_ Bottled water company cleans up 1 by Brian Coffey-Weber

What a difference two weeks can make. H and A Sales, which produces ;King Soopers' generic artesian bottled water and the company that recently came under scrutiny for unsanitary plant operations, has completed an ambitious remodeling job to drastically im1>rove the condition of its workplace. In addition, recent tests by the Denver and state health departments, as well as private firms, on ,._Hand A's well water has shown it to be well within the acceptable bacteria limits. "We never thought they had an unsafe product," Harvey Morlan, a senior sanitarian with the Con~umer Protection Division of the Colorado Department of Health, said Feb. 26. "And I have reassured a couple of their customers that we consider their ~H and A's) product to comply "with FDA bacterial standards and we consider it to be safe. "That's not to say they don't have a few things that need to be done out there." );;_

Despite the major cleanup and producing acceptable water H 路 and A still does not comply with federal law and stamp a production code on every bottle of water it sells. H and A which also produces bottled water under the Ev'r Clear and Royal Gorge labels, drew attention after The Metropolitan and Channel 4 news ran stories concerning the company's noncompliance with health department regulations.

Over a year ago the company was found in violation of municipal health codes in 10 different areas. A rather vigorous remodeling effort was exerted over the weekend of Feb. 13 - a few days after questions concerning the physical condition of the plant were directed at owner, .John Noblit, and three days before The Metropolitan and Channel 4 ran their stories. Those year-old violations have been corrected. "It was a coincidence it was

"It needed to be done, I admit it," Noblit continued. "I still maintain what we have done is mainly cosmetic." Noblit pointed out other improvements recently added to his plant at 4120 Globeville Rd. A custom-built distilling tank has been installed and the electrical system has also been upgraded (after, Noblit insisted, . waiting four months for Public Service to install a new more powedul transformer). Noblit also claimed the cosmetic work could not be done until new electric engines which run the boiler had been installed. He said old gas engines released soot and fumes and it was futile to paint and clean up because everything would only get filthy again. Morlan agreed with Noblit that a good portion of the work was done rather hurriedly. "I would say it's fair to say that continued on page 5

Proposed 1983 federal budget to cut Auraria aid by alinost half by Susan Forbes Financial aid cutbacks theaten the academic. futures of 3,193 MSC students. The proposed federal budget for the 1983 fiscal year represents a 52 percent cutback in funds from the 1979 level. "When applied to MSC, the national cutback percentage means 'that there will be a general decrease of funds for financial aid assistance from $2,284,041 in 1981 to $1,080,471 in 1983," David McDermott, MSC's controller for federal grands, said recently.

McDermott released the rather glum figures to a newly-formed MSC financial aid cutback committee ·Feb. 15. "Since educational costs are projected to increase from an average of $4,000 in 1979 to $5,600 in 1983, the cutbacks project a real disaster for students," McDermott said. The campus committee is comprised of MSC administrato~ and its student government president. Set_ up to evaluate the affects of the proposed cuts on MSC students, the committee will also decide on a plan of action which will make the state legislature aware of college's oppositiqn to the aid reduc-

tions. MSC:s financial aid director Lydia Vasquez said that 30 percent of the 10,646 students enrolled at MSC for six credit hours or . more receive federal assistance. According to Vasquez, 19 percent of aid recipients receive grants, work-study or National Direct Student Loans and 11 percent receive help through the Guaranteed Student Loan program. "I don't think students will realize the impact of the proposed budget cuts until they come applying for aid and there is no money," Vasquez said. McDermott's figures show that a typical MSC financi.a l aid student's aid will be reduced in 1982-83 by $2000. "If we don't make some noise about the cutbacks they may go through in full scale," committee chairman Antonio Esquibel said. Esquibel, the vice president of student affairs at MSC, said the committ~ has drafted a proposal for action and has already begun to mobilize. Letters are being sent to aid recipients and MSC alumni encouraging them to contact their congressmen. A joint statement and action agreement with UCO and CCD will be

developed. According to Esquibel the committ~ will also serve to educate the state legislative leadership on the financial assistance pri_o rity. David Conde, a committee member and an assistant vice president of Student Affairs, said the group will seek the support of Congress before May 15, 1982. That is when Congress will act on the final budget resolution for fiscal year 1982 and the first resolution for 1983. While the committee seeks support from Capitol Hill there are those who are willing to offer theirs. 1

Rep. Wayne Knox said he feels the cuts ". . . will significantly restrict the opportunities for many potential students to pursue a higher education." Congressman Tim Wirth's staff assistant, Larry Bulling, says Wirth views the cutbacks as "a · drastic step backwards in the long standing federal' commitment that has been demonstrated by both Democratic and · Republican administrations - the importance of insuring equal a~ to higher education."

