Mercantile sells out to ·AHEC

by Kevin Vaughan The Auraria Mercantile Company agreed March 18 to sell its interest in the Mercantile Restuarant to the Auraria Higher Education Center Board of Direcjors.

According to AHEC Director of Special Programs Joanne Soker, the sale should be finalized by the second. week of April.

Professional Food Manage;nent, under its existing contract with AHEC, will operate the Mercantile on an interim basis until July 1, during which time the AHEC Board will solicit pronosals for new operators to take T over the restaurant after July l.

The Mercantile was closed during spring break for a general clean-up and refurbishing, and opened Monday under PFM a ·anagement.

Soker said there probably would not be a lot of changes, although PFM may introduce some new menu items.

"There won't be a significant change in format," she said.

Enrollment in ethnic路studies declining

by Trimble Russell

Enrollment in the MSC departments of Afro-American Studies and Chicano Studies has declined dramatically in re.._1mt years, causing concern for the survival of these programs.

Ethnic studies on college campuses began as a hard-won victory after a decade of social and political struggle in the 1960s civil rights movement.

Statistics compiled by the M~C Office of Institutional Research show that from the Fall 1977 semester to the Fall 1982 semester sections in Afro-American studies declined from 18 to 10. The total number of seats filled in those sections ~ dropped from 260 to 120. At the same time sections in Chicano studies declined from 15 to 7, while total number of seats filled went from 244 to 67.

"What is happening at Metro is happening at colleges across the country," said John Mukevetz, director of institu>- tional research. "There is a turning away from the idealism of the 1960s and 1970s."

"Students now are much more pragmatic, more ecomomically motivated. They are concerned about jobs and less interested in social problems. They can't see how education in ethnic studies could translate into a job - and so there has been a decline in those areas," he said.

Akbarali Thobhani, chairman of the Afro-American Studies department, is - .,. disturbed about declining enrollment, but sees his field as important for students who want to be well-educated.

"We teach about the experiences of ethnic minorities - their history, culture, politics, psychology and more," Thobhani said. "It is especially important for students in an urban setting to have some understanding of the black experience."

Thobhani suggests that requiring

some courses in Afro-American studies would benefit students majoring in departments like history, sociology, political science, psychology and education.

"It is possible to graduate with a major in history, for instance, without ever taking a course about black civilization.

This is not a well-balanced education," Thobhani said.

While declining enrollment largely reflects declining social and political activism, Thobhani thinks a lack of publicity also has contributed to the problem.

"Ethnic studies courses used to be cross-listed in the MSC class schedule with courses offered by other departments," he said. "When they stopped cross-listing, our enrollment dropped."

Thobhani said that "from time to time' there is talk .of eliminating ethnic studies due to low enrollment.

"The administration must realize that our department has meaning not only to students, but to the whole black community in Denver," he said. "We fill a need other departments are not called upon to fill - like requests for information about the black experience, film festivals, lectures and seminars and hosting visitors from African countries."

Chicano Studies chairwoman Irene Blea mirrors Thobhani in being concerned that an education without some

_.

MSC geographers and the Earth Sciences Department will be the prime host of the annual Association of American Geographers convention at Denver's Hilton Hotel April 24 through 27.

Dr. Roberta Smilnak, associate vice president of Student Affairs at MSC, is chairwoman of the local arrangements committee this year. Smilnak says the convention will draw around 2,500 people from all over the U.S. for a variety of seminars, workshops and field trips.

"Presentations will show the relation of ~graphy to many other subjects and fields such as religion, philosophy, mathematics, history, biology, economics, computers and engineering,and will also help professional geographers and students keep current with what is going on in the field," she said.

Short story contest anl1CU1Ced The Metropolitan is sponsoring a short story contest. 路 There will be two categories: students and faculty. Maximum length is 1,200 to 1,500 words. Entries will be judged by three-person panels of students and

The convention is open to the public and will cover a wide enough range of subjects to have something of interest for everyone.

Field trips in and around Denver and Colorado will feature a variety of scenic tours in British double-decker buses and planes. Some of these trips are definitely on the lighter side, as evidenced by "Social Geography of the East Colfax Strip."

