Student Activities:

Goodbye card catalog, Hello PAC

assistant director resigns, position open The MSC Student Activities Office is searching for a new Student Assistant D.irector following the resignation of the appointed assistant director on Wednesday. The resignation comes as yet another blow to the MSC Student Activities Office, which has suffered a series of problems since it was reorganized this summer. The Assistant Director, Mike Maggard, was one of six students appointed to help run the Student Activities program this summer. Earlier this year, he told The Metropolitan "All things considered, I think we're doing a damn good job." Maggard resigned following his withdrawal from classes this semester. When contacted by The Metropolitan, Maggard declined to comment on the reasons for his withdrawal or his subsequent resignation from Student Activities. According to Gina Johnson, Director of Student Activities, plans are being made to fill the position as soon as possible. "We've got to fill the position - because it's a vital one and I need that person," Johnson said. "At this point, I'm not quite sure how to do it."

PAC is coming to Auraria's Library. PAC, Public Access Catalog, is an electronic card catalog and will make your present card catalog skills obsolete. A prototype PAC on the main floor of the library has received positive ratings from students. Twelve more terminals are due for service by Oct. 7th. About the same time the seven Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL) are also expected to be loaded into PAC. As one delighted MSC student said: "The program is enjoyable. It really beats the heck out of the card catalog and speeds things up. And the people here are exceedingly helpful." Dan, a UCO student, is a three time user. "It's very easy to use because it's interactive and it is menu driven, which means it gives you help along the way be giving instructions. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't have a printer." Allen, also a UCO student, found it to be an efficient way to browse. But many students either don't know PAC is available or haven't had the time to sit down and learn it. A study of how students use the card catalog indicated that initially at least, twelve terminals would be sufficient to handle the demand. Ms. Carol Robinson, assistant to the director at the Auraria Library, explained, "There will be a couple of express terminals for patrons who know the book they want, can punch it in, get the call number and be done. For the other terminals there will be time limit if someone else is waiting. If that doesn't work we'll order more terminals as we can afford them." According to Robinson, there are seven research continued on page 9

Carol Robinson, and the first of 14 Public Access Catalogue computers.

The main difficulty in filling the position, Johnson said, is to devise a plan to pay the new employee. The six student coordinators, including Maggard, were paid tuition and fees. Since a new appointment would be selected from current students, (who had already paid their tuition) an alternative payment would have to be found, Johnson said. The assistant director oversees the work of the coordinators and the overall expenditures, as well as helping out whenever possible. Until a new assistant director is found, Johnson said life would be more difficult for everyone in Student Activities. "I think it's going to be a problem, because the position is so vital," Johnson said. "I really view the position as my right hand." 0

lake Back the Night' Inarch highlights rape awar~ri~ activities by T.J. Williams "However we dress, wherever we go yes means yes and no means no," were the words chanted by approximately 1,000 people who participated in the Take Back the Night march which was part of this weekend's rape awareness demonstration. Included in the crowd was the Vice Chairperson of the Associated Students of the University of Colorado, at Denver, Frances Sgarlatti. These events began Friday with the Third Annual Ending Violence Effectively (EVE) Open House at 1629 York St. The purpose of this group's merriment was to celebrate its third year of helping rape victims, to commemorate the extension of its office and to show its appreciation for those who have helped in making it become a successful organization in such a small span of time. The group offers counseling services to rape victims in both private and group sessions

at prices based upon the income of the victim. The excitement progressed to Saturday's Take Back the Night march which was sponsored by the Rape Assistance and Awareness Program (RAAP}. This journey from the west side of the Capitol to Ogden St. up to 13th St. and back to the Capitol to Ogden St. up to 13th St. and back to the Capitol served a dual purpose. First, to express the collective outrage against all forms of violence against women and secondly, to advise participants that help is available for rape victims. This group is also responsible for the Denver Crisis Hotline for rape victims. The number is 430-5656. The enjoyment came to a close with Sunday's Second Annual Rape-victim Assistance Funding Team (RAFT) fund raiser. The money raised in this event will go towards helping to pay for the medical, therapeutical and legal ex-

penses that some rape victims must pay. It is very important to understand that RAFT is a supplemental group, said Sgarlatti. It can help the victim, but because of its limited funds it cannot pay the total 路 cost. One of the groups that it supplements is the state's victim compensation program. But, according to Sgarlatti, the rules that goverl') the state program make it harder for the victim to receive aid. Probably the most disturbing of those rules is the one that does not allow any rape victim that was sexually abused before July 1, 1982 to receive compensation. RAFT has different concepts. "RAFT believes that even if a person was raped a year ago, she can get help," Sgarlatti said. For more information on rape awareness, contact RAFT at 329-9922 or EVE at 322-7010. 0

Jesse Jackson gets strong student support (CPS)--If the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson decides to run for president next year, there may be no better place·to announce it than any one of the nation's 114 ,. historically-black colleges. At the nation's largest black campus, the University of the District of Columbia, for example, "I can guarantee you that 90-to-99 percent of the students would vote for him," promises Warren Green, president of UDC's student government.

