Sarting this semestet the Auraria Campus Police is offering arape defense program to all fema.le faculty, suffand studens.

The Rape Aggression Defense program provides realistic, selldefense uctia and techniques for women by teaching awareness,prevention, risk reduction, avoidance and basic hand defensetraining.

"This coune enables women by shattering myths that theygrew up with," said Det. Dave Hockman of the Auraria Police."M1tts like, women are physically powerles against men, womensecretly want to be raped, only young women are raped and onlywomen with bad repuations are raped."

Hockman, who has been a defense tactic trainer for the policefor 15 years, teaches the course with fellow officer, Andrew Liska.

Hockman said that he went to the MD instructor coursethinking it wasn't going to work. He said he found out that it doeswork and is very effecti,,'e.

The course is being offered, not besuse of an upsurge of se-rcrimes on campus, but because they felt it was a good thing for themany women on campus to know.

"l've been waiting for lears for a selfdefense course," saidShirley McCormick, building manager for the St. Francis center. "lnmy lifetime, I might need it."

McCormick was one of three women who signed up for theftrst course that is being held during kbruary at the St. Franciscen ter

The RAD coune is designed especially for l'omen, men are notallowed to anend, Hockman said. "Men have a better opponuJrityto receive self defense training," he said.

Lawrence Nadeau, who inl'ented the MD program, said theobjective is to develop and enhance the options ofself defense, sothey become viable considerations to the rvomar who ts beingattacked.

Hockman said rhe moves taught in the coune don'! involveftne motor skills. Large muscle groups that give an instantaneousresult are used because they are simple and effective. Themovements. he said, are intended to hurt the attacker, not thewoman.

''ln the course rve have them repeat the morement over andover so it becomes automatic." Hockman said.

But, Hockman said, the right decision isn't alwavs to fight back.'The right decision, for,r,ou, is ro survn'e,' he said.

Linda trIange, u'ho norks in the TivoliAdministnrire office, alsosigned up for the class,

"Wbmen have become so independent," she said, "We have toknorv the right rvav to take care ofourselves."

Beside the RAD coune, the Aurana Police are also working onother options to keep students and staff safe. Call boxes are beinginstalled in parking lots E and A for safen reasons.

hbr nrcre iflbnmtion about the RAD course or d you areinterested in attendinga class, please contact Det. Daue Hockmanwtth the Auraia Police at 303.5562263.

Reviewing what she leamed inthe previous lesson, Linda Mangeworks with Det. Dave Hockmanon selfdefense maneuvers Feb.15 at the St. Francis Center. Thiswas the second of a four partclass on selfdetense that issponsored by the Auraria Police.

The prices are still low and both Picco andWeiske said the reason the prices are low isbecause the students are what matter and it'sreally a place for the students to go and relax.

"This is for the students, but we need tolight, heat and staff the area also," Picco said.

THE METROPOLITAN STATECOLLEGE Of DENVER

Compony defends sotlwore,CU works fhrough glitches

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - The University of Colorado is stillvruggling to issue emplolees proper paychecks and benefits,months after insalling a new $33 million, four<ampus sofhraresystem.

"lt's tremendous stres, a tremendous arnount of t'ork," saidLlnn Valloch, rvho helps adminisrer the payroll for 525 employees ofCU's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences."Every month, I wonder about who's not going to get paid, andprobably every month we have a problem with somebody'spaycheck."

Installation of the PeopleSoft Inc. accounring and payroll slstembegan in 1999 and was completed in July.

Kevin Horigan, general manager of the education andgovemment divisions at PeopleSoft, said problems during CU'stransition had nothing to do with the sofrware. A PeopleSoft manualsays it could take months or.vean to install or test new programs.

"Thousands of satisfied cusromers around the world use oursofware successfi.rlly everv da,v," he said.

Horigan said part ofthe problem may be that CU initiallv chosean outside consultant over PeopleSoft, based in Pleasanron, Calif., tohelp implement the system.

Other schools also harr had problems rvith Peoplesoft. Glitchesin sofrware used by Cler,eland Srate Universiw have delalad financialaid for thousands ofstudents.

The Universit,v of N{rnnesota in 1999 had a month long delay infinancial aid payments and registration flaws last year, CU does notuse the programs for student services.

