Student financial aid

Are aid budgets fantasy or reality? by Joan Conrow

The established financial aid budgets are neither realistic nor practical, many financial ·aid recipients complain, but state officials do not agree. "We feel the budgets (estab<-- lished by the Financial Aid Offices) are fairly adequate,'' said _ Lindsey Baldner, financial aid coordinator for Colorado Commission on Higher Education. ''On the other hand, they're very ,,- tight, which we feel they should be. Students receiving aid are living on tax dollars, so they shouldn't be living in luxury." In a random sampling of students who agreed to answer .- questions in exchange for anonymity, THE METRO POLITAN found those receiving total financial aid were generally unable to live on their allotments. "The.whole federal idea of what l _ people can live on and what they can't live on is a total fantasy," said one Metropolitan State College student. "If it wasn't for working off the books as a dishwasher and a cook in a restaurant, -..:: and as a janitor in a nursing home, I'd be sleeping in the gutter now/' The 1979-80 MSC student budget is set at $3,562.00 for an a~ademic year. This fig_u re is to in-

elude tuition, fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation and personal expenses. This breaks down to about $340.00 per month after tuition is pai~.

Dan Heismann, a Program Specialist for the Federal Bureau of Student Financial Assistance said each institution must establish their own budget guidelines based on the cost of attending their institution. He .said federal guidelines were only established for the disbursement of federal monies. ''Congress is presently having hearings to review the problem of the increasing costs of education," said ,Heismann. "They will probably institute a change by 1985." Currently, Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) provide a maximum of $1,800 per academic year, depending on a student's financial status .and the cost of attending the institution. · Heismann said this is ap-_ proximately half the cost of an education, and Congress will probably take it up to two-thirds or three-quarters. In the interim, students are feeling the pinch of inflation on their fixed incomes. ''Even living an austere existence I find it difficult to make continued on page 10

"Next step" taken to ... mend ASMSC rifts by Lou Chapman

I.

A "document of formal complaint" against the· Metropolitan State College student body president and his staff was filed Oct. 29 by the chairperson of the MSC student affairs committee. The complaint accuses the student government 's executive branch of constitutional violations, irresponsible behavior, and refusal to communicate with other staff members. It was written by Sandy Danaan and seems to be the culmination of ongoing conflicts within MSC student government. Named in the letter are ASMSC President Floyd Martinez, Vice-President Jocko Spencer, Chief of Staff Dan Mulqueen, and Neil Harlan. Although addressed to Gina John~ son, director of student activities, copies of the letter were also sent to Edward L. Schenck, dean of student services, and to Dr. Robert L. Thompson, vice-president of student affairs. The complaint lists at least twelve specific allegations, but no remedy or action: is requested of any of the three MSC administrators who received copies. Danaan said she had requested that Johnson, immediate supervisor of student government, help try to solve the procedural and personality problems within the student administration . Johnson asked Danaan to "write it down," and the Oct. 29 letter is the result.

