Director hired for business center ;,·

-,..

By Sean Weaver The Metropolitan

Metro's School of Business hired a Denver businesswoman March 9 to be the director of the schools' U S West Center for Small Business Success.

"I'm really excited about this, and I hope to create something that will be the best of its kind," said Sharon Sherman, who will begin the position April 1.

"I have a very strong attachment to higher education," she said. "I feel strong­ly that what I was able to achieve in my life was because of a good education. I think this is a wonderful opportunity to put that into action."

According to college officials, the center will be a resource where students,

Jazzman to receive Meir award By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

Golda Meir center. The award is

given for leader­ship qualities, and Marsalis has been an important influ­

ence in jazz for two decades. He is the artistic director for jazz at the Lincoln Center in New York and has worked with young musicians for years.

"For a 37-year-old, he's been such an enormous force in jazz," Provizer said.

Marsalis won a Grammy for jazz and classical music and is the only jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize.

"He is obviously one of the most important musicians of this genera­tion ," said Metro music professor Ron Miles.

This year is the centennial of Duke Ellington's birth, and Marsalis has fol­lowed the tradition that Ellington began, Provizer said.

Last year, Steven Spielberg and Debbie Allen won the Golda Meir award for their work on the film Amis tad.

The U S West Foundation provided funding for the cen­ter's first two years of operation with a $1 million grant to the School of Business June 25. The grant will be used to pay Sherman's $90,000

salary as well as to provide scholarships and provide office facilities on campus. The center will open July 1.

Sherman said her first priority will be to analyze the Denver-area market to

determine what services the center can offer.

"I know a lot of the people in the busi­ness community personally and what a lot of them need and what interest they would have in connecting with a program like this," she said.

Sherman, who graduated from Iowa State University, is a former board mem­ber for the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Denver Partnership. She also helped create and was a managing partner of Schenkein I Sherman Public Relations and was an education and political reporter for The Denver Post.

"The center will be another way for the college to connect with the communi­ty," she said. "At the moment we're think-

ing that (for the remainder of this year) we will do more pilot projects," she said. "We expect to be fully up-and-running next year."

James Robertson, dean of Metro's School of Business, said the search com­mittee interviewed seven applicants for the position, all from the Denver area.

"We wanted someone who was very much aware of the business community and the economics of the metropolitan area," he said.

"(Sherman) is well known in the business community and will be a tremen­dous asset in helping recruit members to the center's advisory board and in serving the business community," he said. "She realized how important the center must be to the faculty, students and business."

Senate leader criticizes proposed policy By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

Metro's Faculty Senate president said she is disappointed with the changes in Metro's sexual harassment policy that would require reporting of suspected sexual harassment.

'The biggest problem I hear about is the clause about the obligation to report hearsay, rumors and slander," Monys

Hagen said at the March 24 Faculty Senate meeting.

"Excessive reports will dilute reason and it will become harder to determine what's rumor and what's truth in sexual harassment claims," she said. ''People can report things second-third-or-fourth-hand."

The policy revisions are being written by Lee Combs, college attorney at Metro. Combs could not be reached for comment.

The policy revision aims to prohibit behaviors and environments that could lead to litigation. Under the revision, victims can claim harassment regardless of the offend­er's intention.

'This policy is a more expansive way of explaining sexual harassment than the previous policy," Combs told The Metropolitan Feb. 24.

Archeologists dig Auraria artifacts By Lisa Opsahl-Lang The Metropolitan

In the 19th century, before Dumpsters, most Denverites threw their trash into their backyards.

A hundred years later, the state con­siders that trash to be historical artifacts, and the dirt five feet under Auraria campus is teeming with it.

Construction crews digging trenches for new plumbing pipes unearthed historic trash during the first phase of the Ninth Street Park restoration project, which began last ~ummer.

A century ago, where the south class­room now stands, a house burned down, said Marcus Grant, an archeologist with Paragon Archeological Consultants. After the house burned down, people began using the site as a trash dump.

Grant was surprised at the number of intact artifacts.

"I'd say we only found JO percent of what's under there," Grant said.

Grant found more than 200 bottles, spoons, skeleton keys, and the skeletal remains of a "big, old, dead dog that was probably a family pet.

"Anytime artifacts are found, an archeological monitor is called to super­vise and catalog the findings," Grant said.

"I thought it was going to be a big yawn. I thought I was going to be looking at dirt all day," Grant said.

Grant said the trash dates back to the

Courlesy Auraria Higher Education Center This house, at 1015 Ninth St., will be the first on Ninth Street Park to undergo renovations in April with funds from the Colorado Historical Society. Workers will strip the exterior paint to treat the brick walls and replace rotting wood on the porch.

I 870s and continues up through the Depression era of the 1930s.

Grant said the site could be used as a field school for anthropology students to dig up more artifacts.

"If the anthropology department is interested, it would have to get the state's blessing to do it, but I'm sure the state would be pleased to do it," he said.

