Tivoli layout rocked with doubts Planning committee finds problems with architect's four proposals

Barry Tobin Managing Editor

Architects for the Tivoli renovation presented four possible layout plans June 30 for the new Student Union, but wave after wave of criticism washed away any definite plans for construction to begin soon.

The epicenter of controversy centered between student services and the Auraria Book Center. All four of the plans assigned space to the Book Store in the center of the building, putting the emphasis on retail sales.

"The students disagree that the Book Store should take prime space," said Chip Wiman, MSCD student trustee. "We want the students to have the best part of the building."

~~~~~~~NEWS Briefly ...

Wild summer for kids Children, ages 9 to 13, can attend the

"Summer in the Wild" program offered in July by the Colorado Wildlife Federation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.

Kids will spend one day a week at the arsenal exploring emlironmental problems and the human impact on local and global levels. Activities include field studies, nature hikes and bus tours.

The program will be offered at recreation centers in Montbello, Commerce City and Aurora. Children do not have to be affiliated with these centers to participate in the program, but space is limited.

For more information call Carrie Warren-Gully at the Colorado Wildlife Federation, 429-4500.

"Conversations" host picked Jeff Martinez, a third year MSCD

journalism major has been chosen to host "Conversations," a weekly student­produced public affairs program to be aired twice on Sun­days at 5 p.m. on KDEN 1340 AM and at 11 :30 p.m. on KDHT 92.5 FM.

Martinez, a public relations assistant with MSCD's Office of Communications and Public Relations, began producing the show in June, replacing recently graduated Joe Marquez.

"Conversations" features interviews with leaders and experts who discuss their views on issues that affect the community.

Catalogs fin ally arrive after year long delay Brian Heider The Metropolitan

With the release of the new MSCD Catalog for the 1991-1993 school year, students are asking themselves why they had to wait over a year for its arrival.

Io Romero, staff assistant in the Office of Academic Affairs, has been in charge of putting the annual catalog out for the last seven years. She attributes its delay to the reorganization of Academic Affairs.

"When the new provost and vice­president of Academic Affairs, Dr. David Williams came in, everyone's job descriptions changed," she said. "People were shifted around because he wanted to build his own team. I was replaced, but I was the only one who knew how to put the catalog together."

She could not implement her own job descriptions when Williams took over, Romero said.

"Duties associated with my job description, which were associated with putting together the catalog, were suspended until July of 1991," she said.

The new person in charge of the catalog didn't keep Williams up to date and the catalog fell into a "very bad state," Romero said.

"It took from July of '91 until March of '92 to get all the material put together for the new two-year l 991-1993 MSCD catalog," she said.

Williams said the reasons for the hold­up was that no one was monitoring the catalog changes and individual departments had more of an involvement than previous years.

"It was more time consuming because the departments had an opportunity this

year to review the galley proofs," he said. "We got caught in a catch-22 situation. We feel bad about students having to wait."

Romero said that when students asked what guidelines to use for their general studies majors and minors during the absence of the catalog, they were told they had to use the old guidelines.

"There may have been changes after the official catalog of '90- '9 l expired in the summer of '91," Romero said. "But it was my feeling that students were to use the old catalog guidelines. There was a lot of confusion and there wasn't any consistent policies regarding general studies or major and minor guidelines."

Jett Conner, interim-associate vice president for Academic Affairs, agreed that the reorganization did add to the delay but it was not the sole reason.

"The change over last year's change of people's positions and responsibilities was part of it," he said, "but not the only reason."

Conner said an overhaul of increased curriculum changes contributed to the delay.

"The general study changes themselves were huge," he said.

Conner also said that he delayed it himself because he wanted the curriculum changes to be brought up to date.

Conner said ne did not believe that many students had problems because of the delayed catalog.

"The previous catalog just lasted a little longer," he said. "We used it and made exceptions where it was needed."

