Reaction Mixed to New D COLUMBIA SC (CPS)- For the first time in memory, University of South Carolina students who are under 19 can't drink this fall. The result, as USC officials concoct a way to enforce the new 19-year-old ',; drinking age the state just adopted, seems to be a sort of chaotic uneasiness. Officials can't even decide how student groups should pay for alcohol consumed at social events, since using activity fee money would be "unfair" to under-19 students, says Mike Shaver of • the Campus Alcohol Project. Even the campus bar is changed. The Golden Spur is replacing beer with pizza just to avoid the hassles the new drinking policy creates. Wild rumors, closed-down campus • haunts, job losses and even complete r- overhauls of college social activities have been marking the first weeks of school as scores of colleges open up for the first time under new legal minimum drinking age laws or tougher on-campus drinking policies. ~ Many experts worry the new regulations are confusing, ill-planned and virtually unenforceable. Alcohol, moreover, is so closely associated with college life that many students simply don't know how to spend their leasure time without drink.,. ing, says Charles Tucker, a University of South Florida socialogist. The rising drinking ages and tougher campus drinking rules nationwide are "sure t9 cause CQncem and turmoil On

many campuses," adds Gerardo Gonzales, a University of Florida counselor and director of BACCHUS, a national group aimed at controlling student drinking. It's "a situation that administrators realistically cannot enforce," he asserts. If schools are going to make the new rules work, they need to provide alternative social activities, says Tucker. Without help, students are left to entertain rumors of undercover campus police infiltrating dorm and rush parties to catch upderaged drinkers. That rumor was so widespread at Arizona State that ASU police two weeks ago had to issue a public <;lenial to reassure students. And University of California-Berkeley administrators last week chastised the student newspaper, the Daily Californian, for running an article that told students how to get fake I.D.'s to obtain liquor despite the university's newly-adopted restrictions. On some cam2uses, new drinking rules are costing students their parttime jobs. At the University of Illinois-Champaign, local bar owners recently predicted as many as 150 students could lose their part-time waiting and bartending jobs if the town government decides to require all liquor servers to be 21. Some observers even fear the new crackdown on student drinking could

The fact that we're a commuter school and not in a ' dorm situation makes it a difficult thing to enforce," she added. Outbreaks of measles 11nd rubella threatened to close several college campuses last year, and there was at least one reported death, Collard said. In Colorado, the situation has not been so serious, Englert said, though ~ there was an outbreak among teenagers camping in Estes Park this summer. e "We're very intent on keeping ;: measles at a minimum in the U.S., even

boomerang, forcing younger students to become "underground" drinkers. Left with no place to legally drink on campus, they warn under- aged students will do more off-campus drinking, more drinking and driving, and be less-inclined -to drink responsibly. "Most of the campus drinking programs are community-wide programs that deal generally with all students," notes Howard Blane, professor of education and psy~ology at ~he University of Pittsburgh. "There's been precious little research done on such pro~ams, and of the little that has been do ' e the results aren't very encouraging,' he says. The nationwide trend to raise all drinking ages to 21 has "shifted the focus from alcohoteducatum to policy enforcement," Go zales complains. "We encourag alcohol education and responsible <¥inking, rather than blanket prohibitidhs," he says. . But blanket pr hibitions seem to be 1 the trend these d~s. While 23 states pad minimum drinking ages of 21 a year ago, this fall the total has clim~ to 27, with a number of states still debating-or planning to debate- raising their drinking ages to 21. And with a new federal law which will withhold federal highway funds from states that haven't raised their

• drinking ages to 21 by 1986, college students can expect further clampdowns as the remaining 23 states with under-21 drinking ages rush to meet the deadline. "I imagine we'll see some pretty hot legislative battles in the coming year," says Bob Bingaman, director of the State Student Association (SSA) in Washington, D.C., whicn has helped student governments nationwide lobby against drinking age hikes in their states. "I personally think (raising drinking ages to 21) is unfortunate," says Pitt's Blane. "If 18-year-olds are allowed to vote, fight in the military, and sign contracts, they should be allowed to drink. We're simply driving student drinkers undercover." Boosting the drinking age, in fact, may not deter student drinking at all, according to a University of Cincinnati study. Student surveys before and after Ohio raised its drinking age from 18 to 19 to show that the percentage of students who describe ·themselves as "heavy" drinkers increased from 14 to 28 percent. The new clampdown on drinking "is an example of linear thinking that does not really meet the problem on its own level," concludes Robert Conyne, study author and director of UCs Alcohol · 0 Education Center.

