president, called an "emergency meeting to open channels of communication" on Feb. 19. The meeting turned into a shouting match when Faculty Senate members, affirmative action administrators and angry students joined the president in an emotional debate. The scene was the latest public development in a battle wh,i ch Flemon says began 18 months ago at "a secret dean's meeting." Though the Feb. 19 meeting was the last public confrontation, a paper battle continues with ammunition in the form of memos frantically flying between the .MSC Faculty Senate, Macintyre, Moland and Flemon. Problems between Moland and-Flemon and the Faculty Senate began last summer. A summer interim committee from the Faculty Senate was formed to straighten out faculty salary problems which arose when faculty members began. working without a clear-cut contract.

Offfcetowerandcondos replace parking lot by Karen Breslin The parking lot on the corner of Speer and Lawrence Streets (adjacent to the UCD Tower building) is being replaced by an office tower and condominiums. '\.. The land was purchased from the Denver Urban Renewal Authority by Larimer Street Ventures for $290,000. The developers plan a 12-story office tower, a second story deck with restaurant, thirty condominiums, and an elevated walkway connecting the new structure to the " · Dravo complex. · ·~ UCD sought ownership of the land, submitted a bid, but was turned down by DURA, according to Keith Asplin, assistant to the chancellor of UCO-. UCD failed to receive the backing from the Colorado Commission on Higher ,. Education or the Auraria Board (respon1 sible for all Auraria construction and development) for purchase of the land. ''The CCHE and the Auraria Board had reservations about whether the CU Regents would sell the land (and relocate across Speer Boulevard) or plan to build separate campus for UCD on the land," Asplin said. DURA, Asplin said, is responsible for selling the land for "the best public use." UCD had planned a landscaped, elevated park and limited parking space for the

land. "DURA wasn't convinced that we would ever do anything with the land. "It was the last piece in the Skyline Development, they (DURA) wanted it sold and done with," Asplin said. These factors, coupled with a lack of support from the CCHE and the Auraria Board, convinced DURA private development would be best, Asplin said. In the past the Regents have clung to the historical ties of the Tower Buildin~. and· restricted efforts to relocate, Asphn noted . Regent sent iment now favors relocating to a single facility on the central Auraria campus. The Auraria Board has submitted a proposal to the Joint Budget Committee to fund a replacement facility for UCD on the Auraria side of Speer Boulevard.

·auest Editorial New draft proPosal: let the buyer (and publi~) beware

t,

by Ed Kraus A Pentagon advisory board recently unveiled a new plan for reviving the draft. Labeled "try it before you buy it," the system calls for a mandatory six months active duty, consisting of three to four weeks of "military orientation" plus basic and advanced training. At that point, the draftee would be given two choices - active or reserve duty. Those choosing active duty would be required to spend three years as a member of any branch of the service, followed by three years of reserve duty. The committment to reserve duty would extend the stint in the service an additional seven-and-one-half to nine-and-one-half years beyond the initial six month orientation. · The boys at the Pentagon are apparently suffering from Chrysler fever - promising pseudo-alternatives disguised as the all-American deal. The "try it" part of

[

the plan is obvious enough - six months of military orientation. The "before you buy it" part is obscure. The only choice involved is whether a draftee wants his life controlled for six or ten years. But, trying to think along the lines of the advisory board, headed by Louis J. Conti becomes frightening. Conti stated, "The all-volunteer force was intended for peace time accessions only. It was never intended to meet the demands of war." The last time I heard, we were.at peace. What do you think would happen to that peace if the Pentagon had a few million boys at their disposal for six to ten years at a clip? Unfortunately, this plan seems to be just another attempt by the Pentagon to ride Reagan's cresting military wave. "Try it before you buy it." Is it a viable concept? Just ask anyone who knows someone who "bought it" in Vietnam.

