Advisers to • 1IDprove techniques By April Lemons Tbe Metropolitan

For the first time this semester, the Student Advisory Committee of the School of Arts, Letters and Sciences met to address the advising problems students encounter. In their meeting Nov.3, Dean Joan Foster and Interim Associate Dean James Cronoble listened to concerns and suggestions students had about advising.

Advising encompasses everything from what classes to take, when to take them and graduation requirements, to what career opportunities exist. One of the problems students talked about was the lack of coordination between advisors.

Cronoble said that failure to coordinate between professors is especially a problem in big departments, like Math or English that have many students.

'The person being advised needs to know what questions to ask to be advised better," said Student Representative for the Art Depanment Daniel Kelly.

On the other side of things, the Student Advisory Committee also used the meeting to discuss what could be done to improve advising. Kirk Hagaman, student representative for the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences department, said the committee talked about the possibility of senior students being involved with advising freshman. He said that seniors have already been through the process and are in a position to share their experience with students who are just starting out. Hagaman and Kelly both believe that sometimes getting advice from a fellow student can be more beneficial than from a school adviser. Getting a second opinion from school advisors was also an idea.

"Patients get second opinions when they see doctors; why don't freshmen get a second opinion when it comes to how they'll spend the next four years?" Kelly asked. Student representative for the Modem Languages department, Sherri Ruby said departments need to share advising strategies.

The Student Advisory Committee for the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences is made up of students who were nominated by their department to represent it on the committee.

"Students can make a difference ... even before the semester is over, the students will see some of their suggestions implemented," Cronoble said.

Cronoble also said that advising is considered extremely important and it's improvement is a major goals this year. Foster echoed Cronoble's statements saying that she believes aclvi<iing can always be improved and that advising helps students finish their degrees.

Free lessons offered to Vail volunteers By Yocflt Gidey The Metropolitan

Vail Resorts and Metro Human Services professor, Shawn Worthy, have collaborated in a clinical study that brings anxiety, skiing, and women together.

"We're looking at how we can best reduce the anxiety in women," in activities like skiing and rock-climbing, Worthy said Training for the study is free and will be held Dec. 4 and 5 isl Vail.

Last year, the study of men and women's different strategies in training for rock-climbing Jed to the ski experiment.

Worthy said that the men used more internal support, such as imagery and breathing. The women focused on

external support, such as surroundings and people cheering them on.

Summer program retains Metro freshmen By Lari Vaughn Tbe Metropolitan

Building bridges has nothing to do with hard hats or construction sites; rather it is a term coined for constructing bonds to ease the transition between high school and college.

Designed to bridge the gap for incoming freshmen, the 1999 Summer lJridge Program had 83 participants from 27 high schools throughout metro Denver. Some enrolled at Metro this fall, according to Program Coordinator DonelynJames.

.. . ·-

The Summer Bridge Program admits high school graduates to take two college classes during the summer semester and receive a scholarship that covers cost for tuition, fees and books.

'The goal is to give students a head start. By sacrificing in the summer and putting education first, they will receive six college credits that will help them achieve their graduation requirements," James said.

To participate in the program students must be admitted, and plan to enroll in classes at Metro. Other qualifying factors include

U.S. citizenship; Colorado residence; first-time freshman status, and completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

"I know how scary it can be to go someplace new where you don't know anyone," said sophomore peer advocate Alycia Rivers. "With a school of 17,000 students, you come in here and you don't know a single person. It is reassuring that you at least know a small portion of students."

Psychiatrist battles Campus parking anti-social disorder usage decreases The Metropolitan

Author and psychiatrist Donald Black spoke about what he called "the biggest threat to society."

Black, author of Bad Boys, Bad Men, spoke at the TIVOii Turnhalle Nov. 10.

Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Black said, "causes more problems to society than any other di.5order." He said it starts as young as five years old and continues into adulthood. One of the most chilling symptoms of the disorder is a lack of remorse. An anti-social, he said, is someone who, "hates without reason, and kills without remorse."