John Bliss, CU's vice president for budget and finance, said thesystem will nevertheless be bener than the 2O1earold qntem itreplaced.

"This has been a maloq major implementation for rhe universir.v,and I think, clearly, when you change as many s'tsrems as rve did,there's a huge challenge," Bliss said.

CU recently applied to be a reference for Peoplesoft rvhen othercustomers ask about their products, Horigan uid.

HIGHLANDS MNCH (AP) - rffomen canmull over rvhether to go sage gr€en or terracotta as they sip a cup of jala and theirchildren play nearby.

A coffee kiosk and bistro ubles sir at theback of this new-style hardware store. Trendypanerned pillows are flanked by water filtersand paint. The smell ofpopcorn nrfu rhroughthe air as giggling children push tiny shoppingcarts.

In an effon to drarv more women andyoung-adult customers, Ace Hardware Corp.has opened two Neighborhood Solutionsconcept stores. In addition to the variedmerchandise, the stores feature a scaleddownmodel home where employees are available toteach customers horv to make home repairsand improvements.

"You'd walk in and say, 'This part is leakingon my faucet or drain,' and we would take vouover to the prduct and teach you right there,hands on, how to replace it," said BretrStephenson, Ace's rvestern division manager.

Ace built the two stores one in HighlandsRanch, and one in Longyieq Vlash. - areas withrelatively young populations which haveexpendable income, Stephenson said.

Research shorved that 92 percent of

Highlands Ranch residents own homes with amedian ralue of $248,000, he said,

If the first two are succesful, the companywill look at additional stores,

Although other hardware retail chainsoffer how-to workshops and variedmerchandise, Ace leads in targeting womenand young people, said Sid Doolittle, aChicago retail consultant who worked withAce on the stores. His clients also haveincluded Home Depot, Sears and Lowe's,

"They've identified a tremendousopponunity that wasn't being taken advantageof by most retailen." Doolittle said

'The neighborhood stores are a supplybase for everything you need around thehouse to take care of the place."

Vith warehouse-sized stores of companieslike 20-yearold Home Depot springing upnationwide, "everyone is fighting hard to carvea niche to survive," Doolittle said,

Based in Oak Brook, Ill,, rhe T5.yearoldprMtely held Ace has 5,100 in the UnitedSutes stores and additional stores rn morethan 65 countries,

The 29,000.square-foot Highlands Ranchstore has a multi-media center of how-tobooks and videos, a 4,000-square foot gardenarea and a children s play area.

Depanmens focus on specific projecsinstead of items. Store colors are soft, Lghts

are brighter and aisles are wider. Srephensonsaid the idea is to meet the whole family'sneeds.

Stephanie Spencer, 38, wandered rhroughthe store as her T.yeuold daughter Christinaplayed in the children's arfl,

"l jusi ran in to get a key," she said, with anarmful of items that included a chamois andglue. ''But I found a whole lot of other rhings Ineed. I was surprised,"

Doolittle sai{ the younger generarion isalso a largely unupped portion of the market.

"lts important to get people started interms of being comforuble shopping in aparticular kind ofstore as young as we can findthem," he said. "lt mighr be as simple as adviceon Mnging a picture."

Lou Manfredini, authof of 101 Answery toIbe Most Commonj kked Questions AboutRepainry Your Hone, said he learned in his15 years in the industry thar it is n'omen n'hodrive it,

He said 65 percent of the users on hishome-improvement Web sire identifothemselves as women and 75 of theapproximately 100 daily e-mails he gets arefrom users rvho say they are women.

"You can have a lot of fun and you can dothis," said l,,lanfredini, whose book is sold inAce stores. "Dont let people rell you rhar y'oucant. "

Readers prefer styleover substance

ls individuals who care about avariety of issua that affect our societyand nation, we depend on the manvinformation sources available toprovide us with hctual information tobest anive at an informed opinion onany given subject. The variety ofsources competing for the zu and q'e

of the news consumer is nowadalt vaguely lumpd under theumbrella term of "the media".

