He said funding for this type of competition is a long-range problem that depends on the eventual merger of MSC-and UCD. About five percent of the MSC student body voted. The national average for collegiate elections,

according to election commission officials, is about three percent . .

Contestations of election resuits will be accepted until Dec. 18 by the MSC student government's election commission, room 340 of the Student Center.

l CCHE staff against merger :

The staff of the Colorado Comission on Higher Education (CCHE) has formally recommended against a merger of Auraria's two largest institutions.

The report presented to the CCHE on De~. 7 by Dr. Charles Manning, commission associate director recommended that Metropohtan State College and the University of Colorado at Denver remain seperate entities with the current Auraria Board acting as final arbiter of inter-institutional disputes.

The roposal, titled "Three Coo er~ting Institutions,,' is simillar to what has been called the modified status quo.

The suggested proposal recommended that , ,governance and dministrative structure remain as ~hey exist,,, the MSC and UCD art and sciences "continue the ims

Iranian women-differ on views ~!o~!'r~~!ROPOLITAN through an interpreter and sometimes on her own. She said that conditions for women only appeared to be better before the revolution, and that contrary to appearances women were exploited under the shah.

"I used to work as a reporter in Iran for the campus newspaper and I also worked in a government office,'' she said. '.'They used to take women and put them in the government offices as decorations."

She said women will retain all their rights under Khomeini's rule, but she doesn't mind giving up some things if he asks it.

Although Feri has adopted American customs and styles, such as cigarette smoking and wearing jeans and turtleneck sweaters, she said she won't mind wearing the chador (veil) when she goes back to Iran.

"If it helps my country, I'll do it," she said.

Feri said under the shah men as well as women were oppressed in Iran. She said the problem is an economic one, and that social conditions stem from economic situations. When 'the "superstructure" and "infrastructure" of the country changes, everyone will be in a better situation.

In comparing women of both countries, Feri said women here are exploited because the economy forces them to go out to work. Iranian women stay home because they want to, she said.

by Mary Ellen Costello Two educated Iranian women raised in Tehran, both restricted as females under Islamic law, and both concerned for the future of their country, differ drastically in their views of what that future should be.

The status of women in Iran seems to have stepped back several hundred years under the Ayatollah Khomeini, but one Iranian woman living in Denver said there is nothing to fear under his regime.

"Islam has a lot of respect for women," said Peri, a 25-year-old housewife, who asked that only her first name be used because, for unexplained reasons, she fears deportation by the Immigration Service.

Feri visited Iran this summer, but returned to the United States to stay with her husband until he completes his degree in mechanical engineering at Auraria.

"American women only think they are free," she said, "but it's an illusion of freedom, because men still see them as sex objects.

"Under Islamic rules women are not used as objects," Feri said. "Khomeini doesn't want us to go back to the past.

The conception of women has been changed. Islam wants men to see women as ... human beings; for what is going on in their minds."

W omen are treated with more respect now, under Khomeini, than they were before, she said.

Feri, accompanied by her husband,

"There is no force to stay home. The only reason is to provide a better environment for the children," she said.

Overall, Peri thinks Khomeini will improve conditions in Iran.

Another Iranian woman, a 22-yearold graduate student in economics at the University of Colorado, strongly disagrees.

Fariba, who has only allowed use of her first name, ha.S lived in Colorado two years and shares an apartment with her sister and another Iranian woman.

now," Fariba said.

She had planned to get her degree and go back to teach at the National University in Tehran.

Now, her future is un- ~ 1 certain.

"I did not work and study so hard for two years in order to go back and wear the veil and stay at home,'' she said.

She said a lot of Iranian women students in the Denver area agree with her.

Fariba's family was liberal. She and her sister were not raised in strict Islamic ways, and she doesn't think the educated people in her country want to go back to old ideas. .

"Our country isn't like the Arabic countries. Our people won't like being 'restricted," she said. "Now it's different.

He (Khomeini) can't take us back 200 or 300 years. People won't go for that."

Despite the abuses of the shah's government, Fariba said the situation, for women has been improving. The shah's· sister, Princess Ashfar, pushed for changes in divorce and property laws.

