~aclntyre drops out of CSU I
by Sal Ruibal
What a difference a day makes. On September 19, UCD was in its ninth month without a Chancellor. Across the creek at MSC, President Donald Macintyre was looking for greener pastures at Colorado State University. Twenty-four hours fater, Gene M. Nordby was named Chancellor of the University of Colorado at Denver and Macintyre announced his withdrawal from the CSU presidential race. Ironically, both announcements 路were made at meetings far from the Auraria campus. Macintyre made his intentions known at an路 Alamosa breakfast
''He has responded in a positive way to all issues that have surfaced.'' with MSC's governing board the Trustees of the. Consortium of State Colleges. There had been ._...- concern among several members of the board about Maclntyre's ability to concentrate on problems at MSC while competing for the top post at CSU. Trustee John Vigil was
"delighted" with Maclntyre's decision. "I'm very happy he has decided to stay," Vigil said. "His leadership is needed at Metro. Dr. Macintyre has been an effective and articulate administrator. He has responded in a positive way te all issues that have surfaced." In Colorado Springs, the Regents announced Nordby's appointment at their regular September meeting. Nordby, presently Vice President for Business and Finance at Georgia Institute of Technology, will become the chancellor officially on December 1. Nordby .has .been at Georgia since 1977. Prior to that he was Vice President for Administration and Finance at the University of Oklahoma, a position he attained in 1969. From 1962 to 1970, he was Dean of the College of Engineering at OU and also held appointments as Professor of Aerospace, Mechanical and Civil Engineering . He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of ~ Minnesota, majoring in civil ~ engineering, in 1955 and 1949 ~ respectively.

Barth·- 'lends an ear' to Auraria by Joan Conrow
" Everyone needs someone with whom they can be really close, who is not judgemental." With this belief in mind, Mabel Barth created the ·Listening Post, a place where she says Auraria students can be "heard and cared about." The idea for the Listening Post came to Barth last spring after attending a meeting at the St. Francis Interfaith Center on campus. "I noticed all the students and I thought, 'there's a lot Of people here who are working hard and taking classes who might need someone to talk to,' Barth said. 'That's when I went home and started to design a project to get me down here." The staff of the Interfaith Center ~ approved the Listening Post as a pilot § project and Barth began offering h~r ear ~ to students one day a week. She said she 0 was "surprised" at the response from students.

ASC experiments with plants I
by James R. Laursen The Auraria Student Center is experimenting with plants this semester in preparation for the future beautification of the building. / The plants are now in the cafeteria and lounge area of the center. They are being used to find out which varieties are best suited for the particular lighting conditions in the center. Located in areas of heavy use, the plants are also being exposed to cooking fumes and noise. Those that hold up to these conditions will be selected for use in the future beautification of the center. "This is just a sample of what you're going to see/ ' said AHEC Student Center Supervisor George Bailey: "We are planning on having over 200 plants on display in the center. " . Bids are now being considered from
<
various companies to determine who will supply the plants. "We are allocated so much for plants and we want to get the best deal for the money," Bailey said. Included in the contract bids will be a provision providing for the training of a student center staff member. This person will care for the plants so the center can stay within its budget, according to Bailey. "This place is going to look completely different. We plan on adding dry flower arrangements and more plant s when the contracts are issued," Bailey said. The Mission also will be decorated with plants when the bids have been approved and the proper plants decided upon. StairwelJs and low light areas will b"e decorated with dry flower arrangements when plans are final.