Kelly Espinoza, director of Student Support Services, said some students were concerned about the absent catalog.

"We weren't sure if there would be

Espinoza said that the absent catalog didn't interfere with advising.

"What we had were the new general study guidelines," he said. "So we made copies of them and handed them out."

Maureen Lancaster, associate director of Adult Learning Services, said the experience was an inconvenience.

"We had to rely on paper handouts," she said. "It was difficult not having the catalog right in front of you."

Lancaster said some students had problems with transfer credits.

"We sat the student down and talked about what route they couJd take to form an appeal," she said.

Clubs told to sign anti-discrimination policy Shawn Christopher Cox Joe Chopyak The Metropolitan

Taking MSCD ' s new anti-discrimination policy one step further, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board ruled June 29 that clubs cannot discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation if they want space to meet.

SACAB members voted that clubs that do not sign and return an anti ­discrimination clause will not be designated the allocated space for those clubs.

"We have designated space for all of the clubs ... that indicated they wanted space," said Chip Wiman, outgoing SACAB representative for Metro.

Clubs have been designated space, but will not be allocated space until they comply with the anti-discrimination policy.

Not included in the threat of loosing space for their meetings is club funding. SACAB is responsible only for space allocations while the Student Affairs

Board distributes money generated by student fees to fund these clubs.

If groups that do not sign the policy want to meet on campus, said new board member Opal Wilcher, they will have to rent the designated space allocated to them by SACAB.

However, because these same groups may receive funding through the Student Affairs Board, student fees may pay for those groups to meet on campus, Wilcher said.

The anti-discrimination policy released by MSCD President Thomas Brewer Feb. 20 prohibits "discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in all college employment." However, exceptions were made for religious clubs and ROTC.

SACAB is requiring clubs to submit the signed agreement by Sept. 11 without the risk of loosing space for club meetings, Wiman said. A letter notifying clubs of the new policy was sent to all clubs that applied for space.

In a campus-wide student referendum last April, 79 percent of the students who voted said groups that discriminate

memberships on the basis of sexual orientation should not have funding allocated for their meetings. However, student referendums are not binding, and MSCD policies may be set without student approval.

Phil Kaspar, a new member of SACAB, said the state government has given the committee power to enact policies. Kapsar added that even though any special interest group may lobby SACAB for special consideration, the students' intere.sts are always given top consideration.

"We represent the students, but anybody has the right to influence us," Kaspar said.

Kaspar said he expects the outgoing board's policy to remain in tact. But the anti-discrimination policy is hot on the agenda for new board members headed by UCD's representative and interim chair of SACAB, Eden Cohn.

"At this point, nothing has happened," Wilcher said. "The new board bas not actually discussed it."

Representative Young questions CoPIRG's fundraising methods

Foster named as interim chair of Metro's largest school

Patricia Straub Staff Writer

Every semester, when MSCD students register for classes, they are automatically charged with a $3 fee that goes to fund CoPIRG, the Colorado Public Interest Research Group. But students must follow a five-step proc~ss to waive the fee, which leads some wondering about the ethics of a negative check-off system of fund raising.

Pam Bloch, a former assistant canvass director for CoPIRG said that without such a current fee structure, CoPIRG could not exist because it would be unable to generate enough revenue from donations. However, Rep. Brad Young, R-Colo., said the negative check-off system is wrong because people shouldn't have to reclaim their money if they don 't want something. Young added the system preys upon people who are unaware and uninformed about issues.

The negative check-off is common practice. For example, the Colorado Wheat Committee, the Colorado Education Association, banks and other businesses use the system, according to Young. New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts have laws prohibiting negative-check off, he said. Young tried to get a bill, nick-named Kill-Pirg, passed in Colorado, but was unsuccessful.

In the Spring of 1991 , students at MSCD voted to continue the CoPIRG automatic fee assessment at registration

time, said Jon Goldin, CoPIRG campus program director. A referendum to continue the fee structure is held every three years, he said.

