Dr. Jerry Geisler, fired as dean of MSCD's School of Business on Sept. 28, said in a recent interview that he's not satisfied with the explanation and that there may be "an agenda here that I don't understand."

· President Sheila Kaplan announced Sept. 30 that Dr. Michael Brown, associate dean of the School of Business, had accepted her appointment as two-year interim dean of the School of Business and that Geisler was to assume his tenured position in the Department of

Management effective immediately. Kaplan's e-mail message offered little explanation

for Geisler's dismissal other than it was of the utmost importance that she have people on her senior administrative team who believe totally in the unique urban mission of the college.

"What's the terminology behind an urban mission?" Geisler said. '.'It may mean that I ·have a gender problem and a color proble~, I don't know. I can't do anything about it either."

Kaplan said that she had no comment about Geisler' s statement pertaining to the urban mission .

Geisler said that faculty met with Kaplan on Oct. 7 and questioned her about the firing. "They received no answers, and quite frankly there are no answers other than, by law, she can fire me at will," Geisler said.

After the meeting, the School of Business faculty and chairs passed a petition supporting Geisler. The petition stated that the restructuring maneuver was viewed as counterproductive to continuity within the School of Business and asked for an explanation for the action.

The petition was signed by a majority of the School

Health center aims to educate Meredith Myers The Metropolitan

Students who pass the Student Health Center on the lower level of thePlaza Building without ever going in might never know that beyond the well-lit waiting area lies a $1 million operation.

In the 1993-94 school year, about 66,415 students attended Metropolitan State College and the University of Colorado at Denver, all paying student fees that helped fund ·the SHC. MSCD students paid $13.7"5 per semester, and ucp students $15.

Steve Monaco, Director of the SHC said the center earned about $200,000 in internal income during that year. The combined total from student fees and internal income came to an estimated total of $1.1 million.

"We are hiring people to serve the students," Monaco said. "Eighty percent of our budget goes toward personnel, and 20 percent of it goes toward overhead."

He said the average health center, whether private or public, spends 60 percent on personnel and 40 percent on overhead. The reasoning behind the proportioning of funds is because the SHC does not want to purchase unnecessary equip-

ment that would lead t() higher costs for students.

Whether they are taking one credit hour or 18, MSCD and UCD students are entitled to brief initial consultations with a licensed medical assistant at the Walk-In Care department of SHC ~bsolutely free of charges. After the paperwork is filled out, an appointment is set with a medical

dents are open-minded . and willing tq make

reason we~re here'

provider that same day. Monaco said that determining

whether a student neel}s a more comprehensive consultation, further testing or lab work is contingent on key questions posed during the initial visit. This is when costs to the students may arise.

Coalition funds minority education Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan

Ed Romero, Executive Director of the Colorado Scholarship Coalition, handed out black polo shirts with the scholarships logo to recipients at the coalition's first meeting of the semester Oct. 3.

"The shirts are to give the students who are working so hard for their scholarship, and so deserving, recognition," said Patterson Benero, CSC deputy director.

The coalition provides scholarships for minority students who have financial need, and raises funds from companies and foundations throughout Colorado.

A scholarship was mistakenly awarded to Megan Custy, an MSCD student of Anglo descent. Benero said that the MSCD office of financial aid has Custy classified as an Asian Pacific Islander, according to an award list dated July 11, 1994.

The CSC Board unanimously agreed to allow Custy to keep her scholarship Benero said.

"I don't care bow I got in, it doesn't matter," Custy said. She added that any kind of aid for any reason is a good thing.

To be considered for a scholarship, students must have at least a 2.5 GPA and prove financial need. The schoiarship provides $2,000 a year for four years as long as the student continues to meet the requirements.

Distribution of the scholarship funds is based on the percentage of the ethnic population, based on the U.S. 1990 census report for Colorado. Hispanics receive 59 percent of the funds, African Americans 25 percent, Asians 11 percent and Native Americans 5 percent.

The coalition began last year with 46 students and jumpe9 to 150 recipients this year. Of last year's recipients, 15 left the program for various reasons and two graduated. Lisa Roy graduated MSCD Magna Cum Laude and now works for the Clayton Foundation. "It's a great idea, and it gave me the opportunity to concentrate on my studies," Roy said. ,

The Coalition plans to hold a reception for corporate sponsors in November to raise more money to put more students through the program. "We will do a dog and pony show for these corporations to make them want to be part of this program because of you," Romero said. One of the guest speakers scheduled to be at the reception is Edward James Olmos, who starred in the movie "Stand and Deliver."

Norwest Banks is the cornerstone of the Coalition's corporate sponsors . Norwest donated $100,000 for the 1994 school year along with the Coalition's office space in Prudential Plaza at 1050 17th St.

"The services we provide are competitively priced to other health centers," Monaco said. "In fact, most times, our prices are lower."

One of three family physicians, who are. contracted through the University of Colorado Health Science Center, works at the SHC every day of the week. A gynecologist is on staff on Fridays. In addition to the physicians, five nurse practitioners, one physician's assistant and three medical assistants provi£le medical care at the SHC. The administrative staff is made up of a director, a health educator, two behavioral counselors, one insurance medical administrator and a receptionist.

Professional services that the SHC provides range from first aid to annual physicals to simple lab tests to minor surgery. However, the SHC also provides free medical services like general health education.

"Reaching students when they are open-minded and willing to make behavior changes concerning their health is a big reason we're here," said Billi Mavromatis, health educator at the SHC.

"Information and inspiration is what the health center's education is dedicated to," Mavromatis said. Pamphlets line many of the walls inside the SHC, with

information conc~rning everything from HIV/AIDS awareness to eating disorders. The center will provide information on any kind of illness or behavioral disorder for free, simply to keep the students informed. She said that the center is always willing to contribute information to students in order to help with projects, papers or speeches.

The SHC also provides workshops each semester on issues that the health care providers find are especially relevant to the students.

This semester, classes concerning winning at weight loss, eating and emotions, smoking cessation and managing stress are available.

"We find that there is commonalty of what they're (students) saying," said Linda Wilkins-Pierce, behavioral health counselor at the SHC. "Most times we hear themes in students' concerns or problems in examination, and that is how we determine which workshops to hold." She also said that her help on an individual or group basis was usually available at no cost.

"I'm very respectful as to where a person is in their life," Wilkins-Peirce stressed. "Change is a process, and we'll help you regardless of where you are at."

New home for Tri-Legal Services

The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wilets

Spike Adams, Director of TISLS, can offer assistance to students with legal woes.

Christopher Anderson Staff Writer

Tri-Institutional Student Legal Services has moved to the Tivoli Student Union in hopes of gaining more visibility to students, according 'to Yolanda Ericksen, MSCD dean of Student Life.

