25 % Increase Proposed

Some Students Will Be Seeing'Red'

Parking May GoUpAgain

Coors Cracks Campus by Kevin Vaughan News Editor, The Metropolitan

by Scott Mohr The Food Committee of the Student Facilities Policy Council has given tentative approval for a product of the Coors Brewing Company to once again be served in the Student Center The sale of Coors products was banned from the Student Center in 1980 by the SFPC, but that was formally rescinded last April when the SFPC voted 5-3 to commission a study on student beer preferences. The Student Preference Beer Survey, which was promised before last Christmas when commissioned by the SFPC a year ~go, was conducted by the DACC Marketing Club. Results showed that Coors products were very popular among Auraria students George Killian's Red,a Goors product, will be served in bottles at the Mission next fall if approved by the full SFPC. "We tried to look at the stuaent preference of premium, regular, and light beer," Food Committee Member Brendan Kelly said. "The survey played into the decision in that Killian's was chosen. Because Budweiser, Michelob and Lowenbrau were already available on tap, we had to decide between George Killian's, Olympia and Stroh's in bottles." cont. on page 3

Reporter, The Metropolitan

Despite over $7 million in real and , projected parking revenues already !iet aside to alleviate parking pro- , blems, AHEC administrative services Director Raul Gomez told-the sparse audience at last week's open forum that an additional 25 percent increase in parking fees would be needed to help pay for solutions. This fall. According to Gomez, the increase is needed because the $7 million isn't enough to cover additional "planning costs" for either a mass transit system from Mile High Stadium or a parking garage. In addition, Gomez said the parking rate increase was needed to subsidize a "free park-and-ride shuttle" bus from Mile High to Auraria. With the impending loss of 616 currentlyavailable spaces to Tivoli this fall, Gomez said he felt the subsidized shuttle was the best temporary solution to parking problems. . "Since the students parking in the lots would, in effect, be paying for those riding free, the higher rates should encourage more students to take advantage of the system," Gomez said.

"We can't depend on RTD to solve our problems. ,, -Raul Gomez

Gomez also announced that the future of the proposed AGT system was in serious doubt. RTD has apparently backed out of the joint project, and according to Gomez, refused to even pay its share of cost overruns on the AHEC/RTD feasibility study for the "people mover." "We can't depend on RTD to solve our problems," Gomez said. But AHEC Executive Director Jerry W artgow said they are still negotiating with developers who might be willing to pay the entire cost of building an AGT system. "We expect to know more after (the contractors) proposals are presented to the Auraria Board for review on ~ June 4," Wartgow said. Although W artgow admitted that a parking garage is the "easiest" way to provide more parking, he stood behind plans to build an AGT as "the best long-term solution." But George Walker, of the parking advisory committee, said that he believes most students favor a parking garage. Moreover, he said that .increased parking revenues for planning costs were ~nnecessary, since the designs for a parking garage were already drafted in 1981. O

lSFPC Beer Although Coors itself wtll not be served at The Mission, George Killian's Red-a product of Coors-was tentatively approved for sale in the Student Center next fall.

Good News For Spring Grads by David Gaede

Special to The Metropolitan

(CPS)--This spring's college graduates can look forward to a job market that is "very improved" compared to last year's gloomy employment scene, placement experts report, but it's still nowhere near the booming market of the late seventies and early eighties. "There's a decided turnaround in the market and I think it's going to

continue for a whiie," observes Victor Lindquist, placement director at Northwestern University and author of the Endicott Report on nationwide employment trends for college grads. "It's kind of nice after going through two successive years of tailing activity to see job offers coming back in,'' he adds. Indeed, the number of job offers made to the nearly one million students who will graduate with bachelor's degrees this spring is up

about 33 percent nationally, says Linda Pengilly with the College Placement Council (CPC). "It's a big improvement over last year," she notes. "Much, much better than 1983," concurs Jack Shingleton, placement chief at Michigan State University and director of another nationwide job market study. "We' re seeing more employers coming in to interview, hiring quotas are up for all companies about five

