-Funds frozen, budget being revised __ by Joan Conrow

.__

The budget for the MSC student government was frozen Feb. 4 by Edward Schenck, dean of student services for MSC. The action by Schenck follows a -._. Jan. 23 request by him that Floyd Martinez, president of the Associated Students of MSC (ASMSC), provide a revised student government budget by Feb.

8. Schenck has charged Martinez

~ and his administration with deficit

spending and has requested a revised budget that will channel additional money into the student help portion of the ASMSC budâ&#x20AC;˘ get. The $12,919 student help budget pays the salaries of the student body president and vice president, administrative aides, secretaries, and members of the curriculum ,... and student affairs committees. By Dec. 31, 1979, 83 percent of that budget had been spent, according to Schenck. In comparison, only 64.1 percent of the total $24,000 ASMSC budget had 1 4' been spent by that date. "The rub, in my position," said Schenck, ''is the high salary within student government that just developed.'' But Martinez said there were a

number of reasons why the $12,919 allocated for student government salaries was insufficient. "If you want an efficient job done, you pay people,~' Martinez said. "Dan and Neil put in a lot of

Seawell begins press offensive: Aurarians view proposed model by _Sal Ruibal

Donald R. Seawell has taken his battle for the relocation of Speer Boulevard onto the editorial pages of the Denver Post. Seawell is president and publisher of the Post, as well as chairman of the board for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). His relocation plan calls for the creation of a park alongside the east bank of Cherry Creek from Larimer Street to Coifax Avenue. The northbound lanes of Speer would be moved to the west side, parallel to the southbound lanes. The DCP A is the most prominent tenant on the east bank and the Auraria Higher Education Center occupies the entire west side. Primary opposition to Seawell's plan has come from Auraria officials.

Seawell had earli.er played down - his role as publisher of the Post declaring ''we are not at all trying to propagandize." An editorial in the Feb. 4 issue of the Post urged the city to "consider all the possibilities before it brings in the bulldozers," an apparent reference to events that oc. cured at a meeting of the Denver City Council's Public Works Committee earlier that day. At that meeting, members of the City Council were told that the city intends to open bidding for construction on the Blake Street bridge project. That project would straighten the dog leg at the intersection of Speer and Blake. It is considered to be the first step in implementing the Chafee-Thomas . compromise development plan for

the Cherry Creek area. The compromise was reached in 1978 after extensive negotiations between the city, Auraria and downtown interests. The compromise plan would create park space, bikepaths, and pedestrian walkways between and beneath Speer Boulevard along its border with Auraria, but the traffic lanes would not be moved. Denver Mayor William McNichols Jr. has already spoken out against the relocation plan. In a Jan. 19 interview, the Mayor said, ''Unless there is something new (in the Seawell plan) that I haven't seen, I can't recommend it." Seawell has claimed the compromise was reached under duress: "Downtown Denver, Inc. tells me continued OD page 4

Chicano studies: slow changes by Donald Griego

MSC Chicano students are not satiswith administrative input into Chicano studies. In an effort to upgrade the Chicano studies department and bolster Chicano enrollment, a task force has been formed to look into these issues and propose changes. ,,... The issues came up at a meeting last semester between MSC President Donald Macintyre and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) students. At that Oct. 4 meeting, Macintyre said he recogruzed institutions of nigher education as being "racist" and wanted "o work with MEChA to improve the 1agging Chicano studies department and look into reasons why the Chicano attrition rate was so high. At a second meeting Nov. 27, which prominent members of the Chicano community attended, a task force of three students, three community memt'>ers, and three administrators was formed to look over these issues and submit a proposal to Macintyre for the upcoming budget. The task force members are students Antonio Sanchez, Rusty Urioste, and Judy Martinez; community members -Father Pat Valdez, Adolfo Gomez, and Betty Salazar; an~ administrators Kelly Espinosa, Yolanda Ortega, and Gil Gutierrez. However, MEChA students are not satisfied with Mcintyre's input to the task force. "Two and a half months passed and ~e haven't met with Macintyre at all," Antonio Sanchez a spokesman for ~ed

