Netzel .resigns MSC to WOrk . with Trustees .

by Sal Ruibal

Former MSC acting president Richard Netzel. I

••

•

The former acting president of Metropolitan State College resigned last week from his pqsition as Vice-Presicfent for Academic Affairs. Dr. Richard Netzel, who served as Acting President from August 1978 to June 1979, said his resignation would have "a positive effect" on MSC. "It will give President Macintyre the opportunity to begin fresh with a new line organization ... new faces without the biases and historical baggage a continuing vice-president would have,'' Net.:. zel said. l'{etzel's resignation will be effective Oct. 1. After that time he will ''be on loan'' to the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado. MSC and three other state colleges are members of the Consortium. Netzel's tenure as Acting President was mar_ked by a growing movement towards merger with the University of Colorado-Denver, a move Netzel vehemently opposed. Net'Zel's successor, Dr. Donald J. Macintyre, has been accused of

compromising on the merger issue, but in an interview last week, Netzel said those criticisms are unfair. "Dr. Macintyre is in -a difficult position," Netzel said. "One has the choice of 'stonewalling' or cooperating with those who have the power. I don't know what policy I would have followed. A year ago I made a talk before the Interim Committee on Higher Education of the state legislature. At that I said Auraria was not a mess. The extent to which we were required to cooperate was not great. "I think Auraria is now in a complete mess," he said. "We have been required to do considerably more than is appropriate under the Auraria concept. If the recommendations of the staff of the CCHE (Colorado Commission · on Higher Education) are adopted and implemented in resp~ct to academic affairs and support, it will be hard to justify the existence of two separate institutions," he said. Netzel charged that "despite the demographics, the two institutions (MSC and UCD) are different. If the CCHE recommendations are followed, they will be more and continued on page 11

NeWS Handicapped vet fights for access I

by Sal Ruibal

The wheels of change move slowly, but when those changes involve a federal agency, the state legislature, tight budgets and a reluctant bureaucracy, the movement can be infinitesimal. Such is the case with Billy Tilmon and the right of Jhe handicapped to an education.

room Tilmon attempted to enter with his motorized wheelchair was blocked by a large trash receptacle, making his entry impossible. MSC's response to the original 1978 complaint stated that "it is possible that at a specific time a trash contaiQer was · blocking a particular restroom doorway . .. however, this is not the regular loca-

Student pays $150 ''for all t~e times I've parked without paying" by Joan Conrow

Diogenes, the ancient philosopher, spent a good deal of his life wandering the streets of Athens looking for an honest man. Had the old Greek wandered onto the Auraria campus his search would have ended at the University of Colorado at Denver. A UCD student, who parked on campus without paying for the last two years, surprised Auraria Parking Director Ben Walton with a $150 restitution check last week. ''The money was not for fines or old tickets, but for all the times I've parked without paying," said Scott Engles, a graduate student in Electrical Engineering. "I would occasionally buy a ticket, and kept quite a few of the)ll on my dash. It was easy to get away with it, but I

Upon arrival of materials, the rail will be installed, albeit past the thirty day limit.

always wondered if it was reaJly right,'' he said. Engles said he had known for some time he could continue to get away with .it, but strongly felt he should make some sort of restitution. But, every time he figured out how much he owed, it was a sizable sum. "I wondered if maybe I shouldn't do something better with the money, such as give it to the church, or an organization that does work with children," said Engles. "But, the Lord kept saying there was no getting around it; I had to give the money to where it belonged." A talk with a Christian friend reinforced Engles' feelings that he needed to make amends. "My friend was honest and open, and said what I was doing was wrong, which I knew," explained Engles. "The discussion with him was a catalyst.

Engles quickly received a letter from Walton, who thanked him and explained how the money from parking revenues was used towards maintenance, bond repayment and salaries.

