Club security problem resolved by ~rian Coffey-Weber

The dilemma of no security.:.no meeting has been solved for the • Iranian Culture Club: The UCD Executive Council has agreed to pay _the <;lub's security bifr' for the next few weeks according to Nancy Scott, UCD's dean of student affairs. , "To deny them the opportunity to meet was unfair," Scott said.

"If they are a recognized club '(which they are) they should be able to meet." · _. The need for security at' the ... club's meetings arose after the club was involved in a skirmish with a pro-Khomeini group Sept. /· 18 in the Student Center.

The culture club was attacked ~ and def~nded itself during a special film presentation. Several of the attackers were injured and 14· were arrested.

Gary McManus, director of the <Student Center, said the descretionary policy of requiring security at certain events has always been available to the Student Center management. · He said in his eleven months on · !

... --.. '

the job it has been imposed only one other time-for a Cinco de Mayo festival.

McManus also said he is taking ·a wait-and-see attitude .toward further application of the policy.

He added it depended on the nature of the program but he did not think he would apply the policy much longer.

Following the incident The Metropolitan was told by several administrators the club would be required to hire an APS officer to be present at all its events. The understanding was that this polcy applied to the club's weekly meetings and its periodical specialevents - _whether held during regular Student Center hours or

after hours.

A spokesman for the culture club said it has ·never been required to hire security including the night of the attack.

The club says it was informed a week after the incident that it would have to hire security for all its events.

UCD student gov't head -re~igns

Ci~ing "personality problems"

which resulted in the"image of student government suffering," the Chairperson of the Executive Council of UCD' resigned her positon ·effective _, Septem_b er 24. ' After serving nearly six months of h~r one-year tenure, Ivonne L. Molina termed her resignation "a m~tter of principle".

The Vice-Chairman and Director of Internal Affairs Tom Hanna, has ascended to the posi-

tion of Acting Ch~rperson pending the selection by the Executive Council of a replacement for Molina. Hanna said that it would be difficult to replace any member of the Council since the Council is, in a sense, "in midstream, and it would be hard to educate someone" to the goings on in U~D goverment.

While Acting Chairperson Hanna seems to be,the·imminent selection to assume the Chairpersonship, he has indicated he "wants to take some time to think

about it". f In surmising other reasons why Molina stepped down, Nancy Scott, dean of ·student affairs, suggested the demands of being a pre-med student may have influenced her decision. · An exrerpt from her letter of resignation reads as follows: ''As it has been noted .my style of doing things and getting things done is not to the liking of several members of Council and officers of student groups." continued on page 10

We're shedding light on special phone needs.

For someone with a hearing difficulty, this phone can shed some light on the problem. Because whe,n it rings, the light starts flashing. And on the inside of the handset, there could be a volume control to amplify the.caller's voice. So even though someone might not hear as well as other people, that person can use the phone just as well as anyone.

And that's the whole idea behind the Mountain Bell Telecommunications Center for Disabled Customers. Helping people with phones like this one so a disablity won't be a barrier to phone conversation.

At the Center, we have phones and equipment that can help with a hearing or vision disability.

Impaired speech. And limited mobility. And if we don't already have an answer to a specific phone need, we'll work to find one. .

If you, or someone you know, could use our special phones and services, we'd like to hear from you. Call us, toll-free, atourTelecommunications Center for Disabled Customers any weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (The numbers are listed below.) Or call at your convenience and leave a recorded message. ~'ll get back to you the next business day. So you'll have a phone you can use when you want to use the phone.

_ Parking decal ~ule eases some problems

' l.______,.,...-~b~y_R_._P_._Be_U_iz_z_i~~.~~ The saga of parking at Auraria continues.

In still another effort to reduce the ,.. .snarled parking conditions on the Auraria campus, the ·Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) is now requiring that all vehicles using lot E ·(direct).y west of the Tivoli building) have Auraria parking decals.

