Metro student to face charges Felony charge reduced to misdemeanor in defacement of campus buildings By A.Jeter The Metropolitan

Police pulled Metro student Gary Norris out of class May 6 and arrested him for suspicion of destruction of public property.

Norris, who spent 30 hours in jail in connection with graffiti and posters that were glued on classroom walls in early May, must now go before a judge July 11 .

He was initially charged with felony criminal mis­chief, but the charges were soon lowered to misdemeanor destruction, since the damage is estimated at about $300.

Causing over $400 in damage is considered a felony under Colorado law.

"I made and distributed the fliers," Norris said. "The graffiti in the buildings, I had nothing to do with."

Norris said he couldn' t comment on whether he glued the fliers to the walls.

If convicted of the misdemeanor charge, Norris could face a fine of.up to $250. He said he does not want a con­viction on his record.

Norris said he could have avoided the court battle if he accepted a deal from Metro's Dean of Student Life,

Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen. Norris said Ortega-Ericksen offered to settle the case if he would agree to pay $1, 150 by 5 p.m. the day after the fliers were glued to the walls.

Norris said "No de~I" and showed up May 28 in a Denver courtroom to face charges. However, his arraign­ment was postponed to July 11 at 8:30 a.m.

Ortega-Ericksen said the offer extended was made on behalf of the Auraria Higher Education Center.

"My intention was to see if there was a way to settle this without (Norris) going to court," Ortega-Ericksen said. "What AHEC gave us was '$1, 150 and we will drop the charges.'"

Ortega-Ericksen said Norris' only concern now is with the court case, adding that her personal dealings with him are over.

"(Norris) and I had a very good meeting," Ortega­Ericksen said. "As far as I am concerned, (Norris) and I have finished our business."

For Norris, however, nothing is finished. · Two days after his arrest, Norris wrote a statement in which he claimed that the college, Auraria police and Auraria sought to make an example of him in this case because he is an outspoken advocate for students.

... "The fact that a ridiculous charge of felony was given

to me, claiming that I was guilty of all the damage done to the campus proves ... that there is a knowing attempt by the administrations which run the Auraria campus to exclude any student input," he said.

The posters were found glued to the wall next to the Political Science offices. Each commemorated the anniversary of a French workers' revolution in 1968.

Joe Ortiz, head of the Auraria police, said his officers did nothing wrong.

"We were given information," Ortiz said. "We inves­tigated, and we presented information we gathered to the district auorney, and he took that information for a case against Gary Norris."

Norris said that in accordance with his agreement with Ortega-Ericksen and Auraria, when he returns to school in the fall he will be on probation.

"I violated a student conduct code," Norris said. "They didn't want to suspend or expel me. The way I understand it, they will be keeping an eye on me."

Norris said he plans to ask for a public defender at his arraignment.

"I can't afford a lawyer," Norris said.

MetropOOtan-- Stare College of Denver ATTENTION! Students, Faculty and Staff

MSCD has approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet

(Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan State College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not interfere with any other individual's intellectual inquiry, and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas.

Equally important is the individual's right-to­privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-to­privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy of 1974). This responsibility spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal, and electronic communications, and electronic data files. Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code).

APPROPRIATE USE To be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of the institutions goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is true of

administrative information systems, academic computing resources, networking technologies and office automation.

MSCD's computing resources are available to MSCD students, faculty, and staff. For any other individual or organization to use MSCD's computing resources requires special written approval from the Associate Vice President of Information Technology.

INAPPROPRIATE USE Any activity involving MSCD's computing facilities which knowingly interferes with someone else's academic freedom, the institution's goals or policies, examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to the following: -Attempting to gain access to personal information, computer accounts, or computing resources for which you are not authorized; -Not logging off from public terminals, thereby providing others access to computing resources for which they may not be authorized; -Damaging, altering, or tampering with other's· data contained within or transported by MSCD's computing facilities; -Violating the confidentiality of information associated with an individual or their research, or information associated with the college; -Any form of electronic eavesdropping, e.g., examining the contents of data packets transmitted on the campus network; -Any form of harassing activity; Any activity

which wastes either human or computing resources. -Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements, and contracts. -Any commercial use for profit;- Use of an inter­campus network such a Bitnet, Colorado Supemet, or the Internet that violates their usage guidelines (see usage guidelines for these various networks) . Many of these examples involve violations of Jaw. For example, unauthorized access into someone's information stored on a computer system is a violation of that person's right to privacy and is a criminal act.

RIGHTS Information Technology reserves the right to assist in determining inappropriate use. This may include, but is not limited to, examining the contents of data files or reports and system activity Jogs.

RESULTS OF MISUSE Misuse of computing resources at MSCD may include suspension of computing privileges, referral to an appropriate authority on campus, and referral to a law enforcement agency. Discipline action by the College may include suspension, expulsion, and requirements to make final restitution.

Student government member quits Vice president of student organizations cites lack of time, personality conflicts

By Kevin Juhasz 77ie Metropolitan

Just as Metro's 1997-98 Student Government Assembly took office, one of its members called it quits - a com­mon occurrence for newly-elected stu­dent representatives.

Jillann Mills resigned as Vice President of Student Organizations on May 15, citing her inability to "put forth the time and effort lo complete the tasks of this office adequately." She said her resignation also was caused by political in-fighting within student government.

Student government President Karmen Trujillo appointed Jim Hayen to replace Mills. Hayen's appointment was unanimously approved by the other stu­dent government members.