percent, and more offers are being made," he reports. General Motors' hiring· needs "are really up for graduates and we're looking primarily for engineering and computer science majors," says Walt Rolm, GM's college recruitment director. Likewise, IBM will hire more grads than last year, says spokesman Les Sabor. , To fill the company's 10,000 openings this year, IBM recruiters are visiting over 350 campuses in search of grads with technical skills, business majors, and even some liberal arts graduates, he says. AT&T, in the wake of its recent divestiture, will hire "about the same" number of grads as last year, and expects to increase its job openings dramatically by 1985, officials · there report. The change will be welcomed. Last year's market "was the...worst in recent history," recalls the CPS's Pengilly. "Offers and salaries hit rock bottom." Following the record-breaking markets of the late seventies, when many graduates were getting multiple job offers and starting salaries were increasing at 9-to-13 percent a year, in the last two years employers have cancelled campus interviews, cut back on the number of job offers, and gave little, if any, increases in starting salaries, she explains. "Now the '84 grad has a much more optimistic market to go into," Pengilly says. "Things are still restrained, but there's a subdued optimism that things will keep improving." The economic upturn, coupled with the fact that many employers have deferred new hirings for the last two years, . ritealnfi there are more openings for this-year's job seekers, MSU's Shingleton says. The starting salaries being offered to this spring's grads, however, aren't improving much. Salary offers are running only 1-to-4 percent over last year's stagnated levels, experts report. Even for hot majors like engineering and computer science, salary increases are limping along at two or three percent, according to Pat Sheridan, executive director for the Engineering Manpower Commission (EMC). "There may be a turnaround, but salary increases are nowhere near what we saw in earlier years," he says. In fact, "they're no better than what we were seeing last year." "It's still an employers' market and the employers realize it," says Pengilly. "A lot of employers are telling us they're finding a much more competitive attitude among graduates and they're coming to campuses with full interview schedules." Another reason for the virtual freeze on salary increases is that employers aren't anxious to repeat the sins of several years ago, when many graduates got starting salaries that cont. on P"«e 5

often were higher than salaries paid to other employees. "That so-called 'internal salary compression' hurt many employers and caused a lot of dmatisfaction among their established employees," Pengilly explains. "So employers are really working to hold the line. Unless the economy takes a significant and unexpected upswing or the money supply tightens, we don't expect starti.ng salaries to change much." Engineering majors, of course, are still the choice grads in this year's market, enjoying $24,000 to $34,000 starting salaries, Pengilly reports. Of the over 74,000 four-year engineering grads this year, the electrical engineering majors remain the crown princes in terms of demand

and starting' salaries, says EMC's Sheridan, followed by mechanical, civil, and chemical engineers. Computer science and business majors also continue to be in strong demand and are commanding $20,000-plus salaries, says Northwestern's Lindquist. And liberal arts and humanities majors continue to struggle along with the fewest job offers and lowest starting salaries. Starting wages for them are averaging a pale $16,000, Pengilly_ reports, actually a three percent decrease from last year's salary offers. "I don't think opportunities are diminishing for liberal arts grads," she says, "but for the last few years, as we were in a recession, many

employers were cutting costs by hiring liberal arts people to do some of the jobs previously held by technical .majors." Now, with the improved economy and the ready supply of eager technical grads, those employers are once again bypassing liberal arts majors. Indeed, much of the recent talks about companies hiring more liberal arts graduates "is nothing but talk," says MSU's Shingleton. "I've sat and listened to many a chairman of the board talk about the need for bringing liberal arts people into the company," he points out. "But invariably, their corporate recruiters come back to campus and hire nothing but engineers and com-

puter science majors. It's all a lot of talk at the top without any follow through." "But I'm still really surprised at the number of firms looking for students who have well-rounded educations, who've done well in school, have work experience, and are involved in extracurricular activities,'' notes Lindquist. Two-year graduates with specialized vocational degrees "shouldn't have any problem whatsoever," finding a starting job, says Maureen Kennedy, placement director at Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City, Mo. But a general, two-year Associate of Arts degree is virtually worthless, except "to take on to a foll!-year school," she adds. 0