Nowhere, moreover, has student participation in presidential politics been thinner than on black campuses. But things have changed. Just last week, for instance: . At Southern University in Baton Rouge, student Vice President Myron Hubbard led an effort that included the Isley Brothers concert, shuttle buses and candlelight parades. In the end, it helped register some 5,000 students to vote, well over half the university's student body. At Xavier University in New Orleans, the week included voter registration block parties, lapel stickers, a "second line parade" - and old New Orleans custom in which revelers march in a raucous parade with a band - and radio Chicago headquarters, will try to register a "rainbow" of black, Hispanic, and disk jockeys offering prizes to people who registered. white students. "We're really going to pump it," promises Craig Shelton, Xavier student Jackson, who has coyly turned away questions about his candidacy, is bound president and head of the National Organization of Black College and Universito leave students hanging during his tour.

"There's a power in knowing we elected a black major just recently," Shelton believes Jackson's appeal is broad. "He's talking in terms of oppressed Southern Hubbard explains.

"We figure we'll get people to sign up while everybody's relaxed and having fun," reasons Student President Reginald Blount. To build a fire under them, Blount also brought in Dr. Arthur Thomas of Central State in Wilberforce, Ohio, to speak about "Why A Black Should Run For President." Thomas is also a member of Rev. Jackson's support committee. But much of last week's fervor and the events planned for coming months are for the idea of a black candidacy, regardless of who the eventual candidate might be. Students also mentioned Georgia State Senator Julian Bond, Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and Washington, D.C. House Delegate Walter Fauntroy as candidates.

Of all the world's weapons, the nuclear ones are the most difficult to accept. The failure of the United States and Soviet Union to halt nuclear competition at a point where it could have easily been halted, cannot be understood or justified by human reason. From the beginning, it should have been obvious to our leaders that the pursuit of a nuclear strategy was senseless. What good, they should have asked, can possibly come from a "defensive" weapon which cannot be counteracted by defensive measures? How, they might have pondered, can we judge these weapons to be in the interest of our national security, when they pose the greater danger to such security? Secretary of War Henry Stimson - the man who delivered the atomic bomb from the hands of our scientists to the generals - forewarned us of the arms race and argued that the best chance we had to avoid it was to set aside our pride and fear and share our atomic knowledge with Russia. He wasn't fooling himself, or America. The Russians would go nuclear whether we worked with them or against them. Our leaders had to make an historically critical decision. The choice was cooperation or competition, trust or no trust. There were no options. The decision to not cooperate with the Russians - to launch an arms race instead - was made by men who refused to consider the moral implications of their choice. "Upon us," Stimson said, "as the people who first harnessed and made use of

this force, thereJests a grave and continuing responsibility for leadership, turning it toward life1 not death." Randall Forsberg, Director of the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies, scoped-out the dimension of our deadly dilemma: " The effect of even a limited counterforce exchange between the two superpowers, with nuclear warheads directed against the nuclear forces of the op- #. p9sing side, has been calculated to be between three and twenty million dead in the United States and a like number in the USSR, simply from downwind fallout of the explosions on missile sites. This is the most easily predictable effect . No one has the faintest notion of what would happen to the global ecology if 4000-8000 nuclear weapons were exploded in a very short space of time. The ozone layer would be blown away. The fallout would increase the background level of radiation and darken the sky worldwide. Tremendous firestorms would be created . These things, combined, would create changes in the world's climate which could be cumulative and synergistic." Regardless of the origin of the arms race or the motives for continuing it, one point cannot be overemphasized - we must convince our leaders. Eric Fromm, an early observer of the Cold War, left us with this message: "There is no tragedy or sacrifice in irresponsibility and carelessness. There is no meaning or dignity in the idea of the destruction of mankind and civilization. Man has in himself a potential for evil; his whole existence is beset by dichotomies rooted in the very conditions of his existence. But these truly tragic aspects must not be confused with the results of stupidity and lack of imagination, with the willingness to stake the future of mankind on a gamble." Proponents of the arms race must come to understand that the people of the earth do not wish to die in a nuclear holocaust. Our leaders must understand that the arms race is their responsibility and that the world awaits their solution. D