From the "Mere," Tilmon made his way carefully through the large flagstones that serve as sidewalks and patios in the Ninth Street Historic Park area. Tilmon pointed out that such areas are difficult for wheelchair users to negotiate because the stones are not flat and there are many drop-offs and holes. Wheelchair users with spastic problems are especially hard hit by such areas. "Even a tiny pebble can overturn a wheelchair," Tilmon said. As Tilmon, a Viet Nam-era veteran, moved down Ninth Street, he spoke about his attempt to secure a part-time job from the MSC Office of Veteran!> Affairs: "They told me I couldn't work there because there was no way I could get into the building." This was not · the first time Tilmon had encountered difficulty in his dealings with the Veterans Office. Located at 1015 Ninth Street, the OVA is housed in one of the. older buildings protected by historical designation. These designations also make if difficult to add the -necessary ramps that would open the building to wheelchair users. Tilmon had been told by OVA personnel if he wanted to utilize the services offered in the building, he should wait outside until someone noticed him and came outside to deal with the problem. He finally got a part-time job with the Veterans Office - at the Community College of Denver. Both AHEC and the Office for Civil continued on page 11

Editorial RTDmall:

80's concept, 70's problems by Frank Mullen J The Regional Transportation District is pleading innocent to the charge they promised the public an innovative Downtown Mall and will soon deliver a ghost of the dream. Recently the media scolded RTD for their plans to allow cross-traffic through the 16th Street Transitway/ Mall and for contracting to provide diesel shuttle vehicles instead of the promised pollution-free buses. RTD replied shutting off the mall to cross-traffic would effectively cut the downtown area in half and the mall was never designed to be totally traffic-free. As for the buses, RT D said _the technology does not exist to build an electric vehicle which would provide the same service as its diesel counterpart. RTD said they will be glad to convert the shuttles when a new type of battery is developed, although they have no funds available to do so. It is likely the Vehicles will be ready for retiremerrt before a new type of battery can be developed and installed. The critics are wrong to accuse RTD of "bait and switch" tactics. RTD never promised Denver a pedestrian utopia - the cross-traffic provision was in the plan all along - and although officials paid lip service to electric vehicles, RT D 's budget locked them into conventional shuttles. If you set out to buy a car with a $200 \>udget, you will wind up with a 1965 Chevy. If you set out to buy 35 shuttle buses with a $4 million budget, you will wind up with internal combustion engines. The concept of a pedestrian mall which would revitalize the downtown area while combatting pollution and the energy crunch is a good dream. Perhaps someone. will build one someday. Denver woulc;l have been a good place to try, but through a lack of money or imagination RTD missed its chance to be truly innovative. Denver is famous for shopping innovations. When Temple Buell built the Cherry Creek Shopping Center in 1949 it was the·first of its kind in the country. Business-

..J"Now, doesn't that improve your outlook on things?" . men throughout the nation liked the concept of the pedestrian mall surrounded by parking areas. Thousands of copies soon sprung up from Maille to southern California. Hopefully, when the RTD mall is complete, officials from other cities will examine the project (and its shortcomings) and will return to their home cities to come up with something truly innovative for their downtown.areas. Denverites however, will have to settle for the mall of the 1980s complete with the pollution, traffic, and energy problems of the 1970s.

Letters Dear Mr. Editor, The Boycott of Nestle products which is being done in the name of morality and the many infants in the Third World countries who have died from formula feeding, has had its effect. According to the Infant Formula Action Coalition (INFACT), the Nestle Company has "announced a halt to all consumer advertising of infant formula products in the developing countries." Unfortunately this is only a change in strategy. _ Nestle has not conceded the moral issue of killing babies, but instead calls the boycott a problem in public relations. Here in the homeland they have "stepped up advertising . . . for Nestle chocolate, Llbbys canned goods, Stouffer's frozen foods and other· consu1;11er goods." They've even gone so far as to send letters to religious leaders claiming that their Third World promotion of infant formula is 'charitable' and 'educational.' Accordingly, Nestle's promotion strategy in the Third World has undergone a shift from consumer targeting to the doctors and hospitals who deal with the mothers. "Giving gifts to influence doctors and hospital workers to recommend Nestle formula products ... appears to be rapidly expanding." One hospital administrator caught in the paradox of 'If you don't, someone else will,' said, "It is a very corrupting influence. You are always aware that you could have virtually anything you ask for." This isn't just another case of materialism vs. moral virtue. The death of human infants makes this a terminal case; and yet one where you and I have had, and may continue to have effect in slowing and stopping , the deathprocess. .T.._O_._. .. " ~ _ ·. .. .. . . - . '-·--