"When artifacts are found on state

property they need to be housed at the state facility in Boulder, but Boulder is full. They don't want this stuff," Grant said.

He said he hopes the Auraria Higher Education Center wants it.

Jim Kelley, facilities director of AHEC, said he would love to display the artifacts in some of the houses at Ninth Street Park.

From right, Jeffery Ellis, Brendan Haymaker, Angell Perez, Dolph Grundman, Jennifer Darnell, Al Soto, Ruth Burns and Hektor Munoz: toke part in a candidate debate March 24 in the Tivoli Multicultural Lounge.

Candidates present platforms at debate By Micaela Duarte The Metropolitan

Student government candidates said they would confront issues such as parking, student involvement, and communication between students and assembly members at a meeting March 24.

It was the first of two debates among candidates for Metro's Student Government

Assembly. The second will be held March 30 in the Tivoli Multicultural Lounge.

"One of my goals is to get as much stu­dent participation as possible," said presi­dential candidate Angell Perez. "My focus is to get a higher number of students involved in the elections and involved in voting."

Downtown workers frequently park on campus, and that takes spaces away from students, Perez said. The new SGA should

focus on keeping students at Metro and keeping students focused on their studies, she said.

Brendan Haymaker, current vice presi­dent of student fees, is running for president with a group of candidates called Student Voice.

"I believe I can make a change in our student government as it stands now," Haymaker said.

see CANDIDATES on 6

Rosemary Fetter, AHEC communica­tions director, said it would be a waste to store the artifacts in Boulder, or in the basement of the Colorado Historical Society.

"We should put them in the Faculty Club, the Mercantile, or in the conference building where people can see them," Fetter said.

Ninth Street Park received a grant from the Colorado Historical Society for $386,000. The second phase of the reno­vation, building repairs, will begin in April.

According to a report from Andrews and Anderson Architects, which has been working on the project for two years, Ninth Street Park needs $750,000 in repairs. The grant from the Historical Society plus $350,000 from a state fund for upkeep of public buildings will pay for the repairs, which include roof replacements and win­dow frame and exterior door repairs.

1015 Ninth Street Park will be the first building to be repaired, because AHEC wanted to begin renovating the most damaged houses, Kelley said.

Kelley said the grant money will go for outside repairs only. Contract bids came in higher than expected and some projects had to be shelved. Kelley said repairs to the insides of the buildings would focus on structural repairs. Money for new carpets, linoleum and paint would come from the general maintenance fund, if and when it is available.

Proposal irks Faculty Senate president POLICY from 3

Combs cited two recent Supreme Court cases as reasons for the revision. He said Metro wants to add it to make distinc­tions about types of harassment.

A vote by the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado is expected at the end of April. Hagen said this vote is too soon and should be postponed so Combs can "step back and think about what he's doing." The department is trying to meet theApril deadline without thinking about the consequences of not studying the proposals thoroughly, she said.

Another part of the policy change she said bothers her is the consequences of false accusations.

An earlier revision stated disciplinary charges would be filed for false com­plaints, now it states that charges may be filed, she said. There's a difference in the wording and Hagen said the revision backed out of disciplining anyone who made false accusations.

Hagen also said she didn't approve of the revision that allowed for a hostile envi­ronment created unconsciously. She said with the new language a student who did­n't approve of a professors lecture because it contained sexual material could file a complaint against the professor.

Prospective jurors will be called in panels of 70, according to a memoran­dum issued by District Judge Jeffrey A. Donnell.

Additional jury selection dates are set for March 29, 3 I and tentatively set for April 2.

Opening arguments and presenta­tion of evidence is expected to begin April 6.

Student candidates present platforms CANDIDATES from 5

Haymaker said he would take an active role in student involvement and lobby for the rights of students.

"Each student has a voice," Haymaker said. Haymaker said his party would bring the student government to the students.

'There is an obvious lack of communi­cation on campus," said Jennifer Darnell, a presidential candidate. Her party, Students for Students, would like to send newsletters from SGA to students documenting assem­bly activities.

"I believe our ticket .can make a differ­ence," Darnell said.

Presidential candidate Ruth Burns backs the Student Sword group of candi-

dates. "We've got the smallest ticket run­ning," Bums said.

Bums said she's concerned that stu­dents' Social Security numbers are being used as student identification numbers. That opens the door for privacy violations, she said.

Lobat Asadi, candidate for vice presi­dent of Communications, said she would hold an open forum with the Financial Aid department and students. Mutzi Brown is running for vice president of Diversity, also under the Student Sword ticket.

Al Soto and Jose Silva are running under the ticket name Hoo-Ya. Soto, a pres­idential candidate, said he would push for a four-year moratorium on increases to fees for parking and tuition.

Soto said students should have a good time at Metro, and be sure to graduate.

Silva is running for vice president of diversity. Soto said he would like to imple­ment more technology at Metro such as voice recognition systems on computers.

