups. Mixed people alreadyquali$' as a rich and unique group of peoplebecause of the different viewpoins that theybring to the table.

Vill mixed people be able to help the world?Yes they can, but only if thw uke the intiativeand become teachers as well as students. Theyalready have one up on most people becausethey have alwaln dealt with the race isue. lr willbe very interesting ro see the tunrout in 20 or 30years conceming what strides will be madetoward race relations in America.

Hqrlmqn broughl conflict on himselfDear Editor,I took special interest in the anicle by Andret'Hanman, "Radical

teacher not tolerated in Thornton" in the Much 30 Metropolitan. Iwish I could rally to his side and hoin in this great crusade againstsome grave injustice. However, I think the lssue is more complu thanhis article implia, and an imporunt opprtunity for democradcdiscourse was lmt.

I base my assumption on the tone of his rhetoric. Hanman upthere is a "rystem of injustice. . .in the schools and in sociery in genera.l ,"He makes it sound as if some great dichommy odsts that dividamankind into two camps: The good gup and the bad guls. The badgup ue the ones who run the unjust system. The good gup are theones who are just like Hartman. The good gu)6 appear to hart anearly insurmounable disadvanuge because the rrerv acts of justicethey perform causes them to become victims of "the slstem."

Hanman had the opportuniqv to teach his studenrs somethingabout democratic discoune. He chose to be confrontational instead.

Dear Editor,Vhat, as a sociery, do we value?Judgin gbv Tbe '\letrcpolitan,we

Since he makes no mendon of the Students for Justice approachingthe administration first, to discus rheir concerns, I assume no attempt

Larry McGill stands in the N{etro gvm during a break inhis Tae Kwon Do class and reminisces about his glory days.He leafs through a scrapbook stuffed with photos of hispast. They represent almost three decades of a life that hasbeen dedicated to teaching and competing in Tae KwonDo.

Tae kwon do is the Korean martial art that means "wayof the hands and feet." McGill, 56, has been teachrng TaeKrvon Do at Metro srnce the college opened, and said he isnot the man he used to be. He turns to a photo of hisyounger self, his hair long and black. An unruly beardadorns his face. He is executing a perfect kick up at hisoPponent.

"l can't kick like I used to," he says, looking at thephoto. Then he smiles and adds, "But at least I'm stillkicking."

McGill, who has taught four classes, two da1's a weekwithout fail has cut his class load in half this year He is anenthusiastic raconteur who will speak one moment aboutthe history of the college, then continue lovingly aboutthe sport that he helped take all the way to the Olympics.

"l had some other classes I rvas teaching on Mondalsand Wednesdays, and I had two other classes I wasteaching on Saturdays," l\{cGill says. "Couple that withgoing to tournaments, traveling,.,l just had to startcutting back.

"l'm a prime candidate for repetitive use s,vndrome. Ifyou can imagine how many thousands of kicks a week -

kicking and punching - ir takes to teach several classes aday, every day of rhe week for 36 vears. But hey, I'm stillout there doing i t . '

lvlcGill first got introduced ro martral arrs l'hcn hc rvasa sruden[ in Greelev. A fraternitr, brother asked him if he

wanted to go rvith him and learn Karate. "This guy said'there's thisJapanese farmer that teaches this Karate stuff.'So we drove out east of Greeley, and rhere was this olderguy.,,and he had one of the barns where he had cleaned

wasn't commercial, it wasn't for sale, it was just there - ifyou tanted to go you could go."

The style that McGill learned ras called shotokanKarate. After he graduated he returned to Denver andbegan learning Tae Kwon Do - the st.vle rhat he stillteaches today.

He opened his first Tae Kwon Do school on East ColfaxAvenue across from the old l\,lammoth Gardens. Vith twoother partners, il{cGill got in on the beginning of the TaeKwon Do movement in Coloradr.,.

"l ivas one of the many people who was forming anindustry," McGill said. "Vb didn't have l clue where thisthing rvas going, we rvere running rhe whole thing out ofour back pockets. I would see a communit.v center and say'Gee, it looks like they have a big recreation area.'

"l'd go in and I'd say, 'Are you the director? Vell, mvname's Larry McGill and l've got an instructor who doesn'thave a place to teach.' l'd get one of these red belts fromclass and put them in a YMCA or a community center"

Mccill says the accomplishrnent he is most proud ofis his involvement with helping to get Tae Krvon Do intothe Olympics. He was team manager at the 1988 Olympicsin Seoul. Korea.

"The biggest moment of my life was going to Seoul,Korea," McGill said.

Even though McGill is j6 he says he has no plans tostop teaching Tae Kwon Do.