Editor: When ~ranian students held American citizens hostage at the U.S. Embassy ID Tehran, and again when a Korean airliner with U.S. citizens aboa~d w~ shot dow.n by Soviet fighters, the Carter and Reagan Adm1Distration, respectively, ~hose. ~e World Court as the appropriate forum for the voic1Dg of therr legitimate grievances. Now as the u s g~vernment . is ~ina~cing and directing a war against the people ·of N~c~ragu~, ID v10lation of U.S. and international law, the Reagan AdmlDistration has chosen to "spurn" the jurisdiction of the Court. The Reagan Administration has decried the "rise of state terrorism", yet has recently sent $32 million in military aid to the Government of El Salvador, a government which, by most accounts, is responsible for the deaths of 47 ,000 Salvadorans. The Legal Aid Office of the Archdiocese of San Salvador reports that the majority of these deaths are of civilians and attributable to right-wing death squads and the military itself. The U.S. sponsored war in Nicaragua is essentially a terrorist war. The targets of the contra include union organizers, educators, healthworkers, clergy and unarmed peasants. While in Nicaragua in January and February of this year I was asked to assist in the documentation of contra attacks in the area surrounding Waslala, Zelaya Norte, in the north central part of the country. The following text of a recorded statement of Sister Rosiane Scola, made on February 8th, speaks to both the nature of the war and the ch.allenge faced by the Nicaraguan people to construct a more just society, in spite of U.S. aggression and the legacy of centuries of exploitation: Rosi~ne Sc~la, Sister of the Immaculate Conception, from Brazil. (From a taped 1Dterv1ew recorded in Waslala, Nicaragua, in the Dept. of Zelaya Norte)

Student ActivitieH Report We are in the process of winding down from a very busy and active spring semester. We would like to share with you some of the events and activities that we have sponsored this spring such as the Second Annual Ted Mack Memorial Amateur Hour. The program was very successful and a good time was had by all. The contestants for the April 25th activity were selected from I the five-week preliminary talent shows held in the Mu.ion. The first prize of $300 was awarded to Mr. Derrick Brown, a jazz vocalist extraordinaire, 1 second prize of $100 was awarded to Ms. Anthresa Hardin and third place prize of $50 was awarded to Ms. JoAnn Connor, standup comedienne.~; I The Metrofnt Student Activities Fun Run was held on a cool crisp Saturday morning starting at the Speer and Corona Bike Path and finishing at Speer· and Market Streets. The top finisher was student Tom Whalen and Deborah' Shea came in second. Our first 5k fun run was not without its VIPs: Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice-president for Student Services, Dr. Stan Sunder-! wirth, vice-president for Academic Affairs, and Ms. Carrie Wettjen, budget officer. They were among the top finishers in the contest. The pedormance by Imagea, a contemporary Jazz group, was a huge success on the Student Center Plaza. Be on the look out for more events on the plaza as the weather becomes more "springlike". The HPER swimming pool will never by the same since the showing of jaws, MSC's first drive-in movie. We received press and media coverage, since we were hosting a Denver first! - The last speaker for the Spring Semester Lecture series is Carol Fuenta, an internationally known author. He will be on campus May 4th at 3 p.m. in the Auraria Student Center, Room 330.· Even though spring is coming to a close,"'we are diligently working on our first summer concert scheduled sometime late in August. We are looking at groups like Duran, Duran, Hall and Oates, or Al jart!aU. As we get further along in the planning, we will be sure to let you know. Our- last events of the spring semester, Matinee al the Mel will be cosponsored with the ASMSC and will include the showing of The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wan. MSC students will be admitted free, all others will be charged $1. The scheduled date is May 10 in the Student Center. Call the Office of Student Activities 629-2595 or ASMSC 629-3253 for more information and details. We would like to conclude this report by saying that even though we have had our ups and downs and our differences with the past student government administration, it has been a real pleasure working with Brendan and oo Joe. We sincerely wishyou the best-you will be missed. Sincerely ~ Gina Johnson, director, Student Activities ~