Ericksen said TISLS' former location at the Dravo Building was hard for students to find, adding that the new location in room 308 of the Tivoli should make things easier.

Auraria students with legal problems can find help through TISLS' brokerage of information, which acts as a sort of middleman betwe<;n students and the vast body of knowledge that is modem law.

Spike Adams, Director of TISLS since 1991, said his department offers advice and information to help students deal with their legal issues.

Adams is the only licensed attorney of TISLS and ' works no more than 20 hours a week because of bud-get constraints on the department. ,._

Adams said his contract prevents him from actually representing students. He also said it would be impossible to represent that many students.

However, Adams said he can help students figure out strategies and options to deal with their legal situations. He can give information about issues or refer students to other agencies that might be able to help them more.

In one case, a student defended herself in a trial and won after being advised by Adams. According to

Tri-Institutional Legal Services is a student-fee funded program that serves registered students from Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and . Community College of Denver. The program is staffed by a licensed attorney and a paralegal who assist students with land· lord·tenant problems, criminal prosecutions, traffic/DUI cases, and family/domestic issues. Specifically, the attorney engages in a problem-solving process with the student to identify legal issues, provide legal advice and explore various strategies and options. If a case requires legal representation and/or is bey~nd the expertise of the program's attorney, the program has a referral list of attorneys who have agreed to offer a reduced fee to registered students from the Auraria. Campus. Because the program's budget only allows for 20 hours per week of the attorney's time, it is necessary to contact Christy Oark to ensure an office viSit or phone interview.

Adams, the student was being charged with assault, and wanted to contest the charges. She couldn't afford a lawyer and didn't want to accept the plea bargain.

Adams helped her plan out a two-pronged defense. The first defense was that she never assaulted the plaintiff. The second defense was that if the court found that she did assault the plaintiff, it was an act of self-defense. Adams helped her plan out an opening statement, explained evidence issues and how to conduct direct-examinations, cross-examinations and objections to hearsay . .

According to Adams, the judge said the prosecution failed to show proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and therefore sided with the defendant.

Adams said he can't advise students in matters against any of the three schools because it would be a conflict of interest with his employer.

Adams said individuals don't always need to spend hundreds of dollars on lawyers.

"They have power," he said. "With some time, with some energy, with some courage, they can make their way through the legal system."

The most frequent type of case students bring to TISLS is dissolution of marriage. This includes custody of children, visitation, and child support. The second most frequent issue is landlord and tenant disputes.

Adams said students who want help need only contact him for an appointment.

Club complaints cause change for CFC Claudia Hibbert Associate News Editor

Complaints about the "unprofessional manner" of the Club Funding Committee has created more changes for the committee's future workings.

The Feminist Alliance sent a Jetter dated Sept. 27 to Brooke McMaken, SGA vice president of Student Organizations and chairwoman of the CFC, saying the Sept. 21 meeting was "chaotic and wasteful."

On Sept. 29, the Golden Key Society followed up with a letter, saying that the committee was "biased." Both clubs for-

warded their letters to Vernon Haley, MSCD vice president of Student Affairs, and Yolanda Ericksen, dean of Student Life.

McMaken responded to the clubs' concerns in a letter dated Sept. 29 after meeting with Ericksen to work out a better system and has since changed policy for future meetings.

The following changes will be implemented for the next meeting:

CFC meetings will move to .Mondays at 3:30 p.m.

Clubs wil1 have 15 minute appointments to answer questions about

their proposals. The Feminis t Alliance and the

Golden Key Society were two of six clubs seeking funding for events.

Kathy Johnson, treasurer for the Feminist Alliance, said she had to wait for two hours to make her presentation. CFC members showed a lack of responsiveness throughout the meeting, Johnson wrote.

" An additional time consumer was the committee members asking questions which had already been asked and answered on the funding proposal that

LEGALEAGLE

The Auraria Higher Education Center recently hired a new lawyer. Elizabeth Weishaupl, an assistant state attorney general, will replace Eric Decator as AHEC's legal representative. Weishaupl's hiring was prompted by Decator's promotion within the

, attorney general's office. Her position with AHEC covers a wide variety of situations. Weishaupl said she works with AHEC personnel issues and is currently dealing with the legal logistics of liquor licenses for some of the businesses in the Tivoli center.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

The Plaza Building renovation is under way, which will provide muchneeded space for several of Auraria's faculty offices. By Fall 1996 the building will hold new offices for MSCD's departments of Psychology, Modern Languages, and Hospitality, Meeting and Travel Administration. UCD will get office space for its Communications, Modem Languages and Philosophy departments, and CCD will get space for its Business and Governmental Studies departments. The Student Health Center will remain in the lower level of the building and will be open during the renovation. Thirty classrooms are also part of the plans for the Plaza, including standard 30-40 seat rooms, some 50-70 seat rooms and tiered lecture rooms like those in the North Classroom building.

Faculty shocked at Dean's demotion Despite changes, Kaplan committed to School of Business accreditation GEISLER from page 1

of Business faculty, according to one faculty member who asked not to be identified by name.

Most of the nine School of Business faculty members questioned

Monday, even those with tenure, did not want to be identified by name. But they made their support of Geisler known with copies of a cartoon they had po·s~ed on their office doors. The cartoon showed a dog saying, "See my tail: It ain't wagging. I'm not amused."

The School of Business is presently in a candidacy status for accreditation by the American Association of College Schools of Business. There is a target goal of 1995-96 for accreditation according to Brown, Interim Dean for the School of Business.

Kaplan said "I remain very committed to the accreditation process" and that the change would not affect that.

"One of the preconditions to accreditation is stability at both the president's

level and the dean's level," said Charles Vitaska, a marketing professor. "I think we've had six deans in the last six or seven years. One can readily conclude that that's not stability."

"The change jn leadership will not have, in my opinion, a long-term or dele-

terious effect on our ability to make the internal curricular change that we h~ve to make to gain accreditation for the program," Kaplan said.

Some faculty still don't understand Kaplan's decision.

"We were shocked, surprised and outraged," said John Cochran, School of Business faculty member and former economics chairman. "Based on our knowledge of Dr. Geisler's p~rformance, we can see nothing that would justify the decision. I do not see how the demotion can benefit the School of Business, MSCD, or the community."

"The question you have t<? ask yourself is why would anyone do that to anyone else?" Geisler said. "I am a professional person. I have responded with dignity and class to this unforeseen and ugly incident."

"The thing that scares me the most is, this is fear and intimidation time. There are people standing in the hallways saying, if they can do this to you, what can they do to me?"

Kaplan said: "I had been chancellor at a university before MSCD, and there was a change of leadership there - one dean

left and another dean came. That's not atypical in the academic world. Nobody stays forever, any place."