''l have a guy who inspires me." he says. "There's a gu,vin Pueblo named Master N{o. (He's) a 70*ome-year-old guyrvho has i6 and l7-year-old children. And at the statechampionships this year there's a divisron for seniors. . . hecnters thc division, and he teaches.

The "kaleidoscope" showedeverything from paintings to photographcollages ro copper sculptures.

Kaleidoscope is the name of the newstudent art show for Metro on display atthe Emmanuel Gallery from Nlarch 29-April 13, Jurors Mark Masuoka, CarolKeller and Sandra Toland chose 48 pieceso[ art from more than 200 rvorkssubmitted, according to Katy Charles,interim director at Emmanuel Gallery,

"Ve're trying to give all of theschools the opportunity to show work bystudents," Chades said. Kaleidoscopewas preceded by a University ofColoradoat Denver show earlier in the year andCommunity College of Denver studentswill get their turn in Emmanuel follorvingthe Metro shorv. Usually the shows aremore evenly spaced out, but sinceEmmanuel Gallery was without a directoruntil recently, the shows had to bescheduled closer together.

"lt's a pretty rigorous schedule," shesaid.

Ironically, the hectic schedule mighthave increased rhe amount of visitors tothe gallery.

"Visitation has run anlwhere betrveen60 to 180 people a dav," Charles said.

Kaleidoscope fcatures several notable

works of art, but only a fel were given thehonors of "Honorable Mention" and'Juror's Choice,"

One masteroiece received the arvardBest ln Shorv, Darvn NlcFadden's Hitlittg I,Too Much Tenderness, an oil/collage work.

Among those chosen as 'Juror's

The joint operating agreement between Denver'stwo daily nervspapers has managed to affect themovies, and not in a positive way

I learned about the effect this past weekend,when I went to a movie at the Chez Aniste. Justbefore the previews started, one of the Chez Artiste's

Chris Wardorr Film

employees walked to the frontof the theater and got theaudience 's attention. Sheannounced that, due to anincrease in advertising rates,Landmark Theatres, whichruns the Ma1an, [squire, andChez Aniste theaters locally,would no longer be able to list

their shorvtimes in every paper Instead, listings willnow appear on Friday, Saturday and Sunday;moviegoers are on their own during the rest of then'eek.

By removing their daily listings from the dailvnewspapers four days a week, Landmark has to passan inconvenience on to its customers, many ofwhomhave been checking their paper for showtimes sincethey started going to movies. "[t's a shame becausepeople are used to it and they expect it," DavidKimball, Landmark's Denver city office manager, saidof the reduced listing;.

landmark does offer alternalives to thenewspaper listings, which were announced beforethe morie and in their neekly e-mail update. Formshave been placed in the theater lobbies for an1'onewho wants to be on the Landmark mailing list, whichwill include weekly schedule updates and free listingscan still be found by calling the theaters or looking uptheir website at wwwlandmarktheatres.com.

That's all fine and good, but the problem hereisn't finding out what time a movie is playing. Theproblem is the raise in advertising costs - about a 120percent increase, according to Kimball. "lt's reallyhard, especiallv for independent theaters, to handle a120 percent increase," Kimball said. "We just can t doir."

Kimball said he hopes this won't be a permanentchange, and thar Landmark can eventually return topublishing its movie listings seven days a week. Thatis unlikely, howeveq unless the Denver NewspaperAgency reconsiders the price hike.

Most likely, this problem won t be limited toindependent movie theaters. Now that the RockyMountain News and Denuer Post have the sameadvertisrng department, there is no competition fordaily advertisers, Vithout competition, the DenverNewspaper Agency can raise their rates significantlyrvithout losing monev. Those who can afford highercosts will more than make up for those rvho, likeLandmark, have to cut back.

Unfortunately, there is not much that can be doneabour the local daily advertising monopoly. As forLandmalk, I plan to continue doing rvhat I have beensincc I moved to Denver: supporting the theaters thatprovide a venue for independent, artistic, and foreigncinema through nry continued patronage.

Are you still having trouble with thosecalculus problems and it's your second attemptat the class?

Too poor to pay somebodywith a trained brain for the information youneeded to understand by lesterday? The SaintFrancis Tutoring Center can help you out. It isfree to Metro students, and you probablv shouldhave gone there the first I'eek of classes,

Go up and fiil out a rutor requesr form. Thedirector, Jaunita Cook, will hook you up withsomeone to help I'ou get rhrough. The centeroffels walk-in, one-(l -one and some grcruptutoring in most subjects and ifyours is obscure,Cook will more rhan likely find .vou someonervho can help.