To register for field trips call Dr. Smilnak's office at 629-3077. There is a separate fee for each. Brochures and programs are available at the Student Affairs Office, Room 316, Central Clasgooom.

Several paying and volunteer positions as convention workers are available to students. For more information call Dr. Dixon Smith at 629-3143.

study of ethnic and cultural diversity is not a well-balanced education.

"In a city like Denver, with a large Hispanic minority, students should be required to take some courses that include the history and culture of the Mexican-American," Blea said.

She feels that "body-counts" aren't the only indicator of the value of a department. Her department is also a community resource. Blea is producing the Ninth Street oral history project. The project is a chronicle of the Hispanic community that thrived here prior to construction of the Auraria campus.

Declining enrollment in ethnic studies has caused some financial problems, according to Stanley Sunderwirth, MSC vice president for academic affairs.

"There are long waiting lists for our computer courses, but ethnic studies has a problem getting courses filled. Any area with less enrollment places a greater burden on other areas to meet full-time-equivalent quotas," he said.

Sunderwirth said some AfroAmerican studies courses will be crosslisted with political science courses next semester.

Cross-listing with other departments has been proposed but not yet approved.

"There are both budget and academic sensitivities that must be considered," Sunderwirth ~aid. , ' 10ther departments are concerned that multi-listing could "

cause a decline in enrollment in their own courses. And academic content of courses may not be comparable from one department to another."

He added that be thinks ethnic studies benefits all students and there is no doubt that the courses will be continued.

David Conde, assistant vice president for student affairs and a teacher in the Chicano Studies program, expresses a strong conviction that it is the responsibility of the intellectual community to take the lead in discussion of ethnic studies.

"Ethnic issues just are not what the country wants to talk about anymore," he said. "Now people are talking about the depression, taxes, the price of oil and high interest rates. But the problems caused by racism and poverty are still there. They are worse."

Conde described how ethnic issues used to get losts of media attention. Community centers, protest marches and demonstrations were other vehicles for airing the issues.

"Now that these issues no longer get media attention, and middle-America is no longer involved," he said, "it must be the ethical responsibility of institutions of higher learning to commit themselves to continue the discussion of issues raised by racial and cultural distinctiveness."

the world, promoting democratic forms of government. Yet we do not make it as easy as possible for them to vote in our country. This is a real disadvantage in ~ our government."

Another bill Castro will sponsor this session is one re-establishing a boxing commission in Colorado.

"Because of rising deaths and a number of problems we see in the whole area of boxing, de-regulation has lead to " massive abuse," Castro said. "This is dangerous and the consumers are getting ripped off. Colorado is never picked for big name fighters to come here because they can't get sanctioned; we have no boxing commission." · _, Castro agrees that people are concerned with abuse and the overall effects of social programs. But he disagrees that these prograns are responsible for the major part of the national budget deficit.

"The question of our national deficit ~ is the posture of this administration to pump unduly large sums of money into the military," Castro said. "This does not create jobs, nor does it mean we're on more solid ground militarily. This is not only for military hardware, but money is being spent supporting other - regimes militarily."

He is against the military buildup in El Salvador and doesn't believe the military regime in power now is for the people. He does not want any more military buildup or involvement in Et Salvador.

-' "I don't believe the elections held in El Salvador were fair elections," Castro said. "If we're going to support countries I am more in favor of supporting the people by building up their economy." ,_ His convictions about defense spending also overlap the worldwide question of nuclear free-ze, which is ~ibly affecting our economic situation today.

"At some point countries around the world will have to recognize that we have far surpassed our survival capabilities," Castro said. "We must and should address our domestic needs first."

Our economy is producing a great deal of misery for many people. Many people who were middle class in the past are facing bankruptcy now.

"There are predictions the economy will turn around; I don't see it," Castro said. ''I'm not totally encouraged by what I see. Unemployment is running at its highest point in 40 years. I don't see a lot of new hires going on.

Unemployment is creating what I call the 'new poor.' Many people want to work but can't find employment, and its a misnomer to think its because they're lazy."

Castro accepts that we are moving into a high technology period which requires retraining people for jobs. The retraining of people will be for jobs available today and tomorrow, not n~arily what was available in the past.

