You've seen the ads on TV. An American tourist. is ·s tranded in a hostile foreign country-broke. His travelers' checks plundered, his wallet is gone, and a host of angry restauranteurs, hotel concierges, an~ airline ticket agents swarm around him, demanding payment. Panic sets in, for certainly there are few experiences as fear-inspiring as that of being overse~ with no cash and no way to get any. When- a foreign student at one of the three Auraria Campus colleges runs out of money, there may not be any American Express or Travelers' Aid to who,m he can turn. And the student almost certainly will find no economic relief on campus. Because of a combination of federal regulations and credit factors, no system exists at Auraria to extend financial assistance to needy international students. In fact, if there is any lik~lihood that a student may run out of cash while attending college in the United States; that student shouldn't be here. According to Skip Crnwnhart, coordinator of international student services for MSC, no person will be admitted to study in the United States unless the student can demonstrate the ability to pay his tuition and support himself while in this country. Financial solvency is a requirement for an F-1 visa, the type of visa which the U.S. State Department extends to foreign students, Crownhart said. About one-half of the foreign students at Auraria meet their expenses out of their own or their families' pockets. The others are supported by' grants from their home governments. Crownhart said that most African and European students pay their own way, while students from almost all the countries of the Middle1East as well as those from Mexico an~ Venezuela · are studying through a : government subsidy from their home ~ountry. Crownhap: said that federal laws prohibit foreign students from receiving any kind of financial aid out of U.S. government funds. This includes BEOG (Pell Grants), Guaranteed Student Loans, National Direct Student Loans, and work-study. An exception can be made in the case of work-study grants, said Crownhart, if the international student marries an American citizen or obtains a work permit from the Immigration -and Naturalization Service. Those exceptions are rare. Despite these prohibitions, strapped students frequently approach the Auraria financial aid offices and the International Student Services center to appeal for emergency cash. "It pepends on the politics of the world at the time," Crownhart said. "Recently, things have been bad in Lebanon, so we have had some Lebanese students ask us for money. The Mexican economy is bad now, too, so many Mexican students have asked for help." Crownhart emphasized that wars or economic hardship in a student's native country can disrupt the cash-flow from home.

A service which is available to American students who need money in an emergency situation is the Student Support Office, which can lend up to $60.00 as a short-term loan to students with a pressing hardship. According to Student Support Program Administrator Ricky Archuleta, this service is designed to help students who have immediate expenses such as textbook purchases or minor car repairs, and who can show

that they expect to have enough cash to repay the loan in a short period of time. Student Support loans are financed through student activity fees, so they are not subjec_t to the same restrictions as federal financial aid money. However, Archuleta said, students generally must show that they have a job or receive financial aid in order to qualify for a short-term loan from Student Support. Since international students cannot

receive financial aid under U.S. laws and usually cannot receive work permits from the federal government, they are essentially not eligible for Student Support loans when they are broke. Although Student Support's policy regarding international students is definitely more flexible than that of the Office of Financial Aid, it still seems that any foreign student at the Auraria Campus who runs out of money faces a grim "Catch-22."

_ MSC alumnus runs for State Rep. I

by Randy Golkin MSC graduate Bob Bowen says crime will be his biggest concern if elected as State Representative of District 4, because besides understanding the problem, he knows the feeling of being a victim. Just recently, Bowen has had a porch full of fish heads, broken car windows and slashed tires, by those who . don't want this Democrat to run for office. Although Bowen regrets the harassment and vandalism, he was glad Denver's two daily newspapers did stories on it because of the publicity and "name recognition" he received. "In this neighborhood (District 4 runs from Federal to Sheridan Boulevards and from 6th to 52nd Streets), the number one issue is crime," Bowen said. As a deterrent to the problem, Bowen proposes lowering the age of prosecution from 18 to 16, denying bail to sex and repeat offenders, and having criminals pay restitution to victims. "We spend millions of dollars in the process of prosecuting criminals," Bowen said. "We don't spend anything on the victims." As the Vice-President of the MSC Alumni, Bowen who graduated in 1971, also has strong feelings about education ..

