Student fee vote sparks gov't tiff by L.J. Clark

Although voting was allowed for almost three months, only a , small percentage of the MSC ~student body participated in the referendum on the allocation of student fees. This semester, students were allowed to vote on how they wanted their student fee monies spent, ""in a referendum sponsored by the Associated Students of MSC. Ballots were accepted from early January until March 13, and the votes were f"mally tallied last week '-- the results falling short of what was expected by the student government. "We didn't get our 25 percent, but we got a percentage," declared Pattie Goodman, ASMSC chief of "staff. Although the MSC administration had agreed to abide by the results of the .referendum if 25 percent of the student body responded, far less than one quar4-ter of all MSC students voted: Goodman said approximately 1500 ballots were returned, nearly 11 percent of the MSC student populace. "But," she stated, 'I'm sure ,M acintyre (Donald Macln-

tyre, MSC's president) will recognize this referendum." Goodman also said, "The SAC (Student Affairs Committee) is constitutionally bound to this referendum, according to Article XI, Section 2 of the constitution of the ASMSC." In the past, the $300,000-plus in student fees have been allocated by the Student Affairs Board ......_ a group consisting of two faculty

members, one aclministrator, and ·constitutionally bound to consider the Student Affairs Committee the results of the vote, but he (six elected students). The money questions "the legality of the for allocation comes from the referendum." The SAC will only $38.50 collected from each full be constitutionally bound if ''the time student upon registration. ballots were properly distributed, Part-time students (taking 10 properly' counted and properly credit hours) pay $2.50 per credit collected." He said he was only hour. voicing his personal opinion, and Emerson Schwartzkopf, SAC was not speaking for the entire chair, said he agrees that SAC.

However, many students did not recieve the ballots, which were later made available in the Student Government Office. · The SAC chair also declared "students didn't know they were directillg the fees" when they voted, for there was "no real indication of what was happening" when they filled out the ballot. He said ''th' issue was not properly represented to the students." But, Sonny Wasinger: president of MSC's student government and author of the referendum, said the student government "obeyed the· Constitution'' and that the 0 ~ referendum was "approved by the ~ .J.Joint Committee" (the SAC and ft m.::::.·."t:.i..w.=...; -------..a the Curriculum Committee) at its Schwartzkopf: is referendum legal?

Shuttle ushers in new era ...... ,

by Thomas S. Fox

America's first space shuttle, the Columbia, made a perfect entry into earth orbit early Sunday morning after a 48-bour delay. The launch bad been scheduled for - early Friday morning, but -had to be aborted due to a computer malfunction. The Columbia has four main computers and one backup computer. The failure occurred when the backup computer began to incorrectly communicate with the other four. Since the Columbia ..--cannot be flown without the computers, the mission had to be postponed. The computer problem was located and fixed later Friday, and the launch was rescheduled for Sunday morning. A Saturday launch was impossible because the engines would have to be recon-.. ditioned for launch and that required 48 hours. But everything was operational Sunday morning, and the four-and-one-half million pound spacecraft roared away from launch Pad 39A riding atop a plume of red-orange flame at 5 a.m. • (MST). It was the culmination of more than a decade of planning. Spirits at Mission Control were more than high, they were ecstatic. About two minutes later, the solidfuel boosters were jettisoned and fell

The launch was a first in many respects. It is the first time a winged spacecraft has been put into orbit. It is the first time a spacecraft has ridden "piggyback" on its booster rocket. It is the fust time solid-fuel rocket boosters have been used to place a manned vehicle in orbit. Perhaps most importantly, it is the first time ' a spacecraft will be reused. The solid-fuel boosters will be recovered and reused. And, the Columbia itself will land like an airplane and be flown back to Florida atop a 747, where it will be re-outfitted and should be used again. NASA is saying this reusable spacecraft will usher in the era of economical spaceflight. Space will be opened to industry and will become a resource as well as a source of wonder. Space exploration will be expanded, since the ~pace shuttle is capable of carrying large telescopes past the imagehindering atmosphere. Satellites could also be put into orbit in this manner. America is entering a new Space Age, and it would appear that all systems are go.

toward the ocean, where they would be retrieved for re-use. Seven minutes after that, the main tank was jettisoned, destined to burn up over the Indian Ocean. The main fuel tank is the only component of the shuttle system which is not reusable. John Young and Robert Crippen, the two astronauts aboard, were told that the shuttle was o~erating well enough to stay in orbit at the beginning of the third orbit. The Columbia landed Tuesday on a dry lake bed near Edwards Air Force Base in California . During the lift off, 13 to 15 of the beat-resistant tiles on the surface of the Columbia vibrated off. A spokesman for NASA said the tiles were not in a critical location and posed no threat to the safety of the astronauts or the completion of the mission. The missing tiles were discovered by the astronauts looking out a back window, which overlooks the rear of the shuttle. The Columbia is also being photographed by high-power satellite tracking cameras at Cape Canaveral and Hawaii. The Columbia orbited the earth 36 times at an altitude of 172 miles, reaching a speed of 17 ,000 miles per hour. Late Tuesday morning it reentered the earth's atmosphere and landed like a glider on its own wheels.

