Pedestrians forced to be light on their feet have prompted Auraria to put a light on the street.

The Parking Advisory Committee, re­sponding to requests from students and faculty, recommended that traffic lights be installed at the intersections of Seventh and Curtis streets, and Seventh and Walnut streets.

Auraria put in a request with the city, and it got results.

Lights are in place at both intersec­tions and one - the light at Seventh and Walnut - is already working. The light at Seventh and Curtis should be operat­ing as of Nov. l, according to Mark Gallagher, interim director of parking.

Dean Wolf, director of the physical plant, said that the city will pay 100 percent of the cost, wbich he estimated at $25,000 per intersection.

"The intersections are city streets, so it is their responsibility to pay for it," Wolf said.

"Auraria asked the city to put up lights because it was difficult for pedestrians to cross on Seventh Street," Gallagher said. He added that the light at Walnut Street will make it easier to exit out of Lot E during rush hour. 0

RIEFS Study finds. minority programs deficient Free dorms offered

Teikyo Loretto Heights Uni-versity announced this week it will offer the use of dorm rooms at no charge to full-time U.S. students of any college campus.

The college has empty rooms and wants to offer them as a public service, and to benefit Teikyo students by giving them a greater opportunity to mingle with Americans and improve their En­glish.

There are currently 351 Japa­nese students attending the uni­versity and officials are planning to expand next year to also attract American and European students.

Julie Pezze The Metropolitan ._ __________ _

A recent Metropolitan State College of Denver accountability report reconfirms the need for ad­dressing minority academic con­cerns and continued establishment of programs targeting minority retention.

While the Hispanic and black population consists of more than 25 percent of metropolitan Denver's total population, mi­norities account for only 13 per­cent of MSCD enrollment.

According to a 1988 MSCD program proposal, minorities have only a 60 to 70 percent high school graduation rate while their white counterparts have a graduation rate of more than 80 percent.

All state colleges are mandated to accept a 20 percent total enroll­mentof"window" students. Those are students that couldn't meet the general admission requirements, but were allowed by this accep­tance program.

This fall, 27 percent of those

'

state-mandated acceptances were at MSCD, while 14 percent of Metro's minority students met col­lege admission requirements, said David Moore interim director of MSCD's Academic Assessment and Support Center.

During the last four years, MSCD has begun to design and implement a number of programs aimed at minority recruitment.

The accountability report, which comes out every fiscal year, is designed as a tool to monitor and improve the quality of student performance and programs.

In the fall of 1989, MSCD be­gan pre-assessment testing of all first-time, degree-seeking students. The examination's goal was to test students on their abilities in read­ing, writing and math so that cor­rect academic course placement and advising would enhance stu­dent retention.

The test is required of all in­coming freshmen and is an en­cumbrance on registration. In each category of the 1989-90 pre-as­sessment test results, minorities fell below the overall passing percent­ages of other students taking the

test. Because minority students may

begin college with a disadvantage, MSCD started the Freshman Year Program. The program provides students with a three credit-hour seminar and ongoing academic advising.

Ethnic minorities are repre­sented in the program (20-25 per­cent) more than in the overall freshman population (20 percent).

Moore said that the retention rate for freshmen taking the semi­nar is 12 percent higher than for those who don't.

Included in the '89-'90 ac­countability report were the results of student satisfaction surveys taken by continuing students and non-returning students.

The continuing students were enrolled from fall 1989 to spring semester of 1990. Of the 1,035 student surveyed, 166ofthosewere minorities. And the of the minori­ties responding, 85 percent said they were satisfied with the pre­assessment testing.

A higher percentage of minori­ties were dissatisfied with the Freshman Year Program (8 per-

cent) than were the rest of the re­spondents (6 percent).

The Student Support Services Program is also designed to aid in retention and graduation rates. The program is available to low in­come or first-generation college students. According to an MSCD retention activity report, 81 per­cent of the l 60 students served by the program in 1989 were minori­ties.

But according to the account­ability survey, 3. 7 percent of those minorities who participated were dissatisfied.

A total of l,148 non-returning students were also surveyed, and minorities accounted for 593 of those.

Financial aid was one signifi­cant issue that surfaced as a reason minority respondents left MSCD. Not enough money and difficulty in obtaining financial aid were rea­sons cited by 21 percent of the minorities.