This cartoon appeared throughout School of Business offices and bulletin boards, a silent protest to Kaplan's decision to replace Geisler.

Faculty Senate NiW~ Building expansions AHEC banks on leases No show student reps

Joe Arcese announced that four classroom space expansion projects are in the works for MSCD. They are as follows: The Tivoli, expected to be complete this December; The Plaza Building, expected to be complete in August 1996; A building on 7th Street has been purchased for renovation for the MSCD aerospace science program, projected to be complete by September 1996; A proposed addition to the Arts facility, which may include a 600 seat concert hall and a 300 seat theater, which if approved by the Auraria Planning Commission will be complete in August 1997.

Arcese stated that if 26 commercial leases which are currently being negotiated for space in the Tivoli Student Union don't come through, AHEC may dip into parking funds or raise student fees to cover costs of the Tivoli's renovation.

Liz Friot, a member of the Academic Affairs Committee, said that the two student members on the Board of Academic Standard Exceptions are failing to attend every meeting. BASE, which meets monthly, hears students' appeals for exceptions to the graduation agreement policy. According to the 1993-94 Student Handbook, student representatives who serve on the sevenmember board are appointed by the Student Government Assembly. To win an appeal a student must persuade at least four BASE members to vote in their favor, a task Friot said is more difficult if all member/ aren't present.

Displaced classrooms During the Plaza Building renova

tion, the13 classrooms in the building cannot be used. Currently, no space has been found to compensate for the loss of space, Arcese said.

Clubs say no consistency

An alert student guard noticed a man stealing a bicycle seat from a bike locked at a rack in the 1000 block of Champa Street on Sept. 28. Another student guard nabbed the man as he attempted to flee north on 10th Street. The suspect was released after the guards returned to the bike rack to rmd the seatless bike gone. The seat and post were booked into Auraria Public Safety property.

At least he had on his safety goggles

A shirtless man wearing yellowtinted safety goggles chased a male CCD student and a female MSCD student on Sept. 16 near parking Lot 0 - while exposing himself. The suspect chased the MSCD student down Colfax A venue toward Speer Boulevard, and then disappeared. The student went to The Colorado Cafe at Speer and Colfax to call police. The CCD student was already doing the same.

At least $300 in quarters was stolen from three video games in Sigi's arcade on Sept. 29. The machines were broken into and the coins removed between 8:30 and 10:50 p.m., while the game room was open. The three employees on duty didn't notice anything amiss during that time. The thieves also attempted to break into three other machines. APS has no suspects.

Wasted for only $2.25

The Boiler Room called police on Oct. 3 to have them remove a disorderly patron. The suspect stiffed the Boiler Room $2.25 for a beer he consumed, refused to leave, harll88ed other clientele, and spit on an officer who responded. The man, not a student, was charged with disorderly conduct, trespass, assault and theft.

An unidentified man whose car was towed from the Parking and Transportation Center Oct. 3. reportedly threatened a PTC employee when he went to pay his fine the next day. The suspect mentioned explosives and dynamite and stated, ''No wonder the Russians blew up their own Parliament!" He did not appear to be joking, according to the PTC employee. The employee declined to press charges, and the man was not arrested.

responded to seven incidents in which lockers have been broken into and contents stolen. Most thefts occurred in the Arts and North Clll88room buildings.

CFC from page 5 was submitted two weeks prior," Johnson said.

Cindy Coleman, president of Golden Key, said in her letter that the clubs were not asked the same questions about their events.

"I feel there is a lack of consistency, consideration and respect of others and knowledge on parliamentary procedures," Coleman wrote of the committee: "I recommend, in the future, that there be a standard list of question that the committee asks and a list a criteria that each club should meet."

The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan also questioned what the CFC's criteria was for awarding money for events earlier this year. McMaken met with CFC members Aug. 29 and the CFC forms were revised to include an abstract in case questions should arise.

The only criteria clubs must meet to receive money is to show how their event will benefit MSCD· students, McMaken said.

"The only questions asked in the next. meetings should be to clarify information," McMaken said, adding that since MSCD has over 100 clubs it would be impossible to develop a standard set of questions.

English prof doubles as Poet Jeanie Straub The Metropolitan

Sandy Doe eats, drinks, sleeps and dreams poetry.

A lover of words, the MSCD English professor leads a double life. By day, Doe teaches four classes, including the poetry writing workshop and the development of modern poetry . By night, she is a poet and performance artist.

She moonlights as a Leaping Beryllian.

The Leaping Beryllian Poetry Society is a Denver poetry workshop that was founded in 1988. It was born one winter night around Doe's dining room table and "nourished on several bottles of unpretentious Yugoslavian wine," according to Doe.

The inspiration behind the group's name? A late 1960's British movie, "Bedazzled," and folklore about Saint Beryl, who leapt from her farm boots directly into heaven.

Doe and the other Leaping Beryllians read Oct. 7 at the Highlands Ranch Man sio n as part of the Douglas County Celebration of the Arts.

Doe herself was always into words.

She credits her awakening to a junior high school teacher by the name of Earl Reum, who paid attention to her words.

But she began to write seriously when she developed breast cancer in 1975.

"I thought I might not be here very long, so I' d better

_ leave a record," she says.

The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wllets

Longtime MSCD poetry professor and resident poet Sandra Doe at home in her office In the English department In the West Classroom.

"Other poets pray to the muse to be divinely inspired," Doe says. "And I guess we hop, or leap, or

jump, or spring, trying to get elevated to do the highest art."

Among numerous accom-

plishments and performance feats, the group published a chapbook, "Silver Edge," in 1990.

Her writings then were poems of grieving and poems of the moment.

"That generally tends to be my philosophy about writing anyway - you write in the moment you 're in," Doe says. "And I know more about writing poems now, but I don't have the same passions. So those poems are

The Rev. Mort Farndu • First Presleyterian Church of. Elvis the Divine "

I don't know about you, but I'm getting older all the time. I'm starting to notice. Some gray in the hair. Eyeglasses. Strains and sprains that

once disap-peared overnight staying on for weeks like annoying relatives.

Emotional pain is taking longer to heal, too. I used to recover from broken romances in a New York second - two months, tops. The last one took two years. The heart, it seems, is the most vulnerable body part of all to the whips and scorns of time.

The worst thing about time, though, is it never stops running.

It takes a while to figure that out. Time is irrelevant to the young.

When you're young, you actually think you're going to live forever. Your supple 20-something body seems indestructible. You can party all night and work the next day, no worse for the wear. You can play at strenuous sports, or even make a living at it. You can expend constellations of energy in sexual pursuits, drawing from an endless reservoir of blood, sweat, tears and other precious bodily fluids. You can leap tall buildings in a single bound, bend steel in your bare hands. You're invincible, immortal ...