A news consumer is best served by an awareness that the

upandd media chohes norv avaiiable do not netasanlymake for a broader selection of qually reliable sources ofinformation.

kcepting that each of us approaching a news item with

our biasa as a fiher, in an ideal n'orld each news source wouldlimt iaelf to posting the facts, luving it to each of us toevaluate and absorb the information. That ideal scenariowould, in tum, make it more efficient and rationzl to disagreeagreeably with those with whom we aim to review any given

subjeclNor so. Long kfore we aspire to that ideal premise, we need

to accept that in tm many instances, the informatton we areprovided by these sources may already be colored by a rariety ofbiases, this bagage frst requires our l'eeding out the nugets ofuseful facr from the tons of theatrical fluff.

Media biases come in many forms, ran$ng from the pre-packaged point ofview to the sensationalistic, The former usuallvreflects a well meaning perception by the autho($ ttut thEknow better lhe laner is wrapped in theatrical lalen meant tocreate a broader audience for their product. In both cases, thecontent is secondary to their authors' primary agendas.

As news consumem, le have helped this pathetic uend.Mth relatively ferv exceptions (no doubt inclusive of persons

reading this editorial), most ners consume$ are believed bymedia outlets to be relatively la4', accepting sound bites ratherthan thoughtful pieca, and sales-testd deliverv substitutingfor substance. A case may be made that as the number of nets

sources groq the qualiry and or reliabili4i of the ne$s beingshared is declining.

Yet the media erecutives can make a case that the pufhall

approach foisted over the past decade or so makes for a

broader audience. Time and again the rnedia research showsthat as a general audience, we seem to like the graphics, music

and carefully packaged news over the ferver well thought outand delivered pieces which to be found requires a Srelt dEalofwork and extra effon by the news consumer.

In this environment, the backbone core issues get lost.

Poliricians wind up hanng their lore lires analped over manyweek and months, r'ith the titillation obscuring that the coreissue should hart been their credibiliry in larger issues. Thelack of veracity being erpsed by what may have been a minormatter comparcd to their larger transgressions. Public worla

avoid being evaluated by their societal and financial strengths,once they are presented to the public in a public relations

blizard of photo op and emotional appals.ls both news consumers and cidzens, ve lose. Many good

pople would nwer consider running for polidcal oflice, leery

of their good idzu becoming secondary to some prirate

matter as fodder for the media's insatiable appetite for

sensation. Many an import2nt issue gets lou in the packagingfoisted on the consumer , avoiding the radonai discussion of

its merits.let us make the time to get a varie]y of sources on any

given subiect to agree on what the basic hcts are. We can then

take it from there and agree to agee or disagree on any Siven$sue.

Gorrecting black historyQ-VrlRD CAMBRIDGE, Mas. - Undoubtedly, some people

wonder if there really is a need for a Black History Month V/ell,

there shouldnt be. The relevant affairs of history should be taughtno matter the background of the individuals involred. Ths wzs and

is. however, not the case. There is a disdnct bias in what America'sschool systems teach and what media oude6 report, So long as thispersiss, we must make a dedicated effon to oftet their bias. Black

History Month can serve that purpose.Nobody should deny that "popular" conceptions of Africans

and African Americans were in the past totallv inaccurate.

Unfounded generaliztions about thae Sroups were of such a

virulent nature that they should never be forgotcn (if even

forgiven). Political correctness prevents the people of this countryfrom mentioning them, but ignoring ttut historical attitude does asgreat a diservice as the original comments themselves, Vb must

confront that shad,v underbelly or we are left rvithout a full

undersanding.Consider the Voting Rights Act of 1965. President lyndon B

Johnson had to send a bill to Congress in order to eradicate poll

taxes, literaq tesm and other impedimens constructed orpraslyto keep blacks from voting, Yet the 24th Amendment explicitly

outlaws the pll ux as a means of impeding votrng. Nearly a

century before tlut, the 14th Amendment made state du jour

denial of the righr to vote (among other provisions being violated

by poll taxes and their ilk) unconstitutional. In other rords, on

numerous occasions this country has prsisted in violating its own

laws for the sole purpose of harming blacta.So what, one may ask, That ls now behind us, Vhat it means is