.. ·.

INFACT is involved with both the world-wide community effort and the legislature here in the U.S. They need the support of the increasing pressure from the boycott and letters and cards written t o your Congresspersons and Senators. Donald Gaeddert Student at MSC

Dear Editor, Would you please run an article on the Auraria Dept. of Public Safety? There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether the officers are police or security guards. I hav~ been told that they send their officers to the state police academy in Golden. If that is true, then I doubt iftbey are security guards. And besides, it says Police on their patrol cars. I hope you can clear this problem up for the students and faculty on campus. Hardly anyone seems to know one way or the other. Keep up the good work. Rick Brown MSC student

Newspapers are read as much for the comics as for the news; more people watch television situation comedies than watch the educational channel's specials; and certainly fast food chains are appreciated by more people than ever eat in the expensive, elite restaurants of any metropolis. You can learn a lot about a society by studying its favorite attractions, from movies to books to bumper stickers, from restaurants to sports, from advertising to music. By studying, in other words, the popular culture. American Culture is a proposed minor in the MSC history department which will, if approved, be available this spring semester as a formalized study of American popuJar (pop) culture. "What had more effect on the lives of our generation," asked 28-year-old Dr. Charles Dobbs of MSC's history department, "Sergeant Pepper or Johnson's intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965?" Dobbs adds: "If Broncomania is so important to people, shouldn't we study it, and find out about its implications?" Currently, the MSC history department offers a course which has a changing title, but which always deals with American popular culture. To date, History 150 has included Sports in America, Rock Music, and the Fabulous Fifties. This spring it will add Movies and 路A merican Culture. The attendance records in these classes and a growing awareness in the academic community of the need to study popular c碌lture, have prompted the MSC history department to formulate and seek approval for its American Cult碌 re minor. "Now there is an academic justification for it,'' Dobbs said. "Bowling Green State (University) has a Ph.D. in Popular Culture, and several schools offer master programs." The program is us-eful -to students majoring in mass marketing, journalism, political science, behavorial psychology, sociology and urban ~udies. "In giving a broad background into current trends in popular culture, fads, and social changes and what they mean," Dobbs said, "I can't think of any minor that could be more beneficial ..." Dr. Phillip Boxer, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, said, "I think the course is an attempt to enlarge the opportunity of the students to get a broader view o.f the -American society - to serve the needs of the students and the community. "It (popular culture studies) takes traditional courses and expands them,'' he said. "The&e will be very solid courses