"I favor more appropriations for higher education," Castro said. "But we have to realize this is a very difficult period of belt-tightening. Part of the funding problem is we have other social service programs in the system which also require attention. One must be fair to all interests involved when considering who gets what part of the budget pie."

Castro plans to work on maintaining a progressive Education and Jobs Retraining program throughout the State of Colorado.

"A positive aspect of working at the legislature and with AHEC in Denver are my political and corporational contacts," Castro said. "I'm hoping they will be beneficial to the students on the Auraria campus."

Children's week activities planned The Seventh Annual Week of the Young Child, April 4 to 9, will explore children's needs and talents through activities, lectures and workshops.

The Auraria Child Care Center will sponsor the week of celebration when events for parents, teachers and children will commemorate the uniqueness and creativity of small children.

A parade will initiate the week on April 4 at 9:45 a.m. Tots and toddlers from the Auraria Child Care Center and the Auraria Child Development Center, as well as from area child care and

N preschools, will participate. Music provided by Bill Clark and UCD music students will inspire the entourage.

Keep the beat with well-known folk singer and children's music authority Ella Jenkins, who will perform at the Student Center Saturday, April 9, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Jenkins, an internationally known authority on children's music, has recorded over 20 albums, filmed a TV series, written songbooks and recently appeared on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Her performances are called "adventures in rhythm" and adults and children alike join in singing, handclapping and keeping time with instruments ranging from Latin American cowbells to shaking baskets from Kenya.

The music and style are simple; the appeal is magnetic.

Reservations for the concerts must be made in advance. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for students with I.D. and $2 for children.

Two thousand years ago this Friday, men who did not believe in the subtle vision of Christ strung him up and played craps for his worldly possessions. He did not die so much out of ill-will as indifference, a ghost that slipped away from us when we weren't looking.

I am not a Christian, but when Friday comes, I will shudder with sympathy as Christians everywhere feel the loss, wandering to church to reattach themselves to something too often ignored or forgotten. Secret dreams left unattended finally disappear, never to return again. Remember to feed your heart, and remember that Good Friday is also April Fool's Day. Carson Reed

The first article of this column returned a variety of inquiries from my friends (both of them) over my intent and purpose for writing it. I had initially entitled the column - "Abstractions." My first friend read it, and responded, "Serious thinking, hmmm?" I was taken aback. I have never been accused of that before.

(I think all this college stuff is beginning to affect me.

Time to graduate and/or drop out.) My other friend, with a suspiciously amiable smile, mused, "Going off the deep end, eh?"

Shudder. That harmless(?) remark brought back to mind an incident from my past of a summer spent learning how to swim at the YMCA. I had no earthshattering desire to learn how to swim. I had just gotten walking down straight.

The first week of class the instructor illustrated the techniques of eye-opening underwater, ("Just open 'em.), floating, and paddling back and forth across the pool while holding a styrofoam board that prior students had taken bites from. I excelled in eyeopening, ("Four fingers!"), but was mediocre at floating and paddling. No big deal. Whenever I started to sink, I just stood up. The water level came to my chin. To survive I merely had to keep my mouth shut. I got by.

The second week, however, the instructor greeted us at the shower room door. He pointed ominously toward the other end of the pool, announcing, jovially, that the class had graduated, summa cum laude, to . . . The Deep End/ Serious business. With the confidence of a condemned man waiting for the gov's reprieve, I knew, without question, that I was going to. drown.

My tum came, eventually.. .inevitably. I walked to the edge of the diving board and looked down. Gulp!

I stalled for time by bouncing up and down on the • board - plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk. The instructor became impatient and, with a long pole used to skim scum (scum-skimmer?) off the water, he issued a prod of encouragement - "Jump, you idiot!" So, with nothing akin to the grace of a swan, I took the plunge.

I sank like a brick. A straight shot to the bottom, where I immediately initiated the drowning ritual.

The ritual includes the only technique I had mastered in class --:- eye-opening; the rest is improvised. I had heard once that the process of drowning is a pleasant, euphoric experience. Well, that's a lot of bull.

The rescue was anti-climactic. I saw them coming, their eyes as bugged-out as my own. I wanted to laugh, maybe I did. On deck, after my lungs were pumped water-free, I know I did.