Sal Ruibal, ·former editor of The ,Metropolitan, recently received the Col'orado Press Association "Best stqry of the -Year" award. The award was given to Ruibal, associate editor of the Rocky Mountain Business Journal, and reporter Anne Gordon in the division for Colorado's largest ~eekly newspapers at the annual convention Feb. 20. The story was a six-part investigation series which explored corruption in the Denver penny stock market. It focused on alleged violations of the federal securities law in the underwriting .--of stock in an Atlantic City-casino operation by Blinder-Robinson Inc., a Denver investment firm. Decision on the Blinder case is 12, 1982 7:00 pending in U.S. District Court in Denver. "It was a natural," Ruibal said.

··Stephenson says no to sex ed, yes to merger by Harvey Bishop

., I

Editor's Note: Rep. Bob Stephenson (R.- Colorado Springs) cause-celebre against "pornographic" public school tert books, has thrust the fundamentalist lawmaker into the limelight. Lesser known is his impact on the Auraria campus as head of the powerful House Education Committee. He may become one of Auraria's favorite legislators or he may be damned - or both. · The Metropolitan thought this would be an appropriate time to survey his, and other lawmaker's opinions on the merger of Auraria schools. Next week Harvey Bishop will report on Stephenson's behind the scenes influence over the proposed sale of the East Classroom. Some legislators say it's a dead issue. Others believe it deserves consideration. Either way, the concept of an Auraria campus merger still generates a lot of rhetoric in the state house. Long-time Colorado House Education Committee member Rep. Wayne Knox (D., Denver) brands talk of a merger as "old hat and a waste of time." He attributes current state house rumblings to a ~nority of freshman lawmakers who · haven't been through the mill on the issue. "The matter of merger should be considered resolved and resolved in the

negative," said Knox. "It's been gone through at great length, extensive consideration, soul searching and agony." Legislative proponents and opponents of merger all agree that the issue won't be considered this year. During the short session lawmakers may only consider items included on the Governor's Call, and the merger of Metro and UCO wasn't. It is also unlikely that such a politically volatile issue would willingly be grappeled with in an election year. House Education Committee chairman Rep. Bob Stephenson (R., Colorado Springs) recently sent up a merger trial balloon. "There won't be any bills on a merger this year," Stephenson said. "No action is threatened but we have to give it some thought. And now is the time to ask questions. It's more relaxed than if we were looking at a Qill. We need to say, 'Here's some problems, how about solutions without increasing taxpayer dollars.'" Stephenson's solution m~y be to get rid of what he considers duplication. "We're faced with two four-year institutions," he said. "There is considerable duplication - two deans of math, two deans of physics - that money could be better spent on the kid's education." On the problem of how to reconc~e

MSC's open door policy with UCO's limited enrollment should a merger take place, Stephenson echoed a familiar reply. "If there were a merger under UCO it would have to incorporate the open door policy, and yet high standards would have to be maintained," Stephenson said. "There would have to be some sort of minimum G.P.A. beyond which a person could not fall and stay enrolled." Stephenson looks at the merger situation in terms of dollars. "I've heard from people at both UCO and Metro who talk about the uniqueness of their particular program or learning environment," Stephenson said. "In the past we could afford uniqueness, but now we can't afford it.'' Stephenson thinks Auraria should be cost-effective. "Auraria is the second largest college campus in the state," he said. "If should be the most costeffective per student (which it is). If it wasn't, then I'd worry.'' Knox says of Stephenson, "What is this? The ghost of Hugh Fowler?" recalling the long-time state house merger proponent. "It (the merger) has been turned down by the General Assembly so many times," he added. Knox said he feels two or more higher education institutions that serve different functions in one city aren't unreasonable.

