hl an abrupt cuimination of a four month process, MSC President Donald Macintyre last week1named the four finalists for the position of vice president of academic affairs.

The vice presidential screening committee composed of faculty, students, and staff gave Macintyre a list of nine potential ;andidates, from which he chose four.

The candidates are Stanley Sunderwirth, acting vfoe president of MSC academic affairs; Wilton Flemon, associate vice president of MSC academic affairs; Linda Lopez McAlister, dean of the Imperial Valley campus of San Diego State University and professor of humanities; and Bruce Tuckman, dean of the school of education at Baruch College in New York.

Macintyre informed faculty and students that interviews of the 0 four candidates were to be held g; April 23-29 so he could make a ~ final recommendation to the £ Bo~d of Trustees (the college's MSC President Mac1ntyre: "I overning board) at the May 1 should make my decision within eeting, said Brooks Van Everen, two weeks." ·dent of the MSC Faculty

Senate and a screening committee member.

However, Macintyre told THE METROPOLITAN April 24 that he was "not very optimistic,, about being able to make his final recommendation by that date.

The interviews were originally scheduled for May 4 - 8, in accor<;lance with a time table Macintyre "himself agreed to and the com~ mittee itself set up," Van Everen said. 1 Van Everen said all faculty were not notified of the impending interviews until April 22, the day before the first interview.

"That's not an ideal lead time," Van Everen said. He said he doesn't know how many faculty members were precluded from attending the first interview because of previous plans.

Loring Crepeau, vice president of the Associated Students of MSC, said the job of organizing the student interviews was "dropped" on him April 20.

Crepeau said he didn't have time to inform many students of the impending interviews because of the "short notice" he.was given.

Crepeau said only nine students attended the first two meetings, commenting that requiring participation at all the interviews had a "cooling effect on the response of some students." · Macintyre said the process only seemed "accelerated ·in the minds of some.'' He said he got the list of names and ·quickly made his decision on the finalists. ''Why would people want me to wait?" he said.

"I don't think there's any way you could explain the acceleration of the process,'' Van Everen said.

He thinks Macintyre should have given the faculty more time to prepare for the interviews if the President sincerely wanted "valuable input."

Van Everen said he was told by Maclntyre's office that formal, written faculty evaluations of the candidates must be submitted by 10 a.m. May 1, even though the last interview will not be completed until 4:30 p.m. on April 30.

Macintyre told told THE METROPOLITAN he had not "set a final time" f~e submission offormal evaluations..

! i

If you have a Guaranteed Student Loan or a National · Direct Student Loan (made after October 1, 1975) hanging ' over your head, consider spending a couple of years in the Army. . · .

If you train for certain specialties, the government will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness (or $1,500, whichever is greater) for each year of active duty.

Obviously, a three-year enlistment would eliminate 1003 of your indebtednes.s. But you may prefer to take a shorter route and sign up under the Army's two-year enlistment option (and put 2/3 of your debt behind you).

Or you might want to join the Army Reserve. If you qualify, as a Reservist you can stay home, get paid for your active duty, and receive 153 loan forgiveness (or $500, whichever is greater) for each year you serve.

But we're not just offering you loan forgiveness. With your education, you can probably qualify for a higher rank and pay grade. You'll have your choice of many sophisticated Army skills.

And you may be eligible for generous monetary educational incentives.

In fact, in just two years you can accumulate up to $9 ,200 for grad school. (Only the Army can offer you a twoyear enlistment.)

It's not a loan, so you'll never have to worry about making payments. It's simply a savings program between you and the government.

Racial discrimination against blacks at MSC may be blatant or elusive, but no standards currently exist for deciding when it's real.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, passed in ..-1964, racial discrimination was easy to spot. In many states, blacks still had to ride in the back of public transportation buses and use public bathrooms and water fountains kept separate from

of the MSC Affirmative Action office, and Wilt Flemon, MSC associate vice president of academic affairs. (See THE METROPOLITAN March 18, 1981) Monroe said although the alleged racism may not be pre-mediated, he does see a pattern of discrimination. This indirect discrimination may not be done on purpose, he said, but it still affects black people. He went on to say blacks at MSC

might be victims of a power struggle between Macintyre, the Faculty Senate, and the Affirmative Action office.

The Faculty Senate feels Macintyre should settle the conflict. Moland said he is responsible to Macintyre, but Macintyre has repeatedly said, "Don't make affirmative action a president's issue."

Some persons fear this lack of clear-cut boundaries for the Affirmative Action

News Analysis whites.

In 1964, things began to change.

Americans began to re-evaluate their racial attitudes. For some white ' - Americans it was easy to do an attitudinal about-face; for others it was, and still is, hard to do.