MSC loses community service: not funded by Jean MaDonna

Somewhere in an MSC file cabinet there is a folder labeled "Spekaers Resource Center." It is, essentially, a dead file. Under the direction of Morton Hoffman, the center had provided speakers from the college to schools and organizations in metropolitan Denver at no charge.

The program was eliminated earlier this year in an administrative review of funding. The center itself was not budgeted. Since the speakers volunteered their time, the only expense was printing broChures· that were distributed to all of the high schools and, eventually, to all of the civic organizations Listed with the Chamber of Commerce as well. There was some federal aid, and Hoffman said additional

money was "begged" from MSC departments that could spare it. The administrative review that compelled the center's defunction was concerned with eliminating release-time pay, which js the cost to the college when a teacher is released from regular teaching duties to deal with another activity. The Speakers Resource Center was not only a service to the community, according to Hoffman, but also a way of publicizing the college to the high schools. At last count, the program offered 422 different speeches in 27 different subject areas, from ancient cultures to urban life. and from chemistry to career planning. There were 126 faculty members volun-

tarily involved. "We may have attracted more than just a few students," Hoffman said. During its six healthy years, the center ~ filled anywhere from 300 to nearly 700 requests per year, and was a vital and growing program, according to Hoffman. "As word got around," Hoffman said, ''we started getting calls from junior highs and elementary schools, too." .. Even since its demise, around 300 inquiries have been received. Hoffman said be will file his annual report on the center soon, though it wasn't required this year. He will ask for another review. And he will wait.

Bank seeking blood ..

Referendum on Student Fee Allocation

by .Kathleen L. Humphreys

L..-.:--~

I. .

"The blood drive·is a way to give that doesn't involve money. I feel better psychologically when I know I'm helping people," said UCO student Brenda Peak. r The Auraria campus will sponsor its second annual blood drive on April 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Student Ceoter, room 254. The Belle Bonfils Memorial Blood Bank will conduct the blood drive with assistance from Aurarians. ii& Why do people give blood? Richard ~aetwilur, a faculty member of MSC responded, ''Giving blood is a simple procedure in which a minimum of time is involved. It costs me nothing.'' . The American Association of Blood Banks concurred. "Nature makes it easy - - to give blood. A person has about 10 to 12 pints in his body and can easily spare a pint. When blood is given, the body responds promptly to restore plasma volume; the vital red blood cells are constantly being replaced in the bone marrow." ., Brenda Peak, a veteran donor, has been giving blood for eight to ten years and considers it an integral part of her life. She feels better both physiologically and psychologically after donating. Keith Asplin, assistant chancellor of UCO, considers himself a professional __ donor because he feels so strongly about

it. Many of his friends have benefitec.i from his accumulated blood credits. "I want to give while I am able. I also am interested in insuring my own personal security and that of my family," said Clyde Briggs, AHEC's mailroom supervisor. Donating blood is an effective way of helping other people and . safeguarding oneself and family in the event of an unexpected emergency. Asplin pointed out that people who have the most common types of blood assume there is an abundance. But common types are most often used and · 'needed. Belle Bonfils Memorial Blood Bank representative Ron Bergen said that blood is usable only 35 days. There is a continual need for fresh blood. The American Association of Blood Banks stated that every day more than 18,000 pints of blood are transfused in the United States, or approximately 7 ,000,000 pints a year. With advancing medical care, the need for blood has nearly tripled in the last ten years. An all campus planning committee with student and staff representatives from all of Auraria's institutions and AHEC are organizing the blood drive. Donors are needed from the Auraria campus. People who sign up in advance will receive first consideration, but dropins will be accepted. Cookies will be provided by, the Mercantile Restaurant. For further information, call 629-3291.

Guest Editorial On the changing of grades

The assessment of student performance rests on subjective judgment. Even if a standardized examination is used, it is because someone has weighed a complex set of factors and decided such an examination is appropriate. Some disciplines lend themselves to grading processes that allow precise records of performance, but precise does not necessarily mean accurate. Behind "objective" examinations are the decisions about what questions to ask, how to weight them (or, if they are to be equally weighted, how to make them equal). If one chooses to make classroom performance a factor, how heavily shall it weigh? If one chooses not to, is not that a subjective judgment? The ability to make reasonably accurate grad<: judgments, even though the processes involved are ultimately far from precise, is one of the essential qualifications of an instructor. Making the judgments is a grave responsibility and a significant prerogative. No one else is in a position to take adequate account of the myriad subtle factors underlying the judgment, whether they be in the designing of an objective exam or the evaluation of a subjective one. Therefore, if circumstances occur such that someone else is infact able to perceive what grade is appropriate better than the instructor of a class, the instructor is· lacking in an essential qualification for teaching and ought to be removed. Conversely anyone who asserts superior knowledge of the appropriate grade implies the

