Rented lot trashed by drinkers p

by Tace Hedrick Auraria has rented one of its many parking lots to a local business, but so far the arrangement has subjected the lot to abuse. . Lot B is used· by Thirsty's, a recently ppened 3.2 bar. The condition of Lot B has provoked complaints about bottles, glass, and other trash being thrown there. Upon investigation, there was evidence of broken glass in the lot itself. The stretch of grass between the lot and the street is littered with beer and liquor ~ottles.

Bob Thompson, Supervisor of AHEC parking, said a complaint had been lodged with the bar "but the people of Thirsty's have only been there for a month. I think they're just taking a while to settle in and get things ~gether : ''

The bar rents the parking lot from AHEC for $800 per month, according to Raul Gomez, Director of AHEC Administrative Services. The contract gives Thirsty's nonexclusive use of the lot after 7 p.m. on weeknights, and all day on weekends. ~ It also calls for the maintenance of 0 the lot and the nearby grass area. ~ · - When Craig Caldwelet, one of the Ci owners of the bar, was contacted, he said that he had not yet heard of any com. plaints about the lot. According to Cald- weler, there is supposed to be a crew from

UCD to become center tor Hispanic grad program I

by Ondy Hosoya . t. The University of Colorado at ~n ver is launching a national progr~that will help train Hispanic graduate stu ents for careers in local government. The U.S. Department of Ho sing and Urban Development chose U 0 to 1 · coordinate the $2.5 million Hispanic .Field Service Program and six other tederal agencies are supporting the threeyear project. Ernesto Norte is the program director at UCO. He is employed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in the ~ Rocky Mountain region but is loaned to l}CD under an intergovernmental personnel assignment. . Onder Norte's direction, UCO will select 12 other colleges and universities for a nation-wide consortium by January 1981. The schools will be picked on the quality of their graduate programs in public administration or public affairs ·and their commitment to the Hispanic community. An important part of the program is recruiting graduate students, so UCO will also look at the schools applying to determine the number of students they are r~cruiting, the internships and fellowships they are planning and the cost break-down of all related expenses. A Hispanic advisory counsel will be

formed at each school chosen. The counsel will include local Hispanic administrators, university officials and Hispanic community leaders who will develop internships which will make students more marketable when they graduate. Public administration graduate programs prepare students for local government careers. The students will be given a specific project in communities with significant Hispanic populations and needs for managerial assistance. "Our objective is clearly to encourage employment of bilingual and bicultural students by the community, or to prepare the individual as a marketable public administrator," Norte said. ''There will be no lowering of requirements," he said, indicating that the program was not going to give anything away. Students interested in the program must state so on their applications to their respective graduate schools. HUD and_the other agencies supporting the program want Hispanic people in their management and may hire students on a permanent basis when they graduate, Norte said. The _agencies are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Levin looking for foster parents t

by Cindy Hosoya There is an active recruitment center operating in Denver, but instead of recruiting soldiers they're recruiting parents. The Foster Parents Recruitment Center is a state agency recruiting foster ~ parents for troubled children in several counties. The center's office is in the Capitol Hill Community Center, adjacent to Cheesman Park. It is a large, well-kept house, with trees shading a small, neatly clipped lawn and concrete ' park bench. The federally-:funded agency is part of the Law Enforcement Assistance Association., but most kids needing homes are victims rather than offenders. Jim Levin, recruitment coordinator, ._said the majority of the kids are abused. 'Many have run away from homes that were intolerable for them. When they leave, there are few places for them to go. Some go to temporary shelter facilities and crisis centers while others go to institutions and detention centers. "The best place for kids is with their ~families, but I recognize that can't always happen," he said. Many kids needing homes are poor, but many come from homes of professional people. Levin said economic background has little to do with the ~ p~oblems kids have. Parental neglect can

