Endangered but not extinct

MSC faculty have a big beef with how the administration is cutting the pie.

by Lisa Dell'Amore

The MSC department of Afro-American Studies this week announced an inc re as e in enrollment despite poor registration in the past. The reason for the increase, said Akbarali Thobhani, chairman of the department, is the crosslisting of Afro-American Studies classes with MSO history and political science classes. According to Thobhani, eight students majoring in history enrolled in the course, Readings of African History, this past summer. In addition, twenty-two students majoring in political science registered for the course, South African Politics, also offered over the summer. "Cross-listing does help," Thobhani said. "The classes are offered as AfroAm eri can studies classes but students can also get credit for those classes in history and political science."

"We try to,,diversify as much as we can. - Akbarali Thobhani

Through cross-listing, students are able to take different courses through their major or minor departments that ordinarily are not offered. According to Dr. Stephen Leonard, charrman of MSC's history department, crosslisting provides a greater opportunity of increasing class enrollment in Afro-American Studies. "Actually, these courses have a lot of academic importance," he said, "and by broadening their advertising through the catalog, they're able to attract more students who will benefit from these courses." Dr. Jett Conner, MSC political science chairman, explained that cross-listing benefits both his department Continued on page '4

Morale among MSC faculty may be at an all-time low due to a 5.4 percent ceiling on faculty pay raises imposed by the legislature, smaller than expected merit pay increases, and an ·ongoing controversy revolving around large "salary adjustments" for administrative persdnnel. "The problem has fostered a strong sense of outrage among the faculty," said MSC History teacher Brooks Van Everen. MSC President Richard Fontera is currently working on a plan that might mean more equitable pay raises for full-time faculty, but, according to Van Everen, there is skepticism among faculty that the pay raises will be granted. Van Everen said that $150,000 was set aside by the Legislature for the raises, but that an acceptable adjustment plan must be drafted ·continued on page 3

MSC Histo,.Y Professor Brooks Van Everen says salary problems have fostered "a strong sense of outr_ age among the faculty."

While I assume MSC's Financial Management believes Its own rationale for creaming off higher Increases for financial ad-· ministration Is sound (trying to have comparible pay to those outside higher education) and Is for the good of the institution, I am extremely uncomfortable seeing the managers of the money put the Increase first Into their own salaries and out of proportion to increases given to faculty.

as well as the Afro-American Studies department. "Students are given an opportunity to gain an exposure to other faculty besides those of us who teach in political science," he said. Unfortunately, Thobhani explained, not all MSC . departments are interested in cross-listing. "There is a big fear that cross-listing is an invasion of territory in some departments," he said. In order to overcome this "fear", Thobhani explained, some departments first need to become comfortable with cross-listing. MSC psychology department chairman Dr. Edward Karnes said that cross-listing is not offered through his department because it makes things more complicated. "Cross-listing is an odd thing," he said.

In the meantime, full time faculty may count their bl~ ings as part time faculty, who ·actually outnumber full time teachers, enter their fifth year without a pay raise of any kind. "Many of the part time people are very discouraged," said Spradley. "They haven't had a pay raise in five years, and they're a little bitter." . Although "Nobody has .threatened to pull up stakes and move on," said Spradley, "as far as the money is concerned, they (part time faculty) have become increasingly disappointed.

So Menzell went job hunting, finally finding an open slot at the University of South F1orida, where he'll start this December. Menzell is just one of thousands of college teachers who are trying to escape severe morale problems caused by wage freezes and low budgets on campus. · No one knows exactly bow many teachers are moving. Estimates range from 30,000 to 100,000. Most likely to move are the roughly 100,000 non-tenured teachers now working on U.S. campuses, says Irving Spitzberg, retiring head of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

Spitzberg says he can't even estimate how many tenured professors are preparing to leave. "I don't think anybody can give you a number," adds Victor Stone, AAUP president in Illinois and a law professor at the University of Illinios. "I do know the numbers are large." " However many there are, no one disputes the reasons they are moving.

Faculty members, says Spitzberg, are simply "tired of hard times .on campus." Those hard times often translate into salary freezes, increased worlcloads, and even prohibitions from cashshort schools against buying needed material for class work. "We are havjng terrible problems" holding teachers on campus, reports Margaret Schmid, president of the University of Nevada-Las

sities and Land Grant Colleges. But most dissatisfied teachers prefer more quietly moving on to other, more bountiful areas. The reason is that "facuJty salaries are so far behind the rising cost of living," explains Alfred Sumberg of the AAUP. During 1982-83, independent college faculty members earned an average $28,680, compared to $27 ,860 at public schools, the AAUP says. "People in high demand areas 'Yill go where the money is," note UNLV's Mori. And will flee the places in which they're unhappy.