"We were seeking a facilitator," Danaan said. "I think we had done as much as we could amongst ourselves.'' Danaan said she hopes the problems can still be solved internally without any constitutional action. Constitutional violations listed in the complaint are failure to submit a written report of student government activities during the summer semester, failure to fill vacant government positions, ·misappropriation from the Special Projects Account, -and failure to call Joint Committee meetings to "deal with the pressing business at hand." Complaints dealing with ''irresponsible behavior and refusal to communicate or cooperate' ' include spending "llery little time" in student government offices but spending· a " correspondingly large amount of time in the Mission (a student center restaurant) drinking beer and smoking marijuana." No specific instances are listed in the letter, however. Other complaints include problems with the development and implementation of office procedures, access to materials and equipment, and the status of Neil Harlan in student government (Harlan has been an employee of the Student Task Force on Institutional Development (STFID) and is chairperson of the Student Services Policy Council). Martinez said on Friday, Nov, 2, he had not yet received a copy of the complaints through formal channels, even though he had been requested by Gina Johnson on Wednesday, Oct. 31, to provide lists of appointments, financial records, and other records relevant to the topics in Danaan's letter. Martinez said he also spoke with Dean Schenck on Thur~day Nov. 1. "It's ludricrous," Martinez said of the letter. "They have continually harked for a chain of command, and yet they stepped outside of it and went to Gina Johnson." The "they" Martinez refers to seem to be Danaan · and "other members of ASMSC, as well as the STFID Director (Jo Veenker)," as Danaan writes in the introduction of her letter. The "chain of command" Martinez refers to is trying to settle the issues internally and informally; through staff meetings, or through the formal process of impeachment. Danaan said, "I think this is the next step, and not skipping a step. . . . Impeachment would be really jumping steps." Martinez said he would not respond to the accusations in Danaan's letter because they are outside proper procedure. He said they are not valid as actual charges agairist him or his staff. Martinez did agree, however, to answer questions from THE METROPOLJTAN concerning the letter. "I'd like to see some proof if they are going to try to charge us with anything . . . · I'd like to see them substantiate the charges. We're open to public hearings ... there are no 18 minutes of missing tape," Martinez said. "But right now,it ' s an internal problem that will be settled in the student government." Martinez said he feels the accusations are libelous. He said he told Schenck that regardless of any actions taken regarding the letter, he wants a written statement that the letter will not become a part of his student records. "If I don't get this in writing, I'll seek legal counsel," Martinez said.

. Westside residents have long complained about Auraria students parking in front of their homes; now it appears the parking problem has eased. Residents of Lipan and Mariposa Streets and the surrounding area have often found parking areas in front of their homes filled with student cars. Westside residents have been vocal about the problem, and have taken their case to the Auraria board. Their efforts have brought about enforcement of the two hour zone on several blocks, according to Mary Lucero, of 1330 Lipan Street. Lucero says the students' cars are being ticketed when they exceed the two hour limit. Now, she says, the students don't park there as often, and there are now empty spaces for the residents. Students still park in the area to escape parking fees. Metro student Charles Burrell says that he doesn't drive often, but when he does he parks on the Westside. He has been ticketed by Auraria. Public Safety in the Auraria parking lots, and finds the Westside cheaper and more convenient. · Community College of Denver

j

student Jimmy Romero says he drives probably only once a week. He parks offcampus, he says, because he can't afford to pay the parking rates in the Auraria 19ts. , ~ Several Auraria students say they park in the area for a few hours, and only a couple of times a week. CCD faculty member Carolyn Hapes parks on the Westside because she is opposed to paying the parking rates. "As an instructor, I don't want to · have to pay to teach," she said. · ·• The ·1400 block of Lipan is still a problem. It has no two hour zone. Ray Torres of 1439 Lipan was walking back from mass at St. Elizabeth's. He walks, he said, because "When I drive my car, and I come back, I can't find my parking place." He suggests the block be made a two hour zone. Or give the residents special permits to park. He is also concerned about the damage done to bushes and grass by people parked off the streets in the alleys. Westside residenls have suggested· the Auraria Board lower parking rates. A reduction seems unlikely since the lots already operate at a deficit. Getting- students to park in Auraria lots at lower rates, Lucero said, is better than them not parking at all.

There is a sanctions procedure at MSC for inappropriate behavior. Martinez took extreme exception to one particular phrase in the letter: the behavior of his staff has had an " extremely negative impact on the public image of Student Government and Metropolitan State College as a whole." "I think the executive this year has had an extremely positive rapport with the administration," Martinez said. "It's the first time in a long time they've asked us for support and input. "I'd like to know who it's had (a negative) impact on," he said. Martinez said the complaints were the result of personality conflicts and "sour grapes" ov~r election results last spring. He said many of the problems have been brewing and have been openly discussed all semester. " l won the election, I came out on top. I'm the person the students voted to make decisions and represent them. I'm also the one to take the flak when things

go wrong," Martinez said. "And this is inhibiting my administration from carrying out programs to represent the student body." One member of MSC student government said, "The problem is what,. caused the letter to be written . . . and what are we trying to accomplish." Dean Schenck said the administration is maintaining a hands-off policy on the letter and its implications. He said he received a copy "for information purposes only.'' "It is strictly a student operation.) Administration is no,t in on it," he said. "Anything to be done, if anything is to be done, will be determined by the constitution of the ASMSC. There is a process in student government." Schenck said he was "a little disappointed" that the issues in Danaan's let- ·· ter could not be settled within the offices of student government, between the members themselves.