Before the shah, women did not have the · right to divorce, but a man could "kick his wife out" and the wife couldn't do anything about it. The husband also could keep all the property so the wife "got nothing."

Although the shah improved conditions for women, "he did other things that made people hate him," Fariba said.

She thinks the people backed Khomeini "to get rid of the shah." But Iran has to stay in the 20th century, and she doesn't see that happening under the new government.

Khomeini, she said, has done away with co-ed schools, calling them "places of corruption." He has also forbidden western music, discos, and movies.

If the situation remains the same she won't go back to Iran. She can stay here as long as she's going to school, but if the crisis worsens between the U.S. and Khomeini, she'll be afraid to stay here.

She said she was afraid when the Americans were first taken hostage in Tehran, but so far she hasn't been bothered by anyone. Now, she is afraid of reprisals by other Iranian students.

She said her ideas are unpopular with them.

At first she did not want even her first name used by THE METRO POLITAN, but she thought about it for awhile, and then said: ''Oh, go ahead, use my name. This is a free country and I have a right to my opinion."

The Metropolitan December 12, 1979

Editorial MSC deserves to be preserved [

by Frank Mullen

This is my last issue as METROPOLITAN editor.

I'm busting out. I'm going to grab my B.A. and make a break for the fences.

Before I leave however, there are a few things I want to rave about: Metro State College. Several years ago I made a living as a term paper ghostwriter, authoring research papers for students at Rutgers, Fordham, Boston College, Villanova University and other eastern institutions. I stayed at dorms, audited classes, and went to parties. I saw enough of American higher education to make me vow never to enroll in a college. Colleges, I maintained, were excellent places to hide if you didn't want to work.

They were places to go to learn how to get high, and since I need no further instruction in that. department, I was

determined never to wear the "student" label again.

When I enrolled at Metro in 1976 it was an experiment against my better judgement, but my years at the college has made me reevaluate my feelings on higher education.

As a reporter for six different Auraria newspapers, I have had the opportunity to see many of MSC's shortcomings. At the same time however, my contact with the students and faculty of every academic department has convinced me the college is doing its job as an innovative urban institution serving the people of Colorado.

MSC's students are not here to hide from work; they are here in spite of it. Most Metro students hold down full-time jobs while attending school and many have dependent children. The students are here because · they want to learn; the faculty members are here because they want to teach.

To the victor: responsibility

by Lou Chapman

The winners ask what the score is and the losers say shut up and deal. An oft repeated poker adage, this is also true for politics.

While the winners gloat over percentages won, total . votes garnered, and the universal truths proven by the final outcome, the losers regroup, assess the damages, and, most of all, dare the winners to prove the!Jlselves.

Shut up and deal becomes the unspoken post-election battle cry.

The results of last week's elections for the MSC student affairs committee (SAC) and student trustee (see page 1) are a total sweep for the MSC student body president. He openly supported the eventual winners.

The winners are saying this should end the problems that this semester have beset student government, problems that have been blamed on everything from unconsti_tutional, illegal actions to mere personality conflicts and bitterness. .

But the reverse is also true: On the surface, no one in student government needs to worry about those things now. They're all on the same team. Except for ongoing member Nancy Isaacs, every member of the SAC is now part of the same coalition. It is a co-supportive group.

In any legislative group, an inherent danger exists when

all the decision makers are from the same party. Where are the watchdogs? Where is the debate?

"I don't expect them to vote my way, i> said Floyd Martinez, student body president. "I supported them because I believed they're the best.''

We hope that is true. We hope the SAC will speak as a group of individuals, and not be afraid of a little turmoil if it means arriving at a more appropriate way of conducting the business of student government. We hope their decisions are publicly arrived at, in regularly scheduled· meetings, and not totally in the offices, homes, and gathering places of the student government members (although that is the name of at least part of the·game of any political group).

The burden is even greater than before for the new SAC to put into effect campaign promises. They won.

They have been democratically chosen to represent the student body. They said they will work to provide "student response." We hope they are aware of what the students need and want, and work as individuals to arrive at strong decisions together.