that the country has barely been adhering to its own set of codes

for *ree decades (not to mention the numerous htrs, like visa

quotas for Caribbeans, which currendy exist and can be construed

as perpetuating such injustice), an adherence surpassed by

numerous Third Vbrld countria. What history teacher rvould erer

sa.v, however, that this country's rule o[law concerning peoples of

African descent is barely on par with that of a consolidating

democraq? Sadhi it is the case that America would be more willing

to srnply gloss over its own demons ttran dredge them up for the

sake of education.It is not just the negative ttnt is ignored, however The positive

contributions of blach are often overlooked because of theconte{ from which they emerge. Slave labor was the come$toneof the American economic jugernaut, but to attribute anythingpositive to the slave trade seems amoral. Black' contribution toAmerican music is enormous, but because of general

misconceptions regarding an, it seems to reinforce intellectual

stereotypes. Reconstructioncra srides made by blacks in state

legislatures are rarely acknou'ledged because of their seeminglyephemeral narure.

Such apprehensive neglect does not appear with westernEuropean figures, hol'ever Monarcts are heralded dapite theirwanton prpetuadon of history's firmest caste qntem. Chivalry ispraised, unabashed ser<ism and all. Any war is littered with regretableevents, 1et each is still recorded in deuil within the annals of historyBuffalo Soldien, Tuskegee Airmen and the Nat Turner rebelliondeserve that same respect. Othenvise, African Americans are left to

contend with a rzst misestimation of themselves and their forefathers.

Acknorvled$ng and confrondng these historical biases one month

a year will not do away with them, and in that, the doubters of Black

History Month have a point. In [act, it can easily reinforce the artrficialdichotomy between the histories of the races. The solution to thatquandav is not to sit by idly, hon'ever, for that breeds a complacencyvhich prwents America from even wanting change. Instead, the open

admission of the faults in this country's chronicle of hismry should be

an impetus for any self-respecting historian to incorporate the full

ruth into future to(ts. Black History Month exists so dut, one day, it

will not need to.

Eminem; teen fad, orjust plain bad?Eminem just new and unusual

It seems like everywhere you look nowadays, you see something orother of or about Eminem and his "controvenial" music. If you ask me,I think it's just a bunch of hype over nothing more than a Vanillalce-Sir-Mx-A-Lotting doofus.

I remember the dap of Vanilla Ice and Sir-Mh-A-Lot very clearly,and I remember their liria, In fact, it was in a contest to see l'ho couldmemorize those guys' lyrics and who lust couldnt get ir down. ( knowall the u'ords to "Baby Got Back," by Sir-N{ix-A-Lot) I also remember thatthe \rics meant nothing more than funny, raunchv talk thar l'ou wouldonly hear in music of that t'7pe, mainly put together to cater to theteeny-boppen who have just gotten out of rhe biology class coveringthe subject of the "unmentionables" of the human anatomy and theirfunctions,

Gosh, dong all this reminiscing also reminds me of the era tvhengup would shave a wedge into their e1'ebrous to look like Vanilla lce. . .The point I'm trying to make here is that there's a nerv rend in the areaof music. A trend in which criticism is a lot mote than just "four out offive smrs for this baby." It setms to be a rend, focusing on an entrelynerv subject, rvhich can only be proven with indepth research intosomething that many people, including the researchen themselves arebafiled by. It's the psychological pan of it,

For all the years I've spent on this earth, there's aluai,s been somekind of hype that goes around about a musical anist and the affecr thatheorshehason the lisreners with the rype of music they make. Rap was

the mosdy criticized from what I've seen (from NVA in the 80s to themillennium's Eminem,), but there were a few excepdons to that rule. Iwasn t born yet when I{SS came out. But I know that they became aband that every teenager, fed up with the disco era, loved in ttrc late 70s.fu rvith many other bands that do something new and unusual, theywere criticized by many who felt the word KISS stood for "Knights lnSatan's Service," and that they made "demonic records."

I don't know about you, but from all this talk about this subject,I'm beginning to see a point demonstrated. There's alwap going tobe something controversial about every single band or solomusician that comes out with something that's never been donebefore. Panicularly when it's something that doesn t endorse goingto church or being religious, or whatever it is people find to be agood mesage to listenersteenagers.