The petitions must record the nanies of 25 CCD students along with their student numbers. Petitions must be returned by Nov. 19. The student government is new and ' all positions are vacant and open to any registered CCD student who can muster the 25 signatures and win the election. Openings include positions on the CCDA committees and tri-campus committees.. The students of CCD-A have had no ~ representation on any campus decisionmaking bodies since the former CCD student government was dissolved in spring, 1978. The executive branch includes the positions of chairman vice-chairman, and secretary-treasurer. These officers will be ~ elected from the membership of the student representative council. The council, in turn, is composed of representa. tives of other campus decision-making bodies. Open student government positions include:

plied to retain the individuality of each school could be positively channeled into the formation of a merged institution to the benefit of all. Moore's position immediately came under attack from all sides. Commissioner Elmer Chenault said that the Regents were already "overtaxed," and were not in a position to expand their operations. State Senator Hugh Fowler, an advisor to the CCHE, characterized the possible Regent take-over as ''another straw to break a back that's already broken." Fowler expressed his support for a merged institution under an independent board. Fowler also discouraged the CCHE from adopting any form of a combined Trustees-Regents governing board, saying both groups have constitutional mandates to support their respective institu- · tions. A combined board would be "a legislative thing . .. you couldn't run a business that way. Unless otherwise provided by law, you might be creating an unconstitutional conflict of interest," Fowler said. Commissioner A. Edgar Benton sides with those agains.t the Regents. "The Regents don't fit the challenge in the metro area," he said. Benton had no kind words for MSC, alleging that "things are handled at MSC the way they are in high school or a two year college. The state promised students a- quality four-year educational program. There

meetings to try to deal with many of the issues in the letter have only resulted in table-pounding and bad feelings. It is not known exactly what steps will be taken next or if any formal charges will be filed.

Editorial ''I don't want you at this concert'~ by S. Peter Duray-Bito Going to concerts is hardly what it used to be. Those innocent days of crashing concert gates and crowding the stage are hazy memories of another era. Today's concert-goer is subject to a search, corralled to a seat like cattle and is constantly scrutinized by elite corps of oversized men. Concert-goers today quietly endure this; as a member of the press, I cannot. Feeling privileged to be able to attend the Fleetwood Mac concert and KBPI costume party, I wished to report in depth on this annual event and to photograph it. A rather upsetting train of events has prevented me from doing either.

Admission to the Oct. 31 concert, was graciously arranged by Lynn Baker at Feyline Presents, Inc., the premier rock promoters of the Rocky Mountain area. I arrived at McNichols arena with the understanding that I could use a flash when photographing the costume party, but to only use "available-light" during the performance. I picked up my complimentary ticket at the will-call window and went through the turnstile. A~ I went through, a lady tore off my ticket stub and a large gentleman in a yellow KPBI T-shirt stopped me. After checking the pockets of my coat and quickly running his hands down the side of my body, he turned to my bag and in formed me that no cameras were allowed in the concert. I gave them the name of my Feyline contact, which,

Consolidation creates several new questions by William E. Rhodes, Ph.D.

I

Recentiy the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, as empowered by the 1978 General Assembly, ruled that the faculties of philosophy at UCO and MSC (a) be combined into a single department, (b) have a single chairman responsible to the administrations of both schools, (c) will continue to hold status in their originating schools, (d) offer a common major, (e) and organize the programs so to serve the student constituencies of both schools. In summary, my responses are: 1. This is a workable temporary arrangement better than the original proposal that the faculty and program of MSC be transferred to UCO beginning Spring Semester, 1980. In a poll of current MSC philosophy students, less than 10 perc(,!nt indicated interest in looking at a UCO catalog or announcement of courses. This indication of a clear "MSC academic system flow" _ means that had the transfer occurred on schedule, about 500-550 MSC students at Auraria would not have taken courses in philosophy next semester. It also required for s4ch common programs to succeed. Personally, l am willing to try to make our proposed combined program and department succeed. 2. Down the road this arrangement may be fated to failure when it comes to replacement or enlargement of faculty and development of new programs. A department belongjng to both institutions likely belongs to