Student Debts .Soar BOSfON, MA (CPS)-By the time the babies born this year get to college, they may have to pay $45,000 to $280,000 for their degrees and face a huge post-graduate debt, according to a recent accounting firm study. "We've witnessed an increase of more than 330 percent in tuition and required fees over the past 15 years in the public S('.Ctor alone,'' says Clark Bernard, chairman of higher education planning for Coopers and Lybrand, which oonducted the college costs study for the American Association 'Jf State Colleges and Universities. If such rapid tuition increases continue through the turn of the century, as many financial experts expect, "families who have a child this year will probably have to spend $45,000 for a public college education in 18 years,'' Bernard says. The cost of sending a child to a private college, moreover, will run from $140,000 to $180,000, the study predicts. "The implications (of the study) are extremely serious," says Allan Ostar, , AASCU president. "We may well be crea~ng a debtor cliw of students" by charging so much for tuition that students will spend decades paying back their education loans, he says. Currently, the cost of attending a public college averages $15,000, Ber-

nard says, while four years at a private institution runs about $37 ,000. A recent University of Wisconsin study, Ostar says, shows that today's average college student already has a debt of $8200 upon graduation. Compounding high tuition rates is the federal student aid programs' shift from giving students money through grants to a greater dependence on loan programs. Two decades ago, Ostar recounts, about 70 percent of all federal student aid was in the form of grants and other awards. Today, 70 percent of all aid money is in loans which students must repay after graduating. If tuition rates continue to soar and the balance between grants and loans remains lopsided, he warns, "a student's ability tO purchase consumer goods, a car, clothes-just the things it takes to ge't started in life-will be seriously impaired." And future college students facing such momentous debts "may well be influenced in what kind of career they go into based on how well it will help them repay their loans, rather than choosing the field they really want to go into." The teaching field, he notes, could be "drastically" affected by big education debts, as more and more graduates are forced to work in the private sector, where salaries are significantly higber. D

Career Day Introduces Students to Employers >-by Michael Ocrant News Editor, The Metropolitan

Many students complete their entire ec· 'ation without ever knowing what it is like to work in the profession they have been trained for. · ,. "It's a rude awakening to students · who get a degree that they must begin at entry level," according to Ila Warner, a program specialist in UCD's academic affairs office for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Warner, along with seven other • reprentatives from MSC, UCD and DACC, helped put together Career Exploration Day, scheduled for today in the Student Center between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The day is designed to help students decide what they really want to do, according to Julie tfughes, of Career Planning and Placement Services. Hughes, who coordinated the event, said more than 30 companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations will be on hand to answer such > basic questions as, what specific skills are businesses looking for, and what a particular job entails on a day-to-day basis?

Colo. Scholars Applications Due

The application deadline for Colorado Scholars is fast approaching, and· students interested in applying for the awards should check with their major ~ departments. Awards are available through all departments at MSC, and money has also been set aside for undeclared majors. Students must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, be classified as a r Colorado resident, be degree, seeking and be in good standing with the MSC financial aid office. According to Carol Garnett, assistant director of financial aid, over $492,000 is available for awards this year. . Garnett also said most departments t:.. have set their deadline around the end of September and are now taking D applications.

"Many (student) accountants don't know what staff accountants do," Hughes said, anq representatives at Career Exploration Day will be able to tell them. This is the second year in a row Hughes has put together the career day, which is paid for entirely by the businesses participating in the event. _ Last year, Hughes said, more than 900 students attended Career Explorat~n Day· Many came for the

workshops and seminars that are part of the day's activities. This year 20 workshops are scheduled throughout the day; they cover subjects ranging from how men and women can dress for success, to future job trends. Last year's workshop on mens career fashions was more popular than a similar workshop for women, Hughes said. But the real benefit of the career day,

UCD's Warner said, is that it "puts students in touch with reality" about particular jobs and the job market. And, Hughes said, liberal arts students may get the greatest benefit from the direct contact with employers. Engineers and accountants she said, generally know what they want to do. Career Exploration Day can help students studying for "non-technical" degrees learn what kind of jobs to Look for, and to expect. D

Every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m., sharp civil defense sirens around Denver wail their eery song. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's a grim reminder of a nuclear threat many people would rather submerge in their subconcious. Paula Purcell-Laird, a young legal secretary with two small children, can't forget this threat. She is on the board of directors of a group called W.A.N.D.-Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament. "Our slogan, this year and forever," Purcell-Laird says, "is that children ask the world of us. We are offering no future for our children and they know it." She quoted startling statistics. Between the super-powers (Russia and the . U.S.) there are 50,000 nuclear weapons with a capability of killing the earth's population four times over. W.A.N.D.'s stand is for a bi-lateral, verifiable freeze on the production and deployment of nuclear weapons. "I had a recurring dream when I was quite young," Paula said, "three or four years-old. The bombs had dropped, and I·was the only one left. I had hidden in a refri11:eration tank." (Paula's father was a refrigeration repair man). . W.A.N.D., a nation-wide organiza-