The Met, a nickname thats already worn out

Kyle Ringo

UNCLE BALDY

"If you don't like it, don't use it."

- Debbie Thomas, 1997

Two years later, they're still taking her advice.

I think it's safe to say that this The Met charade is a failure.

Whew. Metro basically changed

its name two years ago from Metropolitan State College of Denver to The Met. There was an uproar from students who didn't like the change, at least as much of an uproar as there ever is here. It caused Thomas, who is an assistant vice-president of College Communications, to utter the previous quote.

So I was noticing last week, as I followed the coverage of the Metro men's basketball team in the two Denver newspapers and on local television news, just how much of a fail­ure it is.

Both papers refer to the school as Metro State. So, too, do the three major local televi­sion news stations.

Does Thomas think changing the name has been a failure?

"No I don't," she said. "If you talk to any­one who does these kinds of identity cam­paigns, they will tell you it takes three to five years to know if it has been successful."

The keystone piece of my failure argument came courtesy of the basketball team's 2112 hours on national television March 20. During the broadcast, CBS referred to the school as Metropolitan State. The Met? Nada.

That's failure folks. It seems to me that if you want your iden­

tity campaign to work, you ought to let the television folks see your ID before they put it on the tube. Thomas dido 't know if that had been done. She said athletics director Joan McDermott might have talked to somebody about it before the game. Obviously that neve~ happened or I wouldn't be writing this col­umn. I doubt McDermott ever even thought she might have to do that.

Thomas also said she thought McDermott had conversations with local sports reporters about using the moniker. Queries to both sports departments at the two Denver dailies revealed both had no idea the college even wanted to be called The Met, and one assistant sports editor said he wouldn't publish the name regardless.

Once again, failure. "We've got to give it another two to three

years," Thomas said . "It's entirely too early." So what is going to change in two or three

years? That's what I'd like to know.

1 Debate' a comedy of 1 ideas' Tiii MUIOPOUTAM

EDITORIAL

Student Government Assembly elections are April 5-7.

VIEWS:

We wanted goals. An agenda. Basic knowledge of Metro news.

We wanted more than third-rate, self-important political drivel.

What did we get? As one candidate summed it up: communication and diversity.

Candidates left voters little choice.

That's not enough. Student government

candidates held a so-called debate in the Tivoli March

24. But it certainly wasn't a debate. It was some­thing more akin to limp posturing in front of a mir-ror.

If this was a contest of looking most like the opponents, we hereby nominate every Student Government Assembly candidate for first prize. The candidates for student representation, most of them trying for jobs that pay $500 a month, were virtual­ly indistinguishable.

Ruth Bums

I'd like to set the record straight: Student government does not mean these are kiddy jobs. These are positions of influence and power. That said, our president should be hired for the same rea­sons as any candidate for any other job: the candidate's motivation, dedication and qualifications.

Motivation. I became involved with student issues in 1996 when

political science professor Robert Hazan was denied tenure, an action that outraged many students. I became more involved while helping a friend to receive disabil­ity accommodations. I met Metro President Sheila Kaplan and other college officials, and also met their tendency to misinform, misdirect and generally mistreat students like naughty children. This didn't impress me, so I refused to go away. After working independently until 1998, I ran for the office of student representative to the Board of Trustees for the State Colleges in Colorado, Metro's governing board, primarily because the board hires and fires the college president. Now, I am running for Student Government Assembly president because other people have asked me to, and because it is extremely important for our president to be professional, disinterested and knowledgeable about the issues.

Dedication. I am extremely dedicated to the student of Metro. In 1996 and 1997, I spent hours every day pur­suing issues, reviewing records, budgets and laws, and meeting with top officials of Metro and Auraria. In my current SGA position, I travel all over the state commu­nicating the Metro student perspective to the governing board and the legislature. I continue to be a watchdog for disability issues and take an active part in SGA meet­ings. This represents a considerable investment of time and energy, which I am fully prepared to continue.

Qualifications. My year as an SGA member has educated me on the issues: parking, childcare, atten­dance, ad infinitum. At the board level, I have observed the big picture for Metro and other state colleges. Through the Colorado Student Association, I deal with higher education issues effecting students around the state. My experience with SGA and my connections with administration and faculty make me the most qualified candidate for the presidency.

See for yourselves. The Metropolitan asked each presidential candidate to write a column on why students should vote for them. The pieces appear on this week's editorial pages.

Everyone agrees: Diversity is important and students should be more involved in campus events. Well, duh.

Face it, students will be as involved as they have time to be. That's not going to change. And "diversity" has been reduced to a buzzword, refer­ring only to groups of people that have been histor­ically oppressed. Most people say the word only to counteract fear of appearing to be insensitive to that oppression.

Of course these are important issues, but candi­dates should spend less time talking about them­selves and more time presenting a specific plan for making Metro a better place to attend classes. But don't just set out goals, tell us how you intend to accomplish them.