In 1979, MSC settled a discrimination case out of court and agreed not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, handicap, ~ sex or marital status in its educational programs and activities, and to be committed to affirmative action in em- 0 ployment of college personnel and a: . faculty. ·Donald Macintyre, MSC president has repeatedly said he is committed to affir- ..............,.________ mative action.

"Let's all work together to see what we can do to make sure that our faculty, our administration and our student body is reflective of the community of which we are a part. This is the essential affirmative action goal that we ought to ~ have," he said.

He appointed an affirmative action task force last year which he said, "is working hard. to deal with policies and procedures, goals and timetables. " Ben Monroe, a black faculty member, is chairman of that task force and co~ chairman of MSC Black Caucus.

The MSC Black Caucus presented a position paper to Macintyre in March, 1980, which outlined recommendations to achieve the goal of a black educator in every department and at every administrative level. They encouraged ~ Macintyre to hire a black vice-president and a minimum of one black academic dean, to appoint additional black chairpersons throughout the college, and to increase black faculty in all academic departments.

office could provide a poten tial for abuse, particularly by students who may be discontent with their grades.

The job of the Affirmative Action office is to make sure no one is discriminated against for any reason.

On the other hand, faculty members hold sacred their "academic freedom" to assign grades they deem fair. While statistics on employment of minority faculty and administrators is easy to document and scrutinize, the affect of Affirmative Action on students is more difficult to see.

At least some students fear that this power struggle may affect them. " We're afraid that students may feel the repercussions," said Diane Whitaker, treasurer of the MSC Black Student Alliance. Linda Manlove, business administrator of the organization said, "Macintyre made some firm committments when he came here, but he hasn't stuck to them.''

Manlove and Whitaker support the actions of Moland and Flemon. The students believe at least " 99 percent" of Moland's and Flemon's charges of racism are true, but are aware there may be some "politics" going on. " Everybody is trying to cover their butts, but it's all going to come out in the wash anyway," Manlove said.

More than 5,000 persons gathered on the west lawn of the state capitol early Saturday to protest the stupidity of maintaining a nuclear weapons manufacturing plant 16 miles upwind of Denver.

Most of the crowd had marched from the Auraria campus to the Capitol at 10:30 that morning. Rally sponsors announced they had counted 3,900 persons participating in the march. They believed their count to be "fairly accurate."

The protest had actually begun much earlier in the day at the Rocky Flats plant itself. About 75 persons had gathered at 8 a.m. for an interreligibu~ service calling for an end to the arms race.

The participants were almost outnumbered by the rather large contingent of Colorado Highway Patrolmen and members of the press who had been sent there to watch the proceedings. I couhted twenty-odd reporters and photographers and about as many patrolmen.

About 500 feet to the south of the group was a fence, behind which were ~ four or five pickup trucks.

Schroeder told the protesters that the Reagan administration was intent on increasing nuclear production, with or without the permission of the people. She'~ accused the administration of hyprocrisy in that almost every area of the budget was under close scrutiny ex~ept the defense budget. .

Schroeder cited figures that show the Department of Energy was going to spend at least 33 percent of its funding on " ·military programs, while spending a paltry 1.8 percent on conservation.

The protest, which was sponsored by the Rocky Flats Coalition, was called a success, even though attendance was only half that of last year's. The rally was only one of 60 demonstrations across the .t _country intended to focus attention on the escalating arms race.

Many of the protesters carried signs or banners.

The Metroplitan, April 29, 1981

Editorial From the TOWER UCO Student Government News Tom Hanna, UCD Director of Internal Affairs and Vice chairman UCO Legal Services, a program also available to MSC students, has expanded its services to include new hours at the East Classroom Building, (Room 103 off the lobby). These hours are Tuesday 12 - 3:45 and Friday 9 - 12 noon. Although the main office (Room 259 F of the Student Center Activities wing) is open 9 - 5 Mon. - Fri., these additional hours were established to make Legal Services more accessible to UCO students.

UCO Student Programs will present a concert with Rick Nelson on Sunday, May 3, 1981 at 8 p .m. in the Rainbow Music Hall. Specially priced student tickets are available for $7. 70 (including parking fee), but must be purchased in advance either at the Student Center lobby or plaza, UCO Student Government (Rm. 340 A the Student Center) or in the UCD Music Office (Rm. 288 in the Arts Bldg.)

The results of the UCD Government elections and student fees referendum were as follows: Ivonne Molina - Chairperson Tom Hanna - Director of Internal Affairs/Vice Chair Myles Mangram - Director of Student Affairs Marlena Anderson - Director of Academic Affairs Smail Rabia - Director of Business Affairs · 1 Events Progt'am

2 Recreational services 3 Student Services (Women's Center and Legal Services) 4 Student Organizations 5 Student Government 6 Newspaper There are two points of interest concerning this information. The first is that during the first Executive Council meeting of the new officers, Smail Rabia and I, Tom Hanna, exchanged positions because everyone felt that this would be a more functional situation due to our backgrounds. The second is that the referendum results will be used by the finance committee in the budgeting process as per the revised ASUCD constitution, which was also approved during the election.

