·Term·paper mills ·are declining I

by Karen Br:Slin The once booming term paper mill industry is suffering from the national decline in higher education enrollments; but the term paper-by-mail trade is still profiting due to the large foreign student population in the United States, one term paper service operator said. ''There are between 300-400

foreign students we write every paper for," Phil Posin, of Research Assistants of Los Angeles, said. " ... 75 % of our clientele are-foreign students." The term paper business is illegal in nearly every state, he said. The companies work mostly on a mail order basis by sending out catalogues containing around 10,000 research paper titles. A

News l 980 metro Census is counting on Auraria

I

by Joan Conrow

J

A unique two unit course combining classroom instruction and a part-time job will be offered by the Urban Studies Department during the spring semester. URS 490, Census Data Seminar, is the result of a cooperative effort between Metropolitan State College and the United States Bureau of the Census. Students enrolled in the course will receive academic credit and extra income by working as enumerators in the upcoming 1980 census.

"Students can earn $4.50 an hour and three credit - hours as ce,nsus takers. '' "Middle-class white housewives traditionally took the census," said Dr. ~ Robert Czerniak, who will be teaching the course. "The housewife has now become a part of the labor force, which is where the student comes in." Czerniak said 4 to 5 percent of the nation's population was not contacted in the 1970 census. Most of these were low income, elderly and minority groups, • many of whom live in urban areas that white housewives might not feel comfortable enumerating. "An estimated 12 percent of Denver's Chicano population was missed in the last census," said Czerniak. "Census data is used to determine revenue sharing ... ~ to cities and federal funding of programs like CETA. That undercount resulted in the city of Denver losing millions of dollars." "The 1980 census is extremely important to Colorado," Czerniak said. "We'll get another representative (Congressman), and the (census) data will determine which part of the state gets himY Czerniak said the Bureau is aiming to do a better job in the 1980 census, and recognizes the importance of hiring people from within the community to act as enumerators. • "1980 is their (the U.S. Census Bureau's) year to shine," said Czerniak. "We got in on it a little early at Metro, and that's an advantage for the students." This advantage comes in the form of the Experimental Student Intern ·.- Program, developed by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with academic institutions. The Bureau provides temporary jobs while the college provides classroom instruction (URS 490) about the type of data collected, census procedures and the use of census data in the public and private sectors. "Metro has been identified as one out of forty-four (colleges across the country) participating in this program," said Czerniak. Upon completion of URS 490, about forty students will be hired by the Bureau r., of the Census as enumerators. Following a brief training period, they will work twenty hours weekly from mid April until the end of May. Those completing the in- ternship successfully may be eligible for additional summer work. "Pay is $4.50 an hour average," said Czerniak. "Also, they (students) can earn up to three credit hours (upper division) in Urban Studies, Chicano Studies or Afro-American Studies by working as census takers."

While the part-time employment is a concrete benefit of the course Czerniak said the class has a lot to offer to students in all areas of the college, even those students who do not need or want outside employment with the Bureau of the Census. ' "There's a tremendous amount of information generated by the census," said Czerniak. "Census data is important, and students should learn how to use it properly." Czerniak said the course will help people know what information is available, and how to get it. Confiden.: tiality and appropriate use of the census will also be covered, as well as using the best information in a research topic. "People aren't aware of how much the U.S. Census Bureau does," Czerniak said. "They're one government agency that pumps out stuff that's used by everybody." Census Data Seminar was ·offered during summer school, the first time credit was ever given in that subject in a United States or Canadian college. Czerniak said schools world-wide asked for information about the course. For more information about Census Data Seminar, contact Bob Czerniak in the Urban Studies Department, or the office of Cooperative Education at MSC.

