The Tivoli restoration has slowed again and officials of Trizec Corporation - the Canadian based firm redeveloping the brewery-said the outside access shops won't open until June 1 and the mall interior won't be ope.n before August 15.

According to Perry Coons, director of marketing for Tivoli, the delay is "in the hands of the builders."

He cited a complex procedure used to approve architectural blueprints.

"Everything that goes in here has to be approved by us," Coons said. "So all the plans have to be submitted, reviewed and approved before the builders can start on them."

He said most disputes occur over the colors and signs to be used by the different shops .

"We're trying to keep some consistancy in the center in what, by our

Actual enrollment is down about 100 full-time equivilant students from the ~spring semester of 1984, Sunderwirth said. However, he said, when compared with the plunge in the student population last fall the spring numbers · look good.

However, George Burnham, director of Admissions and Records for UCD, said his school is right where it was a year ago in terms of enrollment.

"We're on par with last spring, which would mean we're on target with meeting our budgetary projections," Burnham said.

He noted, however, that spring enrollment should not be compared to last fall's figures.

"It should not be tied to fall enroll1·1111/.

experience, we find appealing," Coons said.

Regardless of when Tivoli opens, Auraria has already begun to make money from annual rent.

On May 14, 1980 Trizec began paying rent to the Auraria Higher Education Center. Coon refused to comment on the amount of money involved.

"I don't know· how ·much Auraria gets in the terms of the lease," Coons said. "Even if I did know I wouldn't sav because the lease is private, but I trul;· don't know."

However, the lease is public information. According to a copy of the 87 pagl' document, Trizec paid AHEC $48,000 a year for the first three years of tlw agreement. During the fourth year.

AHEC was paid $60,000, and during the fifth year the lease jumps to $66,000 per year for the remainder of the 62 year contract.

By the end of the lease Auraria will have received just over $4 million.

According to Jerry W artgow . executive director of AHEC, in addition to the fixed rent, Auraria will eventually receive six percent of all of Tivoli's income.

The lease stipulates that Auraria will receive only six percent of any money over $2 million for the first five years.

W artgow said all money collected from Tivoli is committed to Student Activities and Parking Bonds.

These bonds fund the Student .,.... Center, the Child Care Center and the student lounges as well as parking operation, trolley operation and money for a new monorail system.

W artgow said the cash flow over 62 years will make it possible to pay off all the debts on the Student Center. <if "We had this rat trap-fire trap and invested nothing into it," Wartgow

said. "The worst possibility is 'that the project could bottom out we would have a building with $30 million in it for free."

W artgow said when tlfo lease is up AHEC can decide if it wants to keep the building as a student center or take over management of the mall and earn all of the profits.

He said Trizec gains because they make enough money in the 62 years to justify the renovation and can then move onto another project.

Trizec' s Coons disagreed.

"With a $25-27 million project a developer won't just let the lease slip," Coons said. "I'd say we'd have a new package signed IO years in advance."

Coons said Tivoli has made an arrangement to use an extension of the Auraria Trolley service to run shuttle service to the Shops the Tabor Center and Larimer Square. Trolley operator Pat Kitowski has been unavailable for comment all week.

Coons said the businesses downtown have been extremely cooperative in an effort to attract more people into the city.

"We'll be running late so it will be possible to leave the car parked and catch dinner and a movie," Coons said.

"Our goal is to offer something different that you don't find elsewhere in Denver. That way we avoid duplication with other malls in Denver."

Coons pointed out that since Tivoli is . a registered landmark, Trizec intends to maintain the feeling of the brewery as it operated at the turn of the century.

Part of that era included an opera house that is being renovated inside the mall. The theatre seats 500 and will be run by Heritage Square Opera House operator Bill Oakly.

The Incredible Hook tow truck is backing up to a late-model Impala while the officer barks into his radio.

"Tows can get nasty sometimes," Hoefler explains. "If the owner is on the scene and doesn't want his car removed, he can become beligerent."

He drives by the young officer to see if he needs assistance.

Then he steers the car down Curtis toward a jumble of storage buildings.

"Sometimes we get a chase and they'll try to escape down these railroad tracks or get lost in the buildings," he says, "so we have to know this area even though it's not part of the campus."

He ad~ that the Denver Police Department is good about assisting if Auraria requests it.

Soon, two more officers wander into Ferguson's office-Lieutenant Ray Wells t/l'ears street clothes; Sergeant James Ferguson is uniformed.