MEChA said. "We kept trying to reach his office by phone, but get no response. Macintyre admitted he hasn't made any attempts to set up a meeting with MEChA, but that he has not heard anything from MEChA. "I'll be having a meeting next week in which there will be a MEChA person (Debbie Montoya, member of search committee for vice uresident of student affairs)," Macintyre said. "I'll take the opportunity to talk to Debbie and to set up a meeting with MEChA.'' Defining some of the problems with Chicano studies and those of MSC, Sanchez had said the supportive programs that exist don't really push to help Chicano students through what he calls ~ the "enchilada" school system. · He also cited a lack by the college to ~ inform students of these support '2 programs. "At registration, the student' s guide a.. to MSC is the only way students can get u) this information," Sanchez said.

War certain if no nukes? Saudi Arabia is the single most dangerous conflict spot in the Middle East and the U.S. seeks to stop Soviet expansion by building a fist offive nations, according to John Rothmann, foreign policy and political consultant. Rothmann, who has provided political analysis and commentary on the Middle East/or ten years, lectured at Auraria Jan. 31. He was sponsored by Auraria Hillel. · He said the minute oil is affected in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. will have to take action. Nuclear weapons have so far deterred any direct confrontration between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, Rothmann said. Without fear of nuclear weapons, he believes we would be at war today. Rothmann said the U.S. would like to group Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the Sudan into a coalition with the U.S. to prevent Soviet expansion. But the first step in easing Middle East conflicts, he said, is the normality of relationships between Egypt aniliStlUL. - ·· ---·

continued from page 1 for the SAC with proposals for transferring funds with the entire ASMCS $24,000 budget before preparing the revised budget for Dean Schenck. Martinez said he does not intend to withdraw funds from any previously funded programs, such as athletics, to pay salaries. He said he does not have the authority for such action, and could only request the pro-rated amount of $1,000 from Legal Services because they were not funded directly, but rather through a discretioQary fund . He added that the $3,000 given to Legal Services last October was initially earmarked by him for staff salaries. But to get SAC approval last July of his annual budget, Martinez agreed to give the money to Legal Services through the Special Projects fund. "We're going to make ends meet wherever we can," Martinez said. "I'll ask staff and committee members to take salary cuts. Jocko and I are both cutting our salaries.'' :Jocko Spencer is ASMSC vice president. Schenck said he thinks the only way Martinez can keep within his budget is by drastically cutting student help. "My business is the $24,000," Schenck said. "How they want to move it around to come up with the student salaries is theii business. I see problems in that area. " The Feb. 4 memo from Schenck in-

forming Martinez that his budget had been frozen read in part: "I have instructed Tim Greene, Bu~get Office, not to process any additional charges for ASMSC until I have a revised budget. 0b,¥iously, your staff must be advised of this development." The memo, marked to have copies sent to Greene, MSC President Macintyre, and MSC Vice President of Student Affairs Robert Thompson, offered advice to Martinez. It suggested "especially reducing paid staff." However, Schenck told THE METROPOLITAN on Feb. 5 that he had not placed a hold on the ASMSC account, and would only do so if he did not receive the revised budget by Feb. 8. Martinez said he had no contact with Schenck since receiving the memo, and assumed his funds were frozen. Martinez said he did not intend to cut anyone's salary unless they volunteered for a cut. He said people deserve to be paid because working in student government takes a lot of time and he requires everyone to work and put in hours before they are paid. "Paying people has increased their participation in student government," Martinez said. "We've accomplished a lot. We've built up a power base; we're in good with the legislators. We have a great rapport with UCD that didn't exist last year." Martinez said Neil Harlan is planning fund raisers, such as the United Bank Tennis Tournament, to bring in more money to help pay student salaries. Martinez said when he draws up the 1980-81 bu9get he will allocate more money for student help so this problem will be eliminated. He will also write up a continued on page 4

"I was determined to write because I was afraid I might die and not leave a body of work behind me," said Doe, an associate professor of English at MSC. "I was also afraid that even though I

Fees might decrease ... someday by Charlotte. Rath

Auraria students have good news and bad news concerning their student fees. . The good news is that when bonds purchased by Auraria in 1975 are paid off, fees should decrease. The bad news is that the bonds aren't expected to be paid off until the year 2011. On the other hand, students might sooner look forward to lower Auraria parking rates when bonds bought to pay for the lots are paid off. According to the current schedule, that ought to be in 1998. The bonds were set up to pay for construction of the parking lots, child care center, student center, and student lounges throughout .the campus. Every