tlews Age of the universe still 'uncertain' · by S. Peter Duray-Bito The age of the universe is not a subject of every day concern to most of us. There are a few dedicated people, though, who consider the age of the universe as another mystery for humans to solve. As an astro-researcher, Dr. William A. Fowler has been looking for answers for 43 years. A cherubic man, with a white beard and bald head, Dr. Fowler has been with the California Institute of Technology for those 43 years. He was in Denver Nov. 16 presenting "The Age of the Universe, the Galaxy and the Chemical Elements" to a physics department colloqium in UCD's Tower Building. There has been some controversy over the age of the universe. As recently as Nov. 14, scientists at Harvard and in Arizona claim ..previous estimates were wrong because of cer~ain oversights in calculation. They claim Hubble's Constant, the figure used to calculate the age of the most distant galaxies, is twice as great as once thought. According to contemporary astrophysics theory, the galaxies are expanding from a primordial 'big-bang' or explosion. By measuring the distance to the galaxies and their rate of expansion, Hubble's Constant leads astronomers back in time to when the big-bang took place. Hubble's Constant was long held to be 50 kilometers per second per million parsecs (a parsec is 3.26 light years) and this placed the age of the universe at

around 15 to 18 billion years old. tain amount of time to produce what are With the new constant, the universe known as the heavier elements. The lightis believed to be only 9 billion years old. est element, hydrogen, is what stars burn Dr. Fowler was not here to advocate as fuel. Through nuclear fusion they or refute the scientists' claim. create newer, heavier elements. By "There are many uncertainties in looking at the radioactive elements measuring the distance to those distant galaxies,'' Dr. Fowler said. "One has to include our own motion through the universe and our observations are constantly being upgraded by finer instruments. I have tackled the problem from a different angle and believe my observation to be free of those kinds of uncertainties." by Jean Downing, R.N. Dr. Fowler uses nuclear physics in arriving at his answer.

How does Dr. Fowler compare this with the new figure claimed by the scientists at Harvard and Arizona? "There are many mavericks in this field and I am usually skeptical," he ob- ' served. "At the same time, it is the mavericks who come up with revolutionary work. I have not seen their paper so I really can't comment, but I believe my calculations and approach to be surer in terms of reducing the variables.'' The work of Dr. Fowler, and many ;. others around the world, is not only confined to the question of the age of the universe. But it is that question that intrigues them the most for it brings humans closer to a scientific answer to the prime question: How did we all get here? .

At its Nov. 12 meeting the Auraria Board of Directors approved revised parking and traffic rules and regulations for the campus. These will be put in effeet Dec. 1, 1979. Parking Director Ben Walton said the rules and regulations, formulated with help from faculty, staff ansl students through the recently organized Auraria Parking Advisory Council, reflect important changes in the management and operation of the parking system on campus. A brochure containing the regulations will be available for distribution in early December. Major changes made in. the revised rules include: prohibiting parking except in areas, lots and on streets specifically allowed for parking; specifying procedures for the imposition of institutional sanctions upon 11tudents, staff and faculty members who fail to pay three or more outstanding parking tickets after reasonable notice has been provided; and outlining the criteria for towing and impounding a vehicle at the owner's expense for parking violations. Also included is a list of ·new, higher penalties for parking violations to discourage those violations and meet higher operating costs as well as new fees for 1980 parking permits, Walton said. Walton said the new parking and traffic regulations are designed to meet the different needs of a diverse campus population through a broad selection of parking options. He said the regulations explain why people must pay to park on the campus and set forth provisions for the safety and security of people and property, the reduction of parking violations, and the satisfaction of the parking system's financial requirements.

Women administrators to meet on campus A conference with the purpose of identifying and grouping together women administrators from private and public institutions in Colorado is scheduled for Dec. 7-8.

Snow brings Denver to its knees by Sal Ruibal The record snows that blanketed Denver last week provided us with ample evidence that this city is hopelessly dependent on the automobile as a form of transportation. Now, l didn't need to tell you that. Anyone who has lived here longer than two days knows that the only alternative to wheeling about in a car is sentencing yourself to an indeterminite wait at an RTD bus stop. Add a few feet of snow to that situation and you've got a scene slightly less chaotic than the asylum at Charenton. And a lot less fun, I'm sure. For two days, the downtown area of our city was a deserted island, set off from the rest of the world by icy

viaducts and impassable interstate highways. The loss in business revenue was enormous, but not as large as the amounts paid to employees for staying home. For many workers, their time loss went uncompensated. Students, while obviously enjoying the two days of extra vacation, were denied access to an education which they already paid for. There are many reasons why Denver does not have a viable mass transit system. RTD is finally working on getting a light-rail system ... twenty years too late. The bureaucrats in Washington have denied previous grants for a rail system because they felt the metro area lacked sufficient population density. The irony of this situation is that growth has continued to sprawl as a direct result of auto-mania.

