Merit pay pushes fonuardProfessors to be graded,financial awards givenbased on performanceByANDREW-FLOHRSPENCEspencand@mscd.edu

Metro's professors will soon havea chance at bonus pay, whether theylike it or not. After the faculty's 5O-50 vote on the bonus idea overalland their reiection of the currentsystem for the awards, the Board ofTrustees voted on Dec. 7 to imple-ment the Pay for Performance plan,albeit without making a decision onthe contested criteria.

The board moved to "phase in"the plan and gave the faculty untilMay I to determine how the systemwould review them.

The faculty, however, yemain al-most evenly divided about the planthat must begin reviewing the fac-ulty this year to begin paying outawards in 2009.

"The Pay for Performance systemfor full-time faculty at MetropolitanState College means that their annu-

al income is dependant upon pleas-ing theb superiors on criteria notrelated to the quality of instruction..."anthropology professor EmeryJames wrote in an e-mail sent to Met-ro faculty fames wrote in the e-mailthat P4P is not aimed at improvingthe level of education at Metro, "butabout prodding and herding facultyinto submission through economicblachnail. "

The plan, which promises toreward professors between $2,000and $10,000 if they meet the crite-ria, r,r.ill encourage professors to ne-glect their dayto-day duties insteadof rewarding excellence as intended,fames said. He added it would fur-ther the problem oI preferenfaltreatment and favoritism for pro-fessors r,r.ho play up to departmentchairs.

P4P would score the professorsin lour areas - teaching, scholar-ship, advising and student supportand col.lege and community service- and lvhat remains to be workedout before May I is what speciflcallyeachof the categories means. Profes-sors who score above arraqe in one

of the areas and are up to standardin the others will receive a prcent-age of the money paid out dwing thecourse of the following year.

The goal is to weight the cat-egories and establish critria thatwill encourage strong teachers andnot flashy behavior, said Tat SangSo, an assistant English professorand member of the P4P committee."I think the disagreement is actu-ally positive ... everyone has strongopinions about what makes a goodteacher. and everyone's opinion isbeing heard. "

Ellen Slatkin, president of Met-ro's Faculty Federation, said a bigproblem with the plan is the money:where it comes from ald where itwill go. Funds for the awards comefiom an anount set aside in the an.nual budget that equals 8 percent oftotal professor salaries, or around$2,1 million in 2009. If the budgetshrank as in a recession. Slatkinsaid, the budget could ilry up.

And salaries will not improve inthe long run. The amount profes-sors receive in yearly salary dependson what subject they teach and

what year they were hired. Market-ing professors receive more thanEnglish professors because there ismore demand for business. Addi-tionally, faculty that was hired whenthe economy rns slow often receivemuch lower starting salaries thantheir colleagues who were hired ingood years. Slatkin said the facultyfederation wants more to be done toequalize these differences,

'A lot has been done in the lasttwo years as far as equity," saidCathy Lucas, Metro's vice presidentfor communications. Lucas said thatcompared to two years ago, Metrohad made "great strides" to even upsalaries.

"We are going to move forward(with P4P), and first the plan needsclear criteria so the faculty knowhow they are being graded." shesaid. Lucas said the trustees madegreat progress on listening to thefaculty's concerns about the planand that more and more professorswere supporting the plan.

"Everyone is on track on this .,.and there is still work to be done."Lucas said.

Plans for modular buildings put on iceBy ANDREW FLoHR-SPENCEspencand@mscd.edu

The nine trailers Metro orderedIast fall to help with the college'sspace crunch arrived during the hol-iday break, but, according to Metro'sfacilities planner Sean Nesbitt, themodular buildings won't be fully op-erational until surnmer.

Nesbitt said he hoped the trail-ers would be ready for move in at theend of the spring semestet beforeJune l.

Metro purchased the trailersfor $107,000 (including delivery),but the final price won't be knownuntil the trailers are put in place,renovated to fit Meho's needs andhooked up to utilities, Nesbitt said.He estimated the cost of renovationbetween $400,000 and $500,000and the annual maintenance to beabout $5O,OOO, according to anAHEC uhlity estimate.

