Regents.propose single·chief by Sal Ruibal

The Board of Regents of the University of Colorado apparently have not given up hope for the eventual merger of Auraria,s two largest institutions. In a presentation to the Colo• rado Commission on Higher Education last week, the Regents proposed that. Metropolitan State College and the University of Colorado-Denver be administered by a single chief executive. The i:" combined leader would be hired by, and responsible to, both the Regents and the Trustees of the State College Consortium, MSC,s governing board. The RegenCs proposal is a re" treat from their previous hard-line position in favor of a direct merger under their control. The .new position still calls for consolidation of administrative, academic, budget, finance, and .it student service activities between the two schools. The Regents outlined their plan at a hearing conducted by the CCHE as part of the requirements set by the 1979 state General As.- sembly. House Bill 1498 orders the commission to present recommendations to the ·assembly concerning the "continuance, restructuring, or dissolution,' of the Auraria

Higher Education Center by January 15, 1980. Citizen input was required under H.B. 1498 and the CCHE heard public comment on Oct. 22. The governing boards of MSC, UCD and the Community College of Denver-Auraria gave presentations, as well as the Auraria Board. The·State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education did not respond to the Re-genCs proposal, but asked that -whatever the outcome of the merger issue, the individuality a,nd mission of the Community College of Denver-Auraria be left intact. The SBCCOE also asked for representation of any governing board of the combined schools. The ·Trustees, MSC,s governing board, supported a proposal by the Auraria Board that would give that body the power to settle disputes between MSC and UCD. The Tmstees said they were happy with the minor consolidations directed by the CCHE earlier this year, but did not want further merging of services or departments . The Auraria Board emphasized that their first choice was a merger of MSC and UCD, with the combined · board taking over the responsibilities of the Auraria '

Board. Their second choice was the "modified status quo,, position favored by the Trustees. CCHE staff members have expressed concerns that there has not been enough time to properly prepare recommendations. H.B. 1498 was initially proposed by State Representative Tom Tancredo (RArvada) with a deadline of 1983. As the bill moved through the Assembly, the date was advanced to 1981, and finally to January, 1980. The bill was signed by

Governor Richard Lamm in June 1979, giving the CCHE only six months to complete what was originally viewed as a three-andone-half year project. The CCHE staff will present their report to the commission at the Nov. 2 meeting in Greeley, only 'twelve days after the public hearings: In December the CCHE will decide on its final recommendations, with the report going to the General Assembly in January.

Car.insurance: A game of chance? by Kay Diller and Frank Mullen

A group qf University of Colorado at Denver students investigated several ~ local insurance companies and found their rate structures to be erratic- and apparently unpredictable. The UCD chapter of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group contacted 11 insurance agencies in the Denver Metro area. The male and female students were all 27 years old and provided ""/ the insurance agents with the same information. All were given different estimates for a six-month policy peripd and in some cases the students contacted the same office on the same day and provided the same information - and were given two different price quotes. All students were 27, single, and told the insurabce agents they wanted to insure a 1976 Ford Mustang two-door. None of the students had any accidents or any tickets for the last six years. The average distance driven to work· each day was four to five miles. The coverage was: 15/30/10 liability, 25,000 PIP medical, $100,000 collision with $100 deductible and uninsured motorist 15/30 coverage. · CoPIRG does not suggest this coverage, nor recommend the deductibles, but used the amounts as constant factors for the survey. The surveyers had similar results at · all the companies. The most radical rate difference occurred when the surveyers contacted an office of State Farm In-

surance. At State Farm the male student was told a six-month coverage period would cost $209. The first female was told the same policy cost $114, while the second female, who reported the same factors, ·was given a quote of $163. Only the American Automobile Association ' quotes remained basically the. same for both females. (See chart for complete quotes.) . How can the same agencies, using· the same data, come up with two separate and different rates? CoPIRG investigators asked a representative from the Colorado Insurance Division and an agent from State Farm Insurance the same question - and came up with two different answers. Bob Baker, of the Insurance Division, said the agents of the insurance companies could have given the· students incorrect quotes. Baker said the errors would be found and corrected by the insurance underwriters when the policies were issued. Jim Lyset, a State Farm Insurance agent, agreed the difference in the rates between the two females was probably the insurance agent's error. Lyset, however, said the underwriter would have probably issued the policy as the agent wrote it. Another possible reason for the difference in quotes, Lyset said, is the practice of insurance agents ''buying policies." An agent, he said, can purposely classify an automobile or other

