Coretta King: Non-Violent .Change Sought

Funding to be Frozen at Present Levels

Study_Bill Clears House by Kevin Vaughan

Reporter, Tlie Metropolitan

The House Tuesday approved on final reading legislation which virtually freezes funding for higher education at present levels for one year and which creates a ninemember panel- to study ways to improve the system. During second reading Monday, opponents of the freeze provision were thwarted in their efforts to remove it from House Bill 1360. The bill's chief sponsor, Rep. Paul Schauer, R-Littleton, contends that the freeze threat is needed to insure that all governing boards cooperate with the study. In addition to holding funding at 102 percent of present levels for fiscal year 1985, the bill would-beginning July I-throttle all new programs for higher education in Colorado.

. The late Martin Luth.er King Jr., had a dream that one day this nation would rise up and live out the true me'!ning of its creed: "We hold these ~ truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. " Coretta Scott King, widow, of Martin Luther King, Jr., gave a lecture on nonviolent social change W ednesday, February 29, at St. Cajetan's Center. Over 400 people attended, ~ while another 200 watched on closedcircuit television. Besides discussing her late husband's legacy and the importance of non-violence in society, she stressed the need for public involvement. Mrs. King told the audience "). that she needs support from Colorado, and other states as well, to obtain a state and/or national Martin Luther King holiday, which will be c:t"lebrated the third Monday in ja'nuary, starting in 1986.

'... we need to look at the system and see where we are now and where we ought to be in 15 or 20 years.' -Rep. Paw 'Schauer

'We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.' - Coretta Scott King Mrs. King said the enactment of a national Martin Luther King holiday will be a testament to civil rights, and went on to suggest some other impor~ tant aspects of the holiday. ~ She said: "The holiday will have organized a coalition between parties, persons, or states for a joint action, marked the twentieth anniversary of Martin's death, and been a bipartisan piece of legislation." She ~ mentioned that the holiday is unique in that it is the only holiday honoring a black man, but that black history is not only for black people. "Let us not make the holiday a day of rest; but instead, reflect on Martin Luther King and sow the seeds of ~justice, peace, and equality," she said. "We've come a long way, but still have a long way to go." Mrs. King then asked the audience to "remember that ra:cial equality is the cornerstone of democracy, and that Martin Luther King believed in the ..... American system of Democracy." Mrs. King's visit in Denver was also aimed at promoting the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for NonViolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia. She listed five alternatives to using violence when facing a cma"'-cl on -page 3

Even before Tuesday's vote, Schauer predicted the bill would clear the House and be sent on to the Senate. " A good majority of the legislators," Schauer said, "recognize that with limited resources and changes in demogi:aphics that we need to look at the system and see where we are now and where we ought to be in 15 or 20 years." The study inlated to begin July l and last approximate9' a year. While it was argued that atiother study is not what is needed to Anprove education, Schauer disagrees: "The last study was done before the peak in college enrollment," Schauer -路 said, "and I'm sure thae.the attitude of legislators was different then than it is now." In its original form, H.B. 1360 would have totally reorganized the governance of higher education in the state. It would have placed all of Colorado's schools, except for the School of Mines in Golden, under the domain of either the University of Colorado Board of Regents or the State Board of Agriculture. But when the bill was sent to the House Education Committee for consideration, the amendment to substitute the study and funding 0 freeze was added.

.Education Still Sound, Study Says WASHINGTON, D.C. --Contrary to recent studies which claim American education is in a state of national decline, the quality of college students in science, engineering, and the humanities is at least as good as it was five years ago, according to two new reports.

Based on two just-released American Council on Education (ACE) surveys of senior academic officials at 486 colleges and universities nationwide, the majority of officials have seen "no significant change" in the quality of their science, engineer-

ing, and humanities students. "Some people will probably feel the reports are contradictory (to other studies) showing that American education is .going to hell in a handbasket," notes Charles Anderson, one of the ACE researchers who compiled the reports.