The buildings, which will housemostly faculty offices but also planto accommodate one classroom, will

be located in parking lot E betweenthe Administration Building and theColfax viaduct. Nesbitt said the far-away location, while less than ideal,was forced because of future build-ing plans and the need to keep thetrailers up to 1O years.

The spot is the only one bigenough with no constructionplanned. while all olher locationshad potential confl icts.

Auraria's institutions are in des-perate need of space, Nesbift said.The Auraria Master Plan deslgnedby Studiolnsite shows that eachinstitution needs at least 7OO,OO0square feet, space that Auraria cur-rently doesn't have,

"I believe the modular buildingmakes everyone aware of the seriousspace issues we have on this campusand that we need to work together toffnd a solution," Nesbitt said.

When planning is complete, themodular buildings are expected tonot only house faculty olfices anda classroom but also a conferenceroom and administrative space.

Students eligible to purchase laptops through aidByJAMESKRUGERjkrugerlomscd.edu

For Meho students struggling this semes-ter to allord a new laptop, the OIfice of Finan-cial Aid allors qualified individuals to borrowadditional money speciffcally for a computer.

The program allows up to $1,700 to beput toward whatever brand desktop or laptopa student chooses to purchase.

The money can only be awarded once dur-ing a student's undergraduate stay at Meho,and the addifiond funds can be borrourcdagainst a student's Federal Stafford Loan, Fed-eral PLUS Ioan or alternatfue loan, which is aloan taken out from a privatc lender.

"It (the proeram) has helped a lot of stu-dents," sald Clndy Hejl, director of ffnanci6lald at Mebo. "For many students, they maynot have the funds available, and it xpanalsthe opportunity so they can purchase theirown computer."

To apply, interested students can pick upan application at the Office of Financial Aid orffnd one online at lts websit.

An estimate of what the computer will costis necessary to validate how much money canbe given out for the purchase, but an advertise-ment with the stated price is also acceptable.

Students that have recently purchaseda computer aren't out of luck either, nor arethose that a.lready have one but are seeking toupgrade.

For those students that have purchased acompu0er within the past 90 days, the saneamount of money can be awarded to mitigatethe cost or covex it completely, provided thestudent has a receipt with the date of purchaseproving that a computer was, in fact, pur-chased.

If a student doem't Deed a new computerbut is looking to tighten and tutre up the onethey already have, the Ofrce of Financial Aidallows up to $300 annualbr to be borrowed forupgrades.

A receipt or advertbement is again required as proof.

Any student that is eligible for financialaid at Meho can apply, provided that theyaren't on suspension with financial aid.

The primary reasons for a suqrnded ac-count are a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0or failing to complete 75 percent of theircredits talen at Metro.

Hejl said marry students aren't aware ofthe program and the ffnancial aid ofrce is try-ing to get the word out so more students cantake advantage of it.

Ron Olivarri is a Meho student consideringtaking out a computer loan with tbe Olfice ofFinancial Aid when he builds bis own comput-er, althougb, like many students, he worriesabout gathering more debt.

"It (the computcr loan progra:n) is a defi-nitely cool opportunity," he said. "But I don't

Metro's hunt for someone to play.the illusfrious Rowdy ended withfresh new talent and an unsuspect-ing candidate.

ltyouts for the mascot were heldNov. 8 itr the lobby of the AurariaErent Center.

While Dave Alden, assistant di-rctor for external affairs, watchedpolential Rowdies ty out for the posi-tion, Alden coincidently came acrossa small group of Metro students whohappened to be break dancing.

One of the dancers was asked tofry out, and the rest is history.

. "He was iust awesome," Alden

said. "I{e was really, rcaly giood ...basically break dancing in the Rowdy

oudt."The iilentity of Rowdy will re-

Alden said he wishes for theidentif of Rowdy to remain a secretbecause he doesn't nant the focus -around Metro's mascot to be on theman behind the mask, but on the funand mystery that is Rowdy.

. A lot of people *new who the old

Rowdy was," Alden said. "We don'twant people to start talkitrg to him(Rowdy) like they know who he is."

The anon5rmous student whowas chosen to act as Rowdy is in hissecond year at Meho and hopes tocontinue his act until graduation.