by James R. Laursen Racing down the interstate, a semitrailer passes, black smoke belching from the chrome exhaust, a rear trailer wheel ready to lose its tread. The rush of air pushes the motorcycle to the side of the road. A vacuum follows, pulling the bike along on an effortless cushion of air. As the truck moves ahead, turbulance buffets the bike from side to side. The off-ramp to Speer Boulevard approaches. The bike negotiates the curve flawlessly. Coming down Lawrence, the cars are lined up at the lot wesi of the student center, waiting for their parking stubs. Skirting past the car~, a yellowlined space at the end of a row of cars is crowded with Harleys, Suzukis and Hondas, and no waiting allowed. The motorcycle has long been a cheap means of getting around. In countries where gas prices are much higher lt is the primary mode of transportation. Until the gas crunch bikes were for bikers, not for the respectable average citizen. Times have changed and our need for cheaper transportation has forgone our prejudices and beliefs. Today motorcycles can be bought for about "$500 on up to $5000 for a fully dressed Yamaha 1100," says Dick Chase of Yamaha-Denver. The summer offers the greatest selection but, Chase says, "from now to January is. the best time to buy a bike because we have to get ready for next year's models." When buying a motorcycle for the first time, the experience of a friend or a good salesman· will help in selecting the type bike best suited for its intended purpose. Motorcycles can be safe and enjoyable if properly maintained and equipped. Some states require helmets and eye cover, but in Colorado helmets are optional. Leather gloves are helpful for long trips or where there is a lot of debris in the air. Long pants or boots help prevent burns from the exhaust pipe or hot motor. Commuting to school on a bike can be economical. Motorcycles get about 40 miles per gallon with an 1100 cc engine, or up to 120 MPG on a Yamaha 80cc, according to Chase. A bike requires little space for storage and can usually
be used nine months out of the year. During the winter, extra clothing such as snowmobile outfits, face covers on helmets and heavy insulated gloves are necessary. Flares and de-icer help during emergency situations. Finding a place to park on campus is .:.< not difficult. Stickers can be purchased § for $7 .00 per month, according to NQra ~ Tucker, AHEC Parking.

From the TOWER UCD Student Government News
''Budget potential source of conflict'' Probably the biggest task facing UCD's student government every year is the allocation of the student activity fee budget which averages about $121,000 annually. The budget also presents the biggest potential source of conflict. Invariably members of one or more of our programs or student organizations feel they have been shortchanged in the budgeting process. Frequently such claims are justified. In preparing this year's budget, the current Executive Council of student government bent over backwards to be as fair as possible. First, the overall outline of the budget was dictated by the choices of students who voted in the student-initiated referendum held at UCD last spring. And secondly, we granted funding to student organizations on the basis of their past levels of funding and their records of activity. We in- , creased funding for all but one student group and all major groups were granted funding within the narrow range of $2,000 to $2,300. The 1980-81 budget is summarized in the tables which follow. Members of the Executive Council were uncomfortable with one aspect of this year's budgeting process. After taking office on June 1st, we had only one month, during the break between spring and summer semesters, to put together the new budget. We believe this arrangement allows neither an adequate amount of time to hold the n~essary budgetary hearings, nor adequate

''Don't get sick!'' A few words of advice: Don't get sick; don't have an accident. This comes at midpoint of student government's investigation into our Health Insurance Plan. There is complete agreement among those querries that our's is a phenomenally inexpensive program and that is all that is good to be said about it. What this study has uncovered thus far is a plan which is potentially dangerous to the user, namely, the coverage is inadequate for what hospitals charge and the balance will be paid by the individual. (Bankruptcy is also an option!!) To begin with, the allowance for room and board is less than half of what area hospitals charge ($65.00/day or $135.00/day). With health care costs being what they are, the miscellaneous expense allowance co~d be spent within a week. Again, area hospitals suggest $35.00/day cost for an average stay (this includes all charges). Ironically, the two hospitals (University Med Cen- , ter and Denver General) that give indigent care will charge a patient according to the ability to pay (from 0 to 100 percent), unless the individual has an insurance plan, in which case the entire bill falls due. In a nutsh~ll, we still won't get something for nothing!! We pay $16. 75 a semester for health insurance and we have inadequate coverage. So, what, are the alternatives? What will be revealed in this column two weeks hence will be the costs of retaining the present plan and providing a major medical plan to supplement it, of scrapping the current plan and replacing it with comprehensive coverage, or giving up a health insurance plan altogether. The bottom line is that you and I as students will have to decide what we want. The column two weeks from now will provide some information for us to make a decision, and I encourage everyone to do some checking on their own. Mignon Murphy of the Student Health Center can provide information and insight. Sonny Wasinger Student Body President

Consequently, we are giving serious consideration to moving ahead the date of student government elections to provide for a more rational budgeting process and to facilitate a smoother transition between incoming and outgoing student governments.