Let's get out .of the realm of generic utopias and barroom philosophy for a moment and talk about a specific future of specific concern to everybody: this campus. Like me, you may have been attending this ~ampus thinking that what you see here is pretty much what's going to be here in 10 or 20 years. And, if you'r-e the speculative type, you. may have let your mind wander away from some boring text to consider the small, cosmetic changes in the future - when the little·saplings have. grown into towering trees, the lands caped flora bursts up in huge pillows, forever hiding the foundations of the buildings - and maybe even a little bit of ivy will crawl llp the walls in a true collegiate fashion. Having got that far, you may also have wondered what the facilities ... themselves will look like after they have been ravaged by time and a merciless student body. Sitting in one of the student lounges, it may have occurred to you that the interiors of this campus are already kind of ugly, and that time will certainly show on them poorly. Sitting on the lawn of the Student Center, you may shudder when you consider the enormous amount of work it would take to paint the library. But the future holds more, much, much more for this campus than1 plant life and peeling paint. Wha.t you see here in no way resembles what may be here in. 20 years. The changes coming to this campus, even over the next decade, are mind-boggling. First, as you may know, UCD will be ending its exile across Speer Boulevard and occupying a new building to be constructed in parking lot Q. What this means to you is, 1. If you are a UCD student, you will n~w be able to get to all parts of the campus without having t9 pack a tent and a sleeping bag, 2. 425students will no longer be able to park in Lot Q, making everyone's parking problems a lot harder, and 3 . the entire campus will benefit from a feeling of cohesiveness that is badly needed. In addition to those effects, you would do well to consider the effect it may (or may not) have on your wallet. Students at all three schools may be asked to help finance the new UCD facility by footing an additional bond fee. · ' Second, as you may also know, the Tivoli Brewery shopping mall is supposed to open next fall. There will be new restaurants, bars, bookstores, and who - knows what else over there, all competing for the dollars of 33,000 students. That will be a great convenience, but we'll also lt>se another 616 parking spaces, which will be a great inconvenience.' A little further down the road, the weight of academic and administrative support for the eventual creation of a Center for Public Policy fairly guarantees that it will come. The tacit support of AHEC certainly doesn't hurt its chances, either. That means more prestige for this campus, and possibly even new programs or other opportunities. Also, there go more parking spa~ do~n the tubes. With all of those parking spaces gone... something along the lines of the proposed RTD people-mover from Mile High Staclium to the campus will be desperately needed. As with all products and s~rvices with a patrqnage that has n<? optioi:i.s, you can expect the people mover to be expensive. However, the • -+-- • ...

Other, unforeseen changes will certainly develop. It's only a matter of time before realtors redline the Westside neighborhood and the whole thing goes over to urban renewal. Denver's core area is desperate for ~omeplace to grow besides up, and no neighborhood, residential or industrial, is safe from the wrecking ball. It's even possible, though perhaps not probable, that Lawrence Street could be turned into a walking mall, or .at least closed as a major throughway to commuters. At the very least, it is an extremely pleasant pipe 'dream. Finally, and most importantly, you should keep in mind that the power struggles between the four powers on campus (although AHEC does not want you to think of them as a power on campus, they obviously are) and the power struggles between other, bigger political entities in this state, are ongoing, and have profound implications for the future of this campus. One continually resurfacing issue is consolidation of the schools into a single institution: Forces supporting such a ~onsolidation and the forces opposing it are right now conducting all of the bureaucratic battles that will someday decide what kind of campus this is. Such a consolidation would irreparably damage the eclectic character of this campus, and would also most likely diminish the multitude of choice you now bave in programs and degrees. On the other hand; i~ would make us the largest school in the state, and one of the largest schools in the country _ a power to be recJwned with. People would no longer say "Auraria _where's that?" · Such a consolidation would be likely to bring our reputation up to the same level as our actual performance. Imagine an employer in New York saying "Auraria - isn't that the innovative urban school I saw in Time magazine?" But whether such a consolidation would be good or not may be beside the point. Many bureaucrats and politicians are already treating an eventual consolidation as a given, and are maneuvering on behalf of their own interests, to see that they get a sufficient piece of pie, or even the whole pie. What that means to you as a student is important. The character of the Auraria Campus is very much dependent on the vision of the future held by whoever holds the reigns of power. What will happen to the open door policy? What will happen to the excellent two-year programs at DACC? Will we continue to emphasize opportunities for working adults, or will we refocus on more traditional students, wit~ our own housing and football team? The campus gets younger every year, and a campus Homecoming Queen is not nearly· as far-fetched as it sounds. What is the future of the Aurarja Campus? To some degree, it would appear to be out of our hands. But frequently, if not always, we will be asked for our input on what that future should be. Moveover, as distasteful as being an active, politically-minded student may be to you, we have the potential powe.r to force cbanges or the lack thereof, simply by making our voices heard. In the past, the institutions of th"is campus have so;rietirnes been polite enough to ask uS'what we want, but with so many Machiavellian-types being drawn into our arena, we can't count on such gentlemanly conduct in the future. If there are things you would like to see come to this campus, you will have to make your opinion known, whether anyone asks you or hot. The future, for better or worse, is dependent on what we do now. 0 • ?