"I'm really excited," Rowdy said."No one knows who I am, and Rowdy

is universally loved, He represents ther,rtrole of what Metro is."

Since December, Rowdy has beenpresent at numerous games and, likeMetro's former Rowdy, Amber Mi-chaels, he has begun to network withother mascots re gionally.

For now Rowdy's main focus isentertaining the crowds at gamesand dodging coaches and refereeswho often complain about him get-ting in their way

'A lot of it is just going out thereand letting people know Metro hasathletes and to come out and supportthem," Rowdy said.

Speaking later in character headded, "Rowdy lol'es to dance andshoot hoops. If you got game, you cantbrow down and he will dance withyou." A neuv hce is hidden behind rhe beak cmetrot no#frbJ;:TffTt#m'"--'hinself to the position of Ror,vdy for 3-f years to re(eive a full-dde schohrslrip.

Have yottr clone and eat it, tooTo clone. or not to clone? That is

no longer the question,Twelve years ago, the world won-

dered whether Dolly the first clonedsheep, should even exist. Now, all ofa sudden. the Food and Drug Admin-istration has approved cloned food forconsumption.

At a Jan. 16 press briefing. Ran-dal Lutter, deputy commissionerfor policy at the FDA, said food fromcloned animais and their offspringis 'as sa-fe to eat as the conventionalfood we consume every day."

And because scientists cannotdetect any biological difference be-tra'een cloned food and non-clonedfood. he said. the FDA rvill notrequire companies to label theircloned products.

Mmrn, replicated cube steak.Where's the A-1?

It will still be a few years beforecloned food hits the superrnarket,but once it does, you may not be ableto tell if you are buying milk from acow or milk from an exact geneticcopy of a cow.

This is n'here I draw the line. Ma-nipulating the building blocks of lifeto grow animals is no different thansplitting the atom to create a bomb.tr shouldn't be done. But if it is beingdone I want to know about it. Likethe elTects of nuclear radiation, the

long-term consequences of cloninganimals may not be realized for manyyears. Yet we're going to start eatingtheir offspring?

Born in 1996, Dolly only livedsix years - about half the expectedlife span of normal sheep.

At the time of her dealh in200 J. scientists said she died froma common lung disease that hadnothing to do with the fact that shewas a cloned sheep.

But doesn't it seem like a badomen when the first cloned animallives a short and diseased life?

Fortunately, FDA regulators areholding off on approving the con-sumption of cloned sheep. But theFDAS hesitation with sheep shouldsound like a small warning. Therehave been problems similar to Dol-ly's with other cloned species, suchas cattle, which have been approvedby the FDA.

Is it possible scientists haven'tspent nearly enough time studyingthe effects of eating cloned food? Callme conservative, but the brakes needto be applied here. I think we need tostudy cloning for at least a couple ofgenerations before we start eatingthe test subiects.

look at the ongoing controversysurrounding FDA-approved animalgroMh hormones, which some sci-

m*{$F WS&Lffi*P}*Sffg,t*-*ii i: rm ii!, :n * s u. " * *u

entists thinl< may be causing girls tobegin their periods earlier now thant}teir counterparts a couple of de-cades ago.

Unfortunately, hormones aredifficult to trace back through thegenerations, so it is hard for sci-entists to say with any certaintywhether they adversely affect hu-man growth. But do we always needabsolute proof to decide somethingmay not be good for us?

Metro professor of biologyJoanne Odden, who teaches genet-ics and is concerned about excesshormones in food, pointed out that aclone is iust an organism's identicaltwin and said she doesn't think eat-ing a cloned animal or its byproductswould have negative health conse-quences for humans.

But, "genetics is a huge field,anything can happen," she said.And if a genetic problem ever diddevelop, tracing it back to the inges-tion of cloned food tt'ould be impos-sible because there is no way to tellthe difference between cloned andnon-cloned food. This issue is similarto the one scientists face in trying tolink hormones to health problems inhumans, she said.

Though she doesn t see anythingto worry about with cloned food,Odden is someivhat skeptical aboutgenetically modified and hormone-laden food. She is also realistic about2 lst century sustenance.