Last year we had the dubious distinction of setting a record for air pollution alerts in the dangerous category. Although experts cite many reasons for the Brown Cloud, a rough consensus would agree that the combination of auto emissions and finely ground sand contribute heavily to the mess.

That sand is spread from government trucks trying desperately to make our roads navigable for automobiles. If a dangerous Brown Cloud, lousy bus service and heavy snows cart 't convince our leaders that a rail system is necessary for life in Denver to continue, nothing will.

Letters Skiers vs. Snowmobiles Dear Editor: Rocky Mountain National Park is proposing not plowing the ten miles of road from the west (Grand Lake) entrance to the Timber Lake trailhead. Five trailheads will not be accessible to ski tours/snowshoers unless they use the road with snowmobiles! The road will be groomed and patrolled for snowmobiling - negating any fuel/cost saved by not plowing. The alternative ski trails proposed by the Park will all be near or congruent with the snowmobile roadway. Please write this week to: Superintendent Rocky Mountain National Parks Estes Park, Colorado 80511 Let your voice be heard! Thank you, Tourers United Box 727 Grand Lake, Colo. 80447

Walton states goals Hi! Metro Students, I am Agnes, Jackie, (everyone calls me Jackie and doesn't know who Agnes is), Walton. I have been going to Metro since January 1976. My major is in Human Servicesr l also have another major in Psychology. My grade point average is 3.65. I have been active within the membership of Student Organization of Human Services since I started with Metro at the old campus. I am now Vice-president of the afore mentioned organization. The reason I am now running for Student Affairs Committee is I feel a commitment to the college. I feel I need to use some of my energy to help the students who are just beginning at Metro, so they can have as good or better college experience than I have had. I an not a young student, like most of us at Metro aren't. I have grown children and a granddaughter. I have owned my own business and have managed other peoples'. l come to you, the student body, as a person of experience. My goals are: • I want to see and hear better communications between the student government and the student body of Metro. I also feel that maybe a little better communications between the faculty, the staff, and the students of Metro, would be in order. (At the Leadership Conference this fall we were, students and faculty, brainstorming and came up with some very encouraging and spontaneous ideas for communications.) I also would like to encourage anyone who is interested or has any ideas to share them with me. • The Student Activity fees have been a very big issue since we moved to the new campus. I would like to see a budget made visable to the students in general. The Student Government has access and the ability to vote which way the money is spent. I feel I am one of many of the students who feel a need to ensure control of how this money is spent.

These are my major goals. I can think of many, many other goals that are within reach. l also hope each one of you, as students, have a goal or several that might be shared with me. As we go through out everyday lives on campus, l would like to think that a thought about Student Government will pass through your mind. I hope that when.elections come on December 4-5-6, that you will vote for me, Agnes "Jackie" Walton, and back the energy I will be placing at the student bodys' disposal. . Thank you! Please pass on any information you have about me, talk to the person sitting next to you in class and ask if they have read this article and if not, ask them to get it and read it or tell them about it. (Remember this might be a good way to talk to that person you always wanted to talk to but didn't know what to say.) Thank you again. PLEASE VOTE FOR ME IN THE ELECTION.