"Education on all levels, is one of my biggest priorities," he said. "The state legislature is extremely important to students," explained Bowen. "The amount of tuition is · directly related to state dollars." "After the primary, I am going to send our ~uestionnaires to all the candidates on issues like the merger (between MSC and UCD)," Bowen continued. "To let students know who supports Metro. Students must be politically aware if they' re going to survive the merger." Bowen would like to see more money put back into financial aid, and he also believes the method of funding schools in higher education needs to be modified. The state determines the amount of funds each school is to receive, by adding up the Full Time Equivalent credit hours paid for at the institution-regardless of the number of students. "Schools that have students living in dorms, benefit the most from FfE," explained Bowen. "But there ought to be some other factor besides FTE for parttime students." At institutions like MSC, where the number of part time students who all need individual help and use services, must be accommodated, even though

the school only receives enough money for one (full time) student. In secondary education, Bowen believes there should be "equal education opportunities for everyone and equal funding of the school districts." Bowen feels property taxes that pay for public schools favor the rich districts. He proposes to eliminate property tax and to increase severance and state income tax to fund public schools. The Colorado Education Association and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association both endorse Bowen on this proposal. Other issues that concern Bowen are housing, pollution and the conservation of Denver' s parks and playgrounds-especially Sloan's Lake, which is dying. He would like to see the state lower interest rates on home loans so more peo-

pie can have their "American Dream." This, he feels, will improve neighborhoods, because homeowners are more concerned about the appearance of their property and their immediate surroundings than renters. This, Bowen contends, will cut down on crime because a well kept house with nosey neighbors on both sides is less likely to be burglarized. Bowen, who first became active in politics at MSC in 1966, is running against Mark Mandler and C. DeBaca in the Democratic primary for State Representative of District 4. Vy Swenson is the Republican candidate, but the district has always been Democratic. The primary election is September 14, and if Bowen wips that, he feels his chances of winning the main election on November 7 will be very good.

Is Denver BoOming? MSC Class explains Will metropolitan Denver be another rags-to-riches-to-rags hard luck story, or will we strike paydirt by planning our future as a thriving community? Denver: Boomtown USA is a weekly lecture series beginning September 9 which will address challenges to a "booming city," and seek solutions to some of the problems which accompany the kind of rapid growth our area has experienced. Noted authorities from business, government, education and community agencies will address issues of growth, planning, jobs, housing, transportation, , utilization of urban space, industrial development, commercial development, social and municipal service delivery system. According to Dr. Robert C . Wright, Chairperson of Metropolitan State College's Department of Urban Studies, "Denver attracts a lot of people because of its geographical attractiveness. Yet

we are experiencing, at the same time, a slowing down in oil-industry related jobs. What we need to do now is to gather all our human resources-and we have a wealth of expertise right here in Denver-so that we can plan for a builtin quality of life component." Reservations are required and academic credit is available through the MSC Department of Urban Studies. Sponsors of Denver: Boomtown USA are Metropolitan State College, the City and County of Denver, Downtown Denver, Inc., and Mountain Bell. All lectures are free and open to the public, based on available space. All sessions will be held at the Mountain Bell Auditorium, 1005 Seventeenth Street, on Thursday, 6 to 9 pm, beginning September 9. The second segment of the Series begins November 11. For information about academic credit, tuition and series dates and subjects, please call 629-3376.

Jllln, confusion and an&!! -~-

Students ·grow weary while waiting for aid (CPS)-College officials and students predicted grevious shortages of financial aid this fall. What they've gotten instead are less severe shortages, but even more grevious quantities of delays, confusion and anger over financial aid, a cheek of campuses across the country reveals. The result is that, even as classes open, many students still don't know if they'll be able tb afford to go to college this fall. "I really don't know what to do," says Doug Haas, a second-year student at the Community College of Denver. Now two weeks into his fall semester, Haas is still waiting to find out if he's eligible for grant money and for getting his work-study position back. "I guess I'll have to fall back on my dad if everything else fails," Haas says. "Either that or I'll have to drop out." Northwestern University grad studt;lnt James Finney "applied for a loan over a month ago and (I) haven't heard anything. As a matter of fact, I'm still waiting for an appointment just to see how much longer I'll have to wait." Finney consequently· doesn't know how to mold his class schedule because he doesn't know how many part-time jobs he'll have to get to muster Northwestern's $2,600-a-quarter tuition. Moreover, " it means not going to school