-''·No-need'' jobs :J. in short supply 'J ~".!----~---'--'-~~~~~~~~~---,

by Steve Raabe

A Metropolitan State College work'"'study program for non-needy stµdents . , will receive no more publicity, financial "' aid- officials said, despite widespread ignorance of the plan. · The program, also called Code Nine • . ·work-study, provides jobs for MSC students who aren't eligible for financial aid. An informal study of Metro students 1and faculty showed that a majority had never heard of the plan. Marcy Kaufman, a Financial Aid Office employee, said the no-need workstudy program is filled and has a waiting list. She said although information for the plan is available only in financial aid documents and by word of mouth, the office will not offer additional publicity. "What do you want me to do, stand up on a mountain and yell about it?" Kaufman asked. "If you publicize a program of that size and get 2,000 applicants, then you're not doing a service." Kaufman said the program now employs 38 students, and the waiting list is so long that, "I can almost guarantee no additional spring semester placements." Each student in the no-need program receives $800 per semester. Individual job classifications dictate the number of

hours a student must spend on the job. Kaufman said the degree of a student's financial independence does not influence eligibility for the program. "We don't care if they have savings of $100 or $100,000, as long as they ca~ prove that they're not financially needy," Kaufman said. • Students applying for the program must submit the same documents as those applying for financial aid, Kaufman s~id. These include the MSC Internal Application for Financial Aid, the Family Financial Statement, and the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant form. After all forms have been submitted, students are selected strictly on a firstcome, first-served basis, Kaufman said. The no-need work-study program was started several years ago after the Colorado legislature required that 25-30 percent of the work-study allocation be spent on non-needy students, providing that they are Colorado residents and taking a minimum of six semester hours. An attempt by THE METROPOLITAN to interview students in the program was thwarted after the Financial Aid Office refused to release their names. The office said disclosing the names would violate the Rights and Privacy Act. The newspaper would still like to contact the ''no-need'' students and is pursuing the matter.

New UCO center administers $1 million in research grants The University of Colorado at Denver consolidated four major scientific research projects under a new Center for Environmental Sciences orr the Auraria campus. The center will administer over $1 million yearly·in grants for research of importance to Colorado and the nation. Research is being done by the center on recycling of waste water, disposal and storage of uranium mining tailings, alternative methods of waste water disinfection, and the environmental dangers of oil shale processing . Research is directed at environmental problems in Colorado and particularly at oil shale processing, since most of the oil shale in the U.S. is in Colorado and will be processed here, Dr. Bill Chappell, the center director, said. Research to date indicates processing of the rock containing oil shale causes two of the other elements contained in the same rock, fluoride and molybdenum, to be easily dissolved by water. This could lead to significant problems in Colorado's fresh water supply and preventative solutions to the problem is part of the center's research, Chappell said. A method of dealing with solid waste has been developed, he said. Plants are grown on a large area of land where the waste material has first been spread and covered with dirt. One drawback is that boron another mineral, is taken up by the pl~nts, he said, but the difficulties of this process have not been evaluated. Research has also shown that arsenic, another substance contained in the rock,

Money, ·morale IOw at media cent~r ~ by Joam Conrow

The Auraria Media Center is facing a $100,000 budget shortage, reduced services, low staff morale and a very uncertain future. Funding is the major problem. The Joint Budget Committee (JBC) decreed 40 per<'.ent of the AM C's $390,000 budget for '79-80 should come from the General Fund, with the Auraria institutions contributing the remaining 60 percent from cash funds·. "The institutions don't have the money,'' said Ray Anderton, Director of the AMC. "They've pledged twice as much as they gave a year ago, plus an additional IO percent, but it still leaves us 30 percent shor.t, and that's where the crunch comes in." The Long Bill footnote states the funds shall be transferred, and the State Attorney General is in the process of deciding if the institutions must come 'up with the additional monies. However, their budgets were not funded to include contributions to the AMC. "They're (the Auraria institutjons) really bare bones, the_y have no slush," said Anderton. "The institutions shouldn't be given money for this. The point is, the JBC ought to fund it (the AMC) or get the hell out of the media business. They· ought to fund it like they do the library." Anderton said he must return to his former position as a Library Media instructor at UCD next fall. He has been on a four year unpaid leave of absence while directing the media center.