Also, a substantial rate increase was •. instituted t<;> discourage downtown workers from overrunning the limited campus parking. The amount charged to people without a valid decal wanting to park in lots P and Q (between HPER building and Speer Blvd.) has been

.. increased from $2 to $4 a day. Parking personnel report very few motorists have been willing to pay that amount.

In a related development, the Parking Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives from Aurari~ students, faculty and staff, voted to recommend to the AHEC Board of Directors that decals be required in all Auraria parking lots.

According to Raul Gomez, director of administrative services, only a total of 9,000 parking decals have been purchased since the decal program was instituted in January of this year. If the decal requirement were to go into effect campus-wide, Gomez expects "the purchase of decals could approaeh 30,000".

Gomez also indicated he recently "instituted paperwork" in an effort to have the area at the northwest corner of campus leveled off for parking. The lot has been designated lot "Temporary U".

Perhaps these temporary remedies will lead to permanent solutions.

Student ,·loan default rate rises WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) A slightly higher percentage of students defaulted on their federalstudent loans in 1980 than in 1979, according to statistics just released by the U.S. Dep~rtment of Education.

The numbers, incorporated in the · dep.artment's annual report to Congress, show 1,800,000 students failed to make paym~nts on some $828 million worth of National DirectStudent Loans (NDSL's) during the school year ending June 30,1980.

The year before,_ 875,000 students defaulted on NDSLs. The default rate in both years was aroungd 16 percent of the students who took out loans.

Students using Guaranteed Student Loans (GSLs) have a better record. The

default record was just under six percent of the total number of loans issued, an improvement over the 8.1 percent rate in 1979.

The report points out that the $4.8 million handed out in GSLs in 1980 equalled 25 percent of all the GSL money issued since GSLs started in 1966.

Skee Smith, a Dept. of Education spokeswoman, also noted at a pressconference that others did a better jobcollecting GSLs than the federal goverment. The default :r:ate among GSLsadministered by the goverment was 8.2 percent.

But the default rate among GSLsadministered by state and private loaners was just 4.2 percent in 1980.

news Legal Services: unnoticed but.needed

By Susan Forbes With money tighter than ever what student can ignore a virtually free Auraria offering: Legal Services.

The department offers confidential counseling on every day legal problems and the cost is included in the tuition package.

Tucked away in the southwest corner of the Student Center, the service often goes unnoticed by those it is meant to help.

Ken Shon, the program's new director believes it is his responsibility to make students aware·of the service and what it can do for them.

Shon has a message for Auraria; "Yes, Virginia there is a Legal Service."

Shon adds that for cases that do require •court1time, a lawyer referral service is available. Though arrang~ments with the Auraria program, these attorneys give students free initial and/or sliding fee schedules. with the Auraria program these attorneys give students free initial , andlor sliding fee schedules.

Those intervieWed who have taken advantage of the service found it to be a positive experience, saving them time and money.

The student governments of UCD and MSC fund the program from student fees.

Employing a part-time staff which includes _a director, an attorney_, a secretary and a para-legal, the service advises students on subjects ranging from marriage dissolution to traffic violations.

Student use has been on the rise since 5l the program was established by UCD in ~ 1978, but it will only reach an estimated .!11 700 out of 22,000 students this year. ~ Shon blames this on the lack of a pro- g gram director for six months in 1980 and Ci5 • • • , that it received no publicity.

What type of person is regularly involved in such sports as laCrosse, squash or tennis; refers to their mother as "Mummy"; takes regular "outings" to Aspen (winter) and Bermuda (whenever); and monograms everything he or she owns - right down to their socks?

A) A busy-bodied, spoiled 15-year-old lad involved in every sport imaginable, sans football. "Mummy", as he calls his mother ( because he has a head cold), has marked most of his belongings with his initials. "He must not lose a thing, "as he engages in fifty sports yearly."