Somewhere around 40, you start suspecting that's not really the case.

Becoming middle-aged is like losing Santa Claus a second time. We're five years old again and finding out

the world isn't quite what our parents told us. There's no jolly old elf at the North Pole, just glacial ice and six months of darkness. Sensing your own mortality is a lot like that. It's more than just being disappointed -you feel cheated.

It's unbearable. Unimaginable. But it's true just the same: One day the world is going to get along just fine without you.

We have some interesting ways of denying it.

You start ignoring your own birthdays. You hesitate to reveal your exact age to people, not only because you're defensive about it, but because you actually can't remember for a moment, so thoroughly have you deluded yourself. (A few years down the road, you won't be able to remember even if you want to.)

People with disposable incomes try buying their way out. We get nipped and tucked, lifted and suctioned. We plug in new hair and pump ourselves with vitamins. We keep strapping on the skis and leaping for the game-winning spike until, like the Medic Alert lady, we've fallen and we can't get up.

Because time eventually catches up to everyone.

It has some interesting ways of letting us know, too. Aside from the subtle physical indicators, there are more ominous signs. Your friends start getting diabetes and having heart attacks. You start having heart attacks. Your parents die. Your spouse. Things that are impossible to ignore. _ •

You finally have to look time right in the face and deal with it.

And how we do that is most interesting of all.

Traditional religion is the most popular method. There's comfort in connecting to spiritual institutions that are thousands of years old. The priest or the rabbi, the mullah or the guru, surely, they can help us in our struggle with this relentless monster. They're wise and holy and on familiar terms with higher truths. They have the answer - and they've got it in writing. They're professionals.

And they do a good job, by and large, our religious professionals. They shepherd us through the Valley of Death with compassion and conviction. They actually have us believing we're going to heaven if we're good, or being endlessly reborn like Energizer bunnies run amok if our karma is bad.

But what if they're all wrong? What if our holy men don't know

any more about life and death than the rest of us? What if they don't have a clue to the mystery of time and the workings of the universe? What if they're all arguing brilliantly from a false premise and their cathedrals are all built on faulty foundations?

What if it's Santa Claus all over again, and we're being lulled to sleep by another comforting myth because we're not big enough to face reality?

I wonder about that some nights, lying in the dark and staring at the digital clock. And I remember something the great philosopher Satchel Paige.once said: "Don't look back -something might be gaining on you."

I think I know what he meant now.

Register and vote - this means you We students are forever being

told that we are apathetic, that we don't vote, and therefore can't have an affect on the issues of the day. Well, they're wrong! Students are also citizens. We are directly affected and concerned about the issues that are currently being debated: the environment, healtll care, crime, the economy. Not only are we concerned, but we're active, and in this coming election, politicians beware, because we intend to vote on our beliefs.

This past week registrars have been on campus, and a coalition of groups, including CoPIRG, Student

Government Assembly, Colorado Student Association, MEChA, Black Student Alliance, College Republicans, Democratic Socialists of America and other student leaders have been effective in registering at least 800 stuaents. We'd like to encourage those of you who haven't registered to do so before the Oct. 14 deadline.

Even though this is not a presidential election, important issues will be on the ballot, like the tobacco tax (Amendment 1), campaign finance reform (Amendment 15), and the Libertarian Party as well. Students on

this campus will be affected as much as anyone by the decisions made this November. We can make an impact on the issues that concern us and the best way to _do that is to register to vote. To quote the posters around campus this week, "Politicians think students don't vote. Let's SCARE 'EM!

Join the 23,000-Ft. Assault on Breast Cancer Expedition T-shirt sales to benefit Breast Cancer Fund

Most people climb mountains for the sheer challenge and exhilaration of it. But for 45 year old Laura Evans, a breast cancer survivor from Ketchum, Idaho, climbing represents her hard-won victory over the disease and provides a way to help other cancer victims.

Four years ago, Evans was in a hospital in isolation after a bone marrow transplant to fight a primary, stage-3 breast cancer. An active outdoor enthusiast, she discovered mountain climbing prior to her diagnosis and knew she would climb again. After her release from the hospital, Evans was so weak she could only walk four blocks without having to rest-. Each day she walked a little more. Within two weeks she was walking nine miles. In two years she ascended Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Nextjanuary, Evans, along with renowned climber Peter Whittaker, will co-lead F.xpedition Inspiration, a climb to the summit of Aconcagua in the Andes. At 23,085 feet, Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and is listed as

one of the world's seven continental summits. Accompanying Evans and Whittaker will be several breast cancer

survivors. "The whole idea, along with raising money for research, is to give people hope, " Evans said of the climb. "We want to get across the idea that hreast cancer is

-not a death sentence. It can be treated and you can go on to achieve great things."

The expedition's goal is to raise 52.3 million for breast cancer research and education. F.xpedition Inspiration is one of many fund raising efforts spearheaded by the Breast Cancer Fund, a public trust non-profit foundation

established in 1992. The goal of the organization is "helping to eradicate the disease through innovative and accelerated funding of cuttingedge projects in research, education, advocacy and patient support.

You don't have to be a mountaineer to support the

cause. The Auraria Book Center has teamed up with JanSport and this month is featuring a commemorative T-shirt and sweatshirt with proce eds going to the Aconcagua endeavor. "This year, 182,000 women and 1,000 men will discover that they have hrcast cancer,"

notes Mary Reichenberg, marketing coordinator for the Book Center. "It c-.in hit very close to home-your mother, aunt, professor, classmate. The Book Center, working with JanSport. is providing a chance for studehts to get a really nice shirt while contrih_uting to an important cause."

Expedition Inspiration Tshirts are now available for. 514, and sweatshirts for s30 at the Auraria Book Center in the Tivoli Stu1 lent Union.

Moves into Tivoli -Go Smoothly ...

Getting Up and Running's a Challenge

An informal survey of the occupants of the Tivoli Student Union on the first day of class revealed that getting settled int0 the renovated Tivoli was interesting at best

The Auraria Book <:enter was the first of the Tivoli's new merchants to open shop. On July 18, most of the books were shelved, merchandise was displayed throughout the store, the twoby-fours used to lock the temporary wooden doors were taken down and the employees were ready to assist students in buying textbooks. Then the rains came and cime and came. The lower level was flooded and the elevator shafts ·looked like wishing wells. After a long night of vacuuming up water, director Gretchen Minney was overheard sayiog, •·weti, the floors are dampened, but not our spirits. We are ready to serve our customers. But they better be wearing their galoshes."