"In a perfect rrvorld. no, I r,r'ouldnot want to eat those things. But Idon't think our food supply is as pureas everyone thinks," she said.

The FDAs decision about con-sumption of cloned food should, atthe very least, make us stop and think.In 50 years its effects may or may notbe visible in our collective gene pool.But what if eating cloned steak andeggs really does turn out to be bad forus? Instead of girls growing up morequickly will boys begin walking onall fours? Or will we all grow tails towhisk away the flies?

I have ahrays been wary of hu-manity's general lack of foresight, butthese days I'm downright frightened.

Not many people dream of start-ing their own business by the timethey're 26, but that's exactly whatAndy Sturgell is doing.

AE Sturgeil sits at his desk work-ing on his website, brushing asidehis unkempt blond hair and wearingone of the T-shirts he hopes to sell fora living, he knows this is a long wayfrom where he thougbt he would bewhen he graduated from Meho in2004. Most aviation students gradu-ate from Metro, then fly at a smallerairline or flight instruct in order 0oaccumulate flight time so they canone day work for a maior airline andmake some decent money.

"I thought I would be a llight in-shuctor and work my way into anairline, but I was unhappy with thepay" Sturgell said.

He added that he nas offered ajobiostructing at the Air Force Academy,but turned it down due to the payand the commute. "I wouldn't havebeen able to alTord an aparm.ent onthat salary in Colorado Springs, andI reaft didn't want to make the drivefrom my parents' house" he said.

In Septenber 20O4, he took aiobat an aeronautical navigation datacompany and has been working onflight plans there since, but he hasr'tbeen happy.

New book del ivers'Shock' to free-market theoriesByGEOFWOLLERMANgwollerm@mscd.edu

Prisoner abuses perpetrated atAbu Gbraib were tragic and shock-ing, to say the least. But they werenot, as official investigations haveconcluded, isolated incidents. Ac-cording to author Naomi Klein, theUDitld States and its corporate allies,along with the CIA, have been or-chestrating, funding and mndoningsome of the most atrocious politicaland psychological abuses of the past5O pars. And no matter how muchyou might already believe this, thelitany is longer and more sinisterthan you d suspect.

In The Shoc*. Doctrtnc, YJelndocuments in exhaustive detail themilitary, indusfrial and politicalmechanisms that have served as thenot-so-steady foundations of today's"fee mar&et." In tale after tale ofpolitical and economic hagedy, sherewals how costJy the tte marketreally is.

this is "capitalism stripped ofib lGynesian appendages' " Klein

writes, "capitalism in its monopolyphase, a system that has let itself go- that no Ionger has to work to keepus as customers, that can be as anti-social, antidemocratic and as boorishas it wants."

This is disaster capitalism.Here's the gist counfries ffnd

themselves devastated by wars, re.cessions or natural disasters and aidis ollered by the World Bank or theInternational Monetary Fund - or-ganizations which Klein describesas influential arms of U.S. foreippolicy But there's a catch. In order toreceive aid, these cou[bdes must sub-iect themselves to radical economicpolicies that often end up emasculat-ing their governments, worseningsocial conditions and snrishing smallgroups of elites.

It all started at the Uni\rsity ofChicago in the 19 5Os under the grrid-ance of economist Milton Friedman.perhaps the most influential prophetof free-market capitalim. IIis theo-ries were kept relatively in check dur-ing the Cold War, when the United

States sffIl had an ideological enenryBut when the bastion of communismfell in 1991, fremarket ideologueswere free to do as they pleased.

But hasn't the spread of teemarkets created peace and prosperityaround the world? Hardly, accordingto Klein.

In theory Friedman's principlesmay hold political appeal, but Kleinwonders if perhaps the free market'snoble intentions are really just asrnoke screen.

Are ftee-market idmlogues"'tue believers,' clriven by idmlog5rand faith that free markets will cureunderdevelopment," she asks, "or do(their) ideas and theories ftequentlyserve as an elaborate rationale to al-Iow people to act on unfettered greedwhile still invoking an altruistic mo-tive?"

The Shor,k Doctrine is well r-searched and meticulously docu-mented, but it is not without its bi-ases, Klein, author of No I49o, makesclear where she stands on the issue offree markets.