I feel it's imponant to examine the pwchological affects of theseentertainen on the audience and then worry about the rest. I feel thatifs important to ask the audience themselves about the effects of theanis$ they're exposed to. lvlaybe the teenagers are laughing at thearticles being prinrcd about the effecs of Eminem and his lyricsthinking, "Boli these people just don t know what's up,"

And you know what? That teenager is probably nght.

Reema Al-Omari

Eminem's complainins doesn't deserae a GrammyIn. the past year, one musician has

completely held the nation spellbound.Eminem has had the entire media hanging onhis every uord, and it hasn't alwap been a love-fest. He has offended womens groups, gayactivists, and police departments all across theworld. By the trne this ardcle is prinred,Eminem may own the biggest prize in music,

the Grammy, for best album of the year for his aJbum Tbe MarchallMatbm I-P. My problem isnt with Eminem; it's rvith the raliditv ofnominating his album. in my opinion, his album isn't even the besthip-hop album ofthe year.

Many people involved rvith hiphop don't pay much attention tothe Grammys for one reason: respect. They never seem to nominatethe right people, and the people decidrng the award just dontundersand the culture, The average hiphop listener ivill tell I'ou thehip-hop album of the year was Dr.Dre's Clronic 2M1, This, and atlzut three other afbums, Ghosthce Killah's Supreme Clientele.J^v Z'sVolume 3, and Common s llke Water For Cbocalate, are better rhanEminem's. All of these a.lbums have a theme, Supreme Clientele wasnot even nominated for a Grammy

The onlv theme nresent in Emrnem's album seemed to be his

whining and complaining about other musichns. not even in the hip- ., rhop genre. The album is filled with,malicious arucla toward tlre , rBackstreet Bop, *NSvnc, Brirnql Spears and Christina ,{guilera.Thae people have nofiing to do with rap music. He atmcla peoplewho cannot fight back,

Vhen he's not talking bad abour pop stars, he's usually discusinghis dislike of rvomen and gay people, I believe hiphop music is oftena misogynisdc an form, but even so, I believe that manywomen tookhis album too seriously, The malority of female bashing had to dowith the animosity he felt toward his wife and mother. Additionally, Idon t condone his treatment of the gay communiry but in the rapgenre, "gay" is a word used most commonly against other rappers thatare considered 'heak.' Lila anithrng in this country, controversysells. lt is, after all, only this controversy that Eminem can claim as aconcept for the album,

So, the problem lies not in Eminem, but in the Crammy selecdonisell A long list could have been wrinen of albums better deservtngthe nomination. The people who pick the awuds are too out of tunewith hiphop and the people who listen to it, These are the samepeople rvho have previously given Will Smith numerous Crammys inthe past. The onlv hope is that, somehoq fairness wins and Eminern -doesn't.

0n Thursdays, Room 444 in the Tivoli houses free

Qigong lessons, led by Sreren Ridley, who has practiced themysterious art for 25 years. Qigong (pronounced "chee-

gung") is an ancient Chinese tradition involving movementand breathing exercises to improve the body's flow. he said.The flow Ridley referred to is the qi, or chi, the inner energyof the bodv. Qigong is one of many practices that help in.utilizing this energ.v for better health and achieving higherstates of being. Yoga and Tai Chi are other such practices.Ridley himself became interested in Qigong after practicing

),oga."Well, I staned practicing ,voga and the idea of moving

instead of still postures like in yoga appealed to me," Ridley

said.

Qigong should appeal to those who wish to improvetheir health and sense of being, according to Ridley. Unliketraditional meditation and yoga, Qigong achieves themovement of chi through movement of the body, without

the need to sit or lie still for extended periods of time. "lt's

something that improves the flexibility of the body but alsothe flow," Ridley said.

Upon observation of those rvho practice Qigong, one

notices that the different postures and movements are

markedly different than those of Tai Chi, though theprinciples behind both forms are the same. According toRidley, both are based on the movement of energy throughthe body, but while Tai Chi is a martial art, Qigong focusesmore on "health building." That doesn't mean that thoseexperienced in martialarts are not interested.

James Douglas, anemplovee at the AurariaHigher Education Center,has uken lessons in JungFu and has practicedmanv martial arts since1q77

" l 'm interested inthis type of exercise," hesaid.