incompetence of the instructor and should accept the burden of proof. It is, however, imaginable that a competent instructor might through malice, bad faith, or caprice assign a false grade. Students should have recourse in such an event, and the courts are prepared to provide redress if a student can prove the wrong (See Connelly vs. University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, 244 F. Supp. 156 (D. Vt. 1965). So difficult, however, is the evaluation of the kinds of evidence and testimony such a case would involve and so destructive the repercussion of a judgment against an instructor, that it seems illadvised for any agency of lessor standing and fewer resources than a court to undertake to render such a judgment. In such cases, then, of incompetence or culpability (but only in such cases!) an institution should provide a mechanism for evaluating whatever evidence may be available in the hope of arriving at an equitable grade, but it should never be supposed that such a mechanism has any better chance of arriving at the correct grade than does a competent instructor acting in good faith. There is no magic that enables a competent instructor to arrive at an exactly correct grade. The professional skill involved is one that is refined throughout a career, and maturity generally brings increasingly painful awareness of how imperfect a skill it is at best; but the fact remains that anyone at a greater distance than the

instructor would require even more magic to be in, fallible. It is not, then, the purpose here to ass~rt that the competent instructor's grades are never wrong, but rather that the responsibility and perrogative of the instructor to judge performance must not be tampered ... with. Now a judgment, especially of a kind so difficult and subtle, sometimes proves to require revision. The. fact that someone, ~.g., a student, questions a judgment has been known to effect a reconsideration; sometimes externalizing the factors involved with a respected third party may introduce a perspective which leads to a revised judgment (or to reassurance that the original .11111111 judgment was sound). But in either case, the instructo~ is still the one who arrives at the judgment. For these reasons, there is no proper "due process" by which a student can appeal to a higher authority in order to get the "right" grade. There can only be a mechanism by which, when things have gone gravely awry, the student can appeal to a lesser authority for an __ equitable grade. All of this means that some inappropriate grades will stand, just as the principle of presumed innocence means that some of the guilty will go unpunished. At such costs do we avoid the alternatives: punishment of the innocent and surrender of the grading perrogative to agents who clearly have no greater claim to competence .. than the instructor.

Letters Complaints on creationist story In a recent METROPOLITAN Thomas Fox reported the defeat of Sen. Sam Zakhem's bill to require public schools to teach the biblical version of creation along with the scientific theory of evolution. While remaining objective in his account of the Moral Majority's legal challenge to the evolutionists' monopoly in the . classroom, he does a disservice to both views in his misleading, pedantic and superficial analysis of the controversy. While both creationists and evolutionists regard the study of origins as a legitimate intellectual endeavor, they both commit a fatal methodoligical faux pax when assuming that it is possible to prove either scientifically or theologically any particular concept of origins. The essence of the scientific method is experimental observation and repeatability. Evolution can neither be observed nor repeated. Fox, who places his faith in "information gathered from the observable universe •." believes that his empiricism is the "clearest, most consistant frame work by which to understand (natural processes)." He fails to realize that this model of reality, like a religious epistemology, rests ultimately on assumptions about the nature of knowledge which are themselves unverifiable. Theodosius Dobzhansky, one of the nation's leading evolutionists has admitted: The applicability of the experimental method to the study of evolution is severely restricted ... by the time intervels involved, which far exceed our lifetimes. And yet, it is just such impossibility that is d~manded by anti-evolutionists when th~y ask for "proof." This tacit recognition that the scientific method is in.capable 'of:conflfming the evolutionary rationale reveals

that the latter cannot be tested experimentally. In other words, since evolution cannot in any conceivable way be disproved, neither can it be proved! Professor L. Harrison Matthews, a leading .evolutionary biologist concurs in the Forward to a recent edition of Darwin's Origin of Species: " Belief in evolution is thus exactly parallel to the belief in special creation - both are concepts which believers know to be true but neither, up to the present, has been capable of proof." Dr.· Henry Miller, director of the Institute for Creation Research, argues that philosophies of origins are best described as models - orderly systems of thought which correlate and integrate data. One can decide which model is more probably correct, based on the volume of data correlated, but it cannot be strictly objective. To qualify as a theory, explains Miller, evolution or creation must permit the experimental formulation of legitimate scientific hypotheses so that the results can either confirm or reject its validity. Neither explanation can satisfy this rigorous criterion. D.M.S. Watson, an outstanding British evolutionary biologist noted revealingly a number of years ago that, "evolution is a theory universally accepted not because it can be proved by logically coherent evidence to be true but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible." It would seem that one's acceptance of either model is likely to be influenced as much by a repulsion for the alternative paradigm than by its perceived efficacy as an explanator of natural, or spiritual phenomena.