.. . don't let th~ !}ames fool you." 'Fhe reqmrements for the minor at MSC will be a total of 21 credit hours in the history department, including American History II (History 122), History 150 (which will be changed to an introduction to American popular culture), an upper division popular culture seminar requiring a paper or project on any popular culture topic of the student's choice, and 12 additional credit hours that center on pop culture. Of the 21 hours, 12 must be upper division courses. The department will offer upper division courses in Rock Music in America, Sports in America, Movies and American Culture, Ethnicity (with a changing title and focus group each semester), and hopes to add Social History of America, Folklore, and individual media courses, such as radio and television, according to Dobbs. "If they're movie freaks, they could do a paper on that," Dobbs said of the seminar classes. "If they're bar freaks, fine, let them go and study the cultural aspects of bars ... it can be on any topic of popular culture they.like." He said two courses currently offer. ed at MSC, American West and American Civilization, can be applied toward the new minor, "because they are thematic .. . and taught in a social context." Students who have already taken the lower division MSC course, History 150, may make arrangements tO count those credits toward a minor in American Culture. "In terms of making Metro a leader in urban education - and isn't that our job? - this is about as relevant as you can get," Dobbs said. "The next step after the minor is approved," Dobbs said, "is to go for a governmental grant to set up an interdepartmental major ... I think this has potential - at least in an urban institution - to be our biggest draw." Several departments at MSC currently teach courses that could easily be tied into an interdepartmental major in American Culture: History of Jazz (Music); Detective Novel (English); Contemporary Issues (Journalism); Politics and Mass Media (Political Science), and courses in Urban Studies and Law Enforcement. "I would think that every department would have a course or courses that would fit into this major," Dobbs said. ln the meantime, the American Culture Minor in History must only pass th<; curriculum committee before it is put on the book~ . Passage by the committee seems assured, sources told THE METROPOLITAN. . continued on page 14

Old Saint Liz: by Karen Breslin Amid Auraria's functional brick and glass classroom buildings St. Elizabeth's Church is a stately reminder of the past. This month marks the lOOth anniversary of the parish. The current church, a national landmark, was built in 1898. A smaller, brick church built in 1879 served the parish until 1890 when it was razed to make way for the new church and school. German miners who headed west with the discovery of gold in 1858 founded the parish. Mining camps sprung up throughout the area, including one named Auraria, which later merged with Denver City. The Germans settled along Cherry Creek according to Father Declan Madden, who compiled a short history of St. Elizabeth's. The Germans were given permission to start a new Catholic parish by Bishop Joseph Machebeuf. A German speaking priest was sent in and given the job of constructing a church. The. Germans intended to make St. Elizabeth's an exclusively German parish. However, too few Germans lived in the area making it necessary to incJude other Catholics, who were mostly Irish. The two factions were unable to coexist peacefully. The language and cultural barriers forced the parish to split in two, with separate priests and mass times for both. The arrangement was unsuccessful. Denver miller J .K. Mullen donated his land at Tenth Street and W. Colfax and work began on a separate church for the Irish. The Church, St. Leo Ci> the Great, stood until 1965 when it was a; razed to make way for the Auraria Day ~ Care Center. ..._....;._,_

~A century of growth ',

The arrival of Father Francis Koch in 1887 marked the beginning of St. Elizabeth's growth. A school, convent, orphanage and monastery were built, financed by contributions solicited by Father Koch. Construction began on the church in 1893 and the present building was completed in 1898. The church, constructed out of lava rock quarried in Castle Rock, cost $43,000. In 1902 the church was consecrated, a ceremony permitted only when a religious structure is free from debt. The Denver Times called it "the most impressive Catholic ceremony ever performed in Colorado." The calm of the parish was shattered in 1908. In 1907 Father Leo Heinrichs came to St. Elizabeth's as pastor. On February 23, 1908, the priest was killed while distributing Communion at a morning mass. Giuseppe Alia, a 56-yearold Sicilian, was convicted of shooting the priest. . · The suspect was caught before he fled the church. A mob gathered on the parish steps as Alia was taken into custody. According to The Denver Catholic Register, ''Alia was threatened many times, and the police rushed him from jail to jail to save hiin from the · mobs."

While downtown merchants generally favor the RTD Transitway/ Mall, its actual effect on improving business in the city's core is a matter of speculation.. Downtown Denver, Inc., an organization that represents the banking, real estate, retail and planning sectors of downtown, is enthusiastic about the mall, and has supported the present design since its conception. "At the public hearing in April, not one voice was raised against the mall,'' said Dana Crawford, Vice President of Downtown Denver, Inc. "There will be some discomfort for some, because certain people are often resistant to change, but in the long pull, there is an extremely important first step for improving the quality of downtown Denver.'' Crawford feels the mall will have a "tremendous" effect on sales, and will act as a catalyst that could bring about other private and public improvements in the downtown area. William Weil, President of Fashion Bar, said although the mall may be an aesthetic asset to the downtown area, it would not necessarily improve sales. "People will continue to frequent shopping centers in suburban areas where they have a large assortment of stores and can shop at night. The downtown stores do not offer this advantage, and parking is more of a problem downtown." Crawford said Denver has an excess