There are also thoservho are simplv lookingfor the holistic properties

Qigong possesses. HollYHoover is a graduatestudent at the University of Colorado at Denver Hoover saidshe learned of the Qigong lessons through her meditationclass, and cited the stress such a speedy society as todaybrings to people as her reason for attending.

"I certainly see the need to slow ourselves dorm in sucha fast society and regain our senses," she said.

Ridley said there are many ways Qigong can beincorporated into one's lifestyle. "lt's a wonderful

complement to still sitting," he added. "lt's also a

complement to more aerobic erercise." El'en the medicalcommunity has taken interest in Ridlev's work. "l'm teachingclasses at Kaiser Permanente for chronic pain patients," hesaid. In addition to its aid in pain management, "lt seems to

lmpoftance aboutcommunity," Miles said."lt's important to havelocal music. It's just so great. lr makes us feel good about beinghere."

The crowd became quiet. The music started. The sound ofresonating chimes echoes rhrough the old brick church. Vithinminutes, the room erupted wilh rich textures of a musicalconversation - completely improvised. At rimes, the

conversation was civil - a gentle chat benveen friends. At timesthe conversation became more intense as tntmpJt, sa;<, cello andguitar - collectively known as the Amber r,mbrella - franticallyexchanged stories, followed by sedate, refl( .tive moments.

"l listen to what I want to play, what the other musicians wantto play, and whar the room sounds like," Miles uid. "Usuallywhen I'm improvising, I don't get nervous. I'm fust trying to thinkof something."

Usually, tr{iles is the front man in his groups. This night, heplayed second trumpetto Lowe. who played rheguitar for Miles'recording My CruelHeafi.

"lt's good to entersomeone else's musicalworld," Miles said, "ltgives me a helpfulperspective in being aleader With Farrell, it'sreally good and liberatingto say, 'let's go plavwithout anything setup."' The two have beenplaying together since1986, when Lowe movedto Denver.

"Ron's a great guy, and it's an honor playing with him," Lowesaid. "He has one of those personalities where people just wantto get close to him,"

It's been a busy year for Nfiles. ln adCition to his full-timeteaching position at Metro, he has plalied several venues aroundColorado and V1'oming.

"One thing I was really surprised with was how many peoplewere familiar with our music," Miles said. During the summer,Miles linished recording his sixth compact disc, which should bereleased within the yeac

"l just listened to it again for the first time in a couple monthsand thought 'l really tike this,"'Miles said. "The songs have atunefulnes. I think my pop allegiances are more stated on thisone than the last." Miles' recordings, like his concera, highlightthe diversity of his music. Miles wrote his first composition whenhe l'as a freshman in college.

"lt was reallv simple and predictable," he said. A professor hehad while studying at the i\{anhattan School of Music, horvever,saw a spark of talent and encouraged him to continuecomposing. Today, trliles' work is anything but simple andpredictable, He draws inspiration from all types of music, andstamps them with his unique style. His last cd, Ihb, fearuredDenver jazz fixtures Eric Gunnison on piano and Kent McKaganon bass. 0n the new cd lt{iles moved arvay from the trio format,recording with a larger band. rvhich features several notableDenver musicians such as guitarist Ross Martin, bassist ArtieI,loore and drummer Rudy Ro,vston. Mihs rvill perform Feb. 24 atTrios in Boulder from 8 p.m. to midnight with two musicians,Mark Dalio and Bijou, whom he heard playing at the Purpletr{artini in Denver.

"There was something about their sound," Miles said. "Vhensomeone makes an interesting or compelling sound, I want to getin with them. lfs fun to expand the communitv and see who's outthere."

Miles said he is grateful to have his music receive bothnational and international recognition.