ASMSC President bids farewell ,.

1\18(1 ( jc)\e11n i 1e1 it lle1)()rt

This past summer, certain members of our student government had expressed an interest in my plans to resign. At that time I informed them that it would be in the best interest of the students that I wait until the fall semester to announce my resignation. As we all know, the enrollment is highest and there would be a wider selection of students to draw upon, to fill the many positions that will become vacant upon my resignation, effective Friday, September 16, 1983. It is my belief that in order for any administration to be effective, there must be a smooth and unaltered transition from one 41dministration to the next After receiving my degree this August, I made the transition my first priority. In looking retrospectively on the past year of the Johnson Administration, I reflect on some of our major goals and accomplishments in which we attained: 1. The defeat of H .B. 1510; 2. The reorganization of student activities; 3. The C.O.P.l.R.G. referrendum; 4. The bettering of the working relations with U.C.D. and c :C.D. and 5. The positive relationship with the M.S.C. administration. One cannot consider these accomplishments to be anything but major when you consider the bureaucratic dilemma that one is faced with as an administrator. It is my belief that the greatness of any society, culture or institution can be attributed to its people who meet the challenges that confront them. When looking at Metro, in order to meet the challenges of the future, students and administrators will have to view the situation from a different perspective. Some

of the challenges will be the expansion of the Auraria campus, the prediction of . the cyclical job market in which to direct academia and the evident decrease in minority enrollment. Ironidally, I feel confident and have faith that these . challenges and others will be met. Students, you can and should be proud of your student government leaders. They have expended tremendous time and effort to address your needs and problems as many of you know. If you have any problems or questions, you should take the time to address your issues with your S.G . representatives. On the other .hand, take the time to meet and commend for a job well done. Since this is my last address, I think it is appropriate to bring to light some commonly held misnomers. It is often believed that A.H .E .C. is the ruthless giant that dabbles in everyone's business without tending to their own. Based solely on my experience over the past four years, Executive Director Jerry Wartgow is placed in an unworthy, negative position. Let me give you the-picture. A.H.E .C. was created by the state legislature to serve as the landlord for the three institutions. Quite often, A.H .E .C. serves as an arbitrator when problems arise between the three institutions which my observation has proven to be the rule, not the exception. As an administrator myself, I can identify with the problems of A.H.E.C. My suggestion to you as students, is that if you have a problem, call them or your student government. President Fontera must be commended for his valor in dealing with the many political problems he inherited since becoming President at the college. I believe, should he weather the storm of time, Metro and the community will benefit greatly from his experience and stability. , Students, when the time comes for you to graduate, I hope that you too will be as proud as I was to have graduated from Metropolitan State College. On a final note, Brendan Kelly will be serving as interim President until the next elections. I am confident he will repr~ent your interests well, as he has proven so in the past. I wish you) all well. Respectfully Michael Johnson President A.S.M.S.C.