Without the funds, the AMC was forced to reduce services and staff. These changes affected certain staff positions and contracts, which · adversely affected staff morale. , ''The problem is morale. AMC morale is as low as any organization I've ever been in,'' said Barry Barnes, who currently is working at the AMC without a contract. J;Jarnes and Vivian Brockman were transferred from the administration of the instructional development and media resources departments, to campus services. Campus services distributes media equipment to the three institutions. "Being put in campus services is a punishment, a way.of saying 'get your ass out' without directly saying it," Barnes said. He said Anderton and the CCD administration would like him to quit to avoid the cost of laying him off. "I really am bitter," Barnes said, who is looking for another job. "We knew six months ago the budget was cut down. I'm upset things were left to drift and decisions made so suddenly.'' His feelings are shared by other staff members as welL Willow Denker, a work/study employee voiced some of their questions and concerns in a series of letters to Anderton and the executives of each institution. "It makes you feel like you're being used when you're not in on the decision," Denker said. Anderton said givfng campus services priority over instruction and production was established by faculty, · the academic offices, and people within the media center. He said an independent

I•

by Steve Raabe The fio.ancially troubled Auraria Media Center is seeking funds to study a complex educational television system for Colorado. Instructional Television Fixed Service has the potential to reach 225,000 Colorado residents not currently enrolled in traditional college programs, according to AMC director Ray Anderton. · Anderton said $ 50,000 in state or federal grants is needed to study the feasibility of operating an . ITFS system from the Auraria campus. ~ Should the study document a need f or t h e system, t h e c o lorad o 1eg1s · 1ature ld h · $100 000 wou ave to the appropnate ' $150,000 to start program. Critics of the AMC have questioned the advisability of seeking such funding in view of the media center's current budget problems. "We've got to- explore and try new ideas," Anderton said. "I've always felt the old saying 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' is very appropriate here." The ITFS would use a specially designated radio frequency to broadcast ) educational programs that could be received on television sets equipped with JTFS receiving equipment. Anderton said there is vast potential for the program in individual instruction in homes and group instruction in businesses. In addition to the ITFS appropriation, Anderton is hoping to receive fun- ~ ding for a microwave cornrnunications transmitter. This equipment would allow Auraria, University of Colorado at Boulder, and c.u. Medical Center to exchange videotaped. instructional programs that could then be transmitted via ITFS. Anderton is leaving the AMC i · next fall and returning to UCO. Bill Hillin of the C.U. Educational · Media Center estimated the cost for the Auraria transmitter at $10,000.

. . . . . . . . . . ... . . by Frank Mullen Poe would have liked the Patterson mansion, which stands like a huge red specter of the medieval past on the corner of 11th and Pennsylvania Streets. The house, built in 1891, was once the home of Senator Thomas Patterson, a former editor of the Rocky Mountain News. Its history includes tales of mysterious deaths, ghostly disembodied sounds and strange apparitions. .. Dennis Beckel, an investments and real estate broker, now owns the structure. He likes the .red sandstone turrets, the great oaken fireplaces, the secret rooms and passageways, and the ghost stories. Beckel led Clint Funk, a METROPOLITAN photographer, and myself on a tour of the mansion Oct. 28. Clint and I received Becket's permission to spend night in the house. No one has lived in the house for many years. The former owners, including real estate broker Mary Rae, have insisted the house is haunted. The house has since been converted to office space. ''This place does weird things to your head," Beckel said. "It always was weird. The way it is constructed - the angles, the turrets~ the porous red sandstone it's made of - does strange things to sound." 路 He led us through the third floor rooms. We entered the north-east corner office, where a child died of "unknown" causes in the 1950's, and where, a short time later, the baby's distraught mother had taken her own life with cyanide. Beckel said when psychic Jan Massoner came to the house she said "there was a prevading feeling of evil" in that bedroom and in the basement rooms. A seance was conducted in the house, with Massoner and a few friends around a table in the grand foyer. Allegedly, Massoner made contact with several spirits, who kept trying to direct the grol!p's attention to the basement rooms. 路 Beckel led us to the basement and showed us the secret room which had

"Perhaps," he said ominously, "they didn't dig deep-enough." Beckel said the people who work in the north-east office have reported strange occurences, perhaps the result of poltergeist activity. "Nothing really evil happens," he said. ''They say typewriters get turned on when they know they've turned them off.