An important date to remember is May I, which is the deadline for budget requests from all clubs and services seeking funding.

Since THE METROPOLITAN, the only student newspaper on the Auraria campus, came in last on the referendurn, I am inclined to believe that the students of UCO are unimpressed with the service they have received. We have two choices: (1) Do not fund at all (2) Improve service through better UCD coverage and also

through the predominately student controlled Board of Publications. The old and new Student Governments at UCO have worked hard in conjunction with MSC Student Government to get this board established. , We feel that this board would be essential to maintaining an equitable situation for all concerned .

However, the existence of this board will be threatened if Ron DiRito and Michael Snyder are elected to MSC Student Government on a platform that opposes the formation of a Board of Publications. It is also interesting to note that Ron is an employee of the newspaper.

Your Student Government is also researching various ways to obtain health services for UCD students. As soon as we have more information we'll request your response on the matter.

The newly elected officers of the ASUCD student Government thank the student body for its support thus far, and we hope that our services will be of value to all of you, whether you voted or not.

Student Government meets every Friday at 3:30 Student Center Rm. 340.

Everyone Welcome.

Student Body Presidential Report Sonny Wasinger. ASMSC President As you probably know, THE METROPOLITAN was given $29,000 in student fees from the MSC and UCO students this academic year. Let us take a fresh look at our "student" newspaper.

On the front page two issues ago, there was an article about the student fees referendum of MSC . This referendum was the student government's attempt to give the students a voice in how their money is allocated.

We felt this was a good thing to do. The "student" newspaper stated that a small percentage of students voted. A small percentage by whose standards? The voter turnout on the referendum doubled the highest previous voter turnout in MSC history. Is this not a positive step?

The referendum was handled according to the Constitution of the Associated Students of MSC. We even did the courtesy of asking that the student affairs Committee and the Curriculum Committee vote their approval of the referendum. Only three people voted disapproval. One was Emerson Schwartzkopf. He stated on that front page story that he questions the legality of the balloting.

There are no provisions for this in the constitution so we handled it the best way we knew how, trying to reach as many students as possible. We are simply trying to give the students a voice. Mr. Schwartzkopf stated he had no problem with the mailing-out of the referendum, and yet he voted against it right after the mailing out and right before the distribution of it! Mr. Schwartzkopf, you see, is an employee of the "student" newspaper and sits as Chairman of the Student Affairs Committee which allocates the student fees. Such an obvious conflict is not covered in the constitution, either, however I qu~stion its legality .

I have always felt that the students should have a voice in all · relevant matters and during my administration I have tried my best to take steps in that direction. Two weeks ago we sponsored a conference of student leaders from the four-year colleges in Colorado.

We had three state legislators there for the purpose of helping the student leaders learn how to lobby the legislature. We wish to form a student lobby so the student will have a voice in the Caiptol With Reagan

zapping higher education this is crucially important.

THE METROPOLITAN made no mention of it to the students.

Last semester we held the successful Halloween Bizarre. The newspaper gave it only negative coverage.

It did not cover the Dizzy Gillespie Concert. This semester MSC and UCO joined together to hold the Spring Fever Event, a tremendous success, the largest in the history of Auraria and it received no coverage from the "student" paper. The ads you saw cost us nearly $1,500. The Auraria Black Council sponsored an Andrew Young speech - it was not covered. The MSC Music Department did a concert with the Denver Symphony - no coverage.

We have been working to form an Academic Review Board which would give students a voice if they ahve a complaint about academics or an instructor. No coverage.

We've made a proposal to the administration that would restructure Student Activities so that the $85,000 in student fees which funds this area will be put to much better use and provide ten times the amount of activities it now provides (over half of the money goes to tha salaries of three people at this time). The Bizarre and Spring Fever proved to the Administration that the students are now ready to control their monies and their student activities through forming an Events Council.

NO COVERAGE. We have finally given the students a voice to the newspaper by official formation of the long-defunct Board of Publications. It was defunct because the Business Manager of the paper, claiming to be Chair of the Board had not called a meeting in over a year. This formation has made the paper quite angry and now they even have their own man running for Vice-President and promising to abolish the Board as part of his platform! They have told me there should be no Board!

You see, the "student" paper doesn't appear to feel the students should have a voice. There are many student happenings that they chose not to cover, but you are aware of the many articles that have appeared in the paper that are irrelevant to us.

I respectfully submit, my fellow students that the

"student" newspaper is rather self-serving and the main proponent of apathy on our campus.

