Bill would restrict use of student fees -I

Mandatory 'taxes' challenged

by Richard Bellizzi

The Colorado House gave preliminary passage last week to a bill that would prohibit student governments at state colleges from using student fees for "activities of a political nature" without in-. dividual students' approval. House Bill 1510, sponsored by Rep. · Frank DeFilipo, R-Golden, originally' · 'called for the prohibition of the use of public money by any state or local government for political purposes. It _ has since been amended to apply only to _.~-tudent fees. In supporting his bill in the House, Rep. DeFilipo condemned the mandatory ~rnent of student fees, saying such a requirement "violates students' rights." He contended that student fees, ,. once collected, become public money. DeFilipo cited the use of student fees by the Colorado Public Interest Research Group as an example of what his bill opposes.

The student leaders emphasized their opinion that the bill's restrictions atsword" that would take money away tempt "to subvert the rights of students from campus political organizations and to associate in a democratic forum.

CoPIRG, with offices on four Colorado campuses, is a studen't-fee supported organization that lobbies lawmakers and serves students as a consumer advocate. DeFilipo condemned CoPIRG's use of students' fees without their prior ap'proval and said his bill, if passed, "would shift the money up-front." In debate on the bill, several legislators pointed out their perceived ambiguities in the term "political activities:' "It is im~ible to determine between what is educational and political," said Rep. Wayne Know, D-Denver. "The two are inexplicabfy entwined." House Mi~ority Leader David Ska~, · D-Boulder, called the bill "an unworkable proposition.

In a 5-3 vote the SFPC · "'.ithdrew its 1980 ban on selling Coors 'in student-funded facilities. There will be no immediate change in ... brands of beer sold. The committee also voted to survey student beer preferences A .before making any changes. December 1983 deadline was set for completing the survey. Debate was heated as supporters of the beer ban hurled charges alleging "at the Adolp}l Coors Co. supports extreme right-wing political groups, pollutes the environment .with toxic wastes, violates the constitutional rights of brewery workers through use of lie detector tests, discriminates against women and minorities and makes parts '\or nuclear weapons. Brendan Kelley, secretary-treasurer of the MSC Rugby Club and a prime mover behind the move to lift the Coors beer ban, praised Coors for its support of campus athletic activities. ~ "None of the other beer companies who sell here do as much for students," Kelley said. He cited Coors' contributions to campus recreation programs

and printing ads and posters for sports tournaments as examples. Kelly said he could find no evidence that Coors any longer discriminates against women and minorities. Doug Vaughan, an MSC journalism instructor and advisor to the International Committee Against Racism, a group supporting the Coors ban, called the Coors report on company hiring practices a "pile of propaganda." "Times have changed. Coors now prominently features minority people in their ads," Vaughan said, although he disputed that there had been any significant change in Coors' alleged discriminatory hiring practices. Environmental issues are another reason to continue the ban on selling Coors in the Mission, according to Doug Marttnez, president of M.E.Ch.A., an MSC Hispanic student group supporting the ban. "The Coors family was behind the appointment of James Watt and had Ann Burford (former EPA director) on the payroll," Martinez charged. "And they dump toxic wastes into Stanley Lake, a drinking source for Northglenn and Thornton." AFL-CIO representative Steve Bieringer told SFPC members that Coors was a union-busting company with a

long history of violating labor relations laws. He also charged that Coors used lie detectors to weed out workers with unusual sex habits or radical political beliefs. Coors was defended by John Meadows, a company community relations director. Meadows denied that Ann Burford had ever been on the company payroll and also denied that brewery workers had to answer questions about their sex lives. Meadows said prospective workers are asked about membership in the Communist Party, but said that the AFLCIO does the same thing. Meadows was not prepared to answer specific questions about the placement of women and minorities at Coors, but did say that one out of nine employees

are women, and one out of seven are members of ethnic minorities. Coors has never made parts for nuclear weapons, Meadows said, nor do they dump toxic wastes in the environment. Julie Johnson, director of college marketing for Coors, said the SFPC should support a· "democratic environment" by allowing students to make a choice about whether or not they wish to buy Coors beer. The five votes to rescind the motion banning Coors were cast by Deanna Seals, Lyn Drebus, Elizabeth White, Gina Johnson and Joyce Parks. Voting to maintain the ban were Francis Sgarlatti, John Surette and Doug Mar~~.