"Police develop a weird sense of humor," says Ms. Ferguson as she recalls a story about a student who broke into the administration building because he was late mailing in his registration. He pried open a window, setting off an aYirm , and left his registration form.

"Then there's the time the bear got loose on campus," says Sgt. Ferguson.

Everyone groans in the harmony of a shared memory. r· Apparently, a trained bear was on campus for some event and it got loose. The bear stepped in mud trying to get into the Rectory and left a paw print on the door.

"We called Denver police to assist," explains F-erguson, "and their dispatcher said, 'You have a what?' We replied we had a bear. Then there was a long pause and he said, 'Right!'"

The trainer caught the bear before animal control arrived, but the next day the ~ustodian refused to enter the building when he saw the big paw print.

Wells adds, "Don't forget the guy who got drunk and forgot where his car was parked. Then insisted it had been stolen."

"Because of the bad fall," Sunderwirth said, "we have to be careful with >,.mr expenditureS. But by being careful and watching our expenditures from here on out the college will be okay."

Sunderwirth pointed to some new programs which may have helped keep the student population at a healthy , level.

"We have over 700 students in the Weekend Edition program." Sunderwirth said. "We feel these are students who wouldn't normally be here. We think that's been a big help for us."

But while officials of both schools said enrollment could still fluctuate, Sunderwirth said he believes the current numbers are not apt to change a great deal.

"Generally speaking," Sunderwirth said, "from here on out things will pretty much even out. Some people will drop classes, some wjll add. I don't anticipate that there will be a drastic change."

DACC officials, however, said their final enrollment figures would not be available until the end of the week.

Sunderwirth said he was pleased with the numbers he had seen, even though they are not final.

"I could feel better, but I could feel a D lot worse."

Parking Director NaITied

An ex- White House consultant and Transportation Department administrator has been selected as the ~ew Director of Administrative Services for Auraria, AHEC Executive Director Jerry Wartgow announced last week.

Richard Alfultis, of Lakewood, served as director of personnel and training for the U.S. Department of Transportation and director of administrative management for the Cost of Living Council for the Nixon administration from 1971-1973.

Most recently Alfultis, 56, was associate director of adminstration for ~olar Energy Research Institute of Golden.

During an interview Sunday, Alfultis said he had no immediate plans for his new job. He takes office February 1.

"I believe if it's not broken, flon't fix it," Alfultis said "I don't know if 1'}nything's broken. I'll have to find that

out later. " The duties of Director of Administrative Services Parking Director include supervision of shuttle operations and, according to Alfultis, "the AGT when it's operational."

The job became vacant last semester when Raoul Gomez moved to Texas.

Nora Cavelli filled the open office and will resume her public safety duties in February.

Alfultis was chosen by a search committee as one of several applicants presented to W artgow for final selection.

"We had outstanding applicants,'' Wartgow said. "We were very fortunate to get Richard Alfultis."

The challenges of problem solving, Alfultis said, attracted him to Auraria.

Well, I guess it's primarily that I can help," Alfultis said. "I've done it and I wst think I can help out."

]a1111ary 30. 1985

SACRAMENTO, CA (CPS)...:.....A new divorce law which entitles Californians to reimbursement of money spent to put their husband or wife through college promises to make education costs part of divorce settlements in other states and keep the California court system busy for some time, experts say.

MSC Government Report How about them Roadrunners! There's nothing like a little basketball blowout to start the year off. Regis came all the way downtown just to find out they aren't the best NCAA team in Denver. Oh, well. Next, we get DU in our snake pit. For those who saw the Regis game in person, all those doorprizes were provided by Metro Student Government, Metro Student Activities and The Auraria Book Center. Thank you Lisa Espiritu, Yoland Ortega and John Turk for helping us promote our Roadrunners.

If you went through walk-in registration you may have noticed that Section "B" was little different this time. "B" was run by volunteers from Student Government, the Metro Cheerleaders and members of the basketball team. These folks made it a point to walk through the long lines at "B" looking for students with problems and questions. As a result registration .appeared to run a little smoother and happier since questions and problems were referred to the right people or answered and solved immediately. This was a strange phenomenon around here as students were giving something back to their school without being paid. This group also passed out pens to those without, folders to those with an armload of paperwork and basketball tickets to the Regis game. Much thanks go to these peo-?le for making registration a little more pleasant and a little bit more efficient.

Here's the big deal at the Board of Trustees this week. Metro's own administration is proposing a change in the Student Center Bond Fee to finance the Telepho~e Registration System. The Bond Fee, $16, that all Auraria students pay, goes to fmance and operate the Student Center, the classroom building lounges and the Childcare Center.