Manitors Anns Race

tion for women and men, was originally begun by an Australian pediatrician, Dr. Helen Caldicott. She was largely inspired by her husband, Bill, who felt the planet could survive only if a role reversal between the sexes took place. He believed men should tune into their more feminine, nurturing sides and that women should concentrate on their masculine, powerful selves. He said a combination of these two ideas could, hopefully, save the planet- a nuclear freeze being the first big step forward. Dr. Caldicott later moved to America because she felt she could more actively oppose the nuclear race here than in her own country. According to Paula, W.A.N.D. offers education and empowerment. They have literature on weapons systems, star wars, even the psychology of the hate relationship between the U.S. and

didate, they do encourage people to vote. Bus placards seen around town carry the group message- "It is Your Priviledge and Responsibility to Vote." W.A.N.D. also plans to host a fund raiser on October 7 at the Rainbow Music Hall. Though the entertainer has not been confirmed at this • time, they hope to raise money to produce radio commercials that will encourage people to vote. Purcell-Laird said her feelings on this voter registration drive are best summed up by an editorial she chanced on in the July 9 issue of Rolling Stone • magazine. "If the anti-nuclear movement was a mature, fully developed operation it would deliver the kind of retribution at the polls that politicians fear.'' W.A.N.D. meets at the Evanston United Methodist Church, 2122 S. Lafayette, every first and third Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Meetings feature guest speakers (once a month) various films, and literature pertinent to the nuclear artns controversy. The group demands only an • -individual's time and energy; fees are not necessary. For Purcell-Laird, W.A.N.D. has become one solution to a term she coined from Dr. Caldicot- "psychic numbinjl". "It's the Ostrich Syndrome. Nuclear ., war is so horrifying most people just turn their back on the whole idea." D

Legislatllre Committee To Hear Student Reps.

,,.

Editor: October will be the Auraria students opportunity to explain their educational needs for the coming years. A legislative study committee is currently in the process of evaluating Colorado's educational system. It is expected that Auraria student representatives will be permitted to speak during their next visit. To those of us who may or may not care, 1984 marks the fourth attempt of the legislature and the unseen (you may remember the shadow) to reorganize higher education in Colorado. For anyone attempting to think while reading this, I'm talking about our educational future or lack of it. · Now then, besides the lack of information available to students on this worthy cause, one tends to wonder just what the causes and powers that be are actually trying to accomplish. No disrespect to the study committee intended. During the latter half of the year, a committee composed of majority and minority party members and lay (those who have no motive) citizens have been travelling throughout Colorado listeV1ng to testimony of behalf of education. But those who are studying Poli-Sci know that on behalf of, sometimes refers to the people giving testimony. Such is life. On September 4 the committee visited Auraria tQ go through the routine. I know, you were fully aware that this was going on. Anyway, much to the dismay of some of the students presen~, countless testimony on behalf of who know who

:\1 S(~ ( •>\Pl1lll)(:'Jlt }~elX>It Editor: Now we all know that student fees has a reserve of about 300 G's. Well, this is very nice. But, now that the word is out it seems that all the vultures in town are drooling over the spoils. Suddenly people whom we never see are all over the place lobbying for bucks. Sort of reminds me of tow trucks at an accident. J Well student fees amount to a million dollar pie, and a bunch of people, mamly non-students, are making nearly all the requests for the money. The requests are always for their own programs or special interests. This means that other people are trying to decide what students need and want. How do students decide what

was heard. In this par..ticular case, it would seem as though reorganization had more to do with who controls and directs what schools. One would think that when someone reorganizes something it is for the direct benefit of those it serves. That's us, the students. . Nonetheless, six hours of defensive and offensive speech is more than mostpeopie can swallow. For a brief, passing moment I thought I was watching a football game and the Broncos were losing again. During this eventful day, I'm sure the word student couldn't have been mentioned more than ten times and five of them were from the mouths of students, one from the chair of the Metro Music Department and once from the Trustees of Metro State. Whatever, what I think I'm tryin£ to £et at is the need for .students to sav something. Fine, let them reorganize all they want; but damn don't let them throw our schooling for a loop. Vue to the ettorts ot Several Student representatives the study committee has agreed to allow the students, all of us, from all three schools, to speak during their next visit to Denver. This visit, if presented prooerlv on our behalf, should ¢ve us the opportunity to explain our financial, academic and environmental needs. For further information contact your student representative on the third floor of the Student Center. If you feel your sheepskin is only paper, give it some thought. Joseph DeLeo