"Having been on the scene at ~ • origin of Metro and Auraria I know hoW important Metro's 'open door' policy is," he said. "There's no more reason to merge Denver's Auraria than other cities. You might as well include Pueblo and Colorado Springs. "If Bob Stephenson wants a merge! maybe he'd better look at his own backyard." Stephenson has gone on an educational rampage of late. Not only has he once again stirred up the spectre of merger, but he wants the legislature to go tell school boards what they CQ,I teach - even though the state constitu-: tion specifically forbids it. Stephenson plans to ask the legislature to withhold state education money from schools which use books he finds objectionable. . He objects to books that advocaMprinciples of secular humanis~, which is a doctrine which rejects the concept of a supreme being and suggests that ethical questions be answered in the context of situations rather than religious doctrine. . Another target is certain sex educatimt material. Rep. Bob Martinez (D., Commerce City) said he has some sympathy for Stephenson's views on a merger. Martinez is a CU administrator and a member of the House Education Committee. "It's worth taking a look," Martinez said of the merger concept. "That doesn't mean I'm for it or against it. It's only one option and I think it'll come up year after year." Martinez said if a merger did come it' should be under UCO. Knox says "there can be no absolute or perfect situation," adding the legislatures years of work on the issue had been rewarded with the "development of the MSC/UCO common course pool. Knox noted that he had registered for teacher certification update courses at Metro through CU last summer. Knox said his sense is that there are very few legislators close to Stephenson's point of view. .. "I doubt that there'd be very much support in the House Education Committee at this time," he said.

!1S a result of The Metropolitan's story - and our joint inspection with Denver that the management there (at H and A} did make a mammoth effort to get everything in shape in a big hurry," Morlan said. "They did more·work over those three days than you would have believed possible." - Former plant manager, Ray Caraveo, who was instrumental in bringing a,ttention to the problems, says the cleanup effort was substantial. Caraveo .said he feels the plant now meets the standards that it should have long ago. -., Caraveo disa~ that the cleanup couldn't be done earlier and said that the old gas engines not only made the plant filthy but also made the employees nauseous. Caraveo lost his job on March 1. Noblit said he needed a full time plant lilanager and Caraveo, an MSC student, could not work that kind of schedule. Noblit said bluntly that "Ray's looking for another job, let's put it that way. He's on vacation to try to find what he wants." , 'Caraveo says he was fired because of iiis involvement with the recent stories but Noblit never confronted him about it. (see sidebar} One of the customers concerned about H and A's operation was the King Soopers' grocery chain. As a precautionary measure King Soopers management ordered its stores to stop selling the bottled water after the conditions under which it was bcittled were questioned. According to King-Soopers' vice president, Bill Boggess, his company then relied on city and state health depart-.lnent tests to determine if King Soopers would continue to sell the H and A water. The tests have proven satisfactory and Boggess said, "King Soopers will continue to purchase H and A water as long as it meets the health code." (The Metropolitan conducted a survey Feb. 26 of eleven local King Soopers stores and the results support Boggess'

Caraveo said that was a little odd ' since in November the two had agreed that Caraveo could continue to work part time. Caraveo says he plans to stay in sChOOl and will probably seek a job in a laboratory since he already has a biology ~egree.

Though his whistleblowing actions evidently cost him his job Caraveo has no regrets and is rather philosophical about it. - "I should've done something about it before," Caraveo said. "It was · .frustrating to supposed to be in charge and yet not be able to do anything about it. Anyone who worked there knew why I did it and they agreed. "It put me out of a job but I feel good.

statements. Seven of the eleven outlets did discontinue selling the H and A water for a few days but have since resumed ~lling it. Two of the stores yanked the product and have yet to restock it and the other two stores declined comment.} While the water quality is fine and the plant operation has been significantly upgraded, the practice of some employees inflating water bottles with their mouths has been criticized. Other pointS of contention have been the sporadic use of an ozonator to purify the water lines and the lack of federallyrequired production codes on every bottle of water.

"I do not condone blowing bottles up by mouth,'' Noblit said. "I can't say none of my employees have not blown them up by mouth. We can't watch our employees all the time." Noblit also admitted that the company's ozonator had been broken down on a continual basis. The ozonator, while not required, is recommended by the American Bottled Water Association. The ozonator produces a 'heavy oxygen' which purifies the water lines. H and A recently purchased a new ozonator and now uses it on a constant basis. According to federal law each bottle of water should have a production code

stamped on it identifying the production run and also the day it was bottled. This enables a product to be traced if a problem arises. Noblit insists that the rules are vague. He says that the produ9tfon code only has to go on a unit of the product. An H and A µnit is a case of six bottles, Noblit said. He claims this meets the production code requirement. Morlan, from the state health depart· ment, disagrees. "They are supposed to do that (put a production code on all the· bottles),'" Morlan said, adding that "they are going to be doing it, but you are right, they haven't done it in the past."