.. Cheap thrills· become ex-citation& by Mark Lapedus What looked like a good time for two MSC students turned into an accident ~when one of the students slid off the hood of a moving car and was injured at an Auraria par.Icing lot Wednesday, March 30. Steve Vachon, 19, was injured in the 12:15 p.m. accident at Lot Cat 1350 7th St. Laura Lee Bryan, 18, who was driving the car, said Vachon was on the

hood of her car in order to be driven to his car - in the same lot. "I was giving him a ride to his car," Bryan said. "He willingly got on the hood." -Bryan said she didn't know why Vachon was on the hood. "He was just riding there," she said. Bryan said she started the car and then drove about 2 to 3 mph in the lot and wanted to turn down a row of cars. "I was going to turn and he slipped off," she said.

Auraria Public Safety Sgt. J. D. noticFerguson arrived on the scene and 1 ed Vachon in serious condition. "He drifted in and out of reality," Ferguson said. "He showed symptoms of having a concussion." An ambulance too.le Vachon to Denver General Hospital, and he was treated for bumps and bruises and later released. -..... According to the Auraria Public Safety report, Vachon was cited for riding outside a vehicle and Bryant for reckless

driving. Meanwhile, Vachon lost his backpack during the confusion at the parking lot. The pack contained his notes, a calculator, Cross pens and an economics workbook, all worth about $100. "Nobody seems to know where it is,'' Vachoo said. "If I find it, then everything would be OK." "It had everything in it," he said. 0

Adults returning to college can receive academic credit for prior learning aiid life experience through the MSC Adult Learning and Assessment Center. There are four ways adults can receive credit other than regular college classes. These include: College Level Examination Program; credit military training and/or experience; credit by examination and credit for life ex-

periences. CLEP tests are college-level examinations designed to determine proficiency in a number of academic areas. The test is sub-divided into two separate series of examinations, subject exams and general exams. Subject examinations apply to specific college courses and the general examinations cut across a wide spectrum of freshman-level courses. Veterans can receive credit for some

Doing the Colorado Carp Club story (see page seven) gave me an eerie sense of deja vu. From the moment the president strayed into the office and into my sphere of awareness, he began to tell a story that had -' an exceedingly familiar ring to it. In case you missed it, the Colorado Carp Club is run by a man named Chuck, who thought the idea up in a moment of weakness. It has no membership roles, collects no dues, holds no meetings and subscribes to no particular creed or ethic. All you have to do to join is buy a t-shirt with a drawing of a carp on it, thereby .. becoming a human billboard for a silly fish. Chuck is hoping that sufficient numbers of people will want to be carp ambassadors to make him wealthy, or at least wealthier, for his efforts. Chuck doesn't bother to explain, really, why he thinks people would want to join his "club." But if he ~ is successful, and I think he might be, I think I know how come. By a strange and inexplicable coincidence, it so happens that I have belonged t"8n organization frighteningly similar to his for over a decade. The organization I have belonged to for so long is als·o run by a man named Chuck. This group also has • no membership roles, collects no dues, holds no meetings, and subscribes to no particular creed. It also, believe it or not, revolves around the betterment of public relations for a silly fish. To wit: The Royal Tuna Underground Armed Forces, of which I have been duly christened the Grand W azoo in Charge of the Ministry of Education. No joke. The actual concept behind the two clubs is also strikingly similar. These are clubs for people who don't join clubs.