Debate organizers have promised greater sub­stance at a second debate March 30. The prospects don't look good, but we can only hope.

The FORCE is the Students for Students slogan.

It speaks about our goals, motivation, integrity and philos­ophy. The Students for Students ticket is exactly what it says -we want all students to feel com­fortable approaching any one of

Jennifer Darnell us with concerns, issues or sug-gestions they might have. With us, there is opportunity for

everyone's voice to be heard. This is the most impor­tant message to you. We feel that a strong student government is one that supports all members while actively representing the student body as a whole. Be assured that effective student representation is our top priority. We are committed to representing the student body aggressively.

There are several other issues on our agenda. We will address racism, sexism, homophobia and dis­ability issues, as well as childcare. With your help and input, we will make a formidable team. We want better communication between the student body and college administration. We plan to actively improve communication by publishing a monthly newsletter, extending office hours to the evening and attending campus functions. It is also our intention to install a billboard for the exclusive use of SGA and incorpo­rate a suggestion box for all students to easily express their concerns to us. This will make SGA accessible to all students.

The members of Students for Students have worked hard to decide on attainable and realistic goals. We are organized, hard working and deter­mined to make the changes that are important to you. I would encourage each of you to seek out the candi­dates, attend the debates and ask questions.

Student input is essential to the success of this election and next year's SGA.

Please contact either a member on my ticket or myself and get to know us. I am confident that once you have talked to us you will vote for Students for Students and The FORCE we represent. When elec­tion time arrives, vote for my ticket members: Taryn Browne, Jennifer Smith, Lisa Wohletz, Jeremy Perkins, Hektor Munoz, Helen Giron-Mushfiq, Kerrie Dallman and Vic Vela.

and promotes the rights of the student body. I believe a more active role is needed by the SGA to encourage a more involved student body throughout the campus. That is why I am running for Metro student government presi­dent. In fact, that is the major goal for my entire ticket of Student Voice 2000. We believe we should bring the student govern­ment to the students, to advocate for their rights and to ensure that each student has a voice.

· The skills and education I have acquired through my life, I feel would benefit student government. I have served in the United States Army, which gave me the discipline and lead­ership skills that can make me an effective president. Along with my service in the mili­tary, I have also worked for the City and County of Denver, been active in many non­profit and fundraising organizations and have experience in writing bylaws, policies and procedures. Being the vice president of stu­dent fees in the present SGA has given me great insight into the understandin& of what it takes to be a successful student government president.

The Student Voice 2000 ticket is dedicat­ed to a more active roll in students school life. As a ticket, we will inform the students. We will listen to their concerns. We will advocate for the rights of students. Bring the student government to the students. Ensure that each student has a voice.

We will take action to inform faculty and administrators about student concerns.

Our combined experience and education have given us the tools to properly fulfill the positions. Student Voice 2000 could add a sense of pride and an outlet that students will be able Lo access.

Vote for me and the Student Voice 2000 ticket this April 5-7. Let your voice be heard for the choice of the new millennium.

For the academic year of 1999-2000, I have chosen to run for student government president. I'm striving to have the opportunity - to bring new, much needed representation

Angell Perez to student government. What has prompt­

ed me to run is the lack of an actual stu­dent voice and student participation in stu­dent government historically here at Metro. Historically, we have had low voter turnout at student government elections and overall participation with student gov­ernment by students.

I, too, did not feel the need to partici­pate. Although I did not participate in stu­dent government and elections, I have been very active on this campus in all dif­ferent aspects and have indeed been a stu­dent leader.

I now know, as a natural leader, I must step into another arena and take on the responsibility of representing myself and my fellow students within this bureaucra­cy at Metro.

Too often, students do not realize the power we posses and continue to work within a system which is supposed to cater to us but in fact does not meet our needs as non-traditional working students. A large number of students feel as though their vote was a useless effort and often. times didn't feel represented by the candidates. I share these feelings with the students and therefore know I can provide an avenue for all students to voice them set ves through.

I am not running to make "Angell Perez president," I'm runn ing so that finally students can have a true voice and someone who will truly represent their needs as students here at this institution.

I am not here to give lip service and waste time.

I am here to take action and represent the needs of students at Metro, who are paying hard-earned money to receive an adequate education and to demand we have resources to make the struggle for that education a less complicated road.

Don't ignore debate Editor: To the description of the mediocre cov­

erage of the swim team as noted by Jess Schwartzkopf, kindly add in the debate team. Coach Schwartzkopf expresses malaise at the "pathetic coverage" of the team's worthy efforts. Further, the hard­working coach is upset at the small column dedicated to explaining the efforts of the team. Frankly, the minute "head shots" of Metro's swimmers are a portrayal of gar­gantuan proportions in comparisons to the coverage of the Debate Team.

host for the British debate series, hosting two gentlemen with higher degrees and more academic accomplishments, frankly, than many professors at this institution. Response from this newspaper? Absolutely nil. The team has been honored with exclu­sive invitations to highly prestigious speak­ing engagements. We have worked in the community, for the campus foundation and in a series of academic functions. In two days, we leave for yet another national tour­nament. Our students represent some of the finest that this college can offer. Coverage from your newspaper? One paragraph in the past two years - a paragraph, incidentally, that was loaded with errors.