Letters The letter which you published in the last issue of THE METRO POLITAN cannot go unanswered. Not only is it appropriate to discuss values in Curriculum Committee proceedings, one cannot escape it. Values enter into decisions all the time. Whether one calls such ideas as 'All men are created equal,' or that 'women should be able to vote,_' or that 'there should be freedom of speech,' or that 'there should be bi-lingual education,' or that 'it is better to have ROTC courses taught here rather than in Boulder,' somewhere "rights" (something that is correct, just or proper), or "values" (importance, general worth, or usefulness), or "morals" (pertaining to issues of right and wrong) , will influence the decision-making process. Inherent in the statement, "people's moral beliefs should not have anything to do with the policy making of the college,'' is a moral judgement of what is right, a. value statement of what is important, and a consideration of rights by stating what is proper. Also, please do not confuse religion with morals. They are not synonyms. There are two good reasons for discussing values surrounding ROTC curriculum. 1) Curriculum Committee hearings are the only forum for student input. If the students have any criticism of curriculum prop.osals whether it be prerequisites, course content, or values, they need to be listened to and debated. ROTC is no exceptio~. 2) I did not bring the issue up, the Army ROTC did. One statement that has become a constant in education is that both sides of an issue have to be

Recently I was in a situation where campus security was needed. However, the number is not easy to find. Finally after calling numbers listed under University o( Colorado, Auraria and other wrong numbers a small sticker was noticed. "Auraria Public Safety" was barely visible. Most of the letters were scratched off and faded. This incident poses several questions. How accessible are the police? How up to date is the security information to students? Are there emergency phones? If so, where? New. students come to this campus every semester. How are they to know the number to call quickly? Some students have classes ending as late as 11 p.m. The lights are turned off making the campus a potentially dangerous environment. The lack of lights and emergency phones-seems especially evident in the South Classroom area and around the church. Many of us are concerned a bout our safety . -Something has to be done a bout improving communication to the campus police and improving general puelic safety.

presented. Every professor will have a personal bias, but . the curriculum must be planned and presented as objectively as possible. ROTC teaches morality, MS 203, but it does so from one side only. According to the ROTC's Advance Sheet, Nov. 6, 1979, the Objectives include "Task: Defend the profession of arms as a necessary and moral occupation," and " Standard: The student must be able to counter the moral arguments against bearing arms." The words "defend" and "counter" are not the same as discuss and substanti"ll.te your own opinions. A particular moral philosophy is being supplied, and the -students are required to defend it. We may as well let ITT, or Exon, or the KKK or some other group come use our facilities and offer college credit when they teach their particular management philosophy or espouse, a particular social theory of racial hierarchy. Finally, by condemning the proceedings because outside speakers were there or because of a perceived threat from the Moral Majority, one effectively isolates this committee from the rest of the higher education community, not to mention from the rest of the world. (Remember .the Copernican revolution?) Mr. Lyons reminds me of the ROTC student who said that the ROTC has no relationship to the military. The way in which we discuss this issue and ultimately take a stand on it will manifest itself in Congress and affect foreign policy. Donald P. Gaeddert, ASMSC Curriculum Committee

Recently I was subjected to a survey/ questionaire in a class. The survey was done by the women' s center at Metro. For an organization devoted to fighting sexism and male chauvinism I found the survey insulting, anti-male and sexist towards men. Two sections were devoted to men only and women only. The questions in the women's section were geared towards a woman's reaction to certain sexist practices by men. The questions devoted to men were why they practiced these same things. In so doing, the questions allowed no other alternative for the men to answer than " none of the a bove" applied to them. Therefore to myself and other members of the class we found the questionaire was geared to make men feel sexist and less than human. So come on women 's center, get your act together and stop playing reverse sexism . 1 1, . ·,-. · .-.-.-.-.-, · .-. . .-.- . . ; . · . . . . 1

News Faculty Senate okays AF-ROTC Approximately 33 students will save about $100 each in tuition costs, and credit for the classes will be counted as residence rather than transfer credits if the AF-ROTC program is added to the MSC curriculum. MSC would also gain additional FTE (full time equivalent) students. FTE figures are used by the Colorado legislature to appropriate funds to the institution.