Its heavy German overtones, coqibined with the anti-drug theme of the conference, 'Provided some bad omens as I walked into the hilltop structure. • The fact that the conference-luncheon was scheduled for the Bavaria Room failed to curb my forebodings. Could this be the final solution, the antidrug uberalles? .. During my stint in Golden High School, the problem was smoking (tobacco smoking). Parents railed against the school administration in board meetings about the mounds of Marlboro butts out ~ back of the gymnasium, or the smokecongested bathrooms. ~ Eventually, some of the local civic leaders realized a' high use of drugs occurred in the high schools, too. In a memorable meetfug of the Golden Breakfast Optimists, one of the town burghers asked if there was a drug problem at the high school. "No, '' said Don, one of my high school compatriots. "I have no problem getting any." "My son says he can get any drug he wants in 15 minutes," said a man behind me as the assembled group sat down to a lunch of sauerbraten and strudel. " The paraphernalia exhibit, set on a table before a painted landscape of Bavarian mountains, contained over 50 different types of smoking accessories and beer can covers. A small head shop with the contents of this particular table would be thought understocked. ' A closer inspection of the pipes and bongs, though, yielded a far more interesting factor.

be emotional as well as physical. Foster children usually stay in foster homes about one year, but many stay longer. They usually leave when their family's problems are resolved. Teenagers leave for a variety of reasons. Some get married, some go to school and some return home. Teenagers, especially girls, are the hardest to place in foster homes, Levin said. Problems with school, drugs and sexual promiscuity are the concerns of many foster parents. Of the 380 foster homes in Denver County, only six take teens. The statistics are similar in the other surrounding counties. The center is looking for 100 homes for teens. Foster parenting does not require specialized skills, Levin said, and mainly minority homes are needed. Single persons can be foster parents if they meet the criteria for the county in which they live. It takes six to eight weeks to get certified and qualifications vary from county to county. All potential foster parents are interviewed and asked to take a physical. They must have an extra room in their house and outside income. State and federal funds financially support the foster child for the most part, and medical costs are covered by Medicaid, but emotional support is what kids need most. Foster care is a nurturing process, Levin said. He and his wife Judy, director of the recruitment center, have been

foster parents for more than 10 years. Jerry said he and Judy came out of the '60s ready to change the world, but soon decided to focus their attention closer to home. Dressed in jeans and a down vest, Jerry talked about ·his experiences as a foster parent, his eyes flashing with amusement and concern. The first kids he had got away with more than the kids he cared for later. "I learned their tricks," he said with a twinkle in his eye. He wants potential foster parents to understand that sheltering a child is a major part of foster parenting. Many children have been abused and have lost their self-esteem. Others are confused about their roles in life. Most have been unloved. "I like their company," Judy said. Her biggest concern as a foster parent is helping her kids like themselves and not feel guilty for having problems. The Levins agreed it's best not to have expectations about turning a life around. The main purpose of a foster parent is to provide a safe environment. They enjoy having teenagers in their · home, but their problems differ from foster parents of small children. "You can~t make rules you can't en·force," Levin said, "but kids need and want limits." Talking plays an important part in his philosophy_on raising kids. You have

Because it is so demanding, all members of a family should be involved in making· the decision of taking a foster child, Judy said. There are sacrifices, but for her family, the rewards outweigh the sacrifices. Being a foster parent to a troubled child helps you keep your perspective on things, she said. Who took the garbage out last night becomes unimportant.

Senatecontinued from page 1 "It's terribly important to improve communication among all levels," he added. "The Faculty Senate can have a role improving relations between the faculty and administration." Van Everen said he hopes the Faculty Senate, during his term, ''to have· have credibility, and to be considered the place by' faculty, administration, and students as where there are important.and relevant · things to faculty and their position and the school are being done." The Faculty Senate, Van Everen said, may be an option to a unionized contract negotiation set-up between the MSC faculty and administration. "In my opinion," he said, "a viable senate is the only alternative to collective bargaining."

Editorial Don't count on it! by Sal Ruibal If the Seventies were the "Me Decade," it appears the Eighties may well become the "You Can't Depend On It Decade." Here is a short list of things you can't depend on: 1. An RTD bus schedule. Top of the list for obvious reasons. 2. MSC College Bulletins. Winterim: now you see it, now you don't. 3. The Bronco Offense. Lord, how I've suffered over the years. I feel much better now that I have accepted · the inevitable. 4. Monthly VA checks. Anyone who has had anything to do with the VA knows the only thing you can depend on is frustration, anger and incompetence. Feel free to send in any additions to this list. We'll try to print them, but don't depend on it.