Opening day at -the New York Deli was fairly hectic. All of the staff was cheerily greeting customers-lots .of customers! Staff was ready, food was ready, hut the computer? Oops, the computer forgot it. was opening day!

Activities at the Daily Grind did not grind to a halt just hecause its area was still · under construction. A push cart ser:ving coffees arid pastries was set up in tlie Atrium ready to jump-start the campus community with a much

needed dose of caffeine. Monica Younger, editor of

the Advocate, looked around the new space cluttered with boxes and sighed. "We have a great place to work, but right now _we're just tying to catch our breath. We are getting a paper out and trying to empty boxes too. It's business as usual, except nothing is usual right now."

Community News was up and running, but had no phones. Phone service finally caught up with the newspaper and Lisa Lang, editor and Mari Christie, production manager are waiting to hear from you, especially if you have advertisements.

What do you do if you look at the plug to your most important piece of equipment and notice that all three prongs face a difterent direction? Panic and call in the big guns. That's what Kate Lutrey, director of MSCD Student Publications did. "I was ready to plug in the stat camera and realized something wasn't right. I put in an emergency · call to Dean Wolfe (AHEC Vice President for Operations) and John Douglas (general contractor for the Tivoli renovation). They came over right away, took one look and plugged it into the outlet. What I failed to notice at first was that we have.: univcr::.at outlets in the Tivoli, which allow anything to he plugged in." After she found the on switch, Kate and Metro Publications were ready to roll.

What Happened to the Computer Department?

Remember the computer department in the old hookstore? It had lots of neat-stuff but very little ·room. Well, things have changed. In the Tivoli Student Union, the computer department takes over a whole store. It's called Campus Computers and has everything you need to enter the on-ramp of the information highway. Educational discounts are offered to individual students, faculty and staff with presentation of a current, validated Auraria campus ID, and departmental order invoices (DOis) are accepted from campus departments.

In addition to software and hardware from manufacturers like Aldus, Adobe, Borland, Lotus, Microsoft, WordPerfect, Apple, Hewlett Packard, Dell and Compaq, Campus Com-

puters offers a full line of reference hooks and related accessories. You will also find a large stock of calculators and other specialized items for mathematics, physics, engineering and foreign languages, as· well as small electronics.

Charles Emmons, buyer for the computer store, is en

thusiastic about the new location. "Our commitment to the campus community is to provide the best values in conte'mporary hardware and software. Completing a degree is a challenge. With our new location, we are ahle to offer a wider selection of the tools and materials that will make the challenge easier as well as more fun."

Book Center Feab•res JC111Spol'I Clof.hing, Packs

With more floor space in the new Tivoli location, the Book Center has expanded its soft goods department to feature JanSport clothing and outdoor gear. In addition to in signia T-shirts and sweatshirts, a complete line of backpacks, hook hags and soft-sided luggage are avail-able. '

janSport was founded twenty five years ago by Murray Pietz, a University of Washington engineering student, his girlfriendJan Lewis, and his cousin, Skip YowelJ. After Pietz won a cash award in an Alcoa contest for the best use of aluminum, the trio, all in their early 20s, decided to invest in a manufacturing venture. Legend has it that the company name was a deal between Murray and Jan. He would name the company after her if she promised to marry him.

The timing was perfect for lightweight aluminum frame hacks. Young people went hack to nature, got hooked on the great outdoors and swore by their free-wheeling backpacking lifestyle. While the competition was making

rigidly welded backpack frames, JanSport made frames with flexible joints to conform to the body and a hip belt to better distribute the weight. The milestore that Yowell and other kaders in the Northwest outdoor gear industry remember best is the dome tent. As Yowell explained, "We needed something that could withstand adverse weather conditions, he free standing and have more usable space inside. Our inspiration came from the igloo." The dome tent is now the most popular style among .outdoor enthusiasts. · Although the ownership of JanSport has changed hands several times in the past quarter-century, the original owners are very much a part of the company. ~wis is still a product designer, and Yowell continues to be involved in product testing and marketing. Pietz left a few years ago to produce maps for the U.S. Forest Service.

If there is an ideology that sets JanSport apart from other manufacturers, even in the sporting gooos industry, it's the company s love for the

outdoors. It's both personal and institutional-almost every employee is involved in some kind of outdoor activity. Environmental protection is a high priority. Wherever possible, JanSport uses recycled paper and soy-based ink to publish its catalogs and other marketing materials; employees use mugs instead of disposable cups and participate in a sophisticated recycling program. The company supports many environmental causes, such as wildlife clinics, wilderness preservation and nature trail maintenance.

JanSport has diversified extensively in recent years, making 66 different frame packs, day packs, duffel bags, fanny packs, travel packs and brief cases. Its products are licensed in 13 countries . Sandra Hughes, general merchandise buyer at the Auraria Book Center, is excited about the venture. "The Book Center is proud to be working with such a conscientious company. We look forward to providing the students on this campus quality sportswear and outdoor gear."

·Prof elaborates on intercultural drama. Catherine O'Neill The Metropolitan

An MSCD English professor has managed to find a bridge between British and Chilean culture. Perhaps it is a small world after all.

Eugene Saxe, professor of English literature at MSCD, specializes in B.ritish literature. He is on better terms with Will Shakespeare than some profess to be with Elvis. And he has recently returned from a sabbatical in London.

It is Saxe's love of British drama that set him theatre-hopping about London -an activity that eventually led to the connection between cultures. One night he attended a play called "Death and the Maiden," written by Ariel Dorfman.

"I had no idea what the play was. I was tired; I was ill," Saxe said. "I wouldn't have gone if I didn't already have tickets." And since the poster to promote the play featured a famous painting of Lady Jane Grey - an innocent victimized by the politics of the country, "I thought the play dealt with

British history," he added. But when tQe curtain opened, Saxe

saw the set wasn't British at all. In fact, he recognized the architecture from the time he lived in Chile during the 1960s.

Saxe spent years studying Spanish literature, and his dissertation was on Chilean drama. In his dissertation he focused on and translated three works of Jorge Diaz, a contemporary playwright. Diaz was part of the resurgence of the theatre movement in Chile in the '60s, and Saxe was in the thick of it. Chile became his adopted culture.

"I had anticipated spending my life there," said Saxe.

Watching "Death and the Maiden," a Chilean drama, in London was not only a link back in time for Saxe but also a link between cultures.

"It was a bridging of the two times in my life when I'd lived abroad and had rich, exciting experiences," he said. Beyond that, he said, the play "dealt with issues in contemporary Chilean history in much the same way Shakespeare dealt with 15th century British issues." An unusual coinci-

dence, according to Saxe, who has always believed Shakespeare's plays to be a form "peculiar to British drama." ·

Because of Saxe' s understanding of British literature and Chilean politics, the play offered many levels of interest for him. That's why he chose to speak on "Death and the Maiden" when invited by Dr. Akbarali Thobhani to participate in MSCD's lecture series, sponsored by the Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services.