Government; the creation of a position within Student Government of Student Advocate; continuing to work against merger/consolidation; re-writing the ASMSC Constitution; and the inclusion of a representative from the Inter-Club-Council as an ex-officio member of the Joint Committee. I ask that you vote for me in the coming Student Government elections, Dec. 4, 5 and 6, so that I may continue to serve you. Vote for Sandy Danaan, Larry Plume and Jackie Walton for the Student Affairs Committee. Working Together for a Better Student Government. Thank you, Sandy Danaan

SAC accomplishments I am an Anthropology major and a contract major in Women's Studies. I have been a student at Metropolitan State College, on and off, for about nine years and a full time student for the past three years. I am a senior and expect to finish my second major at the end of fall semester 1980. This last year which I have spent as a member of Student Government has been an unparalleled learning experience for me. Working with other members of Student Government I have accomplished many of the goals which I set when I first ran for the Student Affairs Committee, but as my knowledge about the functions of the S.A.C. and about the potential of Student Government as a whole have grown over the past year, so the work that I see which needs to be done has correspondingly grown. In the last year the S.A.C. succeeded in: Insuring that the MSC parents who use the Auraria Child Care Center will continue to receive a financial subsidy; obtaining control and responsibility for the portion of student fees that is allocated for club travel and club support; developing a procedure whereby all clubs have fair and equal access to these monies; and allocating $3000 for club use, available through the Student Activities Office. In addition, the S.A.C. is in the final phase of developing a comprehensive and rigorous set of by-laws which will enable the Committee to function in a more orderly and effective manner. We are also investigating ways in which students can gain control bf the rest of their student fees. Two of my personal goals, which I am pleased to say, have become realities are the revival of the InterClub-Council and a very successful MSC Leadership Conference held this fall which raised about $200 for Student Government. Some of my goals for the upcoming year are: More student input to the various governing bodies at Auraria; student control of our student fee money; better communication between the student body and Student Government; a more responsive and effective Student

Hurricane hunts for.witnesses by Sal Ruibal

It was a typical Denver summer afternoon; blue skies under a blazing sun. David Espinoza, Jr. was riding his motorcycle eastbound on W. Colfax Avenue near the Auraria Higher Education Center. As he entered the intersection at Kal~math Street, he was struck by a late-model Cadillac that was making a left turn against the traffic. The impact hurled Espinoza through the air; his body crashed into the gutter on the · corner near the District Attorney's Office. This accident occurred between 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Monday, July 30, 1979. Espinoza died shortly after the accident, leaving a wife and four-year-old child. Because of irregularities in completing the accident report, insurance benefits for Espinoza's survivors have been held up. That's where "Al" Hurri-

cane enters the story . . "Al" Hurricane is a notorious Den. ver private investigator famed for being a thorn in the side of The Establishment. Hurricane prefers to concentrate on community action projects these days, but he made an exception in the Espinoza case because he was concerned about the family. Although the police investigated the accident, several witnesses were not interviewed. Their statements are essential to the settlement of the case. According to Hurricane, there were two groups of witnesses that were not contacted by police. The first group has been described by those at the site as six or seven students near the bus stop on the north side of W. Colfax Avenue. Several of the students were believed to be "Orientals." After the accident, a few of the students crossed the intersection to check on · -

Alferd .Packer: ·man aJ 8

by Frank Mullen

Alferd Packer bas a diabolical reputation in Colorado, but a Denverit~ who wrote a book and a screenplay on Packer's life said the alleged man-eater was simply "a loser" who led a band of misfits to their deaths in the Colorado Rockies. "He (Packer) was not really an evil person," said Burton Raffel, a Denver University professor and author. "He was not homicidal, but he was a strange man . . . (In· my research) I was enormously impressed by him." Raffel studied newspaper accounts, journals and personal correspondence of the period. (1850-1920) while writing the original story for the recent movie The Legend ofAlfred Packer. Packer, the only survivor of a sixman prospecting party trapped in the blizzard of 1874, was later convicted of killing and eating his partners. The case was the first cannibalism conviction in the United States. Raffel became intrigued by the Packer enigma and after he co-authored the screenplay he wrote a book on Pack-

er's life. The work will soon be published by Bantam Books. After all his research, Raffel said, he is still unsure about what really happened in the blizzard 105 years ago. · "We really don't know what the truth is," he said. "You see there was only one survivor and that was Alferd Packer. He told a lot of versions of the story. Perhaps one of them is true ... To say the least, he was an interested party in the case." Packer. is locally famous for bis alleged unbridled appetite. The cafeteria at the University of Colorado in Boulder is named for him and James A. Michener, in his novel Centennial, repeated the famous story of Judge M.B. Gerry, a Democrat.