In the upcoming student elections I endorse the following: Loring Crepeau for President (by far the best person for the job), Pattie Goodman for Vice-Pres., Linda Manlove for Student Trustee and Diane Whitaker for the Student Affairs Committee.

To our "student" newspaper: Have a dynamite week, but try not to let it blow up in your face.

~

The above article was printed intact, with the exception of a potentially libelous comment that Mr. Wasinger chose to delete.

However, it is not completely accurate. THE METROPOLITAN has never supported or endorsed any candidate or platform in any election.

Further, THE METRO POLITAN supports the presence of a Board of Publications. Infact, just recently we were involved in the creation of a new Board, where we forsook our voting privileges in an effort to expediate the formation of the Board.

The purpose of Mr. ·wasinger's column is to provide a forum for student government news, tlzus taking some of the burden of coverage off THE METROPOLITAN. However, Mr. Wasinger chose instead to use the space for his own personal diatribes, and to expound upon his perceptions of racism on campus, the f acuity, Rhody McCoy, and so on. His closing comment is indicative of his personalization of this column.

Mr. Wasinger's assertion that THE METROPOLITAN does not think the students should have a voice in their own newspaper is patently absurd. Their voice is through letters to the editor. We have received more letters this semester than at any time in the past, and all have been published in accordance with our policy. Furthermore, we have always welcomed any comments, criticisms, and submissions for publication from all Auraria students, faculty, and staff.

In the last issue of THE METROPOLITAN (April 22, 1981, Vol. 3, issue 26) there appeared a fictitious campaign ad by Mr. Bill Leavitt giving the impression that the Black Student Alliance was supporting him in his campaign efforts.

This editorial is to state that the Black Student Alliance is not, in any way, supporting Mr. Leavitt, but in fact are supporting Misses Linda Manlove (Student Trustee) and Diane Whitaker (Student Affairs Committee).

We regret that this type of campaign method was used

by Mr. Leavitt. We would hope that this does not occur again. We would like to reiterate that we are supporting Mr. Loring Crepeau and the Winning Ticket in their campaign efforts.

This is a rebuttal to an article written by David Woodward and Mark Tamon that was prfoted in the April 8th issue of THE METROPOLITAN. It has come to my concern the rising tide of senseless articles that have been dreamed up with half-baked ideas from the authors' own fantasy world. The particular article which caught my attention starts off with two unrelated topics and ends by throwing in a third, all :. . the while adding unnecessary phrases such as, "the seething tide of Militarism." This gives the impression of 1930s Germany.

I for one, would like to know where the connection is between the intervention in El Salvador and ROTC being allowed on campus? Is it an intervention on your rights? In that case, how about the rights of the students who wish to take the program? Or are their rights expendable since there is a conflict of interest?

The only time I can see when ROTC would effect you is on the specified days when they wear their uniforms.

If the wearing of a uniform offends you then why not

protest against the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the other militarist groups that wear uniforms and teach patriotism, unity, and God forbid, leadership.

Granted, the United States' intervention in El Salvador and the draft are extremely important issues for the country as well as the campus community. But these are issues that personally affect you. I know that I don't want to be drafted and sent to El Salvador!

However, ROTC does not personally affect you, if you don't want to take it, then don't!

Why waste time with subjects that are not important?

When the Department of Military Sciences begins to capture unwary students and brainwashes them into believing that their way is the best (no questions asked), then blast them with everything you can think of. Until then, try and spare us students that take an unbiased approach to the problem from your over-written, under-thought ideas.

I find the prospect of responding to Mr. Wasinger's presidential report in this issue of THE METROPOLITAN to be an unpleasant and repugnant task. The general tone of the piece, with its innuendos and assumptions, becomes more degrading - with •- every reading - to the office of the President of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College.

Nevertheless, I feel the need to impart some insights on Mr. Wasinger's remarks.

First, the highest voter turnout in MSC history occurred in 1973, when nearly 5,000 students cast ballots on a referendum concerning conversion of the academic calendar from quarters to semesters.

Second, the Joint Committee was asked for approval of the referendum on February 5, 1981 - after the initial mail-out and be/ore the in-school distribution.

Third, my vote of disapproval on the referendum which I explained to anyone who asked - came because of the move to continue the referendum vote beyond the ·' · mailing out. I felt this was a move to keep the ballot box open for more than an equitable time period for response; and, such a result would cheapen the effeet of the referendum itself. I also bad questions on the referendum binding the members of the Student Affairs Committee during budget deliberations, since every elected ·member of any government should be bound by conscience, not statistics. (Incidentally, the request to note the negative votes in ASMSC official records came from Mr. Wasinger himself.)