As people entered St. Cajetan's for the lecture on Oct. 10, Shubert's 14th String Quartet in D minor was playing on the portable cassette player. Saxe explained it was also known as "Death and the Maiden" and was the music that played as the woman in the play was being tortured.

"Death and the Maiden" is a premise play that addresses many political agendas, Saxe said. In fact it was not as successful in Chile as it has been internationally. Saxe read an article in which Dorfman is quoted as saying that he believes Chile is a "macho

Reiss a Iiatural spot to see Colorado art Robyn Schwartz Features Editor

If you can't escape to the mountains this semester, perhaps a calming landscape is just the thing you need to ease the stress of school and work. There may be no more comfortable place in Denver to do this than at the

showing in her gallery. Several of the artists in the "Capturing Colorado" show got their start at Rhoda's gallery.

Bruce Gomez, 37, whose pastels of the Telluride area are scattered throughout the twostory house, says he got lucky when his insurance agent saw his

told Gomez to leave the pieces but she wanted them out of the gallery that Thursday. When Gomez returned to pick up the work, Rhoda had decided to show them herself.

Gomez studied art in Europe and had a show at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. He is a single

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley Colorado artist Van Allen Wylle poses beside his paintings at Reiss Gallery.

work and introduced him to Rhoda, who was also a client of the insurance agent.

"I brought a few pieces over and set 'em up. She (Rhoda) looked at them and said 'no,' ... 'no,' ... and 'no. Out of here.' But one of the sellers said he might know someone who might like something like that." Reiss

father of four and a Denver native.

"Harpo's Pond," one of the best works in his show, hangs in the office above the desk. It's named after Oprah Winfrey (Oprah spelled backward), who owns the small body of water. The pastel is a serene study that puts the viewer into the setting.

His " Dallas Pride" is a w.ide view of a mountain lit on fue by sunlight.

The most prominent works of the show, however, belong to Van Allen Wylie, 24, originally from Texas, who has chosen Denver as home. Wylie also described himself as lucky. Rhoda invited him to show at his gallery after seeing his work at Cherry Creek High School. His works are brightly impressionistic. They blend darker backgrounds with predominant splashes of purples or yellows. "Goldilocks" glows with light. The bright yellow jumps off the purple and green background.

Wylie also does portraits, although they are not on display at the gallery.

Although these local artists may call themselves "lucky," they all have exhibitions in other galleries and prestigious prizes under their belts.

Monta Vista native Tom Lockhart has settled on landscapes after experimenting with abstract, as well as other art fonns. Lockhart got his start in a self-promoted, one-man show in his father's furniture store. Lockhart had earned a Fine Arts degree from Emporia State University in Kansas and ran his father's business for 10 years before this happened. Lockhart's are the most realistic landscapes in the show.

" I'm not trying to push or pull colors beyond the norm. To me, there's enough information out there to want to learn what is there, and to be able to handle values of the colors and shapes ... is difficult enough."

Lockhart does most of his

painting from life. He uses phot6graphs only to do touch-ups. This results in a distinctive difference between his paintings and others in the show. One feels very much a part of his landscapes.

The National Arts for the Parks recently gave Lockhart the second place award for the region.

Morton Schneider's rustic watercolors have a true cowboy feel to them, as well as a sense of humor and depth. "Gone Fishing" shows a bear ambling into the woods with a fish he's just caught. His "Lunchtime" features the fish themselves as the main subjects. This fluid, complex watercolor looks almost intestinal and is difficult to look away from.

But landscapes are not the main fare of Rhoda 's cozy gallery. Follow the staircase up to the abstract creations. A trip to the bathroom introduced one of the best pieces in the gallery. It hangs over an old-fashioned clawed tub. The large acrylic on canvas called "Continental Divide" by Kevin Krasnoff is alive with windy and aquatic motion. The bathroom itself is a work of art.

Reiss Gallery is full of ceramics, modernist constructions and abstract arts. It's easy to walk in because the atmosphere is so casual. You don't have to be rich to walk out an art owner. Although the main pieces in the gallery fetch worthy fees, there are smaller, matted originals and prints starting at around $11.50. Take a drive or catch the No. 5 bus down to 429 Acoma St. for a relaxing hour of art.

"It reminded me and exposed me to the extraordinary cultural change that has occurred there" during the last several years of political upheaval in Chile, Saxe said.

One of the premises of the play dealc; .. with the archetype of the dangerous relationship between love and death, Saxe said. It also exposes the dreadful feelings that build up in a people who have been violated and oppressed, he said. Without the venting

' of that rage, he added, people have no way to deal with their suffering in the absence of some type of release - a release that historically occurs in the form of a barbaric bloodletting.

lntercultural Studies at MSCD sat behind a cluttered desk in a cramped office in the Women's Studies department on Ninth Street Park. His hands moved with each syllable for added emphasis as he spoke of his department's lecture series being held at St. Cajetan's.

"It was Larry Johnson, the former dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, who came up with the idea," he stressed. "I want to make sure he gets the credit for that."

MSCD's Lecture Series, sponsored by the Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services, was started at Johnson's suggestion two years ago. Its intent is to enrich students and faculty in their understanding of other cultures. It features LAS faculty who wish to share their experiences, research and activities with the rest of the

campus. Thobhani is obviously proud of the

lecture series. Proud enough to want to share the credit.

Thobhani alone is responsible for selecting the guest speakers. He chooses them by throwing out some names -''well, let's try this person." A haphazard · approach, but ''I don't have to look around too much," Thobhani said.

, Occasionally, a guest will receive a special invitation, as in the case of professor Eugene Saxe, who lectured on ''Death and the Maiden - A Modern History Play" on Oct. 10. But with only three lectures each semester, it doesn't take long to book speakers.

"We're already in the planning stage for next fall," Thobhani said. "Speakers are lined up for spring. We have to plan a year ahead."

--- -------- - ·-----· ___ ...

Speakers are allowed to present on any topic of their choosing.

"We.see culture as a very broad phenomenon," Thobhani said. "Any human activity comes under that broad definition of culture."

The attendance at St. Cajetan's for the lectures ranges anywhere from 25 to 100 people. Many of the attendees are classes of students brought by faculty.

The last lecture of the fall series will be from noon to 1 p.m, Nov. 14, when Robin Quizar of the English department presents her research on "Crossover into the Maya."

For more information on the Lecture Series, which is free and open to the public, contact Thobhani at 556-4004.