"I've been 13 years in Nicaragua. Now I'm in the parish of Waslala, Zelaya Norte. I work directly with peasants and with a number of communities. Living with campasinos; I share all their fear and uncertainties due to problems of counterrevolution. I've suffered with them but have much hope with the people for a better and more human life-a more dignified life. Every day I fight so that the Evangelico becomes inparnate in this Reality. My Brothers, Delegates of the Word, were killed-murdered by the contras-for trying to help their brothers put the Word of God into practice. Right now the Uncle of Pablo Oreseo has arrived to tell you about his nephew, a sincere and humble peasant Delegate who was killed by contras only because someone informed them of his good work. Other Delegates have also been ~inated on false charges by the contras. Some, like Chico Hernandez, who was killed at Cubali, have been murdered for being health workers. Sister Sabina from Buenous Aires, was raped by counterrevolutionaries one day's walk from here, because she was a delegato and because she took provisions, sugar and soap, to her people. To take the Evangelico Word to your brothers is to be called a communist. Brothers, in this.Reality, I always thank God for the opportunity He has given me to live this Evangelico in practice-to live this in every sense of the word if possible-until the ultimate consequence, until the giving of your own life as Jesus did. The Priest and I have been in encounters with the contra, and the contras are seeking for their own interest in the midst of dirty politics. Brothers, I know you, as we, are soldiers of peace. We want peace. We fight for peace. But the peace cries out for justice-a justice that we are constructing at this moment, searching for a new dignified life worthy of our people, when land can be shared and the food will fill every stomach, not just some. To be a soldier of peace is not easy because many times they call us Communist because of our vows. But we know that our objective is to live Jesus Christ incarnate, and for this reason we ask of you to continue in this mission which we see to be so good." D .d h .

F AC MeDlber Clarifies MSC Student Fee Issue

Editor: The question is, "Do we need student fees?" The answer is, "Yes, Virginia, we certainly do!" Every semester scholars at MSC register for courses. Even though MSC is a state college, receiving state money, registration requires paying a bill. This bill is divided into tuition, activity fee, health insurance, and Student Center Bond fee. As a Financial Affairs Committee (FAC) member of the student government, it is my responsibility to delve into all financial matters. Some student personalities use it ... Let us examine the Activity Fee we must all contribute each semester. This fee is necessary and is used to fund programs. These programs include: clubs, newspapers, recreation, student government, child care, athletic teams, academic teams, student activities, short term loans,' and legal aid to students. Every year, the budgets programs are submitted to the Student Affairs Board (SAB}. As a FAC member I sit on this board. For an "understanding of who allocates this money, let me describe the board and its function within this institution. The SAB is charged by the Vice President of Student Affairs with the duty of allocating student fees. The "VP" is charged with the responsibility by the man with the ultimate responsibility, the president of Metropolitan State College. The board is endowed with students, faculty, , and administrators. The make-up of this twelve-member board is: six students, four professors, one budget officer, and the chair. Everyone votes, however the chair only votes in the event of a tie. The board holds two gruelling (greater than-eight hours) hearings per year. We just held one Saturday, April 14th. These hearings, as . well as our regular meetings, are open to the public. Well, that is the board. Let's back up to the need for student fees. Student life above academic life is paid for through the Student Activity Fee. Student life at Metro means scholars aged 18 to 80, living at home, working their way through, etc. Student life means low-cost health care. Student life means playing basketball. student life means communicating through this newspaper. Student life means having power over student life. Student life means developing professional awareness. Student life means listening to a lecture. Student life means watching a great musician. Student life means watching students perform a play. Student life is low-cost child care. Student life means flying an airpline in competition. Student life means an early morning swim. In short, student life means ...