"But our study results indicate that education is not in as much trouble as all the reports have indicated," he says. Among "humanities officials, 62 percent reported that today's students are at least of the same quality as

students five years ago, according to the studies. Of the remainder, 22 percent of the humanities officials reported significant declines in student quality ~ver the last five years, while 16 percent noted significant i_mprovements in quality. Likewise, 61 percent of the engineering and science officials surveyed said they detected no significant .change in student-.quality in the last five years, while 25 percent reported significant improvements and 15 percent significant declines in quality. 0

Part-Time Teaching-Is It Worth It? by Michael Ocrant Reporter, The Metropolitan

Some part-time teachers at MSC and UCO say they are satisfied with their jobs, while others express frustration and anger about the situation. Part-time teachers appear to fall into two broad categories: those who depend on teaching as a primary

means of financial support, and those who choose to teach for enjoyment while having another ma]or source of income. Professors who fall into the first category said low wages and the lack of job security, health and other benefits were some of the things putting constant ·strain on the lives of part-time teachers. But instructors who rely on the in-

come of a spouse, or who work fulltime in another career said they are generally satisfied with part-time job benefits and conditions. According to Stanley Sunderworth, vice-president of academic affairs at MSC, colleges and· universities hire part-time instructors to save money and offer courses that require expertise in a specific subject. Yet the complaints of professionalminded part-time instructors are justified, according to both full-time professors and other part-time teachers, as well as Sunderwirth. MSC part-time faculty are paid $475 per semester hour, Sunderwirth said, and they are allowed to teach a maximum of two classes, or eight hours per semester. They are hired according to need on a semester basis, Sunderwirth said, and they have no health coverage or other benefits. "Their only right is to accept or reject the contract," Sunderwirth said. And yet, he said, the variety of classes now offered to students wouldn't be possible without the part-time faculty. "We could simply not operate

Still other teachers suggested taking a closer look at administrative salaries and cutting out budget excesses. While they understand the problems of budget constraints, parttime teachers said they experience an unfair share ?f inequities. For example, Laurence OiPaolo, a former part-time MSC English teacher recently hired as a full-time "temporary" teacher, said part-time MSC faculty have not received a raise in five years. Part-time faculty at UCO, according to a UCO professor, have received slight pay increases each year. They are now paid $1600 per class, or about $533 a semester hour. OiPaolo, who has taught at MSC for 10 years, said he now gets health benefits and a better salary working full-time, but his temporary status makes him eligible to receive only one semester contracts., "I can't get sick during holidays," OiPaolo said, "because my contract officially· ends when the semester is finished." Further, DiPaolo said, he is paid less than regular full-time professors

without our part-time staff," Sunderwirth said. In addition, many full-time faculty said they admired the abilities and dedication of part-time teachers who ;regularly teach introductory courses unpopular to full-time professors. "Teachers of English composition are like janitors who are cleaning student's minds," said Bob Nadon, a .full-time MSC English professor. "I don't know how part-time teachers do it year-in and year-out." But Board of Trustee regulations, tight budgets and the uncertainty of full-time student enrollment, Sunderwirth said, make it difficult to expect a change in part-time teaching conditions. For instance, estimated enrollment at MSC fell short by 600 (FTE) students this year up until walk-in registration. If student enrollment hadn't reached administration estimates, Sunderwirth said, many classes would have been cancelled and some part-time teachers would have been without jobs. "The issue of part-time pay increases comes up each year in budget meetin~," Sunderwirth said, "but we must always consider how much an increase in part-time salaries will affect raises for full-time staff." Many full-time teachers said they would be willing to temporarily do without a salary increase so that parttime faculty could get a raise. However, Sunderwirth said, three requests for salary increases submitted by the faculty didn't even mention part-time instructors.

teaching four classes, while he must teach five classes. But according to nine-year parttime MSC professor Terence Lohman, dedicated teachers should be entitled to more substantial benefits. "At least give us yearly appointments," Lohman said. And many teachers agreed that dedication should be rewarded in some way to avoid high attrition rates among part-time faculty with proven teaching abilities. Both Lohman and OiPaolo said they are reluctantly· looking for work elsewhere. Part-time UCO English professor Tom Watson said he, too, was unwillingly applying for full-time teaching positions wherever there are openin~. . "I think UCD is the best school I've ever taught at," Watson said. "I wouldn't want to leave but I must be concerned about my profession. I've prepared all my life for this." Watson suggested that part-time positions might be consolidated if enrollment continues to grow and more full-time jobs created. The financial problems at the University of Northern Colorado, Sunderwirth said, were blamed on reduced enrollments coupled with a largely tenured faculty. However, he added, the master plan of AHEC calls for reducing the ration of part-time or full-time faculty. Still, most part-timers listed job security as at least one important issue. 0

Dr. Marc Rabinoff, ~ociate professor of physical education at MSC, is an engaging man who speaks rapidly and enthusiastically about his subject --sports and the law, throwing in a humorous aside now and then. His accent is from the Bronx, he said, "softened by way of the South."

A nationally acknowledged expert witness on sports injuries and liability lawsuits, Rabinoff has testified on behalf of, and sometimes against, manufacturers of athletic equipment .and their use. He is also writing a book on the subject.

