'Interim' Candidate Interviewed Avril 7 by Lisa Jean Silva ,-

·Reporter, The Metrupolitan

In their search for an interim president for MSC, Consortium trustees met in executive session April 7 al which time they interviewed Dr. Brage Golding, a former president of Kent State University, according to Faculty Senate President Frieda Holley. Holley, MSC's three vicepresidents and an MSC dean were invited to the private meeting, and were allowed to interview Golding. It is unclear whether the trustees consider Golding, now retired, to be the prime candidate for the temporary position. The trustees must meet in open session in order to make their decision. Fontera's contract would not have ended until July 1, 1985. Because of possible conflicts of interest, it is unlikely that Dr. Richard Laughlin-Presiaent of the Consortium-will remain as MSC's acting president for the next 14 months. "No decision was made,'' Laughlin said. "We were just trying to decide what to do, as this situation is unprecedented," Laughlin said of Dr. Fontera's sudden illness and death. Holley-the only faculty member invited to the meeting-said she believes the trustees wanted to explore ideas and offer suggestions without feeling committed to them. "Another reason· for privacy might have been to protect Dick (Fontera)," she said. At that time, Fontera was still talking about returning to his position. "The trustees talked about what to dq in the meantime,'' Holley said. Do

Now I would," she said. "No one on campus has enough backing,' Holley continued. "When names are brought up, there are always too many objections.

The Optimism of 'Senator Bill' .

challengers-Attorney Carlos Lucero, Lt. Gov.

Tn.e Senator, however, is proud of his record. .

aspect of his work has been "the relationship with individual people, getting to know them, listening to theµ1;. and working with people throughout the state." He recalls that "a rancher out in Lincoln County pointed out to me the tremendous problem of soil erosion and really the tragedy of soil erosion in this state, and I introduced a bill called The Sod Buster Bill which eliminates federal incentives for plowing up fragile grasslands.

It is logical then, that he abhorred the notion of an academic community that existed in a vacuum. He was the prime mover and shaker of our ties to the downtown Denver community, and to the community of Denver as a whole.

Som~

observations regarding the future of higher education in Colorado, with particul(ir reference to Auraria and Metropolitan State College . .. an expression of appreciation of a job well done and then.a call for vision. -by Dr. William Rhodes, MSC Professor of Philosophy Two recent events stirred me to make some observations which are intended to add constructively to the current discussions regarding the future of higher education in Colorado, particularly at Auraria and in connection with my own institution, Metropolitan State College. One event was the presentation on Monday, March 26th, at the Auraria Interfaith Center by representatives of the parties involved in Auraria higher education and its future. The other is the circulation of the draft of the Metropolitan State College Institutional .Master Plan 1984-1988. Both events take on major meaning of the larger events likely to be generated by the passage of H.B. 1360, events which may radically restructure higher education in Colorado.

_"If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix it' The recent state audit of educational effectiveness at Auraria indicates that the faculties and students here are doing good work at very low cost to the state. At the right place, at the right time, for the right persons and for the right reasons an amazingly effective set of educational programs have been created in a short time and are being carried out rather well. Over 32,000 people a year, most of whom are well over the age of 24 and of whom 1400 are from abroad, have voted with their feet and their funds to be a part of Auraria's higher education. The MSC 1984-88 Master Plan draft likewise attests to extraordinary success at Auraria, particularly at Metropolitan State College. This document shows that MSC is worth keeping, worth supporting and worth improving. It shows that we do good work here. Hundreds of persons who have taken the leadership in developing and carrying out the Auraria and MSC "idea" deserve profound thanks from the students benefited and from the citizens of Colorado who likewise are benefited. The story of the achievements at Auraria and MSC needs retelling and the programs here need increased support. Any attempts to change abruptly what has developed organically at Auraria are to be resisted.