You know, mischievous things like that.'' Garth Gibbons, ·who works in the building with Beckel, said stranger things have happened on the third floor. Night watchmen won't stay in the place, he said, and the mansion is now guarded by an expensive motion-alarm system. Guard dogs used to be on duty, he said, but one night the dogs leaped out the third floor windows, killing themselves on the pavement below. Gibbons said he has not witnessed any apparitions, but when he works alone in the house late at night, he sometimes gets "an overwhelming urge to drop everything and run out the door.'' "I don't have to be thinking about spooks or anything like that," he said. "It's just a feeling that comes out "Of nowhere ... That's the way the place is.'' Later that night, two women came over with a Ouija Board. Shortly after midnight, the four of us climbed the oaken staircase and sat in the room where the baby died many years before, and where, just recently, the guard dogs had gone mad. The room was cold and musty smelling, the only light came from the flashlight I held over the Ouija Board. As soon as the womtn sat down and placed their fingers lightly on the indicator, the plastic pointer began to jerk over the surface of the board. I know both women well, and they were too scared to play games after hearing the stories about the house. "I've felt Ouija's ·before," one of the women said. "But this time the thing was really moving fast." They asked the "spirit" its name. HEATHER, the board said. Among the gibberish letters pointed out by the indicator there came several complete sentences and words:

Auraria·._a rt that dots the city-· by S. Peter Duray-Bito ~ Remember when you used to follow the dots and get a bunny -rabbit or duck? Or a young lady bending over? Well, Metro art student Ed Kosinski has elevated the basic follow-the-dots idea into a conceptual art piece that is uniquely Aurarian. · "I stood at the southeast corner of the Arts building and handed out dots in exchange for the person's address," ex. plains Kosinski, 26. " With one hundred · addresses, I arranged the dots on a map and 'followed-the-dots~ ." . The finished map will be on display from Nov. 1 on th~ window of THE '\ METROPOLITAN in Room 155 of the Student Center. The one hundred participants in the project, as well as anyone else, can come view the piece at their leisure. The key to the work is the random ~ pattern of the dots· as defined by 'the

people who happened to walk by Kosinski. "I handeq out dots on Oct. 15, 16 and 17 ftom noon to 1 p .m.," says Kosinski. " I had no idea who was coming by or where they lived." · The dots consist of a piece of ma~onite painted black, with a white number on it, and signed by the artist on the back. . Kosinski maintains the concept is the art and the dots serve as-documentation. "I'm trying to remove art from gallery space to a city-wide scale," he emphasizes. "Eventually, I'd like to do this at the airport and erect a world map." Aside from documenting a certain person's · address , the piece also establishes the person having met the artist at a given place and time. "I've received a lot of positive response from this," says Kosinski. "I hope people will tal<e the time to view the piece."

Herzog_presents a cerebral DraCula . by Jan Mackie

In the beginning of Werner Herzog's new version of the classic vampire film, Nosferatu, Jonathan Harker - the ostensible hero - sets out on horseback from Wismar in northeast Germany, a port city of dark cobblestoned streets and placid waterways. Harker is off to seek his fortune by arranging for the sale of the housi;: next door to his to, of all people, Count Dracula of Transylvania. He has been warned that his journey may cost him dearly in time and effort, even in (his informant leers) "blood." But Harker sees the chance to realize a substantial profit. He could, he rationalizes, buy a new house for his lovely young wife, Lucy. He could also escape from his present environment, from what he calls "this country of encircling qmals." He is clearly both the entrepreneur and the romantic individualist. He sees his venture as a way 'to throw off the boundaries and the bonds and the tedium of everyday life - and to make some money. Jonathan's adoring wife has premonitions; she fears for his safety even before he departs. In the early scenes they are a romantically idealized couple, united in affection and spirit, sharing cozy breakfasts in sun-drenched morning rooms (with kittens), leaning together in walks along mist-shrouded beaches. But Jonathan makes his choice and persists in it. On his voyage to Castle Dracula he is warned by gypsies: "There is no castle; it's in people's imaginations. He who ventures in too far will be lost." Our hero, however, has already made the fatal step into a new existence. And what of the Count Dracula that Harker is seeking out? How does he compare to others more familiar to American audiences? For one thing, he's uglier. His chalk white face, soot-ringed eyes·, and strangely centered irretractable fangs resemble those of his predecessor, the vampire of the original Nosferatu, a motion picture made in Germany during the 1920s. This recent Nosferatu seems alien to us. He has little in common with the fatally charming, unmussed ladies' man who probably originated in movies with Bela Lugosi, and has been perpetuated with emendations and embellishments by Christopher Lee and Frank Langella,