Aurarian student pays a student services bond fee. This semester it is $10. The $6 million student and child care centers bonds were originally financed in 1975 and refinanced in 1977 at a reduced interest rate with the help of a HUD loan. The $3.5 million parking lot bonds were originally financed in 1975 at an eight percent interest rate and were refinanced in 1978 at a reduced interest rate of 6.8 percent. Every year the bonds are rated by a national firm, Standard & Poor's, to determine the investment value. This year, the rating on the parking lot bonds increased. According to Ben Walton, director of administrative services, the rating increase is due to more efficient management and, subsequently, increased revenues from the parking lots.

The bonds on the student center and child center received a low rating in 1979 because of problems with documentation and a concern over dipping enrollments, according to the Feb. 21, 1979 issue of THE METROPOLITAN. However, the rating on these bonds is expected to increase this year, according to Bill Sundblad, director of business affairs for AHEC. However, the ratings of the bonds are considered only relatively and have only a limited effect on the actual value of the bonds. The bonds offer investors a safe, tax-exempt, low risk, but small return on their money.

continued from page 3 position paper that will cover areas in student government that could be improved. He hopes that would help the incoming ASMSC president avoid some -of the problems he has had. Schenck said he does not invision any more controls on the student government because of the problems with the budget this year. He did say the administration would begin asking questions a little earlier in the year about how money is being spent, and if the funds will last through the school year. "That's just sound business practices, to give people a budget and have them stay within it," Schenck said . ."This deficit spending is just not acceptable. If that means you have to cut people and programs, you cut people and programs." "We've already drawn up the revised budget, and we're working on the fine points," Martinez said. "We're meeting with Schenck on Friday." Martinez said his budget needs approval by the SAC because it contains transfer of funds within the ASMSC budget, but the SAC does not meet again until Wednesday, Feb. 13. The student body president said it was unfair of Schenck to freeze the funds until he had a chance to present a revised budget. Neil Harlan called the move ''selective harrassment.'' He said several organizations at MSC are over their budgets, according to the college service fund printout of Dec. 31, 1979. "We're not in deficit spending," Harlan said. "But some of those others are, and their budgets weren't frozen." According to the Dec. 31 printout, the women's volleyball team had spent 257.2 percent of its budget ($11,063.02 on.-a budget of $4,300) and women's tennis.has spent 12L.5 percent of its budget~· ($2,188.08 on a budget ofSl,800).

Auraria classified personnel opens new AHEC office A new Classified Personnel Office to serve the UCO, MSC, and the Auraria Higher Education Center opened in early January. The office is responsible •for employment exams, position classifications, and recruitment for vacant positions. It will also serve as a central location on campus for posting vacancies and transfer opportunities for state personnel employment. Currently employed classified staff at MSC, UDC, and AHEC should continue to work with their institutions' personnel offices for items not listed, such as benefits or employment records. The manager of the office is Billie Webb, who received a BA from Salem College in North Carolina and an MA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She has been with the Colorado State Department of Personnel for five years, working with the Colorado Intergovernmental Personnel Act Program. Webb is a member of the American Society of Public Administration, Professional Women in the Public Sector, and the International Personnel Management Association. Patricia Harris, previously with MSC Personnel Office, is personnel analyst for the Auraria Classified Office. The new office plans to hold regular workshops and seminars to assist classified personnel with examination and classification procedures. The office is located at 1250 Seventh St. in the Auraria business service building. It is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (closed during the noon hour). The phone number is 629-3383.

Larimer Street. Jerry Wartgow, executive director of AHEC, said the shelters will be constructed and installed within the next few weeks. They are an interim measure until RTD builds permanent shelters. "The campus is on RTD's list for shelters," Wartgow said. However, the schedule for RTD probably will not be -met until August. Auraria has had a large number of requests from students and staff for some type of structure as soon as possible." MSC student government officials planned two weeks ago to construct makeshift shelters on Lawrence Street, but were detered by the bad weather. Wartgow said AHEC has been working with RTD for nearly a year and a half to get bus shelters. Delays were caused by the necessary documentation among · various local, state, and RTD agencies, he said. •'But Auraria feels that at this point it is important that bus riders have shelter in inclement weather," Wartgow said, "even if official policies and schedules are taking longer than we had anticipated."