Hayen said he plans to hold open houses to make students more aware of the student clubs.

In Mills' letter of resignation, she said she hoped the position would be filled by someone better able to serve the students.

"I didn't realize it was going to take up so much of my time," Mills said in an

interview Tuesday. Mills did not resign without voicing

her displeasure with other student gov­ernment members.

She left the May 15 meeting imme­diately after reading the letter and told members they were free to contact her if they had any further questions.

In the second half of her resigna­tion letter, which she read aloud at the May I 5 student government meet­ing, Mills expressed concern over the "deviousness of others involved in the 1997-98 SGA." She cited this as an influence in her decision to resign.

In the inter­view, Mills said she felt some members of the assembly were not showing respect for Trujillo. Mills said she wrote the second para-

"Everybody on student

government is like, 'Gosh, who

is she talking about? Is she talking about

me?"'

- Karmin Trujillo, SGA president

Mills said she also took issue with what she perceived as ongoing problems between members of different political par-ties.

"I didn't realize t.he politics would be so heavy," she said.

Most of the stu­dent elected govern­ment members ran under the Student Advocacy ticket. The only members from other tickets are Trujillo - who was part of a campus party dubbed The Collective and Jane Duncan, who ran

graph hoping to wake up those members and make them realize how petty they were being.

with the Student Involvement Party. Mills said she expected lo see an end

to the personal dirt-digging that took

place during campaigning, but that it continued even after the election.

Many members were confused by her claims, Trujillo said.

"Everybody on student government is like, 'Gosh, who is she talking about? Is she talking about me?"' Trujillo said.

Mills said she first heard of conflicts during a social event attended by student government members. She refused to give any details about who was involved or when it took place, saying she did not want to cause controversy.

Trujillo dismissed any fears that there is conflict among members.

"We're a team now," she said. "We've come together."

Any differences were quelled last week at a student government retreat to Sylvan Ranch in Loveland, Trujillo said. Members need to respect each other and there will be no further situations where members attack each other over disagree­ments, Trujillo said.

"Everybody is on the same page," said Gabriel Hermelin, student govern­ment vice president of campus communi­cations.

Sculptures of summer Post-tenure review

TheTlvoll looms In the baekground of a sculpture at the .-.01 .b § .litch'a on May""' 26, two weeks after the end of the spring semester.

legislation in works By Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan

Metro professors are awaiting Gov. Roy Romer's action on a bill that would make it easier for tenured professors lo be fired.

During this spring's legislative ses­sion, members of the Joint Budget Committee, the group that sets the budget for Colorado, pushed the bill through the House and Senate where it was met with little opposition.

Romer has until June 6 to sign or veto the bill, which still becomes law if he chooses not to sign it. During a May 27 press conference at the Auraria Child Care Center, Romer said he has not yet reviewed the bill but intends to soon.

The budget committee members told lawmakers that Colorado needs to make tenured professors more accountable.

If the bill becomes law, professors at Metro and other publicly-funded colleges in Colorado will face performance reviews every five years. Those that fail to meet the minimum standards of the review two years in a row will be placed on probation and must then undergo yearly reviews.

Professors who do not improve with­in two years after that will be fired.

The budget committee's tenure bill charges the Colorado Commission on Higher Education to determine criteria for

the post-tenure reviews. Members of Metro's Faculty Senate

said they are concerned about the implica­tions of such legislation and have formed a committee to look into the issue. In addition, the American Associiition of University Professors, the organization that sets the current criteria for firing tenured professors, is opposing the legis­lation.

The association's preferred criteria for colleges ending tenure includes con­viction of certain crimes, committing sex­ual harassment and incompetence. In con­trast, the new legislation would make "unsatisfactory performance" a fireable offense.

"The new language is for unsatisfac­tory performance, no~ incompetence," said Ruth Flower, director of government rela­tions for the association. " It lowers the standards and gives much broader discre­tion to end tenure."

Supporters of the bill . include Rep. Tony Grampsas, R-Evergreen, who is a member of the Joint Budget Committee and a sponsor of the bill. He said the mea­sure will go a long way to ensure the pub­lic that professors must adhere to a high standard of performance - even after they are tenured.

"If professors haven 't made any improvement in two years, they are not going to," Grampsas said.

Police get a raise Police & Sec

Statistic Security budget allows increase !::oill~.____. I 1995 11 Wri I

By Perry Swanson The Metropolitan

A budget sum­mary for the Auraria Board of Directors meeting on May 12 called for a 7.8 per­cent increase in the campus police bud­get.

The summary Dean Wolf states, "The campus

continues to face a growing problem with incidents of crime."

The budget increase is intended to pay for operating costs and salary increases, said both campus police chief Joe Ortiz and Dean Wolf, Auraria executive vice­president of administration.

Ortiz said the money will not be used to hire new staff or start new programs.

The budget increase was requested by Auraria Higher Education Center officials to allow for an automatic 2.5 percent raise in salary for some police staff, said Curt Wiedeman, director of auxiliary and busi­ness services for Auraria.

The salary increase js built into the state classified staff system, which is approved by the Colorado legislature.

Despite the report to the Auraria board, Ortiz and Wolf both say crime rates have remained largely flat, noting that crime figures are likely to fluctuate some­what from year to year.

According to Auraria Campus police figures, there were 1,212 reported criminal offenses in 1995. That increased to 1,308 in 1996 and as of April, there were 443 offenses reported this year.