of retail space as it is, and retailers will have to take steps to provide something better and different to increase their sales. "This is an extremely competitive business. Downtown has the opportunity to offer more originality and quality. It is .the center of commerce, culture and government, and can be the center for exciting retail life for the community," Crawford said. · Ronald Ruskin, chairman of May D&Fagreed. "The 16th Street Mall could awaken interest in the downtown area and attract more businesses and developers," he said. "The mall will be something new and different. It will be convenient to reach by bus, and I feel it will generally attract more people downtown." Neil Myets, General Manager of J .C. Penney's, supports the mall, but he was not as optimistic as Ruskin. ~ "We'll just have to wait and see," he ir said. "As more residential and office .E space is developed, there will necessarily 6 be more people in the downtown area. Leo's Place: endangered species. Whether or not the mall itself will be a determining factor in boosting business not there yet, but we will be. We know The mall will help revitalize downtown. where our goals are.

as Lionel Hampton, Buddy Rich, Danny Brubeck and Carly Simon, this is Sussman's first attempt at writing and performing his own pieces. Sussman shouid also be credited with assembling two horn men and a rhythm section that are first rate. The quintet's overall sound is reminiscent of Keith Jarrett's ensemble work. An underlying piano theme, a rambling bass line and poly-rhytµmic trap work set the stage for winding sax solos and Sussman's own forays into spontaneity. His solos are denser than Jarrett' s, with tangential, off-key harmonies that bely a McCoy Tyner influence. These outside influences are few and far between, though, as much of Sussman's expression carries his own personal stamp - an introspective mood brimming with optimism and just a hint of mystery. The compositions are cleanly scored to provide a wide-open feel, yet are based on careful construction. Trumpeter Tom Harrell burns through his time-slots with a definite Freddie Hubbard taint, but with far more restraint and discipline.

In one memorable scene, the inept · hero, Brian (Graham Chapman), is sent on a midnight mission by a psuedo-intellectual band of revolutionaries called the Judean Peoples Front. While painting "Romans G~ Home" on the walls of Pontius Pilate's palace, Brian is confronted by a Roman Centurion. Instead of arresting Brian, he begins to berate the would-be revolutionary about Brian's lousy use of Latin. The guard forces Brian lo conjugate the sentence properly, then order~ him to write it one hundred times, or "I'll cut your balls off!" Brian completes the task by dawn, incurring the wrath of the Romans and the admiration of the revolutionaries. Like most Python projects, this film is light on plot, heavy on the action.

At the Century 21. Jesus, what a movie! Monty Python's Life of Brian has been called "a vicious attack on Judaism and the Bible, and a cruel mockery of the religious feelings of Christians as well." True enough. With a come-on like that, you know it has to be good. Well, yes and no. Yes, it is funny most of the time. Many scenes are classics of Pythonic humor, that blend of horrendous puns and visual debauchery.

and lowers the goods to the sisters below surrounded by police. Teresa escapes and hears from her eloped husband in Sicily. She goes to meet him and enjoys "the most beautiful three days of my life'' until Allied shells begin landing on the beach around them. The film goes on like this - densely woven highlights of Teresa's life adventures. She lands in jail three times, the last one being the most sobering. Teresa is a woman living day-to-day and is never really sure why she is happy when she is. And sure enough, like her mother told her, something bad always happens to her when she is happy. Without question, Teresa the Thief goes somewhere because of the riveting performance by veteran actress Monica Vitti. Most welcome is that Vitti never allows any pity for our heroine, because Teresa gets into her messes in spite of herself. Though stunningly beautiful, Vitti has enough sides to her as an actress to execute the role with profound authority. More interestingly, the film marks the debut of Carlo DiPalma as a director. As a cinematographer, he has worked for Antonioni in Blow-Up and Red Desert as continued on page 14