But just as importantly, we hope those who did not win will stay active in student politics, demanding that the winners do indeed deal the cards and get on with the game.

Guest Editorial The ASUCD proves Lord Acton's maxim Few people doubt that old cliche, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." That's why we have ·a national constitution with checks and balances to minimize the temptation on us frail humans. But the concept of Etbsolute power is not dead. It lives on at UCO student government in the form of the Executive Council. True, most of us don't give much thought to student government, we know it's there somewhere but mostly it doesn't seem to affect our lives very much. Not true, student government affects your life every time you pay tuition.

Every time a UCO student pays tuition, $7 leaves the student's pocket and goes into the coffers of student government. That adds up to $121,000 a year. The Executive Council, a five member board, serves as the legislative and executive branches of student government and it has sole authority for spending the money.

A judicial board may hear appeals of Executive Council decisions but it's up to the Executive Council to decide if it wishes to accept or reject the judicial board's findings. With a set-up like this, it's no wonder UCD has by far the highest paid student government in the state - maybe anywhere. Roughly half of this year's budget went directly to student government to spend on itself.

Some people feel one of the primary reasons for assessing student fees is to support student organizations. At UCO $16-18,000, or only 15 percent of the budget, is divided among fourteen student groups.

During the normal budgetary process last year the women's advocacy group received $6500 on the high end of the scale, and the campus anti-nuclear group received nothing at the low end. The Aurarians Against Nukes is currently seeking a ruling on funding from the judiciary board and other progressive student groups have voiced opposition to the arbitrary funding procedures of the Executive Council. In response, the Executive Council adopted - without discussion or student approval - a new set of financial guidelines which, in essence, eliminated from consideration for funding any group which takes a position on anything .. Such guidelines are directly at variance to the policies on the Boulder campus and they are probably unconstitutional as well.

It might be time to ask some serious questions about UCD student government. In the first place, do the students wish to continue to pay $121,000 a year to a student government elected by about 150 voters? If so, what activities should get priority for funding? And is it proper for the Executive Council to remain a law unto itself with no possibility for legitimate appeal of their decisions? We are looking for some answers.

The college deserves to be preserved. It is doing the job it was created to do. The institution should be left alone to continue its service and should not remain a 4 pawn in the political chess game of governance.

The three Auraria institutions are cooperating now and have indicated their willingness to continue to do so. It is time for everyone to return to their work, without the spectre of an uncertain future interfering with their performance.

The Student Newspaper. Over the past four years 11 different newspapers have served the Auraria cam- • pus. Some of these publications were mismanaged to death. Others fell victim to economic pressures or the axes of vengeful student government leaders. THE METROPOLITAN is the only surviving publication in this graveyard of student journalism.

I am biased, but I believe the present publication has done a good job serving the Auraria campus and the surrounding community. I have had very little to do with this. The credit belongs to the talent, dedication, and enthusiasm of the business and editorial staffs, made up of students from the three institutions. Hopefully, their efforts have ended the ephemeral nature of Auraria newspapers.

No newspaper can exist without a reactive audience.

It is not enough to read the copy and look at the pie- • tures. If you, the reader, see something in the paper which informs you, pleases you, or makes you mad enough to bite somebody, then let the newspaper know.

Write a letter to the editor; submit a guest editorial; come down to the office and scream.

A newspaper is like a play: Without an audience reaction the actors are simply talking to themselves. THE • METROPOLITAN talks directly to its audience once a week; the audience should continue to feel free to talk back.

The Colorado legislature is playing games with budget figures, and odds are the state's colleges and universities will come out the big.losers.

The legislature's Joint Budget Committee (JBC), responsible for preby Steve Raabe

,.

JBC is '1C)t receiving total education picture j

paring Colorado's 1980-81 fiscal year budget, is receiving incomplete financial information regarding the state's expenditures for higher education.