The event was a turning point. I knew I had taken swimming too seriously. I had been preoccupied with drowning, and pretty near learned how to on the onelesson plan. I relaxed, and learned how to swim instead.

With that incident in mind, this column changed ti- * tle, and direction. Serious? No-ho, not I. Going off the deep end? Perhaps, but with little intent, and less purpose. Tlie title is, rather, a symbol, a reminder that accompanying the dread of matters, the hesitating and wondering - plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk - there awaits a surprising discovery.

No, not death.

The spirit of laughter.

Bill threatens students' control 路over fees Student Government Report Greetings and welcome back to the books.

I sincerely hope your spring break arrived in time to rescue you from the wrenching grind of your studies.

While you were away sunning in Florida, our State Legislature was up on the hill devising additional ways to further curtail our rights as students.

State Representative Frank DeFilippo, Chairman of State Affairs, member of Rules Committee, introduced H.B. 1510. The intent of the bill is to limit the power

'-

of students attending any public state institution (e.g.

MSC, UCO and CCD) to decide when, where, and how student fees should or should not be spent, in support of any activities of a political nature. This would extend to clubs, public speakers, lectures and student government elections.

This bill should be of major concern to all of us as students. If this bill should pass, it will have a long lasting effect on our educational pursuits. As students seeking higher educational enlightenment, we chose to subjugate ourselves to the diverse knowledge that our shared campus has to offer.

We owe it to ourselves to speak out in response to such irresponsible legislation.

As your elected pr.esident, I represented your in-

terests last week, as I lobbied against the bill over spring break.

I will inform you of the progress of the bill in this column next week. I would like to inform you of an up-coming event. On April 15, MSC student government will be sponsoring citizen's advocate Ralph Nader in the Student Center. Stay tuned for further details and co-sponsors.

On a final note, I would like to congratulate Richard Bellizzi, editor of The Metropolitan, on winning third place in the "Journalist of the Year" live writing competition in Santa Fe over spring break.

Fellow students, have a good week.

Respectfully yours, Michael Johnson President A.S.M.S.C.

AURARIA BOOK CENTER Denver's Education Store

955 Lawrence St. M·Th 8·7:30, Fri 8·5, Sat 10·2

co-sponsored by St. Joseph Hospital Health Reach and the Grief Education Institute.

Kushner authored this very personal book because of his son's death at age 14 of the disease progeria (rapid aging) . He wanted to write a book that was not concerned with defending God's honor, replete with proof that bad is really good. He said about the books he read following his son's death: "They had answers to all of their own questions, but no answers for mine, "The misfortunes of good people are not only a problem to the people who suffer and to their families," Kushner said. "They are a problem to everyone who wants to believe in a just and fair and livable world."

He said people make sense of the world's suffering by assuming that we deserve what we get.

"When I was on the receiving end I discovered how unhelpful the conventional answers seemed to be," he said.

Well-meant consolation doesn't console but flatters and defends God. Common statements include: "At least you have other children," "It will be for the best~" or "You will be a better person."

Thus the right to be hurt and angry is . taken away; friends think the best way to help is to push the survivor through the grieving p~ quickly.

When someone asks, "Why me?" or "Why would God do this?", it is not a question, according to Kushner, but a cry of pain. The person wants consolation, not explanation. · "We are all touched by stories of people suffering tragedy and when we try to answer the question none of the usual responses seem to work," he said.

"Why did this happen?" is unanswerable; it focuses on the past and produces feelinw; of helplesmess and guilt.

thought God would bless them with pro- ' sperity because they kept their side of the bargain, living a good and religious life.

And now, Kushner says that the key to his whole understanding is that God could not possibly want tragedies to _ ·happen.

"I don't believe it is His will," he said.

There are forces other than God that allow good people to suffer; you can see God as on your side."

People make sense of tragedy as God's will and hate themselves for having ~ deserved it, or God for having caused it.

"Just be there and care. Hug aomeone, If something you woula BtJY ~ not IN

But Kushner points to the randomness of the universe and explains that the laws of nature are morally blind.

"A falling rock has no idea who it's falling on," he said. "And there is the human freedom to be cruel to each other."