The report's summary ofMSCD assessment costs totaled $231,023 and is expected to reach $277,787 by fiscal year '92-'93.

The costs include personnel, capital research, program evalua­tion, assessment and advising. 0

The Clean Air Colorado Cam­paign brought out the big guns Oct. 31 to announce revisions in the criteria for declaring high pol­lution days in the six-county Denver metro area.

Flanked by Denver Mayor Federico Pena and John Leary, the program's deputy director, Gov. Roy Romer said that vis­ibility would now be a main factor in declaring high pollution days for the region.

The three spoke at a press conference at the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce.

The new standards, which go into effect Nov. l, mean that the Colorado Department of Health must issue a warning when the concentration of Denver's infa­mous brown cloud reaches acer­tain level.

Currently, high pollution days are declared based on the levels of fine particulates and carbon mon­oxide in the air.

"We've come a long way in our fight to reduce carbon mon­oxide pollution along the front range," Romer said. "We need to

'":,. - .. ·- - - -- -

make more progress on the brown cloud."

But as Romer was quick to point out, the new stan­dard could be mis­i n terp$e ted by people who will see the resulting in­crease of warnings as a sign of back­sliding just months after the EPA lauded Colorado for its im­provement in air quality.

"Calling high pollution days based on visibility will probably mean more pollution days. This is a concern for some. There is a fear that it will hurt the

we're starting to get nationally," Romer said.

Romer went on to assure the conference that the increased number of high pollution days will only be a reflection of higher stan­dards.

According to Anne Grady, Clean Air Colorado coordinator, the brown cloud technically has no center of concentrated pollutants

as carbon monoxideemmitted from cars tends to drift near the area where it was released.

"That (Carbon monoxide) is a different problem," she said. "The new visibility standard affects the brown cloud, but it's likely that where one is reduced the others will be also."

Auraria Higher Education Cen-

ter officials stated that nearly 10,000 cars park at the Auraria Campus each day with only 480 of them belonging to people who are carpooling.

Romer was joined in his opti­mism by Pena who suggested that, in the long run, Denver will only stand to gain from the new stan­dards. 0

Brown pushes for educational funding, diversity Armanda Olvera The Metropolitan

U.S. Republican Senate candidate Hank Brown said that he would like to see institu­tions of higher education encourage diver­sity - not discrimination - in their ad­missions processes and increased funding for education.

Education should be a top priority at both the state and national levels of government, Brown said during a recent telephone inter­view.

'Tue key has to be a commitment to quality and a commitment to equal opportu­nity so that all of our citizens who are capable of doing the work at a college or university level can attend," he said.

Brown said that he has supported educa­tional issues in Congress. However, his opponent, Democrat Josie Heath recently accused Brown of voting for cuts in Pell Grant funding.

Brown denies the accusation. "I have voted .against budgets in Con­

gress that are over budget," he said. "When we've had individual votes on Pell Grants, it's one of the programs that I have sup­ported."

Brown said that one of the programs he sponsored allows employers to exclude $5,250 of educational assistance for em-

ployees from their taxable income. He said that allowing employers to help

pay for their employees' college classes without being penalized is particularly ben­eficial at Metropolitan State College of Denver and other schools where many of the students work at part- and full-time jobs.

"I think we ought to do all we can to encourage the assistance that can come from an employer under those circumstances," he said.

The candidate from Greeley also said he would like to see increased funding for work-study programs, Pell Grants and stu­dent loan programs. One provision that he co-sponsored as a bill allows the interest on student loans to be tax deductible.

Brown opposes Amendment 1 because he thinks the amendment is too cumbersome to be enforced.

"We have literally thousands of special districts in the state," he said. "Amendment I would be so complicated that it wouldn't be functional. It simply would impose such a burden on a multitude of elections in votes that Amendment I would be a nightmare to enforce."

The candidate has been criticized re­cently by some local media and Democrats forusing television ads to make exaggerated claims about his own deeds and false accu­sations about Heath.

Brown also has been criticized for a fund-

The 50-year­old Denver native's political career has spanned 18 years. He be­came a Congress­man in 1980.

Brown's work experience in­cludes being a businessman, a lawyer and a CPA.