Fourth, additional considerations since that meeting lead me to believe that considering the referendum as law would be an extreme disservice to students. The haphazard distribution of the referendum ballots on the - campus - including large unattended piles in lounges

and the student government office itself - made the vote open to fraud. In my interview with METROPOLITAN staff writer L.J. Clark, I noted one particular method to fix the results would be "roundtabling." This tactic, a favorite of Mayor Richard Daley in Chicago, could be accomplished with a student master list. Armed with a number of easily obtainable blank ballots, a few persons could write in a number of perfectly acceptable student l.D. numbers and mark ballots as they choose. By changing writing utensils and vote selections at random, the voter turnout could be heavy or light as wished. Class lists, of course, would do a smaller but no less effective job.

Fifth, I agree with Mr. Wasinger on a possible conflict of interest in my employment at THE METROPOLITAN and my chairing of the Student Affairs Committee. On the day of my election - and as lately as two days ago, during 1981-82 student fee budget deliberations - I announced my intentions to NOT participate in the discussion and vote concerning allocation of student fee money to THE METROPOLITAN. I remain firm to that pledge.

I tire quickly of Mr. Wasinger's irresponsible dogma.

I have taken the oath of office - as Student Affairs Committee member, President of ASMSC, Student Trustee Advisory Committee member, and Student Affairs Committee chair - to serve students as best I can.

My reasoning may not be simple or popular, but I stand by my beliefs. Let the students of MSC hope the next ASMSC administration shows more forethought "than the tantrum displayed in this issue today.

Avoid quagmire of LatinAmerica

by Mark David Travis When the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua signalled the U.S. that other Latin American nations were in danger of undergoing revolutionary upheavals against their U .S.-backed military governments, our embassy approved a 1979 "reformist" coup which installed a military-civilian junta in El Salvador.

That junta has proved incapable of stop-

ping the security forces and the army from terrorizing the El Salvadoran people, and most of the civilians have long since deserted it.

The Carter Administration's support for the coup, and its subsequent support for the El Salvadoran government, even as it pressured that government to institute U .S.-designed land reform, is typical of the way our foreign policy in the area bas mixed misguided moralism

and misguided self-interest. Carter made all the usual strategic arguments about El Salvador's geographic importance. He also reflected the liberal foreign policy view that we could co-opt communist influence in the Third Warid by pressing for U.S.-designed reforms, such as the El Salvadoran land reform program.

The Reagan Administration's attitudes reflect the same foreign policy approach.

Reagan, in line with his conservativism1 is

less interested in imposing "reform" on El Salvador than Carter was, but he is just as interested iti supporting and using El Salvador for our foreign policy purposes, regardless of the cost in freedom or human lives. Thus, both Carter and Reagan represent a continuation of our longstanding interventionist policies.

Reagan charges that he is fighting "communist subversion" in El Salvador.

In fact, the opposition movement in-

-1111

eludes socialists, democratic liberals, and business people, as well as Marxists. But the pertinent question is why communism finds such support in the Third World.

The answer is that communists are the only ones who support rebellion against Third World oppression - and the U.S. usually supports the oppress\ye regimes against which they rebel. We know that communist governments are just as oppressive as military regimes, but all El Salvadoran peasants know is that they want their land - and the United States is standing in their way.

Thus, in the long run, U.S. intervention is counterproductive. This is true in the short run, too - witness the collapse of U .S.-backed repressive regimes in _ Vietnam, Nicaragua and Iran. In addition, U.S. intervention supports the violation of the freedoms of the El Salvadoran people - indeed, their murder by their government. And last, but certainly not least, U.S. intervention abroad is used to justify our huge "defense" budget and draft registration;

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS BEGIN MAY AND JUNE

should U.S. "advisors" (50 are already there) be killed in El Salvador, our involvement may escalate, Vietnam-like, into war, or it may "justify" a draft.

As Libertarian Review Editor Roy Childs writes, "The Reagan ad- ' ministration's policies in El Salvador and elsewhere in the region ought to be resisted uncompromisingly by all freedom-loving Americans. Everyone concerned with this new adverturism in foreign affairs must once again make the â&#x20AC;˘ course of our entire foreign policy a matter for open public discussion. The American defense establishment and its media supporters are charging full-speed ahead into the quagmire of Latin America. It's time for someone to send , them a message.-t' ¡- ..,,.. ___ .... _.. ¡' .. .. - -

A history of intervention 1889 First recorded large-scale uprising against ruling class.

19th Century Latin America and Mexico are considered to be in U.S. "sphere of influence" by Monroe Doctrine; U.S. often intervenes on behalf of commercial interests.

20th Century U.S. intervention in Latin America & El Salvador ranges from sending in the Marines (T. Roosevelt) to encouragement of sta!e economic planning to keep econoffilc power centralized and insure the economic "stability" necessary to repay IMF, World Bank, and U.S. Agency for International Development loans. These loans have vested dictatorial power in the ''Fourteen Families" which control 90 percent of El Salvador.