Theatre On Broadway presents John Guare's 'Six Degrees of Separation' with sophistication Robyn Schwartz Features Editor

The danger in seeing a play after having already seen the movie version is the tendency to resent differences between the two.

Funny thing is, the play "Six Degrees of Separation," now playing at the Theatre on Broadway, is so much like the movie, I wonder if the actors themselves saw the movie first as well.

"Six Degrees," a brilliant John Guare play about a young black man trying a new way to transcend the class gap, will run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 15 at 13 S. Broadway.

This tiny yet elegant theatre is in itself worth an excursion down ol ' Broadway. The set is intimate, well made and incorporates the use of scrims to add dimension to an otherwise limited scene. Scrims are screens onto which light can be projected, resulting in a blending effect with the stage walls. Light can also stream from behind these opaque windows to reveal a person behind it, if that is the desired result. Another plus not always seen in a small theatre is the gradually elevated seating provided, instead of fold-up chairs on one plane.

Deborah Persoff gives a performance beyond reproach, and yet one can ' t help thinking she may be playing Stockard Channing, who played Ouisa in the film version.

These are not amateur actors by a long shot. The cast carries the play smoothly and with perfect transit ions. Between scenes , they perform an inviting/threatening, non-contact Tango with one another. The production crew and Director Stephen Tangedal do a great job turning such a small set into a versatile backdrop for this eclectic New York setting. And you get the feeling the cast is a team, that they have worked together before and enjoy it.

If you haven't seen the movie or the play, I suggest you see the live show first. The movie is remarkably similar to it. The film is simply a physical elaboration of the play, with the benefit of a well-seasoned cast, millions of dollars more for production costs and the option to use scenes from the real Big Apple to add atmosphere and depth.

But if you enjoy the energy of live performances, pick up a ticket or two. Take a date to this show. You'll be guaranteed to sit in close proximity of both your object of affection and to the entire cast as well. No binoculars needed. And the plot will provide ample fuel for first-date ice-breaking afterward.

Keithwayne Brock Johnson plays the ingenious, endearing liar Paul, who works his way into the lives of Fifth Avenue well-to-do's. He so captures the imagination of Ouisa Kittredge, the wife of a private art dealer, that he changes her life. His performance is a bit stiff, but it could be an interpretation of Paul's part, since throughout the play Paul is posing as someone he's not.

Tickets are $12 for students, $14 for adults and you can receive a $2 discount for prepayment. For more information, call 777-3292. For reservations, call 860-9360.

Prof performs as a Leaping Beryllian DOE from page 13

very passionate poems: "Some of my poeins now are less

passionate, but they have more literary technique."

Doe went through radiation therapy and chemotherapy and lived to tell about it.

When the Leaping Beryllians were born, Doe was teaching voices and visions of modern poetry at night school.

"There were som e people in there that I really liked," Doe says.

"And I really didn't want to lose them and not know them anymore after the class. So we decided to get together a poetry workshop."

All eight members of the group are language professionals of some kind - mostly teachers and commercial writers. They meet once a month at each other's homes.

For her own professional life, Doe will fly later this month to New Jersey to attend a conference called Unsettling American, a festival of contemporary, multiethnic poetry . To do so, she was awarded a profes-

This JDay hurt - Nine Inch Nails at McNichols next week Jeff Stratton Editor

After making media waves across the country with their muddy Woodstock appearance in August, Nine Inch Nails are undertaking a tour of the United States, playing large arenas in support of their last LP The Downward Spiral. Opening for Trent Reznor and Co. will be Marilyn Manson, a frightfully macabre new outfit on Reznor's own nothing label, and the always-fun Jim Rose Circus Sideshow.

The Sideshow, sandwiched between Manson and NIN, is featuring regulars like Mr. Lifto, who'll be suspending heavy objects from his nipple (and other) rings, and some new performers as well. The Armenian Rubber Man, who leader Jim Rose insists "was not born like you or me," will squeeze his 6-foot frame through the head of a tennis racket. Mark 'The Knife' Faje will balance an lawn mower on his chin, while it's running, and the other members of the troupe throw heads of lettuce through it. A modern primitive version of the carnival freak show, this performance shouldn't be missed.

Reznor has watched his coldly calculated vision travel from indie-size success to the

cover of Rolling Stone magazine. After attracting a huge fan base with his almost-commercial debut, 1989's Pretty Hate Machine, Reznor has parlayed his designer nihilism into a hugely profitable empire of pain. Spewing venom in the direction of the record companies that gave him his start, while promoting himself effectively through a clever campaign of carefully crafted self-hate, NIN are at the top of the heap when it comes to angst-ridden entertainment for the masses.

The new NIN stage show, stopping at McNichols Oct. 20 is " over the top and intense," according to drummer Chris Vrenna. The band will have an elaborate light show and a visceral backdrop of films, but the energy of Reznor and crew will provide an excitement of its own.

"We go through a keyboard or two a night, and lots of guitars," says Vrenna. "I'm on my third drumset this year. Trent Likes to destroy those as well." The self-destruction of NIN's equipment parallels the s/m of Reznor's personality, and makes what could be an unflexible set of sampled electro-noise an unpredictable violent spectacle.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Call 290-TIXS for information. Nine Inch Nails play at a scaled-down McNlchols Arena next week.

The Bluebird re-Opens with film and muSic Donna Hickey Staff Writer

In its heyday it showed movies like "Sharpshooters" starring Dick Powell, "Viva Villa" with Wallace Beery and "Handy Andy" with Will Rogers.

In the '80s it was ca\Jght with its pants down, showing films like "Sweet Agony" and "The Life and Times of Xaviera Hollander."

Now the Bluebird Theatre has a new lineup.

The Bluebird Theatre, Denver's newly

remodeled venue for live national and local acts, is back to showing art films.

During movies, cocktailers serve mixed drinks or your choice of nine beers on tap.

Men's soccer woes continue as team drops three more Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan

A grueling schedule that has seen the MSCD soccer team play 10 of its first 14 games away from home continues to take its toll on the Roadrunners.

Last weekend, MSCD dropped three games in three days, losing 4-1 at Fort Lewis Friday, 2-0 at Southern Colorado Saturday, and 6-1 to West Texas State at USC Sunday.

With the losses, MSCD's record drops to 3-11-0 overall; 1-6-0 in the Colorado Athletic Conference .. While the Roadrunners have posted a respectable 2-2-0 record at home and a 1-1-0 record at neutral sites, they have struggled on the road, posting a 0-8-0 record.

In the weekend's games, MSCD was in every game at halftime, trailing 1-0 in two of the games and tied 0-0 in the other. However, the travel took its toll in the second half.