However, the ephorism, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is but half the truth, in my opinion. The other half is an equally valid view: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." In keeping to the first truth, institutions generally get into a situation expressed by a third aphorism where "the good becomes the.enemy of the best." A "don't fix it" mentality usually becomes a negative, defensive and counter-productive status quo policy. Healthy institutions, most of us would agree upon reviewing the life of institutions, continually require creative change as well as solid maintenance. All too often the solid maintenance excludes.sreative change. I see this as true for much of Colorado's higher education, Metropolitan State College included. It should be otherwise. To paraphrase Isaiah, "Where there is no vision, institutions soon languish." I do not think we want languishing around here. While a hearty vote of confidence for Auraria and Metropolitan State College (as well as for most higher education in Colorado) is needed, it must be balanced by renewed vision and creative action. Much of that vision and initiative ought to come from within the higher education community, particularly from the students and professional faculty. The students and the faculty are the central business of learning and teaching, and their considered opinions should be central to our enterprise's vision quest. Further, I should like this to happen based on broad, vigorous, open discussion moving in the mode of consensus rather than confrontation and advocacy. Infighting and cross-fighting amongst the higher education community is, I think, not only inappropriate for persons of reason but counter-productive to all concerned. _ 1

A Modest Proposal Hence, I propose for the balance of 1984 a host of campus informal and formal gatherings, coordinated as well as spontaneous in the form of dialogues, in-class discussions, position papers, workshops, retreats, interp~partmental studies, letters-to-the-editor, congresses, and whatever, along with task forces and retaining of professional consultants for public advice. As they say, "Let a thousand flowers bloom!" Let all this not only help clarify our own vision but percolate through, formally and informally, to the state's new study commission on higher education. · Also, to that commission I suggest that a seasoned win-win professional consulting group such as Accord, Inc. of Boulder be retained. This group is t.u rning out an amazingly productive common vision for the varied Colorado water interests so that "the water wars" very well may fade into the oast. The same needs to happen for "the education wars," in my judgement. I recognize that good-faith, tough minded, creative, courageous, critical, generous and common-interest self-study is harder to initiate and carry out on behalf of students when so many things are going well and confirming est.ablished interests, as to Auraria currently, than when most things are gomg poorly or when there is some clear kind of education vacuum as there was in Denver in 1960 when MSC was envisioned as a center-city, commuters' innovative college. Let us be glad we can build our visions on su~ rather than on the contrary.

Where, currently, is such critical, creative, open-minded, studentcentered self-study ~evoted to envisioning Colorado's higher education, especially for Auraria? I have not located it. I do see some major inititatives and change proposals of significance, but they are not from faculty and students nor are they exempt from undue self-interest advocacy. (Such initiatives are not always bad. At least they"force needed change and usually increase vitality.) For example, we see major initiatives for change coming from the University of Colorado under the leadership of President Weber and Regent Dietze. I see Representative Schauer's bill as a needed move at this time. I regret President Fontera's passing because he represented educational envisioning. In addition to these sectors, envisioning for intelligent change is needed from all quarters and from all perspectives. Such broad and careful envisioning is ,surely superior to "hunkering down" into present successes with characteristic refusal to entertain and •propose creative m.ajo1 · redevelopments. I write this ~ay as a modest contril>ution to the needed envisioning process.

A Preference

Regarding the long-range future needs of Colorado higher education, l separate my preferences from my predictions. I prefer and advise that No. 1, preserving our gains, and No. 2, revisioning and creative planning, on behalf of Colorado higher education, particularly Denver metropolitan higher ,e ducation and most especially my own beloved MSC, be achieved via a rather decentralized pattern statewide, much as at present, rather than via

radical restructuring into a more centralized pattern of governanc',e and adninfutration. I arr not conv.inc"ed that t wemingly rational, centrallzed rcstructuration of the statds higber education will bring about the desired academic improvement and significant cost reduction, While the current multiinstitutional and rather decentralized pattern appea;rc to many to be irfatironal or evern chaotic and tm cnstly to the citizenry, it is not. The current pattern is quite educational and cost effective thougb not, I perceive, to be administratively effective. Regarding tbe apparently logical proposals that Colorado's higher education be restnrctured along the lines of Californids three- tier rystem or lowa's single board of regenb, I strongly resist these options. One "super board" or three "super boaros*' with neat organizational and flow charts will, in my opinion, but lead to increased super-bureaucracies (and to superblundering). I have just spent a day at tlle State University of lowa and saw there how the state superboard is bungling some crucial needs. The complications and inertia and administrative isolationism within the University of Colorado, especially in administering CU at Auraria, attest to built.in shortcomings in dinosaur-like central agencies. This likewise seems true regarding MSC as part of the Consortium of State Colleges.. Radical centralization of higher education, in my view, is not the answer. Continubd cuqrdinated decentralization-with specific problems addressed and solved-is the answer. With the legislature, CCIIE and the Governor keeping our feet to the fire, in an acrcountable manner t}re higher education enterprise in Colorado needs to preserve the great good we have through current patterns and.at the same .time cnme up with specific solutions for specific difficulties. Most of these pertain to isolationist adminishations and governing boards along with selfenta4gling bureaucratic overload. This was the one item all parties agreed. to at the Mareh 26th forum on higher education at Auraria.

