6. Chicano Studies professor an acclaimed mystery writer
"After years of scraping by, I suddenly found myself to be an involved, culturally aware person - Mr. Cool and Clean - a man on the brink of business success, at least in terms of paying my bills. If it hadn't been for Felix Guerrero, I might have plodded quietly through my American dream."
And so begins "The Ballad of Gato Guerrero," the second novel in the Luis Montez mystery series by Manuel Ramos, an attorney and part-time professor in Metro's Chicano Studies Department. The book was recently re-released in a revised edition by Northwestern University Press with a new foreword that comments on its contribution to Latino literature and the suspense novel genre.

Sports
marketing class teams up with Colorado Rockies "The project is a great opportunity for us to get real-life experience in sports promotion," said Metro student Willy Davis. The Rockies have provided the class with $30 tickets at a discount. Students will sell the tickets for $15, with a goal of selling at least 250 tickets. One of the students' sales strategies is a fundraiser for Metro student groups; various student groups are helping sell tickets and will get to keep $3 from every ticket sold. The class is also holding an "Auraria Idol" contest as part of the weekly band series on April 8 at 11 a.m. in the Tivoli. The winner will sing "America the Beautiful" before the May 1 Rockies game. Professor Clay Daughtrey initiated the student project with the Rockies after a similar successful marketing partnership with the Colorado Rapids last year. Tickets are
on sale at the Student Activities Office and from Daughtrey in the
Marketing Department, CN Room 305, 303-556-2114. The class will
also have a ticket booth at the upcoming Spring Fling. For more
information, contact Tenci Thompson at 720-422-5353 or Willy Davis
at 720-299-5566.