Letters Fido growls about working conditions A _couple of weeks ago, someone .wrote about the terrible parking conditions. He had a very good gripe, but he missed the real point. As was Raul Gomez's response. Since I happen to be one of those people who work in those buts, I would like to give my view. First those cells are far from cozy. They do have heaters in them but we are -still very dependent on the - sun for warmth. Those huts are filthy dirty, and have never been cleaned since they were built. Second, you people who come to the huts to buy your parking spaces need to take a lesson on manners. It is not our fault on how the rules are made, but we have to follow them in order to keep our job. · So, if we let you in for free (even for 20 min.) and you get a ticket, then we have to explain how you got in there without paying which we can easily get fired for. Since the tokens are numbered we cannot give you your money back if your class was cancelled. We have no authority over those who give tickets, so if you get one you're wasting time bitching at us. The reason we cannot accept $20 bills is too obvious to argue about. Also -.... you arrogant twits who like to park in handicapped areas, but get angry when you're towed, there is a simple solution - trade the handicapped you legs for their parking spaces! Now I know you instructors think you shouldn't have to pay for pa;king since you work here - "When I worked at Coors I didn't have to pay for parking, so ~ why should I now?" Well, this is AHEC not Coors, dispite the simularities! How would you like to be a student and pay tuition plus parking?! Believe me, I don't like opening my window on snowy days to take your money any more than you like opening your window to give it to me. I especially hate you who like to pull so far away from the hut, that I ~ave to lean way out and get snow down my back as well! Somethin~ else y_:ou may_ not be aware of - ESP is not a job requirement! So we don't know where each individual empty space is!!

However, I do agree that THE METROPOLITAN did a lousy job reporting on parking. For one reason only. You guys interviewed ONLY Raul Gomez (director) ai;id Robert Thompson (asst. director).· They told you how parking should work, we in the huts see how it does work. We in the huts, and those in the office hear most of the complaints. So how about doing it all over, and this time interview the employees. Now for some good news and bad news for those who park. First the -bad. I would say well over 50 percent of those who park are breaking the rules and are subject to ticketing or tow, without knowing it. For instance, rule 3.4a states "only the current daily receipt shall be displayed." Meaning if you have yesterday's token on your dash as well as today's you could get a $5 fine. (Isn't it a shame these rules weren't mailed to you in your packet?) Now for the good news - THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS YOU DON'T WORK HERE!!! Raul stated in his letter that he is sympathetic to parkers, but he sure doesn't seem to be to his employees. We in the huts are hourlies, which means the only rights we have is that we don't have lo wear a leash and collar. We work 8.5-10 hours a day with only one 30 minute break which we don't even get payed for. We can get fired at any time without reason or warning. Our complaints are heard but scoffed at or made into jokes between the administrators. Or more often, a smile which turns to daggers when your back is turned. If we get robbed in the buts and the thief decides he doen't like you, we have to foot our own hospital bills! Now, all this is perfectly legal, but being treated like doggy-dung is degrading and un-called for. Imagine working for someone who thinks that if bis employees bate him, then he must be a good boss! Sick! And who nit-picks you to "gain respect.'' Fido in parking

UCD prof rejected Recently, Dr. Lawrence J. Mosqueda, professor at UCD in the Political Science department, applied for an urban politics position in the department of Political Science at the University of Denver. He was rejected despite overwhelmingly strong recommendations from leading scholars in his field. He was also the first choice of students involved in the recruitment. Allegedly, the -;- hiring decision did not represent a fair evaluation of his credentials. The department chairperson, Dennis R. Judd, has resigned his chair in protest. Several DU students have expressed their concern as indicated in the following letter. They encourage the involvement of UCO students in the issue. "'As students we would like to express our concern ~ with regard to the current situation in the Political Science department. During the departmental recruitment, severe conflict arose among faculty and students on several issues. Consequently, the department has become factioned to such an extent, that we feel it to be detrimental to student interests. There are several aspects we believe to be damaging to ;-_ the education available to students participating in the Political Science program. These include:

•the resignation of the department chairperson, tlie potential loss of permanent faculty and visiting professors, which threatens to limit the diversity of ohilosophies within the Department, hence limiting educational opportunities. •the loss of cohesion among faculty members within. the department, hence limiting educational opportunities •the potential devaluation of the departmental degree. •the apparent disregard for student concern and

lack of respect for student opm1on during the recruitment process by several faculty members. •development of students' fear of retribution by faculty members t"or expressmg a v1ewpomt on· this issue. We would like to appeal to other students and faculty to express their concern by doing one or more of the following: I) encourage discussion of the issue among professors and classmates; keep the issue alive; 2) send a letter to the Clarion, Dean Kenneth Purcell, or Chancellor Ross Pritchard. 3) send a letter to Dr. Dennis Judd, the resign ~ ing Department chairperson, indicating your position.

We feel it is important for the student body to be aware of the possible consequences of the controversy as it will have an impact on them.