changing needs? How can proportions.of higher education expenditures going for administration be brought into balance in favor of instruction, our main business? And so on. In these questions and suggestions are se4iorrs and complex issues. Simplistic solutions will not suffice. Not only vested interests are involved in such queries but, more importandy, are real, productive lives and genuinely effective educational programs. Pepple and their educations are involved, not just abstractions and dollars. I do not raise these questions lightly or mischievously nor do I see them as final proposals. New issues and solutions will emerge which have not yet been thought. A great deal of intelligent, gpod-faith process is required to resolve the issuei and to gain productive

outcomes, I do insist that such questions be raised and openly addressed on behalf of future persons benefiting from higher education as well as on behall of those now irivolved.- Whether- we follow our, preferences or our predictions, we need such envisioning. With or without administrative and governance support, strongly prolpote that the st-udents and faculty at Auraria, and itatewide, legiir in ai open manner characteristic of free, academic institutions this "great conversation, " I,et those of us.who are students and who have professional responsbilities moVe quickly to develop creative vision for the fuiure of higher iucation in Colorido. Let us find ways to become pro-active in these concerns rather than hold to our customary re-active posture. If we as students and faculty

do not, others with different or lesser commitments to higher learning wiil do it for us-and with poorer results, To create tbe needed,rision, Iet us r-ega-rdless of institutional identification begin some intensive and intelligent

thinking and talking on the

A Predlctlon Wbile rny preference is clear, my prediction is otlicrwise. I predict that particularly at Auraria, the 1985 Legislature out of understandable exasperation and in. order "to make better sense" bf the whole situation along with the hope to lower custs, will deliver some misplaced and untimely "f,ammer blows" to the structure of Colorado higher education and ttence in turn to educational effectiveness. Also I predictlhat the Regents, with their constitutional and alumni clout, will make some "end runC' to expand the Univenity's role in Colorado bigher education. Then there very well may be some political "hot-doggingf' for personal power expansion usjng higher education only as a ploy. I seriously doubt any of these will add to the benefits of the state's higher ducation. , If one agrâ&#x201A;Źes that radical and câ&#x201A;Źntralizing restructuring of Colorado higher education is likely evcn though undesiraLle, then tbos6 in the educational- "community'' strould be grven even more support to my proposal No. 2, radical revisioning from within, to kecp the current gains and add some desired new ones. Napoleon once observed that "When there is to be a major' rearrangemâ&#x201A;Źnt of power, he who comes to the- conference table with the. clearest ideas will prevail." Basking in present successes and quietly enduring current mis-administrative and mis-governing practicres are ;rot enough. Ardqnt revisioning from within is must on behalf _of securing needed rearrangements and new institutional energies. This I see to be the next priority for students arid faculty in higher education in Colorado, especially.at Auraria. because of obvious governanoe and administrative anomalies,