In the end, she describes a worldof green zones and red zones, where-in those who can a{ford to protectthemselves and pmvide basic neces-sities will hole away in luxurious, for-tified compounds. Everyone else willbe left to scrap it out.

To its detriment, the ffrst halfof the book reads like a redundanthistory lesson and anyone faniliarwith the United States' not-so-secrtrelationships with 2oth-cenhrry dic-tators will ffnd nothing surprisingamong Klein's revelations. But by thetime she delves into our c,urrnt en-

tanglement in lraq, the aftermath ofthe 2O04 tsunami and the redevelopment of New Odeans, her shadowynarradve takes on a form that is asshocking as the economic motivesshe writes about. It ls a scathingindictrnent of one of the modernworld's most enduring myths: thateconomic freedom is synonymouswith political freedom.

I used to be a free-market believer- or at least an apologist. But afterreading lhe Shock Doctrino I am nowa fervent nonbeliever, an atheist ofthe highest order.

Pictureplane picture perfect hail nntesnew releases rBySTEPHANIE DCCAMP

sdecamp@mscd.edu

"Pay no attention to convention. Ripapart reality. Deshoy. Experience the sen-sations of other dimensions. Never forgetto have fun - to literally think olT thewalls. Individualism is the new black. Re-membering our magical roots."

According to Travis Egedy, this is themission statement of his one-man band,Pictureplane.

And upon listening to his latest re-lease, Ifte T\trquoise Tlail, one, if pushed,would concede that this album is indeedthe perfect soundtrack to such lofty (andslightly hallucinogenic) missions

Selfdescribed as "new age" by itsmaesho, Pictureplane's sound is by allmeans some of the best interpretationsof what most would label as "experimen-tal/noise/techno. "

Surrounding hirnself with dozensof Tound-noise samples, as well as key-boarcls and sprthesized beat machines,both of his albums (the aforemenfioned?irrquoise and 2006's Sht Red BirilThroat\have a healthy splash of glowstick maniaas well as classic art school statement.

T rquoise certainly resonates withwhat "fance" always meant in the firstplace: to listen to an album unawane ofwhat else is around you, like a smeared-together and fantastic noise-induced trip.

Pushing the envelope of what could

Planning an upcoming U.5, and Europe tour, RobertPf ant and Afison Krauss collaborated on fuiing Sond.

iust foster or destroy the song entirely,llrquoise keeps you on the edge of somecelestial seat, as you wait for an epiphanysomewhere between the sound of break-ing glass and the distorted sincerity ofEgedy's voice. On top of that, the albumalso has the greatest sampling of PauISimon's hit "You Can Call Me Al" since.well, the original, in 1986.

Born and raised in Santa Fe. N.M..Egedy first started as a producer/rapperin high school for a group cailed Think-ing In Circles. L'pon moving to Denverfive years ago to go to art school, Egedybegan to grow into his own sound, andPictureplane was born.

So what does he think of the tosryr henow calls home?

"Denver totally rules," Egedy said."There are so many talented people forhow small it is. There are also all theseunique subcultures and various stylesdoing their own liftle thing.'

And as soon as you catch Picture-plane for yourself, you'll see that it is in-evitably unique, and certainly making amark in the name of "doing their ownIittle thing." You can check Pictureplaneout at the next show at 10 p.m. Feb. 16with the band Health, at the Rhinocero-polis on Brighton Boulevard.

A:rd go ahead, wear those funlTshades. Drink the Kool-Aid. And don'tforget your Day-Glo.

I hailn't thought much aboutit, until Ben $sraank , the currentchairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve,with the belp of super-model GiseleBundchen, recently reminded me IfBmdchen was in line for lunch, let's.iust say she would not go hungry

She is so conffdent in her abfi-ties that she reportedly has writtenin her contzcts that she only accepbEuros as p.yment, Bundcheir doesn'twant any of those flimsy currenciesfike pesoc, rubbles or dollars. Shewants paid in money that will keepits value.