Racism is divisive

•

Racism. A six letter word the American Heritage Dictionary defines as "The notion that one's own ethnic stock is superior." It is only a word ... used to describe an ideology. But on the Metro campus one would think it's the latest in the world's arsenal of weapons. And it's being used far more irresponsibly than chemical warfare during Viet Nam. In an institution dedicated to the development and usage of the human mind, it is ironic that the process has not been used in response to charges that racism is affecting Metro's ability to function properly. Every time one picks up a copy of THE METROPOLITAN lately, a letter to the editor or article can be found written by or about someone with the faculty or administration or concerning the charges and the need to deal with facts, not allegations. They should study the volumes of information available on the subject, including the results of two separate government studies revealing the presence of deficiencies in hiring practices and resulting in affirmative action plans which seem to have failed. One has only to look at the faculty staff in areas other than ethnic studies and human services to find the evidence to support these allegations. But the purpose of this letter is not to argue the existence of racism at Metro, but to express concern for the malaise which has taken hold of the faculty and administration. A malady causing tunnel vision, paranoia and seems to affect the victims' ability to reason. Time and time again the desire to have the matter ended is voiced, yet no one takes time to have the problem diagnosed and treated. Facts are not examined, problems are not faced and solved. Only a perpetuation of the bickering and mud slinging results. On February 19 Metro President Macintyre called an emergency meeting to try to clear the air a bit ... to give those involved a chance to get some perspective on the situation. Unlike faculty, Dr. Macintyre is aware that many students are aware and concerned, resulting in an invitation to attend the meeting. We, members of th" Auraria Black Council, were shocked by the unprofessional conduct, the constant accusations and denials and the inability to discuss matters in an objective manner by faculty and administration. We were most discouraged by their refusal to acknowledge our right to be there or discuss the specific examples we brought them. Nor did they seem to take seriously our concern that the problem be solved as soon as possible. So we reiterate our position. We, the students of Metro, suffer the most during this war between faculty and administration. Our problems are not being solved, our needs are not being met; we do not have your attention. Neither our funds or our time are limitless, thereby limiting our patience. The situation must be brought under control soon. Will you take the reins to bring this runaway situation under control, or will you procrastinate until someone else does it for you? Metropolitan State College Black Student Alliance

Freedom and ROTC It is great to have a government that protects our right to free speech. But I look around me and see some people talking without any concern where their foot is placed. I refer to a letter that you printed by David Woodward and Mark Tamon in your April 8 issue. These people talk freely without knowing where their basic right of free speech comes from. I do not have to mention the wars fought or the consequences if we did not fight. We should support the military sciences programs or at least recognize their right to be here on campus. If these men and women do have to fight for our country or the freedom of our friends we might owe them our lives. Be glad they are on our campus and they are willing to give their futures for us. l I t.

Kids get chance to play with art by Katie linaris

Art Field Day, which took place last Friday morning, marked the close of the Week of the Young Child at Auraria. Mother Nature supplied the sunshine, the Auraria Child Care Center provided the supplies and ideas, and the children were overflowing with energy. Lily Ruppe, an early childhood education major at MSC and an assistant teacher at the Center, co-ordinated Art Field Day. Ruppe said the activities were designed to incorporate all of the bodily senses. "The only thing we're missing is music, but the sounds from the children more than make up for it," said Ruppe. Ninth Street was adorned with colorful balloons and tables were set up in a wide circle on the lawn. Each table offered the children a "different" approach to art. Children from the Child Care Center and the Child Development Center were invited. Children from the surrounding neighborhood and some from other Den: ver day care centers stopped by to join in the fun. Art Field Day offered the children an opportunity to use their creativity and to let their imaginations run wild. Ruppe was especially proud of the ''Community pairiting" project, a large sheet of cloth spread out on the sidewalk. All around it were buckets of colorful paints with a

variety of utensils to make different shapes. . Every child contributed to the painting which will be framed and hung in the CCC. The "nature rub" table, supervised by Linda Parkins, consisted of several objects of different textures. There were pinecones, treebark, sea shells and a starfish. Also on the table was a box of pastels and some paper. The children were to choose one or more of the objects, put a piece of paper over it and rub with the pastel. Michele Culna, another assistant teacher, was in charge of the wood sculpting table which was loaded with boxes of wood scraps and plenty of glue for the children to build whatever they wanted. Culna said they were gluing the wood, rather than using a hammer and nails, so

it would be easier for the children to create a permanent sculpture in a short amount of time. This table was very popular and there were a dozen finished products drying on another table. Judy Kulvicki, a work-study student, was a little concerned when the crowd thinned out around her table. She had three tubs of soap suds, each a different color, for blowing bubbles. The children were given wands made out of pipe cleaners. But the smaller children had trouble getting their wands to produce bubbles.

fun, they were all too busy to answer. "I don't know about them, but I sure am!" Kulvicki said. Richard Kummer, alias Litterfoot, came to talk to the children about litter. .. He was dressed like Bigfoot but pretended to be afraid of the children to avoid frightening the younger kids. He also brought his friend, a robot named RU4 Recycling, who was constructed out of a garbage can. Another .volunteer came to i>erform • magic for the children. There was also a table with shaving

Dog day afternoons: .. hazards of having a pet .