From the TOWER UCD Student Government News

''Are you Interested?~~ Wanted: Two people who are interested in this newspaper. UCD Student Government is seeking two people to serve on the Board of Publications which will oversee the operation of The Metropolitan. We need one additional student representative and one representative from the faculty or staff. Bylaws for the Board of Publications have not yet been written, so Board members will be grappling with the question of how much autonomy and how much accountability for the newspaper staff. Anyone interested in serviri.g on the Board should contact me, Mike Maxwell at 477-2117 or 892-1389 or attend a student government meeting. More on our campus newspaper in this article which first appeared in the UCD Student Handbook: For many years students at the University of Colorado at Denver published their own newspaper, The Fourth Estate: But, three years ago the newspaper became embroiled in a dispute with student government and The Fourth Estate was closed down in mid-year. Since then, UCD has been without a newspaper. A newspaper category was included in funding choices for voters in the student-initiated referendum last spring. The newspaper received l 60Jo of the votes and consequently the current student government has reinstated funding for a newspaper to represent UCD. Student Government decided to join with Metropolitan State College in funding The Metropolitan which is supported by MSC student fees and by advertising. The Metropolitan is a weekly newspaper with an established reputation for quality and responsibility. And while receiving no support from UCD in the past, The Metropolitan has consistently provided coverage of UCD events. Executive Council thought it wiser to support a viable existing newspaper at Auraria than to start a new publication which would be forced to struggle financially and which would compete with The Metropolitan. In return for UCD support, The Metropolitan will provide: greater editorial coverage .of UCD news, greater newspaper distribution at UCD buildings, space for a student government column in the newspaper, and represen tation on The Metropolitan 's governing board. Should UCD continue to support The Metropolitan next year, the name of the paper could be changed at that time to a name more representative of all three schools at Auraria. Metropolitan State College and the staff of The Metropolitan deserve credit ~or providing a valuable service to the Auraria community. UCD student government welcomes the opportunity to join in supporting this service in 1980.

Student Body Presidential Report

''MSC's 'Bizarre' social lite'' We all need positive reinforcement, including me. I want to thank the many students who have given me their support on these weekly articles. In some cases I am kind of sticking my neck out with these articles, but the fact of the matter is, I am here to represent the students and it is only right that the students know what is happening. This article enables me to communicate directly, rather than through the rumor circuits. And when I get plenty of positive reinforcement - when I know I have the support of the students on these things, I don't mind sticking my neck out even further. We were supposed to have the results of our health insurance investigation in this one, but there is a crucial meeting that will not be held until a week from now and we cannot consider ourselves finished until then. So, unfortunately, you will have to wait a week for the remaining info on the health insurance thing. If you were here last year, you will recall that when we ran for president, we promised to start a social life on campus, to get t_he students more involved than ever before, and to be a very active student government. Well, as far as involvement is concerned our student government now is the largest MSC has ever had, and it is continuously growing. You are invited to get involved if you think what we are doing is worthwhile. If you wish to get involved, please come and see me in Room 340 of the Student Center. Just ask for Sonny. As far as whether or not we are active, well, we are definitely building momentum in many directions. I will let you make the decision as to whether or not we are active. But do base it on comparison to past student governments here, if you will. That brings me to the other item - a social life; a campus life. Have you heard about the Halloween BIZARRE? One night about three months ago I was laying in bed thinking, "Now, how do we start a social life on campus?" After much deliberation, I came up with the idea of the Bizarre. The Halloween Bizarre will take place on Saturday, October 25th from 6 pm to Midnight in the Auraria gymnasium. After three months of hard work on the part of several people (our Special Events Coordinators), it looks like what was a small dream will be a big reality. Not only will the Halloween Bizarre be the biggest event in the history of Auraria or MSC for that matter, it will also be the biggest damn Halloween party in Colorado and probably this part of the country. The number of tickets we can sell will be limited because of the size of the gym, so if you want to take part in this party, and believe me, it is going to be one fun party, then l highly recommend that you get your ticket(s) right now. Don't put it off one day. If you are a student the ticket will be only $4.00. If you are not a student, it will be $5.00. If you wait and buy your ticket at the door (if they are not already sold out), it will be $5.00, student or not. You don't have to wear a Halloween costume, but we will be giving out several very nice prizes for the best costumes. Also, the beer will be free and it's "all you want to drink." There will be dancing the night away because we will have two live bands! (That's a lot better than having a dead band, don ' t you think?) And not only that, but there will also be booths that have Halloween Carnivaltype games. These will be sponsored by the clubs who participate, so that they can raise themselves some sorely needed mQney; therefore, if you are a member of a club, and your club has not mentioned anything about a booth to you, you may want to get on the president of the club's case about it or something. You can get a ticket today, because -even as you read this article they are on sale at a table in the main corridor of the student center and also in our friendly neighborhood student government office in Room 340 of the student center. Like I said, you better get your ticket(s) now before it's too late. This party is going to be a blast. It's going to be so fun it's ridiculous. There are only a few rules: I) NO SMOKING in the