Young said that only a small percentage of students actually vote and that that doesn't reflect the opinion of the entire student body.

Goldin cited the group' s success which lobbied for the Colorado Clean Air Act. CoPIRG also helped stop a deregulation effort of US West that would have cost consumers millions of dollars, he said.

Goldin said that MSCD campus programs for this year include getting students registered to vote and informing them about candidates.

Bloch said most of the money raised at registration goes to the campus organizer

Joan Foster has filled the position as MSCD interim dean of Letters Arts and Sciences effective July 1, after Dean Larry Johnson resigned last spring.

Formerly the Assistant Dean of Letters Arts and Sciences and an English faculty member, Foster will remain interim dean until a permanent dean is hired, she said.

''This is going to be a challenge as well as an opportunity to continue the work Dean Johnson made," she said. " I'm looking forward to it. We have superb department chairs, faculty and staff to work with."

Foster's duties will include administrative and fiscal responsibilities

as well as recruiting and hiring. Dean Johnson taught her a lot about what a Dean's role should be, she said, and the ultimate goal is to improve the educational environment.

This is Foster's fifth year at MSCD. She was the division chair of Arts and Sciences and English faculty member at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, Ore. She also spent 14 years as chair and faculty member of the English department at Adams State College in Colorado. She received her doctorate in English from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

Approximately 54 percent of MSCD students are female, Foster said. She added that there should be more women faculty and administrative positions.

"We have to be careful on reviewing these people," she said. " In fact, we will review them a second, third and fourth time."

The position has been vacant since Larry Johnson resigned in late March after eight years as the LAS dean. Johnson resigned to accept the position of senior executive to the Colorado Commission of Higher Education.

~====~==========C ME T RY~~~~~~ Combatting racism takes discussion, com-promise FRANKLY SPEAKING Shawn Christopher Cox

Racism : Will we ever move beyond it?

. A panel discussion June 24 on the Auraria Campus focused on institutional racism and the impact and significance of the Rodney King verdict. The injustice of the verdict was the only thing the panelists could agree on.

It was good to see a discussion on campus concerning racism, but there were no surprises. The same old political rhetoric was displayed. At least the discussion was not boycotted by any community group just because Ken Hamblin was on the panel. Hamblin, a Denver Post columnist and former radio talk show host, was a co-moderator for a forum on racism June 17. Subsequently, seven black organizations boycotted the KUSA-Channel 9 forum. They say Hamblin is inse::nsitive to minority issues.

Is it worth threatening our freedom of speech to censor someone else's views because they do not agree with you? Sadly, some would think so.

The sad thing about raising racism to the level of debate, as demonstrated by the panel, is talk becomes cheap and solutions get lost in rhetoric and personalities.

It would be nice if we, as Americans, could move beyond the rhetoric. Hamblin fell into the same pit as Jesse Jackson. Neither will give an inch to their position for fear that if they did, it would somehow distort the rest of their message and image.

In one instance, a black man stood up and made the point that it did not matter how economically sound you were or what job you had when you are pulled over by the police. You are considered black first, he said, adding that he was a victim of

police brutality. Hamblin's only response was that he has been

given speeding tickets and has not been assaulted by the police. It would have been refreshing if he . had acknowledged that blacks are assaulted by police for no other reason than being black. On the same token, regardless of whether Clinton was right or wrong for co.ndemning Sister Souljah to the Rainbow Coalition, it also would have been refreshing to see Jackson condemn Sister Souljah's racist remarks.

Additionally, Hamblin said, "I choose not to allow people to hide behind color." On the face of it, this statement can be easily understood and accepted. There must come a time when each individual must take responsibility for his or her life regardless of race or other excuses one might make for not succeeding.

However, when racism is as rampant as it is in our country, which has been embedded in us, the

•• • 19c-... .,,

color of a person's skin does matter. Blacks of equal income and standing are still denied loans and housing that their white counterparts receive.