'Mile Zero' author coordinates reality and adventure in Key West Jiii Radecki The Metropolitan

Thomas Sanchez read part of his latest book, "Mile Zero," with a slight air of hu­mor and sarcasm, at a book reading and autographing party at the Auraria Book Center Oct. 25.

A crowd of 25 people attended the read­ing to see the elusive author speak and read parts of his book. Although few in the crowd had read the book, most were determined to read it in the future.

"Mile Zero," named for Key West, which is the zero mile mark, and for the place Sanchez likes to call home, is a novel of a forgotten island and its potpourri of resi­dents involved in seemingly mythical events, but also events based on actual incidents.

protested the Vietnam War. But now disen­chanted, he tries to escape the guilts of his life in a bottomless bottle of Haitian rum.

His meanderings around the small island ofKey West bring him in contact with a young Haitian refugee and a myste­rious Southern woman. Justo Tamarindo, Sanchez' favor­ite character and the local de­tective, plays a devil's advo­cate-like character and forces St. Cloud to take a renewed interest in life.

Sanchez' style of writing is similar to that of Mario Vargas Llosa's novel, "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter." The descriptions of the island and characters take the reader to the hot, humid city and inside the liyes of each char­acter.

"I've never been east of St. Louis, but after reading Mile Zero, I've felt like I've lived in Key West for 10 years,"

crowd at the reading. Sanchez, 46, who began writing his first

novel, "Rabbit Boss," when he was in his

seller. Once he was so poor he had to wear cardboard inserts in his shoes, then he was suddenly well-known and wealthy.

At the book reading, he told the audience about how people acted toward someone who just had a book published. Of the two percent that are aware of the author, "one percent want to kick your ass and one per­cent want to kiss your ass," Sanchez said.

Sanchez learned after his grandmother's death that she was one of his biggest fans. He was given her special box which contained two things - her favorite rosary and news­paper clippings from "Rabbit Boss."

Sanchez, who is of Spanish-Portuguese background, said after his first novel was published the attention he received upset his "gyroscope" and he felt as though he was walking around with his heart tom out. He immediately pulled his book from print and then worked for the next 10 years on "Mile Zero."

He just allowed the re-publication of "Rabbit Boss," and his only other novel "TheZootsuitMurders," is being re-released in June of 1991.

The book, set in 1981, has three main images that Sanchez said he based the s.tory on. The first is the space shuttle explosion, the second is the Haitian people fleeing in great boat loads and washing up on the shores of Key West, and the third is the often obvious drug dealings in a place that Sanchez describes as a "very corrupt, sleazy town." said Vance. Aandahl, associ- Thomas Sanchez

Meanwhile, he is enjoying the publica­tion of the work on which he labored through 1000 pages and 50 to 60 drafts. According to Aandahl, "Mile Zero" is "one of the best novels I've ever read." O

~eritus program promotes senior citizen education Tammy Pacheco The Metropolitan

There is a program for everyone at Met­ropolitan State College at Denver- includ­ing senior citizens.

The Metro-Meritus program allows se­nior citizens to attend classes as students on a non-credit basis. The students attend for free, but they don't receive a grade, and they aren't required to take any tests.

'The program allows senior citizens to gain their own knowledge, but they don't have the pressure of a regular college stu­dent," said Dennis Green, coordinatorofthe Metro-Meritus program.

The program started in 1981, and Green was given the position of coordinator in September 1990.

"When everyone starts hearing about this great deal, they are going to want to take a class," said Charles Bush, a senior citizen student.

Bush 65, is a member of the Metro Lis­tening Post. He heard about Metro-Meritus through a student and searched it out on his own.

"It' s a real shame that this program is such a secret because I know the senior citizen community would love to take ad­vantage of it," Bush said.

Meritus program is going to be difficult, and he's trying to reach out to those who could benefit from it.

Green is a sociology major with a geriat­rics emphasis. Being the coordinator of the Metro-Meritus program is a work study that Green is finding to be very challenging.

Rita Schuster, 66, heard about the pro­gram on the "Senior Citizen Showcase," on public television. ·"

''I've enjoyed every minute of my French classes, and I've fallen in love with all the helpful faculty I've dealt with over the last three semesters," Schuster said.