gym, and that one will be strictly enforced (that's so we can have more dances in the future, because cigarettes ruin the floor). 2) No violence. You get violent and you will get thrown out so fast it will make your head spin and you won't get a refund. 3) No dope. 4) No being a wallflower: it's time for you to start socializing with · your fellow students. 5) No elephants. ' Also, we need volunteers to help us set up the gym for this event on the day of th~ event. It'll be fun, so volunteer. Plus it means you will get a complimentary (free) ticket. If you wish to volunteer, then see my brother Greg in the student government office in the student center. Or leave a note in his box. If the Bizarre is a success, then you can count on many other events for the student body. This is only the beginning. We are now talking about bringing a: rock group called Pablo Cruise to campus next month in concert! We wish to hold more parties for the students, too. And more concerts. And whatever else we can think of that would be fun. Hey, you don't even want to miss out on the Bizarre. People are going to be talking about this party for along time to come. Please let me hear from you. Our extension here is 3253 (prefix is 629) and I've already stated the locatiol'I of the student government office a couple of times in this article. Keep reading the article - I've got more interesting things coming up in future issues of the Metropolitan. Have a dynamite week! Sonny Wasinger

Drugs continued from page 5 the habit - ·but now he's lapsed back... ; you're from Arvada West? Did you see the presentation we had there?" Both of the girls muttered -they hadn't seen the anti-drug show the task force brought to the suburban high school. They dug into their sauerbraten before another question. The two represented the majority of ; the crowd: high schoolers out for lunch. Most were of the 'we've got school spirit,' porn-porn girl prototype at their yearbook-look best. Instead of reading the informational packet given to each attendee, most talked to others from the varied Denver suburban schools represented at the conference. As for media, representatives of Denver papers and the radio-TV crowd filled one table. Another table held a group of editors from the suburban Sentinel newspaper chain. Except for The Metropolitan faction, all the media sat to the left of the room, the students to the right. Just before the apple streudel, the featured speaker - Dr. Marsha Keith Schuchard - took the podium. I put away my 1979 juvenile crime arrest statistics for Jefferson County (which in~~ eluded 172 for narcotic drug laws, 27 for fraud, and two for murder and manslaughter) and whipped out my notepad for the speech. After a while, however, I noticed two strange occurances. First, I received no strudel. I became only slightly per·' turbed until I figured out, secondly, why I went dessertless. Except for myself, a few electronic media persons, and the Sentinel editors, an audience of news media took no notes. All the high schoolers - supposedly newspaper persons at their institutions sat straight up in their chairs, empty dessert plates in front of them, committing none of the presentation to paper. With notes, no dessert. Jesus, who are these folks, anyway? "Jefferson County," Schuchard said, "is an all-American county. You have the same problem (with drugs and youth) as the rest of the county.'' After this Schuchard identified the evils of drugs, specifically marijuana, and possible effects on youth. Among her points, as amplified in her book Parents, Peers, and Pot, were usage rates among teenagers in some areas reaching 75 to 80 percent; the "amazing" public ignorance of a Nobel Prize ·winner telling the U.S. Senate of marijuana having a half-life of six weeks in the body; and habitual mari. juana users' 'drifting tothe bottom of the society." Her most amazing facts, though, came from two 1976 studies showing a lowering of testosterone (the major masculinizing hormone) in "healthy adult males." (Schuchard failed to note, though, the mention in her own book of , no testing on youth concerning this.) "With regular smokers (of marijuana)," she said, "testoral levels decrease. With boys, there is a reduction of development. .. the fullness of the body, the competitive drive .. .that separates the boys from the girls on the soccer field." Looking back, most of the guys I knew were smoking marijuana in high school used to have some of those characteristics. They were, for the most part, small, thin, and pale. Of course, some of the straight laced square nurds were small, thin, and pale. ~. continuted on page 12