B) A wealthy young British lass like the one wh? asks in Supertramps' song, Breakfast in America,"Could we have kippers (smoked fish) for breakfast, Mummy?" She is enroute to her home in Middlesex, England following a visit With her "grandmummy" in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Grandmummy taught herembroidery and she is stitching the finishing touches of her initials on her argyles.

C) A preppy.

H you answered anything but C, you need some education. "The Officia.l Preppy Handbook" could help you. This article may be a little assistance also.

To begin at the beginning - as they say - is best so what is a preppy?

A) A name Ali McGraw called Ryan O'Neil in the movie "Love Story".

B) Someone with one white or navy Izod shirt (it goes with everything), worn either every day, or when applying for employment at the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream Store (Tamarac Square location, please).

C) A person whose dress, activities and frame of mind is akin to his or her "proper breeding," financial status and frivolous education.

Again, C is the "Prepper" choice.

True preppies live their image, not playact.

Auraria is not likened to Princeton (a top ten prep college), but there are a few who do enjoy the functional styles of our eastern counterparts. Don't be mistaken, though, J.C. Penny "foxes" or K-Mart "blue-light" khakis will not suffice. Emily Laurence (also at Tamarac) is the ladies store, and posh Homer Reed is the male choice.

There:s a certain lifestyle that surrounds a preppy arid according to theofficial handbook it contains some strict requirements.

Your dog must not be a pedigree French Poodle. They are definately most un-prep. A preppies pick of-the litter would" either be a Golden Retriever Black Labrador. or English Sheepdog'.

Say good-bye to your prep image if you drive a '73 Ford Maverick, like most students. A BMW, a slick Peugeot, or Colorado's favorite, a Jeep, will drive you happy.

Finally, you must be well read. During your time at the Preparatry School; you will read Catcher in the Rye, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. In college you will graduate to the classics, that most non-preppers dread.

However, you'd have to be born in Izod

I' '•'

Student Body Presidential Report lA>ring Crepeau, ASMSC President A dilemma exists on this campus which is unfair and counterproductive to clubs here. A club which keeps its doors open to students of all three institutions is in fact limiting itself, as far as recognition/funding opportunities exist. Take for example the Lesbian/Gay Resource Center. This group doesn't have recogniion from UCD, although it offers membership to students of all three schools on campus. Why? Because the group doesn't have any UCD students as officers or a UCO Fac~ty Advisor. The LGRC cannot expect to get any funding from UCD, even though UCO members of the group contribute to the UCO student fees, which is the source of club funds from UCO. A solution must be found. This problem was discussed at the Tri-Internationl Leadership Conference (September.,.26th}, and there was a general· consensus that recognition and funding by the representative bodies of the three institutions must in some way be standardized. Some of the ideas brought up included the formation of a central body, composed of members of all three student goverments, which would establish a standard recognition form, deadline for application, requirements for recognition, and a funding schedule dependent on relative membership from the three institutions. These clubs would then be considered as being recognized campus-wide. Given the consent of all three student governments on this matter, these clubs would have more avenues of funding for specific events, trips, and office supplies. This would also supply the student governments with a good communication network relative to club funding, so that abuses of the system could be effectively prevented.

I'm going to look into this situation with the representatives of CCD-A and UCO. I feel that an equitable solution can be found and implemented.

The issue of Faculty Advisors for clubs is also important. What is a Faculty Advisor? Why is a Faculty Advisor? (sic} This issue came to a head this semester at MSC. AHEC would reserve a room for a club to hold an event without first getting the Faculty Advisor's signature. This led to events being present. In these cases, Gina Johnson, Director of Student Activities at MSC, was required to attend these events. Since that time an agreement was made with AHEC, wherein AHEC wouldn't approve any room reservation by a club without that club's Faculty Advisor having signed the request form.