Kennedy, Johnson ad1960 ministrations arm El Salvadoran military forces to guard against a repeat of Cuban-style revolution.

1967 ORDEN security force (70,000 strong compared to army of 15,000) formed to repress "disruptions" in rural areas.

1972 Military ignores election results and installs its candidate, Colonel Arthuro Molina, as President.

1972 Molina ousted after taking small steps toward land reform; Gen. Carlos Humberto Romero replaces him.

10/15/79 Romero overthrown with U.S. approval; military-civilian junta, including socialist Guillermo Ungo, installed.

1/3/80 Civilians quit junta because of continued military repression.

3/ 6/ 80 Three part land reform program announced; part is implemented, but it is not based upon peasants' property rights, so their land is still largely not in their hands.

4/ 1/ 80 $5.7 million in U.S. aid to regime approved.

4/11/80 Democratic Revolutionary Front (FDR) formed with Guillermo Ungo, formerly of the U.S.-backed military-civilian junta, at its head.

The above historical profile of El Salvadoran history is a brief review of the 450 years of tyranny, violence and economic exploitation which have characterized this feudal society in Latin America. Like many other Latin American governments, El Salvadoran regimes have been supported by the U.S. for almost 150 years.

Our reasons for backing oppression, murder, torture and land theft have varied from a desire to retain access to South American resources and sea lanes to the Panama Canal, to a pathological U.S. chauvanism about Latin America which maintains that the region is "ours." During this centwj, those motives, plus a thirst for the "stability" necessary to repay U.S.-backed loans, and a desire to mold other nations in our own corporate-statist image, have contributed to our support of an unbroken string of military dictatorships.

Beating the system: ''legal''·highs

by Paul Jaffe

Want to lose 10 pounds this week? _ Want to drive a rig from Denver to Miami non-stop? Want to work an eightIr hour shift, clean your house and then write a term paper? You may need some chemical assistance.

The Connection, a chain of four Denver-area stores which have opened in the last three weeks, sells "legal body stimulants." Quite intentionally, these -%. resemble illegal amphetamines ano are sold under names derived from black market slang.

The manager of the Westminister store is named Mickey. Mickey claims that at some point in the last 10 years, legal substances began turning up on what had Qi •been a black market for illegal stimulan- ~ ts. Licensed dealers would buy the tablets ~ or capsules in quantities of 1,000. The ~ pills would then find their way on to the :2 .. . . ~!!!•I street in smaller quantities - and at :::E ' ...i ' higher prices.

that the ad is for real. But, once they're in, they just smile and understand that this is the same stuff that everyone's been happy with on the street,'' Mickey says.

In an attempt to placate community groups, The Connection has included in these ads the statement, "Must be 18 years old to purchase," although this has no legal basis, according to Mickey.

Mickey, who has a non-prescription pharmaceutical license from the State and a general retail license from Westminster, has not been harassed by authorities. He says the same cannot be said of the main store on East Colfax.

"Police wander around the store in an attempt to scare customers away.

They've tried to rip open the seals and then arrest the store personnel for not having seals on the bottles."

Denver police deny any such harassment.

Mickey thinks the state legislature will inevitably outlaw the amQhetamine lookalikes sold by The Connection.

"There is no way we're going to be selling these for more than nine months," he says.

But Mickey thinks if a clientiele is built up, he can continue business even without stimulants. He also sells tea, fruit juice, vitamins, aloe vera cream, DMSO ("a very powerful painkiller"). jewelry and cigarette papers - not to mention "The· Magic Zit-Kit for Teen Skin."

Don't waste any time with 'Heaven's Gate'

by Emerson Schwartzkopf In. this week's Parade magazine, the lead investigative feature involved cruelty to animals during movie filming. Aniong the main offenders, as cited by a "watchdog" group on the film industry, is Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate.

Unfortunately, there exists no society for the prevention of curelty to movie audience. If such an august organization came into being to issue warnings against films, Heaven's Gate would recieve immediate and justifiable condemnation.

Heaven's Gate, above all, exists as a momument to waste. Throughout the movie, a lack of character development makes little or no use of talents like Christopher Walken or John Hurt; elaborate ·sets and scenery are used for small and vague purposes; and the 1lack of a solid storyline and plot leads to a waste of nearly two-and-a-half hours of an audience's time.

Audience consideration, however, played a major role in this particular version of Heaven's Gate. Originally a fourhour epic (with intermission), the film received universal critical disclaim after only a few select screenings late last year.

United Artisti>, with a $36 million invest-

ment in the movie, withdrew Heaven 's Gate from originally-scheduled Christmas distribution plans.

The present release of Heaven's Gate is a re-edited version; or to put the phrasing more accurately, this movie received a chop job. Heaven's Gate wanders so

by Emerson Scbwartzk-0pf

Face Dances, The Who's newest, shows the band still retains part of that ~ Mod influence with alterations. The 1981 offerings of Pete Townshend (and, intermittently, John Entwhistle) are the voice of the young rebels grown up, successful and uneasy in a world they originally chose to disdain.