This, he said, is the problem that many serial killers have. He aJSo said that there is a possibility that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold· had the disorder when they killed 13 people and themselves at Columbine High School on April 20.

He said that more than 80 percent of the prison population has symptoms of Anti-Social Personality Di.5order. The disorder, he added, is primarily found in lower-income families. There is also a genetic component to the disorder. In twin studies, if one identical twin develop.5 Anti-Social Personality Disorder; then

odd.5 are the other will develop it as well.

Black also said that the disorder is primarily a male problem, with a nearly three to one ratio of men to women being anti-social. Almost 2.5 percent of the U.S. population has the. disorder, Black said.

''There is l)O known effective treatment," Black said. "When I get an anti-social in my ward, I try to get them out as quickly as possible."

He did say, however, that while the disorder itself could not be treated, its symptoms could be. He also said that

. since the disorder was under­researched, there was still the possibility of a cure.

One of the biggest things that Black wants done to combat the disorder, is the early imprisonment of young offenders. The example that he gave was 13-year-0ld Nathaniel Abraham in Michigan who had killed another child when he was 11, and was tried as an adult for murder.

He said that he supported prison for young offenders. While he said that the stance would make him unpopular, he considered it necessary.

"Scared straight programs do not work," he said. These programs bring students into jails and let them talk to the prisoners in an effort to promote fear."

Analyze this

By Sean Weaver and Eric Pettit 7be Metropolitan

Good parking spaces are easy to find this year.

The number of students using Auraria's parking lots decreased from last year, according to Parking and Transportation Services documents.

"We've had plenty of space all year long," said Mark Gallagher, director for Auraria's parking services . "We've chalked it up to a number of things."

Gallagher said the increased use of online classes and the emphasis on Tuesday/fhursday classes, as well as competition with off­campus lots, might be factors explaining the lower use of on­campus parking. Other students, such as Metro sophomore Jose Herrera, are using public transportation more.

"We have to pay to ride the bus through fees, so why not take the bus instead?" he said. Holly Jeannelle, a Metro junior, said she takes the light

rail to campus on a regular basis.

"I don't want to pay more to park on campus," she said.

Gallagher said 23 percent of the money generated from parking goes to pay for bonds on the parking garage and additional land purchased by Auraria. The decrease in parking usage will not affect the campus' ability to make the $1.9 million annual bond payment. Last October, parking fees generated $502,943. This October, because of a July 1 rate increase in all campus lots, parking fees generated $709,189.

Curt Wiedeman, Auraria's divisional director of business services, said Auraria is under contract with the bondholders to generate more net income than the bond payment. Wiedeman said he sees no problem in meeting the debt unless enrollment decreases in the future.

''Let's say the enrollments drop 50 percent," he said. "We would be coveted to raise parking fees to cover the difference."

Policebrieft Camero stolen from lot

A University of Colorado at Denver student had his car stolen from a campus parking lot.

The student reported to police that on Nov. 11 he parked his car in the Tivoli Parking Lot at approximately 9:20 a.m. He said he attended his classes and then returned to where he parked, at 3:30 p.m., to find his car missing.

The student told police that he was the owner of the automobile and that there were no monetary liens against it. The student estimated the value of his silver 1982 Chevy Camero at $5,500.

Summit ash vandalized An Auraria Higher Education Center

employee reported a case of criminal mischief to police.

On Nov. 8, the employee noticed that the trunk had been broken off a summit ash tree located near the light rail station at 10th Street and Colfax Avenue. Upon inspection, police noted that approximately 8 feet of the tree had been broken off 4 feet above ground level. They said there were no marks on the tree to suggest the use of tools and that they have no suspects or leads at this time.

Pack, cell phone stolen Two people who left their valuables

unattended on campus Nov. 8 told police they returned to find them stolen.