at all next quarter if it (aid) doesn't come through." "For this fall's financial aid applicants, there's one word that's first and foremost in their vocabularies: confusion," summarizes Bob Aaron of the American Council on Education in Washiµgton, D.C. Aaron and administrators at many campuses say students are confused about the amount of federal aid that's

available. If they know there's aid available, they're confused becuase they can't get any from their campus aid offices, which are still waiting for the U.S. Department of Education to send them pa~rwork that normally reaches campuses in April. "The good news is that financial aid programs haven't been cut as severely as the Reagan administration planned," deadpans Dennis Martin, assistant

director of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Advisors. "The bad news is, in-terms of the application, administration and delivery pro<iesses, this has been the most confusing summer ever." During the summer, Congress finally allocated $1.3 billion in emergency funds to federal aid programs, bringing the total to $3 billion, a four percent decrease from last year's levels. Specifically, Pell Grant funding was halved. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) funding is down by 25 percent, State Student Incentive Grant and College Work-Study funding by four percent each and college Social Security by 45 percent. Fewer students, moreover, are eligible for Guaranteed Student Loans (GSLs) . To make matters worse, Washington has delayed telling individual colleges just how much money they'll have to allocate to their students under the slashed programs. Until they do, administrators say they have no useful advice to offer. At Southern Methodist University, aid director Margaret Gregory has students " put in their applications, close their eyes, and hope for the best."

Go-Go's get goofy on 'Vacation'

by L.N. Beer I Vacation. The Go-Gos. IRS SP 70031. Vacationl It's a time for rest and relation, for reckless and carefree enjoyment, for FUN. And Vacation, the new second album from the Go-Gos, is exactly that-a melodic but sµperficial summer outing dedicated to the proposition: Let's Partyl This five-woman oand's debut, Beauty and the Beat, won acelaim as one of the outstanding records of 1981. Consequently, Vacation was destined to be the victim of Great Expectations hype. The second album by a popular artist is almost always less exciting than the first. In most cases, this is due to the maxim that "a band has 25 years to write theii first album, but only six months to write the next one." Since the Go-Gos were still practically novice musicians when they recorded Beauty · and the Beat, this statement might not apply to them. More to the point, it just sounds like they didn't try as hard this time. Great Expectations or not, it's apparent that less thought has gone into the songs of Vacation, and less craftsmanship into their production. Vacation really isn't a bad record. It's

simply so vapid that it's hard to find . anything at all to say about it. To avoid sounding unduly hypercritical, I have to- say that there are a few musically remarkable moments on this album. The title track is the only song here with a memorable hook, but it's a hook with a barb-I've been humming it since the first time I.beard it on the radio a month ago. "Get Up and Go," which opens side two, is the other obvious pick for a hit single. This song gets kicked along by a Bo Diddley/Buddy Holly restless-native

drumbeat that shouts, "dance or elsel" Its lyrics are impatiently inspirational, if a trifle hackneyed. This is real motiva- · tion music to fight radio doldrum stagnation. "This Old Feeling" is sock-hop revivalism with a refreshing Eighties twist. This is the old feeling of Temptations-era "blonde-in-the-blue-Tbird" girlie doo-wop. Studio saxman Steve Berlin builds the foundation for the whole song with his tough bass line, and his stuttering, staccato solo-reminding the listener of Sonny Rollins' work on the Rolling Stones rave-up "Neighbours" -displays so much maniac intensity that it sounds like Lizzie Borden with a horn instead of an axe. Among the performances by individual Go-Gos, the ·only exceptional one is from the drummer, Gina Schock, whose basic rhythmic precision is unflappable throughout the LP and who carries the band through some utterly limp moments. Indeed, she sounds like the only Go-Go who wasn't actually on vacation while ·Vacation was being recorded. The most consistent flaw on this album is Belinda Carlisle, the lead singer. Her what-the-hell voice is nothing but a protracted yawn from a jaded California girl with no respect whatsoever for the songs she sings. She sounds as bored as I felt when I was finished listening to her. Sure isn't a girl fd want to have along on my vacation. And a final note-"Cool Jerk" is really awful. Don't even listen to it. When you overlook a few rather major shortcomings, Vacation is like a drink of cream soda-sweet, bland pop in a disposable can.