The police budget, which is $1.7 mil­lion for this year, accounts for about 4.6 percent of Auraria's budget.

In comparison, Auraria allocates $8 million for the Auraria Book Center and $2.25 million for utilities.

"Dollar-wise, it's a small department, but importance-wise, it's a very important department," Wolf said.

The Tivoli_ and the location mean more visitors to the campus and conse­quently, an increase in crime, most of which is committed by visitors, he said. Yet some crime might be avoided since Auraria is not a residential campus.

Ortiz points out that some crime on campus is the result of Auraria's locale. Unlike other Colorado campuses, Auraria has special events at the Tivoli and is located in the middle of a large city near several government housing projects.

"We're the safest campus in the state," Ortiz said.

He said his department is combatting crime with an increase in police presence in parking lots, a strong relationship with the Denver police and undercover officers.

Ortiz emphasizes that the biggest security issue for the department is not necessarily crime figures, instead its mak­ing students feel safe.

Campus tolerance surveyed By Perry Swanson The Meiropolilan

Almost four years after Metro President Sheila Kaplan arrived on campus and said she wanted to pro­mote racial and gender diversity, her administration is still trying to gauge the racial climate at Metro. This month the college's Diversity Taskforce launched the Campus Climate Survey to get feedback from students, faculty and staff on race and gender relations at the col­lege.

opportunity office mailed three different surveys in early May. One went to a group of about 2,600 students, another to the faculty, and the third to the col­lege's administration and classified staff. Most of the student surveys were sent to non-white students, according to Morehouse.

By the end of May, Morehouse hopes to have enough surveys back to compile representative results. Once the survey is complete, Morehouse says the Taskforce will interview some of the recipients to get more detailed and personal information. Then the Taskforce will make recommendations to the president based on the information they gathered.

All three surveys inquire about issues relating to equality of race, gender, age, disability, religion and sexual orientation on campus. The faculty survey, for example, asks professors to agree or disagree with the statement, "The faculty in my department are accepted and respected by their peers throughout the college, regardless of their reli­gion."

Students are asked their degree of agreement with statements such as:

• The professors I take courses from treat me with the same respect as they treat my peers.

•Metro values having a diverse student population.

• In general, students are accepted and respected by faculty, regardless of race and ethnicity.

In terms of race and gender, Metro is slightly more diverse than the local community and the coun­try as a whole. Figures published in the 1995 Metro Fact Book. show that 22.1 percent of students at Metro are non-white, compared with 20.5 percent in metro Denver and 17 per­cent nationwide. There are roughly 10 percent more females than males at Metro, while national figures

Metro's image gets revamped Publicity blitz aims to ·revise public perception of the college; study indicates that many believe it a 'second-rate' institution By Jesse Stephenson The Melropolitan

In response to lackluster enrollment figures and an abun­dance of negative feedback about Metro's image, the college has launched an elaborate publicity campaign aimed at boosting the public's perception of the college and attracting new stu­dents.

This week, the Integer Group, a Lakewood-based advertis­ing agency, will begin preparing the second of a series of news­paper ads designed to entice potential students to Metro. The agency agreed to donate its services in working to redefine Metro's image.

In addition to luring new students to the campus, employ­ees of the Integer Group and Metro's Department of Communications hope the ads will help dispel the idea that Metro is a second-rate college.

Debbie Thomas, the interim vice president of Metro's Department of Communication, said results of a survey her department conducted earlier this year indicated that Metro has a serious image problem among members of surrounding com­munities.

According to survey results, when people think of Metro they think "cheap" and "second rate;" a college someone choos­es to attend only if they are not accepted to their first-choice college.

"It's not good for the school to be thought of in that way," Thomas said. "We had this gap here between what the reality of the school is and what the image is."

Thomas said that's where the new image campaign comes in. Besides advertising, the campaign also involves giving Metro a fresh face in the eyes of potential students. That fresh fa<!e is, more specifically, a new njckname.

mE METROPOLITAN STATE COLLEGE OF DEN­VER is now the official nickname of the college.

Thomas said giving the college a new moniker is a neces­sary part of revamping the college's image because people have

a deeply embedded negative name association with the names "Metro" and "Metropolitan State College of Denver."

Using THE MET instead of the old names eliminates pre­conceived notions about the college, Thomas said.

"Those impressions are so deeply ingrained we could never change them, we are not changing th~ name of the college but we are trying to get people to use a new nickname" Thomas said.

Now everyone who answers phones at Metro is instructed to refer to the college as THE MET. The new nickname is now on all college stationery, pamphlets and class schedules. Even the signs on campus will be converted to say THE MET instead of Metropolitan State College of Denver. Diplomas and transcripts, however, will continue to bear the college's formal name.

"There has been so much confusion about that," Thomas said. "Nicknames were never used on diplomas and they won't be now."

Despite Thomas' assurance that the New Image Campaign will enrich Metro's image, many students and student leaders oppose it. During an April open house to familiarize faculty and students with the campaign, many students gathered to protest the revamping of Metro's image.

The Student Government Assembly's Vice President of Communications, Gabriel Hermelin, said the students were protesting because they weren't consulted about the campaign. Hermelin said she feels the new campaign does not represent the true flavor of the college.

"It's plugging into this we're hip, we're trendy, we're new ttJng," she said. "As far as I can tell, mE MET thing is a joke and that will spread into the community and people will make fun of us. People are already saying we're having an identity crisis."