''There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale County, but you ate five of them!" "There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale County, but you ate five of them!" the judge allegedly said at Pack-

Packer s an , was a "motley crew." · "They believed the stories about the quick riches and they got taken," he said. " ... It's an example of what happens to the little guys who act on impulse anti. don't get away with it." Packer was not physically a "little guy." He was over six feet tall and, according to Raffel, Packer had "bursts of almost demonic strength" and may have been an epileptic. Some accounts of the man-eater depict him as an early version of Charles Manson, who was convicted of the TateLa Bianca murders in California, but Raffel said Packer was not a "murderer for the fun of it;" if in fact be was a murderer at all.

''If he was guilty it was not a premeditated

crime... riot the type you would have to worry about him repeating. ''

~tl myth er''S sentencing. "I sentence you to hang by the neck until dead, as a warning against reducing the Democratic population of the state."

"It's an example of the little guys who act on impulse and don 't get away with it. '' • · The story of Judge Gerry is fiction, Raffel said, as is much of the popularized Packer legend. However, he said, if "Gerry didn't say it he should have," and the line is included in the movie. "There are a lot of conflicting reports (about Packer)," he said. "There ~e some wildly inaccurate accounts around.'' · Packer was a loser, Raffel said, who bit off more than he could chew. He claimed to have a working knowledge of the mountain area and five men believed him. Their faith in their inept guide and ...their lust for gold cost them their lives. "They (Packer's party) were foolhardy," he said. "They wanted to get up in the high country fast· and beat the others to Breckenridge."

"If he was guilty, it was not a premediated crime," he said. "It was not .the type of crime you would have to worry about him repeating." Although sentenced to death in his first trial, Packer was later retried and sentenced to life in prison. In 1900, Denver Post reporter Polly Pry began a crusade to "free the maneater ." The campaign bad the blessing of Bonfils and Tammen, the Post's owners. During the "Free Packer" crusade, Bonfils and Tammen were shot and wounded by Packer's attorney. Packer was later released on parole. "Packer was in his 50s when he was set free," Raffel said. "He lived in obscurity afterwards . . . He went into the chicken business in Littleton." As far as he knows, Raffel said, Packer never ran afoul of the law again. Even during his stay in the penitentiary, he said, Packer was a quiet prisoner who spent his time making bridles. It seems the madness that drove Packer during the 1874 storm was left in the mountains with the bodies of his companions. Raffel said in his original story he "was as a,ccurate as possible" in depicting Packer. Later, he and another writer, Chuck Meyers, wrote the screenplay, and some of the historical accuracy was traded for cinematic fiction. ''Some things had to·be changed for plot reasons," he said. "And other aspects of the story were changed on location during production ... After all, we were shooting for an entertaining movie, not a documentary.'' The movie opened in November and received mixed reviews in the Denver area. It is a low-budget (under $1 million) production and was shot locally, with some scenes filmed in the Fairplay area and two other scenes shot in Larimer Square. In movie circles the film has been dubbed the "weekend production" since many of the actors hold full-time jobs in non-acting occupations. Raffel said the movie was "professionally done,'' however, and the public will make the final decision of its worth. "We didn't exploit violence, or the horror of cannibalism,'' he said. "It's an honest movie. The people don't walk away with a sour feeling in their stomachs. "I think people will get the message of the Packer story," Raffel said. "That the frontier was not at all glamorous and for every prospector who made it big there were hundreds who wound up like Packer and his partners ... They are the little guys who never made it. There was no room for failure in the frontier.''