Earth Week planning underway· People across the nation are currently making plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Earth Day, to demonstrate that environmental values are widely supported and constructively pursued. In Colorado, Earth Day 1980 is being coordinated by the Colorado Open Space Council, the statewide environmental coalition. The Colorado Open Space Council (COSC) is working with the national Earth Day organization, the Citizen's Committee for the Second Environmental Decade and with local organizations throughout Colorado. Nationwide, the focus of the effort will be on positive, resourceful initiatives taking place in communities everywhere to improve environmental quality. and protect natural resources. The beginning of Earth Week coincides, on Saturday, April 19, with the annual demonstration at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant. On Sunday, mountaineers will herald the festivities, bearing Earth.. Week banners to mountaintops throughout the state and hundreds of others will join in a fundraising Earth Walk. Each weekday of the following week has a special designation to focus activities that are being planned by many organizations in many communities. Monday is Awareness Day, a day for considering the state of the environment and

the movement to protect it. Tuesday is April 22, Earth Day. Events are expected to focus attention on the earth as home, garden, habitat and resource. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are designated Air, Water and Fire (energy) Days, respectively.

feature China, Africa. as classroom I I by Karen Breslin

The city is split in two: one world for the rich, another for the desperately poor. The wealthy inhabit the skyscrapers stretching along the coast, the poor dwell in clusters of tiny shacks that make-up the f ave/af, much like the American ghetto. The city is Rio De Janeiro, one stop on a one-hundred day Semester at Sea. MSC student Edie Suson participated in the fall cruise of the S.S. Universe, the steamship for Semester at Sea, a program affiliated with the University of Colorado which permits students to travel the world while earning college credit. . Edie, a 19-year-old sophomore, travelled to refugee camps in Hong Kong and the Taj Mahal in India, joined in an African safari in Kenya, basked in the warm sun and swam in the clear waters of the Seychelles, all while earnmg twelve hours of college credit. The price tag for Edie's excursion: $8,000 of hard-earned student money. But Edie will tell you it was well worth it. Her favorite stop wasn't the exotic Singapore or the cosmopolitan Rio, but India. Isn't India dirty and diseaseridden? Edie affirms it is. But maybe we don't know about the friendliness of the Indian people, their willingness to stop and talk, and offer their hospitality. "Even if they are really poor, they

ask you if you want to come into their house," Edie said. And there is the colorful Indian band that performed near the ship's dock and the. beggar/merchants like the one who sold her a unique metal lock shaped like a horse, that won her heart. But most of all, it was _the side trip she took to Agra, India, the site of the Taj Mahal, Edie remembers clearest: "It's incredible. You look at it far away and you see the reflection in the pool. The first time we saw it was at night. It looked sort of blue because of the moon shining on it--there were no lights on it--it was sort of eerie.'' A friend gave her a souvenir from the Taj Mahal: a small box made of cut marble and inlaid colored stohe, a miniature of the Taj Mahal design. Did she have any trouble communicating with the native peoples? "Almost every place we went, people spoke English." Edie said, "I don't think I had that many culture shocks." But one surprise was the living conditions of many of these people. "Every single country we went to there were the really rich people and the very poor." Hong Kong was one of these contrasting areas. Of the very poor Edie talked about the boat people, those that live on boats and work on land. "It's really sad. Most of them used to be fishermen, they live on their boats

in sewer water, they don't go anywhere because they can't compete with the big commercial fishermen with machinery. So many work on land." · Most of these people want_a small piece of land to live on from the government, Edie said, but the. government refuses to give the people parcels of land until their boats sink. The boats, Edie said, turn out to be more like shacks on rafts. Next to these floating shacks are the large commer-cial boats. But, she noted, even many of the boat people have TV's in their shacks. Many of the scenes Edie photographed are of the Seychelles, a string of 86 islands in the Indian Ocean. And it is easy to see why. The terrain is lush and thick with greenery, the waters clear, the sands soft and fine like flour. Her visit to Capetown was not quite so perfect. The segregation, Edie said, is still very much evident, with separate drinking fountains, restrooms, and other