Criticizing 'Shoddy' Criticism Editor: Regarding the April 18, 1984 issue of The Metropolitan: No~ ?~Y c~n you not spell names correctly, but your shoddy attempt at a~. cnhc1sm 1s even more hilarious. · · .. John Priola's pictures have nothing to do with "punkish youth and even less to do with documentary photography. . .

1984 Elections! Braving a New Frontier

We have a problem today, that few people tend to acknowledge. So many of our Americans simply refuse to make the effort to "pick the right man for the job". It seems as though so many are complaining about the United States' situations, yet they aren't concerned enough to find out the real fa~ and make the best decision as to who could run our country the most efficiently. . Without this effort, I speak so fondly of, how can we as a people ever expect to push into the future as we possibly should have years ago. Our country's leaders seem to be caught up on the technicalities of a political system that can and will bring down any great power. Simply put, America must vote. · Our years are becoming critical as always. It will take a ~t ~an to direct our country's resources into the proper channels to obtam maximum efficiency and to conquer the important questions of today: always pending war, hunger and strife, deficits? Yes, the 1984 elections are and should be considered as the most relevant issu~n the minds of today's world. For it is with this vote of the people that our-country will once again venture into tomorrow. To know the past is fine, but it is only through tomorrow that actual sue~ will be obtained. Hopefully, the 1980's will be a time of change, of new frontiers. Here we have technology crawling up our backs, with many of the people lost amongst it. This "great" man who will be elected to ~e White House o~ce · will need not only the foresight of yesterday, but the skills to sharply redefme the positions within the government itself. "Back to basics" is a fine motto that comes to ~ind. "Fine people" is another, honest people-those who are not doing only for themselves, but for all. Are they there? Who knows. I do know one thing, if they are, I pray they are one of the men running for the presidency. As you may realize by now, this 'new' head of house is going to m~ke or break us. Personally, I hope there is some chef in him. Joseph Deleo

Conference a Success Editor: The Western Association of Africanists presented a three-day annual conference. It w~ held from April 19 to April 21. Much discussion was sparked by lively and interesting panel presentations by Ph.D's and Doctoral students from around the West. The speakers were multi-disciplinary, which made the conference all the more appreciable by students of any aspect of African culture. 'l;'opics discussed and debated included Socialism in Africa, U.S. foreign policy in Africa, the subject of military coups, African tradiaons and culture and an interesting panel concerned with the applicability of Western culture and educational systems for Africa. Local arrangements were provided by Dr. A. Thobani of MSC, a professor of Afro-American Studies, and Dr. J.B. Wolf, of the UCD History-Department. Although announcements were posted .throughout the entire campus, Auraria student turnout was somewhat dismal. Many of the out-of-town professors were annoyed at the low rate of participation by students at such a large campus. But this is to be expected at institutions where student apathy · is high and student involvement is virtually nonexistent. Despite this, the conference was successful and all the participants enjoyed the facilities at Auraria. Kent G. Sieg

Racial Prejudice Charged Editor: I found your report on MSC's recent SAB meeting to be most interesting. · I realize that I am not an MSC student, however as DACC Student Representative Council President, I am concerned with anything that happens on this campus. Budget meetings can get very serious. Currently we at DACC are putting together our own budget. Occasional moments of humor are welcome ... Mr. Boltz certainly meant no malicious intent by bringing an axe to "cut the budget". In fact, I wish I had thought of doing that at our own meetings. The thing that is most disturbing about this whole affair is Miss Johnson's obvious racial prejudice against white men. She states that since she had been stabbed by a "white male" she didn't consider Mr. Boltz's actions to be funny. If a black man had brought an axe to this meeting would she have been concerned? I thirik not. Does MSC really need a woman like this? Sincerely, ~ John Griffith , DACC SRC President 1e

In addition to being popular, the event proved to be a good fund raiser for campus clubs and organizations, who ran carnival side show booths with everything from a dart toss to face painting. All of the standard carnival amenities were there: cotton candy, balloons, clowns, dancers, and various and sundry prizes to be won by contestants-young and old alike.