among others. No, Herzog's vampire'f 9 though sometimes pitiable, is not appealing and has no amorous relationships. _He does not travel in the company of a harem of blood-sucking females, as he did in Bram Stoker's novel. And he doesn't seem to make quasi-sexual converts either, as he has in almost every tell-ing of the story in film fiction since. He is alone. That, I think, is Herzog's point. This Dracula movie is entertaining, but it is not, I would venture to say, primarily an "entertainment'' film. It is a serious film .cast in a popular genre. It is about the penalties of losing contact with, identification with, other human beings. Not only does Harker abandon love and community, but Count Dracula more than once refers to his own isolation as "worse than death." As the film progresses, the most..' stunning of its many beautiful images are those which center on the individual alone: Jonathan's silhouette against dark and rolling clouds as daylight fades over the desolate Carpathian mountains Lucy's delicate pre-Raphaelite beauty set off by white dress and white curtain as she waits in a window for Jonathan's return - Dracula's deadly pale face and hand vignetted against black as he sits across Harker at their first meeting. Yet to say Nosferatu has a serious purpose does not mean it's a totally serious movie. One of the marks of Herzog's directorial skill is that he uses the comic potentials of the horror story, as Poe often did, to · heighten by contrast that which is grisly and gruesome. The preview audience laughed when Harker, the lone horseman, canters off down a village street toward Transylvania. And no wonder. His solitary quest seems picaresque at best, ridiculously foolish at worst. We know the story almost as well as ancient Greek audiences knew the tale of Oedipus - and we have a pretty good· idea of what Harker is in for. Laughter is in order. We laugh again when Harker cuts · his finger during his first supper with the Count and Dracula, salivating, scrambles to apply what he calls "the oldest remedy in the world." At such moments we enjoy both the humor of the action and our own godlike foreknowledge of what's to come. Somehow these interludes of . next page

Erisman, presents ~hopin, Beethoven at St. Cajetan' s I

by Manette Deranleau

Zoe Erisman, an associate professor • of music at the University of Colorado at f>enver, will present a piano concert at St. Cajetan's hall on Nov. 9. Selections from Schubert, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Franck, Ravel and Prokofieff are on the program. Erisman said in choosing pieces for the concert she tries for stylistic variety and contrast in length. The pieces from Schubert, Chopin, Franck, and Mendelssohn are miniatures, one movement pieces, she said. These pieces are from the 19th century, a romantic era for music. Erisman said she is "especially fond" of that period. Erisman said she chose Beethoven's Sonata Opus 3, No. 3 because it is an early piece that is not often beard. "The whole point of it is to add something to people's lives," she said. · While performing she tries to maintain a "calm, recepti_ve" state of mind. "I am very receptive to sound while performing," Erisman said. The performer must be both subjective and objective, she said. A pianist. she said, must be emotionally involved and still be aware of the physical motion. "Eighty percent of a performance is thorough preparation. A certain amount of nervousness and anticipation is good, terror comes only if you are uncertain of your preparation," Erisman said.

oontinuedfrompagell humor intensify our shudders when Dracula's misshapen shadow, but not his person, is reflected in Lucy's bedroom mirror, or when hordes of rats swarm from the vampire's ship and clot the dark village streets and doorways like maggots _., in rotting wood. With Nosferatu, Herzog has continued to pursue the idea of man's dissociation from his own kind - this time through the mythic characters of gothic fantasy. And when Harker gallops into grey distance at the end of the film, ~ we are left to contemplate what choice of his (and maybe ours) actually leads ·to such final and irrevocable alienation.