Mandatory bus pass unfair to ·the students who drive

Why should an academic activity receive any coverage at all? Simply, the team has brought attention to this campus in numerous ways. Our record has included a variety of national, regional and state awards. Examples include having one of the top nine ranked teams in the country, more individual championships and awards than most teams at this campus, and have been honored by a number of governmental offi­cials including the governor. The coverage for these accolades: absolutely none. Further, the team hosts a large conference each year, drawing some of the finest schol­ars from across this country to our campus. Coverage: non-existent. We were recently honored with being awarded the position of

I can understand how the swim team feels. I know that my team's sacrifices and work have gone unnoticed for far too long. In comparison, however, the swim team and the '1uggernaut" of basketball are in the deep end of coverage while we are left floundering. This statement is not to suggest that the coverage of the sports teams is unearned. Nor do I discount the efforts of coach Schwartzkopf. Perhaps, however, your newspaper should be much more equi­table and effective in your coverage.

Scott Gratson director of debate

Editor: It brought me great pleasure to see

the "RTD 'Alms Bus '" cartoon in The Metropolitan on March 12. What it looked like fO me was a motorist pulling up alongsicfe an RTD bus and noticing the money ji)OUring out of the tailpipes, while at th(! same time the riders have their hands out begging for more.

I know this story well. Working with Jon Caldara, the for­

mer chairman of the RID board and the current president of the Independence Institute, I've learned how students' money is wasted on mass transit systems.

Every time a mandatory bus pass has been proposed for Metro professors, it has swiftly been voted down. What do these people know that the students don't? That the bus pass doesn't work.

Listen to the truth about the bus pass. It hasn't had any measurable impact on air pollution. If you say that it has reduced parking congestion on cam­pus, you need only use your eyes to see that it has been a failure.

Don't listen to the threats that if you vote no on the bus pass the sky will fall and parking will cease to exist. Next year, there will be 4,400 spac_es at the Pepsi Center that will sit idle 97 percent of the time (mainly during the hours that we have the most students on cam­pus, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you think that those businessmen who built that arena are going to let those lots sit idle, you're crazy. They will smell the market, and the money will open up those lots.

On the last week of March, vote no on the bus pass. Not to say no to mass transit so much as to say yes to fairness (let those who use the bus pas pay for the bus, no one subsidizes the fees for campus parkers) and yes to sensible government. Tell student representa­tives to send you a real choice next year. Put a mandatory pass up against a vol­untary one and see which wins.

"The staff and players are responsi­ble. That's where it starts and stops for me."

Kyle Ringo Suffer together. That's the say­

ing on the T-shirts. Each Metro men's basketball player has one.

It's more than a motto. It's a bond. And that's why they are so good. There are lessons to be learned from

this team. They suffered together, through their

tireless work, all the way to the national championship game. Then they suffered some more watching their dream die on a Louisville, Ky., basketball court. Metro finished second in a field of close to 300, which is a first for this school.

The Roadrunners practiced at 6 a.m. While most students were still snoring and some were just brewing their coffee, these guys were waking up to wind sprints.

Work hard, treat people right, be worthy of respect and everything else good parents try to teach their kids are epitomized here.

Obviously not every basketball team is filled with thugs jawing like gangsters, skipping class, committing crimes, but we see enough of those stories across the land to build up stereotypes.

This team destroys them. If you're a student here, you can be

proud of this team for that reason alone. And it is not making a mockery of the name of the school that will be on your degree.

The brightest light ever shined on Metro, during 21/2 hours of national tele­vision time, showed it to be a place you wouldn't mind having a degree from because of athletes like Rashawn Fulcher, who is one of 50 students in the nation to be awarded a Jackie Robinson academic scholarship.

A new era began this month at Metro. As long as coach Mike Dunlap stays here what this season's team did will continue to grow. That benefits all of us because it improves

Panthers too big to overcome Championship game defeat won't ruin great season By Jennifer Youngman The Metropolitan

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Four thou­sand screaming Kentucky Wesleyan College fans and seven Kentucky Wesleyan seniors were too much for the

the first half. The Roadrunners shot only 27.8 percent, scoring 22 points before the break. Junior Lee Barlow, who led the team in scoring throughout the Elite Eight tournament, scored 13 of Metro's first half points.

the five-point play. According to head coach Mike Dunlap and Metro players, that play shifted the momentum back towards Kentucky Wesleyan.

"I think the five-point play was the turning point in the game," said junior DeMarcos Anzures. "It broke our backs."