"Vhen I grew up, there weren t and still aren't rhat manymusicians that get any kind of recognition outside of ourcommuniw." he said. "l feel verv fortunate."

team's 104-92 win over No.22 Nebraska-

Kearney, the players' smiles could have lit

Denver's slcyline.But besides the smiles of happiness, they

were also smiles of redemPtion.The Roadrunners had Pulled off the

impossible, sweeping both Kearney and No. 18

Fon Hays State and showed that they were still

one of the best teams in the Roc$ Mountain

Athletic Con[erence.The rvins sent a message to the rest of the

teams in NCAA Division Il: Be afraid. Be very

zfraid."People's eyes are open and they're like,

'Oh man, Metro State is PlaYing good

basketball in February, you better watch outl"'

senior forward Rashawn Fulcher said after

Metro's win over KearneY.It is no secret that N{etro's forte has

become its zealous full-court defense, and it

became Fort Hays' downfall,Yet, there was no evidence that this t1'pe of

plav had anything to do with lt{etro's grinding

79-76 win over the Tigers Feb. 16.The victory handed Fort Hals (1i-2 RI{AC,

204 overall) its second defeat to a RNfAC

opponent in 17 games, ending its eight-gamewinning streak, giving Fulcheq rvho led allscorers rvith 18 points, a sense that the tide isturning.

"Elated," said Fulcher, describing hisfeelings after the game. "lt nas one of thosebreak through games a confidence buildergame. This win lvas more about realizing thatour style of play can work. Our defense can rvinus games."

It's a defense that takes soundiundamentals, strict discipline, and a teameffon. If the Roadrunners aren't a collection ofindividuals, it's by coach Mike Dunlap's design.

"This is the hardest working team I havehad in my four years here without a question,"Dunlap said. They ve sacrificed. They veworked harder They've done all the littlethings that needed to be done."

Eventually hard work paln off. "V/e've kindof crawled our rvay to our record, which is agood record. a really solid record." Dunlapsaid. 'And now \{'e are in a psition to reallyhelp ourselres. And we've done it quietly."

The following night, Kearnev (13'4, 18-tbecame the latest team to learn thar theRoadrunners (I2-5, \i -6) are that silentassassin. who strikes at the most opportunetime, just before the conference toutnamentbegins.

"!(re're still alive," said sophomore pointguard Clayton Smith, who had career highs inpoints (19) and assists (9). "Ve are sleepers inthis RlvlAC."

Just trvo weeks ago, after they lost threestraight games - including road losses at FortHays and Kearney - observers were readl- towrite Metro off as anlthing but contenders forthe NCM Division ll crown.

"The expectations have been rery high onthis group, and some of it not iustifted, butthafs what goes with rvinning," Dunlap said.

Vhatever those expectations are. lt'letrobacked them up rvith the two rvins.

Coming into the games, Metro was theunderdog.

But the Roadrunners felt right at home atthe Auraria Elents Center, since For! Hals and(s21nsy haven't rvon in Denver since the 1996-

97 season.''V/e have nothing to lose," Dunlap said.

"The ke,v for us is to play with recklessabandon,"

Whcn rhel finallv took to the c.rurt againsLFort Hays, tr{etro rvas pressing, stealing andforcing turnovers as if rhis was the nationalchampionship game.. Thcy attacked thc f igcrs'ball handlers like killer bees.

Four minutes into thc game, the score wasI,letro 14, Fon Hars 0. The onlv thing theTigers had to shorv uas five turnovers.

"ln a rvay thev probably rveren't used to thepressure," said senior center Kane Oakley, whofinished rvith 10 points. "That has an affect onevery team that we play, because no otherteam in the league applies the defensivepressure like we did today."

But the point explosion did not lastforever

The Tigers kept cutting into the Meno leadand when the first half buzzer sounded, theRoadrunners lead dwindled to four, 42-J8.

For the first tl'o minutes of the secondhalf, the game belonged to Fort Hays guardufillie Davis. He scored the first nine points forthe Tigers, and finished the game with 11, asFort Hays took a one-point lead. Almosthalfrvay through the second half, the Tiger leadgrew to eight and time was running out forMetro.

"Our biggest challenge in this game was

not panicking," Fulcher said, "but stayingfocused on what ive wanted to get

accomplished-reversing the ball, staying up

on D, not giving up open looks and not coming

dorvn and jacking a shot up iust because theydid on the other end,"

It was back to lhe basics for N1etro, andwith that thet- went on a 13-2 run to go up 74-69. Fon Hays forward Jarod Eck missed a lay-upthat rvould have tied the game at 76 with lessthen a minute to plav. Three clutch free throwsfrom junior guard Lee Bethea, rvho scored 15points. sealed the rvin.