We try to make sense of the world and #ft8 justify it - you did something and it is right this happened to you. For instance, when a woman is attacked she's often blamed while the rapist is not.

"The least helpful,' Kushner pointed out, "is to tell the person what they did to deserve this tragedy. Just be there and care. Hug someone, hold his hand, and say, 'I'm sorry'. If something you would say is not better than that, don't say it."

Watson explains that part of the bereavement period, up to a year, will require the person to eKperience grief ":.: again and again and again, especially in sudden loss. "'What if?', 'If only'; they don't necessarily want to hear or to have the other person fix it, but to listen to them, to cry with them, to be there," she said.

Watson str~ that the most difficult deaths are those that are sudden and illtimed. Grieving cannot be worked on prior to the death, particularly if the anger is directed at the surviving loved one, as with an angry suicide.

Kushner agrees that there is a great __, deal of anger people don't know what to do with and it focuses on people who are nearest. And friends don't want us to hurt so they try and alleviate the anger and hurt by minimizing the loss, but a grieving person .has the right to feel the world has fallen on him or her.

MSC psychology profestor Mary Ann Watson concurs.

"There are no answers to the 'Why me?' question. A lot of situations seem unfair," Watson said. "Death is not rational, predictable, and it doesn't follow. I don't think people expect to have that answered."

And the well-known author on death and dying, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, in her book, Death: The Final Stage of Growth, affirms that: " ... death strikes indiscriminately - it cares not at all for the status or position of the ones it chooses; everyone must die, whether rich or poor, famous or unknown.

"Even good deeds will not excuse their doers from the sentence of death," Kubler-Ross wrote. "The good die as often as the bad."

Kushner credits Kubler-Ross with inKubler-R~ relates a mother's feelin~ troducing grief as a universal issue to be for the dying daughter in her book, To examined.

And. Kushner says we don't give people permission to feel because we are uncomfortable in the pre5ence of honest feeling; we are supposed to keep a stiff upper lip.

Because being able to see how a particular major translates into a job is an invaluable insight for any student, the UCD Alumni Association, in conjunc~ tion with the UCO Cooperative Educa~tion Department, has instituted a Job Shadow Program which I,llatches UCD students with UCD alumni for a one-day on-the-job experience.

The idea behind the program is to let students see how their studies apply to a particular career. A one-day experience £On a job with a UCD alumnus could also create a bond of friendship between alumni and students.

'boy, do I hurt.'"

Watson identifies three categories of unhealthy grief reaction: Delayed grief: What we typically think is appropriate is to grieve immediately after the death, but some people become immersed in activity right away. It appears that they haven't gone through the grieving process at all, but some later insignificant loss may trigger the grief from that previous loss.

Inhibited grief reaction: The person who's bereaved never faces the grief but it emerges in psychomatic ways like asthma, ulcers, back pain or headaches.

Oironic grief: Grieving occurs far beyond what is acceptable or healthy in the grieving p~ and redefinition can't happen. The struggle goes on year after year and the person receives a great deal of attention for being a sufferer. Th~ negative reinforcement locks the person into a sick or dependent role.i "I would look at the underlying mues of guilt, despair and anger," Watson said. "If the person felt a great deal of guilt over the anger I would suggest a third party who can ~ the feelings and redefine the guilt and give permisD sion for expression of anger.''

Tooley confident he,s

by Audrey Kolpan Former Denver District Attorney Dale Tooley thinks he is one mayoral candidate Denver needs to listen to with open ears. His understanding of Denver past and present, he feels, is incomparable, as is his experience of accomplishing well thought-out goals.

At the base of this native Denverites' network are a list of people which reads like something from a boy scout oath.

Tooley likes "yes" people. He searches for reality and optimism, for those who can understand government, and more importantly, what can be done with government.

Asked what his best attributes are in this, his third attempt at the city's top job, he answered humbly, "My background and experience in dealing with people; recruiting the best possible people; living with a budget; making more out of l~; being able to enthuse

people and maintain morale; understand ing that this city has the unique opportunity to be the best anywhere."

Many issues are involved in making this city "the best anywhere." Tooley views Denver's citizenry to be of the highest caliber and is confident that their support will be evident in the May election.