The physical match ups inside proved Lo be a key. Kentucky Wesleyan senior Antonio Garcia dominated the boards with a game high 19 rebounds. However, the Roadrunners out rebounded the Panthers, 43-39, including nine from sophomore Kane Oakley.

Oakley also contributed three of the four blocked shots that Metro had, which moved him into fourth on the career blocked shots list at Metro.

While the Roadrunners were tough on the boards, they could not get their shots to fall. From inside the three-point line Metro shot just 34.7 percent against the Panthers. Outside shooting was even lower as Metro made only two of 12 three-point attempts.

Anzures struggled Lo get his offensive game going against the· Panthers' defense. He went four of 15 from the field and missed all four of his three-point attempts. Anzures finished the game with eight points and a good defensive showing.

"He did a great job," Dunlap said. "He made a change defensively that will help us next year. There are other ways of contributing than scor­ing and he did that."

While Anzures played well defensively, Barlow and junior John Bynum picked it up on the offensive end. Barlow scored a team high 19 points and Bynum scored 15. They were the only two Roadrunners to score in double dig­its against a bigger Kentucky Wesleyan team.

The Panthers had four players who scored in double figures. McDonald and Pat Critchelow each put up JO points. The Panthers' powerhouses Williams and Garcia scored 15 and 22 points, respectively.

Anzures and Barlow were named to the Division II Elite Eight All­Tournament Team. Garcia was voted the most outstanding player of the tour­nament.

Garcia will not be in the tournament next year, but the Roadrunners will, Anzures said.

Barlow shoots high, scores big

By Jennifer Youngman The Metropolitan

I ~ big games, big players make big contribu­t10ns.

In the NCAA Elite Eight tournament, junior Lee Barlow was Metro's big player. he

helped the Metro men's basketball team advance to the national championship game.

Entering the tournament, Barlow averaged 13 .9 points per game. In the Elite Eight tournament he took his game to a new level. He led the Roadrunners in scoring throughout the tournament, averaging 26 points per game. He attributed his success in the tournament to his teammates.

"The team feels confident with me," Barlow said. "The credit goes to my teammates. They work at getting me the ball, and it makes it easier on me."

In the first round Metro faced Salem-Teikyo University and Barlow scored a game-high 33 points to lead Metro to victory. This shattered his previous career high of 22. One of the keys was his free throw shooting. He was 17 of 20 from the foul line.

"I took my opportunities," Barlow said. "I was either fortunate enough to get fouled or make the bas­ket."

Barlow was close to having a double-double in the Salem-Teikyo game. Using his strength inside, he finished with nine rebounds.

Truman State University was the next opponent Metro faced in the tournament, and Barlow continued to dominate, this time earning the double-double which had eluded him in the previous game. Barlow finished the game with a team-high 11 rebounds and a game-high 26 points, despite scoring only five points before half time.

In the second half Truman State made the same mistake as Salem-Teikyo, sending him to the free­throw line eight times. Barlow took advantage of the opportunity and finished 10 of 12 from the free throw line in the Roadrunner victory.

However, Barlow's big contribution to the game was a six-point run he made in the second half as Truman State tried to battle back, Mike Dunlap said.

"I think the key moment of the game for us is when we went inside to Lee and he delivered on six straight points," head coach Dunlap said. "I thought that was pivotal in pushing them away."

Metro did push Truman State away to make it to the championship game. There they played Kentucky Wesleyan College on national television. Once again Barlow led the Roadrunners in scoring with 19 points. He went to the free-throw line once, and made one of his two shots. Barlow had only five rebounds in the game against the bigger Kentucky Wesleyan team.

Kentucky Wesleyan's 6-8 senior, Antonio Garcia ,scored a game-high 22 points and pulled down 19 rebounds. It was his massive size that got the better of the Roadrunners, according to Barlow.

"He's the player of the year," Barlow said. "He's tough, he's strong and he's a big boy."

While Barlow was quick to praise Garcia, the Roadrunners were quick to praise their tour­nament leader.

"Lee's definitely been player of the week on our team," regular­season scoring leader DeMarcos Anzures said.

Barlow's performance in the Elite Eight tournament earned him praise from others as well. He and Anzures were both named to the NCAA Division TI Elite Eight All­T911111jUilent tearµ.

What is diversity?

15

It's the differences that make each person unique. Understanding diversity begins with understanding how you see yourself, your place in the world, and your own uniqueness.

Why should we learn about diversity?

• Because diversity can enrich your life and our world. Understanding and appreciat­ing differences can help you gain new insights and outlooks.

•Due to our enlarging diverse population, it's becoming increasingly important to have an understanding of how different people are alike or 1mique.

Here are some tips about how you can get more out of your diverse relationship:

• Be open about differences

• Don't assume anything

• Encourage questions

• Make your feelings known

• Be accepting of others

Reichers pulling double duty Junior doing the iob both on the mound and at the plate for Metro

By Troy Olsen The Metropolitan

Sometimes, Metro baseball player Dana Reichers can beat a team with his arm. He has two wins and a save to his cred­it this season.