Some Thlngs to Gonsider If revisioning is in order and i[ some major rearrangemnets short of total centrnlization are in our higher education's best interestes, what needs to be considered? Many issues have afready been mentioned in the press and internally. Some tread on.sensidve toes, some do not. For example, would it be more productiye for the Consortium of State Colleges to continue with colleges of a similar sort such as Adams State, Western State, Mesa State, Fort Lewis and the Univerdty of Southern Colorado under their governance while spinning off Metr.opolit'an State College, a dif$erent kind ofiollege in a different hnd of setting? Should not MSC and Lhe currcnt undergraduate portion of UCD, along with Auraria DACC, be combined under a fivecounty elected governing board as a successor to AHEC? Should not a fouryear, open-door undergraduate csllege, such as MSC, be continued as the appropriate and characterlstic iiutitution for the metropolitan areaP Could not undergiaduate UCD, MSC and Auraria DACC be combined into an Auraria State College wliich condnued to serve well student needs for specialized excellence, general cnmpetence and remedial training? Should not CU cnntinue a quality of graduate program and a "presence" in

downtown Denver parallel to its Colorado Boulevard Health Sciences Center? Maybe the beleaguered University of Denver might become the University of Colorado at Denver.

Three student-directed one-act plays will be presented by the MSC Players of Metropolitan State College at 8 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, April 25-28 in the Arts Building, Room 271 on the Auraria Campus, Ninth and Lawrence Streets. The bill includes "Constantinople Smith" by Charles L. Mee, Jr. directed by Kathryn Meistrell; "Billy Goats Gruff' adapted and directed for puppets and actors combined by Katie Polk; and "Pvt. Wars" by John McClure directed by Samantha Atkinson. "Constantinople Smith" is a satire on 'art imitates life' in the theatre. Smith, the central character, is a grandiose everyman whose romantic dreams.are manifested on the stage until Reality interferes and the curtain rings down on his hopes. Danny Murray plays Smith, Dan M_artinez portrays Reality, and Monique Vermont plays Christina, Smith's idealized lover . In "Pvt. Wars" three men are recovering from wounds inflicted on them during the war in Viet Nam. Rome Benetti, David Doyle and Jack Oden play the .roles. For her adaptation of "Billy Goats Gruff," Katie Polk is using both puppets and the puppeteers as actors in the story which she has adapted from the · traditional story. The performers include Barbara Norris, Melanie A. Stitzel, Robin Beieler, Rebecca E. Probst, Richard E. Stream and Heidi Stephens. . Ticket cost is 33 cents per show or $1.00 for all three.

The Grinch's Guide to Gastronomical Gratification

Sinking My Bicuspids by Grinch Food crllic at large, The Metropolitmt

For some odd reason, when the wild, wild west gets into your system, it's very hard to shake off. And now, to make things more complex than they already are,, I have found another area of town that seems to breed free-food buffets like sexually prolific rabbits. 路 This whole strange theory of many diverse buffets in close proximity to each other is logical, albeit very weird. If one establishment starts a buffet, it's only natural that others follow suit. These places find . each other's competition healthy for business. This competition is also very beneficial to the buffet-goer, in that the product is always being improved upon-to stay one step-ahead of the other guy. Union-Simms Boulevards between Alameda and West 8th avenues in Lakewood is the latest "buffet corridor" discovery. There are quite a few freebie food-bars out here (five at last count) but only two are worth visiting: Simm 's Landing and Jose O'Sheas.

Into the Real Beef: Who· is Jose O'Shea? . . .

Glendale. Since the Bull and Bush has some of the finest free happy-hour food-; it's only natural that Simm's Lan_ding would be a reflection of Bull and Bush's culinary craftwork. Simply put, it is. Decorated in · wharf-seaportmarina motif, Simm's Landing is the epitome of class, both in food and atmosphere. There are two identical buffets set up because the lounge is so huge. One area, the Quarterdeck,

Service and atmosphere are the same as the foo~-superlative. Jose O'Shea 's (384 Union Boulevard) is a perfect example of your typical Ameri-Mex restaurant, with sort of an Irisl} flavor to it.

"I'm still trying to visualize what someone named Jose O'Shea would look like ... " offers the best view of Denver, although the city view I saw was a 1 raging blizzard. However, the food warmed me up. Some of the largest, tastiest BBQ ribs I have ever sunk my bicuspids into are part of the selection . here. Simmered in spicy, thick BBQ sauce, there is no doubt as to the location of the beef; these are the meatiest happy-hour ribs I've found yet. The rest of the buffet consists of vegicheese kab9bs, nacho chips, cheeses, various dips such as clam and burnt onion, and lots of homemade crackers and chips (Simms Landing does all of

Although the_motif is kind of cliched (dried corn cobs and stalks, brightly colored blankets and sombreros) the food is something worth noting. Ameri-Mex food has a reputation for being dull and .tasteless, but not at Jose's joint. You can build tacos, tostadas, or just pile a bunch of beans and cheese on your plate.