Preparing for the future is in many ways similar to preparing for a trip to outer Mongolia. What do you pack? Is it cold in outer Mongolia, or what? Do you leave behind your L.L. Bean desert boots, or your riding breeches? The matter is complicated by the length of your stay. Forgetting your toothbrush would be unfortunate and inconvenient on a two-week visit, but, if toothbrushes can't be bought in outer Mongolia, not packing a couple dozen would be a serious mistake if you were going to live there. That is the crux of the problem: none of us will be guests in the Hotel Future. We are all immigrants, leaving the comfort and security of the past for terraincognita. There is no going back. Maps would help, but there are no intrepid Lewises and Clarks who have braved the wilds and returned to tell us what is out there. We must rely only on explorers of the minq, who extrapolate the future from the general momentum of the past and the present. This is something akin to路extrapolating Denver based on the sensory information available while locked in the john of the Tabor Bar in Morrison. Studying the future is presumptuous as hell. It is a great irony: without benefit of an advance guard, we must all be the Lewises and Clarks of the future. So, once again, what do we pack for such a journey? The answer, as any inveterate vagabond will tell you, is as little as possible. Taking our cue from Lewis and Clark, the baggage for the journey should be reduced only to those things that can be used to carve a living from the future itself. In the case of Lewis and Clark, that would have been axes and other tools needed to make boats and shelters, guns for getting food, compasses and common sense for not getting lost, and maybe a little brandy for when the adventure got too unbearable. Doubtless, they foraged for their own toothbrushes and toilet paper, utilizing the environment as they found it. Which brings us to the most important luggage to carry into the future. The most important things Lewis and Clark carried into the Louisiana Purchase were tucked into their hearts and minds. Flexibility. Creativity. Yankee ingenuity. Courage. Those are the skills needed to make the best of whatever you find, wherever you find it. Freedom, that great Amei:ican icon, demands nothing less than an inner source of strength to match any peril. A failure to pay attention to, and conscientiously develop your inner-self will leave you open to any and every political or spiritual demigod who promises you security in exchange for a suspension of your own common sense. Spritual bankruptcy is the most serious threat to our future. There will be no American Express office of the heart when we find our travelers checks have been stolen. Whatever the future holds, I expect to have to improvise my own toothbrushes and toilet paper when I get there. Each of us must compile our own priorities for baggage. Hopefully, no guns will be needed. For myself, I plan to take a couple cans of coffee, a pencil sharpener, and maybe a little brandy. 0

Reader chides dept. s for 'sibling rivalry' Editor: Reading the September 14 article, "Black Studies: Endangered but not Extinct," led me to do some research regarding the opinions cited of two department chairmen who were resistant to the cross-listing process in the schedule catalogs. My findings have brought me to the conclusion that Dr. Thobhani (chairman, Afro-American Studies) was being quite generous in his assessment of this lack of cooperation by describing it as a "fear of invasion of territory." My minority friends have often discusred their opinions that racism has not disappeared, but has changed into a very subtle form . These attitudes displayed by Dr. Edward Karnes (psychology department chairman) and Dr. Robert Gasser (sociology department chairman) have brought me into agreement with these minorities. Dr. Karnes was concerned that he would "run into a lot of problems" determining credit-hour production when cross-listing. In the current MSC Autumn Semester 1983 Class Schedule, the psychology department seemed to be able to overcome enough problems to have a number of its class offerings listed under the department of parenting education (p. 55.). Perhaps speaking to either Dr. Stephen Leonard, chairman of the history department, or Dr. Jett Conner, political science chairman, would help. Dr. Karnes clears up some of his "problems" since both the history department and the political science department find cross-listing a positive arrangement. Your article quoted Dr. Robert Gasser as saying that "his department does not cross-list with any other department 'because it is not the same discipline.'" There are a number of AAS (Afro-American Studies) and CHS (Chicano Studies) classes in the School of Community and Human Services which seem to