The phone scared the sleep from my head. 2:30 a.m. Nobody calls that late with good news. I prepared myself for the worst. " Mr. Kraus? Denver Pet Patrol. You'd better get down here quick. We've got you dog, Rover, on some pretty stiff charges : wanton leashlessness, invalid license, resisting arrest." My initial reaction was to let him spend the night in jail, but seeing his trembling tail and swollen eyes changed my mind. A few minutes of smooth talking got the charges reduced to third degree running at large. Rover and I left, anxious to forget the whole evening. That was last October. The other day a policeman came to my door. "Mr. Kraus? We have a warrant for your arrest." I tried to explain that it was all a mistake, but the handcuffs came out anyway. I had forgotten to pay Rover's fine, and now I was on tp.Y way to jail. My first cellmate looked fairly mean and I thought it would be a good idea to make friends as soon as possible. "What have they got you for?" "Attempted rnUFder. I tried to kill my next door neighbor.'' "Oh, really. How come?" It was

hard to look nonchalant, with my knees chattering louder than my teeth. "I got sick and tired of his stupid dog digging up my damn rose bushes. What are you in for?" "Oh, I er, I beat up a motorcycle gang. . . by myself!" Somehow, I don't think he believed me. We were interrupted by another visitor who verbally fought the policeman's hospitality with the vigor of an 18-year drunk. Slurring every . possible combination of profanities, he decided to end it all. Using his stained T-shirt as a rope, he began choking himself, but let go every time he lost his breath. My first cell mate made a helpful suggestion, "If you really-want to do the job right, smash your head against the wall." The newcomer put his arm around my shoulders, his whisper nearly melting my eardrums. "Could you do me a big favor? I'll leave you alone if you do." He wrapped the sweaty shirt around his neck again.

CCD tutors help their peers to succeed The Community College of Denver at Auraria has begun a program called Peer Tutoring that, while not well known, has been getting good results . The person responsible for the tutoring program at CCD is Barbara Tarn. She is the Peer Tutoring insturctor coordinator and has two main assistants, one of whom is Mary MacDonald. MacDonald explained how the tutoring works, saying that there are from 25-30 tutors, all students, mostly from MSC and CCD. These students must have an A or B average, plus permission from an instructor. As MacDonald said, "We're not teachers, just aids." Each student needing a tutor fills out a form, requesting his or her area of need. The form is then filed with the proper people, MacDonald said. Then, when a tutor is appointed, he or she keeps a journal log of each student. It consists of what needs to be covered, plus the necessary materials that need to be used. The tutor notes how that student progresses throughout the session. "We've got three fourth of the people who believe in helping others,"

MacDonald said, feeling confident about the tutoring program. She said it takes some of the stress off the teacher and helps students develop skills not learned in high school. "It's sort of a resource for students - it builds up their confidence and beliefs in education.'' The tutoring is held Monday through Friday at specific times. Tutors go through eight sections with the student. Subjects like listening abilities are tutored, MacDonald explained. When asked if the Peer Tutoring program had overall good results, MacDonald said, "I think we have. We had approximately ten tutors last semester . . . serving 25 people." She further explained that this semester, they are serving at least double that amount, enough to warrant funding by the student government. ''Our goal is to make CCD students not need tutoring," MacDonald said. After all, "Education is more important than money." For further information, contact the Developmental Studies department in the CCD Administration building, room 306. Debbie Williams

'Baskervilles' sinks into the bitnal bogs by Emerson Schwartzkopf In nearly every movie released for public co'lsumption, at least one part of of the film stands out as a positive force. For the critic, th~ search for the positive often becomes a very long journey. Such is the case with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a comedic remake of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective classic. With this movie, there can be only one positive statement. Dudley Moore's soundtrack piano playing is amusing. That's it. The Hound of the Baskervilles, by its credits, sounds like a winner. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, who brilliantly exploited the Fautsian legend with Bedazzled, star as Sherlock Homes and Dr. Watson, respectively. In addition, several of England's best character actors - including Hugh Griffith, Terry Thomas, Denholm Elliott, and Goon Show immortal Spike Milligan - pepper the cast of Baskervi/les. Such talent. Such a waste. The Hound of the Baskervilles lacks one main ingredient for a comedy: humor. This movie just isn't funny.