by Joan Conrow

A proposal to include Air Force ROTC courses in the MSC curriculum was overwhelmingly approved by the Faculty Senate March 12. The proposal was considered by the Senate after the MSC Joint Board of Curriculum vote ended in a deadlock February 24. The curriculum committee - composed of nine faculty and nine elected students - allowed two days of open forum discussion on the proposal before voting five to four in favor of the program. However, because the vote was split between the faculty and the students on the committee, the MSC Faculty Senate was asked to make a recommendation on the proposal. Don Gaeddert - an MSC student and member of the curriculum committ~ told the Faculty Senate students had voted-against the proposal because they wanted "more time to deal with the issue." Gaeddert also voiced concern about "accountability" because the Air For~e­ Reserve Officer Tra\ning Corps courses would be taught at the University of Colorado - Boulder. "There is no formal mechanism to review programs taught at CU," Gaeddert said. He also said there were no "formal mechanisms" to control the quality of the faculty teaching the courses because they will not be based on the Auraria campus. Gaeddert also expressed concern that the standards of MSC would be "lowered" by giving academic credit to ROTC courses. He said the instructors in the AF-ROTC program do not have doctoral deg rees , but would be teaching philoso phy, history and management classes. MSC instructors who teach those courses generally have doctoral degrees. However, a Senator made the point · that most of the AF-ROTC students are in the aerospace department where none of the instructors have a Ph.D. It was also mentioned that instructors in military academies rarely have doctoral degrees. Another senator mentioned MSC has been accepting AF-ROTC courses taken at UC - Boulder as elective transfer credits.

However, Gaeddert told the Senate that, for many students, the issue is more than enrollment figures and tuition savings. He said, for many, the issue of the military on campus is a philosophical and moral issue. ·

school's registration. Currently, MSC students wishing to enroll in the classes must register through the Office of Continuing Education. The AF-ROTC program is not asking to be located on the Auraria campus, as is the Army-ROTC program, which was approved last year.

Gaeddert also said that many students objected to the ROTC recruitment mailings from the department of military science. But the Senate - commenting that the school ·could use the enrollment figures and that it is "preferable to allow the ROTC on campus than to relegate it to the military academies" - passed the proposal with only a few dissenting votes. The proposal will now be considered by Stanley Sunderwirth,. acting vice president of academic affairs. Gaedden said some members of the curriculum committee plan to formally appeal the Faculty Senate's recommendation.

DASFA's activities. It also publishes The wonder and amazement which lingers on after reading or watching Das/ax, a monthly fanzine. science fiction has made the subject a ·1 "A fanzine is a magazine consisting of worldwide pastime. I ' fact and fiction , that is written by Many science fiction admirers call amateurs," explained Thompson . "A themselves "sci-fi " fans but Donald prozine is the same except it's written by Thompson, an MSC ; professionals. Discover is a prozine."

,

This five-day extravaganza will open it's doors on September 3 and about 5,500 fans are expected to welcome it. Many events are planned for Devention II . There will be four guests of honor, two professional science fiction authors and two fanzine writers. Then, the Hugo awards always draw attention. A blank envelope is opened and a talented person is awarded a statute of a rocketship for being the best writer, actor, or artist in the science fiction society. Two Hugos are awarded - one for the professional and one· for the amateur. Devention II will also present facutal science programming with discussions, displays and films. There will be times when the wellknown science fiction people will give speeches, and times when the active fans will talk. There will also be the everlasting events that continue all five days, such as the Art Show - which will be an auction at

the end of the convention. An ongoing film festival and a sales room with books, posters, magazines and ·other science fiction paraphernalia will be featured throughout the convention.