OszlEd Student Body Presidential Report

Pennies from heaven. Apparently, that's all students receiving financial aid (which includes Pell Grants, SEOG, CWS, NDSL, · and SSIG) can expect in the C9ming fiscal year 1983. According to the latest Reagan request, the amount of federal monies to be used for the above-mentioned financial aid sources will be cut nearly fifty percent which means that half of the students formerly receiving financial aid will not get that aid, or that every student who has formerly received financial aid will now be able to expect half the award he had been getting. The unemployment rate in America is rising.alarmingly. Fewer and fewer people are able ·to find employment that is flexible enough in scheduling to allow a person to go to school while working. The only alternative to riot going to school at all is to do so with government assistance. Therein lies the responsibility of the government - to provide opportunity for advancement and self-improvement, rather than simple maintenance at a subsistence level, to all constituents. Education has often been called the only true escape from the vicious circle of ignorance and poverty. Supreme Qourt Chief Justice Frankfurter, while on the bench, wrote many decisions based on the belief in governmentally-supported public education. He was a product of such an educational opportunity, and he saw the value and importance of it. Most people in such positions of decision-making and policy establishment don't have an appreciation for the true necessity for these opportunities. It is up to those of us who rely ·on these support systems to educate them. It isn't just a matter of responsibility; it is a matter of survival. · MSC has formed a task force on the issue of financial aid. The college administratiqn is already concerned

with the problem of student retention, and any cuts in financial aid will h~ve an aggravating influence. The institution, however, can only do so much. It is what the students do, collectively, which will make a difference. Students must take the task at hand with enthusiasm and tenacity. We, as students, must make ourselves heard by our national legislators. We must show them the need to increase the amount of financial aid supplied to students, before the situation starts spiraling out of control. An educated America is a healthier America; that is my personal conviction. The responsibility of the government to make the opportunity for such education available to everyone is in the interest of the government, as our representatives, and it is up to us to make that clear to them. , Here's a list of our legislators. Write each one of them, or call, and explain to them your concern with the dangerous shift in priorities that is being manifested by the current administration. The ball's in our court, and if we don't act now, we will be the losers. U.S. Senate U.S. Sen.

the United States which may reduce inflation. What aboµt offices of the future? A computer will answer your phones, becoming the reoeptionist or switchboard operator. There shall be more correspondence by computer to computer. Video display terminals (VDTs) will link offices to various departments; no _longer will individual secretaries be necessary. Instead word processing pools will exist. When you need a letter typed, press a few keys and the link will be produced. The letter will be processed, then sent by electronic mail wherever desired. Need inventory information or accounting data, complete the link to the desired pool.

By 1990 checks will become an extinct facet of life. If you don't feel like going in on a given day, ok, use your home computer for direct communication with the office. Perhaps a more startling change in the near future will be computer technology in banking. Malcolm Jones, vice president with the First National Bank of Denver, acknowledges, "In all likelihood, much of the banking industry will be an online environment by 1987." What this means is retailers and banks will be in constant contact; the store will have a terminal. Consumers in the future will have two types 9£ cards to shop with: • charge cards • debit card - money deducted from personal accounts Having made a purchase, retailers will insert the customer's card into the scanner of their terminal, which will be both optical and magnetic type system. The number of the customer's bank and account will instantly go to the main switch which then routes the infor-

mation to the correct banking computer. Bank computers will also check the signature. The purchase amount will immediately be d~ucted from the customer's account then added to the store's. Should there be insufficient funds, the retailer will instantly be notified, thus cancelling any sale. This system is pperating now in Coral Gables, Florida. The difference being they shop from their homes. By 1990 checks will become an extinct facet of life. Perhaps, in the final analysis this will benefit consumers, decreasing the cost of products, eliminating fraud or bad checks, also theft. Jones also suggested, "Many people prefer to deal with computers since it provides the necessary service, Without the worries sometimes involved with inter-personal exchanges." Jones then explained, "This will provide convenience for the customer, and make for a more competitive market in the 80's allowing for de-regulation." The futuristic Digital Society is slowly 'creeping into our lives. Its conceivable our existence will be catagorized by three systems of digital numbers. • Social Security

• essentially a computer is nothing more than an extension or amplifier of the mind. Today computer sales have reached $100 billion annually in the United States. By 1985 the prediction is sales will reach $200 billion annually, becoming the largest market in the U.S. The power of the almighty dollar is almost impossible to fight so the choices it seems will be few; accept it or be excluded.