"We played well, we just couldn't finish," said Maher Kayali. "We just have

Saturday's game at USC offered MSCD its best chance to pick up a win, but yellow cards hurt the team. The Madrunners received three yellow cards, including two by Kevin Bunning, which

eluded goalkeeper Larry Sersante, giving USC a 2-0 lead they would hold onto.

USC outshot MSCD 12-7, while Sersante made seven saves in the loss.

In front of a homecoming crowd of 427 Friday night in Durango, Fort Lewis College scored four goals in the second half en route to a 4-1 win over MSCD.

After a scoreless first half, Randy Wenistein opened the scoring at the 46:13 mark for Fort Lewis on a goal assisted by Sven Krebs and Greg Jensen.

The Roadrunners tied the game at 1-1 at the 58:30 mark when Castillo continued his torrid pace with a goal on a free kick from ten yards out.

However, Fort Lewis scored three goals in the final 16 minutes to pick up the win. Aamon Ross scored at the 74:32 mark to put Fort Lewis up 2-1 , then Jensen gave Fort Lewis some insurance with a goal at the 82: 15 mark.

Jeff Swander rounded out the scoring at the 88:55 mark when he scored on a header off a pass from Damien Clarke, making the final score 4-1.

Fort Lewis peppered Sersante, as they registered 21 shots on goal, with Sersante · making 17 saves. The Roadrunners had 15 shots on goal, with the Fort Lewis goalkeeper making 14 saves.

The Roadrunners resume their season on Sunday, when they host Air Force at 1 p.m.

at tric ' e Move over, De ion· Sanders, Katie Horvat plays three Mark Cicero The Metropolitan

Chicago White Sox outfielder Bo Jackson, San Francisco 49er's comerback Deion Sanders and New York Knicks guard Charlie Ward all have one thing in common. They excelled in two sports in college.

MSCD senior Katie Horvat does them one better. She plays three sports.

"But I don't think I can compare myself to them," Horvat said.

The 5-foot-5-inch Denver native's physical presence cannot be compared to those three, but her accomplishments on the playing fields puts her in a higher class.

Horvat, 21, is a defensive specialist for the MSCD women's volleyball team, a shooting guard for the MSCD women's basketball team and a singles player for the MSCD women's tennis team.

"Sometimes I think it ' s intimidating to people that I play three sports," Horvat said. "For me, it's no big deal."

She said her biggest contribution to the teams is not her physical skills or ability to play but the motivation she brings her teammates.

"I'm a motivator. I keep the team together," she said. "When things go wrong or when times get tough, I try to keep everyone positive. I've always had that role. My leadership is my main strength."

Another skill she brings to the court is knowing her role as a player. She learned that she will not always be the key player in every situation but must accept that and continue to be a team player.

"I must be aware that there will always be people above me who are better athletes," she said. "I just need to know my role on the team. If that means sitting the bench or getting in only during the last 30 seconds of the game, I must be a team player overall."

MSCD women's volleyball team head coach Rhonda Williams said she loves having players on the team like Horvat because she is always physically fit and a hard worker.

"I have been fortunate to have her all four years," Williams said. "I expect her to always provide solid leadership during the year."

Horvat is an exceptional student as well. While majoring in psychology, she has earned Colorado Athletic Conference All-Academic honors the past two seasons in volleyball.

''Time management is the main key," Horvat said. "I know that volleyball and basketball are priorities, but school is just as big a priority in my life."

Scheduled to graduate in the spring of 1995, she said the classwork sometimes bogs her down but she gets the studying done when she is on the road or whenever she has some free time.

The Metropolitan/Andy Cross Katie Horvat juggles three sports: spiking, serving and shooting for the top. As a multi-sport athlete, she still finds time to win CAC All-Academic honors annually.

"Sometimes I get real frustrated, but I just deal with it," she added. "I think it happens to every student, no matter what you ' re doing. Whether it is working or sports, it ' s a matter of being able to control all aspects of your life."

Whenever Horvat gets bogged down, she looks to her family for motivation. Living with four sisters and a brother, she said it's hard to support everyone, but they always find the time.

"My sisters were all real active in sports," she said. "They've always been around to help and support me. They've been real good influences.

"They don't come out as often as I think they would like to because we have a big family, and they are always busy with work and other things."

Despite the major support she receives from other family members, one

of the biggest driving forces in her life has been her father.

Ed Horvat died two years ago from congestive heart failure. Whenever she gets down or times get tough, she still looks to her father for support.

"He was definitely a major role model," Horvat said. "'Give it your best,' he would always say. If anything was going wrong, he told me to just keep the faith."

Ed Horvat was never the type of father who pushed his daughter to succeed, Horvat said. He let her make her own choices. As long as she gave her best, he was happy, she said.

"Some parcr<iits yell or get upset in the stands," she said. "He was never like that. As long as I was happy and just gave my best, he was never the type to get mad."

Horvat did not learn just sports from

her father. She said the biggest lessons A

she learned from her father were self-discipline and respect for other people.

"He was a disciplinarian, not in sports so much, but in general," she said. "He taught me that the things I learn on the court can be taken off the court as well. He taught me to believe in myself and that I can do anything I want to do."

She said playing sports and the support of her family has really enhanced her life, not so much physically, but through discipline and sacrifice.

"When my father died two years ago, I think because of the sports and the support of my family, it has helped me to overcome a lot of grief and relieve a lot of things, too," she said.

Horvat said the biggest things she has learned is self-discipline and respect for all other people. She said no matter what level of athlete the person is, she must respect everyone who is trying.

"I just need to know my role on the court,'' Horvat said. "I must be aware that there are people who are better or worse than me, and just being able to get along with everybody is the key, no matter what level they are."

Horvat has had to make many sacrifices, as well, to succeed in three sports. She realizes she must give up certain aspects of her social life to be able to compete.

"I think it's not a sacrifice if it's for a good reason," she said. "For example, I have to sacrifice not being able to go out on Friday nights because I have a game the next day. Being able to sacrifice things is important if it is for things I really care about."

Despite all the support from family and teammates and the physical gifts she has been blessed with, she said the biggest factor enabling her to be able to compete at three different sports is simply the opportunities to play.

"I use sports as an outlet,'' Horvat said. "There are a lot of people who would love to compete at the college level, but they just don't have the opportunities. I've used my opportunities well.

"Playing sports is not for everyone," she added. "Not everyone can play sports in college or have the opportunity to do it in three different aspects. It's been a wonderful and really good chance. I just couldn't pass it up."

Katie Horvat is the complete college package. She plays three different sports and excels in every venue. She is not just an athlete, though. She also is an exceptional student. It is hard for any college student to survive the tremendous classwork, but Horvat has found the winning solution, being able to balance work and play.

"If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing," she said. "I like it just the way it is. lf anything, I would like to learn more the next time."