Another problem exists with club Faculty Advisors:

If a club want to be recognized by all three institutions, does that club necessarily need a Faculty Advisor from each institution? Further, would it be possible for the position of Co-Faculty Advisor to be created? This position could be utilized between and within the three instituitions. This would lead to a

mor~ supportive and flexible body of Faculty Advisors for each club. This multiple-advisor condition would mean less time commitment on the part or the individual Faculty AdvisOr, yet mean a higher commitment level to the clubs on the part of the faculty. This would also prevent the problem suffered by the • LGRC; with_the option to co-advise a club, faculty members from all three institution could be enlisted for their help, and clubs could gain easy recognition.

One last issue: What are the requirements of a Faculty Advisor to a club? What should that Advisor be expected to contribute, in terms of time and e)lergies? This is one area which needs to be defined. I ·' will work with the representatives of CCD-A and UCD student governments to create a definitive description of what is expected of a Faculty Advisor.That way, a club will know what to expect of a Faculty Advisor, while the faculty member will know exactly what will be expected of him or her upon agreeing to be that club's advisor.

uest editorial

~valuation ,procedure It is a truth universally·acknowledged that the purose of faculty evaluation is improvement of instruclon. Why must that desirable outcome be so nvariably frustrated by the grafting of a reward nechanism onto every plan for evaluating teaching? "ivaluating for the purpose of improving instruction s fundamentally incompatible with evaluting for the When evaluation iurpose of distributing rewards. s · undertaken· in order to improve instruction, an ~tmosphere of trust and security is essential. The intructors gather data about their performances hrough student CQmments, peer- observations, and my other practical means. The purp<?se of the inrestigation is to discover what can be improved, to dentify weaknesses.

In my twenty years of teaching - nine as department chair - I have found that teachers genuinely value information about their weaknesoos, provided it is generated in an atmosphere of confidentiality. Most of us welcome the insight in_$p our performance which student comments provide, particularly the kind where the students record their views in their own words. Most of us also value the opportunity fpr a frank discussion of observations made by a respected and trusted rolleague (though I doubt that anyone is entirely comfortable during the observation process).

Once aware of a weakness, we appreciate a chance to work on it privately according to our own l~ghts.

We are most likely to respond positively if we can ..evaluate the evaluation"; advice taken with a grain of salt is always more palatable. There is, of course, an o_ccasion for self-deception here, but far less than when threat arouses all our. defensive mechanisms. And threat is the keynote of evaluation undertaken for the purpose of distributing rewards-and by inescapable implication, penalties.

When one submits to an evaluation process that purports to be able to distinguish degrees of excellence in <kder to reward them proportionately, the concern is no longer to discover weaknesses but rather to -advertise strengths. Who wants to be candid about weaknesoos at the expense of nt'.xt year's salary?

Moreover, the forum becomes a much more public one: eventually everyone (it seems) will examine the salary schedule and discover jHSt how one was rated.

As a consequence, the issues of validity and reliability · become critical.

I may be willing, at least in principle, to share the cost of rewarding someone who teaches better than I (that is how the rewards are financed), but I also want to be assured that the judgement is rigorously correct.

At this point begins interminable haggling about criteria and methodology and legality - while the prospect of improved instruction evaporates.

Even if an evaluation were undertaken solely for the purpose of rewarding superior teaching, could it succeed? Given the state of the art today, I think not. To .Pistinguish even a few crude degrees of excellence requires the capacity to measur~ with some accuracy many extremely subtle facets of an imtr1:1ctor's behavior. Just one example, surely not insignificant: Does the instructor call on those students who will profit from reciting while avoiding those whose shyness would make the experience counterproductive? An ""observer would have to be present for weeks just to hazard a guess· on that, and yet it is just such subtle factors that make the difference between the good and the better teachers. But even if a fair number of such factors could' be measured, how are they to be weighted? Is my example of equal importance with the ~next such item that might come to mind? Or twice as •important? No one I have heard of pretends to be able to answer such questions with the kind of precision necessary to justify moving dollars from one person's pocket to another's. (Notice the difference between making such adamant assertions and tactfully suggesting that a different approach be tried.)