Since the protests, Thomas has asked Hermelin to sit on a panel that will give student input on issues such as the New Image Campaign.

.. REVIEW from oaa• 4

While the physical resources of Auraria are well-maintained and well-suited to the needs of the three institutions. space allocation is of major concern for Metro, the report states. The review said Metro needs more faculty office space, student service space, classroom facilities, art gallery space, a bigger theater and an auditorium for the perfonning arts.

The committee specified that space at the Auraria Higher Education Center is limited and many administrative offices are housed in off-campus space rented by Metro. This arrangement is becoming prohibitively expensive for Metro, as rent in downtown Denver is increasing, the NCA's report states.

The revjew also brought up con­cerns regarding faculty retention and tenure procedures» 'Despite these criticisms., the NCA was impressed with Metro having a diverse student body making Metro a "strong and vibrant" institution of higher learn­ing,, the report states. The NCA also praiSed the college for having devel­oped a Cooperative F.cfucation pro­gram.

Debbie 'Ibomas, interim assis­tant vice president of the Office of Communications. said the school will receive word of its NCA accred· itation status by late summer or early fall

'THE MET' Will not save Metro

t l 'a r;tw m8Eiker

If the mere mention of Metro or MSCD draws negative reaction, the first step in alleviating that response should be to figure out why the reaction occurs. Concluding it is all in the name, hence the reconstruction, is akin to painting a car to fix its blown engine.

The administration, namely Metro President Sheila Kaplan, would be wise to realize that changing the phrasing of the name of the college will not make the faculty's vote of no confidence disappear.

It will not settle the myriad lawsuits in contention and upcoming .

It will not stop the press from reporting on the uproar over who is and who is not granted tenure.

Much has been made of Metro's recent change to a new, hip moniker - THE METROPOLITAN STATE COL­LEGE OF DENVER. Letters have been written both in protest of and agreement with the new phrase.

It will not influence the body in charge of the accredita­tion report on the college, which found the college to be lacking in key areas such as graduation rates.

It will give the college a slick new moniker, which makes it sound less like an institution of higher learning and more like a fast-food drive-through.

Students hate it - the administration loves it. That it was suggested pro bono by an advertising firm

appears to be its saving grace. It will be yet another issue protested and debated. Apparently the word "Metro" and the acronym "MSCD"

conjure visions of a second-rate schoel that lacks credibility. It is another example of. administration being out of

touch with the student population. THE MET will change all of that with its slick design and

the instant acceptance of its ear-pleasing sound. In all, the name change will bring attention to the col­

lege. Or so the theory goes. Much like the quick-hit name, this solution is a quick-fix

bandage applied to a gaping wound. It fails to recognize the cause of the very problem it hopes to fix.

With all of the negativity swirling around the campus -the vote of no confidence, lawsuits, tenure disputes and mixed accreditation reviews - this kind of attention is the last thing Metro needs.

A rose is a rose but 'THE MET' stinks

Travis Henry

Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Metro. THE MET. Higher institu-

tion of learning. Higher learning. Just plain high. According to the

administration of this college, the best way to combat Metro's second-class image is by promoting a new campaign, featuring a new moniker for Metro.

Forget creating higher standards for students, retaining top-quality pro­fessors or hiring a competent adminis­tration.

THE MET is the answer. It's catchy, it's hip an'd it cost nothing.

Apparently, some advertising firm was asked by the administration to cre­ate a new image for Metro, one that could allow us to compete with other schools across the state. Oh, and they did it for free.

It only goes to show - you get what you pay for.

Besides the obvious conclusion that this moniker is stupid, lame and ill­conceived, THE MET might bring with it other unwanted connotations.

Student Life at Metro can now be called "Met Life." (Has anyone besides me ever seen the insurance commer­cials with Snoopy peddling "Met Life-?")

Now, not only does Student Life have to decide if they are bringing in Al Gore's second cousin or Sally Jesse Raphael to campus to speak to stu­dents on the importance of free envi­ronmental speech, they will be con­stantly interrupted with false insurance claims by confused Metro graduates.

What next? What if the administration decides

to tinker with our time-honored, sacred mascot the Roadrunner?

All I ask, Sheila, is please, please don't rename our baseball team THE METS.

If you want to be CU so bad, Sheila, just try it and you'll have riots, rubber bullets and all. (Besides, down here our minors have no trouble getting alcohol.)

To bring home the alcohol point,

THE MET sure does sound like a lame downtown bar.

Actually there is a bar in Denver referred to as THE MET, but to avoid offending any other special-interest, student-funded groups on campus, I won't even go into what kind of bar that is.

Let's just say that college Republicans, were there any, would not approve.

THE MET is just one more exam­ple that Sheila Kaplan and her hired assassins don't get it.

If the object is to try and change Metro's image from being just a fancy community college nestled between Elitch's and Colfax, calling it THE MET is not the answer.

Quality professors, quality educa­tion and a quality administration - that is the answer.

A rose called by any other name may smell just as sweet. But when you call Metro THE MET, it just plain stinks.

8 The Metropolitan May 30, 1997 Features Blood, decapitation, urination and comedy By Kendra Nachtrieb The Metropolitan

The British have invaded America again; only this time through the silver screen. First. the cult smash Trainspotting hit the theaters, bringing a new under­standing to the term "junkie," and now writer Kevin Allen (familiar to many British comedy fans for his appearances on the sitcom Absolute!) Fabulous), brings American movie audience ~he very dark comedy Twin Town.