A Metro employee told police he was eating his lunch at the food court in the Tivoli. He said he briefly got up from the table where he was eating to refill his drink. When he returned he noticed that someone had made off with his cell phone. He said the black Sony cell phone was worth $200.

On the same day, a Community College of Denver student told police that someone had stolen his fannypack. The student said he went into the first level men's bathroom in the South Classroom Building and placed his pack on a shelf near the entry area. He said he entered a stall for five minutes. Upon exiting the stall he discovered that someone had made off with his pack. The Cannondale fannypack contained his checkbook, several rolls of ftlm, a tobacco pipe, and a paperback copy of Utopia by Thomas More, worth a total of $63. ·

Police arrest motorist Auraria Police stopped a man for a traffic

violation and after finding out there was a warrant for his arrest. They turned him over to the Denver Police Department.

On Nov. 10, at 10:30 p.m., police stopped the man at the roundabout on ·Ninth and Walnut streets. Police said the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol. When they processed his identification, they noticed that he was wanted in Denver County for failing to appear in court on a theft charge. Police arrested the man and delivered him to the Denver Jail.

Endowment for childcare proposed

0 NEWS: A University of Colorado at Denver student proposed a campus-wide fee increase to benefit the Auraria Child Care Centet

0 VIEWS: It's a good plan and should be included on the spring ballot.

CU-Denver graduate student Guy Patterson wants more money for the Auraria Child Care Center.

Patterson worked with Child Care Center Executive Director Gina Hamlin and CU Foundation Vice President Betsy Cheroutes on his proposal. Patterson's plan is to have students from all three schools would pay a $10 fee at the start of the fall 2000 semester, and spring and summer 2001 semesters. Students would pay a total of $30 only once during their time at school .

The CU Foundation would invest the collected money, about $750,000, according to Patterson. The interest earned from the $750,000 would go to the Child Care Center. Patterson's conservative estimate of the annual earnings from the invested money. is

$30,000. The Child Care Center can use the money

for improvements but not for employee salaries or benefits. Students already pay for those salaries with existing fees.

Some of the items needed at the center include shade trees, better· playground equipment1 computers and educational materials. The endowed fund would provide several thousand dollars a year for these needed improvements.

The Child Care Center has programming money, but more money will help buy more educational items for the children, make improvements to the building and maybe even increase enrollment.

Often, prospective students look to the Child Care Center as the deciding factor for coming here. Patterson said: "Students don't care if there's a Domino's in the food court. They care about whether they can have their children taken care of."

He's right. Childcare is necessary, especially for a nontraditional, commuter campus.

If the money is spent wisely, let's pay the $30 and improve the center with the capital. Studies show that children who receive quality childcare have a better chance to

graduate from high school. Well cared for children earn more money and have better social skills. They do better on IQ tests. They are more motivated and committed to school.

Parents benefit too. Graduation rates for students who use on-campus childcare are higher, according to a Syracuse University -N.Y., study. Students who use on-campus childcare have better G~As and graduate sooner.

Patterson proposed the investment and spending plan to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board on Nov. 15. SACAB's decision will be made before the fall semester ends.

If SACAB puts the proposal on the ballot, students will vote on it this spring. If students vote for the fee increase, an oversight committee would be established to decide how to spend the interest money from the investment.

The committee would be made up of a student from each school, the executive director of the Auraria Child Care Center and a member of the Auraria Board of Directors. Seventy-five percent of the committee must be present in order to vote on spending.

Patterson's proposal is unique and will benefit students and children on campus.

Holiday family relationships can be friendly

Hektor Munoz Mi Mundo

I see him every Christmas Day. He always shows up with his wife Maria Luisa and his girls. He is my uncle Luis Alonso Munoz, my father's only brother - and his nemesis.

When my grandmother was alive, she constantly pitted them against each other.