Time led to confidence continued from page 4 which gave her emotional support. They also listened to her writing and provided suggestions and criticisms. She returned to Denver and MSC in 1977 and became the composition coordinator for the Epglish department, one of many positions she still holds. At that time Doe also started Composition Collective Consciousness, a campus newsletter featuring her writings. Another important influence on her writing and teaching came when she was accepted to the Institute of Writing, a joint project with the University of Iowa and the National Endowment of the Humanities, in 1978. "Four months were devoted to the study of language aquisition and its relationship to writing, and on the study of composition," Doe said. "Two months were spent on curriculum design. It was a great program. For six months I wrote, talked and dreamed writing." Doe returned to MSC in fall 1979 with new confidence in her writing and new ideas about curriculum changes within the English department. ~n Iowa she developed the idea of an interdiscilinary approach to writing and formulated the design for the Writing Center. The Writing Center provides a supportive, yet instructional setting for students who wish to improve their writing skills. · Doe's many activities include director of the Writing Center, faculty developer (to share what she learned in Iowa with other faculty members), teacher and mother of two girls, Andrea, 12, and Amy, 10. Yet, she still finds time to write whenever the mood hits. "When "I find I have something to say, I say it," Doe said. "A lot of my work is counter-statement. I'm a very strong feminist; I get very irate about sexism, so some of my work is directed to the ERA." Even though she can do all types of writing, Doe is happiest when she can do expressive writing. " I think there should be individual voices in prose," she said. " I'm happiest when I can write prose that has a voice." Doe has no plans to put her writing into a comprehensive work for publishing. She said she is so present-oriented

she has a hard time looking into the future. However, she can think of one place she would like to see her writing. "Broadway,',. she said, looking around her office, cluttered with books and papers. ''That would be a nice place to go."

Poems-unlock doors by Carolyn Baird

2use I was afraid I might die••• "

A poem can be a satire, a protest, a prayer, or a cry, but one thing is for sure: a poem is best when it's shared. · Poems in the Cabaret at Bonfils Theatre provides a common sharing ground for local poets in a serie~ of poetry readings sponsored by the Urban Institute. MSC Associate Professor Sandra Maresh Doe and two other local poets, Thalia Fefinski Cady and Pat Urioste read their works Jan. 22 at the Cabaret to an audience of about 100 people. In one of her more humorous 'poems, Doe satirized the consciousness movement. Ravaged by suggestions on bow to get sane, clear, and holy, she concludes that she wants to ''sin boldly and keep her karma.'' . Cady read a poem from a waitress' point of view in a hilarious account of sore feet and servitude. Urioste conjured images of her teenage son in a sympathetic poem about "punks" she has known. If insightful honest clarity is the key to success, these women unlocked the doors to an experience worthy of any audience. The music of David Patterson, a local guitarist and song writer, complemented with a sensitive melodic beat the time between readings, and the colorful artwork of Clay Wright added a· unique dimension to the outer lobby walls. Producer and poet Craig CristEvans plans four more shows Feb. 17, March 30, April 27, and May 25 at Bonfils. Poet Reg Saner, nationally known recipient of the 1975 Walt Whitman Award, will be featured in the Feb. 17 show along with Jess Graf and Michael Hogan. The artwork of Denis M. Horvath will be shown. Crist-Evans will do a reading of his own poems in a benefit performance for The Touchstone Theatre on Feb. ·14.