ASSISTANT EDITORS

Thank you for Melanie Dqwn's September 7 feature on Amnesty Interna• tional. I hope Ms. Downs' thoughtful and articulate comments interest prospective students to join, as I have currently done. There's a tremendous pool of untapped dynamic energy in the Auraria student population, which can surely be used in transforming the leadership of our Denver chapter. Education is mor11 than an impressive academic record or a Mensa IQ. The truest character of education is the inner developmental personhood of EQ - the emotional quotient of commitment through the oourage of caring and the compassionate hands stretching through barbed wires to liberate a human spirit. Amnesty International - ordinary people doing the extra-ordinary. Theirs is not an impossible dream, but many voices in one, proudly and passionately, saying YES to humanity. Come join Amnesty International Group 60 the second Tuesday of each month at the Shalom House, 1361 Detroit St. at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully, Lee Carrillo

n December 1979 the NATO nations agreed to modernize the nuclear arsenal of Western Europe by deploying US cruise and Pershing II missiles. With that decision, the peace movement in Western Europe faced a specific goal - stop the deployment. The various gi:oups in the movement grew in number and influence, notably Britain's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and West Ger-

many's Green Party. Still, the missiles are to be deployed this December, and there is no reason to believe that they will not be. CND and the Greens are at the vanguard of the movement, Both are .well organized and well publicized, the Greens even holding seats in the West German Parliament. Both come from a coalition of peace, environmental and feminist groups. This coalition is the source of the movement's vitality but it is IJ}so the target of most external and internal criticism. The people in the European peace movement range from those who began anti-nuclear cam. paigns after Hiroshima to university students who live illegally in the condemned buildings of West Berlin. In student sections of the major cities of Europe, posters hang in apartment windows announcing the upcoming October demonstrations. The Greens in particular have strong support from active, voting students.

Three basic assumptions underlie the movement's

efforts agains deployment:

The central problem is militarism in any form. 2. Social defense, such as Gandhi's plan of nonviolent resistance for India during World War II, is more effective than militarv de-

I T

fense,

3. Success of the peace movement in the West will bolster similar efforts in the East. Of crourse, none of these assumptions are accepted by the present governments of Britain, C,ermany or the United States. This year the governments of Britqin and Cermany were resoundingly reaffirmed in elections. This was a severe blow tothe peace movement at a cruiial time. It appears drat economic ooncerns are still uppermost in people's minds, and there is still faith ln the solirtions offered bv the

_governm€nts, solutions which have changed'very little and solved very little. The movement must ad'dress issues other thgn disarmament to be successful

in thb political arena. The lack of an economic stanc€ is at the root of the movement's dismal elpc-

tion failures,

The Greens did not address unemployment or Iabor problems until January, and at that time attacked the welfare state. In this wav thev have alienated themselves from the working class, traditional supporters of the left wing parties. There is a great fear in Germany that the Greens and SPD (Social Democratic Partv) will take votes from each other, leaving the 'CDU (Christian Democratic Party) in control. This has happened in the past, but the rift may increase if the Greers gain more votes. Already there is talk of a coalition of the Greens and SPD: vyhich would mean a tamer Green party. The Creens are resisting the idea, for now. In an attempt to remove the issue of nuclear disarmament from the issues that surround the world balance of power, the peace groups ht:ve begun to explore the option of non-nuclear defense, but much more work is needed. The Bradford

University School of Peace Studies in Britain has prepared a paper entitled DeJence Without OJJence, and it is being enthusiastically received by the movement in Britain. This may signal the beginning of a more mature peace movement,

The greatest problem facing the peace movement underlies these other problems. There is often an inability to face things as they are. The whole story of their resistance to the missile deployment is a study in protest by lote. There has been little innovation in method and little sea'rching for new truth. Only , now are they acknowledging the lack of discipline 'which has probably caused their failureron the missile issue. They lack the ability and perhaps the assess I situation as shrewdly as Gandhi did. They have forgotten the lessons learned by the socialists of tlie 1930's and the anti-war and ant! racism protestors of the 1960's.

desire.to

There is also a lack of genuine understanding bet-

ween the American and Eurotrrean movements, There is a basic belief in America that freedom is more important than peace. Europeans, including the Russians, do not agree to thishs readily. There is also the feeling of American occupation, which is

felt by all Europeans. The American military

presence is everywhere, and most American servicemen are not interested in being ambassadors 6f good will. The frustrations of life in a foreign country are taken out on the native Europeans constantly. In Germany the strain is especially obvibus. The missile deployment issue has roots in European feeling of American occuiration. Many feel that theU.S. forced the NATO allies into the decision. Now the countries have no legal appeal. The United States has shown more respect for its o*n states than for the nations bf Europe. For example, Wyoming could refuse further missile deployment

on its soil, but England cannot. This last issue is perhaps the greatest 'gulf between America and Europe. At an Edinburgh meeting a 20-year veteran of the Scottish movement said to a visiting representative of the American nucleai freea