Jose O'Shea's is the only place I know of in town that has a taco bar from 10 p.m. to closing every night of the week. Now, that's the way to entice people to come to your establishment. As far as I know, Simm's Landing doesn't even have anything like that,

should have been, but the sea was qttiet and the mysterious birds of message must have been informing other fools of their fate: My wife and I are walking along the eastern seacoast where on some mornings the sea smells like a newly-opened watermelon. We are happy, and in not too long we're going to be unhappy ... Our feelings move faster than our tongue and flickers over the landscape, so that what we know is always just beyond our reach. We are all tourists in the landscape of love."

After reading Dr. Rat, I joined Greenpeace and The Fund For Animals and began to actively oppose the wanton cruelty against animals. The illusory and fantastic Fata Morgana really moved and touched me.

So, it was with much anticipation I really like the works of William Kotzwinkle, and I've read virtually that I read his intriguing new novel, everything he's published-from The Queen of Swords. How can anyone resist a novel that Fan Man to Christmas at Fontaine's tot he "novelization" of the smash begins: "There were no omens. There film E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial.

As boys, they made a pact to share their fortunes, their loves, their lives. As men, they shared a dream to rise from poverty to power.

Forging an empire built on greed, violence and betrayal, their dream would end as a mystery that refused to die.

The narrator of the novel is Eric, " a famous unknown writer," who- lifts weights, jogs, studies karate, and is a health food adherent. He also practices yoga, and has one little problem: "Snow was falling and I was sitting outside on my yoga mat, huffing and puffing toward the sunrise ... sucking in the morning power. My body tingled with vitality. I took one last supercharged breath . .. stood, rolled up my yoga mat, and had a heart attack." Eric has daily, psychosomatic heart attacks. ' His wife Janet is a junk food junkie, an artist who spends most of her time on a windowseat watching the world go by. She slumps on her perch "like a fat little seal waiting to be clubbed." His friend and fellow writer is making millions in a drug-smuggling scheme. "I've been seeing a Latin showgirl. She threatens to pour gasoline on me in my sleep and ignite the bed. Apparently ifs an.old South American custom." "Perhaps," Eric replies, "you should invest in a smoke detector." One day while attending The Total Health Seminar, he meets a new Muse, Nora, "a tigress," a jogger, karate expert who "moves agilely in barefeet, her · soles no doubt tough. ened from kicking novelists in the forehead." She has a long flowing mane gone prematurely grey, "giving her a silvery sort of beauty like a fox in moonlight." She is the Queen of Swords. According to the old French Tarot "She is quickwitted, subtle, a dancer; she hath been called a widew." Nora is a: widow. Eric tells her, "I have psychosomatic heart attacks." My husband had them too." "Did he ever get rid of them?" "In a manner 'Of speaking," Nora replies. "He's dead." Eric · ignores the omens, howev~r, and moves in with Nora-and her other house guests: Mamba, a wild black musician; Yamaguchi, her conlimud on page l 5

Reaping the Benefits of Rockabilly by D.J. Owens Reviewer, The Metropolitan

Very few bands. are able to really shine at those 15,000-plus arena shows. Of course the Stones will always be shrouded in awe, and the fans' devotion to bands such as the Police will be unbridled at any venue. But, by and large, as the wattage is increased to suit the needs of the people in the rafters, the product becomes less directed, less heartfelt, and more violent. · Maybe not by design, but Dave Edmunds, the Stray Cats and others have brought the music back down to an individual level. Last fall in Boulder, the Cats insisted that the entire floor be relieved of its chairs thereby creating one huge dancefloor. Could the result have been anything but more personal? It's obvious. This is the way music was meant to be t(njoyed. The revival of Rock and Roll's older cousin, Rockabilly, has caused the more intimate showcases, such as the Mercury Cafe, to likewise be clearing away the chairs. Last Saturday night the Tel Rays performed at the Mercury. It was enough to restore one's