They are parodies of clubs, really, in which the silliness of "joiners" is exposed and glorified as the sole (no pun intended) reason for the club's existence. The R.T.U.A.F. was born in a drainage culvert in 1971. It was the brainchild of a forlorn runaway who was living in the aforementioned drainage culvert. In the general realm of things as he found them, there was no club that wanted him, no group that would let him in. He was doing lousy at school, and even lousier at home. The R.T.U.A.F. , with him at the helm, was a method of getting around a set of rules that he couldn't play by, simply by making up his own. He just wanted to be a hotshot somewhere, somehow, even if the whole thing was a fiction. But it was a brilliant piece of fiction, because it got immediate support from other teen-aged non-joiners like me, who also felt a craving to belong to something without having to try and be what we were not. As a group, we had literally nothing in common except our own desire to be redeem~d from wretchedness. Teenagers are remarkably resilient, but also frighteningly delicate. The R.T.U.A.F. was a monument to the adaptability of the species as well as a reminder of human frailty. It was tailormade to bring refuge to our rampant insecurities. It felt good to be IN instead of OUT. Not that we ever kept anybody out. All you had to do to join the R.T.U.A.F. was make up a silly name for yourself and promise to say "Eat Tuna" every now and again when you picked up the phone or kissed a · date goodnight. Not even those rules were enforced.

Ail you really had to do was want to join. It was a new concept in elitism. Status on demand, like a minor clause hidden in the fine print at the bottom of the Bill of Rights. The secret dream, of course, was to belong. Teenagers are notorioUs conformists, and we were no exception. The difference was, the conformism didn't take the form of good looks that we didn't have or clothes that we couldn't afford or grades that we couldn't get. Instead, it was an elaborate private joke shared by very different people. Its only function was to be there when invoked. The R.T.U.A.F. will always be a reminder to me of why secret dreams remain secret - of how strong the pressure to belong weighs on all of us, even now, as adults. It is also a reminder of the extravagant lengths that we'll all go to in order to salvage our delicate pride. But it's more that that, really. Every year the R.T.U.A.F. throws a party for its ranks, which now span from British Columbia to Tampa, Florida, and for that on~ day each year, it has become common ground for the fast-fading friendships of those outrageous years. Yep, I think the president of the Colorado Carp Club may have accidentally tapped a huge and unseen market. I can think of nothing as useful as a thing that can make you feel different, and yet still make you feel as if you belonged. Canon Reed

Friday Night Fiasco, the antithesis of Monday Morning Blah, is something to measure life by. A fabulous Friday night can balance out (or destroy) an entire week of continual sane thought, and tl\e effects of civilization. One way to determine the success of your effort is to evaluate your mental status on Saturday morning. If you' re able to, have you failed. Here is another method: The Fun Friday Scale (I.IO) (Rate yourself) · 1. Worthless: Pitifully broke and disgustingly sober. Or, the cause-and-effect Friday night. No cash, no gas, and the siphoning hose has sprµng a leak. A night spent in front of the tube with a glass of milk and a box of Cracker Jacks. The highlight of the evening comes when you get the B.B.'s in the eyeholes of the Toy Surprise. Masochism. 2. Worth More: But no much more. Pop bottle refunds return a small cash flow. Still no gas in auto, but a brisk stroll to the Booze Palace yields a discount six-pack of Old Milwaukee beer. Six rapid-fire 9necan guzzles help to put your lights out. It's a good thing. Misery. 3. Comraderie: You've found a f riend with money! And a car. On the way to the Booze Palace, assure your friend that Michelob is a better deal than Old Milwaukee. The friend buys Old Mil, anyway. Back at home, entertain yourselves by having a rapid-fire guzzle contest. Misery loves company. 4. Eureka: You found five bucks in the gutter! Invite a few friends to go for a twelve-pack of Ord Mil. Avoid those people trying to convince you to buy Michelob. The evening starts to come alive until the beer's gone, along with your friends. Sociable. , 5. Co-op: You and you,r friends have money! A beer pool is established and, after a brief argument, the consensus is for a case of Old Milwaukee over a twelvepack of Michelob. The music cranks, the neighbors complain. Someone finds a magic marker and draws a . dartboard on the wall. Go for the steak knives. Innovative. 6. Hallelujah!: Payday! Order a keg before the bills arrive. You'll regret it later, but not tonight. Borrow.