!)eckoning: Good News! The Rabbit Died! by D.J. Owens Reviewer, The Metropolitan

There's a saying in the music business that it takes twenty years for you t-0 put together your first album and you have nine months to follow it up. That saying came about because too many debut albums were really good, only to be followed by an extremely disappointing second album. R.E.M. caused a great stir last year

with their Murmur album. It was voted by Rolling Stone's critics as the best album of the year, and R.E.M. · was voted as the best new group. Well, their nine months is up and it's time for the big test.

R.E!>M's second album is entitled Reckoning. It's not as good as Murmur, but it's not the same style either. The vocals are ..µnemotionally monotone. The dance heat is still very prevalent, yet this album lacks the pointedness and punch of Murmur..

'fhe inter'esting thing about

Reckoning is that instead of having side one or side two or side A and side B, they have side Land side R. There are two possible explanations for this. First of all, they could be dealing with some kind of newfangled, computer-like turntable in which the album is inserted vertically, thus one side is "left" and the other, "right". Or perhaps they .spend a great deal of time lying on the floor sideways; whereby looking at a conventional turntable, " up" would be left and

"down" would be right. Anyway, side R starts off very ~ellow. The up-tempo dance beat, so necessary an element in today''S

new music, does not really shift into gear until the middle of the side. The flipside-side L-is the more lively of lhe two. It contains the jumping jam of Pretty Persuasion, and is guaranteed to cause any sincere dance floor expedition to become a virtual sweatbath. Reckoning is a likable new album, but is certainly isn't the best. Mink Deville's Where Angels Fear to Tread comes to mind as an album in the new music category that puts R.E.M. to shame.

'The guaranteed dancefloor become sweatbath. '

flipside ... is to cause any expedition to a virtual

But the overall impact of Reckoning is very positive. Not a lot' of the pop music repetition-singing the same phrases over and over again. The lyrics are not so easy to distinguish; but, upon listening, one gets a positive feel for whatever they're saying. The initials R.E.M. stand for rapid · eye movement. This is terminology used by psychiatrists in discussing dreams. The sound is similarly dreamlike, especially in the nasal and unemotional vocals that sound strikingly like the Psychedelic Furs. Heavy drums hint the presence of a beating heart; the focus of the songs is never really directed, but more so (as in a dream) illogical and spontaneous. The bottom line of all the new music is: "How easily can it be danced to?" R.E.M. is as danceable as anything coQling out right now. The driving force of the drums and the lack of plastic synthesizers gives this the stripped down, bare essential 0 thrust.

GuitariSt Snubbed At Amateur Night

by D.J. Owens ' Reviewer, The Metropolitan

Soul singer Derrick Brown captured first place last wednesday in the 2nd Annual Ted Mack Memorial Amateur Hour. Beating out a field of twelve finalists, Brown's set included a very sensitive rendition of Al Jarreau's Morning. MSC Student Activities Special Events Council organized the event and, as usual, not too many people attended; it's a shame more of the 30,000 people at Auraria don't know just how much fun a talent night can be. The ~ompetition ,consisted of singers, _ comics, musicians, and dancers. Their enjoyability ranged from intense to questionable, and it is much to their credit that they cared enough to even give it .a try. Without a doubt, the highlight of ~the evening was the four-member brealcdancing troupe named B.P.L. One of the three (non-competing) special guests, B.P.L. mimed and jived to heavy jungle rhythms before turning loose their fish-out-of-water dance technique. The dancing was as disciplin.ed as it was stylized and called to mind images from the TV