A large part of the responsibility for this lies with the movie's comedic direction. The intent, for the most part, seems to be aimed towards amusing persons of the "sledgehammer-thumb" genre. In other words, if someone smashes a thumb, creating a bloody, gory mess eventually requiring amputation, it' s funny. THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES/ starring Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and a host of British comedy character actors/ screenplay by Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Paul MorrisseyI based on the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle/ produced by John Goldstone/ directed by Paul Morrissey. While The Hound of the Baskervi/les averts bloody leg stumps, the movie moves in a direction dictated more by stupidity than honest absurdity. The comedic appeal of a car smashing into Milligans crotch is a concept humorous to burned-out perverts who like to see ' spectacles such as cars run over cats. Even the most respected institution of British comedy - the drag queens become just boring bits in Baskervilles. Moore's chara,cterization of Homes' Vic-

torian mother shows bits of brilliance, but the part usually wallows in moans, groans, and other manifestations of contrived bitchiness. Cook, Moore, and director Paul Morrissey collaborate - or, to be more frank, conspire - on the film's dismal screenplay. In addition, Morrissey (the director of Andy Warhol's Dracula and Frankenstein movies) uses what could best be described as a sub-pedestrian style of directing; his lack of comedic pause, useless camera angles, and small set shootings · (giving Baskervilles a

claustrophobic air) give the impression_ Morrissey couldn't walk across a street, let alone direct a movie. The faults of The Hound of the Baskervilles - from meaningless jokes to contrived, unimportant subplots - could-( be expounded on at length. This movie, though, isn't worth the space to decry it. This 1977 film took four years to appear on American theatre screens. Hopefully, The Hound of the Baskervilles will disappear with more haste and for good. ,....

,The state of the arts at UCD Rice combines business, art for enlightening music career

Movies vs. video homicide: Roger Ebert for the plantiff by Emerson Schwartzkopf

Rockwell portrait," Ebert said, "of a family of television consuming units settling down in front of their hardware for the evening." The real intent, Ebert said, is to "program the idea that it's better to sit at home (and watch on television) than go to the theatre - thus killing the oldfashioned movie.

"I refuse to make my music a job," says guitarist . and UCO student David Rice. That doesn't mean Rice refuses to look at music as a business, however. Instead, Rice attempts to fuse creativity and sensibility in music together- into a career of enjoying - and benefiting from - his art. And, he just might succeed. The 28-year-old, Boston-born musician is currently working on combining school with artistic advancement in a different sort of way - by recording at UCO. "It (the recording) had been taken on as a project by engineers at UCO," Rice says, adding not all the work will be done at the school. But, this somewhat unorthodox way of working into the music industry exemplifies Rice's determination in music where he's "been making a living at it" for the past ten years. Rice says his musical roots began with his family, and especially his FrenchCanadian mother. "We just liked to sing a lot," he says of his childhood, "with

mainly old folk tunes." This early influence developed into Rice's first singing professionally at age 14 - and, from there, Rice followed his musical interests from Florida to Los Angeles to South Carolina to Colorado . .. and UCO. "I came to UCO," Rice notes, "because of its unusual program. It's ipore modern-oriented; you can apply wha{ you learn here." Rice says UCD's music department also delves more into the business side of music, with some aspects of recording as well. ''(The) music business courses at UCO," he says, "teach you to be aware of things you're up against. The beginners don't realize how much of music is a business. "You just have to keep the business from overtaking the enjoyment of playing." Although Rice appreciates UCO "as a good music school," he plans to be on the move - and out of college - soon. "I plan on going to California," he says,

Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times film critic and co-host of TV's Sneak Previews - looks like an unlikely •prosecutor._ But then, the small cubes of television sets in nearly every American living room don't appear to be murderers, either. Yet, in a recent lecture at the Denver Center Cinema, Ebert presented a strong case of television "killing" the movies. ...._ "If you're watching a movie on television," said Ebert at the UCDsponsored lecture April 8, "you're notwatching a movie - you 're watching television." And, Ebert added, the increasing influence of home video watching - in~- eluding video cassette recordings and cable programming - steadily chips away at the old-fashioned movie "experience" in local theatres. In the traditional sense, Ebert said, movies were meant to be an "out of the body" experience. "I'm transported out .:..,.of myself," he related, "and I wilUorget what I am and who I am." A big screen, continued on next page encompassing sound, and sitting with "lots of strangers," Ebert said, .contributed to "something happening to me that is larger than life.'' Now, instead of filming to produce the r-effect in theatres, Ebert said "movies are being made with one eye cocked towards Personal counseling television. " Another "unhealthy situation" in Career advising Ebert explained filmmaking today movies today, Ebert noted, is the insteadily moves more under the influence creasing move towards the "blockbuster · Group experiences ~ ~~~-:····":.~~ ;:;.;~ of economics; and, as a result, the scale mentality." for judging movies for market values is a "More and more attention," he said, ~ -S- "tr--- ;- ·, .,\_..... snJ are available on the u set of "windows."