Racism In hlsher education to be discussed March 4 "Racism in Higher Education" will be the subject of a forum to be held on Thur., March 4 from 5-7 p.m. in room 254/256 of the Student Center. The case of former UCD student, Roy Foreman, will also be discussed. Foreman is currently serving a life sentence in prison for a crime another man has confessed to and exonerated Foreman of. Participating in the forum will be UCO political science professor Lawrence Mosqueda and DU political science professor Dennis Judd. Mosqueda and Judd are suing DU for allegedly discriminating against Mosqueda.

The futuristic Digital Society is slowly creeping into our lives. • Banking number • Business number or code Any relevant information of our lives will be stored in central computers. This brings up the question of privacy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in computers - whether business or home - is just around the corner. The mountain of obstacles blocking this development has become only a hill. One can view these changes in three perspectives: • it's a serious threat to the lives we've known • or a bunch of "futuristic hogwash"

feqture Dark 'playground' yields sexploit by John Barry

The large, heavy, black wooden alley door leading to the homosexual movie theatre was painted with white letters reading "The Mineshaft."

near by. Patrons can also be "hidden" by the privacy fence in the entrance hall as the 15 foot tall stuffed dogs stands as mute witness. Vice officers noted that sadomasochistic sex - so called "rough trade" - is prevalent. I watched as one of the police officers disappeared into the "cubby holes" at the rear of the auditorium. "He's going back there to get groped," whispered his partner. "You watch, sonof-a-bitch, every time he goes in there he gets groped." . "You wanna' see something gross?" he asked, looking at the TV screen. "Take a look at that." The dim TV screen was a mass of tight jeans and leather jackets. The police officer returned from the darkness of the pannel "cubby hole" facade with a man in handcuffs. "Son of a bitch," his partner said. "I told you - every time." "You go out real quie~," the police officer ordered as he tightly held the man in handcuffs. "Real quiet. Don't make .a fuss." As the handcuffed man was led into

South Broadway gay theatre, "Enter at your own risk."

Once inside, the plain clothes police officer flashed his badge to the man seated in the dark shadows of a glass ticket booth. "Vice," the officer said, "routine check." There was a second door. On it were the words, "Men Enter At Your Own Risk. You Might Be Mined." Gently -sloping steps led into a dark partitioned walkway in the immense auditorium. . "Stick real close," a police officer told

full auditorium. Though the room was pitch black, silhouettes were visible in the glow of a large screen proj~tion TV. The Mineshaft Theatre, 111 S. Broadway, conveys a sense of "other worldness" like an unholy Disneyland. Members of the Denver Police Vice and Narcotics Bureau indicate that in addition to the X-rated movie fare, homosexual patrons engage in sex on the premises. "Private" wood pannel "cubby holes" are available at the rear of the auditorium. A separate TV screen stands

the relatively well-lit foyer the faces of the men in the ticket booth and the potential patrons showed fear, hate, and bewilderment. In the alley parking lot the vice officers searched the man, pulling something from his pocket. "What's that? officer Smith asked. "Probably 'jack.off oil,' " his partner answered. The handcuffed man was ordered into the back seat of the unmarked car and driven around the block. "Are you married?" Smith asked the man, as he leaned over the front seat holding his clip board. The man whimpered and hung his head. From the glow of the. street light I could see that he was in his late 20s or early 30s, had a light beard, and wore a rough cut sweat shirt that didn't fit his frail looks. "You're married," Smith said wearily. The man shook his head with a quick spastic motion. "You mean that if we call this number" Smith said evenly, "there won't be a Mrs. Doe who will answer?"

."'