~

One of the most enjoyable aspects of Devention II will be the masquerade, Thompson said . "The masquerade is great. Everyone must wear an original creation and there is usually a lot of · nudity because many women dress up as slave girls. Some people even act out little skits." But all of that is just half of a world con - the real fun comes at night during the parties. " The parties are the most important part, because that's where you get to meet all of the famous and most active science fiction people,'' Thompson said. Thompson and many other dedicated fans will agree that Devention II is going to be the most exciting fair in their science fiction lives.

world exists between fans and observers, and those who use the word "sci-fi" certainly aren't fans because that word is despised in the world of science fiction . Thompson, who also teaches science fiction classes, said, "The real dedicated science fiction fans are organized. They meet regularly, publish fanzines (amateur publications), give feedback to writers and go to conventions. The others who read a lot but don't do anything about it are just spectators.'' Thompson, a tall, slender, mature man, who has absorbed much science fiction in his time, has begun to resemble a fictitious character - if one uses their imagination. · This unique individual, with glowing skin tone shining from the top of his head, and large eyes that peer out from b~hind their oval shaped glasses, is a respected fan in Denver and was one of the founding members of Denver's science fiction club when it began in 1969. The Denver Area Science Fiction Association (DASFA) is similiar to many other organizations around the globe. The membership costs five dollars per year and it entitles those who join to attend meetings and be on the mailing list. Every Saturday evening at around 7:30 p.m. DASFA gets together and the show begins. The programs always vary; on some nights a guest speaker steps in, on other nights a film is shown, or a panel discuss~o~ may be planned . On less for-

Dasfa;- is distributed all over the world to different fans. It is written by members who enjoy the luxurious pleasure of getting feedback from other fans about their articles. Thompson used to publish a fanzine of his own called Don-0-Saur. "It was a beautiful experience because I usect to get long letters of·comments from other fans and when others received Don-0-Saur, they would send me their fanzines," he said. The last Don-0-Suar was published in 1978. Thompson said he had to quit writing because he became so involved with bringing a world science fiction convention to Denver. A science fiction convention is the highlight of a fan's life. Active fans from all over the world plan a gigantic "world con" every two years. Thompson turned back the time machine a couple of years and explained why the 39th World Science Fiction Convention will be in Denver this year. He said back in 1979 he and 49 others organized a Denver bidding committee. Since then, they have been traveling the globe campaigning for Denver. Then the vital time came and every member of every science fiction club voted on where they wanted the convention to be. Denver won, and the excitement and prestige rewarded every fan in this region. Devention II inherited it's name because it' s the second world con to be in Denver since 1941.

am I doing here? I don't have a problem! I could be home watching Lou_ Grant or Soap. A friend had told me about these meetings. "Listen Ed, it's not a problem, it's a disease that can be cured. The first step is to admit it to yourself.'' Well, I knew I didn't have a disease. I could quit anytime I wanted. Just because I indulged every night didn't mean I was hooked. It helped me to relax. Besides, it wasn't really affecting my life. I went to school every day. So what if I was a little bleary-eyed once in a while. Some night~ are rougher than others. A woman with pointed glasses chained to her head called the meeting to order. "Welcome. I'm sure we all know why we are here. Would anyone care to start?" A young man sitting in the second row jumped up. He turned to the audience and cleared his throat. "My name is Jack Jones and I'm a TV junkie." The crowd fell silent as he described the events leading up to his horrible addiction. "I started just watching prime time shows and Johnny Carson. Then it spread to Good Morning America with breakfast and the news after work. Before I knew what was happening, I wa s watching General Hospital during lunch. I knew I was getting hooked, but I couldn't help it." General Hospital. I wondered if Jeff had found out that Heather murdered Dianna to get P J back. Or

if ... Oh, my God! Was I a . . . No, it couldn't be. A girl not more than 14 stood up. Surely she wasn' t, she couldn't be, could she? "My name is Suzy Thomas. I'm 13 years old, and I'm a TV junkie." I couldn't believe my ears. She told of an unhappy childhood scarred by hours-Of Sesame Street, Zoom, Mr. Roberts, and Saturday morning cartoons.