diplomat-he's a peacemaker co~o. . table in a world of Learjets and conference tables, not a mercenary with an M-1 carbine over his shoulder and his boots full of African mud. The pathetic cuckold brought to life in "The Hula Hula Boys" is a Hawaiian tourist whose woman has gone native in a big way,-.but "Let Nothing Come Between You" is the cheeriest, most optimistic tribute to the power of love that I've heard in years, certainly more hopeful than any lonely dilettante of the L. A. "Mellow Mafia" school of wimp-rock has ever pretended to be. What has become of Zevon's carefully cultivated reputation as a hard-boiled mystery, man straight from the pages of a Ross MacDonald detective story? Is he losing his touch? Losing his gnp? N~ way. To the contrary, Zevon has managed to expand his world-view from the fantastic to the universal, yet has sacrificed none of the visceral power of P.is music or his hold over his audience's imagination. Zevon has claimed that the stylistic; changes that mark The Envoy stem from equally dramatic changes in his personal life: a well-publicized battle with the bottle (which he finally won only after repeated hospitalization), and a blissful new marriage. The same changes which mellowoo Zevon's outloolc as a songwriter have made him a much stronger performer. His singing on this album is his best ever. Zevon delivers the title song with all the authority of an oration to the United Nations, romps through "The Over~ draft" (an eager paean to interstate travel for immoral purposes, co-written with novelist Thomas McGuane), and leaves one with grave doubts about his sanity as he churns through the headbanging, "Ain't That Pretty At All." Waddy Wachtel, who is arguably ti. best guitarist on the West Coast, really dominates this record. It often seems like Zevon composes songs designed to showcase Waddy's particular. talents. Fans of the macabre will enjoy "Jesus Mentioned," a placid acoustic ballad about digging up Elvis Presley. The Envoy hits its low point with the last two songs on the album. It's almost as if Warren and the band have exhausted so much energy to get to this point that they run out of gas, coasting out the downhiU stretch behind the dy:. ing momentum of a strenuous performance. "Looking For The Next Best Thing" is a timid melody quivering behind an equivocal lyric, and it's completely out of place on this otherwjse pasionate recording. The last track is worse-"Never Too Late For Love" B the kind of trite, flaccid tripebucket that epitomizes the worst of Jackson Browne, but I don't think even Jackson would dare release anything this blatant. It's a weak ending, but an otherwise exceptional album- Warren Zevoo'l best yet. Having stood in the fire~ he ha~ emerged unburned· and stronger thad ever. · " :

The Envoy. Warren Zevon. Asylum 60159-·1. The Excitable Boy had done it again. With The Envoy, Warren Zevon's fifth album for Asylum Records, this West Coast howler re-establishes his ri~teous place in the pantheon of Rock and Roll Weirdos. Once again, Zevon has delivered an album of vignettes which blend offhandedly-jangling lyric psychotension with bone-twisting, urgent rock delivery. The Envoy impacts like a wisdom tooth. It's a great record. Songs on Zevon's earlier albums are popular as havens for werewolves, junkies, sociopaths, and "international lowlifes" (as the singer recently styled himseif). In "Lawyers, Guns and Money," for example, we met a toughtalking hustler over his head. in Caribbean intrigue; "Play It All Night Long" introduced listeners to the antics of a depraved, inbred Southern family; the youthful hero ot"Excitable Boy" rapes a~d returns (and later exhumes) his ~ junior-prom date. The characters 'in The Envoy's songs are no less. enthralling ..,b ut infinitely .more human and believable. The Envoy himself is a Kissingeroid shuttle . . ,. .... •' . ·' "'rL • 1 ..... .. . . . . . ••

Brazilian film examines the questions in 'love' I'~

by Kathleen L.