There's a whole new spirit catching on all over town. And it's really something to be proud of. Instead of griping and grousing about the air pollution, traffic jams and lousy parking, you're doing something about them. You're kicking the old jump-in-thecar-everytime-I-gotta-go-somew here habit and jumping on a bus instead. You're taking your bikes. Forming carpools and vanpools. You're rollerskating. Walking. Skateboarding. Name it and you're doing it. And you employers are catching on, too. Companies like Rockwell

International and Coors have started vanpools. Mountain Bell subsidizes employee bus passes. Safeway and King Soopers sell RTD tokens and passes to the public. Albertsons sells tokens. And literally dozens of companies big and small are also helping by subsidizing bus passes and organizing carpools and vanpools for their employees. So even though this is an ad for RTD, it's really a pat on the back for you. Because whether you're catching The Ride - or your own solution - you're catching the spirit. Way to go. ·

from the

Power to the people

by William A. Struble Many people have lived with cheap energy costs for so long they now have trouble adapting to expensive energy and must decrease usage. According to Gary Mundt, an aide to Representative Pat Schroeder, passive solar energy could be a solution for some people. Passive solar is an energy system where, with small innovations and the home structure, heat is collected from the sun. Two popular forms of passive energy are adding either windows or an exterior (or Trombe) wall to absorb the sun's heat, Mundt said. Persons building neighborhoods should take into consideration the positioning of homes to get the most energy, Mundt said. Mundt gave an example of the ancient Pueblo Indian civilization of Mesa Verde, who built their cliff dwellings to best use the sun's heat. During the winter, the sun shined into openings in the dwellings, thus heating them. During the summer, the sun was higher in the sky, leaving dwellings shaded. A few years ago, Mundt said, he invested in a greenhouse kit for about $1800, and received a tax credit. He added that under many conditions a person can now receive tax credit, after installing some form of solar energy system. The greenhouse is attached to his home's south exterior wall, which was painted black to absorb more heat. He said he has saved on heating costs for the home because a fan in the basement window pulls heat from the greenhouse. During the winter, it can be 20 degrees outside and still remain 80 degrees inside the greenhouse.

The greenhouse is constructed of a "heat trap," two layers of plastic separated by a layer of air pressure produced from a fan, Mundt said. Home owner Dan Gregory said he decided to buy a solar-heated home because he projects the cost of optional energy sources will be increasing in the future. Gregory said through solar usage heating both his home and water supply, he has little dependence on outside energy sources. The only energy exception is electricity needed to run parts of the solar equipment, the appliances, and other sections of the home. Gregory said solar energy products in the near future will be of ever increasing demand as the price of alternate energy keeps rising in price. Many people, Gregory said, have a misconception that solar energy products will continue to decrease in price especially if they are mass produced. Two areas continually increase in cost, he said, labor needed in construction and material costs such as copper. Gregory explained construction of solar heating involves a lot of copper pipe throughout the house, down to the basement, and on the roof. There are 14 solar panels on the roof, he said, each with a copper insert two feet wide and five feet long. Another reason for buying the home, Gregory said, was its resale value being higher than a cQnventional home. Gregory said he has had no serious problems with the system, but it took about a year and a half to make it work properly. There seems to be a lot of fly-bynight solar experts, he said, explaining Âˇwhen he decided on a solar contracting