relate directly to sociology classes. For example: SOC 315 - Socializaton of the Child - is described in the 1983-84 bulletin as "an intensive study of the family as the matrix of the human personality... an analysis of our social institutions such as the school and their role in child development." AAS 315 - Education of the Black Child - "is designed to develop an awareness of what it is to be Black in this country; how racism has affected education; what this means in terms of education in general and Black children, specifically." CHS 330 is Education of Chicano Children. There are a number of other AAS classes and CHS classes which could also be directly correlated to SOC classes. Frankly, I fail to see how these courses are of another "discipline", as Dr. Gasser has stated. It leads me to wonder what exactly is taught in SOC 317 - Education in Society - " .. . focusing on the goals of education and the relation of education to other societal structures... " I don't understand why Dr. Gasser would not want to promote broader educational opportunities which would be made available through cross-listing. With this type of attitude, I wonder what are his qualifications to teach the goals of education; but, can clearly see his abilities to be a professor of SOC 301 - Sociology of Dominant and Minority Relations: a focus on race and racism. Quite sincerely, I am very tired of all the sibling rivalry that goes on on this campus among faculty, department, and institutions. Isn't it about time to grow out of these selfish, jealous attitudes and start working together as a community to create a positive learning atmosphere for everyone. Elizabeth White

Please, no more 'free' parking in Westside

, . ..

Editor: The West Denver community has in the past experienced encroachment of all kinds. The neighborhood residents have survived poor city planning which philosophy at one time was to demolish instead of preserve, zoning nonconforming to the neighborhood, haphazard business development, and the building of the Auraria Higher Education Complex. This time it is the students attending Auraria choosing to park their vehicles in the Westside neighborhood streets. This might seem like a small problem to most people in the light of more pressing national issues. In spite of what may seem like ~ petty is.rue to some, the fact remains that the downtown parking problem is far from resolved. Just as the McNichols Arena events create a problem for many of the surrounding. residents, the westside neighborhood is also experiencing what residents believe to be a much more severe parking problem. The problem is serious because students park in front of the residents homes all day for six to eight hours a day six days a week. We are not talking about a sprinkle of cars but hundreds lining both sides of the street. There are over twenty square blocks affected, involving hundreds of homes in the westside neighborhood. This problem is not a new one, having been predicted by the Westside Community and organizations opposed to the construction of Auraria at the present location.

At the time there were many concerns about the impact the Auraria complex would have on the remaining neighborhood. In order to locate the campus in the predominantly Hispanic community, problems of adequate compensation for relocating the over 250 families residing in the area had to be overcome. Furthermore, preservation of the institutions that were located in the site were also a point of contention as were traffic patterns to and from the campus. The increase of traffic through the westside streets has not been fully addressed and will not be until the decisions are made regarding future rapid transit systems such as the much discussed light rail system, although the Auraria Higher Education Complex has an obligation to take the initiative in helping to resolve the traffic and parking problems created by them, they seem to be at a loss as to just what would be the solution to these problems and to future downtown traffic congestion caused by them. During the early stages of the Auraria controversy, area residents were assured that their concerns would be addressed and for the most part they have, with the exception of the lingering parking problem. Unfortunately, appeals to the students by the campus administration and the area residents have fallen on deaf ears. Therefore, demands for stricter police enforcement of parking violations is the only alternative for the present time. " Waldo Benavidez Westside resident

Junior sits riveted to his favorite chair, the eerie glow of the television set is the only light in the room. His features fade in and out with the commercial breaks and scene changes. His face is frozen, eyes staring, pupils dilated, mouth hanging open in a near-comatose state. His addiction began before he could even understand the words coming from the set, a toddler transfixed by the hype of commercials. The fix was in. Later on in his life it was early Saturday morning cartoons as an escape from the demanding world of his parents, escalating rapidly into Sesame Street mania, and growing, along with Junior, into half-hour after half-hour of situation comedies and, when he could manage it, lunchtime soap operas. Junior is a bonafied TV freak, withdrawing into the fakeblood world of television to combat the sometimes unsightly real-blood world around him. Junior, now a mature adult, watches even "The Dulces of Hazzard" with total abandon, and his symptoms and behavior somewhat resemble those of a heroin addict. Media fascination, video games, risk, worship, love, sex, overeating, gambling, crime, violence, exercise, work, drugs or alcohol: pick your poison. All of these, and various other activities or ~ubstances are the potential catalysts for addictive behavior, according to Dr. Harvey Milkman and Dr. Stanley Sunderwirth, co-authors of an article entitled "The Chemistry of Craving" to appear in the October issue of "Psychology Today." Dr. Milkman and Dr. Sunderwirth are both on the faculty at Metropolitan State College. Back in 1969, Milkman was doing an internship at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital in New York City where he met up with Dr. William Frosch, who was investigating the question of whether individuals with different drug preferences had corresponding personality types. Intrigued, Milkman joined in on the research to test the idea. Together they observed the patients at Bellevue, and when subjects were scarce at one end of the drug spectrum, they took out an ad in the newspaper which began "Speed Freaks Wanted." With this kind of stern determination, they dug in. The research covered two diverse l!l'OUPS of addicts - heroin users and ~peed freaks ..(The ad paid off.) The effects of the two drugs were extremely opposite. Heroin provided a euphoric and kickedback effect, while amphetamines instilled its user with extra energy and bolstered confidence. By noting the preferred drug of the patient or subject, the two investigators discovered a tendency for individuals to choose a drug that is compatible with the user's personality and manner of dealing with stress. This "drug of choice" concept developed into a working theory. Dr. Millqnan describes the theory as such: "The drug of choice is harmonious with the individual's characteristic way of reducing stress." Surprisingly, the heroin and amphetamine users do not select a substance to balance or normalize themselves. Individuals who choose heroin are usually the type who, by withdrawing from a situation, believe they are coping with it. This coping mechanism is enhanced by the heroin's effect, yielding a further numbing quality for escape. The amphetamine user is the energetic person, utilizing an energizing substance to bolster their own usual manner of handling~.