Stevie :W onder's green thumb by S. Peter Duray-Bito

A TASTE FOR PASSION Jean-Luc Ponty . Jean-Luc Ponty - violin, organ, electric & •grand piano; Allan Zavod - keyboards; Joaquin Lievano - electric & acoustic guitars; Jamie Glaser - electric guitar; Ralphe Armstrong - electric fretless bass; Casey Scheuerell - drums, percussion. Atlantic SD 19253

except for their development. Neither are any of the compositions particularly outstanding. They follow the conventional norms of fusion, with off-beat rhythms, quick, strutting bass and lots of drums. "Sunset Drive" contains an excellent Armstrong bass solo, but even his distinctive sound has fallen under the influence of Jaco Pastorius' dense arpeggio style. "Dreamy Eyes" has a progression that is straight out of "Peg" by Steely Dan. Generally, though, the album is wellexecuted and pleasant to listen to. Unlike others, Ponty bas managed to tone down fusion without turning it into jazz muzak. Ponty maintains his credibility by using odd time signatures, solo-based development and a sense of mysticism and introspection that has been key to fusion since its inception by McLaughlin. But one wonders how much more can be done with the genre.

*** V2

~

The electric violin hasn't been the same since Jean-Luc Ponty arrived on the scene. Playing the European club circuit in the late '60s aµd early '?Os, Ponty attained a new level of musicianship with the violin as a jazz solo instrument. He developed along the same lines as John 1 ""McLaughin in creating a piercing, captivating technique that earned him a place with Frank Zappa during his orchestration years. After playing,. with Zappa, he toured with John McLaughlin and cut a number of albums with him. Ponty has been a solo artist since about 1975 with a number of excellent recordings to his credit. He uses competent "unknowns" as sidemen and is heavily into the fusion sound. A Taste For Passion is his most tranquil album to date, yet still contains some riveting, quick-tempo numbers. His sidemen, •especially bassist Ralphe Armstrong (who also played with McLaughlin) and drummer Casey Scheuerell can more than handle Ponty's structural and rhythmic demands. This album suffers from something every other Ponty album does: a certain sameness to the sound, especially in that of his violin. His solos aren't distinctive

his thematic guidelines and to weave us through their many forms. Unlike Songs In The Key of Life, Wonder's previous double album set, Plants has an overture of nearly a whole side, followed by three sides of songs and ballads and ended with a finale that recapitulates all the themes. Wonder also repeats themes, the first serving as a foreshadowing of a longer second piece a few cuts later. There's something here for everyone. "Send One Your Love" first appears as Ellington-esque instrumental, then surfaces again as a classic Wonder ballad. "Come Back As a Flower" is perhaps the most beautiful piece, sung by Syreeta Wright. Her voice most resembles Deniece Williams' but is softer and more fragile as she sings of her desire to reincarnate as a flower. Wonder includes a dark disco piece called "Race Bab-, bling"; the lyrics being babbled through various electronic distortions. In "Venus' Flytrap and The Bug," Wonder scores a racy, mischievous piece complete with a fly buzzing around the stereo field. The special effects are worth a mention as the album is digitally recorded and thereby allows an infinite redub capability. Songs are richly textured with Wonder's own instrumental overdubs and each addition is crystal clear. The Sony PCM (Pulse-Code-Modulation) digital technique doesn't seem as elastic as 3M's system, featured on Ry Cooder's latest

JOURNEY THROUGH THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS Stevie Wonder Composed, performed, produced and arranged by Stevie Wonder. 2-record set. TAMLA Tl3-371C2 That Stevie Wonder has survived and broken through the heavy Motown music factory is a tribute to his musicianship: He releases carefully timed albums that are brilliantly conceived as a whole: Wonder established certain themes and varies them much in the way classical scores do. As a result, there is a distinctive Wonder sound, heavily electronic, yet accessible. His synthesizer work and ability to play many instruments make him a one-man band. The Secret Life of Plants was scored for a film of the same name. This gave Wonder an exce~ent opportunity to use