Roger Ebert about movies and television, Ebert does· enjoy the video medium. -' "I like television," Ebert said, "to show us something while it's happening, like news or sports. I just don't like movies on television." And, Ebert enjoys his growing national fame - via television's Public Broad-• casting System - by co-hosting, with Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel, Sneak Previews. "I find it (recognition via television) gratifying," Ebert said. "I also think it (the success of the show) is a triumph for the midlands." The show, now in its third year, was ,.• shown on every PBS station with the exception of two, Ebert said - and those two were Los Angeles and New York. "Now, the show's in Los Angeles," Ebert noted. "I think Sneak Previews bas overcome a lot of coastal chauvinism with movies." ·"

Men no-t the only ones --t

who want to pump iron

by Terron Hutt

On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, room 213 in the Auraria P .E.R. building hosts a coed weight training class. The insturctor, Marc Rabinoff, is ,.also the MSC men's athletic director. · As the students casually gather in the class one- gets the impression they ' re members of some elite group. The role the course plays in the students' lives is in a class all by itself - health. "I believe in coed education," •Rabinoff said. "We have increased women's participation at a phenomenal rate. "I've been here four years and have seen the weight training classes go from one woman participating up to twelve women, and the women come regularly. , _The interest of women in the maintenan, ce of their bodies has risen. They want to keep themselves firm and have good muscle tone development,'' he said. Jenny Goddeau, who teaches aerobics at Celebrity Sports Center said, "This is a good class. I run and swim. Weight . training really helps me all over. It ..... benefits every part of the body.'' "I'm getting ready for the summer,'' said Dawn Poindexter, another member of the weight training class .

Being in a class with mostly guys doesn't bother Dawn at all; in fact, "everybody does their own thing," she says. Sally Johnson commented that, "I notice none of the women have dropped out of the class. I enjoy lifting because of muscle tone and health and it's nice that it's not a competitive sport.' ' Two male members of the class , George Smith and Ali Puozeshi, said, "We're not bothered by having a coed class. Nobody has any objections to having ladies in here." Art major Carol Hudson used to have trouble carrying her 35 pound tackle box. Now she confessed, "It's not so much of a hassle. Having a little strength comes in handy." Rabinoff said, "I also teach nutrition in the weight training classes. You have to watch your intake of calories. The training is not going to work if you go home and eat a pizza with a six pack. "This is not a weight reduction class. You gain weight but it looks good on your body,' ' he said. · " If I can get women to continue lifting when the course is over, then I've done my job."

. . """ SOciolOgy of sports subject of course ~~ l ~~~~-b_y_T_e_rr_o_n_H ~u_ tt~~~~-' Have you ever thought of comparing sports to society? One MSC professor James E. Bryant, of the physical education department - has. Sociology of Athletics in American ;, Society (PER 473) is the class he teaches in the Fall semester. "We view sports and how it is an example of our society," Bryant said. "Violence is an example, and now there is such an outbreak even in amateur leagues and from the professional role , models. Ice hockey fights bring in people. ' The course gives students a much better insight into sports itself, how sports is a business. Even at high school games

you buy gate tickets." Bryant added. ''The class looks at how the media hypes for teams and supports sports. The motive of sports, and what's really behind it is talked about. We look at the female athlete, the minority quota system, politics in sports, economics in sports and how prayer is used as a motivation tool by coaches. All this and more,'' Bryant noted. Bryant, who was the first basketball coach for men at MSC in 1969 - the first year for intercollegiate sports at MSC says he never teaches a class the same way each time. "I'd be bored and I know the students would be bored," he said. said.

"A coach speaks with the authority equal to that of a court figure,'' said Bryant. He describes the "uncoachable athlete" as, "one who questions their coach-. " This, to Bryant, shows a lack of discipline and the lack of acceptance of the authoritarian figure. "From the view of someone who is a real sports fan, this class would be irrelevant to them, because it is not that fantasy land they think of," he said. When not involved with campus sports activities, Bryant shoots sports photography. ''This is a change of pace from teaching," he said. Other courses Bryant presently teaches include handball and racquetball,

SOFTBALL: The women lost a double header Sat. to Colorado State, 9 to 4 and 5 to 4. BASEBALL: The Men were in Lamar over the weekend for the Lamar Tournament. Team scores were: Garden City over MSC, 6 to S. MSC over Lamar. 5 to 4; MSC over Otero, 10 to 1; MSC over Darton, 4 to 1, and Trindad State over MSC, 5 to 2. MSC took third in the tournament and had three "All Tournament Players": Mike Marcely, Curt Culver, Tim Stovik. MSC baseball record stands at 17 and 12.

Bryant says sports sociology is only 16 years old and he is one of four sports sociologists in Colorado. The other nationally known sociologists are Stan Eitzen, CSU; Jay Coakley, UNC; and George Sage, UNC. Bryant graduated from Western Illinois University aod earned his doctorate degree at the Universi ty of Missouri. ''Sports is a microcosm of society. What happens in sports happens in society,'' Bryant concluded.