Other times, it's Reichers bat that has been doing the damage. He is batting .341 and leads the team with' seven home runs.

Still other times, Reichers has been able to do both. He does them equally well and that is what caught Metro head coach Vince Porreco's eye.

"Dana is athletic, and we wanted to use him as a pitcher and as a position player," Porreco said. "He had success in junior col­lege doing both."

Reichers started play­ing baseball and won his first trophy at age 5. He was All-Conference m 1993 at Eagle Valley High School and was All-State in 1994 and 1995. He set the record for most doubles in a season at Colorado Northwest Junior College with 19, and had the high­est batting average at .450. He was also named first team All-Region.

When Reichers trans­ferred to Metro, his main

reason was not to play baseball. It was for acade­mic reasons.

"This is the only school in the state of Colorado which offers my degree (Surveying and Mapping)," Reichers said.

The double threat of Reichers bat and arm is what makes him so impor­tant to the Roadrunners team, according to Porreco. Not only does he currently lead the team with I 0 dou­bles, 30 RBI and 63 total bases, but also has two wins, a save and an ERA of 1.000 this year. Reichers likes playing both aspects of the game, but isn't sure where he likes to play best.

Dana Reichers

"That's a tough one cause I love to hit," Reichers said. "I like them equally the same right now. I'm not sure I could lean from one to another."

Reichers has the bless­ing and the curse of being the only left-handed pitch­er on the Roadrunner pitch­ing staff. He finds this

thrilling. "It's exciting because

you know you have to go out and get the job done," he said. 'There are no other left-handed pitchers out there. I'm the only one so either I get the job done or I don't."

Reichers is a great example that players can do more than one thing on the field. Very few college players can do what Reichers is doing at Metro.

"It is very difficult at the college level to do both," Porreco said. "We usually bring pitchers in to pitch. Dana is an exception to the rule in most colleges, in practically all colleges."

Most college players see college as a stepping stone to the pros. However, Reichers isn't like most college baseball players. He concentrates on bis job right now.

"Right now I just go out and do my job as a hit­ter and a pitcher to fulfill the expectations of my coaches and the team," he said.

If the pros did come calling Reichers would prefer to play m the National League so he could continue to use his strengths.

Whether it's pitching or hitting, only a baseball scout can tell.

. A local photographer pushes perfection through patience

Colorado Rockies cakher Jeff Reed waits for pikhing change in the last game of the 1998 season. Bobbi Evans· Truesdale's favorite genre is sports pho­tography.

Hillary Clinton initiates a dance with the other first ladies at Winter Park during the Summit of the Eight in 1997.

Bobbi Evans· Truesdale hangs out in the press box in Chicago's Wrigley's Field in 1995.

By Tim Fields Photography by Bobbi Evans-Truesdale

ne Denver photographer has a reputation for wait­ing for the perfect shot.

She waits patiently for just the right moment.

When it happens, boom, Bobbi Evans-Truesdale captures it, then walks away after taking just one photo­graph.

"I like one-of-a-kind shots and, boom, that's what I shoot for," Evans said. "It's quality that I'm after, not quantity."

Evans' work will be on display for a one-night show at 6 p.m. April 2 at the Denver Press Club at 1330 Glenarm Place.

Her work is a menagerie of histor­ical moments in Denver. Evans has covered a variety of subject matter in her 10 years as a professional photog-

rapher. Some of her images, such as Hillary Clinton kicking up her heels in a dance, a terrified 9-year-old boxer preparing for a fight, and a skinhead being beaten in a riot that erupted dur­ing the 1990 Martin Luther King Day celebration, display her wide range of coverage.

"That riot was a very nervous time for me," Evans said. "I saw the shot I needed, boom, then took off running."

Evans, winner of two awards of excellence from Photo Forum maga­zine, has worked for several Denver newspapers and magazines and cov­ered politics, social issues, celebrities and sports.

A photo-essay in The Urban Spectrum's July 1993 issue featured Evan's year-long coverage of the Broderick Bell shooting. Six-year-old Bell was shot in the head during gang­related violence in Denver. She met with and photographed gang members who were asked to ensure safety at the resulting peace march in 1993.

'These guys were rough, yet they trusted me enough to take some photos of them," Evans said. "I try to be non­threatening when I approach my work.

March 26, 1999 The Metropolitan 19

I guess I'm just a regular kinda' gal." Evan's work was also featured in

Marketing Journal magazine, and it displayed one of her favorite pho­tographs.

The piece is a close up of a high school quarterback on a cold and muddy day in 1996. His look is intense and powerful.

"I could've taken a thousand pho­tographs but when he looked into my camera, boom, I took only one," Evans said. "I knew I had the photo I needed."