firm, it brought in subcontractors to do the plumbing, electric work, and main installing. It was evident, he said, there were so many groups involved in building the system that when problems occurred no one could work together. One of the worst things that happened, Gregory explained, was the subcontractor doing the main solar installing went bankrupt. This company had offered a five year warranty, he said, explaining that if a serious problem would have come about he would have been stuck with it. Gregory said every time it hails, he prays the tempered glass covers on the solar panels will not break. The panels are at a 65 degree angle, beneficial in that hail is deflected without panel damage. He said the main fluid which runs through the system is comparable to motor oil. An advantage to oil over any other fluid is that it can be heated to over 500 degrees F, and will not freeze at temperatures as low as 100 degrees F below zero. During the early morning, the system basn 't bad time to heat up the storage tank, he said, and so the water from the heating system is much colder. The best time to take a bath - or do the dishes - is during the night when the tank has heated. He explained that the hot water heater has a coil running through the storage tank heating the water. The 800 gallon storage tank will, on an average winter day, heat from 90 degrees F to 145 degrees F, Gregory said. He said the addition of the solar unit cost him about $12,000, and he also received a $2,200 tax credit. "The greenhouse has been very enjoyable for me and my husb~d"Holly

Cobb said. She said she grows an array of plants year around in the greenhouse. This winter season she plans to grow tomatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables. Besides growing plants, Cobb said she and her husband do most of their relaxing, eating, and projects in the greenhouse. _ The greenhouse, with a solar panel built into the lower half of the main wall pulls heat in to a closed area wher~ barrels filled with water absorb and retain heat. She said the plants are watered by a graywater system. Cobb said that there has been a marked increase in the heat supplied to the house by the solar house attached to the south side. There is a line bringing the used bath â&#x20AC;˘ water from the upstairs bathroom into the greenhouse, storing the liquid in a 50 gallon barrel, she said. A mechanically controlled system waters the plants, Cobbs said. She added this is very convenient when she likes to leave for the weekend. The Colorado Office of Energy Conservation said Colorado taxpayers can take advantage of the highest tax credits in the country for installing eligible solar and other renewable energy systems. The passage of new state and federal legislation this year has made it possible for taxpayers in some cases to claim up to 60 percent of the costs in a system, the office said. A tax credit is a sp_e cified amount subtracted from owed state or federal income taxes. Taxpayers, according to the office, can never exceed the total amount of income tax due in credits claimed. On a state level taxpayers living at a residence for at least six months can claim tax credits for a system. A taxpayer can claim up to 30 percent on a state level,_and 40 percent on a

federal level of the cost of eligible systems. They can also claim credits for the first $10,000 expended, and maximum allowable state credit of $3,000 and a federal credit of $4,000, the Office of ~Energy Conservation said. The tax credits apply to expenditures made by the taxpayer on his residence between January l, 1980 and January l, 1986. However, on a state level, unused credits may be carried five years after the ~expenditure was made and, on a federal level through the 1985 tax year. The office stated passive solar systems are excluded from federal credits, but state credits are available. Some forms of passive systems are wood stoves, greenhouses, Trombe walls, :.-and heat pumps. . The problem in getting tax credits for passive solar systems is a certain part of a house is needed for structural purposes besides that of solar renovations, said Mark McCray, field representative of Western Solar Utilization. 1 Giving an example, he said greenhouses can supply a lot of heat energy to a home, but it is hard to determine tax credits on a structure which also supplies more living space. The Department of Revenue is working on a procedure to determine 路 what is tax creditable, he said. McCray said the results would be out by mid-November, so taxpayers can make their claims. It must be stressed persons must first look at conserving energy, and reducing energy costs, before they ever .-r even look into solar energy. He said many people in the future will probably be adding domestic solar water heaters to their homes. Most of these heaters can supply up to 65 to 75 percent of the home's water needs for about $2,500 to $4,000. The system ~ would involve solar collectors on the roof

or on a piece of available land. He said that the cost is not too high when the tax credit brings the cost down to about $900.

There really is no type of consumer guide available to assist consumers in their choosing a system, but the best solution is to talk with a lot of solar

organizations before making a decision, he said.