i'ERESA THE THIEF. Starring Monica Vitti. Directed bt Carlo DiPalma. At the Flick. Teresa Numa ·was born into a family of nine, had a hard-hitting father and was ,.thrown out of the house at the tender age of fourteen. That she didn't become a vicious, hardened criminal is a surprise. Teresa is a victim of circumstance, but with the proverbial heart of gold and as harmless as a bird. Teresa the Thief chronicles the true story of Teresa Numa. Set in Fascist ' taly, the film follows Teresa from age · twenty to forty as she trys to fend for herself. She steals more for want of food than anything else and that she doesn' t get a job (the idea of it never enters her head) is more an indictment on Fascist It~y. where it seems no one puts in an "honest day's work. She becomes involved through a close group of friends at a pool hall. Together. with two other women, the . "Shanghai sisters," they steal a flamingo from the zoo and wait days for it to cook. Finally they go big-time and Teresa ,..p,...,aks into an empty Roman apartment

Brian Pythons took the easy way out. In Brian, the humorous effect of having the same six actors play multiple roles in a fairly straight-line plot causes confusion and eventually, boredom . Many times ()Illy a costume change is used to differentiate between characters." Brian's final scene, however, does not leave the viewer hanging, but manages to redeem (no pun intended) some of the plot's shortcomings. I won't got into the details, but it's a real bad taste toe tapper.

multiple chase scenes, a bizarre UFO sequence, gladiators, lisping Romans, naked bodies, and racous crowd scenes ..are all individually funny, but the total effect leaves the movie-goer longing for something with substance. This has always been a problem with the Pythons. Their previous feature film, In Search of the Holy Grail, utilized a more complex plot design with extensive use of parallel construction, allowing for .J.gi-eater diversity of characters . Nevertheless, the film hit a dead end and the

Spikers drop season opener

MSC kickers s~ash BYU, Ottawa MSC defeated Brigham Young University 3-2, Ottawa University 1-0 and dropped a 3-0 decision to the Air Force Academy in soccer action this past week, to bring their season record to five wins and three losses. -On Sunday MSC blanked the visiting Ottawa University 1-0 as goalie Marcus Motte was credited with the shutout. The winning goal was scored by halfback Dennis Daly on a deep pena1ty shot midway through the second half while playing one man down. Motte

helped his own cause by blocking several OU penalty attempts throughout the game. -On Saturday last, Vic Stump's.two goal performance led the Roadrunners to a 3-2 win over the highly regarded BYU Palefaces. Stump scored on a free kick and on a header shot set up perfectly by forward Tom Ipson. Goalie Marcus Motte, playing for the injured Ed Clark, preserved the win for Metro by gathering in a Paleface penalty shot late in the game. George Fekete slammed home the

third goal for Metro to provide the margin of victory: -The Air Force Academy shut out Metro 3-0 on September 15th down in the Springs as Zoomie goalie Steve Canyon earned the shutout. -The Roadrunner Soccer Club blasted Bible Baptist 11-0 Sept. 22 evening at the Broomfield- Recreation Center. Forward Tom Sutton led the jihad with a double hat trick (six scores). The club continued to remain undefeated with an 1-0-1 season mark.

Metro's -Women's Volleyball team dropped its season opener to Colorado State Tuesday evening in Fort Collins; 11-15, 8-15, 15-10, 12-15. The team played without the services of several starters, including All-Conference player Mary Dougherty, who is sidelined with an injury. Poor positioning and ineffective defensive coverage proved to be MSC's eventual downfall. . Due to the injuries in the starting lineup, Coach Pat Johnson was able to allow several freshmen spikers to ac• cumulate valuable game experience.