In testimony given to the JBC last month, JBC analyst Andrew Wallach reported Colorado's residents are each paying $92.46 for funding of state-supported colleges and universities. He showed that the Colorado figure ranks higher than the national average of

$87.48. Wallach's information came from an article in the Oct. 9, 1979 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Yet Wallach failed to point out information from the same article that casts Colorado's expenditures in a different light.

For example, the JBC failed to learn that Colorado is one of Qnly nine states that has not appropriated enough money in the last two years to keep pace With rising operating costs. While educational costs have risen 15 percent, Colorado's

higher education spending has increased only 12 percent. Thus, the state's real spending for colleges and universities has dropped 3 percent in the past two years.

In addition, the JBC's higher education budget includes funding for several agencies that some critics say should not be considered part of higher learning.

Among these are University Medical Center (formerly Colorado General Hospital), the Council of Arts and Humanities, and the State Historical Society. These and other agencies accounted for $44

million - almost 20 percent of the total education budget.

Wallach denied in an interview Dec. 3 that he and the JBC staff are biased against the state's institutions of higher learning. He said the staff tends to be fiscally conservative, and the state's $247 million budget for higher education is a ripe target for lawmakers interested in tightening Colorado's expenditures.

"We don't feel an across-the-board cut in higher education funding is needed," Wallach said. "But we do feel a shift in where the money is spent is necessary."

The JBC has scheduled a hearing Jan. 14, 1980 that will deal specifically with the higher education budget.

Ski-touring

continued from page 9

Without the forest for protection, the wind assaulted us with icy slaps and bites. The snow was tremendously deep, almost bottomless. Caution replaced our early exuberance; a broken ski at this point would mean a long hike back in waist-deep snow.

After a few more steep stretches, we arrived at the reservoir. The Forest Service has constructed a small wooden shelter below the dam and we soon huddled inside for the much-anticipated lunch of wine, bread and cheese. Even after hours of strenuous exercise, our bodies began to rapidly lose heat. Lunch was eaten quickly and soon we were climbing the earthern dam.

X-country cheaper than downhill

by Sal Ruibal

,

Before you can enjoy the snow-laden Colorado mountains on your crosscountry skis, you'v-e got to get your equipment together.

Cross-country equipment differs greatly from downhill., gear in both size, weight and function. Downhill gear is designed with one purpose: getting down the mountain. Cross-country skis must go both up and down.

Cross-country skis are much longer than modern downhill skis, even preGLM equipment. The average downhill ski purchased in 1978 was 190 centimeters long. Most cross-country skis are 215cm or longer. The increased length is important in establishing an efficient glide.

C-C skis are not as wide as their downhill counterparts and most do not have metal edges. Some wooden models have lignestone edges, a type of specially hardened wood that resists nicks and dents.

Edges are not as important in making turns on C-C skis as they are in downhill.

Since cross-country skis must go both up and down hills, the bottom of the ski must be specially treated to both climb and glide, no minor achievement.

Most Colorado skiers use a combination of sticky climbing waxes and slick downhill waxes to achieve the proper balance for a day of skiing. Blue wax is best suited to Colorado snow, with a green or light green type getting the nod for the descent portion of the slopes.

Wax.less skis began appearing on the market about ten years ago, but purists shunned them because their fish-scale design was too noisy. Based on the seal-skin principle, the scales produced a whooshing sound that disturbed the snowy silence.

Once again, ski designers went to the drawing board and produced the modern "step ski." The step ski features a traction surface with deeper cuts than the fish-scale design, but limited the feature to the area under the boot and binding.

This allowed for a more efficient kick, but without the excessive noise. Even purists are flocking to the step ski.

The greatest departure from downhill design is in the boot-binding combination. Downhill skiing requires that the skier be placed rigidly onto the skis in a slightly forward position. Cross-country requires that the skier kick and glide. In the forward leg motion, the heel must lift off the surface of the ski.

To accomplish this, the C-C ski boot is lightweight and low-cut, almost like a jogging shoe. The boot has an extended toe piece that fits in a three-pronged 'rattrap' binding. The binding holds the toe down, but is easily released with the tip of the pole.

The poles are usually made of bamboo or lightweight metal, and are longer than downhill poles. The poles assist in the kick and glide motion.