September 28, 1983

Dr. Stanley Sunderwirth and Dr. Harvey Milkman The result of these studies prompted Dr. Milkman to question other avenues of addiction. He said he had an "Ahal" experience that, in accordance with ?the two varied personality types, an individual "could be on the threshold of abuse prior to ever taking a drug." He found himself on the road to discovery, and at the door of Metropolitan State College psychology department. 路 In Spring 1980, he team-taught a course in ~chizophrenia with Stan Sunderwirth, the dean of science and mathematics, now Vice President of Academic Affairs. Sunderwirth's expertise in the science of the brain and the chemistry of madness were soon to complement Milkman's theories. Dr. Sunderwirth showed relationships between biochemical processes and psychological aspects of ~ersonality. The two men realized that addiction was an ideal subject for the integration of biochemistry and social science. Again - "Ahal" They collaborated, and their efforts culminated into an article published in the July-Sep 80 issue of "The Journal of Psychoactive Drugs" called "Addic1.tive Processes." Their findings incorporated the original discoveries at Bellevue, but expanded into other areas other than drugs. Drugs were not the sole source of addiction, there were Bingo junkies, lottery addicts, and Captain Videos appearing on the scene. Addiction, they surmised, can take many shapes and forms.

In the above-mentioned publication, and now in the October '83 "Psychology Today" article, Milkman and Sunderwirth discuss the intricacies of addiction. They have developed a "unified model" encompassing the three elements they believe contribute to the addictive process: "There are psychological, social, and biochemical aspects to addiction." They agree on a definition of addiction that includes all three of these aspects: "Addiction is self-induced (psychological) changes in neurotransmission (biochemical) which results in problem behaviors (social and personal reaction.)" Milkman and Sunderwirth think that individuals who are likely to become addicted to a drug or activity are influenced by the way they have learned to cope. In accord with their unified model, they have described the three basic coping behaviors which separate the potential addict into distinct groups. The first category of coping comes under the heading "arousal." The speed freak falls (or rushes) into this category. The person prone to arousal activity seeks confrontation with the environment. They need stimulation to overcome a stressful situation, to feel powerful in the face of a powerful society. They may gratify themselves by taking unnecessary risks, committing a crime, or by gambling away their grocery money. In this manner an activity can have the same effect as a stimulant drug.

The tolerance eventually builds up, so that the risk need becomes greater and greater. "Someone who jumps into a cage with a tiger," says Sunderwirth, "and feels gratified by the experience may soon have to jump into a cage with five tigers to achieve the same effect." The heroin addict's coping mechanism is called "satiation." Withdrawal from active confrontation or stimulation, the reversal of the arousal mode of behavior, depicts Junior sitting in hemorroidal distress in the scene at the beginning of the article. Media fascination, overeating, and those activities which provide the user with a gratification not unlike that of a depressant drug. "Fantasy" is the third type of coping style. "The function of fantasy," according to Dr. Milkman, "is to help experiment with problems in living through imagery, to explore alternative solutions and make more adaptive choices." He points out that this can be a healthy behavior, such as rehearsing a job interview in your mind, but taken to the extreme can lead to over-expectations, fanaticism, or stealing quarters for a video game in which one actually believes they are Luke Skywalker blasting the blazes out of the Empire. From drug of choice to activity of choice, the addictive process has taken on new dimensions. One of the dimensions involves the chemistry of the body to 路a dapt to the continuing behavior. Dr. Sunderwirth finds that changes occur within the central nervous system when a person becomes addicted to an activity such as risk-taking. "The body compensates by changing the levels of certain chemicals called enzymes. When the arousal activity is over the enzyme levels are decreased and the individual would need more of the activity to achieve the same state." Five tigers. "When the activity is suddenly ceased, the chemical changes are still present, and when it is no longer possible to continue the activity the individual may enter a state of depression, crash, and the typical reaction is to seek more arousal." The fix. Social attributes to the addictive process are overly abundant in today's highly technological and "I want it NOW!" world. Instant gratification from humdrum living appears in advertising, and an impulse toward immediacy is courted through the computer phenomena. These active forces in the social environment contribute to the deliquency of addiction. Milkman points to the example cigarette advertising puts forth: "It provides the image, implies that you will be the individual in the picture if you buy that particular brand. It is an ideal selfimage fantasy visualization." Alcohol advertising usually suggests upward mobility, drink this and you'll find yourself with this model, or put yourself in the next social class simply by gulping down our brand of booze.