Twin Town makes the audience utter a few giggles but invokes no real hard­core laughter. Rather, this movie tends to make the stomach queasy.

A major drawback to Twin Town is that it's difficult to understand the choppy, thick accents of the Welsh actors. The only understandable word in the first half is one that is not suitable for printing in this paper. The fluid, yet hurried, Scottish dialect of Trainspotting was much easier to understand.

Twin Town's negative story is about

two devilish brothers, Julian, played by Welsh soap star Llyr Evans, and Jeremy, played by Llyr's real-life older brother Rhys Ifans. The two enter the detestable realm of revenge with the greedy roofing contractor Bryn Cartwright, played by William Thomas.

When the Twins' (or so they are affectionately called by their father, Fatty, played by Ronnie Williams), falls off a roof on one of Cartwright's jobs, they decide to ask him for the money to pay the large medical bills. ff Cartwright will not give them the money, they will seek out compensation from him in some other form.

The movie's plot seems designed to make room for the dis­gusting, revolting and disturbing. From urinating on people to cutting dogs heads off, the movie falls short

TRIVIA IN THE BATH: 'Twins' Julian (Llyr Evans) and Jeremy (Rhys lfans)

of comedy. It seems geared toward a cer­tain audience, one that can stomach the gore and enjoys some common

euphemisms, all of which seem overdone. Surely there are other words, even in Welsh slang, that could have been chosen

to make the film a bit less tedious. This film is worth seeing but might

be better on video.

Meet the very unlikable Bob, Bob and Bob By Ricardo Baca The Metropolitan

One might think playwright James R. Cannon has something against people with the name Bob.

In his new collection of three plays, Bobology, being performed by the Roundfish Theater Company, Cannon cre­ated several different characters named Bob who resemble figures ranging from George Orwell's Big Brother to a super­hyped, sports-business-owning head hon­cho.

Poor Bobs. None of them arc very lik­able.

These Bobs are not as extreme as Bill Murray's Bob in What About Bob?, but at times Bobology nears borderline craziness and surpasses the annoying movie in adult content. Viewers get thrown around in their seats as the three stories go every­where, taking 180-degree turns and upside-down loops.

Cannon notes in the program that the plays consist of religious, political and business themes; however, the political and religious aspects are hard to tell apart because two of the plays involve religious cults or sects. He also notes that no attempt is being made to start an anti-Bob move­ment.

In the first one-act, Nobody's Business but Bob's, Bob is an extreme-sports busi­ness tycoon who is searching for a new president to drag his company out of a bad-press slump because the company's products kill people.

The Trouble With Bob brings the audi­ence into another world. This dark, dra­matic one-act drastically contrasts with the first one. It introduces Kerry, a character who is abstaining from sex for a week. This goes against the strict rules of his reli-

gious sect, which is governed by an unseen Big Brother-type named Bob. Malcolm, a coun­cil member and interrogator, who is trying to pry himself into Kerry's mind to stop any possible pre-revolutionary ideas. This fascist community thrives on happiness, and for no particular reason, promotes drugs, sex and TV and does not allow books because of their dangerous content. Humor is curiously absent from this one­act.

Last is the humorous, dark comedy Killing Bob, consisting of two cult followers looking for the "sacred pine" where they are to meet their guru. Once they find the worn park bench - which is indeed made of pine - they find their guru

THE THREE BOBS: James De Vinny, Christopher J. Petersen and Nolan_ Patterson

drunk, holding an Old Milwaukee and nearly passed out on the bench in his zoot suit, with '?Os-style chest hair trickling out of the unbuttoned shirt. This particular cult murders its leader every 20 years, and said guru, Master Sakanaki, has sold the com­pound and gambled away the savings of the cult, leaving only two followers from thousands. One is the gullible-but-lovable prized disciple John, and the other is the critical Paul who questions everything. The two run into power problems while discussing the fate of the "Stayin' Alive"­singing guru who picks and smells the jam between his toes and whose real name is the play's namesake, Bob.

Cannon did a splendid job creating understandable yet unlikable characters and writing creative dialogue. In one instance while discussing the 60 Minutes feature on his dangerous extreme sports

products that had killed over I 0 people, the first act's Bob calls 60 Minutes "a couple of communist wackos."

The actors had an excellent chance to display their dramatic and comedic talents as each actor played three very different characters. James DeVinney, as the golf­playing Ray, the interrogating Malcolm, and the submissive, following Paul, was energetic in every movement. Whether it was the humor in his monotonous, mantra­chanting voice or his sycophant charm in the first one-act, he was always making an extra effort so the audience didn't have to.

Nolan Patterson, playing the pocket­protector-wearing Melvin, the abstaining Kerry, and the scheming Paul, used a real­life approach to his characters and helped in keeping the more abstract parts of the shows close to earth. He was the staple of realism throughout the shows and played

the non-conforming character in every instance.

Christopher J. Peterson, who por­trayed the outlandish Bob, the quiet and hardly-present Tom, and the drunkard Guru, added a certain craziness to the pro­duction. The first one-act opens with him dancing to Bush's "Machinehead" wearing a Darth Vader helmet, and the third one-act opens with him dancing and singing in his falsetto to "Stayin' Alive" in a suit that acts as an ugly reminder of the '70s. His sec­ond one-act character barely mumbled two words, but it also was done with a comic flair, strategically displaying his charac­ter's stupidity and clumsiness.