Green said the students can attend any class on a space-available basis. Each stu­dent is required to get verbal approval from the class instructor.

'The only classes that are hard to get into are the freshman English classes and com­puter classes," Green said.

"I've never once had any problems get­ting into a class," Schuster said.

According to Green, the more popular classes are history, Spanish, computers and philosophy.

"I find it pretty funny that I've approached teachers on getting into their classes, and they have no idea what I'm talking about," Bush said, "but they're always willing to help me."

Marie Sevier, 66, said, " It's a great feel­ing to learn and not be pressured by tests." 0

November 2, 1990 THEMETROPOLIT AN 9

Football club coach targets the individual player Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan •

When Dan Hollander talks, people listen - especially the players on the Metropoli­tan State College of Denver football club team. And that's because he speaks from experience.

At 5-feet-4-inches, 190 lbs., Hollander fills the position of offensive line and strength and conditioning coach for the club after playing on the team for two years. He is working toward a degree in psychology and adult fitness at MSCD and hopes to graduate this summer.

Hollander's football career started at Lincoln High School in Denver where he was the first freshman to ever play on the varsity team. Hollander credits one incident in particular with setting the tone for his career.

He was a freshman and the varsity team was doing a drill which required two players to go "one-on-one." Hollander said he took on a 6-foot-9-inch, 220 lb. starter - and beat him. c

Hollander was 5-foot-2-inches, 140 lbs

at that time. "I knew then that I could do it," he said.

"I never looked back." But it wasn't until college that Hollander,

22, was recognized for his athletic talent. After two years at Evergreen State College in Washington, where he didn 't play foot­ball, Hollander transferred to MSCD in 1988.

"I went to Washington to get away from everything, including football, but I couldn't. I decided to come back and play. I hate' what ifs. ' I don't want to live with those if I don't have to," he said.

Once at MSCD, Hollander, who played right guard, earned first team all-conference in '88 and second team all-conference in '89, along with being recognized for having the best technique in the Colorado Football Conference.

"I saw people out there with poor tech­nique, and I took advantage of that. My goal was to be unique in a place where mediocre is the norm," he said.

He uses those experiences to help him coach and said he tries to bring out things that were brought out in him.

"A good coach is a teacher in a lot of senses. I try to help players see flaws and what to do to make it better," he said.

Head Coach T.J. Cole said that he and Hollander compliment each other with their different coaching styles.

"Dan is methodical - everything he does has a logical reason. He teaches and I holler," Cole said. "My job is to yell and scream and make sure things get done. His job is to teach and motivate."

One of the things Hollander does as a coach is try to interact individually with the players and he said that to be effective, he needs to think about the players ' feelings and their individual attitudes.

It's because of this, Hollander said, that he emphasizes the point that football isn't always team against team - rather, it' s an individual against himself.

"Football isn 't about hurting people, it's a game that teaches you about yourself and gives you confidence," Hollander said.

Hollander hopes to graduate next sum­mer and said he'd eventually like to work with athletes who are excelling in their sport and may need someone to "bounce things off of." He said he believes that although an athlete may be doing well in a given sport, he may still be very self-conscious and inse­cure.

Light-hearted alternatives to a light rail system Dave Plank

Other stuff you could do with the $67 million RTD will spend on its new light-rail line from Auraria to 30th and Downing, which was originally supposed to go all the way to Stapleton and now has even lower ridership prospects:

Maybe you could fund ASMSCD Student Govern­ment, at the 1990 rate of $56,000, for the next 1, 196 non-productive years • pay ASMSCD Student Presi­dent Dan Holden, at $400 per month, to be dishonest

Finally, if it's really burning a hole in your pocket, you could use it to fund the Pentagon for 50.49 minutes. But for some reason, RTD has passed over all these options and decided to build this light rail thing.

Gee, you'd ~ink they would have at least looked into the Zsa Zsa idea, wouldn't you?

Similar legislation in California has devasting effect Some proponents of Amendment 1 assert that

California is "getting along just fine" since the passage some years ago of the anti-tax measure known as Proposition 13. The problem with such a glib analysis is that it is dead wrong.