"No," the man said, slowly shaking his head. · "Where do you work John?" asked Smith. "Martin's Plumbing Supplies," the man said. "A friendly word of advice," Smith said. "Don't you ever resist arrest like you were going to. No matter what you think might happen . . . don't do it because you can never win." "I wasn't," the man said, his mouth as dry as sandpaper. "I didn't know you ~ were police." "What?" Smith's partner said shortly. "You think somebody's gonna' say they're police just to mess with you?" Smith was writing out a ticket for public indecency on his clip board by the light of a flashlight. "I could take you to jail," he told the handcuffed man, "or I could just have you report to court. That depends on you." Smith told the man that a member of the gay community had been murdered last year. He had · driven a sports car 'with personalized license plates that read "GR A I N." "He made a pick up," Smith said, "and had his head spUt open with a machete. The killer is still loose." "Was this at Brooks' Towers?" the man asked hesitantly. "Yeah," Smith said. "The license plate read 'G R A I N.' Do you know anything?" "I have some friends who knew him," the man said. "They said he was into • kinky sex." "What's kinky sex?" Smith asked. "I don't know," the man said. "They just said kinky." · "Is that 'S and M?' " Smith asked. "'S and M,'" responded the man. "I don't know. I suppose so since he liked to be tied up." "These charges against you could also be dropped," Smith said. "I can do that for information. I want to see this killer caught. Whether it's a way of life I agree with or not isn't important. Straight or gay, we both want this psycho off the streets." • "Make some discreet inquiries," said Smith. "The right information could help."

" This South Broadway intersection is home turf for sex merchants, gays, straights and the vice squad.

"I'll ask around discreetly," the man said. "Look," Smith said. "The sooner the - ~ guy is caught the better. It's dark in · there. You don't know who you've got. Tonight it was me. Tomorrow night you could come down and it might be the killer. It could be your murder we'd be investigating." Smith opened the back door, took off the man's cuffs, and watched as he scurried into the night. "That's a pretty 'hinky' guy," Smith said as he started the car. "Hinky" was his personal code word when something ~>didn't smell right. "He groped me," Smith added. "I walked away. He could have been lucky but damn if he didn't come back and grope me again." This was but one encounter between _ the Denver Police · Department and a member of the metro-area gay community - encounters that are frequently and understandably characterized by mistrust. Royden Marsh of the Auraria Campus Gay-Lesbian Resource Center alleges 'I. that "policemen waste time and energy on innocent gays." "Straights meet people in movie theatres all the time," he said. "That this incident had a little more sexual connotation doesn't mean anything to me." ""'· Carol Lease, director of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Colorado, Inc., 1436 Lafayette St., noted that homosexual establishments such as the Mineshaft ar~ "looked down upon by the majority ofthe·gay community.'' • ·

....

Center said that gays who "cruise" seeking fleeting sexual contacts are "safer in bars and bathhouses" than pornographic theatres. "Anyone can come in a theatre," he noted. "It's a risk. Bathhouse clubs have private memberships - not ewensive - maybe $10 or perhaps free but they check out who they let in. Also being a

" 'Closeted' gay ·men end up getting picked up in these damn places," she said angrily, "and sometimes they end up dead." Lease said "societal pressures" often keep homosexuals from coming to the .Community Center and "establishing a worthwhile relationship." She noted that "less than ideal" relations between the police and homosexuals "can hamper" murder investigations such as the Brooks' Towers case if only because of "poor communication." "I read about the Brooks' Towers murder in the paper," Lease said. "It didn't say so but something went off in the back of my head and I knew that it was a gay related killing." A male homosexual at the Community

private club it isn't as prone to raids." Lease said she doesn't think homosexual pornographic theatres are singled out by the police. "The gay theatres have about the same harassment level as straight porn houses," she said. The Community Center maintains a "Data-Bank" detailing alleged incidents of harassment of homosexuals by businesses, individuals and government agencies - including the police. The mistrust between homosexuals and the police also means that crimes against homosexuals may go unreported. Lease noted that there has been an increase in male homosexuals being "raped by other gay men." She said that recently a male homosexual "was dragged into the back of a car and repeatedly raped by 'straight bashers' (toughs who prey on homosexuals)." "He exhibited all the classic rape victim symptoms," Lease said. "Just as a woman would. At first he refused to call the police. I finally convinced him to do it. Whoever picked up the phone just laughed and said 'You've got to be kidding.'" As we talked, Lease received a phone call from a distraught male homosexual. She said that his house had recently been broken into "and because he was gay the guilty parties weren't prosecuted to the . .. full extent of the law." That day there had been evidence of further criminal harassment and the man was afraid to go back into his house. He had sequestered himself in an East De~wer sign and paint store. His first phone call was to Lease and the Gay and Lesbian Community Center not the police. Next week: Harrassment on the street.