some speakers that will blow holes in the wall. Invite a mob. There are complaints about the Old Mil, but everyone sucks it down, anyway. Someone barfs on your carpet. The police park in your driveway while the neighbors sic their Doberman on the drunks drowning in their birdbath. Dartboards on the wall are dangerous. Insane. 1. Look Out World!: Cause here you come! The bills are paid, the auto is fed, and the~e's ten bucks singing sufferance tunes in your pocket. Time to step out · nothing fancy, a real dive. Wear old blue jeans. Order Old Mil if it's on tap. (It is.) Management frowns on dartboards drawn on their walls; don't try it, you'll )Vind up on the bottom of a swamp. Stay sober enough to drive home. Good time. 8. Incredible!: Your income exceeds your outgo by fifty bucks! There's a swagger in your step. Go to a place with a cover charge, a live band, and a dress code. Check your coat. Hell, order Michelobl Crack Old Milwaukee jokes. Get loose, dance the night away. This place has real dartboards so watch where you walk. Better have a friend drive you home. Don't forget your coat. Great time. 9. Shock!: You're qualified for MasterChargel Not a worry in the world. Take your card and go to a place with a chandelier and an orchestra. Wear a tuX, or evening gown. Order mixed drinks. Old Milwaukee? Is that a city in Wisconsin? Dartboards, ha!, child's play. Get rip-roaring wild. Dance, if you can. Take a taxi home. Deadly hangover. Worth it. 10. Nirvana: THIS IS IT! You drive up to the private club in a limousine. Your tux, or evening gown, sparkles with diamond sti,ids. The waitresses never leave your table. Order imported champagne. Ah, the orchestra has written you a song. There's a phone at your table. E.F. Hutton calls, and you put him on hold. You've purchased Old Milwaukee's brewery.

president of Colorado Carp Club hopes he's got a big one on the line.

"Carp are very prolific," he said. "The females lay .as much as a half a million eggs at a throw." Chuck modestly admits that he is no carp expert, although such people do exist. "This all started out as a joke, an idea that was the result of too many beers," he said. "I was surprised when the Colorado Division of Wildlife got a hold of me. They said that, among biologists at least, there really are some true-blue _c arp fans out there." Chuck said that realization gave new meaning to his efforts.

''Even thoug!i this all started out as a joke," be says, "if someone was to realize along the way that carp was really a pretty good fish, that would make me feel good inside, you know?" And so ended Chuck's tale. In the Orient, the carp is much admired for its courage and determination, and it looks like a little bit of it has rubbed off on Chuck. The man has backbone.

Video art requires involvement

i

I I I l I

by Jeri Lawson

I I I

Video Viewpoints, a video exhibition curated by UCD/MSC instructor Gary Emrich, showed March 31 through April 2 at the Sebastian-Moore Gallery. This was the first time an exhibition of nationally renown video artists has been shown in a major Denver gallery. It confronted any doubts questioning video as a viable fine art medium and established its place in the Denver fine art galleries. Perceiving video is different from viewing traditional art media because the video artist dictates by the length of the tape how long the viewer devotes his or her attention. You don't leisurely stroll around the gallery, noticing what everyone is wearing and selectively focus your attention from one art object to another. The gallery is dark, you walk in, choose a folding chair in front of the three monitors and concentrate on the work being presented. There isn't even anything to buy. Besides determining the duration of your attention span, video demands an active attention span. "It takes involvement by the audience," Emrich said. "It is not the

Clue - A tribute to Galileo placating or comforting response you will get from commercial television. The audience has to be aware. They have to be conscious." The work shown represented the efforts of nine artists. "I wanted to have the widest possible range of interests of people worlcing in video," Emrich said. "I tried to get something from every (art) category ... the widest possible range of considerations." While the tapes were diverse, the influence of the Chicago style was evident. MSC photography instructor Barbara Houghton described the show as "very much Chicago video. There is obviously image processing in there, which points