While Prop 13 didn't cause California to slip into the sea, it didn't exactly help it blossom either. California now $3.6 billion in debt. Butte County in northern California is broke. Some other counties, mostly rural and sparsely populated, are trying to avoid a similar fate. And, California has diminished an educational system that was perhaps the world's best.

This came in a state that was in better overall condition than Colorado is now. A significant fact that should be kept in mind is that California had a fiscal safety net in place when Proposition 13 was passed. The safety net was in the form of a $3 billion to $5 billion surplus the state used to bail out some local govern­ments and community colleges.

It was especially sad for me to witness the dete­rioration that Prop 13 caused among California's schools. Before coming to Colorado I had devoted a good portion of my life to California education, having served for more than 25 years in various posts at two community colleges. As president of Mt. San Jacinto College, I saw first hand how an extreme measure such as Prop 13 eroded the quality of education in California. Saying that an anti-tax measure such as

Amendment 1 would not affect education in Colorado is preposterous.

The first thing that happened to us in California was the loss of about one-third of our purchasing power at the college. Next, came the resignations of some of our better faculty and staff who left the state to continue their careers elsewhere. Then the more subtle effects appeared-reduced programs and services, reduced staff and library hours, few book orders for the library. Indeed, some public libraries have never recovered.

What's so frustrating about these severe anti-tax plans is that they carry with them the potential to tear apart our systems of essential services and offer a relatively few dollars savings in return. Responsible leaders cannot afford to behave so capriciously.

Colorado should be looking to build some of its services, not limitthem. We should be demanding that our state's educational system be made stronger, not weakened. For example, Colorado is one of the few states in the nation that does not fund adult literacy training. We have about 200,000 people in Colorado who lack even low-level literacy skills. Another 200,000 are estimated to be unable to perform such simple tasks as totaling a bank deposit entry and calculating a checkbook balance. This is an appalling social reality, and limits Colorado's ability to revitalize its economy.

The Colorado Department of Education points out

that eliminating illiteracy in Colorado will, among other things, "play a significant role in marketing a new business image for Colorado, improving incentives for expanding existing businesses and locating new ones in the state, and promoting rural economic develop­ment."

Without intervention, these types of problems un­doubtedly will get worse in the years to come. Sadly, we in higher education in Colorado have become aware thatthere are growing numbers of students who need some type of remedial education before they can tackle the rigors of college or vocational training. This is a great challenge, not justforColorado of course, but for our nation as a whole.

So, no matter how someone tries to dress it up, Amendment 1 is an extreme measure that will nega­tively affect growth, jobs and education in Colorado. Instead of considering such punitive measures, let's work together to offer a positive new direction for all of us as taxpayers. I think it is safe to say that many of the electorate who voted for Prop 13 now wish they had not. After experiencing the devastation caused by Proposition 13 in California, I find it inconceivable that we would wish to try a similar experiment in Colorado.

LETTERS Amendment 1 will end bureaucratic feeding frenzy Editor,

News Flash! Auraria's president and Board of Di­rectors vehemently oppose taxpayer's rights (MET., 10/ 12 & 10/19) The Amendment One tax-limitation pro­posal scares hell out of the bureaucratic hogs gorging at the public trough.

Betty Miller, Chair of that august body says we half­witted students should leave the "hard decisions" up to our betters. Faculty Rep.Elizabeth Friot says we're all too ignorant to know what's best for us. Besides, Amendment One might affect her next raise. Yeah,. that one's keepin' me up nights too, Liz. MSCD Presi­dent Brewer, who spent $30,000 (that's in American money) remodelling his office, worries the amendment will cut into his mad money.

Meanwhile, a small group of self-serving, short­sighted students being lead by their noses, are whin-

ing that Amendment One might affect their personal access to public money too. But college ain't forever baby. When these kiddies are out in the real world, watching their first-job paychecks being eaten alive by exorbitant, arbitrary and ever-increasing taxation, they'll be humming a different hit.

When you close that curtain on election day here's something to think about: Why is it the most vocal and vested opponents of Amendment One are big business, politicians and bureaucrats? The special interests are banking on students (and others) being too stwpid to figure out that voting no is simply a deposit in their bank accounts. Vote for YOU; vote yes on Amendment One.