t movement, a student, 'If you succeed, the battle is over. If we succd, it's only begun," A different movement, less focused, will emerge in 1984. The Cruise and Pershing II will no longer be there, whether or not the movement succ€eds, and the disparity of the movement will become more apparent, unless a new issue presents itself. There is a growing feeling in the movement that their first great battle, against the: US missile

dqrloyment, has failed. There is talk of more disciplined training in non-violence, founded in Gandhi's Satyagraha method. If the movement does embrace this method, it may have the unifying idea it needs. Membe.tshlp would initially decrease, but the moral force bf the movement would increase, leading to a greater sympathy for the movement among the general publi,c. This moral force was the central principle in Gandhi's method. It may be essential for any non-violent movement to succeed.

j l

A long night in Fdinburgh It was an incredible contrast to thi ages. Below St. ]ohns'Church was tbe Cornerstone Coffeehouse, a natural food cafe that resembled some dark cellar out of Dickens. Above the church, Edinburgh Castle sprawled along its granite foundation, an eerily illuminated reminder of Scotland's ferocious military past.

Inside the c.,offeehouse, representatives of Edinburgh's peace movement gathered for their August meeting. A long and busy summer of actMty was ending, and, with it, perhaps the one hope that had kept the energy flowing over dre last four years. The chalkboard at one end of the circle of chairs displayed the agenda for the evening. On the top of the list was the magic date: October 22, a final, and hopefully massive, protest against the deployment of Cruisd and Pershing II missiles in Europe. the October demonstration was the responsibility of the people who belonged to the Campaigrr for Nuclear Disarmament, many of whom were college students. They expressed their concern over effective publicity for the protest. They asked ttre members of all the groups to display the movement's lrsters throughout the city. The chairman took the floor to redirect the energy of the meeting. Although tte demonstration was important, he felt that there were some other issues that needed to be dealt ri'ith immediately. Thixe two topics were also scrawled onto the chalkboard: Unlimited Fasts and Civil Disobedience.

One.member of the group was considering joining the fast. Four Americans and four French were already fasting, but it was becoming clear that moie would be needed to have any effect. The man who spoke up was concerned that the fast would be a hopeless gesture, and that additional fasters would only cheapen the effect of the protest in the eyes of the public. Another man worried that the Irish Republican Army's prison fasts had already made the method unusable in England. To many in the audience, fasting seemed to be too passive and too hopeless a method of protest. The dternative, massive civil disobedienoe, was brought up by a longstanding veteran of the peace movement, who had been active since the early 1960's. He had sent a letter to leaders of the British p€aoe movement, suggesting that civil disobedience was the only dternativd, and calling for an immediate decision on the matter. There was a sense of desperation as he addressed the group. "These missiles must not comel" But, without great numbers of protestors, there was a feeling .$at civil disobedience would also fail. As one person said: "If we get a few of the most willing and well-trained people and they protest non-violently, tbere will still be martyrs and no change. The missiles will come. They are going to come." It was tbe first time the grim reality had been spoken. Everyone stared at the floor for a time. Finally, someone suggested that the thing to do was to begin planning now for the next election. In addition, a much-needed training pr6 gram. in non-violent protest would be$n as soon as instructors could be found, As they left the meeting, there was a feeling of relief. It was probably true that missiles would ctme, but they could be$n now to plan for the aftermath of their defeat, Oddly bnough, thev seemed to hold hope for our fiiture.

Optimism in."Megatrends" Talking about the future has always appeared to us a rather pointless, rather poetic kind of activity. "Que sera, sera," we say, "what will be will be." From the beginning of recorded history, mankind has dealt with the future as a · dark certainty, as if we were all stranded in a railroad tunnel, waiting for the 5:09. At least as far back as the Greek play Agamemnon, and probably a lot longer, we have been treating our viionaries and prophets as if they were permanently out to lunch. We humor them. We-listen to them patiently, and then go about our business as if nothing happened. The results of such behavior are well documented: Agamemnon, got shish-kebobbed in his own bathtub because he didn't listen to Cassandra. He didn't listen because to him (practical man that he was), Cassandra seemed just a bit flitlcy. Why worry about what can't be changed? The combined forces of God and the gQ.vernment have always left us feeling a little helpless to altel' the future. And, to make matters worse, visionaries have a long history of not-being ·able to clue us .,in on the