neither when a "crunch" comes. 3. If, after eighteen months of good faith effort, the arrangement does not work, then I likely would support merging of the Auraria .educational institutions, especially UCO and MSC - with AHEC eliminated. 4. MSC, as part of its implementation of its role and mission, needs to examine the values of expanding a program (philosophy) it almost lost. Such expansion likely would highlight developing service/ support courses for other departments in MSC and emerging needs over the whole metropolitan community. This would parallel the programs defined by majors and minors in philosophy. 5. A vigorous effort to expand and rework studies in the humanities, especially philosophy, at both UCO and MSC seems in order, particularly at my "home" institution, MSC. The times demand such. Maybe the various departments at MSC will desire such - for their good as well as for all students at MSC. 6. I should like to see MSC succeed in realizing its "dream" as an open-door, multi-purpose, innovating, people-serving, baccalaureate level, metropolitan institution. To do this we need to work for overall MSC growth and effectiveness as well as for each of its departments.

An expanded statement of the above is available at the office of the MSC Department of Philosophy, WC 161, Box49, 629-3097.

Letters Dear Editor and Auraria students, Well friends and neighbors, that little black cloud with the Hefty Bag lining has wandered down from Capitol Hill again to try and rain on Auraria's parade. Senator Hugh Fouler (sic), in his latest fit of elitism has decided that taxpayers over 25 don't have any right to the very institutions that they pay so dearly for every April 15th. The Senator from suburbia is hell-bent on limiting education to the children of the rich who have nothing better to do than go to school and major in advanced toga and how to look down their noses at the rest of us, whom the Senator considers the great unwashed. The greatest threat to the insecure on the top is education, especially an e_ducated elector who has the ability to think in terms other than those dictated by the "better sort" in our society. The over 25 ban is not only absurd, it's unconstitutional, since everyone regardless or race, sex or age is guaranteed equal access to public tax support institutions. I submit that this latest bit of tripe is nothing more than another legislative tantrum because the Senator can't have his own way on Auraria. If he intends to place age limits on citizenship, I suggest he start with eliminating some of the fossils in our courts and legislatures, setting the retirement age at the year below his

own age. At any rate l beg the Senator to wallow in Maslow's basement quietly and leave the rest of us in peace! Tom Lyons Auraria citizen Dear Editor: There is no question that much of Learning for Living's success has been accomplished because of support from the media. May I express my personal thanks for you for your contribution as I move from Learning for Living to a new position; Director of Public Relations, Metropolitan State College. I am delighted to announce that Jan Walker has taken my place in Marketing and Development for Off Campus Programs, Metropolitan State College. She will be working with you on · news and features for both Learning for Living and the Extended Campus Credit Program . I am excited about telling the Metropolitan State College story and am looking forward to our continuing cordial relations. Susan Blish Director, Public Relations Metropolitan State College

as I suspected meant nothing to them, and they called for a Tom Smith over the radio. After a short while, Tom Smith arrived in the uniform of the night: a yellow KPBI T-shirt. I explained my situation to him. "I don't care about Feyline. There are no cameras allowed in here," he stated, motioning me back out the door. The man was a good deal larger than I was, so I thought it best not to argue. I returned to my car and, not without some trepidation, left my camera gear there. I returned to the same turnstile, showed them by torn ticket stub and told the lady I was back without my camera. She looked at me suspiciously and called for Tom Smith again. He came out a side door. . " No one is allowed in with a torn ticket stub ," he barked. I was flabbergasted. . " I was just here a few minutes ago," I stammered. ''I had already gone through the turnstile when you told me I couldn't get in without a camera. I just got rid of it." I made a motion to go through. " Look," he spat, physically restraining me. " I already told you you're not going in. I don't·want you at this concert. You have no business being here.'' I looked past him, counted four large gentlemen in yellow KBPI T-shirts a nd three Denver police officers and realized I wouldn't get in. I turned around and left. Looking back, l understand that, like the Gestapo, the man was just doing his job. And, like most vast bureaucracies, Feyline has internal comm unications problems. But when I put all of that together with.the repressive crowd-control security practicec,l at concerts today, I wonder how far away 1984 really is. And they wonder why the music industry is sagging.