Argue! Argue! Argue! They argue about anything and everything. They argue about Reagan, Pedro Infante, Chelo Silva, and Las Vegas. They argue about the artistic intricacies of Luis Bunel's aesthetics in relation to Jodorooky's surrealist work.

When my grandmother died they fought about that too, just to make it seem like everything was fine and dandy.

_ It wasn't until lately that I realized that my uncle and my father love each other. They communicate through argument. I watch my father, blinded with glaucoma, step softly and carefully, my uncle guiding him. He takes my father on trips to Las Vegas, and to restaurants, waiting on him hand and foot. The love

between them is always present. I had never seen that side of my uncle or

my father. I had never seen them so close, so united, so in dire need of each other.

Are they afraid of death? Do they think that it is a matter of time? Is the realization that they are the only ones left from a family that my grandmother so lovingly overp(otected? My uncle's eyes still water when we talk of

grandma. I see my uncle more often now. We talk

about our relatives, our lives. Finally, I tell him everything - Raw, one man to another. I actually discuss my esoteric artistic concepts as I listen to his stories. I sit there amazed that

after all my rebellion, my anarchist mohawk youth, engulfed in William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, and Pancho Villa, I now actually enjoy hanging out with the great intellectual role model in my life, my uncle. .

The holidays are here. I am actually looking forward to spending time with my uncle, my aunt and my cousins. I want to make up for all the time I did not spent with them. I

"the silent disease" Diabetic students find support on campus

Tbe MetrofxJliJan His disease is known as the silent killer, and there is no

cure. Chris Todd, 29, a behavioral science major at Metro, has diabetes.

Todd was diagnosed at age 20, but it took him five years to come to tenns with his diabetes.

"I was ift denial. I never talked about it. I didn't want to trouble people. I never let anyone see me give myself shots. I didn't check my blood sugar levels. I didn't watch my diet," he said.

Now he leads a support group for diabetics at Auraria. "I don't know what turned it around, but I woke up and·

realized thi.5 is something I need to take care of. This i.5 my responsibility," he said.

Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that i.5 needed to convert sugar, starch and other food, into energy needed for daily life.

"It is fitting the last thing he saw was the stars," said Lorre Hoffman, a University of Colorado at Denver art instructor who taught with Fudge. "He uses stars quite a bit in his paintings."

The current exhi>ition Using lbur Rieu/ties at the Emmanuel Gallery on Auraria Campus features a small retrospective of Fudge's paintings from the 1960s to the present along with work from ten CU· Denver art instructors.

"His style stayed the same for the next 35 years," Jane said ''A lot of it was inspired by music. He was an opera buff ... a fan of rock and roll. The

The main floor of the exhibition showcases work from 10 full-time CU-Denver professors. The two- and three-dimensional work ranges from abstract to realism: Moyo Okediji's painting Q W.L (Oklahoma wtleo, Iittleton) is a stark batik-like oil painting reminiscent of cave paintings combined with pre-Columbian and African imagery.

TAE-BO or not TAE-BO

Metro prok.ssor Martial artis-t Ques-tiof\ ~i-ts o~ exercise cra-z.e. ) .

Marc Rabinoff wants to set the record straight about Tae-Bo.

He wants people to see it for what it really is - dangerous.

"It's garbage. Not [just] anybody can do it," said Dr. Marc Rabinoff, professbr of Human Performance, Sports and Leisure studies at Metro.

For the uninitiated, Tae-Bo is the popular exercise program created by seven-time martial arts champion Billy Blanks. It is a high intensity workout that combines kickboxing and aerobics. It is the exercise craze touted by celebrities and it is sweeping the country.

Tae-Bo is a combination of three movement activities: martial arts, aerobics and dance.

"All three involve a learning curve," Rabinoff said. "If you look at what he [Blanks] did, and you look at his video, he's asking the average person to do way more than they can. "

The video features back lit bodies drenched in sweat and moving in perfect synchronicity to a happening techno beat while getting a "great" workout Blanks has sold more than a million copies worldwkle of the four-tape series that promises that anyone can do it.