COLL11\INISIB AnnS Race Bad News for US "When we take a survey of mankind~ we cannot help cursing the wretch who, to the unavoidable misfortunes of nature, shall willfully add the calamities of war. One would think there were evils enough in the world without studying to increase them, and that life is sufficiently short without shaking the sand that measures it." - Tom Paine When it comes to the question of defense, it's all too easy to be caustic, harsh, tough, and determined. Those who would criticize the military with words of compa.s.sion are quickly denounced as weak, or misinformed. It is risky to reveal tender, gentle, and delicate feelings. The entire nation may need to undergo sensitivity training to counter the coldness of the arms race, but this is not likely to happen. What is likely, though, is that the arms race will continue well into the future, and, as a con$equence, harsh criticism will persist. In an angry, moralistic mood, proponents of the military/industrial complex could be considered merchants of death, who have no right to be in business. The military machine could be thought of as the ultimate manifestation of corporate greed. From a strictly democratic view, the complex could be seen as an example of a.small minority exerting undue influence on our democracy. It is a fact that those who directly benefit from the arms race --some five percent of the population-- divert more than 50 cents of eacli dollar into their small circle of interest. · The question arises: does the military/industrial complex talce what it needs to do the job, or does it merely take because it can get away with it? Proponents of the complex will argue till hell freezes over that arms expansion is vital to the security of the nation, but it's no coincidence that as the arms race expands, so does their profit. They obviously wish to perpetuate their goal, which is, at least, a sustained, and at best, ever-increasing profit on the continuous sale of weapons. The immediate and long range effect of their enterpriSe, unfortunately, is to undermine the long-range prospects for survival, not just of our nation, but the entire world. Ironically, the arms race is bad news for industry itself. Many of these huge, single customer enterprises are so dependent on government contracts that they are probably incapable of competing in a free market. It's been said that they are the closest thing in this country to the "state" industries of the communist world. They have artificially expanded, on the a.s.sumption that the cold war will never end, and must now be artificially supported. The money involved, however, is real, too real. In a sense, the military/in~ dustrial complex has become the biggest "welfare" recipient of the "welfare ·state." Strange, but it hasn't always been so. Not so long ago, our American ancestors advocated deliberate self-denial. They believed in the limitation of armaments and armies. The arms merchants existed, but in a more natural capacity. The people understood that a huge military machine was the means to war, and that in order to discourage the war, one must discourage the machine. America is now the greatest builder and exporter of war machines, in stark contrast to this earlier time when such behavior would have been clearly, and commonly identified as totally irresponsible. Responsibility, it seems, is the essence of the defense question. Standing before students at the Harvard Business school in 1959, American statesman Adlai Stevenson warned his audience to "be aware of your heavy responsibility in our system, think through your real objectives, and evolve a vision of America y.ou would like to see that must take account of considerations above and beyond the success of any business." A few centuries before, patriot Mercy Warren explained that "Government is instituted for the protection, safety, and happiness of the people, and not for the profit, honour, or private interest of any man, family, or class of men." They were telling us to be careful, to examine our motives, and to work for the benefit of the whole. The arms race may benefit individuals; it may bring profit, power and prestige to a few, but it can hardly be considered beneficial to the ma.s.ses. Roger Fisher, professor of law at Harvard University, noted that "Those who question nuclear weapons as a solution·to the problem of making the world work are sometimes called naive. In truth, those who are really naive are the people who still believe that there are military solutions to political

There is no way that exploding stick of dynamite wilf make a marriage work, that exploding a ton of TNT will make a village work or that firing nuclear weapons will make the world work." "We must negotiate from a position of strength," Reagan says. But he's actually negotiating from a position of weakness --being too weak to admit that the arms race is out of control, and that he hasn't the slightest idea what to do about it. In 40 years, this nation has gone from negotiating disarmament to negotiating arms control, and finally, to negotiating negotiations. What began long ago as a valuable endeavor, is now nothing less than a meaningless gesture. .· When all is said, a bit of realism wouldn't hurt. Our leaders could face the facts, be practical, and simply end the arms race. But do they really want to? Most likely, the arms race will continue until we elect leaders who are truly willing to lead us to a new and better world. Is this asking too much? No way.

Diving Medicine Workshop Offered by Metro State In response to the needs of the large population of scuba divers in the Denver area, Metropolitan State.College is sponsoring a one-day workshop entitled "Introduction to Diving Medicine." "Although scuba diving is a safe sport," says Brian Foley, the diving medical specialist who is presenting the workshop, "the nature of the undersea environment neces.5itates that divers receive special training in the medical problems unique to diving."