First, the proposal is to change the name of the Bond Fee to the Facilities and Service Fee. I bristled when I read this. It means thatt now, a precedent is being set for charging students additional fees for colleges services that are normally financed by tuition and State Educational Funds. Items that are normally funded by students only, are funded by the College Service fund, your $7 to $28.24 Activity Fee. Students now have considerable control, through Student Government, over how these funds are spent, but here's an additional fee we won't have control over. Why is this so important? Listen.

The proposal also states, "Once this system is paid for, any funds left after payment of the maintenence charge will be placed into the College's general cash revenues." Now, assuming the monthly rental charge for the telephone system is stable at $1,150 and enrollment is stable at 15,000, then after two years when the purchase price of the system of $115,000 is paid, the college will make $61,200 a year profit off of the students in additional revenues. This made me mad considering that the <:?liege already charges the students a percentage of our student fees, on the same order as their proposed $61,200 profit, to administer our student fees.

Is this confusing? Yes, it is. Are the students being taken? I think so. At this point all the facts aren't in. It's Sunday the 27th. But I think I am jusitfied in screaming "ripoff." Here are my gripes.

1) Students should not be specifically charged for necessary college services.

These services should be funded from tuition and state education funds.

2) The College will be making a profit from the additional.fee. Therefore the students should not be paying the school to administer our Student Activity Fee. I should say that I am in favor of installing the Telephone Registration System.

But, please, let's make the funding a little more sensible and fair. The Trustees meet on Thursday. Until then I'll be screaming and asking questions and probably get yelled at too. By next Wednesday I'll have something more to tell you. If you have any questions then call me at 3253.

by Bobby A. James Only a small percentage, approximately 27 percent, of all beginning college and university students will complete a degree program. The larger portion, the 73 percent will quit for one reason or another within their first three years in an institution of higher learning. It is totally without pride that I admit that I am a member of this larger group. I am a college dropout. I never even made it past my freshman year, not because I was stupid, but because I was too smart. I was so smart that I firmly believed I did not need a college degree in order to make my ' fortune in this world. All could be accomplished through those old American standbys: hard work and common sense.

I was wrong.

After eleven years of fighting to make my way in a job market filled with people better skilled and mentally equipped, I decided to return to school, and it was not an easy decision to make. It is never easy tu admit you are wrong. Even the deci- . sion itself produced several problems: how could I afford college? where would I find a school with programs to fit my adult work schedule? would it accept my past educational failures? Even my age became an issue. I wanted to be able to blend in with my new peer group, a priority set up by my years in business. I knew that college study, like life, would require teamwork. The people I worked with in the past who became preoccupied with their acceptance into new job groups did • not produce as well as they could have.

My needs, then, were many. I needed a college with a respected curriculum close to where I lived and worked. I needed a college that was state funded, so that tuition would not be a burden. I needed a college with a varied class scheduL, so that I could become a full-time student and yet retain my job, if only on a part-time basis. I needed a college .that specialized in the adult learner, having a higher meoian student age and teachers accustomed to working with adults and their problems. I needed a college that would accept my past failures and ' judge me only on my work now. I needed a second chance, a miracle.

Like Dorothy, I found that miracle in my back yard.

I found a school that fit all my adult needs, that would provide my second chance: Metropolitan State College. MSC had all that I needed and more. Its central Denver location makes it accessible to the entire Denver metropolitan area.

Not only are the degree programs varied, but the course requirements make Metro ~ an academically respected institution, not only within Colorado, but beyond.

Since MSC is a state-supported college, the tuition for Colorado residents is very reasonable. The cost of getting a degree from Metro will not burden most budgets, and various financial aid programs offered at Metro provide additional economic relief for the student and his family. The varied schedule includes night classes, making it possible to work while attending school. The median student age at Metro is twenty-seven years. The students range from the brand new high school ' graduate to the retiree pursuing a life-long dream, a college diploma. With this mix, it is almost impossible not to meld into the student group. Past academic failures are handled in a fair, equitable manner. Metro's student transfer policy allows students to enter on probation. With his mistakes behind him, the new student is then judged strictly on what he can accomplish while attending MSC. ~ Metropolitan State College is my miracle.