1980 Conference on Vi~ Sword uses humor to make feminist points
Women march to ''take back the night''
By day I lived in te"or By night I lived in fright For as long as I can remember A lady don't go out alone at night. Holly Near
Gov. Richard Lamm made it official with a proclamation and an official seal, but more than 1200 women and sympathetic men made it happen. They took back the night and they took back the streets as well. · Thursday, Sept. 18, after being exho.r ted by Andrea Dworkin, feminist theorist and author, to fight back against pornography and violence against women, one of the largest demonstrations held in Denver left East High School and headed through some of Denver's most dangerous neighborhoods. The march was extremely well organized according to police officers who accompanied it. The coordinators for the National Conference on Violence Against Women tried to make sure there would be no problems. They had more than 30 volunteer "peacekeepers" who walked the sidelines with flashlights along the route. The Denver Police Department came out in strong support of the marchers. Two helicopters circled the darkest parts of the route with search lights. Officers on motorcycles stopped traffic at intersections and patrolled the boundaries of the march.
As the column of protesters turned onto East Colfax, the chanting grew to a roar. This was the section of the march they'd been waiting for. East Colfax is well known for its massage parlors, topless bars and pornography shops. At Sid King's, a bar with topless dancers, several women ran to the marquee and put stickers on it which said the place degrades women. A blonde woman in shorts, halter top and heels stood in the doorway of King's novelty shop. Laura LaForest described her job there as counter help. "I'm all for it," she said after hearing what the march was about. "Women have a right to do what they want. I like my job." LaForest smiled and watched the parade pass. The march ended downtown at the civic center, but the demonstration continued. After singing and chanting, women came up to the mi~rophone to speak of the violence they'd experienced. "I'd been taught to be afraid: taught to lock my doors," a woman said with a shuddering breath. "But I didn't think it would happen to me the night he sneaked in through my bathroom window and raped me." The woman wasn't alone in her experience or her fears, but that night was a step toward freedom from violence. Andrea Dworkin explained, "If we can take over the night once, we can do it again and again." L.W.
The new bride, dressed in a frilly homemaker's· pinafore, beams with delight at her masterpeice. "Like the steak?" she asks her frowning husband. "I boiled it myself." Betty Swords isn't very proud of that early cartoon, but then, every cartoonist, male or female, was doing that kind of sexist humor. It was 1967 when Betty Swords "clicked." That's when she found feminism. "I began to wonder why there were so few women cartoonists," she says. At that point women made-up one percent of the total number of cartoonists. The tonsensus at that time was· that women and humor don't mix - like oil and water. Why? Well, Swords says it was thought that women didn't have a sense of humor, they took everything personally, they were too subjective. . - In short, Swords says, "Women couldn't take a joke." She arrived at a different conclusion -after reviewing humor books for the Denver Post and examining the work of cartoonists (including herself.) "Women didn't make the jokes because they were the jokes.'' Scatter-brained housewives, inept at such mechanical wonders as the automobile (the woman driver) or motherly parasites feeding off the breaqwinner 's bank account for frivolous dresses were what Swords calls "humor's shorthand." "When I first started to speak on both women's rights and humor, I always started out with a series of jokes. Most of the audience would laugh and then I would ask 'Do you know what you are laughing at?" "You're laughing at the fact that women are dumb, they're lazy, they're poor drivers, they're more concerned about their breasts than their brains."
· And now, she says, the majority don't laugh anymore. Betty Swords' twenty-year plus career could fill two or three resumes. Countless articles on topics ranging from sexism to ecology have appeared in McCa/ls, Christian Science Monitor, The Denver Post and Writer's Digest. Over one thousand of her cartoons have appeared in publications all over the world. She has conducted many seminars and workshops on humor, as - well as being a spokesperson for the National Organization for Women (NOW). Cartooning became a logical way to earn money while she and her geologist husband travelled to _geological sites throughout the Southeast. In the ·1ate sixties there wasn't a market for feminist humor. "It's the easiest thing to say 'that's not funny,' ,, Swords says. "And a dumb man driver is not funny to the male editor.'' But later her feminist humor would appear in textbooks, calendars as well as magazines. Swords points proudly to a two-page spread on women politicians in Changing Times magazine. "I used every single old expression about women and turned them around,"'' she says. A communications seminar on the minority status of women led to Swords' conversion to feminism and her membership in NOW during its fonnative stages. "It took some guts, as a conservative in a sense, I mean, here I am a woman of a certain age - a mature woman - to publicly associate with it and work with it," she says. "I had to because I believed it." Her own respectable image - from her other affiliations and interests helped the fight.