Voter turn-out needs turning up, tuning in

Editor, God bless America. This is the country that in­

vented a democratic system of government that has been adopted, at least partially, by countries all over the world. The United States has, over and over again, gone to other countries to fight for democracy, and yet this country has the second lowest voter turn out rate of any democratic nation in the world. The percentage of voters who said they voted in the last presidential election was 50.2% . In the last congressional election (1986) the percentage of 18-24 year olds who said they voted was a pitiful 21.4% . Is this democracy? Is this a majority vote? How can we, as students and young people, demand our rights when we don't partake in the governance of this country?

November 6th is election day. We will be deciding some of our national representatives as well as our governor and several proposed amendments that will greatly affect our future.

If you would like to get more information on the proposals or the candidates on the ballot next Tues­day, come by CoPIRG's voter information table between 11 and 1 in the Student Union Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the North Classroom Tuesday and Thursday.

Even if you don't come by the table, though, please take advantage of your right to make a difference and go out and vote.

Exhibit cuts to the bone Armanda Olvera The Metropolitan

Halloween arrived a week early at the Emmanuel Art Gallery.

One piece at the new exhibit features a naked woman who is about to get sliced with a knife from her neck through her torso. Ariother work includes animal bones and raw meat sculptures.

The show features ·the works of 13 artists from the University of Colorado at Denver fine arts faculty and opened with a reception Oct. 22. One !!xhibitor is CU-Dart professor Charles Moone. One of his pieces is part of an attention-grabbing collage titled, "Psyche and Teche." This mounted piece shows a doctor holding a scalpel ready to make a long incision on a naked woman. The flesh wil1 be cut vertically starting from her neck. The picture reveals a close-up of her lower body nude.

Moone highlights this picture with a few explanations. He said that the feminine gen­der personifies the Earth, and that the two genders are out of balance.

"We've given a great deal of power to men and given little power to emotional intelligence . . . " he said. "Men tend to dominate women and carve them up as property."

· Another artist is CU-D professor Lorry Huffman. This is the Wyoming native's first semester of teaching sculpture at Auraria.

Huffman's "Packaged Deal" sculpture displays antelope bones and frozen, packaged raw meat on separate dinner plates.

The dinner setting is on an elaborate velvet tablecloth. Huffman explained that the concept has more to do with thinking about the consumption of meat than about eating meat.

"As consumers, we don't know exactly where the meat comes from," she said, adding that the consumer doesn't really know how animals are treated or raised. Huffman said that she is not a vegetarian.

Huffman's display, "Women & Children First" includes a stack of a dozen life pre­servers on the gallery's floor. Each jacket has 50 pounds of sand in it. Huffman de­scribed the piece as representing American society.

"American children are important, yet they receive the poorest health and education assistance." Huffman said. "As a result, our children are suffering." This explains why each jacket is intended for the women and children.

The CU-Dfinearts faculty exhibit can be seen at the Emmanuel Gallery at 10th and Lawrence streets, until Nov. 15. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, call 556-8337. 0

SPORTS A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor Nuggets going nowhere, but fast

The Denver Nuggets - the new Denver Nuggets - will begin the Paul Westhead era of this beleaguered organization on Nov. 2.

Now that Doug Moe is out of basketball and out on the golf course collecting a paycheck from the Nuggets, Westhead has brought more than a fast-paced, run and gun style - he's brought a sneaker-full of questions and doubts to the Mile High City.

Now that the exhibition season from the fiery abyss is over, fans are scratching their heads, catching their breath and regaining their ability to focus after watching the in­door track meet the new Nuggets call bas­ketball.

The 200-point plateau will surely be eclipsed before the season is over and it's a good bet that the Nuggets won't be the ones who break the double-century mark.

The advertisjng campaign has saturated the local market. Promotions designed to pique the fans' interest. The motto for the new Nuggets: ''Turn 'em loose."

Turn 'em loose - to wreak havoc on gasping, breathless opponents who can't keep up with the run-and-gun, shoot-'til­you-drop Nuggets, right?

This will be an embarrassing season.

Teams will be pouring in points like Norm downing brewskis at Cheers after a hot day.

Yes, the Nuggets will be tickling the twin~ to the tune of a 100 and a half or more points agame as well, but will they win? Or will they just be the laughing stock of the NBA?