National Addictions Conference corning路 to Auraria .

If your nasal passages have become an endangered species due to extended cocaine use, if your television has become more important and seductive than your spouse, or if you're just interested in the science of addiction, mark your calendar for October 27th, 28th and 29th. On October 27th, Dr. David Smith, founder and director of the Haight-Asbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco, will be giving a free seminar on cocaine addiction. The seminar will begin at 7:30 p. m. at St. Cajetan's Center, Ninth and Lawrence Streets in Denver. Dr. Smith is an internationally known contributor to the understanding and treatment of addictive r).isorders. On October 28th and 29th a national conference on addictions will be held at The Denver Hilton Hotel. The conference, the first of its kind, was organized by Dr. Harvey Milkman, associate professor of psychology at MSC. Entitled "Addictions: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis of Concepts and Tre&ments," the. conference is presented by Metropolitan State College and The Cambridge Hospital's Department of Psychiatry, affiliated with the Harvard Medical School. The biological, psychological, and social characteristics of addiction will be explored by qualified experts in the field. Students can receive one hour of academic credit for attending the conference by signing up for ED 480. Further information regarding Dr. Smith's free seminar on cocaine addiction, and reservations and fees for the addictions conference, can be obtained by writing the MSC Department of Conferences and Seminars, 1006 11th St., Box 6, Room CN 318, Denver, CO 80204, or by calling (303) 629-3115. 路

Zelig: A mutable portrait of the terminally insecure by David T. Gaede One hour and fifteen minutes of bUg is enough. Not because this new movie by Woody Allen is so bad, but because it's so good, different, and intense. Allen (star, director, and writer of the flim) has put together clips from old newsreels - the kind they used to show in movie houses between features - ala Orson Wells' Citizen Kane classic, and mixed it with his own original black and white footage to give us a 75-minute chronicle of the life and death of one Leonard Zelig, "the ultimate conformist." The time: The Roaring '20s. The place: Boston, New York, Paris, Nazi Germany, the Vatican . ... F. Scott Fitzgerald, we are told by the voice-over announcer, notices a little man with spectacles wandering about a gathering of uppercrust Easterners, acting quite aristocratic and speaking with a British accent as he ox-

pounds on the virtues of the Coolridge administration to the guests. But moments later, Fitzgerald notes in his memiors, he notices the same man back in the kitchen chatting with the help in a rather normal American accent, acting very much like the average man on the street as he declares he's been a lifelong Democrat. The same man surfaces in old still photos with heads of state, the elite, and the downtrodden . Always, he seems to blend into his surroundings, indistinguishable until the camera spies him and zooms in on that unmistakable face. At one point, we discover him posing as a black trumpet player in a speakeasy. Soon after, he is apprehended as a Chinese and taken to a hospital for psychiatric observation,

where, naturally , he becomes a doctor of psychiatry. The doctors at the hospital are amazed to discover that their patient can distinguish himself, indeed metamorphize, to resemble anyone around him at any particular point in time . When placed beside fat people, he slow1y becomes obese and jocular. When placed next to an orthodox Jew, he sprouts a beard and long be solved through love and hair. Poor Zelig is poked, prod- attention.

The scene plays over and over on the evening news; a group of leftist terrorists storms a diplomatic post, takes hostage the honchos and hired help, demands TV coverage and some oddball concessions, then dies when the government gets tired of playing games and sends in the commandos to rearrange and architecture and save almost all the hostages . British independent producer Euan Lloyd was living a few houses from the Iranian Embassy in London when this script was reenacted in 1980, and it got him to thinking that the character and impact of terrorist theater was a story which needed to be told. And that's what The Final Option is all about. It examines the question of laundered Russian funds supporting so-called "peace groups" and the idiot the dialectic they espouse, machinations of democracies confronted by terrorism and the deadly skill of the highly trained anti-terrorist units available to them for quashing these annoying and periodically bloody affronts to the status q u 0.