'Wings': taking· the Smooth glide •I by Emerson Schwartzkopf

Arthur Kopit's Wings is a moving, deeply emotional play concerning one ..._ person's struggle to communicate with others despite physical and mental handicaps. The attitude of the play, overall, remains upbeat and uplifting, Unfortunately, the Denver Center Theatre Company's current production of Wings steadfastly refuses to take • flight. Through a number of circumstances - few of which di,rectly involving the play's interpretation - DCTC's Wings becomes a presentation of good entertainment constantly missing the exceptional preformance. Such comment seems blasphemous in ..... the shadow of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' impressive theatre complex. The perseverance of Donald R. Seawell has wrought a facility to entice the most casual Denver theatre-goer; however, the facility itself conspires to inadvertantly debilitate Wings. II' -

WINGS/ Written by .Arthur Kopit/ directed by Laird Williamson/ scene and costume design by Robert Blackman/ lighting design by Robert Jared/ music and sound by Bruce Odland/ The Space, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, March 16April 4.

,

The problem with Wings lies in the configuration of The Space, the midsized theatre of the Denver Center's three stage contingent. While the sensitive, often personiµ subject matter of Wings calls for intimacy, The Space's logistics for this production robs the real chance for actors to effectively communicate with the audience. The Space itself resembles a squared\ off version of the traditional Shakesperian format; stt:ep sides of balcony sitting, with some seats on a raked ground level. Instead of surrounding a raised stage in semi-circular fashion, however, The Stage sets the audience completely around a ground1 level stage. This set-up creates the situation of audiences peering down onto a theatrein-the-round. The actors of Wings are

forced to project up continually, and focus also becomes a problem (nearly half the audience must not only look down, but often at the back of stage business) . Such circumstances makes Danie Lawrence's portrayal of Emily Stimson, Wings' central character, a difficult task. For Lawrence to survive on state under the conditions, rates as superior; her interpretations in Wings come closer to becoming fantastic. Lawrence's work with Stimson's character effectively interfaces two parallel-but-polarized performances one as a rational human being seeking escape from an impossible situation, and the other as an almost hopeless stroke victim. Carefully, Lawrence synthesizes the two into a woman slowly making sure towards a once-again progress meaningful existence. Lawrence's performance moves toward true inspiration in the latter stages of Wings. Unfortunately, due to the damnable need to spin focus four-square in· the space, Lawrence loses the direct contact needed with the audience for dramatic empathy. As it is, her strong Darrie Lawrence and Amelia Wh ite in Wings. performance throughout Wings provides Wings take keen notice. As the actors and always remains to pull Wings together ina needed cohesive force. The other actors of Wings, with few configurations scurry across the vast car- to a production worth seeing. Pick your seats carefully, though. exceptions, perform well - if not in peted plain of The Stage, Lawrence memorable fashion. John Naperiala's Billy provides some poignant comedic relief as another recovering stroke victim, with effective touches of pathos. Other performances, in professional deference and respect to Lawrence's character, take a low-key approach. The subdued portrayals though, hurt one of Wings' characters. Amelia White, as Amy, is the obvious transitional point in Wings; her entry as a stroke victim therapist marks the beginning of Lawrence's move toward recovery. Too often, however, White seems more a object than a person, a tool of the writer to bridge a few gaps. The production of Wings is excellent, although the facilities available at the Denver Center make the potential for a poor technical job rarer than at most theatres. The use of ''configurations,'' or uniformed stage personnel creating etherial props gives Wings an occasionally strange but effective feel. Notable points occur throughout the play by the configurations of a biplane to note Lawrence's lapses into "free-flight" asides. In producing theater for medium to large audiences, sacrifices in intimacy THE LAST CHAPTER IN THE OMEN TRILOGY must be made; with Wings, configuration A H ..\H\'EY BEll'.'\H.,.\HD l'llODL"C.'110:-.: 1:-.; AS~OCIAllU:-.: \\"ITll ~1ACE :-O:EUfELD proves the villain.