They won't win much and losing won't be the embarrassment, but how they'll lose.

It's hard to decide if opponents will be breathless after playing the Nuggets because of the fast pace or their laughing at such a ridiculous basketball philosophy.

Westhead has stuck to his guns. When asked if he had an alternate plan, Westhead - right eyebrow raised - replied, "to go faster."

The season will be the telling time for Westhead and his system. When Moe was at the helm of the Nuggets he was often criti­cized for his running game, but he silenced most of his critics by winning.

With the home court advantage so prominent in the NBA, how many games can the Nuggets win on the road?

Moe's teams won in the neighborhood of 10 games a season on the road, do you thing Westhead with his system and young team will win that many?

It's doubtful. And can the high-speed

Nuggets, accompanied by the high altitude of Denver, secure enough wins to put people in the seats.

There will be fans in the seats of McNichols Arena, but most will be there to watch Magic, Michael, Larry, Isiah, Charles, Karl, Akeem and Mr. Robinson come to the Denver neighborhood.

The inevitable high-scoring games will bring fans in to watch the big names, some will come to see if Michael Jordan can score I 00 points. He might. Magic Johnson may record 50 assists against the Nuggets. Any­thing is possible.

When this season comes to an end, it may mark the most embarrassing chapter in Den­ver sports history. Even worse than the Broncos, January and February Super em­barrassments.

Records will fall, morale will fall, atten­dance will fall, answers will fall, Doug Moe's putts may even fall. But for the new Nuggets it will be an ugly fall and winter.

Will Westhead fall? And if he does will he have to announce his own firing? Th~se will be some of the questions being asked by mid-season.

In all likelihood, Westhead will last through the season. This pathetic excuse of an organization will have to keep Westhead

for a while. To fire Westhead would be admitting

stupidity. How many more blunders will it take before the Nuggets' owners will have to admit they're stupid? It doesn't matter -everyone already knows it.

Everything the Nuggets have done in the recent past has been an embarrassment.

Now they' II have the team and the results to back it up.

Halloween words for the weak It may be too late"for this Halloween but

here are some costume ideas for the world of sports:

Paul Westhead: as George Jetson. Be­fore the season is over he'll be screaming, "how do you stop this crazy thing!"

Marge Schott: a witch; no costume re­quired.

Herschel Walker: as the invisible man. John Elway: as a journalist, thenhecould

have told us in his own words what he gave out for Halloween.

Victor Kiam: as~ werewolf, no shaving required.

George Foreman & "Buster" Douglas: as small countries.

The Nuggets owners: as, of course, the three stooges 0

MSCD men's basketball -ready to roll in 1990-91 Jim Mack The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver men's basketball team is ready to make the best of a rebuilding year, said head coach Bob Hull.

The Roadrunners lost six players, four of them starters, from their 1989 squad that finished with a 28-4 record.

Those gone from the squad include last seas·on' s two leading scorers, Gene Edwards and Shun Tillman. Edwards averaged 20 points and five rebounds per game while Tillman tallied 18 points and nine rebounds per outing.

Hull realizes how important these play­ers were to his team.

"You don't lose guys like that and not be affected," Hull said. "They were both All­

A mer i can' experienced players."

Hull is en­tering his sixth year as head coach of the 'Runners and remains optimistic but realistic about his team's chances to

perform as well as they did last year. "Those kinds of seasons don't come

around very often," Hull said. "This is a transition year for us, but our

guys are ready." The Roadrunners' performance this year

also may be affected by Proposition 48. Prop 48 casualties are those who do not meet the minimum requirements for eligibility of 700 on the SAT or 18 on the ACT. They are not allowed to perform for at least one year.

In July, Hull learned that the scores of his top two recruits from the Denver area fell below the Proposition 48 requirements. Anthrius Carter from Overland High School and Kendale Johnson from Manual High School will not be in the 'Runners' 1990-91 plans. Hull said that they have enrolled in junior colleges and may be back next year if they accumulate enough college credits.

"They could have helped us this year," Hull said. "You don't expect many freshman to contribute, but these guys may have. They were both first team All-State from Colorado and we love Colorado kids."

Hull is disappointed with losing Johnson and Carter but he is happy with some of his other signees.