CU wins two in,-a-row; watch out Nebraska

by Tony Patino I can't believe it! There hasn't been anything like it in Boulder since 1979. CU has won two straight (yessiree Bob, you read it right). This past Saturday CU stepped on the carpet at Folsom Field and faced an eager Oregon State team. When the fireworks subsided, CU found itself with a 38-14 victory. Now you're probably sitting out there wonderiniz. " So what's the big deal, the Corn-

hustlers win almost all the time." It's still too early to buy tickets to the Orange Bowl, but the big deal is the difference in this year's team over last year's. The big difference is a combination of several things: confidence, experience, coaching, and lack of injury. This is a team that is determined not to be the Big Eight's doormat. The confidence level on this team is readily explained by the presence of one man, Bill McCartney. McCartney is the type of man who would rather dwell on the positive side of his team than the negative. He is a straightforward and sincere man who believes his team can win. It's starting to rub off on the Buffs, who in turn believe that they can win with McCartney. Experience on this team comes from upper classmen like Victor Scott on defense, and Steve Vogel on offense. They've played together and have lost together. As a unit they have matured, and are learning what it takes to win. They believe in each other, and

11~/lfl

know that they need to in order to win. The ability to coach reflects on McCartney once again. He has assembled a staff that knows its football, and the results are beginning to show. The offense has the firepower that it needs to score, with QB Steve Vogel and WRs Loy Alexander and Ron Brown. The defense is not the sieve it once was, with All-American Victor Scott roaming the defensive backfield, and Barry Remington plugging the holes at linebacker. The Buffs have also been blessed with a lack of major injuries. So far, the one major injury that the Buffs could have done without went to outstanding freshman runningback Eric McCarty, who is out for the season with a knee injury. The Buffs are hoping the trend continues. So, maybe the Orange Bowl is still in the future. But if the Buffs keep on improving, Nebraska and Oklahoma had better start looking over their shoulders. We can only hope. 0

Varsity kickers bring home tourney runner-up trophy by Dave Migoya The MSC Men's Varsity Soccer squad traveled to Provo, Utah last weekend to participate in a four-team tournament. The defensive "no-goals patrol" came back to life as MSC came home with a second-place trophy. In the first game, MSC was defeated by a strong Brigham Young team, 3-1 on Friday. "It was like playing against 13 or 14 people," coach Harry Temmer said, referring to the refs. "The referees didn't help ·us any, but they helped BYU. We really outplayed them." Aside from the loss, Dave Morgan scored a peautiful goal by beating out a few BYU defenders and pounding it past the goalie. Reminiscent of previous games, the time was the key factor. According to Temmer, the time-keeper did not accurately keep the time. "At 51-minutes (of the half) we were wondering why the referees hadn't called time," Temmer said. " With two seconds to go, they (BYU) got a

penalty kick and tied it up." The final BYU goal came on a penalty kick late in the second half. Freshman goalie Mike Fehr was easily beat. "The call was made by a ref who did not have a good view of the play," Temmer said. "It was controversial as to whether or not it was a penalty." The second game was a virtual score-fest as MSC pounded Westminster College, 6-1, on Saturday.

,,...-

Senior Ken Wagner was the star when he scored two goals on penalty kicks, while Junior Dan Coffey notched another penalty goal. "Before each game we have penalty kick tryouts and Wagner was the best one," assistant coach Al Ashto·n said. "Coffey was our number two man, so I let him go for the third one." Other goals were scored by Junior Tim Vetter, Greg Sumlin and Carlos Dialovera, Dan Lombard, Al Reinig and Juan Hernandez. Continued on page 17

Rock climbing is frequently called " the ultimate sport" by its practitioners. Adventure athletes in other disciplines naturally take exception to this claim but, when you look at it closely, it's pretty accurate: in terms of psycho-physical challenge, aesthetic quality and overall fun, rock climbing has most other risk sports beat. Right now is a good time to begin, too; there's plenty of daylight left and the weather is absolutely grand. Of course, before you grab your shades and head for the nearest rock, you may sit back for a moment, consider all the splatter stories you've heard about climbing, and ask yourself: "How long am I gonna live if I start doing this?" The answer, as you might expect, is an unequivocal, "It depends." You can certainly kill yourself rock climbing and a good many Americans do so every year. But if you look at the numbers, you'll see most of this dead meat got that way by doing the rock climbing equivalent of playing on the freeway. If you have an even rudimentary sense of selfpreservation, you can put a lot of distance between yourself and the rescue unit Glad Bags. The way to do this is by figuring out how to use climbing safety gear and then staying within your limits until you feel comfortable enough. ~o take chances (more about this later). If you follow these guidelines, you'll probably live to tell lies about your climbing adventures. You may also tear up your shoulders, mangle your fingers or even break a leg but that's about it unless you climb during one of those reality warps known as Sometimes It Isn't Your Day.