Humphreys~

"I Love You" is an erotic film about sex that explores the issue of intimacy and the search for meaning, but it is tempered with humor. Sex is not divided .from love. The viewer, rather than being a voyeur, is immersed in the erotica. This move shocks the viewer into awareness-it's a good film. This film is tastefully executed. Ample nudity laced with humor keeps it from repeating a cliche. The photography benefits from the light effects and artistic lines soften the explicit sex. English subtitles do not noticeably detract. The acting concentrates on the process rather than the plot. Sonia Braga radiates sensuality as Maria. She does not seem to act but to experience. Paulo Cesar Pereio, playing Paulo, exposes a part of every person-the fear of being nothing. His exaggerated despair lends credibility to this emotion. The absence of a plot, highlights problem resolution. > The Brazilian movie, directed by Arnaldo Jabor, begins with Paulo. the main character, losin_g his beautiful blond girlfriend Barbara as well as his livelihood-a bra factory. Paulo views

Zevon continued from previous page

It's good to know he's a survivor. Fleetwood Mac. Warner Brothers 23607-1. Okay, sports fans, here's some aural Perrier which will also go over real well with the quiche crowd. Fleetwood Mac's new one is utterly inoffensive, humpiable, pleasant, and immaculately produced and recorded. It is definitely NOT rock and roll, but if you're a Fleetwood Mac enthusiast, you don't care about that anyway. Mirage lacks both the flawless pop craftsmanship of Rumours and the musical adventurism of Tusk. Christine McVie has been listening to too much John Philip Sousa or something, since her contributions to this album are undeniably martial in character. Lindsey Buckingham should concentrate on }>laying guitar and keep his mouth shut, u the poor guy sounds like he's gasping for every breath when he sings. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, drummer and bass player, founding fathers and musical constants, are !~rage.

the parting scene with Barbara on television monitors, where he records every important experience. Paulo begins as 路a victim setting himself up. He wants Barbara to leave and his factory to fail so he can wallow in his familiar state of bein~. Paulo claims he wants what is real, but to cover up his sadness, he finds a whore named Maria. Maria arrives at his apartment in a silver lame gown, but she is not what she pretends to be. Acting out her .resentment against men, Maria claims her life is a lie, a dream inspired by others. She is at the end of a relationship with a married pilot, Tarcisio Meira, called Ulysees, meaning the wanderer. Paulo and Maria reminisce about lost loves. Paulo explains that Barbara, a doctor in the local morgue, could only make love when discussing her father's death. She was 12 or 13-maybe it's the last time she felt anything. It reminds one of a legendary love affair. ' Maria and Paulo's period of confession escalates to abandoned passion, but what expectations can a client have of a prostitute and vice-versa? Fears are expressed as they explore their relationship. Paulo defines love as

. meat, as genitalia. In contrast, Maria seeks intimacy; and at one point she uses a knife to humiliate ~nd dominate. Partners must not try to turn each other into copies of themselves. Paulo and Maria define their own boundaries through running the gamut-lovers' passion, disillusionment, conflict recon. ciliation, and finally the struggle between men and women. The issue of power in relationships is a basic theme. This is one of the most nagging issues in Brazil today. It is difficult to r_naintain love and sex if the power link is not settled. The feminine dilemma is illuminated by Maria pleading with the pilot to stay home; to stay or not is still the question. Dichotomy of self is another story thread. Paulo relied on video machines and was surrounded by mirrors and a male manikin. He eventually shoots both, attempting to merge his two selves. Reflection is a well-utilized tool in this film. The concluding thesis is a cosmic belly laugh at the vulnerability and fragility of the human condition. The neediness of humans is not fulfilled because of their defenses-starved for intimacy and