Bundchen has since denied thatshe made the demands, but anyonen'ho has watched the dollar lose athird of its value against the Euro inthe last five years knows the point otthe issue: TLe dollar is losing its oncemighty self-confidence,

Watching Bernanke testify lastweek before Congress, with his eyesmoving back and forth like someguilty cat clock on the wall searchingdesperate for an encourarng word,I actually lost whatever conffdence Ihad in the economy And lt looks likeI was not the only one.

Despite Bernanke's report clain-ing things weren't so bad, the mar-keb took a dive the next day. And thenent day they continued to fall evenafter Pr,esident Bush jumped in tohelp inspire. It wasn't until the Fedsmade an emergency interst rate cutthat the markets stopped the heefall.

And that, ifyou go on a good day.

Now Bernanke is hardb the rootof the problem, most analysts agreewe ar iust now paying for pmblemsthat aroee long ago, Former Fedchairman Alan Greenspan clearlyhad many of the same problems, butwhen Greenspan spoke, the marketslistened.

Alas, not ev-eryone has what it takes to deal withthe crazy lunch ladies and come backwith the hot lunch.

Sprint and shoutThe 2nd year team getssolid performances fromTolentino, Luna, HughesBy ERIC LANSINGIansing@mscd.edu

The sound of starting guns, in-tense breathing from athletes andscreaming ftom coaches indicatedthe start of the track season as Mebotook part in its first meet of the yearJan. l9 at the Potts Indoor Invitation-al in Boulder.

Iofting worils in the direction ofhis runners was Mefo head coachPeter Iulian, who is in his second yearas cross country and track coach.

During the 800 meters, Meftodistance runner Anthony Luna wasrunning neck and neck with Colo-rado School of Mines runner MarkHusted for the first 750 meters. Dur-ing the last lap of the event, Julian swords got into Luna's ear as hepassed by. and in the final 50 metersof the event, Luna overtook Hustedand took first place.

"Oh yeah, my guys listen to me,"Julian barked lvhen asked i[ his run-ners heed his call as they gallop

around the hack. 'They probablyblock everything else out, but theyknow my voice, and I do see themmake those adiustrnents. "

Results can't be argued as Met-ro's runners continue to excel on thetrack in only its second year.

'Oh yeah, I take his advice. He'ssmart when it comes to stu{T likethat, " Luna said.

Luna Was a key conhibutor to theteam last season. and his 800-meterwin is a great in&cation of how theseason may go for the sophomore.

"It felt good, " Luna said. "It's dur-ing the back strekh where you gottaget him, that's the race right there.I knew if I tracked right behind himand stayed calm in the last 50 metersof the race, I probably could come outto r.r'in. "

Luna's win wasn't the only onefor Metro. Todd Tolentino won theone-mile run in a time of 4:30.20. To-lentino's time was fast enough to earnhim a NCAA provisional time, whichallorvs him a chance to compete in theNCAA Championships in May

Only three runners competed inthe mile including Tolentino. but hisopponents were two Buffaloes fromthe University of Colorado at Boulder.

which may have been nerve-wrack-ing for the lone Metro runner.

"My coach told me to stay bhindthem and feed off of them, so that'swhat I did, " Tolentino said. "It workedout good."

Julian understands the over-whelrning feeling his young runnersmay have when facing the best of thebest in the nation.

"Colorado is Imown worldwide asone of the best distance programs inthe country," Julian said. "I think it isa liftle psychological for my guys say-ing 'hey, that jersey in front of me isblack and gold, is it OK for me to goaround them?' (My team) is startingto realize that they can beat theseguys. "

Arguably the best athlete on thetack team is sprinter Sheila Hughes.She is a superstar in the 60 and IOOmeters, and she finished second in the60-meter preliminaries with a timeof 7.95 seconds and finished secondin the finals with a time of 8.02.

Although Hughes will be the firstto tell you she has many aspects ofher game that need improvement, sheseems content in just getting the teamonto the track after winter break.

"It felt good in getting our feet wet

and to see how well we feel out there,almost like a test," Hughes said. "Ithink I need to have more consisten-cy in my starts 'cause sometimes itfeels good, and sometimes it doesn't.Coach said he is going to get us doingmore speed work so we can get ourIegs moving faster."