SOCCER Metro State College's soccer team· dropped a close 2-0 decision to Big Eight leader University of Colorado Friday, Oct. 26 at Folsom Field in Boulder. The first half ended in a scoreless tie as both the Roadrunners and the Buffs brought the ball upfield several times yet were unable to capitalize on their field position. Penalties played as much of a part in foiling attacks on offense as did the CU defensemen. CU broke the game open at the onset of the second half when, in the 47th minute a clearing kick by CU goalie Holmen-Jensen was snatched by CU winger Orville.. Parke. Parke ghosted. a Metro defender and popped the ball into the net. The soccer team has been in a mild transistion state in that it has switched to a ""4-4-2 offense-defense from· the traditional 3-3-4. This gives the team an extra striker on offense and an extra

defender on -defense. It was_first employed in Metro's big win over Colorado College Oct. 20 but still Jieeds some work. Friday's game marked the first time Club-team standout Tom Sutton was able to play with the varsity squad because the CU team is a club and can play those who are ineligible for varsity games. Sutton will be available for varsity action next season. · CU's second score came five minutes later as Parke headed a beautiful pass to midfielder Doug Adams who slipped inside the Metro ballkeeper and netted the ball for the final score of the game. Metro played well in the first half but the Baby Beefs definitely played better controlled soccer - partially due to the fact that the Beefs were playing on the Astroturf Folsom Stadium field. The synthetic grass is considerably faster than natural turf and the CU team gained an obvious advantage due to their familiarity with the ersatz vegetation.

SPORTS.CALENDAR VOLLEYBALL Metro Stat~ College's women's volleyball team brought home the first place trophy for the third year in a row from the Air Force Volleyball Invitational tourney on Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Academy. The ladies bested University of Southern Colorado 15-9, 15-12 in the finals to successfully defend their title. Metro went 6-2 overall in the roundrobin in elimination that determined the quarter-finals with wins over Air Force, Colorado Women's College, Western New Mexico State and USC. The ladies dropped a game to Air Force and one to USC. MSC was surprised 7-15 in the first game of the quarters by Western State but came back strongly to pick up the next two sets 15-9, 15-4 to gain the finals.

Anderton said he is aware his staff is feeling anger and frustration, and said people are under a lot of pressure because of the reduction in staff and subsequent heavier work loads. He said people were unable to plan their lives because of the uncertain future of the AMC. ''The future of the media center is very unclear right now," Anderton said. "One of the members of the JBC staff said 'next year we plan to make it 100 percent cash funding.'

Chappell said the pilot project which eventually led to the creation of the center began in 1970 when he was a research physicist interested in the environmental · impact of moly.bdenum mining. In 1975 the group was funded by the Environmental Proteoaob Agency to do a three-year study on the impact on humans. The study resulted in a recommendation for acceptable levels of molybdenum in drinking water of one to ten parts per billion. Chappell said that when this amount is exceeded, although not harmful, it is the result of industrial activities. He said the presence of molybdenum -in plants and animals is natural within a one to five parts per million range. Funding from federal agencies to be used directly' by the center will total $1 .3 million next year, he said .

three schools have to say, 'hey, we need a media center and your way of funding it is wrong.' " There is concern among Anderton and his .srnff that CCD is not taking the~ lead to unify the institutions in making a stand. The CCD Oct. 26 staff meeting, Larry Wood, chief of media engineering, spoke of CCD's "institutionar responsibility" for the AMC, in both funding and approaching the JBC. · "All of us Have the responsibility to get the message across to the legislators," said Lahti. He said he did not feel CCD has a responsibility to provide additional funding. "What the Attorney General says . will fund the AMC," Lahti said. "It says· it's not mandatory (to transfer funds) things will be cut more." · The future of the Auraria Media Center lies with the JBC, legislators, and the administrators of the Auraria institutions. "There's a real untapped potential . there (the AMC)," said Barnes, "but it's going to require some strong leadersltip, and some clear cut decisions· among the three institutions on what they really want from the Media Center.''

CCD Elections

continued from page 4 constitution was written hy the student ~tructural review committee, a body created by the old student government. _ Hughes said the old government suspended its operations due to an ap: parent lack of interest on the part of the CCD-A student body. Part of the problem, he said, was in the structure of the student constitution. . The new document, Hughes said, should overcome the structural problems of its predecessor. " ''The students might be more interested in participating if the structure better .-esponded to the students," he said. "We believe the new structure is a great improvement." He said petitions for those interested in Junning for the student government positions will be available in the CCD-A Administration building after Nov. 1. The students must be registered for six or more credit:hours and must have a grade point average ·o r 2.0 or better to be eligible to run. In order to be placed on the ballot, the candidates must accumu- ~ late the signatures of at least 25 CCD-A students. Elections will be held in December. All CCD-A students are eligible to vote.