Rabinoff, who has 30 years of experience analyzing the fitness industry, has been trying to set the record straight about this latest fitness craze.

"Learning martial arts movements takes years and years of time. If you do the movement wrong, then you stres.5 the body's joints the wrong way. If you do it wrong enough times, the joint will give. Once the joint gives, you're in serious pain."

La.st spring, Rabinoff, along with one of his classes, conducted an evaluation for Good Morning America about exercise programs. They found out that Tae-Bo wasn't as easy as marketers claim it is.

"We nailed Tae-Bo, because when we did the tapes they were very, very difficult to do," Rabinoff said. Because many of the moves are very sharp and quidc. and involve ballistic movement, the risk of injury is greater.

In addition to the moves being very demanding, Rabinoff and his class also concluded that the tapes did not adequately caution participants of the dangers of the exercise. In fact, Rabinoff said that the

The ~ible side effects of Tae-Bo appear in levels, Rabinoff said.

The first level consists of aches and pains of the joints. Then it becomes more serious.

The next level is exertional rhabdomyolysis, , a breakdown of the muscle transport system that causes an increase in potassium. ''That's when your body is depleted of nutrients and fluids due to exercise and dehydration."

The next level is serious joint injuries.

Rabinoff said the severity of these side effects varies.

workout was so "Billy Blanks just kind of throws you in and demanding that the average says, 'Whoa, whoa, ya, ya, and go for it.' You person who is not an avid can't do that. Not at the beginning level. And exerciser would not get that's why a lot of martial arts folks are really through the workout at all. upset"

Although Rabinoff said Rabinoff is not alone in his critique of Tae-that Tae-Bo is not a good Bo. workout for beginners, he Bradley Ryan, a martial arts instructor with did say that it is not a Young Olympians Karate in Denver, said bad workout for although Tae-Bo might offer a good workout, it someone who is more is the program's false sense of security that he experienced. ~--------------., has a problem with.

aerobics in ~air," Ryan said. "You're not hitting anybody."

And it is this reason, Ryan said, that makes the program so dangerous.

"They're basically practicing swimming technique on dry land," Ryan said. "How do you know if it's going to work?"

Although people like Rabinoff and Ryan have been speaking out again.st Tae-Bo, they are still part of the minority.

Kathy Plummer, a certified ma.5.5age therapist in Denver, said she owns all of the Tae-Bo tapes ahd has never had a problem.

"I felt like I was getting a really good -workout and it wasn't that dilfkult," Plummer said. "But I was paying attention to how he [Blanks! said to doit."

And the tape does caution participants to take it slow. But Rabinoff said the warnings are inadequate.

Although there is criticism about Tae-Bo, the company is keeping quiet.

A Tae-Bo marketer, who only identified himself as Chris, said that the company didn't have any infonnation to give out regarding the safety of Tae-Bo.

He added, however, that people should check with their physician before starting the program.

It isn't just Tae-Bo's physical demands that bother Rabinoff.

''There were claims he [Blanks] made that Tae-Bo will help you find the truth of life... he says [that] on his infomercial," Rabinoff said. "What truth of life? It's aerobics. It's not metaphysics.

"All you do is exercise. Will you feel good? Great. Wtll that help your spirit? And your soul? I don't know how you're going to prove that.

"No exercise program will help you get closer to God."

· -Aurdria student implements diabetes

support group • DIABETES, from p.10 usually occurs after age 40 and can often be managed through weight loss, nutrition and exercise. ·

Todd, who is Type I, says he is now totally open about being diabetic. "It's not a big deal, but it has its h?S-5les," he said, pulling a small blue kit out of his school bag. The kit, which he keeps with him at all times, contains insulin, syringes, needles, a pen to prick his. finger, lancets to draw the blood and a meter to test it.