This college should make the commitment to continue these discussions. It is time to be frank with each other, examine the facts, put the issues out on the table and discuss them without falling into the usual rhetoric .

Even though I endorse the goals of affirmative action and believe racism is still rampant, the road to racial harmony and equality must be rethought.

We can no longer afford to just hand money out, but we must not hide behind fake "family values" discussion either.

The time is now. Let's not wait another 25 years for another riot to do something about racial tensions. Let's air our differences, find common ground and move beyond the politics of race.

As Hamblin said, "The question is, what are you going to do about it (racism)?"

Honesty and dialog first steps to ending racial strife MY WAY Barry Tobin

Kay is an 80-year-old retired journalist. I usually enjoy the talks we have, the

wisdom she shares and the tips she offers to help me improve my work. The other night we had a confrontation.

"What's the most exciting story you ever covered?" I asked.

She thought a minute and answered, "The night they lynched a nigger in Columbia, Missorri."

I turned away and looked out the window. "Is something the matter?" she asked. I felt angry and sad and I wanted to lash out at

her. "I don't allow people to talk to me that way," I

said. "I don't approve of the word, 'nigger,' and if you want to talk that way, then our friendship is over."

She was silent. I was silent. I stared out the window at children playing at the pool.

When I turned to look at her again, she was staring at the floor. I saw in front of me a woman I had never seen before. I noticed her fingers were twisted with arthritis and there were age-spots on

her hands. When she lifted her eyes to look at me, they were filled with tears.

It's odd, but I didn't feel like apologizing. I decided to tell my story about Jim Murray.

Murray and I were team mates on our high school football team. He was a hard-running halfback and a close friend. My mother wouldn't let him come to a party at her house because he was Black.

Despite my pleas, my mother would not rethink her decision. I decided not to have the party. I didn't want anyone to know that my mother was a bigot and my personal code for my life was just beginning to develop. When I explained to Murray why I wouldn't have the party, he looked as if I had kicked him in the stomach. I was sure that I had lost a friend.

"You should still have the party," he said. "The guys are counting on you."

"No way, man," I said. "If you ain't going, I ain't going."

We stayed friends and won a helluva lot more games.

Murray died a few years later in Vietnam. I finished my story and Kay was still silent. It felt

like a long time passed before either of us spoke. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm not prejudiced anymore.

It's the way that I was raised. Can I tell you a story?" I nodded 'yes.' Kay said that she had spent her college days

away from her childhood home. During a break from

college, the word spread across town that she had come home for a visit.

"My grandmother had had a 'colored' servant named Hallie," she said. "I have a lot of pleasant memories, about Hallie," she said.

Hallie had been a strong and loving presence during Kay's childhood, she said. When Kay had come home from college, Hallie had walked miles across town to visit.

"I asked her once, 'Hallie, how old are you?' " "She said to me, 'Child , I'm not sure. But, I

remember having a job swattin' flies away from tables during the Civil War.' "

Kay told some more stories about Hallie. It occurred to me that prejudice and racism are

diseases that affect our vision. One cure is for us to. stop seeing humans as just 'things' and 'events.'

"We have to stop seeing only differences among the races and begin noticing similarities," I said to Kay. "I think honesty and dialog among people can heal a lot of hurts."

"I hope we can still be friends," she said. "I hope you'll still come to visit me."

I promised her that I would. I left feeling better for having been honest with

Kay. If Hallie, and Jim Murray had been there, they would have been smiling. Four people would have become friends and a small part of the world would have been a little better.

July3, 1992 THE METRO POLIT AN

"Our liberty depends on the feedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." Thomas Jefferson

Stop academic apartheid at universities to improve c·riminal justice system

The purpose of the university must be to lead the challenge against the attitudes of people that perpetuate and defend the injustice of the Rodney King verdict. For example, conservative columnist Fred Barnes of the Mclaughlin Group is among those who agreed that the jury made the right decision.