According to Hull, MSCD will get a boost from former Lutheran High School and University of Alaska-Anchorage for­ward Tim Moser, a 6-foot-4-inch senior and brother of former University of Northern Colorado star Toby Moser. Tim requested and was granted release from his scholar­ship at Alaska-Anchorage; thus making him immediately eligible to play for the 'Run­ners. Hull also signed two players from

junior colleges: 6-foot-5-inch junior guard Darin Dahl and 6-foot-6-inch junior for­ward Florian Miller. Hull believes that these players can help his team immediately.

"Tim Moser looks good. Florian Miller from Chicago also looks very good," Hull said. "Those two stand out the most."

Hull believes that the competition will be very strong within the newly formed Colo­rado Athletic Conference.

"The league is very balanced this year. (The University of) Southern Colorado will be very good," Hull said. "(The University of) Denver will have lots of people back and Regis (College) is always tough."

These teams are tough according to MSCD coaches and they will have to play them on opposing floors.

Construction in and around the Auraria Gymnasium will prevent MSCD from play­ing there before Feb. I.

"That will hurt us," Hull said. "How much, I don't know. It's much easier to play in the gym that you practice in. You get comfortable and confident. Playing in all different places will affect us."

When asked to describe his team in one word, Hull hesitated and replied "team."

"We play well as a team. We don't have any stars, but we play real well together," Hull said.

MSCD will open its 1990-91 campaign on Nov. 5 against the Mexican National Team at West High School at 951 Elati. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. 0

RIEFS MSCD volleyball team to play in Premier Tournament

The women's volleyball team of Metro­politan State College of Denver '!_Vill be squaring off against some of the nation's best Division II teams this weekend in the Premier Tournament at the Air Force Academy.

. The Roadrunners whipped Colorado Christian University on Oct. 27, 15-9, 15-& and 15-2.

ThetoumamentwillbeginFriday,Nov. 2 and will last until Sunday, Nov. 4. Fol­lowing the tournament, the 'Runners will have one more game, against the Univer­sity of Denver Nov. 7, before the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament begins Saturday, Nov. 10.

Women's soccer endures nightmare

The Metropolitan State College of Den­ver women's soccer team, fresh off their regular season Colorado Athletic Confer­ence championship, got a rude awakening in California over the weekend.

The Roadrunners ended their regular

season by dropping two games to their California foes. On Oct. 25, California State University-Dominguez Hills erupted in overtime and beat the 'Runners 3-0. On Oct. 28, the 'Runners were beat, 4-2 at the hands and feet of California Polytechnic State Universit)'.-Pomona.

Scoring records fall at Yunger's feet

With the conclusion of the regular sea­son, Tim Yunger is poised to break alJ the scoring records at Metropolitan State Col­lege of Denver in the men's soccer pro­gram.

Yunger now has 14 goals on the season, tieing the school mark set by Joe Okoh in 1985. Ynuger's 11 assists and 39 total points are already school records.

Greg Smith, sports information direc­torfor MSCD, said he believes that Y unger is a legitimate All-American candidate in . Division II.

With the Roadrunners · entering the Colorado Athletic Conference Tourna­ment, Smith said that any points that Y unger tallies will still be counted toward his sea­son total.

Needing only one goal to break the record, Yunger "has an excellent chance of breaking the school record for goals," Smith said.

squeezing by Regis College I -0 Oct. 27. Freshman Tim Evans scored the only

goal of the game m the first half and the 'Runners' defense made the goal hold up the rest of the way.

Mike Najar, the 'Runners' sophomore goalie, recorded his third shutout of the season and lowered his goals-against aver­age to 0.93. Najar has an 8-3 record when he's in the net for the 'Runners this season.

Following the win over Regis, the 'Run­ners will enter the CAC Tournament as the No. I seed and host school. The champion­ship game is scheduled for Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. on the Auraria Field.

The 'Runners record now stands at 10-5-1 overall and 8-2 in the CAC. The 10th victory marked the first time in school his­tory that MSCD has reached double-digit win plateau. The 'Runners' previous high was eight victories in 1985, 1986 and 1987 each.

"This was a great win for us," Dennis Daly, the 'Runners' second-year head coach said. "It was a physical game but we showed our poise and made the plays when we needed." 0