to a certain machine that isn't all over the country. There's a lot of layered images ... It's not just one look, it's sort of a feeling you get. There's a kind of intensity, a survival intensity that comes across in the tapes - it's not just silly, foolish matter." "I thought on the whole it was basically a good show of video," sculptor and Center for Idea Art cofounder Brian Dreith commented. "The first part was just too much to see in one night. I'm having a hard time going back and talking about them; I remember the images but I don't have a real clear idea about what each piece was about. "It either didn't come through or I didn't have time to think about it before I was hit with half a dozen other indepth pieces. Most of these pieces were. fairly dense pieces, really a lot of information on both the visual and audio," he said. I think it would be great to have video around more so we wouldn't have to have it quite so densely packed together." Painter and MSC art professor Charles W . Hayes, a long-active member of the Denver art community, attended the show. "I've seen a lot of video and it's boring," Hayes said. "It seems like boredom is an inherent part of the art form .. .It seems like a lot of masturbation, them (the video artists) with their toys and tools and me sitting there being masturbated or masturbating myself." "I was really glad Bill was here,'' Emrich said. "He is open to a lot of things whether he likes them or not. He was one of the few faculty members that came. "Artists in general are more conservative than other groups. They are less open to other new mediums. They are more territorial. Painters are frightened by photography and photographers are frightened by video. I really believe that's the case." The program began with Jeanine Mellinger's Nightmare, which was shown in the Museum of Modern Art last year. A beautiful example of the effects of the image processor, it incorporates the images and concepts of ballet, horse training, dreams, society and relationships into an intricate and moving work of art.

Secret Horror The longest tape (30 minutes) in the show was AlienNATION, created by Barbara Latham, Ed Rankus and John Manning. This tape won the grand • prize at the 1982 Tokyo International Video Festival. "It was a pretty tight piece, considering it was done by three different people,'' Dreith said. "It just kind of progressed through a series of statements ~ with great visuals to support those statements. It was a good piece." There was a strong reaction to Lectra Nancy by Beth Berolzheimer. "It was haunting to me," said Houghton. "The sound track was real important to that one. She keeps saying 'I wish I could remember 1968' and there are all these sort of images of pain, psychological pain and pressure. "I thought it was really a strong piece ... I know there was something about it that got me." Other tapes included D.L. Bean's A Tribute to Galileo, and Baldessari Sings Sol Lewitt, by conceptual artist John Baldessari. Secret Horror, a sit-com satire by Michael Smith, seemed to provide a light-hearted change of pace. There were two tapes by Dara Berolzheimer entitled General Hospital/Olympic Speed Skating and Kojak!Wang. The last tape was a quiet, elegantly sequential work by Mark Paul Petrick. "It's a sweet piece that gives across the information very plainly; straight, for- <. ward." Dreith said. Equipment for the show was don~ted by Western Cine and Ceavco Audio/Visual, and Sebastian-Moore donated the space. By charging a $3 donation, the show generated enough money to pay the artists for renting their work, which is a significant indicator that video in the art gallery may become as accepted and commonplace as acrylic paint. 0

Group reviews Hispanic Issues The Hispanic Faculty Staff ~ocia­ tion was organized in February 1981 after a task force was formed during the academic year of 1979-80 to look into Hispanic issues at MSC.

-

Included in the HFSA are C~canos,. Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. "We try to . encompass all Hispanics," said Mike Miera, as.sistant director of admissions at MSC. "We ·want to include all Latinos in our organization." During the fall of 1976 a group of Chicano faculty met to form the Educafores de Atzlan, the forerunner of HFSA. According to Yolanda Ortega, acting director of student services, several critical events served as · a catalyst: Chicano student enrollment decreased in the previous year, the number of Chicano professional staff decreased, and faculty in · Chicano Studies and Bi-lingual Education were lost. . Some of the goals of the HFSA are to

serve as a support system, especially in welcoming new persons to MSC, to serve as resource persons and to create improved conditions for HispanoChicano students in dealing with their needs, Ms. Ortega said. Miera announced the awarding of the second scholarship given by the Hispanic Faculty Staff ~ociatiOTi. David R. Garcia,a senior in t 11e Pr~ fessional Pilot Program is the spnng recipient- of the award. · Scholarships will be offei::ed twice a year for qualifying Chicanos. An applicant must have completed 12 hours at MSC, be degree seeking, have a GPA of 3.0, be involved in the community, and be a recipient of special awards. The HFSA Scholarship Fund has no corporate sponsorship. They have raised funds with bake sales, raffles, and begging. A raffle for a ten-speed bike is planned as part of the Spring Fest Activities. Tickets are $1. Betty Soneff