Redford's debut extraordinary by S.K. Werges

After almost two decades as a motion picture, stage and television actor, Robert Redford has made his debut as a director in Ordinary People. People, starring Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore and Tim Hutton, is a cinematic transcription of the novel by Judith Guest. Guest's novel has been on The New York Times best seller list for more than five months. The public has seen a rash of best sellers made into films, but People demands some notice. Ordinarily, a film can be seen as an avenue on which actors, scenery and flashy effects rush out at the viewer. Rarely do the engineers of the film-ways (directors) shine enough to capture your · attention. When watching a film by Stanley Kubrick or Francis Coppola, one feels as if they are being led through a maze of emotional rushes. Surprisingly, Redford comes close to creating a film that touches the viewer on that level. People is a film about behavior in the Jarrett family, a group of people whose lives are kept in 'perfect' order. That order is challenged by the efforts of

.\ Robert Redford discusses. with Mary Tyler Moore an upcoming scene demonstrating her inability to cope emotionally after a major tragedy strikes her family in Ordinary People.

a young man, Conrad Jarrett (Tim Hutton) to communicate through the fog of social structure in which he is raised. Conrad is obsessed with the accidental death of his older brother. The role is not an easy one, requiring a transition from suicidal paranoia to an emotional anchor for the rest of the family. Conrad's mother is played by Mary Tyler Moore. Mrs. Jarrett is a sociallyconscious 'advertising age' mother who idolized her older son. Through Redford's direction, Moore succeeds in adding a new dimension to her acting abilities. Donald Sutherland is the father, a virtual Rock of Gibraltar, always caring and calm. Judd Hirsch (Taxi), also shows us another facet of his abilities far removed from his video work. As Dr. Berger, Hirsch breaks the stereo-typed image of psychiatry with humor and common sense.

Of all the admirable attributes of Ordinary People, however, Redford's emergence as a director is the most outstanding. His film is marked with smooth transitions and a pace that springs out a' the viewer at unsuspecting moments. Redford seems happy behind the camera. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, he was asked if he ever got tired of the tedious job of editing the film: "No, for me I know it's right when I feel this twinge behind my nose. _ When you've looked at a scene over and over and you still like it. It's like driving up to my place in Utah. There's never any time when I get tired of it... and I know it is good." Redford gets an 'A' for his director- · ial debut. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain the quality found in 01dinary People in his next films.

Loggins alive, Mitchell DOA by Emerson Schwartzkopf

. "

Reviewed this week: KENNY LOGGINS ALIVE/Kenny Loggins/Columbia C2X 36738 P ARIS/Supertramp/A&M SP-6702 SHADOWS AND LIGHT /Joni Mitchell/Asylum BB-704 Ever since the advent of long-playing albums, recordings of live performances have remained the music industry's odd traveler. Live albums used to suffer from twe deterrents to record buyers. First, performances by modern artists tend to be lengthy, and unsuited for a 20-minuteper-side record. More importantly, .material in a live concert is usually available on previous recordings making the albums appealing to zealots. However, 1974's Frampton Comes Alive forever altered the concept of live albums. U&,ing an almost unheard-of two record package by, at that time, a reasonably obscure British rock musician (Peter Frampton), the album became one of the largest.selling records in the Seventies. Since Frampton, two record live albums are the staple of artists in the entire realm of popular music. From Neil Young to Earth, Wind, and Fire, from Willie Nelson to Thin Lizzy, the two-

platter set is the closest simulation of a live concert. The latest live offerings this year. come from Kenny Loggins, Supertramp, and Joni路 Mitchell. Although the three differ in style, all share the double-record concept: All three also share the process of an extensive re-engineering of their live recordings to enhance the sound on the albums. What a listener hears on these discs is music .reproduced better on a home stereo system than at a concert. The sound becomes slicker, but less exciting than at the actual performance (as reproduced on audience-recorded illegal bootleg albums). Caveat emptor.. Of the three, Kenny Loggins Alive utilizes the post-performance electronic wizardry to produce a pleasant, smooth album. Re-recorded onto digital masters, A live 's sound is one of a crisp, professional performance. With the re-mix, Alive may sound too authentic to be a true representation of a Loggins' performance, but the album is still a good reproduction of a concert. An 路added bonus for Loggins fans (besides a July 1980 recording of the Caddyshack theme, "I'm Alright") is a recording engineered for low volume play - thus eliminating the need to have a home sound level equalling the decibel .