For the past 12 years the Reagan/Bush administrations have besieged universities in an attempt to eliminate progressive-minded professors and to roll back the affirmative action policies that enabled people of color and women to have access to the realms of academia that have previously been the sole domain of upper-class white males.

This right-wing "rollback" affects not only professorship positions but the makeup of students who attend and graduate from higher education institutions.

Author and political science professor Dr. Manning Marable writes in The Crisis of Color and Democracy: "Black Americans earned 75 percent less research doctorates in i986 than in 1977," and, ''the number of blacks enrolling into colleges and universities is down from 34 percent of all black high school graduates to 26 percent."

Part of the reason for these declines, Marable explains, is "negative stereotypes which project most black males as pimps, drug addict, criminals

and the un-employed." Having blacks in positions of authority and respect , as administrators and professors, will provide roll models to inspire African Americans.

Marable explains how the "long term consequences of the disappearing blacks from college campuses . . . accelerates social class and income stratification," which , as we saw in Los Angeles, leads to an eruption of violence caused by hopelessness and frustration.

Universities, by teaching a diverse curriculum to students of all races by professors of all races, and avoiding the segregation within schools that occurs when, for example, black professors teach "African History" and whites teach "European History," creates and instills a high level of respect for all people and cultures.

The police, jury and conservative policy-makers who participated in, justified and continue the Rodney King type of racism show how crucial a respect for multiculturalism within all segments of society is.

Only through this respect can our racist attitudes of justice be changed. This change begins when the "Academic Apartheid," as envisioned by George Bush and Company, is effectively opposed.

Thomas C. Mestnik MSCD Student Body President

Art director says farewell After four years of employment with the Office of

Student Publications, I have decided it is time to move on. When it comes to the goings on of this campus, I must admit I've been pretty apathetic. But after four years, one can't help absorbing what surrounds their self. I've learned a lot about the administration and most of you are better off directing your attention towards your studies. I don't want to complain in this letter. Moreover, I thought I could say a few words about the unsung heroes down in Room156 of the Student Union.

First off is my direct supervisor, Kate Lutrey, the director of Student Publications. I'm not sure how long Kate has been in this position. Let's just say if you're a traditional freshman , you were probably starting the first grade. Kate works with and for the students in her office. She receives a new staff every year - editors, reporters, photographers, graphic artists, sales and front desk people. She takes the time with each one to let them know what a great opportunity surrounds them. I've often heard Kate say, "Your classes come first and foremost but you can learn here as well. Take advantage of our resources."

Everyone that works in her office has the chance to learn computers , newspaper/magazine publishing, advertising, sales, billing and the list goes on. I have learned more in her office than I could ever buy from four years of _a liberal arts education. I leave the office with enough experience to take up half of my resume and the ability to decide my salary requirements.

Some people say that Kate is too friendly with her employees (all students). Well, yes, she is friendly, but she is also a dedicated and demanding boss. We publish a weekly newspaper, a yearly handbook

and an arts and literary magazine. We sell ads, promote on-campus services and we handle our own accounting. We do it together, we do it as a team and we do it with guidance.

I watched my best friend Gwen grow with the office as well. Gwen began as a receptionist at the front desk. Because of her unyielding ways she was promoted to office manager and now handles the billing, the office staff and the dozens of questions that pour into our office daily. Gwen has had more titles at the office than anyone I've met thus far -receptionist, calendar editor, features editor, office manager, billing manager and errand girl. I give her a hard time but I'd like to believe she's a stronger person for it.

I've worked with five chief editors, the dozens that make up their staff year after year, reporters out the yin yang, Metrosphere editors and their staffs, photographers, office personnel, advertising sales people, and last but not least, graphic artists. Nobody gets paid big bucks to work at this office. Of course I did pay my rent and my dog isn 't malnourished. But we do it for the experience.