Elvis · ·costell.o: poignant poet cranks •em out by Jack

~eek

Britain's best balladeer graced Boulder's CU Event Center Monday night in Feyline's Fall season opener. One thing is for sure, Elvis Costello hasn't lost his touch. Costello, backed by The Attractions' Steve Nieve on Keyboards, Bruce Thomas on bass, drummer Pete Thomas

September 14, 1983

and a punchy horn section, pr0Ce€·d ed to belt out his best. Unfortunately, the boomy acoustics of the half-empty Events Center swallowed up those poignant- lyrics for which Costello is so respected. From his opening solo ballads to his four encore finale, Costello gave the youthful Boulder audience their money's worth. With classics such as Watching The Detectives, Red Shoes and Less Than Zero, to that soulsearchi ng masterpiece, Allison. Since Costello first happened on the music scene in '77 with My Aim is True, h~ has shown that as a songwriter he is truly one of rock's most articulate and prolific. _ His new album Punch The Clock shows Costello at his finest. Every Day (I Write The Book) follows in the footsteps of his -0ther great works and is guaranteed a spot on the chart. One should never underestimate Costello's ability to crank out a good tune almost effortlessly. At a time when there seem to be fewer truly interesting or worthwhile lyricists than ever, Elvis Costello remains 0 virtually untouchable.

Sorry super jocks, playtime is over

by Tony Patino

This week fans, we're-going to discuss putting the word student back into the phrase "student athletes."

What the NCAA has finally gotten around to doing is what deans and professors have been screaming about for the last few years; get kids in school for the real reason they're sent there --an education. The bad news is the new proposition won't go into effect until 1986. The good news is that the days of the four letter, 6'6", 270 lb . lineman, who can't sharpen a pencil without a tutor's help, are numbered.

wouldn't be able to read it. Fortunately, this athletes' story has a happy ending, or at least a promising one. He re-enrolled himself in grade school and is starting over. In our State of Colorado, the bigger schools aren!t wasting any time -in complying with the new proposal. I spoke with William H. Baughn, CU's Faculty Representative to the BigEight Conference and NCAA. He expl~ined to me that CU's position is clear cut and definitely favors the new proposition. "We feel that anyone who doesn't meet the requirements of Proposition 48, doesn't stand a chance in our school," he said. "Students should have a strong background in solid subjects." So, any of you aspiring col· legiate athletes looking for scholarships had better glue yourselves to the books and burn ·the midnight oil. The days of the dumb jock are diminishing fast. Until next week, I bid you adieu. D

The NCAA wins this week's Tony Award for developing Proposition 48, aimed directly at Division I colleges. In a nutshell, this proposition says that all high-school. athletes looking for the wellknown "free-ride" better have done their high-school homework. Homework to the tune of 11 credit hours of solid subjects such as history, english, science, math, etc. So much for football-lacing 101.

It's actually disgusting to look around and see athletes with diplomas alarmingly outnumbered by athletes who still have trouble readin11:· " "The Cat in the Hat." You may think that this is an exaggeration, but it really isn't . . There's a well documented story about a Creighton University basketball player who was going to school on a full scholarship and could barely read or write.

Wild Life Guidebook Most people consider skydiving a pretty Wild & Crazy thing to do and generally only take it up after a bout of drunkenness or the surfacing of a long-dormant psychological aberration their grandmother always knew they had. Among college students, however, the urge to skydive seems directly ass~iated. with the appearance of multiple syllabi "Since skydiving centers report more instruction business at the beginning of the fall semester than any other time. As with most risk sports, there is a commonly held view among non-participants that the only thing between a skydiver and the Grim Reaper is Lady Luck. In truth, however, the only thing between a skydiver and next weekend is Mwph_y"s Law. Known by skydivers as "brainlock", this malady accounts for the majority of people who "bounce", or die-by-impact, each year. But, given that 40,000-50,000 divers make several million jumps per year, this is a low probability-of-death factor. The real killers are old airplanes. In the last couple of years 36 people have died in crashes of World War II-era heavy twins. Beginning jumpers usually get better planes, so the risks are pretty minimal when you start. Parachutists known as "skygods" are the ~ain thing to watch out for. These individuals usually have co)npleted over 1,000 jumps and have a firm belief that skydiving is a direct reflection of personal worth. They also hold their noses in the air when there's nothing to look at, offer authoritative opinions on subjects they know nothing about and sneer at anyone they suspect to be a skydiving "student." Quite naturally, many beginners get sick of that and give up the sport. Fortunately, however, some of the nicest and most interesting people are into skydiving and, if you seek them out, you'll soon be enjoying one of the world's most intriguing sports.