People don't go there much unless they have a real good reason. Or an excuse. I was born there. That's my excuse. Twenty miles east of Hickman is the town of Fulton. Both towns are in Fulton county. It would ·seem logical that the county seat of Fulton county would be Fulton. Wrong. It's Hickman. Adjacent to Fulton county, on the northeast, is Hickman county. It would seem logical that the county seat of Hickman county would be Hickman. Wrong. Hickman is more than 30 miles away from the closest portion of its namesake county. Instead, the county . seat of Hickman county is Clinton. We could take this a lot further by asking what the county seat of Clinton ·c ounty is. But since Clinton county is halfway across the state, it somehow doesn't seem to be as interesting. The closest metropolis to Hickman/Fulton/Clinton is Paducah. You know what a metropolis is, don't you? It's any town that shows up yellow on a road map instead of being a circle or a square with a dot in it. If you look al a map of Kentucky, Paducah does stand out. Not because it's a metropolis, but because it's across the river from it - Metropolis, Ill., that is. If you live there you can sport a bumper sticker that says "Metropolis, Ill. Home of Superman." That's for real. I saw one on a car parked next to a telephone booth on Emerson Street. The most interesting thing about that portion of a Kentucky map is about 15 miles west of Paducah. It's the town of Monkey's Eyebrow. Now the real fun begins. If you find yourself really bored, look at town names for a chuckle or two. In Kentucky, Monkey's Eyebrow is just the beginning. There's Gravel Switch and Marrowbone, Fancy Farm and Kettle.

Central America group forms, showing film by Bob Sekula

The Aurarian Conirillttee on Central America is seeking new members and will present the film "Revolution or Death" twice this week. The committee grew out of the UCD course. Cuba, El Salvador and Nicaragua, taught last fall by Joel Edelstein~ professor>of political science. According to Ken Nakamura, a founding member, the group was formed to "keep students aware of the dangerous, escalating situatiop" in these countries. "Revolution or Death" which will be

shown free in EC 22, Wed., March 3 at noon and Thur., March 4 at 5:15 p.m., is a dramatic statement of the suffering, injustice and popular sentiment for change in El Salvador. The film was independently produced through the World Council of Churches. Its footage includes civilians being shot from roof- / tops, mutilated bodies being drug from ditches, and numerous peasants describing their fate at the hands of the ruling junta and the military. "It shows problems that aren't going to just go away," Nakamura says. "This struggle is enizraved in the hearts of the

Salvadoreans and our government won't be forgotten for their support of the oppressive forces down there."

"We need people from all three colleges with any time, effort or money they can give," Nakamura says.

Another committee member, Ken Cole, says "We need to counter what the Reagan Administration puts out - that all these movements in Central America are just Communist extremists dependent on the Soviet Union and Cuba." · "There is no evidence of this," he says. "The Communists in Central America are a very small faction. All the rebellion down there comes from a very wide-ranging popular base."

MSC nine opens season at Mesa by R.P. Bellizzi

High hopes travelled with the MSC baseball team to Grand Junction last weekend for four games against the Mesa College Mavericks.

After Saturday's double-header 8-1 and 18-5 lo~es during which MSC managed only seven hits and its pitchers threw for 20 walks - 14 of which came around to score - those hopes could easily have gone up in smoke. Having faced what coach Bill Helman called, "perhaps the best two pitchers ..,. we'll face all year," MSC showed up for the Sunday twinbill determined to improve its performance. · In the first game Sunday, eight Mesa hits and numerous walks and errors gave Mesa its third win of the series, 11-2. It was in the nightcap that MSC pitchers finally started to find the plate well enough to keep the Mavericks from scoring in their accustomed bunches. Right-hander Jeff Opitz scattered seven hits through five-plus innings to / ·get the win, and Mike Tacketl: came on in the sixth to get MSC out of a jam by allowing Mesa only one run.

SpoilTs NOTES ' MSC sophomore miler, Charles Blueback, earned All-America status last weekend in NAIA national competition in Kansas City when he placed fifth with . a time of 4: 17. The distance medley team of Dave Griffin, Bruce Jenkins, Kevin Brown and Blueback took seventh place in a field of 18 with a time of 10:20. The MSC Basketball Club will meet in the HPER building March 3 and 5 from 4-6 p.m.