This production makes for a very pleasant evening. The play only lasts an hour and a half, so it doesn't pose an incredible time constraint. It is quite a ride as well and much cheaper than Elitch's.

Senior thesis gallery show By Ryan Bachman The Metivpo/11a11

The brightest and best of graduating senior art students received an opportunity to show their work to the public at this year's Senior Honors Thesis Exhibition, held at Metro's Center For The Visual Arts.

The exhibit, represents the very best of student art­work, as selected by the Metro art faculty. The show included both two- and three­dimensional artworks created m a variety of media. Students exhibited paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, textiles, computer art, pho­tography and sculpture.

Patrick Crutchfield's oil, bronze and marble collection w~s one of the largesl works in the show, featuring large

· blocks of marble suspended by cable and thin strands of bronze shaped like wiry arms extending from the blocks. His pieces, while massive, were fascinatingly intricate.

The cibachrome photog­raphy of Theodore Haberman uses odd juxtapo­sitions of different images to convey meaning. His work, "Half Life of the Soul," depicts two dissected fish, one vertical and the other lying flat on the bottom, over a mouse trap. Another of his works, "Fix Me Now," cen­Lers on a pair of needle nose pliers constricted in twine over a scrap of metal. Haberman uses a lot of deep, rich colors in his photogra­phy and the effccl is stun­ning.

Jeweler Katie Dahlstrom

Malea Ellison

showed about a dozen of her pendants and broaches, formed out of metal, wood and stone. Her attractively polished pieces, even the wooden ones, possessed a metallic quality. Some of them resembled arrow heads, and others had a curvier, almost eastern appeal.

The work of Brandon Bender! featured three pieces, combining both pho­tographs · and drawings. He creates half-skeletal, half­nesh-covered figures , both animal and human, which slowly disintegrate to skin to muscle to raw bone. Bendert's work ts meticu­lously detailed, down to the nerves and blood vessels in his creatures. His pieces have ominous ti Lies like "Wounded Me," and "Any Other Father," and could serve nicely in a demented biology text.

Also dealing with the subject of the body is the lithograph series from Evan Colbert, which characterizes­cells in large masses, tough­ening Lhe clinical notions of microscopic organisms. Both his pieces, "AIDS" and "Virus DNA in 30, " con­front the viewer with blown­up pictures of unseen death and disease. His dark colors contribute to the uneasy feel­ing the viewer is supposed to experience.

Other students featured in the show were Malca Ellison, Jeremy McGirl and Matt McMillan. The exhibit was funded by Mile Hi Ceramics, Metro's School of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Student Affairs Board.

10 The Metropolitan May 30, 1997

Author puts Lucifer to bed at the Mercury By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

What is Lucifer like? No one really is sure because no one ever hears his side of the story. He doesn't have the crucifix cor­porate logo or the bound-edition Bible or pamphlets, or the spokesman Jesus Christ. So if Lucifer sat in a bar for two hours and told his story, what would he say?

Lucifer Tonight, a play written and performed by Don Becker, allowed Lucifer to be mankind's neighbor for a few hours and give his views on love, sex, reli­gion and hell on May 24 at the Mercury Cafe. It was Becker's last performance of the play in Denver.

Lucifer Tonight will be perfonned again in New York under the direction of Brian Freeland, and will have a cast of characters, instead of being a one-man show.

When Becker originally perfonned Lucifer Tonight, he played at City Stage Ensemble under the direction of Dan Hiester. He had one character besides Lucifer, the Archangel Gabriel, played by Terry Bernstead.

"I thought the best torment I could give an actor would be for him to stay on stage throughout the whole play and only have one line,''. Becker said.

Becker's performance at the Mere was more of a reading than the real play. Becker said the play is a big part of him, allowing him to explore his own deep per­sonal feelings about the subjects in his play, and he felt it would be nice to read it without all the bells and whistles.

Becker's play explores both the good and evil of man. While he doesn't focus solely on the philistine passions of human flesh, he does spend a lot of time on the subject.

Heaven is pure love, the most extreme love a person can experience, but hell is the perfect orgasm, Lucifer said. In hell,

there are no rules. There is a lot of eating, drinking, sex and two-year-long orgasms. But since you have to eat to fuel your orgasms, people get fat - 60, 70 thousand pounds - he said. But, the fatter you are, the better the orgasm.

Before the orgasm there was paradise, Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. Lucifer said he liked Eve, she was a good kid.

..

He didn't want to tempt her, but God said, how much does Eve love me? Lucifer said, "Read King Lear!" But he realized that it hadn't been written yet, and then explained a little bit about time.

"Time is your Nazi," Lucifer said, "Time is the uncomfortable mar­riage of work and sleep."

Lucifer explained that God made six days of work and one day of rest. If I was in charge, every night would be Saturday night, endless parties and beer, he said.

Humans squander their time. Work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep. In the cor­porate world a worker who has done a good job gets a watch when he retires. Time should be loved, it should be treated like a lover, Lucifer said.

But lovers, he said, are like roses. Lovers can make the hands bleed, like the thorns of a rose. And like a rose, my lover is beautiful, but useless, he said.

Beauty is art, he said, and art is an alloy of evil and good. Evil isn't bad, evil isn't Nixon or Hitler, evil is, he said, and God allows it.

Evil causes suffering, suffering causes meaning, he screamed.

If a grain of sand gets into an oyster's flesh , it suffers its little oyster suffer-

ing and makes a pearl. If a man suffers, he makes his own pearls, Lucifer explained.