facilities still being enforced. Many of the students aboard the cruise first refused to purchase anything during their stay in Capetown, but later gave in. Rio De Janiero turned out to be the most dangerous spot. Students visiting the .city lost money, including a group that were held-up by their cab driver. The city's favelaf are tightly knit communities with a code of conduct and neighborhood protectiveness. Edie said that if a member of the f avelaf was a thief in trouble, running from the law, his neighbor could be counted on to hide him out and lie for him. Government projects to create jobs for the people in these poor communities have been mostly useless, Edie said, because of the community spirit, the heed to stay together. The time spent on board the ship was in classes and participating in seminars and lectures on the social, economic, and political conditions to prepare for the inport experiences. The program provides several in-port trips at each stop, plus excursions like the African safari, at a price. The students are also encouraged to set-up trips of their own. Aboard ship, accomodations were nice, but not entirely luxurious, Edie· said. The food, prepared by a crew from Taiwan, was bland, cafeteria style. She sampled the food in most of .the stops, including an unknown dish in a street cafe. The dish turned out to be octopus. Overall, Edie liked most of what she ate and came away from the trip, she said, five pounds heavier. The only improvement on the cruise Edie suggested was better screening of the

470 students permitted on the trip. Though most of the students on the ship took full advantage of. the experience, some students, she said, did not. Closer scrutiny might prevent future vandalism and theft, she suggested. As it is now, anyone with at least a 2.5 GPA is eligible for the trip. The students came from all over the country, including many from CU. Prices for the cruise vary according to the accornodations. Single rooms are available but much more costly than shared rooms. Participation in the inland excursions also raise the price of the trip. Toward the end of the voyage, Edie said she got a little homesick, little things like having familiar music around you all the time, or knowing what was going on at home were greatly missed after a while. But now, she says ~e's ready to go again.

~~~ 'Gigolo' a shallow fashion show by Charlotte Rath

AMERICAN GIGOLO. Starring Rich· ard Gere and Lauren Hutton. Written and directed by Paul Schrader. At the N01:thglenn, Soothglenn, Target, and Tamarac. American Gigolo has an original idea, stars exciting Richard Gere, and is written and directed by Taxi Driver Paul Schrader; however, the movie falls flaJ on its picture-perfect, fashionable face. American Gigolo is only a fashion show, dealing with appearances and facades--never showing any depth or meaning. Like the superficial life of a prostitute, the picture leaves you emotionless. Cool and cocky Julian Kay (Richard Gere), is a high class male prostitute, who meets Michelle Stratton (Lauren Hutton), the wife of a California congressman. They fall iii love, but Julian discovers he is being framed for a murdei:, has a falling out with his high society clientele, and Mrs. Stratton comes to the rescue. The plot is old--you keep hoping for some variation, any variation--and the ending is chopped with quick flashes as if Schrader grew tired of it, too. Schrader uses the language of prostitutes, as if it were a garment added to the characters. The words are awkward and pretentious. The movie concentrates on appear-

ances as typified in the opening scene where Julian Kay, in his black Mercedes 450 SL convertible is driving down Rodeo Drive, all to the bass throbs of a catchy disco melody. · Granted, the life of a prostitute is based on appearances, but you see little else of the characters. Richard Gere is decked out in every muted shade imagin_able of a Ralph Lauren-like line of linen suits and his apartment is out of Architechlural Digest. But his character is disappointingly barren. Lauren Hutton, the highest paid model in the world at one time, is fashionably underdressed. After a stifled performance in Gator, Hutton is more comfortable with the Hollywood surroundings in this movie, although at times you get the feeling she is posing for another cover of Vogue. The sex scene between lovers Gere and Hutton is uncomfortable. The bodies ·are beautiful but nothing happens sensually. The movie is ridden with other onedimensional characters: an unscrupulous black pimp; a rich, stuffy, hungry, older woman who is one of Julian's awkward clients; and Hutton as the lonely casualty of a successful husband. John Travolta was originally cast as Julian, but he walked off the set. He must have guessed the end result of°this movie. ·

The Japanese instruments add some flavor to the music ljut are all too often lost behind the electronic texture. Then there are the ineffectual vocals that simply put you to sleep (only one, "Holidays,'' has a reference to the Orient). If you like Al Franken, from Saturday Night Live, you will like this quote from the back cover: "Hiroshima drives you, but in a soothing, relaxing way. "Trust me, Larkin Arnold, Senior Vice President (Arista Records)." Oddly enough, this album is doing quite well on the jazz charts, which only underscores the sad state of popular jazz today.