Tom Pade, owner of the Marketing Journal, said, "Bobbi is one of the best photographers I've ever worked with."

He said Evans treats photography as an art form instead of just going out to take a bunch of photographs.

History is the major focus of her work, Evans said .

"I like to capture history because we are all made up of it," she said. "It's the individual moments that make up our lives."

Sandy Robbins, president of The Pro Lab, a photofinishing company in Denver, said Evans is a wonderful pho­tographer.

"The images she creates are fan­tastic," he said.

The Pro Lab is providing the print­ing, processing and mounting for Evans' exhibit and will feature the show after April 2 at their store at 1200 W. Mississippi Ave .

Evans said her apartment holds more than 40,000 moments captured on film and it is difficult to decide on which pieces will go into the exhibit.

"I have to go through lO years of shooting, and that's not easy," she said.

Evans' collection of celebrity images is vast. Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison and Mickey Mantle are among the list of pho­tographs that may be featured in her show. Evans said she once got Roseanne Barr laughing so hard at a party that Barr insisted that Evans take her photograph.

Sports photography, however, is Evan's favorite genre because of the graceful moments she captures on film, Evans said.

Photographs of prominent sports figures on and off the field will be pre­sented in Evans' exhibit, she said.

Many photographs at Evans' show will be offered as a "1/1," and will be the only image produced from her neg­atives.

Evans said she couldn't imagine her life without photography and the thrill of capturing that one perfect shot.

However, Evans said, "I usually take only one shot, but I have to admit, when I saw Hillary Clinton doing the cancan I couldn't resist, boom, boom, boom - I took a few more."

I magine Frank Sinatra living in the suspended world of Twin Peaks and you have Alien Fashion Show.

The band is the lovechild of a Dean Martin, David Lynch and Judy Jetson menage a trois. Its music brings forth that kind of spacey ambiance with driving beats, haunting horns and a croon­er at the front.

to try something new. Moving away from rock, they jump-started a space­age/swooning lounge sound that later got stereotyped as swing.

March 26, 1999

Drummer Jeff Daetweiler is in a cramped van March 15 with bis four band­mates and a tour manager somewhere between Buffalo and Cincinnati. He is two weeks into the Freschetta Mirror Ball Tour, where Alien shares the bill with swingin' California peers New Morty Show and Blue Plate Special. The tour is playing small clubs, and it hits Denver's Ninth Avenue West (99 W. Ninth Ave.) March 26.

"The swing scene was just starting in LA, and people were like: 'Oh, you're a swing band.' We were placed in that cate­gory by the people who saw us perform," said Jeff. "But we're not your traditional swing band. There are great bands that are much more into swing and are much more in tune with its tradition. Royal Crown Revue is one of them. We borrow from the beats and the sounds and then do some­thing completely different."

You might have heard of Alien Fashion Show. It opened last year for the Brian Setzer Orchestra all along the West Coast, including the Paramount Theater. The quirky name is simply part of singer Eldon Daetweiler's fertile imagination.

"If you listen to the lyrics, it's all about this hip alien chick Babs and her adventures in the galaxy," said brother Jeff. "He actually thought up the whole concept of Babs as out mascot: A sexy alien chick like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy."

The band got together in Los Angeles in the summer of 1997. After multiple failed attempts at forming a band (off and on since Jeff was a 19-year-old college drop-out), the Daetweiler brothers wanted

The now-35-year-old has a band with a Surf Dog record deal, with the financial backing of Surf Dog's parent company, Hollywood Records.

Alien was gaining popularity in LA when Eldon and Jeff were daydreaming about hitting the big time.

"We were thinking of a major estab­lished artist we could open for, and I had just bought Brian Setzer's Guitars/inger. Setzer just happened to be coming through town to the Greek Amphitheater."

They called their agent and suggested Alien open for Setzer. She chuckled and noted it was a tall order, but said she'd try.

A few weeks later, Alien was playing The Mint and who shows up, front and center, but the Stray Cat himself.

"He was incognito and wasn't wear­ing his pompadour up. He came up to us after the show and was very complimenta­ry."

Alien opened a Los Angeles show for

IT"S NIKE WITH A RETAIL SPIN.

ENOUGH SAID .

Setzer, and six months later it played again with him at a New Year's Eve concert in San Francisco. Alien and Setzer had a short and sweet tour of the west, and Alien recorded their first album, a self-titled jaunt that covers Kiss' Detroit Swing City, The Police's Roxanne and a handful of their own excitable tunes.

"It all just kind of went warn-barn. But the whole Setzer thing proved critical in getting us a record deal."

But the life of a successful touring band isn't quite as Jeff had pictured.

'These van seats are really uncom­fortable. I always thought you would become successful and things would become easy."

They're still having fun, he admitted. "It's totally wild to play a club in New

York, across the country from where we live, and see people mouthing the words to your songs."

As for the Freschetta Mirror Ball Tour, the bands are getting along nicely.