'There isn't a day that I don't think about the complications and wonder if that's something that's going to happen to me," he said.

Even though the American Diabetes As.5ociation says that 5.9 percent of the population has diabetes, Todd finds he doesn't know many people who are diabetic. He said that it is hard to explain to people who don't have it. "When your sugar is too high you feel tired. When it's too low you're ddusional. You're constantly up and down," he said.

Todd's desire to learn more about this complex disea.5e and to relate with other diabetics prompted him to look for a support group. "It's easier to talk to someone who has it that I don't know well than to talk to someone I'm very cl~ to," he said.

The only group he could find was in Boulder, so last spring he approached the Student Health Center about starting_ a group on the Auraria campus. Th~ Diabetic Support Group, led by Todd, has been meeting every other Wednesday this fall. ·

Todd makes it clear that he is not a physician or a nutritionist. The meeting is for support. It's a place where people can share, vent or just listen, he said.

•

. Those attending would concur. "Diabetes is a scary thing; you're searching, reaching for anything for better health," said Sharonjassmann. She attended the group while working as a temp for campus administration. "With other diabetics everyone knows where you're coming from," she added.

"Diabetes is the pits," said Valerie Bordas, who is on theAuraria library staff. "I've found support here with other people who are going through the same thing."

The group also draws people with family and friends who are diabetic. Margaret Smith of the Senior Enrichment Program has a diabetic sister. "I tdl you, I've learned so much in these meetings. There is so much information," she said.

Billi Mavromatis, an Auraria health educator, said she's had to do some major learning about diabetes. Her husband of three years is diabetic and she said it's important to know what to do when someone is having a reaction and needs help. Mavromatis, who works at the Student Health Center, said the way Todd came forward to start the group is uniql!e. She praised his follow through, and said he is totally responsible for the implementation and growth of the group.

In a newsletcer he creates for .each meeting, Todd pulls together diabetes related infonnation, including recipes, from various publications and the American Diabetes Association. He also brings snacks made from the reeipes.

The last meeting of the support group for the fall semester is ~nesday, Dec. 1from11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 1020 Ninth Street R:lrk. For more information, call (303)-556-2525.

The Players: Allen will be the one of the main scoring

threats for the team in the upcoming season. Allen is the school's all-time leader in three pointers made (170) and the all-time leading scorer (1,313) which she accomplished last season. There are more records Allen could break this season too.

Allen led the team in scoring last season, with a 14.4 average and made 65 three-pointers. She was named to the All-RMAC Ea.st Division first team for the second consecutive year.

that will test the young team. They start off the season at two tournaments, Northwest Missouri State and North Dakota State. In the Northwest Missouri tournament, Nov. 19-20, Metro will face Baker and host Northwest Missouri State. Power said Baker could give the Roadrunners problems.

"Baker is a NAlA school, not a strong NAlA school, but here is the main thing that they have over us; they will have played six games already," Power said. "That is a huge advantage for them. If we were coming into the game with six games under our belts, we would be favored to win the game."

The next weekend, Metro travels to play in

the North Dakota State tournament, where the Roadrunners will face host, North Dakota State, which is ranked third in the nation.

Metro comes back to Colorado, but is still on the road, this time to Greeley. They will play the University of Northern Colorado on Dec. 3. The first home game of the season for the Roadrunners will be Dec. 10, to open the RMAC portion of the schedule, against Nebraska­Kearney. Metro will have home games against Fort Hays and Colorado Christian before going into the winter break, where they will be in Phoenix in the Grand Canyon Classic.

After the Classic, the Roadrunners will be on the road for four straight games before coming back to the Auraria Events Center for home games against New Mexico Highlands and Adams State. Metro will finish the season with three of its four final games at home, against Regis, Chadfon State and Colorado School of Mines.

Men start season with eyes wide open· Weekly By Trent Brolherton 7be Metropolitan

On the wall of men's basketball coach Mi~e Dunlap's office is a black and white picture he calls "Eyes of Intent."