continued from page 1 should, the reason is more economic than racial. He said that minorities with doctoral degrees are often attracted to "bigger schools" that have more money for faculty salaries than MSC. He said private industry also attracts minorities because they can pay even more than schools. Gwen Thomas, dean of the school of community and human services, agrees with Freeman about private industry, but disagrees with him about qualified minoritities in the school system, saying it is an excuse for not doing a good search. "I don't buy it because of personal experience and I don't buy it because of theletters that come across this desk,'• Thomas said. .g She also said that she doesn't think g; there is a plan to eliminate black ad- ~ ministrators, but that ·methods and £ procedures used over the years have not been conducive to the hiring of minif they feel it is being perpetrated. orities. "My feeling is that Metro is like most "I don't think minorities should sit institutions - it is inflicted with in- quietly if there is a situation they feel is stitutional racism," she said. discriminatory," she said. She said that institutional racism can Thomas was at the Feb. 19 meeting, be corrected but she is concerned that certhough it was the first time she became tain individuals could bear the brunt ·of actively involved with the conflict betthe charges of racism. She said she has Moland and Flemon · and the ween friends on campus that she knows are not Faculty Senate. At the meeting she racist and when charged with racism they suggested that an outside agency settle understandably become angry. the question of racism on campus. Thomas does feel, however, that Moland and Flemon have a right, even an All parties involved, including Moland obligation, to address the issue of racism and Flemon, f~l any outside intervention

would not be good for the college. Moland and Flemon want the Faculty Senate to investigate the charges and to publicly right all wrongs. The Faculty Senate doesn't feel it can police itself, placing the responsibility on President Macintyre. Indeed, some members of the Senate executive committee have been publicly involved in heated confrontations with Moland and Flemon. Macintyre, on the other hand, doesn't feel he should be involved in what he says in essentially a matter concerning affirmative action. He said he has appointed an affirmative action task force which is working hard to deal with policies, procedures, goals and timetables, but he has been frustrated by the Senate executive committee's attempt to make affirmation action a "President's issue." He also met with the leadership of the black caucus about the issues raised by Moland and Flemon and the concerns of the Faculty Senate. He has suggested that the caucus come together and identify those problems and propose remedies and to identify problems dealing with the faculty. The caucus meets March 19. To those concerned about discrinination at MSC, this may sound like more rhetoric, since the federal Office for Civil Rights found deficiencies in MSC's affirmative action program as far back as 1971 and current statistics prove to be almost as grim. In 1971, of the 310 faculty members, the college had only 26 minority members, or less than nine percent. In a study completed by Moland for Macintyre in July 1980, of the 380 college personnel, 13 percent were minorities. Besides the inequity in hiring minorities, Flemon and Moland have charged unfair treatment of certain black administrators and faculty members. They have also charged that they have been harassed on the job and their personal safety has been threatened in latenight phone calls. Ben Monroe, a black faculty member and leader of the black caucus, requested a salary review in October 1979. The request was denied by the acting vice president of academic affairs at that time. Monroe renewed his request in May 1980, and again in early 1981. Within weeks after final submission, the request was received, processed and honored. Moland and Flemon feel it was honored because they included Monroe's ··case in their public allegations of institutional racism on the MSC campus. Another case involving a black female