Thc last of the two victories were

emotional for Fulcher, Oaklev andJodv Hollins.The game against Kearney was the last

regular season home game for the seniors. ForOakley and Hollins, the night before wasrestless.

"l woke up a couple times in the middle ofthe night. I just couldn't sleep," Hollinsadmitted.

Vith a night spoiled by bunerflies, Hollinsalong with the rest of his teammates weren tabout to let anybody, not even lGarney, ruinthis game,

Feeding off the pervious night's win, therewas a confidence radiating from the Metroplayers like never before, and it wascontiguous.

Suddenly the whole team had it. Oakleydunked. Fulcher converted soft hook shots in

the lane. Bethea hit jumper after jumper

Junior guard Joe Kelly hit rhree-pointers from

the wing, from the top of the key and from thebaseline, Hollins rvas porver rebounding.

Smith was dishing, driving and scoring with

regularity; taking what the defense gave him.':{ lot of teams no* are scouting me to be

jusr a defender and not looking to score,"Smith said, "so I'm looking to score more nowand thev don't know rvhat to do rvith that."They're not prepared to deal with that.They've focused all their attention to Rashawnand Kane, Lee and Luke (Kendell), I'm just theodd man out."

Thev never trailed again and Kearneycouldn't keep up, never getting closer theneight points. By that time they were gasping forair

"(That's) a good sight," Smith said, "and

that's when we just have to turn it up."Metro shot 57 percent from the floor,63

percent from three-point land. TheRoadrunners had six players score in double'digits led by Fulcher's 23 points,

Kendell scored 16 of his 18 points in the

second half. Oakley added 16. Bethea had 10

and six assists. Kelly cashed in 13. Hollinsgrabbed 1l boards.

"You want to be playing your bestbasketball at the end of the year," Dunlap said,"hopefully we can continue to that."

Be afraid. Be very, very, afraid.

' Metro tqkes two in seqson openerNick GarnerTlc leircaoliott

Vith snow canceling the first two days of

the 2001 Metro baseball season, there could

have been worries of the team coming out

nervous and on edge.That, though, was not the case as the

Roadrunners opened the season with

convincing l7-3, 7-4 wins over PanhandleState Feb. 21.

"Ve played very sound defense all daylong," said Metro coach Vince Porreco. "The

pitchers kept us in the ball game, we didn'twalk everyone. This was a team effort, evenour bench, everyone was into the ballgame, . . but you have to have everyone going

in the same direction."In the first game of the double header,

Metro attacked Aggie pitchers from the firstinning. Senior Jarod Stulu started the inningwith a double to right field. After a sacrifice flyto left lield by junior Chad Gonzalez thatmoved Stulu into scoring position, seniorBryce Gehlen was hit by a pitch to putrunners on first and third with one out. Thenjunior Donald Gwinner came up with thesingle to right field that scored Stultz and gave

the Roadrunners the 14 lead, which Metrowould never give up.

Even though Metro put up six hits in threeinnings, Panhandle State was only down 4-0.

Then, the Roadrunners offense took overthe game.

In the next tuo innings, Metro scored 12runs on 1l hits, with the Aggies committingtwo errors.

Stutlz started the fourth inning doubling,his third of the game, then adrunced to thirdon a balk by Panhandle State pitcher N{attNeihart. After Gonzalez grounded out to thecatcher, senior Jack Edwards rvalked andadvanced to second on an error by Aggiesecond baseman Monty Molinar, whichallowed Stutlz to score. Junior David Dudleydoubled in Edwards to give the Roadrunners a6-0 lead.

Gwinner would strike again, singling tocenter field scoring Dudley to push theadvantage to seven runs. Senior Josh Vickersand junior Bill Gustin would get into thedouble game as well. Vickers doubledGwinner in and then Gustin would follow suit,getting a two-bagger that would score Vickers,

In the fifth inning, six of the sevenRoadrunners who came to the plate got a hit.Stulu led things off with a single, followed bya double from Gonzalez that scored Stultz.

Jack Edwards and Dudley each singled, withGonzalez scoring on Dudley's single.

After Gehlen was hit by a pitch, Gwinnerstepped to the plate and ripped a double intocenter field, scoring both Dudley and JackEdwards.