they want and need? The Student Affairs Board is the primary decision making body on the use of student fees and has a majority of student Senators as members. The students are Linda Bruce, Scott McMillian, Tammy Williams, Don Morris, Steve Wrenshall, and Ben Boltz. These poor students have their hands full evaluating all the money requests and on top of their other Senate duties aren't in a position to do much metre than d~ide on requests. Let me suggest to MSC students how they can approach the SAB successfully with a proposal to use the funds. First, get hold of Student Government and we will take steps to get you on the agenda and in cont,ct with the right people. Next prepare a complete proposal with a description, rationale, facilities and equipment required, a_plan, feasibility and budget. If you take the time to do the legwork and research, the proposal has a better chance of being seriously considered and approved. We have a big pile of good ideas that aren't attached to a • / human. If you'r_e willing to do the work nothing is impossibl~. Special warning to Bill Emeson. A monster has been sighted in the South Platte by a student Senator. It has big buck teeth, I mean BIG. So don't kayak there. ~ave Sutherland V.P. ASMSC and Cub Hater

she said, her abrupt reaction

"The student who was cheating lost face," Hill erplained. "It's one of the worst things you can do to these these students"

Today, Hill said, with more than five years of erperience teaching English to Southeast Asian refugees, if she knew a

student was cheating she would ask that individual to come to her ofice after class. "The first thing I would ask that per.L son," Hill said, "is what his or her family would think." In the Southeast Asian cultures, Hill erplained, and individual's actions are considered reflections on his entire family. Knowing about such culturd dif' ferences is necessary for all instructors who teach foreign students English as a second language, or ESL students. The influx of refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in recent years has made these students a majority in ESL , classes. ESL teachers therefore, have

The splitting up of families may be one of the most difficult problems facrd by refugees from Southeast Asia, who have tra&tionally close family ties. The separation of students from their Iamilies can also make teaching difficult for ESL instructors, because some of those students may be depressed to the point where their mood negatively affects their learning ability. Cindy Lawrence, an MSC ESL instructor for low level English students. said one man she knows almost didn t speak for six years because he had no family or friends here when he came.

Hill said, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on students to succred. Because the families must pay as

Pafty Havill, another MSC instructor, said one time she was ryeaking to her class about childhood and. ss an example, gave a seemingly innocâ&#x201A;Źnt actount of a childhood er!rcrience.

BOOK A-Dazzling Leap Into Fantasy By Rose Jackson Reporter, The Metropolitan

Imagine a grt>at cityl Sound familiar? Carry the thought through some and you'll get an idea of the golden picture Mark Helprin paints in his new novel, "Winter's Tale". Imagine the sight of a utopian society rejoicing in its justice. 700 pages of narrative and Helprin doesn't miss a single description.

H elprin, like an oil painter, splashes words on a paper canvas, layering color and texture.

The main character of the book is the city of New York. It's portrayed as a thriving entity growing to a state of benevolence , composed of the inhabitants' souls: There are young women, sometimes too beautiful and wise to live long; young men, who work and love in·the city and through whom

the reader feels every ache and ecstasy and lunatics and murderers who devour the weak and then are eaten up by their own lusts. This book, however, is not about a \ great war between good and evil or :a great explorer who founds an ideal homeland. Rather, it attempts to pieture the evolution of a city purging itself and synthesizing its brightest elements. It is a study in contrasts. The book opens with a dazzling white .horse, a statue come to life, exploring the 19th century cobblestone streets of Manhattan. He meets Peter Lake, as Lake hurls his exhausted body over an iron fence into the hors.e's path.

Lake and his mount then meet a young woman who can interpret the stars and see through the future. However, Beverly Penn burns with a consumptive fever and dies soon after they marry. Beverly's spirit, though, returns in the life of a young woman from a place where winters are harsh and people are ~ strong. ~ Helprin reincarnates characters as the years pass; technology advances but the people, hence the city, remain the same. · The city evolves through fire and ice. In the summer, fire literally blazes down blocks of slum housing-tenement children burst in the blasts of heat Lake is an ex-gang member turnea and their crazed parents applaud th~ renegade thief; and Pearly Soames, the spectacle.