show Fame. · Another special guest, (guests?) ventriloquist Nelson and friend Camcho, were (was?) a little less serious and just as talented. It's one · thing to be able to throw your voice, . but to throw impressions places you in a different category altogether. The crowd- was fascinated as this 3-foot wooden dummy sang a few verses from Elvis Presley's classic Love Me Tender. Admittedly, the contestants weren't as refined as the special guests; but what would an amateur hour be if the talent weren't amateurish? The common problem experienced with ·thebsingers in the competition was the ina ility to sing smoothly. Even 1st place winner Derrick Brown's voice showed signs of being a little choppy. The surprise of the night came when the winners were announced. Claiming to have picked the winners on the basis of talent and creativity, the judges chose to neglect the · magnificent classical guitarist Tom Russell. Russell's treatment of his Sparlish guitar was flawless( The second and third place winners were nowhere nearly as polished and professional, and .in my opinion he was the premier talent there.

But, as far as talent and creativity are concerned, he should have been recognized for giving Brown a real run for his money.

SPORTS Helman-Fe11erbom, Part II by Robin Heid Reporter, The Metropolitan

Editor', Note: Thia ii ~ 1eeonJ路half The Metropolitan', intnoiew with MSC Athletic Director BiU Helman and Campua &creation Dinctor Dick

Feuerborn.

The Met: Do you find a tendency today for people to identify themselves more on the basis of their play activity than on the basis of their work? Feuerborn: It used to be that you took a great deal of pride in your work. But we've been dehumanizing work in general, in that you don't have a lot of identification with excellence in your job. So what you're left with is a need to fulfill that feeling of success, and recreation or athletics are a way to go about it. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am to have my job. Hehnan: When I was in the Air Force, my satisfaction didn't come from my job but through my recreation time. I couldn't wait to get home at night so I could go play tennis or softball or run or whatever. The Met: You'd run yourself twice as ragged having fun as you'd even con-

sider doing at work ... Helman: Yeah, and now I've come to realize I probably don't have as much time to do that myself, but I'm meeting a lot of those needs by working in this field. It's not w.ork to me when I'm coaching. When I'm doing the administrative duties that go along with it, yeah, that's sometimes a hassle, but working with athletes or recreators is almost as much fun as getting a chance to do it yourself. Feuerborn: Another nice thing about our job is that there's a lot of room in there for creativity. The reason we're in these jobs is because we're creative people. And it seems like it's an exten-

"When I was in the Air Force, - my satisfaction didn't come from my job ... "

-Bill Helman sion of ourselves how well programs run, how many people get involved, if we come out looking like we know what we're doing. We'd like to have a gauge on smiles. The Met: Do you find people in the recreation field are extremely committed to the philosophies behind it? Helman: Yes, for sure. I think they're

in it for the right reasons if they get that satisfaction. The Met: Where do you see sporting activities going in the future? Do you see a continuing growth curve in the number of people involved in recreation and athletics of all kinds? Hebnan: Yeah, I believe so. It's going to remain an important part, with I think more and more people at least participating, whether it's a very basic form of fitness or competitive in nature. The Met: What does this mean for cities and schools and other governmental-type entities in terms of allocating resources to recreation and athletic programs. 路 Helman: I think it's harder and harder to meet the demand. You find a lot more fitness programs now started in industry. They provide their own gyms now, and pools and weight rooms, for their employees because it's so hard to get it. The rise of health and racquetball clubs is really big.