evaluated

Since it would be hardly cost-effective to place a superlatively skilled observer in every classroom throughout each semester, it eventually occurs to everyone that the sttidents are already there, and their perceptions can be garnered at virtually no cost. Certainly, the students have a unique perspective, and the significance of how they perceive the instructional enviroment is not to be minimized. I have already mentioned how valuable anecdotal responses can be in the context of trying to discover how to improve, but in the context or ranking performancer, these are as useless as any other,observer's subjective estimate. In order to be objectively comparable, student responses (or anyone's) must be expr~ in numbers: everyone must choose from the same sets of answers on the same set of questions (frequently inane). Immediately the problem arises of what ·questions to ask and how to weigh the answers. The solution doesn't seem to matter much because, in my experience at least, very little discrimination is found in the results. I have never encountered an "objective" evaluation summary which rated any instructor below average on even a single item/ Clearly, the average instructor is above average. .

Still, enthusiasts for accountability (they have given us a lot of expensive "countability" without having accounted for much at all) point out studies that show student evaluations "correlate well" with teaching performance. Two objections (at least) cannot be ignored: First, "correlate well" is not the same as "correlate perfectly"; an individual's cl~m of being the ~ception to the statistical probability may be valid.

Second, what do the studies show student evaluation to correlate with? Are we overlooking some more reliable measure of teaching performance? Nearly all such studies use student scores on "objective" tests administered to multiple sections of the same course. ~ mea~ relatively elementary courses, where multiple sections occur, and subject matter that lends . itself to objective examinations. Can the results be extrapolated to other kinds of courses? My guess is that they can, but I don't want to defend myself against a law suit on the basis of my guess.

What then is to be done? First of all, let the carrying out of evaluation be insisted on. I, for one, don't always get around it if it isn't required. But let the purpose be only to give the insights that make improvement possible. I conten~ that ac,tual improvement will almost invariably follow if a conductive atmosphere is maintained. But the attempt to incorporate a reward mechanism will not only fail of that purpose but also largely preclude any consequent improvement of instruction.

Indeed, instruction may even deteriorate as a result of the invidious comparisons which result from evaluation aimed at ranking teaching performance.

Teachers, no l~ than students, require a positive selfimage in order to function well. They agree with the students in rating themselves above average (93 % in one study). They are not wrong, except in the strict arithmetical sense.' Modem parlance has hopeleSsly confused "average" with "mediocre,'' and I doubt that even mathc;riaticians are immune from the corruption at every moment. I can 1mert with confidence that nearly every faculty member at Metropolitan State College is better than mediocre. It is in the best int~rests of quality instruction to endorse and reward the faculty's perception of theii excellence. The contrary approach - to divide a faculty into, say, three groups - is to systematically demoralize two-thirds of them. Much energy which 'o ught to go into teaching will be turned to attacking the validity of the procedures and the integrity of the evaluators. Much invaluable dedication will be simply stifled.

It will ~m to some that I am proposing to tolerate the incompetent and the irresponsible; not so. The kind of evaluation system I support calls for the routine review of the materials generated in a supportive atmosphere. Really poor teaching, though seldom

encountered, is not easily conceilled. The department chair will perceive that it is happening and take humane, supportive measures to help such a teacher improve. Should these fail, investigation would be mounted to verify the suspicions.

There is alsq a way to introduce evaluation data into · promotion and other reward processes without contaminating the indispensible atmosphere of trust and security necessary to promote improvement of instruction. Persons who seek promotion, for instance, choose to put their evaluations into competition. Perhaps it woud be well to make recognition for exceptional service contingent on a similar choice. Such initiative having been taken most complaints would be disarmed, yet the integrity of ~valuation for instructional improvement could remain intact.

These reflections are the fruit of several years' experience administering past evaluation programs nearly all of it unpleasant and, as I perceive it, counterprodnctive. I believe the kind of system I have suggested would be productive. The kind I have deplored will lead to endless dissension and little good.