Aside from the basics of skis, boots and poles, there are several other pieces

Auraria SALT II debate -continues the controversy

by Mary FJlen Costello

I

Opponents of SALT II "insist upon clouding the issue with impossible scenarios," Bob Starrett said during a .debate Dec. 5 at the Auraria Student Center.

Starrett was leader of the pro-treaty team, part of the Special Topics Group taught by Dr. Cedric Tarr, chairman of the political science department at Metropolitan State College. ,.The anti-treaty group, led by Neil Harlan, argued that SALT II would "diminish U.S. security."

Harlan said the Soviets would be allowed unfair advantages such as the Backfire bomber, which can be converted to inter-continental use. The Russians would also be allowed, under the treaty, a greater number of long-range heavy missiles.

The pro-treaty groups said that under the terms of SALT II, the Soviet Union would be just as vulnerable to attack as the U.S. They added that SALT II was a " significant advancement" in arms limitation, but Harlan said the treaty only provided an "illusion of detente."

Dr. Warren Weston, of the political science department, judged the debate a

Disciplille, skill and a good itgent..

-

by Lou Chapman John Dunning might just be lucky.

How else to explain a tenth grade dropout about to have his fourth novel published and his fifth already assured a $15,000 advance?

Dunning, part-time MSC journalism instructor and former investigative and fea.ture writer for the i>enver Post, says he has the three minimum requirements for selling a novel: a good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

His agent in New York ("the only place to have an agent") pre-sold during lunch his first novel to a representative of Fawcett Publishing. The Holland Suggestions was published in 1975. It's all part of the game, explains Dunning, big, bulky, balding on top, with red hair on the sides and back, and 37 years old.

Within two months of that first sale, Dunning sold Tune In Yesterday, the only encyclopedia of old-time radio· shows. After the magazine treadmill and the eventual strait-jacket of newspaper work, Dunning was sure he was in like Flint. He sat back, probably smiled like a Cheshire cat on a limb in the moonlight, and waited for Hollywood to come after him.

But three years went by before Dunning sold another novel. Looking for Ginger North was bought by Fawcett after 22 other-publishers turned it down.

Dunning explains it was too short for some, too long for others... all part of the game, says the soft-spoken writer who has made his living cutting glass, grooming racehorses on the thorough- ' bred circuit, ~cting as press secretary for successful and unsuccessful congressional candidates, and teaching writing. Irons in the fire, he says. Not the type of job for those into weekly paychecks.

A good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

Dunning's latest novel, Denver, is a fictitious story about the newspaper business in Denver in the 1920s. But it's all based on historical background, factual settings, and true incidents. It's a hot approach right now, he says. James • Michener would probably vouch for that.

Denver will be published in January 1980, by New York Times Publishing.

They're the ones who have promised him the $15,000 advance for his next effort: a fictionalized account of Charleston, South Carolina, during the four years it was blockaded during the Civil War. Meanwhile, publishers are bidding on the paperback rights to Denver. Dunning gets half of the take, which is expected to go up to $50,000. A very timely approach right now indeed.

A good agent, a timely approach, and discipline.

That leaves discipline. There's just no way around it, Dunning says. You

b Frank Mull Y en STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley. Directed by Robert Wise.

Earth bas a problem in the 23rd Century: A huge blue cloud "with the power of 1,000 starsbips" is whizzing through space, zapping cobalt lightning bolts at everything in its path. The cloud has made short work of three Klingon Empire starships and is heading toward earth.

Witb the cloud's estimated time of arrival in 40 hours, the United Federation of Planets turns to that Admiral Hornblower of the spacelanes, James T. Kirk.

Kirk, who fias been a desk jockey for - the last three years, is given the power to draft his old crew. He takes the con of his reconditioned starship in an effort to bead off the invader. Kirk and his crew are somewhat chubbier but the years have had little effect on their characters. McCoy and Spock are still feuding. Scotty still treats the ship like a baby. And Kirk is still affected by the terrible loneliness of command.