The original anger of The Who eased J.over the 1970s to mellower reflections, as with Who Are You; Face Dances poses the questions of self once again. In some ways, the queries this time find answers.

However, the replies are more pragmatic than philisophical. The loss of Keith Moon robbed The Who of rock's \ most distinctive drummer; the similar death of Led Zepplin's John Bonham led that group to "presently" disband.

Moon's replacement, Kenney Jones, answers any questions on the Who's immediate future by his playing. Although not as flashy as Moon, Jones provides the

Part of that survival, though, bases itself on the creation of new sounds in rock, of growth and expansion in the music. The new wave movement of the late 1970s started rock moving in several new directions - including Ska, a revival of the Jamaican music of the mid-1960s.

Luckily, the Ska revival is now producing new hybrid sounds for rock in the 1980s. And, one of the new music leaders should be The Selecter.

This British band, along with The Specials, sparked initial interest in Ska; now, with their new release, Celebrate The Bullet, The Selecter stand to make their own way in rock.

Celebrate The Bullet, through its music and lyrics, casts further light on the new wave movement - and why The Selecter

The Metropolitan. April 29. 1981

The Rolling Stones hit bottom continued from page 13 themes with Celebrate the Bullet using shocking clarity. "Bombscare" and "Selling Out Your Future" take harsh swipes at repressive government and its effects; and "Bristol' and Miami, ~' speaking about discrimination and violent blacklash. becomes more relev'a nt with London's recent race disturbances in Brixton.

The quick dance music and hot political themes of Celebrate The Bullet make The Selecter appear more and more to be among rock's saviours for regerating the style in the 1980s. Unfortunately, they may have to steer around very prominent dead wood.

Last year, Bill Wyman announced he would leave The Rolling Stones in the next few years to promote a solo career.

If the action hastens the demise of these rock dinosaurs, perhaps a tax-free grant should be offered to Wyman as incentive.

Sucking In The Seventies does nothing to enhance the argument of The Rolling Stones remaining as a potent force in rock. Despite starting the 1970s as the hottest rock group, the Stones soon fell into parodying themselves before producting some awful discotheque music.

The Rolling Stones embody the dark side of 1970s rock music - the artists who never quit while still tolerable. The first side of Seventies, in a new twist of.a "best of" record, detail the absolute worst of The Rolling Stones, with "Hot Stufr' and "Fool To Cry." Even one o.fe the better Stones tunes of that mid-1970s era, "Time Waits For No One," is butchered by over a minute-and-a-half .of cutting.

The second side gives some indication of the Stones' now-dormant talent, with live versions of ''When The Whip Comes • Down" and the bluesy "Mannish Boy." "If I Were a Dancer," though, is a thin rework of the trendy New York influence on Emotional Rescue, where the Stones wallow in platinum album slop.

But, this becomes further proof of the Stones outliving their talent - and yetgaining a new set of fans unfamiliar with "Heart of Stone" and "19th Nervous Breakdown. " The young rebels are rapidly turning into old farts; Sucking In The Seventies. in doing its part, smells.

Badly.

This is a particularly difficult category to win because the competition includes ~e major corporations in Colorado. The three newspaper advertisements that were submitted ran in the Fall 1980 and Spring 1981.

John Grant, president of Grant and Associates, created the advertisements as well as other marketing tools to help .,_ MSC increase its present enrollment.

Cimino bites the Western dust continued from page 12 with.

The problem with Cimino's version of the Johnson County War comes with a lack of reasoning for the conflict itself.

The struggle between immigrants and cattlemen is hazily defined; is the animosity based on fraudulent land claims, the stealing of livestock, okr what?

Cimino overlooks this key point; his main contention is the prospect of war between the old frontier settlers and the new, .foreign peoples. And, the viewers of Heaven's Gate get lots of war. Shotguns blow apart stomachs. Errant sticks of dynamite blow up horses. And, those persons killed by the stockman's hired group of mercenaries die the Bonnie and

Clyde method of screen death - gaining at least 10 pounds· of leaded weight before becoming statistics.

And, during all the killing, Cimino rarely establishes the real killer and killed. major characters disappear during gunfights, resurface and appear to be shot, and then return unscathed during another shootout.

For some of the actors in Heaven's Gate, a quick death early on would've benefited their professional reputations.

While Kris Kristofferson mumbles through a whiskey haze as the noble;• idealistic sheriff, fine actors such as Christopher Walken, John Hurt, and Sam Waterston drown in stilted supporting roles. Hurt, known for The Elephant Man and Caligula on PBS's I Claudius, portrays a rich drunk providing nothingtllli more than comic relief; Waterson, a-veteran stage actor, wanders through Heaven's Gate as a heavy with nothing more than an evil smirk and an incredulous fur hat.