offering. The PCM method uses a lower bit rate and extreme dynamic impacts overload the electronics. Stan Ricker, responsible for the brilliant Mobile Fidelity lab series, does the mastering, but the inferior vinyl pressing leaves us with a noisy surface despite the good intentions. There are some unusual pieces on this album that makes one consider if Wonder hasn't indulged himself too much. The sitar/ tabla excursion on "Voyage to India" is within bounds, but Japanese children chanting in "Ai No, Sono" and the repetition of "Kesse Ye Lolo De Ye" may seem excessive to some. Yet within the overall realm of what he's trying -to say in terms of race and humanity, Wonder is a progenitor of "World music." Bringing in eastern music contributes a great deal to Wonder's thematic developments. After all, plants grow in Africa and Asia, too. Some nice touches are added to the album: it is heavily scented with some exotic perfume and is embossed with Braille on the front cover. Perhaps the only serious bone to pick is the archaic breakdown of sides. The sides are sequenced 1,4 and 2,3 to accommodate multi-record changers. So few of us use that record-grinding "feature,'' let alone have that kind of turntable, that one can only hope the record industry finally puts the practice to bed.

The Metropolitan November 2~, 1979

~-m~s~~ Arrau's performance 'inspired' by S. Peter Duray-Bito Oaudio Arrau is certainly one of the better known pianists in the world, having established his preeminence as far back as 1927. Appearing with the Denver Symphony on Saturday, Nov. 17, Arrau proved that one only matures after over a half century of ivory manipulation. The program that night was Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor. Brahms released all stops for this one: the piece develops from grandiose majesty to quiet reflection to healthy rejuvenation, while subjecting the soloist to a severe pace. Brahms' contemporaries disliked his first concerto not so much because of its difficulty than its denying the performer a showcase for his talents. Arrau doesn't need a showy piece. He has the commanding presence to rise above the piece and focus its statement. At the outset of his performance, there was an odd disharmony between the orchestra and Arrau. The middle octaves of the opening piano phrases were lost in the overall texture. Arrau's countless concert performances came to bear and he quickly corrected the anomaly. By the last movement, a tricky Rondo that used various gypsy motifs, Arrau and the orchestra were flowing together. The final developments were elevated flights of inspired mu~icianship. Boettcher Hall resounded with applause.

The evening's other scheduled work, Bruckner's First Symphony, was cancelled as music director Gaetano Delogu was called out of town because of the death of his father. Michael Palmer, coprincipal guest conductor of the symphony, came in from Wichita and changed the program to Haydn's Symphony No. 97 in C major and Berlioz'

Roman Carnival Overture. Palmer has an elegant style and es-

tablished the mood with the Berlioz Overture: a stylish, snappy piece so typical of Berlioz. The Haydn Symphony was strong but contained moments of hesitation. A particular segment of the last movement called for a short violin

phrase that came off unfocused and muted. Otherwise, Palmer, with considerable assistance from concertmaster Josse Ceci on first violin, managed a thoroughly entertaining evening with the Denver Symphony.

Cinema

A real look at Italy's slums by S. Peter Duray-Bito -

DOWN AND DIRTY, Starring Nino Manfredi, directed by Ettore Scola. A New Line Cinema release at the Ogden. Italian films often have a wonderful quality of showing their society's weaknesses in a satirical, vaguely comical _ light. To a nation whose glory occurred two thousand years ago and where a government can't stay in power for over six months, these self-analyses are a considerable understatement. Down and Dirty looks at Italy's problems from a more realistic, and more sober, point-of-view. Directed by Ettore Scola and ~ photographed by Dario Di Palma, the film stars Nino Manfredi, who gave a wonderful touch to last year's Bread and Chocolate. Manfredi is Giacinto, a ruthless patriarch over a family of seventeen, all housed in a ramshackle hovel as some of Rome's twenty thousand shanty• towners. Scola carefully chooses the location of Giacinto's shack within eyeshot of St. Peter's dome in the Vatican. These people have no scruples. Giancinto pokes out his eye to collect insurance money and becomes a millionaire. With the rate of exchange being what it is, Giacinto is rich with his two thousand .. dollars. We first meet him in the middle · of the night pointing a shotgun at one of his sons, who was looking for the money. Later, Giacinto slashes his wife's arm, blasts another son with the shotgun when he temporarily misplaces his stash, and in general, acts like a childish, drunken -...boor. He finally pulls the last straw when he brings home a slut who can hardly fit through the door. In his grand illusions,