The picture, he claims is the reason for his recent success and the reason why he chooses to do what he does.

Some of Dunlap's accomplishments include:

• coaching the most successful college basketball team, men or women, in Colorado state history, .

• his team won back-to-back Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference East Division Championships,

• his team posted 25-plus win seasons in both years, including tying a school record for most wins in a season last year with 28,

• and his team has finished in the top 20 (16th last year, 18th ·in '97-'98 season) in the nation.

All of this was done in only his first two years.

Be at the Auraria Events Center at 7 p.m. Nov. 22 and watch what could be the best coached basketball team ever to play in Colorado - the Metro men's basketball team.

Dunlap, in his first two seasons as the basketball coach for the Roadrunners, has produced a 53· ll (.828) record.

The Roadrunners started the season 1-2 in the Disney Tip-Off Classic, which features some of the best teams in the nation. The rocky start hasn't taken the team's focus off clinching the school's first ever national championship.

Which leads back to the picture on the wall in his office. The picture is of his team coming out of a huddle at the national championship game last year where Metro lost 75~ to top ranked Kentucky Wesleyan.

"You can see the drive and intensity in all of their eyes," Dunlap said. ''There's so much focus on what's going on at that point in time. That's what makes us so good."

In the past, the men's basketball team lacked focus and intensity, and there was talk of off-the<ourt problems, including drug and alcohol use, but not under Dunlap.

Dunlap wants the team to develop life skills that will make them successful after basketball.

"By using basketball as a means to an end, our players will be better in aca~emics, social

Men's basketball coach Mike Dunlap deemed this photo the "Eyes of Intent." It hangs on his office wall. The photo of last year's starters was taken at the NCAA Division II Championship game March 20.

development and hopefully spiritual development," Dunlap said.

Dunlap swears by the early bird gets the worm theory.

The team practices Monday through Friday at 5 a.m., and at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, which Dunlap believes recreates a real work experience for his players.

By practicing early in the morning, the players learn responsibility not only on the court but in real life too, Dunlap said.

An early practice time is not the only reason why Metro is ranked No. 1.

The team is returning all five of its starters, and a roster that includes five seniors and nine lettermen. Three of them are predicted preseason All-Americans.

The three are senior guard DeMarcos Anzures, senior power forward Lee Barlow and 6-foot-10 senior center Jason Johnson. Johnson sat out last year after transferring from University of South Dakota, where he earned first team North Central Conference honors in 1997-98 season.

"Johnson gives us an element a lot of teams don't have because of his size," Dunlap said. "His greatest asset is he can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the hole."

Anzures comes to his senior year only 399 points away from being Metro's all time leading scorer, but feels that his role will change this year.

"With the addition of J.J.Oohnson) and

the increasing confidence of Lee (Barlow) and John(Bynum) I won't have to score as much," Anzures said. "We should be much more balanced."

Anzures said that he thought there was a lot of pressure on him and his teammates to be successful.

"But if we keep practicing hard and take one game at a time, the pressure will take care of itself," Anzures said.

Barlow was second.on the team in scoring last year, ·averaging 14.l points. However, he dominated the Elite Eight Tournament, averaging 26 points in three games, including a Ca.reer-high 33 point blow-up in a Metro win over No. 3-ranked Salem Teikyo in the round of eight.

Anzures and Barlow were both named to the Elite Eight All-Tournament team.

Intensity and veteran leadership will carry the team to new heights this year, said junior forward Rashawn Fulcher, who started the last 11gamesin1998-99 season.

"We'll be playing some good teams this year," Fulcher said, "but that won't rattle us, because we have played against the best and we know what it takes. We have to keep our great work ethic, keep our heads up, adjust to adversity and keep our good attitudes and we'll do just fine."

If the Roadrunners keep the "Eyes of Intent," they just might be laying their eyes on a championship trophy.