The rewards of climbing are more definitive. Its physical demands require above-average strength and conditioning, particularly in the upper body (try doing ten pullups on a doorframe .. for a rough idea). And because you must move precisely, it develops agility and greater body awareness. Climbing puts you

The MSC Cross Country team will attempt to do in the North what they were unable to do in the South. Coach Brian Janssen and his Roadrunners placed a disappointing fifth in last Saturday's Southern Colorado Invitational. Only two runners came in the top ten of the five-mile event at USC. Two-time All-American John Liese placed sixth with a time of 26:40, while Charlie Blueback was able to notch eighth place with a time of 26:49. The next highest runner

was George Frushour, who came in 21st place, while four other MSC runners placed poorly. Two of the Roadrunner's top competitors were sidelined at USC by injuries. Scott Paxson has tendonitis in his foot while Jon Veltman is plagued by back problems. Both are expected to · be out for another week.

The runners will travel to Sterling this Saturday to compete in the Northeastern Junior O College Invitational.

The MSC Women's Volleyball team is gunning for high stakes again this season. Coach Pat Johnson said she will learn a great deal about the squad this weekend when they face nemesis and archrival UNC, which MSC has beaten once in the past six years. The Roadrunners made a strong run against UNC on Monday. MSC was leading, after winning 15-13 and 15-6, but UNC stormed back to win 7-15, 8-15 and 13-15 in a bestof-three series. Despite the I~ to UNC, Johnson is optimistic and hopes the team has learned from its mistakes.

"That was our best opportunity to polish them off in a long time," Johnson said. "It was a matter of not having enough killer instinct at the right time." Although MSC is the underdog in their match against UNC, Johnson says this will help the Roadrunners work . harder. "We'll be testing ourselves against a better team," Johnson said. The Roadrunners will play at UNC on Friday and Saturday. MSC will then host a tour-· nament against Rockmont and Western State College on Tuesday at 5 p.m. 0

terrorism, however, coupled with the need to entertain, precludes the possibility of a single feature-length film addressing it adequately. Consequently, The Final Option tends to waver between The A-Team and Nightline as its story unfolds. There are, for example, some great explosions, a lot of good swashbuckling and perhaps the corniest lines uttered on screen since Mr. T last opened his mouth (the groans elicited from the audience after a few of these would do justice to the worst James Bond pun).

dialogue and a number of penetrating glimpses into the technical-political details behind terrorism and its assault on the West. Unfortunately, these glimpses are too few; for the most part, the political commentary presented is superficial and hurried (though, actually, it's no more specious than the rhetoric heard every day from the nation's wimps, pacifists and nuke freezers). The fierce efficiency with which the SAS takes out the terrs at the end of the film is an accurate portrayal of this unit's abilities. As it did for real

back in 1980, this outfit of professional soldiers moves in, mops up and moves out so fast that viewers are left in almost breathless awe of its martial art (the U.S. has a similar unit named Delta, which is so "secret" the government refuses to acknowledge it even exists). Overall, The Final Option is a decent diversion. It certainly won't bowl you over with pathos or prescience, but it has some fine hell-raising and a very good handle on the real truth of "peace movements" and their bastard children.

However, the large ramification of 'Flashbacks' is that for the first time a book dealin~ with the 60s has been written without any hot emotion or simple sentimentality. On the contrary, Leary's healthy cynicism, present throughout the book, is far from simple, and that nonnaive outlook might be his sustaining force, the strength which makes him persist, keeps him an active spokesman for human change, where his more sensitive counterparts have fallen off to the sidelines, or have bought first-cllW tickets into comfortable, complacent, thirty- thousand-dollar- peryear lifestyles. Despite the complaint that . Leary's exhuberance causes

him to neglect some character depiction, 'Flashbacks' represents all that is desirable - and up to now has been missing - from books about the swirling, vibrant 60s and early 70s. ' Clearing through the emotional smog that has polluted most other works of the time, using a fine novel writer's dexterity, the Guru/Rebel to many has brought us an event.;; festival, and let us dance amidst his intense, immediate language. To those of us who continue to believe in the relevance of the 60s ideas, we should be ever grateful to the needed arrival of Leary's testament. 0