Rolling Stone rolls out redundant rip-off by Emerson Schwartzkopf

-=:J

Q: What's the difference between Rol1ing Stone and College Papers? A: Not much.

.J

'

.....

"

'-

At the end of last spring - no, maybe farther into the summer - notices began appearing, imploring readers to "watch for College Papers." Apparently, college readers throughout the United States were to receive their own specialty magazine, put out by the folks at Rolling Stone. The wait is over. College Papers is now at your local newsstand. One more important point. Don't buy it. College Papers is one of the most shameless exploitations of college students since the rumor of being able to get a job after graduation. Instead of a college magazine, College Papers lies som~where in between a rehashed Rolling Stone and . .. well, an undirected good intention. The best place to focus in on College Papers is in ·its premjer editorial. Suspicions are first aroused by the editorial's author - Kate Wenner, College Papers' managing editor. Please bear in mind the editor and publisher of College Papers - and Rolling Stone - is Jann Wenner. Whether there is some nepotism here or not is unclear, since most people wouldn't know a Wenner if they saw one. Nevertheless, the copy within the editorial is College Papers' damning indictment. Kate Wenner, in the editorial, writes .that college students receive national attention to "see what the kids are up to;" during a school-to-school trek, The College Papers staff ("made up primarily of students and recent graduates") found "people wanted information presented in a way that left them free to form their own opinions," and "they wanted irreverent stories that would make them laugh, as well as serious articles that would make them

think." Kate Wenner's editorial also states College Papers will be a full-service mlJgazine for the 10 million college students "who, up until now, have had no national magazine of their own'' - and, College Papers would be a forum for students to publish their own work.' The editorial states some fine, respectable ideas. But; as with Charles Foster Kane's "Declaration of Principles" in Citizen Kane, some things are better-left unsaid. . The first point is respectable. The national media, for the most part, tends to ignore college students. Although college students are part of the national audience, there are serious college related issues constantly overlooked in the media's search for more Animal House-type capers. The second point, dealing with the student canvassing by the College Papers staff, is more crucial. Does College Papers give the American college students what they want? Yes - as the College Papers staff sees fit. · For instance, in the desire for information "provided in a way that left them (students) free to form their own opinions:" information is presented ... sort of. College Papers takes on nuclear energy, testing, tuition, drinking ages, the possible return of selective service. The selective ~ervice piece does contrast both pro and anti-draft opinions, although the end of the article lists four organizations, all anti-draft, for more "information." . The testing, drinking age, and tuition articles are interesting informational pieces. The nuclear energy section, however, gives students information to · let them freely form their own . opinions - as long as they're antinuclear. Over a three page spread, College Papers details the location of U.S.

nuclear power plants, profiles an antinuclear spokesperson and anti-nuclear groups, and features a story on antinuclear musicians (Musicians United for Safe Energy .- MUSE) replete with a shot of Jackson Browne, John Hall, and Graham Nash all looking mad and concerned (photo cutline: "Angry musicians launch anti-nuclear fight"). Nowhere in this spread on nuclear energy ("nukes" sounds like another college fraternity) is there anything pronuclear power, or an utterance by a pronuclear (or impartial) spokesperson. Such a display of editorial railroading in the "news" section challenges the magazine's credibility - and begins the decline and fall of College Papers. As for the "irreverent stories" and "serious articles" - once again, a fine point, but aren't these types of stories the actual body of Rolling Stone itself? And, aren't the readers of Rolling Stone, for a large patt, college age or college students? To that end, many of the stories - a Gilda Radner profile, a William Burroughs interview, women in college sports look like Rolling Stone material. For some of the other articles - new science fiction stories and a tastetest of various beers - let's hear it for breaking those old stereotypes of college students. · Kate Wenner's third point is erroneous. Nutshell is a magazine for college students - distributed free, as opposed to College Papers' $1.50 - and available in most college bookstores. Although Nutshell is usually underwritten by some corporate cluster such as Datsun or Toyota, the articles appeal to students with many of the articles written by stu-