It's a shame that the office isn't given more credit by the journalism and art departments. In four years I never saw the head of either department in our office. We don't receive academic credit either. But, at the same time, my entire portfolio has been publ ished . I wonder if the journalism or art departments can offer students those credentials.

My point is that this has been the richest experience of my college career. To all of the unsung heroes that work(ed) in the office, I wish you the best of success. The experience will carry its weight when your time comes.

Spanish flick at the Esquire a big bore Patricia Straub Staff Writer

"Lovers" may have been based on a true story, but this foreign film falls short of stirring any real emotions except boredom.

Set in the 1950s, this lovers triangle is played out by Paco (Jorge Sanz), his virginal fiancee Trini (Maribel Verdu), and his temptable landlady Luisa (Victoria Abril).

The first hour of the English-subtitled film is filled with graphic sex scenes between void-of-personality Paco and Luisa's unsupported, neurotic, sex

dominating character, while the self­denying Trini waits passively.

Technical problems, out of focus camera shots and a lack of a story line from director Vicente Aranda gives such a vague knowledge about any of the characters that this tale of sexual passion and betrayal is never told.

Old Spanish villages and Gothic church scenes were the most cornpelJing shots in the film. The deformed bumps on ~Paco' s left ear were more exciting than his performance.

"Lovers" (Adults only) is currently playing at the Esquire located at 6th and Downing.

Hurley named interim chair after Ryan steps down Patricia Straub Brian Heider The Metropolitan

Barbara Ryan, MSCD journalism department chair since 1989, resigned after the spring semester to take a job at her alma mater, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Deborah Hurley, an assistant professor in the journalism department for the last five years, was appointed as interim chair until August of 1993.

Ryan was named vice president for external affairs at Swarthmore.

Her responsibilities there will include public relations, publications and alumni relations.

Ryan was hired in 1988 by journalism chair, Greg Pearson, having known each other from working at both Denver daily newspapers. Pearson died in March 1989 and Ryan was named chairwoman by Letters, Arts, and Sciences Dean Larry Johnson.

"Greg's death was a great void personally," she said. "He was a very tough act for all of us to follow because he did have such an overwhelming personality. He really was a legend in his own time."

Ryan worked at the Denver Post for 14 years as a feature writer, arts critic and TV critic. While at the Post, Ryan became the first woman editorial writer of a major western-daily newspaper. She also worked at the Rocky Mountain News for five years as a feature and political writer.

work for the Post, Ryan had never been west of Chicago in her life, she said. "I had never planned to stay more than a couple of years," Ryan said, explaining that family and friends back east are big factors in her decision to leave MSCD.

"She was able to bring an intellectual outlook to both journalism and teaching," Hurley said. "Since Ryan knew so many people in the field, she brought in many guest speakers to her classes which benefited her students," she said.

Hurley said her task is to continue diversifying the journalism department. "Our goal is to get away from 12 required courses for the major," Hurley said, "and

Rubbish/ The Archaeology of Garbage

For the past twenry years, the Universiry of Arizona's Garbage Project, founded by -archaeologist William Rathje, has been sifting, sorting and classifying the detritus of our lives - all told, a quarter of a mil­lion pounds of garbage. What Rathje and company found dispels a number of con­troversial myths about garbage, such as the idea that plastic, fast-food packaging and disposable diapers are the main culprits in landfills filling up.

Bill Rathje also discovered that trash tells a far more truthful story about what we consume than people do. Capable of de­termining our politics, income, age, sex, entertainment preferences and what we eat from what we throw out, he demystifies our current "garbage crisis" and suggests sane methods for dealing with the refuse we do have.

Interviewed by "The Today Show,· "McNeiV Lehrer Report," Time, Forbes, Omni and countless other media, Rathje's next appear­ance is at ABC. We invite you to come and hear a witty and erudite talk about the riches of insight to be gained from the trash heap.