The second-year track tamdoesn't seem to have problems gain-ing speed in becoming a legit contend-er in the Rocky Mountain AthleticConference, and as one Roadrunnerput it, it isn't the number of runnersyou have on a squad, but the excel-lence that each athlete brings.

"I see all the other teams withquantity but our team has a lot ofquality," Luna said. "We have a tightgroup of people. From the 5,000 (me-ters) down, we've got rulners whocan run with the top guys at everylevel."_

The next meet for Metro is on Jan.2 6 at the Davies Open in Golden.

"In the past, we've always comeout of the blocks a little too slow."|ulian said on expectations for thisseason. "We've changed some thingstraining r4'ise ... These guys are soyoung and fast and I need to let thembe young and fast. "

Roadrunners'swimmingteam motivated by newleadership at AurariaByZACTAYLORztaylor2@mscd.edu

Beneath a banner that reads"Welcome to the Birdbath," [,Ietro'sinterim head coach Casey Story leadshis team through rn'arm-up laps inthe Auraria Pool.

He's only been in this position fora few weeks, but he certainly isn t astranger to the surroundings, that is.except for the welcome banner.

"The swimrners thought up thatafter I left, " Story said with a chuckle.

This was after he left Metro thefirst time, as a star on the s$.im teamfrom 2002-2006. Twice he finishedrunner-up in the NC,{A conferencechampiorships for the 100-and 200-yard breast stroke races. When hegraduated in 2006, he left Auraria tocoach high school slr'imming at BearCreek, thinking his Roailrunner dayswere over.

So when he received the call ftomMetro, he jumped at the chance to re-turn to the college level.

His swimming career began atage 9, but it sure didn't hint at hiscurrent position.

"When we come here, he explains.that you are a student before an ath-lete, " Metro swimmer Kathy Lind saidof Story.

That doesn't mean. however. thatthe new leader is in any way averseto coaching a competitive team, andhe has increased nearly twofold thenumber of reps each day in practice.The added work hasn't turned theswimmers away though; instead theyare taking a liking to the increasedworkload.

"We all knew (when Story came)it would be the collegiate level swim-

ming rve came here to do." Lind said.The problem with the previous

Metro swimming head coach, Win-throp Dyer, was not that the sltim-mers didnlt like him, because every-one said he r{?s a great lriend, butthat he wasn't hard enough on histeam. Dl,'er had a different talie as towh3r he r.r,'as not as hard on the teamas some of the srvimmers would hat'eexpected.

"I trusted them and expectedthem to be adults and go to practiceand swim hard - I didn't want to betheir surrogate mother, " Dyer said.

And there were no questions as tothe former coach's knowledge of thesport.

"Winthrop's a real good guy rmdhe knows a lot about srvimming,"redshirt senior Chris Farris said. "Buti don't think he trained collegiateproper[r"

The thought was mirrored byLind, who said that Dyer was a friendbefore a coach, and he "didn't give bisknolledge of swimming. "

Dyer's three 1'ears of coachingwere not without results, though.Diver Kenny Rhoades was honoredas an All-American in both the one-and three-meter dives, and is sel lor a

nities. " as stated in the Metro AthleticDepartment's news release.

Despite the uncertainty sur-rounding his new

.iob, Story has takenwell to his intexim position and hopeshe can continue on as head coach af-ter the temporary position is up.

"I'm thankful that (the AthleticDeparbnent) was able 0o put enoughtrust in m to operate," Story said.

The State of Colorado requiresthat Mefro opens the head coachittgjob to all applicants alter the end ofthe season, but Fafris mentioned thatStory behg interim head coach, willhelp in the final decision to pick thepermanent head coach for the nextseason.

"I'd like to shift the focus back tostudent athletes," Story said. ''I thinkit's pretty ludicrous to shorv up ineli-gible as an NCAA atlrlete."

But for all the emphasis on anincreased lvorkload for the rest ofthe season, the interim coach hasa much more lighthearted phi-losophy inspired by his senior yearhigh school club team coach JimmyRaley.

"You can still hare fun and srvimfast, he had said. I try to incorporatethat philosophy er'ery day," Storysaid.