(The foregoing is not critical of the recent work by the faculty committee on evaluation qut rather of the parameters within which they were required to operate.)

John Spradley Chairman of MSC's English Department Editors note The views of the preceding guest editorial are those of the writer and are not necessarily shared by The Metropolitan.

The Metropolitan encourages more faculty and staff - as well as students to-use this publication to voice their opinions, complaints and observations about the Auraiia campus or other pertinent issues.

The Metropolitan does request, however, that future letters and guest editorials be no more than 300 to 500 words long.

Night students' problems cited Dear Sir; Why is it made difficult for the working person to attend night cliwes at U.C.D.? A reasonable hum~n being would think that the University would try to help the working class, for nothing else, to attract more students.

This is not the case. For example: l. Mail reglstration forms are always received too late, forcing walk-in registration (which should be renamed walk-in confusion).

2. Room assignments are rarely correct, and · reassigned rooms may be at the opposite end of the campus.

3. Parking is atrocious. To park close, one needs a parking permi~ which is dispensed before 5:00 p.m. in spite of most working people getting off work at 4:30 p.m. Without a permit, one must park in unrestricted lots, Vs mile from cliw. However, unrestricted lots can become-restricted overnight, prompting one to consider metered lots, with 2 hour meters that don't consider 3 hour classes.

4. The rooms are generally nice, except for the lights that alternate between on and off, or buzz so loud as to not be able to hear the instructor.

5. Grade disbursement is easy, if you can get to the East Student Center (which has no parpng) before 5:00 p.m., or send a self-addresses, stamped envelope, the cost of which surely could be taken out of tuition.

I could expand on all of these items, or even list more, but the average night student knows what I am talking about.

The bottom line is: Why? Richard Sturniolo_

by Mark Helm I "THE AD~ OF PICASSO•..A 1HOUSAND LOVING LIE.5 ..

To be shown at 11ie Flick in November "The Adventures of Picasso . . . A Thousand Loving Lies", is a funny, very clever Swedish film about the life and times of Pablo Picasso. The film stars Gosta Ekman as Picasso, who bumbles his way through a very inept (uncommon) youth.

Picasso's life is sketched via humorous vignettes which find the artist in all sorts of doubtful situations and acting in an -even more improbable manner. Early in the film we are treated to a view of how the first cubist painting was conceived: Picasso is inspired by an incredibly silly apple-eating flamenco dance performe<! by his father.

Picasso's father then proceeds to sell the painting to Gertrude Stein by hoo1', line and sinker, literally. He uses a fishing pole and reels the painting in front of Stein's nose in an art gallery.

Stein is the narrator of the film and is, oddly enough, played by Bernard Cribbins - in drag.

The comedy is slapstick, but it is witty and original enough to carry the film until near the end when the serious side of the film smoothly takes over, asking questions of Picasso the artist and we the viewers.

A strong element of the film ls how it skillfully blends the humorous with the serious. Though the comedy is slapstick, just underneath the jokes lies the biting edge of reality that shows itself early -in the film and then even more so toward the end.

In the last quarter of the movie, the narrator challenges Picasso by asking how, if the artist is socialistic, can he justify his income which he receives in a capitalistic manner? Picasso replies that

art is for all of man to enjoy. Stein then points out some fishermen nearby who are cleaning their nets. Picasso is asked, "Those fishermen need your art as everyone else does?" Picasso insists yes, of course they do. To prove the point he hastily sketches "un vrai Picasso" and hands it to one of the fishermen who accepts the sketch politely. But, when Picasso turns to leave, the fishermen show it among themselves and burst out laughing and then begin to make gestures towards it; one being to use the sketch as toilet paper.

Thus the serious question arises: is art for all mankind or only for those who have means and time to appreciate the things that are above the level of day-today survival? Do the fishermen of the world have the time to enjoy or understand art when they must spend their days working just to keep from starving?