yet afraid of it. Dialogue is serious, yet periodically broken with humor of making fun of the seriousness of life. The movie sustains melodramatic and psychological overtones; the ending is a surprise. Sonia Braga is known for her role. in "Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands" (1977) . She began her career in Brazilian soap operas and modeling. In 1978, "The Lady on the Bus" was a oox office sensation. Paulo Cesa Pereio, one of Brazil's most loved character actors, has appeared in films such as, "Summer Showers" (1979) and "Everything's OK" (1978). Pereio works his character outside the realm of the cliche. Arnaldo J abor, the Brazilian director, focuses on the visual medium to highlight underlying controversy. He exhausts cinematic variables to explore cultural and political unrest in Brazil. "I Love You" is a Flavia film, produced in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, 1981. It is playing at the Esquire Theater through September 16th. Showings occur daily at 7:15 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., with 3:15 and 5:15 p.m. shows on weekends. The Esquire is located on East 6th Avenue and Downing Streets.

flawless on this record, but what else is new? They know each other so well they could be asleep and still play in perfect synch. The best songs here, believe it or not, are from Stevie Nicks. "That's All Right" is standard Country-Western roots music oozing Nashville nostalgia. Stevie returns to form in "Gypsy," her standard space-princess-with-feathers-inher-hair fare. 路 The bottom line on Mirage: Mac fans will drool, nobody else will notice. The LP neither enhances nor destroys this classic band's reP,utation and, like a mirage, will fade from view as it fades into pop history.

Sixth Avenue East Continued from page 6

Madeleine is all for it. "We want people to get the feeling that something is happening here, whether someone is playing the piano or singing around it or there is new art work or whatever," Madeleine said. Studio A not only helped make it easier to put the gallery together, it helped them make contacts with artists and other art galleries. "V.Te just opened our mouths and said, 'we'r<> looking for artists, come on in'," Madeleine said. They were inundated, literally flooded with people and their art, more than they could ever hang. They decided limiting themselves to "hangable" art was not something that they wanted to do. In today's economy, an art gallery alone wouldn't make it. Art is a luxury item, even when it is moderately priced, Madeleine said. There will always be people buying luxury items, she added, but not really enough to sustain a business. They also had artists just walk in off the street who wanted to sell theit: art. Madeleine recalls one such artist: "A deaf-mute boy walked in one day

with two pictures of some owls and let us know that he was an artist and would ._ we like to see some of his work? He was an enchanting person . . . "It was amazing," she said. "I found i~ almost easier to communi~te with him, rather than verbally: 'with others, because we had to pay really close attention to each other. You establish a com-• munication that you don't with a lot of · other people." Madeleine said that although she and Larry accept artists walking in off the streets, they prefer to set up an appointment with the artist. Them they can.,_ spend rriore time with the person, talking _about his art, looking at his portfolio, and listening to his ideas. One of Madeleine's proudest possession is her computer, which she fondly refers to as her "baby." She said Sixth Avenue East is also a Datatix outlet, and"' will have tickets available to all events handled by Datatix. Larry and Madeleine felt it was the best use their non-existent advertising dollar could make. Looking around, seeing pictures, ~ cards on a plexiglass wall, masks and artsy clothes, Madeleine sums things up by quoting her favorite line: "You ain't going to find it at Woolworth's, honey."

·This calculator thinks business. The TI Student Business Analyst: If there's one thing undergrad

It all means you spend less time calculating, and more students have always needed, this is it: an affordable, time learning. One keystroke business-oriented calculator. takes the place of many. ~usiness

The Student Business Analyst. -

/>

Its built,in business formulas let you perform complicated finance, accounting and statistical functions- the ones that usually require a lot of time and a stack of reference books, like present and future value calculations, amo;tiza, tions and ballo~n payments.

The calculator is just part

of the package. You also get a book that follows most business courses: the Business Anal-vst Guidebook. Business prof~ssors helped us write it,

to help you get the most out of calculator and classroom. A powerful combination. • Think business. ~ Wi~h the Student ' Business Analyst.