Along with Charles Goldstein, M.D., and John A. Vanbuskirk, M.D., Foley will discuss the physics and physiology of diving medicine, diving-related maladies, decompression sickness, and environmental hazards of diving. The class is scheduled to meet from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, March 10, in the Student Center on the Auraria campus. The cost is $35. For more information contact Metro's Department of Conferences and Seminars at 629-3115.

The Grinch's Guide to < Di Gastronomical Gratification AURARIA BOOK CENTER

There is nothing quite like the feeling of gastronomical fulfillment when you find the buffet by which all others should be judged. This happened to me last week when I visited the Bull and Bush, located at 4700 Cherry Creek Drive South. Hence, the indigestion my editor so tactfully referred to. ~ Let us discuss the factors that caused this painful, yet fulfilling gastric upheaval. The Bull and Bush is the home of Denver's original --and finest-taco-bar ... accept no imitations, folks. Although the taco-bar is only served here on Fridays, (they have a tostada. bar on Mondays) it is well worth your time to visit. However, you must get to the Bull and Bush early, or you will find yourself sharing space with a wall; it does get very, very crowded. It's funny how people flock to fine free food, indeed. So, let's quit beating the "bull" around the "bush" and talk about this great taco-bar food. The taco shells are crisp and fresh; and the spicy hamburger tastes great, with very little grease to speak of. Two kinds of cheeses are available; grated cheddar and melted nacho. There are nacho chips available (nacho bar?) if you don't like taco shells --and for sheer diversity. Movin' on down the line, the taco-bar patron has a choice of sour cream, diced jalapeno peppers, hot sauce, tomatoes, and lettuce. These condiments complete the ultimate taco-bar experience. But wait, taco-grabbers, there is more: find Gouda and Brie cheeses,

While sitting next to the buffet, I noticed five men standing in the corner consuming massive quantities of food without buying any drinks. This isn't so bad, but things really got out of hand when they started to pocket food. One tall, grubby bohunk even poured melted cheese into his coat pocket! This is serious freeloading, folks. This is the kind of activity that will result in owners closing down buffets. The Grinch will not tolerate freeloaders. You bozos know who you are out there, so pay heed to this: I will personally put my right foot size-nine into any freeloader's kiester, male or female. The Grinch will not discriminate --sexually or racially-- when it comes to ripoffs. If you feel the need to steal, go to a store; don't ruin a good thing for paying customers.

Standard Deviation's influences are as diverse as their sound. Squeezed in between the originals in the repertoire are copies of songs ranging from Pat Metheny to Thelonious Monk. Their version of /m_pression by John Coltrane was poignant and came close to getting the distracted crowd emotionally involved. The amazing thing about Standard Deviation is that they are playing spots like The Mission. At the very least, this band deserves the Rainbow. They also perform at some of Larimer Square's clubs, and are occasionally augmented by some saxophones. To think of this group with a backing horn section is enough to make the faithful's mouth water. If there was ever a way to make this great band better, ... horns are the answer. 0

Newman Bombs in Latest -Film by Bob Haas Reporter, The Metropolitan

The other day, Andy Rooney chided that the Democrats ought to get tough and nominate Paul Newman. He would be good in a political role because he looks the part. However, he does not look the part in his newest film, Harry and Son. Simply stated, Harry and Son is a bomb, both in diffusion and motivation. The film is diffused in a number of

teels sorry for himself and plays ignorant practical jokes on his offspring. He has a cynical tongue and it is never clear to the audience why the rest of the cast has so much compassion for him. Perhaps the idea is that before all of this bad stuff happened to Harry, he was a nice guy. In having to only assume that this is so, we are also forced to assume that we care one way or the other what happens to Harry. Robby Benson is his son, best described as the same character that

Newman's youthful face, his overwhelming genteel nature, and his eyes do not lend themselves to the portrayal of an ~ll-tempered, illmannered construction worker. For Paul Newman to be effective as an ac-· tor, his character must possess some quality beyond the mundane and ordinary. Crane operator Harry (Newman) is an aging and ailing widower who

Robby Benson usually plays --being there for dear old dad, through thick and thin. However, the film lacks any aggression in a viable direction; it is a collage of a multitude of problems heaped upon mostly uninteresting people while at the same time implying that everything will work out. If you choose to see this film, you will understand the film's fantasy-like naivete, the stupidity of some of the characters, and the monotonous clutching after of some kind of theme. D