*****

Dexter Gordon is out to make us pay for ignoring him so long. A contemporary of 1940s beboppers Lester Young and Charlie Parker, Gordon spent most of the last two decades as an expatriate in Europe. His appearances at Copenhagen's Montmarte jazz cl~b are quickly achieving legendary status. He returned during the Bicentennial year, when he finally began to receive the recognition he deserves. Since 1976, Gordon has kept his hard top tenor sax at home. In this latest refease, he is joined by another tenor player, Johnny Griffin, for a truly great encounter at Carnegie Hall. The tune is called "Blues Up and Down," a classic vehicle for what are known as tenor battles. Gordon and Griffin trade sax riffs, • first calmly and casually sniffing each other out. As the piece winds down, the speed and intensity of their exchanges grows to an incredible pace. They resolve their ferocious duelling by carefully edging their solos towards each other until they are finally playing the original theme together. It is probably one of the greatest jazz events to occur at Carnegie Hall in the late 70s. And we have it on wax. The rest of the album contains some fine moments. Side two features the late Eddie Jefferson, with his warm, open style, singing "Ruby, My Dear" and "It's Only a Paper Moon." The sets are fun and expansive, giving tribute, in retrospect, to Jefferson, a man and a voice that will be sorely missed. HIROSHIMA Lots of Japanese names too numerous to mention here.

The latest thing from England (where latest things often come from) is the revival of a curious, early 60s music called ska. Ska is the original reggae: rhythm and bl:ues tinged with that raunchy Jamaican influence. For those who are bored to no end by the deadbeat of reggae, ska swings. The Specials are seven men, dressed in the best of the New Wave tradition, who practice whB:t they preach. Their basic rhythmic structure is not unlike the rock/ reggae introduced to us by The Police. The Specials are more fundamental, though, with wringing sax lines and cheesy Farfisa organ. There is also more percussion here and the feeling is more open and jubilant than The Police. But the real fun comes with the vocals. The vitality of the subtly twisted Jamaican accent often forces you to sing along. "(Dawning of a) New Era" and "Stupid' Marriage" are catch tunes you can carry around in your head. The songs are produced by Elvis Costello, which explains some of what he has been doing for the last year. All in all, The Specials is a really special album and that's no joke.

In MSC track and field, the team is making good progress through individual efforts. The final scores in last Saturday's meet were: University of Northern Colorado 109\li, Colorado School of Mines 42 Yi, and MSC 6. According to Track coach Bob Grace, MSC's points came from: • Brad Gruenwald, third place in shotput with a 44-2 Vi throw. · • Tom Driver, fourth place in triple jump: 41-10¥.i. • Doug Haynes, fourth place in 60yard dash with 6.86 time. • Hal Fairbanks, fourth place in pole vault with a 13-0 jump. Grace said his most promising athlete is Hal Fairbanks. "Hal is a good pole vaulter who just hasn't got in the groove yet," Grace said. "He usually jumps 14, 14 \li all the time. I don't think anyone at the meet jumped that." Grace emphasized most of the team's honors will come out of individual efforts. "In all probabilities we're not going to win a track meet," he said. "But we will have some first, second, and third places, and the kids will come home with some medals."

The youthful MSC Women's Basketball team lost another two last weekend bringing their record to 1-11. "The majority of the team are freshmen and they've never played together before this season," Tina Brascovak, coach of the team, said. "They've got a lot of potential, but bringing it all together takes time to develop." Playing University of Denver Friday . for the first time this season, MSC lost by a close 68-63; Saturday they lost to Adams State, 81-69. High scorer for MSC in both games was Mary Dougherty with 21 points Friday and 16 on Saturday. A fourth year player, Dougherty was recruited from Arvada West High School, and has been on a scholarship for the last four years. The big difference between women's and men's basketball in college is that the women use the 30 second clock, according to Rich Chandler, a referee at Friday's game. "They don't have any back court violations because they're playing strictly against the 30 second clock," he said. "The clock goes off like in pro games, but it only happens about once a game." Chandler said there are excellent outside shooters in the game and most of the teams have quality guards, but a high quality big girl hasn't developed yet. "The women can get physical," coach Brascovak said. "I've had a starter out of the game for one reason or another because of injuries this season; they don't get those by not being physical." Brascovak said a lot of the losses so far were by close margins and the team will play better the second half of the season because they are getting used to playing together.