than the legendary Roy Buchanan. The Tel Rays' music is modern in the sense that a good deal of it is original, but what they represent is a rapidly evolving movement perhaps best described ~ the Rockabilly

renaissance. Though best seen in the Stray Cats, George Thorogood was laying the foundation for the 'billy renaissance' a decade ago. Now the movement is continuing to gain steam, and the Tel Rays are in the position to reap the benefits. The Tel Rays' toe-tapping doowop style hails from an earlier age, though refined and professional for the 1980's. Their part-Rock, partCountry, part-Rhythm-and-Blues approach fits perfectly into the "let's dance''. environment. The diversity of their approach was best revealed during Alan Hutchinson's Sell Me Free_dom. Not since the B-52's has there been a more psychotic tempo shift. The languishing tenor saxophone teased the ear as the vocals were emotional without being contrived. This band is first rate. Small clubs like the Mercury soon won't be able to hold all the people wanting to see the Tel Rays. At that time, THE decision · will confront them. Will their followers' dancing needs be given priority over their wallets? Will they have the integrity to refuse the impersonal, megabuck arena shows? The Tel Rays will perform at the Rainbow Music Hall in May. We shall see. 0

SPORIB A Conversation on the Physical J>y Robin Heid

Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

Bill Helman is MSC's athletic director: Dick Feuerborn, campus recreation director. Helman came to MSC in 1977 as a recreation administration intern after spending nine years as a computer programmer in the air force. The internship turned into a fob and He,lman became the campus recreation director, assuming duties that an undergraduate student named Dick Feuerborn had been handling with a couple of other students. After graduating with a double degree in physical education and recreation, Feuerborn picked up a masters in recreation administration, then returned to MSC as He/man's assistant. A year and a half ago, Helman was named athletic director and Feuerborn took over campus recreation. In addition to his AD duties, Helman coaches the men's baseball team; Feuerborn you can 'oftr_n find hanging out in the PER building seven days a week. The Met: Why did you go into athletics and recreation afte~ spending so many years in computers? Helman: It's what I always wanted to do. Sports and recreation are my love; I probably got misdirected into business; through my parents,

through pressure to make a career and make money. That's how I got guided that way, all the time not really enjoying it. I was only in the Air Force nine years because computer programming was fun for a while. But I had a commission, so almost immediately after going through school and learning how to program, I became a manager. That's the last time I wrote a program-after the first year of training. So the last couple of years ~ was in I planned to get back into what I really wanted to do. The Met: How about you, Dick? Feurbom: I used to live next to a rec center and I really enjoyed that. It wasn't until later that I found myself in a situation similar to Bill's. I just always wanted to participate in sports-related activities and all kinds of recreational activities. So I went back to school after driving a truck for a while, and I actually took advantage of MSC's counseling service. I was told I had tendencies for working in those kinds of social fields, as a social worker or recreation or PE teacher. The Met: So why do you like it so much? Feuerborn: Rec-reation is more than an occupation; it's an avocation. You live your whole life with it; that's why I'm up at 6:30 in the morning

Maybe they don't-need as much on campus. But there's still a great deal they need. Feuerborn: We're definitely into fund-raising. We raised $12,000 from the baseball clinic. We try to raise thousands of. dollars with our softball leagues and cheerleading camps. We can't continue to go back to the student government and request more and more motley every year. I think we need to demonstrate to them that we're doing the best job we Ci!an, given the resources we have, to turn that into some cash, to help take the load off the students. The Met: How does the population's interest and participation in recreation and athletics differ from ten years ago? Helman: Now almost everybody is into the fitness scheme of things. Everybody's picking up some way of rounding themselves out, or having a release, or whatever they're doing it for, and that's increas4tg rather than decreasing. And it's going to become even more important as we decrease the length of the work week. Feuerborn: For the older people in this OO\mtry, work was most important; play was idle time and not really vital fo anything. And that's changed . Now , physicians, psychologists and everybody agrees; recreational time is just as important as work time. This interview will conclude ne%t week. Gl