''lf I don't already have someone, I'll arrangefor a tutor to be here when the students come,"Cook said, "Thjs is here to help students getthrough."

Cook rvorks with trletro's department headsand instructors to ensure that the prognm

. benefits its panicipants. Instructors assess' student's progress through the tutoring centerand the data is used by the center and StudenrServices to find ways to better serve students'needs. The center also uses instructor

evaluations to assess the center's performance.Cook said she s trying to cover all the bases.

She sarted as the director of the TutoringCenter early this year and has since initiatedsome changes to increase the flexibility of theprogfam to meet the. requirements ofparticipating students. It used to be tharstudens could only receive one hour oftutoringper subject, per week. \ow students can havet$'o or more houn,. depending on r,,hat theyneed, She also heard enough students expresinterest in el'ening tutoring sessions, so sheopened the center on Vednesrlay nights.

"l believe it's very important to havereputable rutors ro best serve the students andthe high quality is onl,v going ro ger berrer eachsemester," Cook said.

The tutors musr be juniors or srniors.maintain a 3.0 GPA rn the subject they rutor andhave a reference from an instructor in the subjectarca. The. reference is then sent to thedepanment head for rel'iel and approval. Cookhas more than 20 Nrors on staff and is lookingfor more referrals from instructcn for porentialtutors. It is a paid position.

'TLtoring is great experience," Cook said.'(lt) reinforces rhe rutor's knowledge of thesubject and looks great on a resume."

After breaking a seven-game losing streakand scoring its first Rocky Mountain ArhleticConference victory last weekend against theUniversity of Southern Colorado, things werestarting to look good for the Metro baseballteam heading into its fourgame series withNew Mexico Highlands April 1-2.

Instead of carrying the momentum intothe series, the Roadrunners lost it, and theseries to the Cowboys, as Metro droppedthree of the four games,

Metro (14-15-1, 2-6 RMAC) dropped intoseventh place in the conference, rvhileHighlands (21-6,6-2) junped into a first placetie with Fon Hays State.

For the Roadrunners,senior Jack Edwards hithis seventh home run, asolo shot to left field. Hewould finish the game 1-for-3 with one RBI. JuniorChad Gonzalez put in anoteworthy performance,

going 2-for.3 at the plate, with a run scored.

Afte'r Highlands scored two runs in thefirst inning, the Roadrunners came in thebottom of the inning to tie the game at two.

But Metro's defense didn't help theoffense out in the second inning, as theycommitted two errors that lead to five runs,three of which were unearned.

"l think I've just marured a lot since freshmanyear," Hummel uid. "lt just feels good to u'in."

Vhning is something both Hummel andkwton have groim quite accustomed to over thepast few lears.

"DJ.'s been an All-American the prst tl'o yearsand &ri's been an All-American since she was afreshman," said Metro Diving coach BrianKennedy.

"Metro's on the map as one of the top divingschools in Division II, and it's mostlv bec.rrrse DJ,and Cui have repraented us for thc past fouryears," F'ennedy uid.

Cari loton made her presence known atNationals as well when she placed 1lth on rheWomen s l-meter board - a performance thatearned her Honorable Mention All-Americanstatus - and eighth on the 3-meter, which madeher a true All-American ,

"l felt prety good about the ray it ended,"lemon said. "Going out an All-Amencan, you can'treally be unhappy with ttut."

Considaing lcwton began her attrletic careeras a gymmst who never landed head first, shereally cloesn t have anltlilng to be unhappy about.

"trlflhen I was a freshman, people had neverhzud of Metro Sate," Irwton said. "Now peopleare like, there goes &ri.' It's a good feeling."

Both diven agreed that none of their successwould have been possible without the coachingand suppon they got from Kennedy.

'Brian really motivated me and pushal me,"

Lerron said. "He's great,"Hummel rzs quick to

second Lewton s rntiments."l affibute a lot of my

success to Brnn," Hummelsaid. "He took time out ofhis schedule, and I give him alot ofprops, I couldn't havedone it without him."

Mrh thelength of thediving season beingoneof the most erhausring of any sport, it's amzingthese two athletes could even suy awake, let a.lonedire their ray into All-American sanrs.

"Both these kids wort at least pafi-time,mainain a 3.0 or betteq and practice for about twoand a halfhours a day," Kennedy said. "To say ontop for an endre collegiate career is quite anaccomplishment."

Quite an accomplishment indeed, when youconsider one used to flip on the bed and the otlernever led with her head. But, ttnt s iust the waythings work out sometimes. You may not ahzls{ind your talent; pur alent might have to find you.

So, with one last round of applaur, u'ith onemore rousing o\ation, respect the best, Me{ro.You Mre All-Amencms among you.