He sees Denver's current position as one that could teeter one way or the other. .

"There are situations right now that could be risky if not handled correctly," he cautioned.

The situations involved range from the airport and light rail to suburb rela- , tionships and downtown housing.

Speaking on light rail, he said we should begin building a light rail system in increments and keep adding on. This solution would prevent booming taxes while beginning to answer some serious ecological problems concerning carbon monoxide. He would like to see RTD become more useful and accessible within the city of Denver, and also a more synchronized method in traffic planning, which raised the issue of the Colfax viaduct restoration project.

What puzzles him most is the timing, but he is realistic about the danger on the viaduct and the necessity of the restoration.

right~·

Tooley intends to negotiate with the suburbs concerning water. He wants to see the litigation settled, and soon.

Understanding to what extent the , . suburbs use Denver water, he believes they should pay their fair share.

The airport poses another important issue in this election. Tooley wants to expand Stapleton onto the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and not have it moved to Adams County. .Tooley's views on city contracts are firm.

"Denver is losing severe amounts of money for a multitude of reasons," he said. Some examples he cited are: erroneous payments to concessions like the golf course and zoo, special favors to builders and contractors, and city money being in non-productive accounts.

According to Tooley, changes need to be made. City contracts must be bid competitively and then enforced, he said.

The city should follow a straightforward plan, and city money should be placed in non-interest bearing accounts and be free to be used properly.

Tooley would also like to see less use of automobiles, vigorous emission law enforcement, and more enforcement of city laws. Another major change he considers a high priority is the develop-

Tooley bas said, concerning downtown housing, that he'd like to accomplish "a mosaic conducive to the highest level of urban living." He explained that in order to stimulate more · productive urban living, it is necessary to mix levels economically. Stressing heavily that "negotiation" with builders and contractors to initiate housing that is not confined to only the very rich would be the only route to affect this change.

The negotiations with builders and contractors is only one of many matters in which this strategy will be used. Be. ing able to select his own cabinet and appoint a charter of 50 officers on a bipartisan basis (as his past record proves), Tooley feels assured that progress in all ranges can occur.

Along with the staff he chooses,

ment of the South Platte River Valley. ·"This area is n~ry to economic vitality," he said.

Necessary development for Denver doesn't end with the South Platte River Valley. Tooley is anxious to expand · Denver's job base, and he wants a more aggressive attitude in recruiting and retai ni ng high technological advancements.

Realizing that high tech is the way of the future and an efficient answer to a .. high unemployment problem, Tooley sees the Auraria Higher Educational Center to be of importance in "developing the quality, content, and extent of high tech fields." He believes that the better facilities Denver has to train and educate students in a particular field, the more productive expansion we'll see in the city and its job base.

/or the job Tooley is very supportive of education and has many students working for him in his campaign, as he did when he was District Attorney. Lisa Hogan, a law student at the University of Denver, used to work in the former D.A.'s office.

"He is the most efficient and effective administrator," she said. "Projects get completed under his direction and everyone shares equally in the accomplishments."

--

Tooley's recruits work for him and stay with him. At his campaign headquarters, you'll find an aura of comraderie, determination and support. • Everyone is eager for issues to be raised and answers to be given. One has the feeling that no one is a stranger and all should be heard.

"Politics are like any other relationship in society," Tooley said, "and to be completely truthful is not only ob- ' tainable, but highly advisable."

Trenchcoat has potential, but fails

by David Emrich

What has happened here? Something has definitely gone wrong with this movie. We are seeing a lot of people acting up there. We are hearing people speak dialogue.

There is beautiful scenery. In short, there is a good story going on up there. What's wrong, then?

There's a lot wrong with it. As Margot Kidder says in the movie, "If you looked in the dictionary under 'stupid', you'd find its picture."

The biggest problem with this movie is the attitude that is taken by the actors when speaking their "funny' dialogue.

Simply put, both Margot Kidder and Robert Hays seem to be saying their lines with the attitude, "Look, I'm funny!"

In reality, all they are doing is acting funny.

The script fails in most of its one-liner humor.