Before man mastered the art of agri­culture there was no time to question suf­fering, he said. Suffering is good, he said. Cain suffered. Abel brought gifts of slaugh­tered lamb to God and God was pleased, he explained. Cain brought gifts of metal and God wasn't impressed. Cain loved God. He loved God so much that he'd do anything for his approval, even kill,

Lucifer said. Lucifer, according to Becker, isn ' t all

bad. He does understand the purity of Christ, and that Lucifer can

almost be tempted back to God's kingdom. When

..

Lucifer tempted Jesus in the desert, his final temptation, was to use

Jesus' weakness, which is love.

Lucifer appeared before Jesus as an

old woman cov­ered in sores.

Jesus longed to heal her, and licked her wounds to

cure her. As he licked the open sores Lucifer turned them into pools of sweet nectar, and he told Jesus he was tempted. But Jesus said he knew it was

Lucifer, and he still wanted to

heal him, and if • Lucifer just admitted the

sores were real, he could go back to God. For a moment, Lucifer is tempted. But he can't. Lucifer has seen color, Lucifer made color,

God made light, but Lucifer made color. Man drinks from two cups, good and evil, and if he drinks only from the cup of good, only the cup of evil remains. Lucifer

believes he has completed his destiny and yet, he still wonders why he is lost. Why God torments him.

Becker screams and cries these last lines, cries real tears and suffers right there on stage. He is no longer Lucifer, but the man, Don Becker, peering out of a crucible of Lucifer, Becker and Jesus, in a spot­light, on a dusty hardwood floor, in front of 15 people.

Public art application explained May 30, 1997 The Metropolitan 11

10°/o DISCOUNT By Kendra Nachtrieb The Metropolitan

Getting one's artwork placed in a pub­lic space is a process that involves a lot of time and effort. Since public artwork is funded by the government, an artist who wishes to create such a piece has to go through an extensive selection process. To help local artists understand this process better, the Mayor's Office of Art, Culture and Film recently held a seminar on how to better navigate the world of publicly­funded artwork.

John G. Grant, a public art adminis­trator, said the Denver Public Art Program holds open competitions, which each year are entered by both locally- and national­ly-known artists. The most important thing in deciding whether to fund an artwork is not the artist's reputation and past work, but rather the quality of the presentation the artist gives.

The first step to receiving funds occurs when the artist requests an infor­mation packet from the MOACF. This packet spells out what the artist needs to present to the panel: five professional quality slides of past work, a resume and a concept statement.

Of these, the slides are the most cru­cial.

"The quality of your slides is the most important item for any public art pro­gram; without that, you're gone," Grant said. "It doesn't matter how many projects you've done or how good your concept let­ter is. If they (the slides) aren't profession-

al, you're done." The artist then presents these items to

a project evaluation panel, which consists of seven members: two members of the MOACF, one artist, one art professional (such as an architect), and three represen­tatives of the community where the work will be placed. This panel will review the site, set up the qualifications for the pro­ject, review the applications and select the finalists .

you could have the satisfaction of helping someone in a very special way.

Giving a word of advice to those interested in creating public artworks, Grant said: "Not everyone is suited to be a public artist. It's a very, very complicated process. It's going to take three to four months to complete, and it has no bearing on your ability as an artist."

·Free RTD summertime shuttle By Liz Carrasco The Metropolitan

Summertime should be filled with sunny days, children playing, barbecues an·d suntan lotion. Unfortunately, parking hassles have become a familiar, part of summer as well.

People who want to temporarily avoid these hassles can ride the bus to both the Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Natural History for free this summer.

"The shuttle ride began as a service to the Zoo and Museum's patrons in order to help alleviate the hassles of an over­crowded parking lot," said Angela Baier of the Denver Zoo.

This service will be available during weekends and holidays and will run from May 24 through Sept. 7. The shuttle oper­ates from I 0 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., with three trips every hour. This is the third summer of operation for the shuttle ser­vice.

Visitors may park at the National Jewish Medical & Research Center (locat­ed at the comer of Colfax and Colorado Boulevard) and then are driven to the front entrance of either the Denver Museum of Natural History or the Denver Zoo.

Security will be provided at the park­ing lot. Riders will receive a coupon for a free 12 ounce soft drink at the Zoo or the Museum.

So, How are you going to spend your summer vacation?

Roadrunner

Commentary By Kyle Ringo

College athletics are generally thought of in tenns of big events, such as New Year's Day bowl games, March Madness or the College World Series. Schools with proud traditions of winning are revered, and athletes who compete for those schools become legends with instantly recognizable names.

For the majority of college athletes, however, this is not the case. Most young athletes pos­sessing loads of talent and tons of detennination and passion go unnoticed by the masses, never basking in the warm glow of the spotlight.

At Metro, things are no dif­ferent. The school joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in the 1996-97 sea­sons. But what the year should be remembered for is that it spells the end of a career for some of Metro's student-athletes. Most of them, like their counter-parts at many schools across the country, never received as much recognition as they should.

Several staples of Metro athletics for the past few years fin­ished their senior seasons with perhaps less success than they would have liked, but they still represented themselves and the school like champions anyway.

C.J. Arellano in men's basketball, Kerry Beidleman, Stacey Hoyt and Katie Ritter in volleyball and Danielle Nelson in women's tennis, among others, epitomized the college athlete as they ran through their final year as Roadrunners.

Here is a recap of each Metro sports team's 1996-97 season.