The starship heads toward the cobalt cloud at Warp 7 speed and after some heroics by Spock, a few wry asides by McCoy, some calculated risks by Captain Kirk, and a couple of casualties among

·the crew, the pride of the fleet saves earth from the machine intelligence within the cosmicthunderhead.

The film will not disappoint Star Trek fans although producer Gene Roddenberry and director Robert Wise played it very safe with predictable dialogue and characterizations.

The movie shows everything Trekkies ever wanted to know about the Enterprise, but were unable to learn on the TV screen: The starship breaking through the warp barrier; a transporter malfunction; United Federation of Planets Headquarters; the Enterprise in orbital drydock; the impulse and warp-drive engines; .the entire 430 man crew at an assembly (this time the crew includes not only earthlings and Vulcans but also a beautiful Deltan yeoman and an alien wearing 1950s wrap-around sunglasses on tiis shriveled watermelon-sized head); the roof of the bridge.

There were some nice special effects in the space scenes and some very brief looks at 23rd Century technology a la Rori.den berry, but the film emerges Cl' a safe, predictable version of the TV series.

The producers know they are on .solid ground by not straying too far from old territory. It is easy to make a successful film from a successful series. The producers knew it could be dangerous and expensive to head for new frontiers.

The film will be a money-maker. The lines formed early for the Denver opening and in the lobby sales of Star Trek bumperstickers, buttons, "command in~ig­ nia," and tee shirts seemed to be gomg well.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is an entertaining film, comparable to Superman with a dash of Star War.s. In some ways, however, the movie is a disappointment. It is the TV series with cinematic effects; no more, no less.

Roddenberry left the movie wide open for a sequel, and perhaps Star Trek II will set offin a new direction. Someone like Harlan Ellison could write a screenplay which would take the Enterprise amt its crew where no movie has gone before.

Hopefully, the sequel will not totally follow the successful formula of the series and the movie. Even diehard Trekkies would like to see something new and unexpected.

~-MSC Senior Art

by S. Peter Duray-Bito There are two problems with this

~how that curiously have nothing to do

with the art. The first, obviously; is the location. The St. Francis Interfaith Center can offer only a few walls with proper lighting during the day and nothing can be viewed at night. The facility has no track lighting and no provisions for gal1 lery style hanging. The Emmanuel Gallery, on the other hand - but we'll get to that later.

The second problem with the Metro Senior show is uncertainties in the judging. Best of Show went to a sculpture by Roulier (an obviously bogus name, if there ever was one), who also won an 'Honorable Mention and Juror's Choice from five works accepted by the jurors.

This person's work is fine, especially the three grotesque sculptures lined along a wall on the second floor. But winning three prizes too obviously belabors Roulier's work in lieu of other equally _.notable works.

There is no question that Pat Sheller's Untitled #23 and Carlos A. Fresquez' illusionist piece, both on the ground floor, should have won more than Honorable Mention. Sheller flourishes·through translucent layering of , slapped-on paint, reminiscent of Jackson Pollock, yet the work of a different mind. Fresquez neatly combines illusionist elements with reality to keep

17

Show misplaced

the viewer off balance with uncertainties.

Leann Heany's piece, next to Fresquez', is more conventional, but still pops out at the viewer with a fine technique and good color. An Honorable Mention, at least.

On the second floor are more fine pieces. John Carroll's steel Eagle, though reminiscent of Lufthansa's bird symbol, is a graceful, dynamic addition to a 30th story exec's suite in the Anaconda Tower.

At $800, only they could afford it. Keri Kelly supplements her fine ground-floor piece with two rust brown paintings that seem too similar - until you see the sewn canvas in Unbroken Circle.

Sandra Perkins' Nude #4 is a distorted, derogatory nude figure brilliantly textured, but, unfortunately, horribly lighted. Dorothy · Jean Smith's Red, o Yellow, Orange uses a three-planar iii screen that is innovative but somehow doesn't come off satisfactorily. Further ~ down the hall are works of lesser note: ~ S.W. Cunningham's trendy illustrations 'i just don't have the snap, and Jean S. Wil- ~

cliched watercolor practice in Evergreen (she has business cards attached to the frames).