Another serious thought that the film provokes is the idea of Picasso's works being turned into a corporation. (The capitalistic contradiction, once again.)

Since Picasso was so su~ul during his own lifetime, the film wonders: is Picasso better off than other artists who never achieve superstardom while they are living? A very difficult question to answer.

Mixing comedy with philosophical questions asked of both Picasso and the viewer, "The Adventures of Picasso" is a film to be seen, enjoyed and pondered.

It is a film that will be liked by Picasso buffs - all art fans in general - and even by those who know nothing of art.

And while many of the jokes and s~fs do require knowledge of the artist's life and colleagues, the film present them in an unarrogant fashion, to inspire the further study of Picasso rather than to alienate the viewer.

Do not let the fact that this is a foreign

the almost elementary oil drawing of Tete (Head), each painting evokes a particular emotion. Every picture, however, epitomizes Picasso's imaginative flair. .

The collection, painted between 1941 to 1972, also contains several pictures with a sexual motif. Picasso, it seems, ·was fascinated by the matter-of-fact treatment of sexuality in art.

One colorful crayon portrait titled &igneurs (Bathers) depict_s a nude woman and a man side by side. Though obviously sexual, the painting is not offensive. Rather, it is comical as many of his drawings-both sexual and nonsexual-tend to be.

Other paintings with erotic themes are more subtle. Picasso was truly ingenious at the hidden illusion of sex, as he said:

"I wish to reach the point where the viewer cannot see how I painted my picture. What does it matter?My only wish is that nothing but emotion rises from my picture."

Gallery 609, started in July, 1979 by Gordon S. Rosenblum, has previouslr exhibited collections by noted artists like Hans Hofmann, Oskar Fischinger and Jacques Lipchitz.

Located at 609 E. Speer Blvd. (between Washington and Pearl), the Gallery is open from 10 am to 2 pm, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 10 am to 12 pm Saturday throughOctober 30.

Admission is $2.00 per person; $1.00 for students and seniors. Group tours may be arranged. film scare you,,.,lf you have never seen a foreign film, this is a good one to start with. There are no subtitles and the narration is in English. Although there is some Spanish and French in the film, the action is the most important part of each scene, eliminating the need for subtitles. One would not be entirely incorrect to call this a silent film, either. · Picasso called art a lie that reveals reality. This film is full to the brim with lies- not the vicious sort but the fun, satirical kind. It seems fitting that such a great artist as Plcasso should be honored by this original and extremely clever look at his life.

Gaijin-waste of time and film

-

" Reviewer learns a lesson and gives one

by Mark.Helm

It is neither fun nor an easy thing to write a review of a bad movie·. ~One reason is, after having the unfortunate experience of wasting 105 minutes of one's life, it is best to forget it happe~ed and do something a little more interesting such as physics homework.

I never dreamt I would rather be ~ing physics homework than watching a movie but it happened when I saw Gaifin: A Brazilian Odyssey, at the Flick Theatre. It opened Oct. 2 and unfortunately will continue until Oct. 15.

One word could suffice in describing ~is film, it sucked. The story, the acting, the production, the soundtrack, everything was bad. One redeeming quality of thjs-film: it is so bad it gives us a lesson in what makes a bad movie.

Since most peopl~ are reluctant to spend $4 and two hours of their valuable tJ.me being miserable, I will prescribe the proper technique of watching bad movies.

One way to find a bad movie is to look in the movie section of the daily paper.

If it is a bad movie it probably will have a bad advertisement; as is the case with Gaifin. The ad states this film won the 1980 George Sadoul Prize for the best first feature. This is your first clue. Who the hell is George Sadoul anyway?

So you find a potentially bad film and you head for the cinema. Your suspicions are confirmed as you watch the ~ovie: the story is obvi0usly poorly written, again as in the case of Gaifin.

Gaijin blandly depicts a group of Japanese immigrants who travel to Brazil seeking fame and fortune on the numerous coffee plantations around the turn of the century. This could have been an excellent story to tell but the writters never let us get involved with any of the characters to any extent.