7

dents or recent graduates. As to College Papers being a forum for college students to publish their work - and the magazine's utilizatibn of its young staff - consider the following: • The Gilda Radner profile is written by Cynthia Heimel, a writer and editor at the Soho Weekly News in New York. • A Bruce Springsteen piece is by Dave Marsh, a contributing editor of Rolling Stone. Marsh, incidentally, recently published a Bruce Springsteen biography - actually, in September. Very coincidental. ' • The beer article is written by Jamie James, a New York free-lance writer. A previous James piece, "Houston After Dark," appeared in - surprise Rolling Stone No. 292; from that article, the writer's age could be appr'oximated to be a little closer to 30 than to the age of most college students. . And, the photographs of Gilda Radner are by Richard Avedon. Avedon may be one of the world's greatest photographers, but he's not a student. The first student entries in College Papers appear over halfway through the magazine, with a first person ''reflections" piece by an Amherst College student; a curious photography contest; and some too-short excerpts from excellent college newspaper articles. Nearly three-quarters of the way through College Papers, the staff finally surfaces with its own writing. Many members of that staff - all of them, actually - have small biographies with their articles listing their East Coast college. College Papers might improve with time; in its present state, College Papers does little more than jump on the bandcontinued on page 9

Music Tull,_The Who, not up to par the height of leader Ian Anderson's creative genius. Since then, Jethro Tull survived but never equaled the artistic and popular success of that period. Stormwatch reflects recent Tull: a certain laziness in Anderson's compositions. He overuses essentially boring thematic structure and fills in the spaces with musical events. The execution has a mechanical texture and is often overorchestrated. The raw energy that marked their peak earlier in the decade is lost in the overdub and special effects sounds. What has returned, though on a limited scale, is Anderson's remotely cynical view of contemporary events. This, in itself, is certainly not unusual for . rock music, but Anderson has an uncanny ability to pierce through the haze. In "Dark Ages" and "North Sea Oil," he speaks of the corporate/ propaganda facade that controls our society. "North Sea Oil" is a particularly harsh satire on our oil-scarce society:

Sea Oil," thematic references to the sea tie in well with the album's title. "Warm Sporran" is a musically redeeming instrumental that shows Anderson can still come up with riveting compositions. It is a short Scottish ·highlands . tune, complete with a touch of bagpipes, and refers to a sporran - a pouch of skin worn in front of the kilt (phallic imagery?) "Dun Ringill" also shows moments of inspiration. with its richly textured acoustic guitar theme. Generally, though, the album suffers from being over-produced. Bridges are filled with cliched special effects synthesizers that are either too spacey (''Dart Ages") or too syrupy ("Home"). Martin Barre's excellent guitar is too often lost behind the mass orchestration and he is never really given the opportunity to shine. The recording has a limited dynamic range and individual instrumen-· ts don't stand up well under the overdubs. Finally, one really wonders what happened to the raw electricity and immediacy that once characterized Jethro Tull. Maybe Anderson has fallen victim to the musical vacuum of the Disco Age.

"Flying Dutchman" and "Something's On The Move" approach the spoils of modern society from a different stance. A sense of spiritual reckoning is in store for ''lovers of the good life" in Anderson's rework of the Flying Dutchman tale. Together with ''North