路 "We're trying to develop a kind of lifestyle people can take with them when they graduate." -Dick Feuerborn Feuerborn: What we're trying to develop here is a kind of lifestyle that people can take with them when they have graduated from this institution, take it into their lives at home, in their jobs. What we're creating is something a little more than just a casual fling with recreation or athletics. What we're trying to say is: take this with you, and demand and expect it from your communities and employers so that it makes you a little more healthy and active. The Met: And when you say, "take this with you,'' what is your definition of this lifestyle? Feuerborn: I guess it's just a feeling that it's absolutely OK to be physically active the rest of your life, maintaining some level throughout your life, as opposed to declining down to nothing in your later years after a high level of participation. The level of competition may change but the participation remains the same. The Met: How can people who leave MSC with t his recreational philosophy demand of their communities more attention to it? Feuerborn: They can be active with their local lawmakers and state legislator5, demanding those kinds of support. Let's face it: recreational complexes and facilities are really an amemty of where you want to live, of your residential area. That's very important. And in your job, I think studies prove you get much greater productivity from your employees when they're happy. Absenteeism. diminishes if employees are allowed to feel self-worth-and that may be something _ as simple as offering

recreational softball leagues after work. The Met: What mistakes do you see being repeated by government, corporate and community recreation departments? 路

''The lottery was meant only to supplement existing budgets, but what's happened is that they've eliminated the original funding." -Dick Feuerborn Feuerborn: Maybe it's low priority in terms of funding. I think th~y need to find out how important it is to employees and constituents, and then react to that, instead of always making recreation the low person on the totem pole. The classic example in Colorado is the lottery. Now that it's become somewhat lucrative, municipal agencies want to use that money for.other areas besides recreation. In addition to that, the lottery was meant only to supplement existing budgets, but what's happened is that they've eliminated the original funding. What happens if the lottery fails? So it has done virtually nothing for recreation. And that wasn't the original intent of the lottery; it was meant to supplement recreation and education, not support it. The Met: So how can athletes and recreators ensure that 'programs are available? Feuerborn: By voicing your opinion to your councilman or employer, or in our case, to the Student Affairs Board. Just be vocal about it.

"We're also taking on a lot of the traditi~l educational opportunities." -Bill Helman The Met: As a coach, what sort of philosophy do you keep in mind when interacting with your players? Helman: I try to get across some qualities-which is sometimes hardthat all stem around showing respect and having genuine respect for the people you're competing with, both on your team and the other team. I stress sportsmanship above all else. And I get in some arguments: baseball players, for example, are too often raised to do a lot of chatter from the benches and it sometimes gets to a real low level, directed toward the other players. We don't allow it; I think no good coach does. I try to tell them all their noise should be positive, directed at their own teammates. And whether they win or lose, at the end and the beginning they should be shaking hands with the other players and genuinely liking and respecting them. The Met: A thing Dick mentioned earlier was that recreational activities give people a chance to pursue cont. on page 17

important part of athletics as well, instilling a sense in excellence? Helman: Sometimes it sounds corny to say that when you get in a work situation your competitive spirit, instilled through athletics, carries forward-but it does. Our society-no matter what end of it you're in-is competitive. And if you learn to compete, yet show that respect and all the other good qualities that come out of athletics, it can carry forward. At the same time, it can be negative if there's too much emphasis put on the end result of winning; then somebo~y carries that into the public sector and that's how they go about their business. It's got to be done right.

MSC Sluggers ·nr~p Bid For Playoff Slot MSC split two baseball games over the weekend with Regis but a doubleheader loss to DU eliminated the Roadrunners from the NAIA District VII Playoffs. Metro lost Friday to Regis 6-3 then won 11-10 in extra innings in the second game. In the victory, MSC squandered a 10-6 lead but catcher Jack Hanna hit the first pitch of the bottom of the eighth inning for a home run. On Sunday, MSC lost to DU 8-5 and 6-5 respectively. In the second game, DU scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for the win which proved fatal to Metro's playoff hopes. - Brad Dunevitz

.The Met: Any parting remarks? Any deep philosphical thoughts? Helman: My omelet was pretty good. Feuerborn: We hold some real niee positions on campus. Helman: Metro State is growing, has been growing, and the different activities on campus are. changing, just like the student population is changing. We're not losing our nontraditional role, but we're also taking on a lot of the traditional educational opportunities, too.