College is not a panacea for everyone's problems, certainly not mine. When I finish school, the clouds will not part, the sun's rays shining magically on my every endeavor. No great voice will issue forth saying "Well done!" -just mine. College is only an opportunity to learn, to be trained, to experience new ideas, and to stretch one's mental horizons. To me, college was an opportunity missed because of youthful immaturity and self-indulgence. So, what is Metro? Metro is my seo ·· cond chance to grasp an opportunity-the opportunity to be a better me.

telling manner which makes the class enjoyable and interesting.

After my class, Robb picks me up to take me out for lunch. Robb is another Metro student and a friend of mine who has set high standards for himself and is a model for me. Not only does he participate in extracurricular activities, such as playing in a jazz band, but he also excels in his studies. Robb has made me feel at home on the Auraria campus and the surrounding areas, as he takes- me to different places each time we go out for lunch. He introduces me to people everywhere we go.

I walk back to my car, passing St. Cajetans on the way. ·Peering inside, I see Robb's jazz band performing. After getting his attention, I wave to him, and he responds with a wink. I leave with a warm pride in my heart. That wink characterizes the friendship of Metro. It means the challenge of learning and per0 sonal growth. It means Metro.

by Tamara E. Dejong I get out of my car and take a deep breath of the crisp, cool fall air. Since I am early, I decide to go to the bookstore and see what's new. Walking through the Student Center, I see a guy selling jewelry he's handcrafteq. I stop to look at some .. of the delicate rings and pins. I continue to the bookstore and check my book bag into a locker. Browsing through the store, I discover a foreign book sale and some new stationery. l leave the bookstore and walk across campus to the Central Classroom Building. I see my friend Beth and talk to her for a few minutes. Beth is the person who first interested m·e in coming to Metro. She showed me all around and helped me to register and buy books: Because I previously attended a small school, the .,. large Auraria campus astounded and frightened me. Beth helped me to feel more at ease.

I go to my English class and get situated in rny writing workshop group. My professor, Mr. Aandahl, divides the class into ~oups of four._ The individuals within each group offer each other suggestions as to how they can improve their essays. This method provides the students an opportunity to correct their errors •before the professor does.

I proceed to the South Classroom Building and go to my Psychology class.

Dr. Davis has another well-prepared lecture. He Is very knowledgeable in his field and he presents the material in a casual, humorpus atmosphere. His lectures are always very informative and interesting.

I continue on to my Colorado History class. I have to give my professor, Dr. Leonard, a lot of credit for keeping me a~ake in his class. In the past, fhave ..~always had a tendency to sleep in my History classes. He presents facts in a story-

Every day every one of us faces a multitude of decisions. Generally these decisions are insignificant; few of us carefully ponder the consequences of choosing scrambled eggs over poached. But to every person there also come decisions that should be deliberated with much consideration given to our future goals and happiness. In my one and twenty years, I have already made two of these more significant decisions, and in each instance I have chosen a course, I believe, that most people would consider reckless. Fortunately, both of my decisions have brought me more happiness than grief, but I cannot honestly say I gave either the consideration due their magnitude. I'm sobered to think of how easily either decision might have greatly reduced my possibilities of attaining my life's goals.

Thanks to Metropolitan State College, I have a chance to turn these potentially devastating choices into a bright and promising future.

My first choice was to quit high school. Throughout my elementary school years I had been a pretty average kid. I liked school, had a few close friends, and received good grades. I planned to go to coOege and dreamed of becoming a teacher.

Then in my junior year of high school everything changed. For reasons I ma never fully understand, school ceased to be the growing, learning, nurturin experience I had loved. I found a place to re-channel my former enthusiasm fo school at JilY newly acquired part-time job. Through working I discovered th freedom that comes from assuming responsibility, and this new sensation wa magnetizing. The lures of the "real world" made my previous goals and values los their feeling of immediacy. I began to dread the time I had to spend at school. I was no longer interested in fitting myself into the dull patterns of "formal" learning. No one asked me to consider what effects my decision might have on m dreams for the future. No one asked me to stay. So, without a thought to how I might feel in later years, my mind was made up. I dropped out of high school.

E:ven though that choice was made without pondering possible consequences, by a person completely unqualified to make such a significant decision, I can say in retrospect that I. made no mistake. I needed some time alone in a neutral environment, so I moved into a tiny secluded house. I spent a year there, trying to decide what I wanted for my life. I re-examined my values and regained some of the self-respect I lost during my turbulent junior year of high school. I didn't find all my answers, but I emerged from my voluntary exile a stronger, healthier person, a person now able to handle her own future with confidence.