Weak sexual innuendo is followed by weak insults to everyone's

intelligence. How can anyone laugh at a line which starts with, "Well, here is the private dick ... er... eye, on the way... " This is not to say that I did not laugh at some of the comic lines, but the ~ack of variety of comedy in this film leaves much to be desired.

The sight gags, moreover, lack originality. One observation will sufficiently show this. How many movies have you seen whiCh show crazy foreign taxi drivers? If this is Friday, it must be Malta.

Ah, Malta, what a wonderful place to have a murder/mystery/comedy take place. Any time a film takes place in a location which is. exotic in nature, it can't help but be more interesting. Unfortunately, the setting director Michael Tuchner uses in this piece of fluff is not used effectively. There is little difference in the way that this background is used than in films of the 1930s. There is . nothing aesthetically pleasing or

Margot Kidder in Trenchcoat.

· useful about having this story set in Malta. Malta becomes little more than a• projected backdrop.

This is most apparent when compared with one of the better movies out this year, The Verdict. In this mystery, every setting reeks of the suspense of waiting for the verdict on Paul Newman's life. From the first scene (in the bar} to the last (with Newman watching the ringing phone) the mise-enscene contributes to the suspense in the film.

Trenchcoat's failures are really too bad. Even its strengths are not exploited. David Suchet's performance is~ wonderful as the inspector. Unfortunately (again} he is not used extensively. The basic story line really deserves more than the treatment it was given here. In short, although this movie fails in many ways, you could also find its • picture next to the definition of "potential" in at least most dictionaries.

MSC's Mickey ·o'Donnell honored with YWCA award

r...-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---.

I

by Tammy Williams

Marie "Mickey" O'Donnell, a senior member of the MSC women's varsity volleyball team, was named the YWCA Intercollegiate Sportswoman of Col~ orado for 1983 in the volleyball division.

It was probably no big surprise that· O'Donnell, a 5-foot, 6-inch woman with a vertical jump of 24 inches, received this award, considering the number of previous honors that she had recently earned.

"This year she achieved more individual honors than any player I have had in my 14 years of coaching here," wrote Pat Johnson, MSC volleyball coach, in nominating O'Donnell.

Honors that O'Donnell has received -.-this season include being selected to the All-Tournament teams at the Regis, MSC and Colorado College Invitational tournaments, as well as being recognized nationally at the NAIA national tournament, where she was selected to the All-Tournament first team, and later, awarded the title of All-America.

"You can't do it without a coach," O'Donnell said, "and you can't do it without a team. I think that Pat and I got along real well and that contributed to my success."

Even though O'Donnell has com-

pleted her four years of eligibility in competitive volleyball, she continues to compete, but for a different division the United States Volleyball Association - a competitive member of the MSC women's varsity softball team, and she received an All-District selection as an · outfielderlast season.

Persian new year Celebration ends Sunday Sunday, April 3, marks the end of the 13-day celebration of the Zoroastrian new year of 1362, which began this year at the vernal equinox.

"No Rooz," which means "new day," has been celebrated by Persians for over 2,500 years. The observation of the holiday begins with the setting of a "haft seen" table; that is, a table holding seven things that start with sabzy, the persian letter "s".

Among the seven items is a bundle of ·grass, which, on the thirteenth day, is thrown away, symbolizing the rejection of things that are bad.

It didn't take a genius to tell your mind wasn't o n your s tudies. But it did take a couple of s mart roomies to do some fhing about it. ~:: So out came the calculators. And the doughnuts. And they started drilling vou until you knew physics as well as you know yourself.

When it was all OYer, vou· · showed them that there. was ) one more thing you knew something about- gratitude.

This summer, the Wilderness Experience Program is recruiting field counselors and interns to work with young people through a series of summer backpacking trips and interactions with the family in the home environment.

WEP is a private, non-profit organization that offers opportunities for youth to take on responsibilities, build self-confidence, work cooperatively and make positive changes in their lives.

All field counselors participate in a comprehensive training program which ...covers WEP philosophy, group process and procedures, backcountry ethnic and safety, initiative activities and envirorunental awareness.

WEP is looking for people who are dependable, energetic and interested in helping young people help themselves.

Many lasting friendships and unforgetable memories result from the WEP experience. If you wish to get more information and would like an application please contact the WEP office at 477-2765.