to individual hits like those in Who's Next. It seems now that· Pete Townshend has tried to revitalize the Quadrophenia project by turning it into a film and re-releasing the music as a soundtrack album. The first disc of this double album contains selected cuts from the original material, though remixed and with some orchestration added . . On the second disc are some Who numbers that didn't make it on the earlier release as well as a whole side devoted to music contemporary to the "Mod" world. The album cov~r provides us with two definitions of "quadrophenia." The first is a dictionary outtake describing a personality split into four separate facets and· the second is a quote by Peter Meaden: " ... an aphorism for clean living under difficult circumstances." Neither of these definitions explain the fragile life of Jimmy, caught in the rough and innocent "Mod" world and in the prime of his confused adolescence. Not having seen the film, I can't comment on the siructure of the storyline except to say the original continuity is completely lost on the soundtrack. The 1973 release combined a 44-page black and white photo insert with a brilliant plot continuity that demanded playing all four sides in one sitting. Key transitional pieces have been removed from the soundtrack and the overall effect is that of a sadly decimated "listener's digest." The remix and added orchestration does little to the sonics of this album. A flute intro to "Doctor Jimmy" is strangely out of place and the acoustic orchestration doesn't come off as well as Townshend's original synthesized efforts. The recording is lacking in presence, perhaps due to tape deterioration after six years. The last side. contains a wonderful collection of "periOd" pieces such as "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen, "Rhythm of the Rain" by The Cascades and "DaDoo Ron Ron" by The Crystals. Expanding this concept over another side would have been a much more rewarding single album effort. The new edition contains color stills from the movie, ' some with Townshend or Daltrey standing next to the Jimmy character, that smack of commercialism and exploitation. That The Who felt they had to rework the earlier masterpiece to "pump it over the airwaves" is evidence that the band is spreading themselves too thin. ·

silhouette on for size," says the Orion press kit. Even ten years ago that would have been disgusting. Despite the hype, the plot only indirectly concerns the efforts of George Webber (Dudley Moore), a Hollywood composer, to possess a young woman of extraordinary physical beauty. The real theme is that of 'male menopause,' and. the effects of such on Webber. Dudley Moore is terrific in the role of Webber, a middle-aged romantic with a fixation on young women. You may.remember Moore from Foul Play, where he played the part of a middle-aged orchestra conductor with a fixation on young women. If this is typecasting, all actors should be so lucky. George's obsession leads him through an incredible sequence of hazards, from falling off a cliff while ogling a neighbor's orgy to trying to drink a hot cup of coffee after an injection of novocaine has numbed his- mouth. The situations are predictable, but Moore's· execution is so incredible that you find yourself laughing despite the telegraphing. Julie Andrews steps out of her virginal role for this film and she, too, was impressive. Her last film was over _ four years ago, but it was worth the wait. As "Sam,'' a successful singer, she does not sit at home waiting for George to finish sowing his oats. Her aggressive style is much 11,1ore in tune with today's world than the ' asinine ads would indicate. Bo Derek is a.pretty face on an outrageous body. No more, no less. Her acting ability would fit in a very small thim-

ble. ·Nevertheless, she does provide a suitable vehicle for the representation of ultimate physical desirability. Where Derek falters, Moore is exceedingly successful. Squeezing every laugh from the script, we soon learn to care for George, to believe in him as a human being and not just a projection on the screen. This is the stuff great movies are made of, and 10 comes very close. I give it·an 8 Yi .

Saturday's game was the deciding game of the tourney anti the Most Valuable Player award was won by Metro goalie Marcus Motte who also was credited with the shutout, his fourth of the year. Motte staved off 13 shots on goal including a difficult block: of a penalty try from 20 meters out. Metro's initial score came in the 35th minute after the Roadtunners were awarded a penalty kick when midfielder Tim Ipson was tripped by a DU defender after bringing the ball upfield through several Pioneers.

sample." "If a person is on financial aid, we're forcing them to live on that budget,'' said Tyler. "The results we got were almost identical to our budgets. We did not get a cross-reference of the Auraria campus." Tyler said the sun1ey was not used to determine the budget. He said they use national surveys done by the ACT (American College Testing) that are adjusted upward for the Denver area. Tyler said MSC's budget was "adequate", providing a "low to moderate" standard of living. He said the survey planned for next . year would be more representative of the ~­ Auraria populace, and would help their office determine if the budget is set too low. ·

Attention "No need" work-study students · THE METROPOLITAN is conducting a survey of "no need" work-study ' students. We would like 5 minutes of your time in order to complete the survey. Please call 629-2507, 629-8361 or come to room 156 of the Student Center. Ask for the editor. '