faculty member is in litigation with the attorney general's office and MSC. Still another matter concerning Moland and Flemon is what they feel is unfair treatment of Edward Schen~k.._ former dean of students affairs, w™returned to faculty status with a salary loss of $10,000 to $15,000. Previous administrators returning to faculty status received l 1/12ths of their administrative salary. Faculty representatives recently objec...,.. ted to the board of Trustees about administrators returning to faculty status at such large salaries. Faculty Senate members say that Schenck's case was the first after the Trustee's decision to stop that practice. Moland and Flemon contend that Robert11 Thompson, vice president for student affairs, reverted to faculty status with no loss of pay at the same time Schenck returned to the faculty. Flemon's grievances are probably the most serious in regard to civil rights. He claims to have a secret file maintained by. Richard Netzel, former MSC vice president and now staff member of the Board of Trustees. The files outline attempts to discredit and eventually fire Flem on. Macintyre spoke with the attorney general assigned to MSC about thC\11 alleged files and says there are to be no private files kept on anyone. Moland has also questioned several administrators when it appeared apparent Flemon was not receiving the salary increase that other academic administrators were receiving. Moland said he was told by Doris Peters, director of MSC contract personnel, "We aren't giving Wilt a higher adjustment because he shows no incentive." Flemon also told of an incident that happened in early 1980. Michael Howe, then MSC vice president of academic af-"" fairs, called a dean's retreat in Monument, Colo. Present were Howe, Flemon and the academic deans. Flemon said at the meeting several deans made it clear to Howe that Flemon "had to be dealt with." They insisted on termination, Flemon said, but Howe in-' dicated that Flemon would be neutralized, or reduced to a staff function and that his responsibilities would be slowly turned over to others. This is the incident that began the 18month confrontation between Flemon and various administrators. Moland has supported Flemon and maintained that actions taken against them are part of racial discriminations.

SRorts _Gymnastics team: fifth nationally

METROPOLITAN SCOREBOARD

4

~._I____by Terron Hutt March 6 and 7 marked an important weekend in MSC sports history when the MSC Men's Gymnastic team placed fifth in the NAIA National Gymnastic Championships. ~ The event, held at Ft. Hays, Kansas, finished with four MSC gymnasts placing in the top ten. Two high finishers in the high bar competition were Joe Glenn who came in fourth with a score of 17 .15, and Steve Peterson, who was not far behind in sixth • place with a 16.35. Glenn was also nominated for gymnast of the year at this event. Rich Gardner achieved a fourth place finish on the pommel horse scoring 16.25, and Dave Angel placed ninth in the vault with a score of 9 .3. Head Coach Eric Fulcomer commented after the meet, "We-went in ranked ' seventh and ended in fifth place. Everyone asked who we were and where - we were from. Now they know." Glenn, who started in gymnastics in junior high and later took the state title in ~ - horizonral bar in high school said, "The Nationals were a disappointment for me as an individual. All throughout the season I was tied for the number one spot and at the nationals I came out fourth .'' As a graduating senior, Glenn ex-

pressed than Ifs to Fulcomer, Assistant Coach Jeff Johnson, and Marc Rabinoff, men's athletic director. Peterson is now in his third year of gymnastics competition. He started as a sophomore in high school. In his first year of college competition Peterson said, "I really like gymnastics. Of the things I have done, it is my favorite." Peterson's big event is the high bar. "I always worked at this, that's what I'm best at. I know the team and my family is counting on me," he said. ''Gymnastics for me is a thrilling sport," Peterson continued. "When you get advanced, you can do tricks in the air. It makes me feel good to know I can do it. And it gives you something to work for,'' Peterson.said. Rich Gardner, the fourth place finisher on the pommel horse, went to New Mexico Junior College on a scholarship. His gymnastic team took third nationally both years. "I'm basically used to national competition," remarked Gardner. "This was the best year ever in my career. I got a chance to experiment more on the parallel bars and vaulting. My goal is to make national finishers on the parallel bars." Dave Angel, the long horse man on the team, competed in gymnastics at North High, and said the floor exercise is his

favorite event. ''Gymnastics takes confidence, courage and self-determination," said Angel, a music major. "This makes me feel proud. Next year I plan 6n being all around." This is the first year for gymnastics at MSC, and the highest team placing in MSC athletic history. It looks like the gymnastics team is off to a fine start.

The MSC Men's Varsity Tennis team has an even record of winning two singles games and losing two. The losses were to University of North Dakota, March, and Kearney State College (Neb.), March 15. Scores were North Dakota 7, MSC 2 and Kearney 7, MSC 2. -