•Baseball The Roadrunners went into their final

four-game series of the year against Mesa State needing a sweep in order to qualify for the RMAC tournament. Instead, Metro found itself on the wrong end of the

•

broom, losing four straight to the Mavericks.

The team's play wavered in quality throughout the season. On one day it blast­ed past an opponent with precision defense, big bats and strong pitching. The next day it committed error after baffling error and the pitching collapsed. Unable to find a groove and stay in it, the Roadrunners were consistently inconsis­tent. It was not the big send-off Metro had planned for its six seniors.

•Men's basketball

Metro finished 13-13, with just enough success in the

conference to qualify for the &MAC tournament.

There, Nebraska­Kearney quickly

dispatched the Roadrunners in

the first round. The loss, deemed the most inspired effort of the year by

former coach Charles Bradley, ended the season.

Changes in the Roadrunners' lineup created problems. Two players who provided most of the

action at small forward left the team after winter break, leaving C.J. Arellano to plug the hole. He did a decent job despite not being ideally suited for the position. Besides leading the team in seniority and experience, Arellano, who joined the team as a sophomore, led in free-throw percent­age and heart. He leaves Metro as its all­time leadiQg foul shooter.

At the end of the season, Bradley accepted the head-coaching position at Loyola-Marymount in Los Angeles, end­ing his days as the top Roadrunner. Three weeks later, Metro hired Mike Dunlap who coached a professional team in Australia for the last three seasons.

ewomen's basketball

Metro reached the national rankings again this season for the second-straight year. The Roadrunners peaked at No. 18

before eventually falling out of the top 25 near the end of the season.

The play of the Roadrunners also fell flat near the end. They were bounced from the RMAC tournament in the first round by nationally-ranked Fort Hays State.

Coach Diirryl Smith publicly questioned the heart of some of his players after the loss. Smith said a few members of the team might need to do some soul searching to deter­mine if winning is still a priority for them.

Nothing short of a maximum effort is tolerable, Smith said.

The women finished the season 20-7.

• Women's soccer Despite a successful regular sea­

son, the women's soccer team did not qualify for any post-season theatrics. The Roadrunners finished with an impressive 11-7-1 record but went home empty-handed.

Seniors Chellie Mccourt, Jami Morgan and Kathy Moen finished their college careers strong, even without a post-season berth.

McCourt stymied opponents in goal with seven shutouts during the year. Moen and Morgan provided stellar play and solid leadership in their final year.

Coach Ed Montojo is optimistic about his team's future with his new class of recruits and the fact that he says he got a total team effort from last season's squad.

•Men's soccer

The fancy footwork of their oppo­nents caused problems for men's soccer throughout the season. The Roadrunners finished 7-13-1, yet still managed to back into the RMAC tournament because of a Colorado Christian loss at the end of \ the season and CU-Colorado Springs being ineligible post-season play.

Metro finished fifth regular season, but despite having its season lengthened, Metro could not overcome Regis in the first round of the conference tournament.

Their fifth-place finish is a bit misleading. If the Roadrunners had beaten the Colorado School of Mines in the season finale, they would have finis11ed second in the conference, giving thef!l a better position in the tournament.

•Swimming Impressive team records were over­

shadowed by outstanding individual efforts from three Metro swimmers this year. The men's team finished the season at 7-2 and the women did them one better at 8-2.

Excellent individual performances by

----- ---- -

May 30, 1997 The Metropolitan 13

Kristin Schweissing, Alisha McCartie and Scott Watson qualified them for nationals. Watson became a three-time All­American, shattering three school records at nationals, while McCartie earned the national honor twice and Schweissing once.

•Tennis The 1996-97 Roadrunner tennis

teams set a new standard for future teams to live up to. The men's team went 14-4, and the women pounded out a 13-7 final record. This is impressive considering the tough competition Metro was up against.

Each team defeated strong teams. A mid-season trip to

California helped Metro focus and raise the level of its game for the rest of the season. On that trip, the men's team defeated a nationally ranked

· foe. Unfortunately, the weather stood in the way of both teams fin-

ishing off their seasons with a bang. The RMAC tournament was cancelled because of snow, leaving some team mem­bers feeling as if the season never hap­pened at all.

At least three members of the men's team have decided not to return for anoth­er year at Metro, and it remains to be seen if coach Haili McLecxl will sign on for another run at a title.

Danielle Nelson, who walked onto the women's team four years ago as a fresh­man, ended her career on a positive, yet anticlimactic note. Newcomer Manuel Ponce reached as high as No. 15 in region­al individual rankings.

•Volleyball The volleyball team, faced with an

otherwise lackluster season, was able to tum things around during its last fow

games with the help of seniors

Stacey Hoyt and Kerry Beidleman.

The Roadrunners won four of their last

five matches to get to the conference tournament.

There, the team paid the price for a less-than-stellar

beginning to the season. It was paired with a pow­

erful Nebraska-Kearney team, which had given Metro problems during the season. The Lopers ousted Metro in three games, and three careers came to an end.

Seniors B~idleman, Hoyt and Katie Ritter might not have

been able to overcome Nebraska­Kearney, but the effort they gave to the Metro volleyball program will not soon be forgotten. Both Beidleman and Hoyt are ranked

among the school's all-time leaders in several different categories.

Coach Joan McDermott expects a strong recruiting class to improve next sea­son's team. Then the process will begin again for a new group of talented, hopeful student-athletes.