Colorado Rockies tryout camp not a field of dreams Mike Robuck Sports Editor

On a clear blue morning June 6 the Colorado Rockies baseball team held their first tryout camp at Denver University's field. Seven Roadrunners from last year's roster took to the field hoping to make the impression of a lifetime.

The players from MSCD at the camp were right off the regular season lineup card: Brendon Peach, Andy Dewett, Juan Ruiz, Rusty Befus, Vince Lucero, Matt Nispel and Shannon Burney.

The camp was featured in the local sports pages and received prominent play from all of the television stations. Channel

Sports Shorts MSCD baseball players named to all-region team

Catcher Andy Dewett and outfielder Brendon Peach, both seniors, were named first-team selections in the Central Region. Senior outfielder Rusty Befus was selected to the second team.The Central Region is comprised of 19 teams.

Lady Kickers sign Duran Jennifer Duran, a senior from Ranum

High School, has committed to play for the women's soccer team. Duran, a mid­fielder, played on a summer-league team

4's Mark Macintosh opened his sports segment with a line about how those attending the camp could tell their grandchildren they were almost a Colorado Rockies' player.

It all sounds good. But was DU's facility a field of hope that day, or hype?

"I think they had it just to get some publicity," said Peach, an outfielder who completed his eligibility this spring at MSCD. "There were people out there who shouldn't be allowed to have a baseball glove. It was brutal. They gave everyone a quick look, but with that many people out there it became a waste of time."

Mike Swanson, the Rockies director of public relations, said 512 players signed

for the Northglenn Thunder, which won the Colorado State Cup Championship. Duran is also a member of Colorado Olympic Development soccer team.

up for registration at 9 that morning. By the afternoon 30 prospects were left. Four, all pitchers, were invited back for a closer look. How many were actually signed?

· "None, we weren't expecting to sign anyone out of that camp," Swanson said. "We had scouted extensively during the college and high school seasons, if a name would have came out on one of our lists we would have drafted them."

The baseball draft had taken place earlier in the week, June 1-3. The draft is unique because no one really knows who will be picked, in what order, or even if the first player chosen will make it to the big show. When the draft was finished 1,400 players had been picked by major league teams. So why do clubs have

the most offensive fouls. Freshman forward Andy Owens was picked as the most improved player and junior center Dan Kennedy won the rebounding citation. Junior guard Calvin McCoy won the awards for the most assists and best free throw percentage.

Baseball team signs six The MSCD baseball team took a big

step in reloading for next season by signing three junior college transfers and three high school graduates to NCAA D­II letters of intent.

The junior coUege transfers are Micky Storie, Brian Downey and Steve Knight. Storie, a third baseman from Garden City Community College, hit .391 last season

camps? Swanson said that players aren't graded

on pitching records, batting averages, or other stats from the season. What it comes down to is playing well when a scout is in the stands and then impressing the "cross­checker" scout when he comes through. If a player can't catch a scout's eye, the microcosmic shot of a tryout camp are all that's left.

"They drafted 50 players to fill 40 roster spots," said former Roadrunner catcher Dewett. "The tryout never had a live scrimmage. I thought I did well. I hit and threw well. I don't know what they were looking for. It seems like they're just hoping to find someone out of position who throws hard to be a pitcher."

and was an all-conference selection. Downey hit .371 as the starting center fielder at Colby Community College. Also from Colby, Knight compiled a 10-5 record with three saves in the '92 season.

From the high school ranks the 'Runners' signees are: Kirk Cwelich, Shane Lombardi, and Tracy Archuleta. Cwelich, from Denver Christian, was a 4A all-state performer in both his junior and senior seasons. Cwelich hit .533 last season, compiled an 8-0 record and 2.25 earned run average on the mound. Lombardi, an honorable mention selection in 6A, hit .460 for Gateway High School as the team's catcher. Archuleta, a middle infielder from Caliche High School, was a 2A all state player after his junior and senior seasons.