The main character; Titoe, we never C9me to know. This is fatal for the film .

The more we know why the character does this or that, the more we can relate to and care about the character.

The next bad thing we notice is the acting. The acting in this film was stiff and shoddy, but it may not be all the actors' fault. If we do not know any of the characters lmagine how the actors must nave felt trying to act like people they did not know.

Now we are really into finding errors with this abysmal movie since we begin to resent wasteing our time. The production of the movie is definitely B grade, as in Gaifin. Scenes have heads cut off (photographically speaking) and the cameraman seems as if he is filming while jumping on a trampoline. Maybe someone forgot the tripod.

One very good example of poor production occured when the actors strayed -{oo close to the movie lights giving the effect of filming during a nuclear explosion. This technique is often incorporated into many home movies of Thanksgiving dinner . and other memorable occasions.

The only other time I have seen worse

production was in the movie Coma. In _the one that is in Gaifin. In fact, soundthat forgetable film the editors left in track is not really the correct" word for scenes where the microphone was clear- one portion of a song played over and ly visible at the top of the screen. (Be over throughout the movie. How about sure to look for it the next time it is on statictrack?

A soundtrack should be used to HBO).

Finally in the typical bad movie, we enhance a film. If it's good one it will are becoming quite annoyed with the flow so naturally with the film it is hardsound track. Yes, you guessed it, just like ly noticed. The soundtrack to Taxi ,

Driver is an excellent example of one of the ffnest movie scores ever written and Gaifin is the opposite.

The movie ends and we have a better idea of what hell must be like if it exists.

We are furious and think more than :mce of demanding our money back. But we are so glad to be out of the theater that we do n?t. continued on page 10

Resignation

Bad film

continued &o1;11 page I

continued from page 9 We begin to forget that we blew $4.00 and 2 hours on a piece of trash. so we go home and watch a bad movie on T. V because we can turn the ~hannei whenever we want. We do -not turn the channel though because, what the heck, it's free and there isn't anything else on.

Bad films are like bad grades: no one wants to see them but they always pop up every now and then. And when'they do the only thing you can do is try to learn something from the bad experience.

In commenting on her resignation, Molina described her style as being ."by the book". What she termed an "emotional involvement toward a challenge" was construed as her being ..powerhungry" by some Council members she said.

Molina indicated her main objective upon ta1dng office April l was to "maintain .a strong alliance with the administration". In elaborating, she stated she wanted to keep the administration "aware of and in touch with" the needs and desires of the students. She mentioned that all too often rulings affecting UCD were "handed down" from Boulder without any UCD input.

The former Chairperson opined that her employment at UCD as a statistician for Affirmative Action, in addition to her involvement with a chancellor search committee combined to make her ''over-qualified" for her position as Chairperson.

She feels that her familiarity with the operations of UCD administration, as well as with specific administrators, was intimidating to other Executive Council members.

Molina commended the previous council administration for leaving a minimum of loose ends, allowing the present Council to adress new and current issues. The Executive Council acts as liason between UCD Administratidn and the various student clubs, groups, and interests. The Council allocates monies from student fees to these factions as it sees fit.

When asked what advice she might •

the Colorado American CiVil Liberties Union (ACLU) was told of the security policy by an MSC professor. Joy told The Metropolitan: .

"We thought it (the arbitrary security policy) was illegal. If we were contacted (by the culture club) we~d be more than interested in helping· them."

Joy said it was unfair to charge the peaceful students for security when they had done nothing wrong.

Doug Vaughan of the Auraria chapter of the International Committee Against Racism strongly a~eed with Joy and commended the student government for assisting the dub. ·Though the situation is more or less resolved, Vaughan still feels it ·is a dangerous and racist action because it almost caused the club's demise.

Vaughan said any action with such a devastating consequence is totally racist and should be abolished.