Dworkin lashes out· at male domination
E
Andrea Dworkin is by no means a small-minded woman. She is a serious feminist theorist and author whose own experience with sexual abuse has made her travel the country forcing the issues of violence, pornography and male dominance over women into the top of the list ofwomen!s issues. Her keynote speech at the opening of the National Conference on Violence Against Women, Thursday, Sept. 18, was hard-driving and powerful. More than a few members in the audience squirmed in · their seats as time after time she drove her points home. There are seven strains of male power that exist, especially in pornography, according to Dworkin. The power of self, physical power, terror, naming, ownership, money and sex are the seven areas where men dominate women. Until recently, women haven't considered themselves as worthy as men. Physical power has long been a method of keeping women out of the mainstream of our culture. "Women are raised to be weak," Dworkin said. Women have also been raised to fear men. In drama, books, TV and history men have been biologically known as aggressive, antagonistic and genetically

Police officer ffnds empathy for marchers She stood quietly on the periphery of the crowd of women and literature tables ~ in the main hall of East High School. She carried a spray defense weapon, as did many of the woinen who gathered Thursday evening to hear Andrea Dworkin and to take over the streets. · But this woman was dressed in a pressed blue uniform and had a gun in her belt as well. Denver Police Officer Carol Rogers walked to the nearest table and picked up a brochure. She glanced around and went back to her post. She'd been scheduled for another off-duty assignment, but had recently been told her· assignment would be here "instead. "I think the organizers thought the women attending this evening would be more comfortable with a woman officer," she explained.
Officer Rogers became part of the police department for the same reasons many women seek job security. She got a divorce and found herself needing a steady income. She also understood what the issue of violence meant to women. It was something she saw .enough of on her job. ''What they've written about rape is true," she pointed to the pamphlet in her hand. "A woman I met on the job was raped. Her husband beat her up so she wouldn't report it to the police. He didn't want to be embarassed if his friends found out. That's not unusual at all." Rogers shook her head. Marching and demonstrating wouldn't change anything overnight, but it would help show that women are serious about fighting back, she said. L.W.
cruel. ''Apparently, God gave man a universally bad temper," Dworkin mused. Men have controlled language for centuries. Because of this women have been told they're weak, evil, emotional, frigid. "When a woman says yes, she really means no," Dwor~in said. Dwnership and money have been tools of power for men and unattainable for women. The power of sex is given to women to be used against them, often violently. "Women have sexual power ·because erections are involuntary. The man is not responsible for stimulation because it's provoked by a woman. Rape has been celebrated traditionally in song, story and poetry'," she exclaimed. After her speech, Dworkin sat quietly and pondered the changes that have occurred in the last seven years of her writing career. "It's getting worse, much worse," she shook her head. "Of all the states that have statutes permitting marital rape, 15 have now included cohabitation in those laws." ''Changing · society through legislation is okay, but slow. I prefer direct action. Speaking, writing, and mare.hes bring the problems into the public's view." L.W.

Older people face violence and neglect "Granny Battering" - one of numerous workshops offered by the National Conference on Violence Against Women, September 19 - investigated the little-publicized subject of adult abuse. ."We called it that to get your attention and also to make you aware of a syndrome that is just coming to public attention," said Catherine Pring, a consultant on aging for the Denver Commission on Aging. "We've begun to look at older ~ople and find physical and psychological abuse, neg~ect and financial exploitation." The two guest speakers, Sharon Olson, who "reorganized the social services of Denver to provide protection for
adults" and · Adreinne Casey, who is "very involved with counseling older women who are victims of abuse and sexual exploitation,'' were introduced by Pring. What followed was a spirited and concerned discussion on society's generally negative attitude toward the elderly; the role of the elderly in the family and the effect of increased mobility and longevity on that role; the lack of adequate funding and public awareness; and successful intervention in abusive situations. The group of 17 women - varymg in their age, dress and geographical backgrounds - were eager to hear about the • continued on page 10

"It's increasingly difficult to place some of the more violent type patients,,, Olson said. "Some of them literally have no place to go!'

In the interim, she said, abusive and violent types are "walking the streets," which "compounds the problem of preventing recurring abuse.,, "Long-term intensive care is not available in the volume that is needed,'' Olson said. As the workshop began to wind down, the audience shared with one another some of their personal experiences with the elderly and mentally ill. The general concensus was that more money needs to be provided to care for the old and infirm in our society. But, despite an emotional and sympathetic discussion of the problem, no solutions were reached. Maybe next year. J.C.

The grand prize winner of the contest will get a party with cake and champagne and a private showing of t he movie for friends on that date. · The winner will also get dinner for two at the Larimer Square Magic Pan restuarant. Runner-up prizes are a gift certificate from Le Chocolat and discounts at The Market. The movie, directed by Edoudard Molinaro, won international acclaim and was a 1979 Academy Award nominee. It is a delightful French comedy about two gay, middle-aged nightclub owners who have liv.ed together for 20 years.