All in all, though, this book makes excellent reading for cold winter·

MSC/ Goes Kinetics Kinetics has always been a strictly Boulder affair mind you, and of course, anyone worth their Vuarnets know that Boulder is better. Much better. Boulder is so bad in fact that Denverites had a hard enough time -,following their Fifth Annual Kinetic Sculpture Challenge last Saturday much less trying to understand their jargon. This simple Denver college newspaper reporter, for example, got pushed around like some little gnat and was refused to even interview our own ,.MSC teams. Metro had two entries. Not the creative Boulder names- "Holy Amphibians! Is this the way to Gotham City?" or "Journey to the Bottom of the Reservoir" -just Metropolitan State College, entry number 40 and The

Metro State Roadrunners, entry 29. From the humble ranks of the Mechanical Engineering and Technology Department Dale Brophy, Irene Kolbe, Hank Skinner, .Jim Bloemen, and others braved the ridicule and jeers and sported a craft that seemed as viable as any of the other " Kineticists." Officially the results weren't that out of the ordinary: The Kawasaki Kops and Kons broke the old record with a time of 1:10:45. The Atroycious Horse won the High Visibility Award and Potential Motion was the overall Grand Prize winner. As for Metro's entries .. . well ... Denverites just don't seem to comprehend these wacky Boulder o' customs.

Rory Ogg's hat-trick and a goal by Amy Shute led the women's soccer team to a 4-2 victory over the Umversity ot Colorado Saturday ·at home. CU got on the scoreboard first with a goal four minutes into the game. The Roadrunners answered.· with tough defense and aggressive offense, leading to Ogg's first of three goals. Shortly before halftime, Ogg struck again kicking the Roadrunners out in front by one goal 2- 1. CU quickly came back with a goal of its own, putting the half time score at 2-2. Both teams were evenly matched in the first h~f, with MSC taking only two more ~ shots on goal than CU, which had 13. However, the Roadrunners roared into the second half completely dominating the bumbling Buffs. Ogg scored her third goal of the game, succes.5fully completing her hat-trick. Although CU tried to fight back, its players had given in to exhaustion. Then Shute, at left wing, struck the final blow by scoring Metro's fourth goal. Saturday's victory over CU was the women's second win of the week. Wednesday they blitzed the Colorado School of Mines by a 5-2 margin. After shutting out Mines 4-0 in the first half, MSC added one more goal while Mines came back with two goals of its own in the .. second half. Thursday the women will take on Colorado College in Colorado Springs, and then travel to Laramie to play the University of Wyoming. - Diane Koogle

In a 2-0 shutout at home, the p0werful men's soccer team defeated a hard-kickin~ St. Thomas (Minnesota) Saturday afternoon, for MSC's third straight win. Both teams were equally matched in skill a~d speed, with tough defenses limiting each team's shots on goal, especially during the first half. Forward Marty Richardson's aggress~ve fast-break threatened St. Thomas's goalkeeper several times, as the visiting team's fullbacks chased him toward the goal. However, it was midfielder Tim Vetter who eluded the ,; St. Thomas defense, finally scoring Metro's first goal in the middle of the first half. St. Thomas came out shooting at the beginning of the second half, taking twice as many shots on goal as Metro, 14 to 7, but failing to score. The majority of the time both teams battled for the ball at midfield, each player trying to out maneuver his opponent. Once again an MSC player, forward/midfielder Greg Sumlin, successfully penetrated the St. Thomas defense scoring the second and final goal of the game . . This afternoon the men wi,11 play Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Saturday they will travel to Albuquerque to challenge the University of New Mexico. - Diane Koogle

by Curt Sandoval Sports EditQL The Metropolitan

Junior Catherine Guiels was named to the all-tournament team at the Fourth Annual Wendy's-Regis lnvita~ tional Volleyball toutnament last weekend in which MSc posted an impressive fifth-place overall finish .Guiels said she was very pleased with her blocking as 'well as the team's intensity throughout the tournament. Head coach Pat Johnson added that she was happy with the women's play all · weekend. In the seeding rounds held Friday, Metro beat Kansas Newman 15-10 and 15-6 and Southern Colorado 15-3 and 15-1 but dropped a close match to Mines 14-16, 16-18. Thus, MSC was the second seed from their pool into the championship bracket held Saturday. In the opening match of the championship rouncl, MSC fell to a tough Eastern Texas State. The Roadrunners. took the first game 15-11 but dropped the next two 12-15 and 9-15. Metro then faced Montana Tech. The Roadrunners took game one easily 15-8. Metro looked as if they were going to roll over Tech in· game-two as they opened up a 7-1 lead. However, Tech fought right back and ,tied the game up at 8-8. MSC freshman Anneta Ryberg look-

In the opening game of the match, Metro was hot as they held a 3-0 lead but suddenly turned cold as Regis fired back to go ahead 6-4 when Johnsop called a time out.