blast in a sports arena. Supertramp's Paris enjoys the benefit, if not. of sophisticated sound reproduction, of a continuous performance recording (Alive's material was taped over a two-year span). The result is an actual feel of a live concert, with no sound level changes between song~ to mask the mixing of material from dif-

ferent performances. Also, as with Loggins, Supertramp's Paris is a collection of " greatest hits," with the British band performing such notables as ' 'Dreamer,'' ' 'School,'' "Breakfast in America," and "The Logical Song." Once again, the sound may be too continued on page 12

continued rrom page 11 true to be real, but Paris contains a performance to please longtime Supertramp fans ... and recent converts. Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light enters her into the club of popular artists releasing two double-albums of live material in recent years (the other two are KISS and David Bowie); and, as with her earlier Miles of Aisles, Shadows and Light chronicles her move into another music style.

That new style, however, is one of the major problems of Shadows and Light. The word for Mitchell's new jazzrock-bop style is hip, and the style works against her on this album. · The keystone of Mitchell's new hipness is the sustaining bass runs of Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius; and, herein lies one of the album's major faults. In order to highlight the bass, Pastorius's performance is given a predominant sound on the remixing.

Comedy starts off the season at Bonfils The comedy "Sly Fox" by Larry Gelbart will open the Bonfils Theatre's 1980-81 mainstage season on October 8. Larry Gelbart, best known for his television work, including the series "MASH," bas adapted Ben Johnson's "Volpone" into a turn-of-the-century farce set in San Francisco. Robert Wells is the director, with sets by John Ross and costumes by Carol Ramsdell. "Sly Fox" opens Oct. 8 and will play Oct. 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 and l':'Jov. 1.

The result is disaster. Pastorius dominates all songs he plays on, overshadowing at times even Mitchell's voice. Some of the other instrumental backers disappear under Pastorius 's forceful playing. The rest of the mix on Shadows and Light is disappointing in light of the electronics used on Alive and Paris. Voices and instruments are set at uneven volume levels - and, on three songs, the sound is straight off an improvised cassette boot-

New gymnastics team .. formed at MSC -~ b~y_B_ru_c_e-,-Ril_路 __:ey7--:----=---;----'I At a recent practice, hand-springing across exercise mats, twirling and somersaulting off of high bars and still rings, and straining on parallel bars, members of MSC's new gymnastics team honed ,: their skills. Coach Eric Fulcomer, enthusiastically looking over .,his team, said he believes the squad has all the ingredients for success. "This is a coach's dream,'' he said. "Everyone is here to learn. There's not one loafer among them. They function -~ the way a team is supposed to. Everyone helps one another. I have facilities that are second to none. I have an assistant coach (Jeff Johnson) who knows the sport and who just walked in here and volunteered his time. What more could a .._ coach ask for.',. In one month the team's numbers doubled through word of mouth. Fulcomer said there are some "beginners and topnotchers." "We have some very talented people. Dave Graves and Joe Glenn, who's a former state champ; are our best all-rounders," Fulcomer said. "Rich Gardner and J.D. Dominguzare our best people on Palmerhorse. I think all four are capable of being finalists in the' nationals." "We also have people just starting out and they have the talent," ~the coach added. "All we have to do is L I_ _ _ _

develop it. In a few years we should have an excellent team." Fulcomer went on to say the team got a late start in practicing for the coming season. "Ideally it takes about six months to get a team in shape. We just started practicing in September,'' he said. "I didn't even know we were going to have a tcram until July. Had I known about it in the spring, we could have practiced all summer. But I don't want to create excuses. We're practicing and we're getting ready." Even though there is no women's team, a handful of women worked out with Fulcomer's team - and he is happy to have others interested in gymnastics. Jane Kober, Director of Women's Athletics, said the reason for no women's team is because there are only two schools in the region at MSC's level having women's gymnastics programs, and, thus, very Jittle competition to justify creating a team. Fulcomer is still looking for people interested in joining the team, and says there is still scholarship money available. Anyone interested should show up at practice at the Auraria HPER gym on any Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday between 4 and 6 p.m. The team's first and "one of the biggest meets in the country,'' will be held during the first week of December.