Madonna and Child in art Oksana Ross, artist and art historian, will host a lecture and show aboyt the "Madonna and Child in the History of Art" on Friday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Elizabeth Church on !he Auraria campus. ~ The lecture, a spokesperson said, will focus on style analysis of selected pieces of art and music which have dealt with the theme of the Madonna and Christ as a child. The program will include discussions of masterpieces by Michelangelo, da Vinci, El Greco, Ru~bens, and others. In the area of

he expects his wife and the _newly-arrived to sleep amicably in the same bed. In a brilliantly conceived scene, the family gathers around a huge slab of meat to discuss ways to rid themselves of Giacinto's tyranny. As the wife cuts up the meat, and members of the family nonchalantly sample raw slices, they agree to poison Giacinto at the next family dinner. The occasion arises and the wife puts rat-poison in his meal. Giacinto stumbles to the Mediterranean on a bicycle and, writhing in agony, uses the tire pump to fill his belly full of water. Survival is the key here. Giacinto proves' that the poor survive, .but the whole theme of the film show no mercy .for these people. They are below the level of what we consider normal classdivision. They are born into a world they can't even hope to have any status in, and make no effort to pull themselves out of the rut. The film is filled with symbolism. Giacinto grabs an egg from under a chicken and just happens to glance through the window of his hovel to see his transvestite son in an act of incest with his daughter. He stands there, with egg in hand, peering through the window with his one eye, cocking his head from side to side. His disbelief, it seetns, is not so much in the act of incest as in the odd picture he sees: the daughter washes her hair while the son, dressed in a gaudy green skirt and red wig, pumps her from behind. Later, when Giacinto pulls the daughter aside to scold here, he is overcome by passion himself. But these people are incapable of feeling passion. They fornicate every chance they get - in the outhouse, on various mattresses around the one-room

living space and even under billboards. All this activity results in offspring, who are characteristically herded into a play area closed in by a fence mape of bedsprings. After exhausting the beds with their efforts, the adults use them to control the inevitable by-products of their lust. · The film is decidedly anti-Catholic and exposes the insensitivity of materialism in our world. Giacinto has a night-

mare where his wife poses before a brand new electric kitchen and other members of the family appear in idealized scenes created by advertising and consumerism. Another scene shows the aging grandmother fixed to a T. V. show teaching English. The lesson : "freedom of choice" and "all we have to fear is fear itself." These concepts are about as central to these people as the man on the moon.

Metro State College's women's volleyball team fought their way into the finals of the Division II NAIA Regional Championship at the physical education building the hard way but they bowed to the University of Northern Colorado in the championship match 6-15, 5-15. UNC, who had been dropped from the first division last year, gained the finals via a 15-2, 15-3 shellacking of Colorado College. The Bears were seeded )lo. 1 going into the tourney and were granted a bye in the first round. MSC was forced to come back through the loser's bracket of the double elimination tournament after a first round loss to CC. The ladies then earned a finals berth with victories over University of Southern Colorado, 15-11, 15-7; & cc 15-10. In the first game of the finals, Metro bested UNC 15-7, 9-15 and 15-7 before falling in the championship. MSC placed three players on the All-Tournament Team; Anita Mathes, Julie Buntrock, and Sue Dammer. Other members of the squad were Colorado College's Helen Harvey and UNC's Claire Niehu and Debbie Barnhill. Barnhill was also selected tournament MVP.

the three institutions. Auraria accounts for over one-third of all the Iranians in Denver, with the Community College of Denver-Auraria having the greatest number of Iranians with 100-150 enrolled. "The Immigration Seryice will be interviewing the students on December 3, 4, and ·5," said George Gallegos, CCD-A registrar. "At this point, all we have done is send out letters to explain what they (the students) need to do.''

He said some of the Iranian students are concerned because their passports have been delayed at the Iranian Embassy, and some do not have their arrival and departure papers in order. Gallegos said the INS knows there can be some extenuating circumstances in some cases. ''They're looking at the situation in the terms that this will benefit the students and •help them (the INS) get their records straight,'' he said.