Which brings us to the major bone to pick. These pieces are by Metro seniors who will be out in the big, wide world in a few short months. With the ·exception of those who are crassly commercial, these fine artists will be depending on people to see their work and appreciate it (and buy

it). Few can see the work at St. Francis, let alone appreciate it. The facility, wonderfully open and airy in its own right, simply doesn't lend itself to exhibitions.

The Emmanuel Gallery: excellent track lighting, good viewing distances, easy accessibility, seemingly ·forever reserved for faculty shows and never open.

At this time in the Emmanuel are three holographic displays by Metro instructor R. Edward Lowe that leave the building's walls almost totally empty.

Denying this excellent space from hard-working students trying to display their talents makes my blood boil.

veterans, starting with resolving the anger and powerlessness they feel. Dealing with the loss of friends in the senselessness of the Vietnam conflict is next. Also, the veteran must be helped over his feelings of self-disgust and sense of suryivor guilt, two emotions Schulz said are hard to separate.

"I have not yet seen a guy," Schulz said, "who would encourage his son to go to war or the service.''

Meanwhile, Nitsche was continuing to develop ties with community agencies to help with his growing list of services: emergency housing, food, and financial assistance, employment, legal referrals, VA benefits and claim counseling, in addition to the growing psychological counseling load.

"What was hard to hear was, 'The VA should deal with that'," Nitsche said.

"But the community sent them (to Vietnam), they're from the community - the community should help them."

In the summer, the DAV decided to expand the program to 62 other cities.

Denver had been one of six pilot cities to test the project.

"It seemed to be the right people coming along at the right time to make it all work," Nitsche said of the Denver office. "We were able to show numbers to justify the program. It's hard to believe how big the problem is."

According to Nitsche's office statistics, he received from vets about 1,500 contacts in nine areas of counseling and assistance from June through October.

Psychological and psychiatric counseling contacts went from 62 in June to 310 in October. (Every time a vet contacts the office for a specific problem it counts as one contact, even if he's been in the of-· fice before.)

Schulz said he can measure the success of his work with the veterans by ., noticing "very marked changes in behavior." He said the veteran will stay

on a job rather than walking out or punching the boss, and marriage relationships might become less violent and erratic. '_'They learn to channel their anger in a more productive way, ' ' he said.

Developing a new belief in trust - in friends, spouses, and themselves - is another sign of success, he said. He added that the general time period for a group to meet is about six months, or about 20 sessions.

"But if we can undo in six months what it took the Army thirteen months to do " Schulz said "I don't think we're dolng bad at atl.' '' The Outreach Program has four group sessions a week, with a waiting list.

Another local psychologist, Dr. Kathy Jens, and Candis Willillms, of the University of Denver School of Profession.al Psychology, have begun group sessions for the wives of veterans who are in delayed stress counseling. The effects of delayed stress usually create family problems that must be understood by both husband and wife.

Besides assistance from Schulz and Williams, Nitsche now has another psychologist and a full-time DAV department advocate working half-time in his office. Both positions are funded by the Colorado DAV for the nationallysponsored program.

Nitsche would like to add to his staff a full-time psychologist, full-time social worker, someone to handle discharge upgrades only, and a full-time attorney. A lot of these requests and plans, he said, would have been thought of as silly one year ago.

"Nobody's sitting around on their hands," Nitsche said. "There's other things to be done all the time, but no time to do them."

The office has its bottlenecks, its delays in helping veterans, its frustrations with their own and other "systems," but at least it has proven itself, and has been given a new, open-ended lease on life.

Or having to give up an ir:nportant class because·of fixed work hours. .Time-Life, · inc. .has the answer. Our office · is located less than two blocks from campus. So you can park yo~r car in an all-day lot and get some exercise. And with our flexible hours you can schedule y~ur work around class instead of class around work.

THREE POINTS TO.REMEMBER · ABOUT TIME-LIFE, INC.: 1. Hours. If you have alternating morning · and afternoon classes, you can . come in and work during your free time.