Only Walken gives anything near a worthwhile performance in Heaven's Gate; his icy indifference to killing, co~ bined with a tender attraction to the town whore and the downtrodden immigrants is the only insight in the entire film to the true frontier character, the survivalist with morals and habits shaped by the land, not society. But Walken's character, as with every role in Heaven 's Gate, , . never comes to full foruition. Personalities are subdued, building the film for a emotional confrontation never occuring in the end.

Michael Cimino, as sole writer and director of Heaven's Gate, must bear responsibility for this tragic mess of 11 film. On only his third major film, Cimino tried to piece together a patchwork of idealism, frontier life, and America - with a large part of ego on the side. The result is an overlyind ulge n t, incomprehensible conglomeration of film clips; after $3emillion and much consternation, the film still looks unfinished and unwanted.

The tragedy becomes more sad with the remembrance of Cimino's most famous previous effort - The Deer Hunter.

While Cimino effectively recounted the painful lessons of Vietnam in The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate portrays the Johnson County War as a meaningless battle bearing no lessons and no results . . . just death.

Just as with Vietnam, the killing in end-of-the-frontier Wyoming meant much more; the concrete conclusions·; however, elude Cimino, Heaven's Gate, and the movie audiences unfortunate to witness this cinematic disaster.

It took over five months for Heaven's Gate to eventually open in neighborhood theatres. The closing should be sooner and final.

Soccer: blend of talent and effort ~

by Tenon Hutt

With a record of 8-2-1 the MSC Women's Soccer team looks forward to ending the Spring semester with a fine record and a hopeful spot in the regionals this Fall.

Harry Temmer, head coach remarked, lliJ"''We have a tremendous program. The participation in the program has been fantastic; the purity of the MSC Athletic y

school teams ready."

Temmer also stated MSC is enjoying a higher degree of credibility this year. ' 'The girls represent MSC well; the school can be proud of the team," Temmer added.

"The girls know if we get it together we have a shot to qualify at the regionals.

Beth Wilkerson, a junior, is definitely a scoring threat to whom ever she plays and Cindy Labriola, a freshman, has grown

players coming into the team J:!OW have had IO years experience. So, there is a lot of interest here. Soccer is a good sport and a lot of people play.''

Head Coach Temmer wraps it up with, "We maintain positive energy and attitude. We try to get the women to believe in themselves and in each other. We want them to play together as a team; we don't want to be selfish. This kind of thing makes for a good team. Even the worst player is part of the team. We maximize talent and team effort."

/£.~m• ·-Program is a positive thing. " The students are not here because they're getting paid - there are no big scholarships here," Temmer said.

A soccer coach for 15 years, Temmer can look back and see this tea m's progress.

J/I The MSC Women's Soccer team has been in operation for six years and are in their second year of varsity play. " The club before was funded by the girls themselves, and they played against other high school clubs then," Temmer ; aid. "MSC helped in community involvement and in getting other high

up in Junior Soccer Leagues and has a lot of skills. She has provided many assists lo Beth this year," Temmer proudly said.

Bill Chambers, assistant coach for the team commented, " We have a pretty phenomenal team, composed of 75 percent freshmen, who really play well. We had trouble with our defense the first couple of games."

"We're always interested in getting new players especially with women - not many come out. The men have been established so there's no problem there," Chambers said.

He added, "Some of the freshmen

Cure the bllies with Churchill Downs The thundering hooves of champion thoroughbreds will pound their way around the track at Churchill Downs "' this Saturday in the 107th Kentucky Derby.

The emerging favorite in this year's run for the roses is Proud Appeal, the winner of last Thursday's Blue Grass Stakes. Proud Appeal has an impressive career record of eight wins in • nine starts, five of which were this year.

Tap Shoes is another contender, but has only raced twice this year. The condition of the track at race time will be of great importance since this horse ~· has difficulty with sloppy or muddy K tracks. Tap Shoes was scratched from competition in the Blue Grass Stakes because the track was in bad condition.

.t'J:·r

'

..,

Another likely entrant is Cure the Blues. Cure the Blues had a perfect record of six wins in six starts, but lost to Proud Appeal earlier this year.

Nevertheless, the horse remains a contender.

This year's Kentucky Derby is likely to have between 15 and 20 horses entered; 20 horses is the maximum allowed.

Other likely entrants include Bold Ego (winner of the Arkansas Derby), Pleasant Colony, Double Sonic, and Always A Cinch.

No Derby story would be complete without a predition. For the record, I predict the outcome to be Cure the Blues, Proud Appeal, then Tap Shoes in third. The race will be broadcast on television, the mint juleps are up to you.