I then proceeded once more to depart from "conventional wisdom." At age eighteen I suddenly found myself in the role of wife and mother. I know that there are real disadvantages in starting a family at such a young age. But whenever I compare the negative aspects to the love and happiness that has filled my life for the past three years, I'm still overjoyed that I strayed from the more "customary" path.

Conventionally speaking, any remaining chance I had to return to school should have been lost when I made that last decision. Even if I could find the time and money to return to school without compromising my new family and find an institution that would accept a high school dropout, how could a wife and mother ever fit in on a traditional college campus? By every rule of conformity all my chances to obtain my earlier dreams should have been ruined as a result of my frivolous decisions.

Because of Metropolitan State College, my earlier choices haven't ruined anything for me. Metro's open door enrollment policy enabled me to continue my education when I was ready. I didn't have to undergo additional testing or repent dropping out of high school to obtain admission here. The low tuition made college financially feasible, and night courses provided the time to attend classes without neglecting my responsibilities to my family. The diversity in lifestyles and backgrounds of the students who come together at Metro allowed even a married mother of two to find her own niche on a college campus. Most importantly, I'm having the chance to prove I have the capability to reach my long time goal of becoming a teacher. For now, all I need is that chance.

So, what is Metro? For those who, like myself, are non-conformists and have made non-conventional choices, Metro is a chance to prove we have what it takes to be successful. It's a chance to strive for the goals we put aside when we made those choices. It's a chance to continue to grow and learn and dream. Metro is our chance. I 0

Action Emphasized In Spy Movie

by Tom Deppe Entertainment Editor, The Metropolitan

I have to admit that I was curious as to how Hollywood would bring to , cinematic life The Falcon and the Snowman, Robert Lindsey's bestselling account of Christopher Boyce and Daulton Lee's spying activities that shocked and embarrassed the U.S. intelligence community back in the mid 1970s. ' Would it attempt to glorify its two main characters, products of an upper middle-class California upbringing, as misguided idealists striking out against the injustice and corruption they see around them in the mold of England's Guy Burgess and Kim Philby? Conversely, would it portray them as "poor little rich kids" motivated by thrills and monetary gain?

Director John Schelsinger answers the above questions by concentrating on neither extreme: Instead, he brings The Falcon and the Snowman to the screen as an attention-grabbing spy movie, reflecting his view that Boyce and Lee's story was a "fresh unnerving tale of treason ... part scam, part black comedy and ultimately tragic."

We see Boyce (Timothy Hutton) losing his motivation for the priesthood in his early 20s, leaving the seminary and opting for pre-law studies. As an interim job, he is hired by the RTX corporation (TRW in real life) where he progresres from mail clerk to working in the "Black Vault," a top-secret message relay room.

Boyce's ideals give way as he is exposed to the routine in the "Black Vault," which more resembles a" madcap Three Stooges act than a supersensitive intelligence operation. His illusions vanish as he reads cables detailing th~ CIA's meddling in the affairs of other countries.

Boyce's answer to the shattering of his ideals was to team up with his childhood friend, Daulton Lee (Sean Penn), who is now a dope dealer, and sell information of RTX's top-secret, intelligence-gathering satellites to the Russians.

Hutton portrays路Boyce'in a subtle, low-key manner which is quite a contrast t~ the self-righteously volubl~ way Boyce conducted himself on a 1984 segment of 60 Minutes. Hutton gives a fine screen performance, but never quite brings to the surface the smoldering convictions that led Boyce to become a traitor.

As the other partner in this unlikely, espionage team, Daulton Lee, Sean Penn adds another fine performance as a societal misfit to his collection of movie roles.

Penn's Daulton Lee goes after his new identity as a spy and negotiates with the Russians using the same cocaine-fueled bravado that he used as a drug dealer.

Lee never quite transcends the fact that he is an amateur playing in a prefessionals' game and his delusions of grandeur and drug abuse lead him into actions which ultimately cause the unmasking of the "Falcon" and the "Snowman" ~the code names of Boyce and Lee. By concentrating primarily on the action aspect of Boyce and Lee's spying adventure, Schlesinger never quite clearly defines just what it was that caused two products of what is believed to be the best of what America has to offer, to go so wrong.

Indeed, I left the theater intrigued by, but not sympath!!tic to just what it was that snapped inside Christopher Boyce and motivated him to engage in his futile act of espionage. 路 The Falcon and the Snowman is a gripping dramatization of an actual spying incident in which the truth was somewhat stranger than fiction. It makes for a marvelously entertaining evening at the movies and lets you pass your own ultimate judgement on the morality of its two main characters.

, "Choose Me'' Is A Visual Delight

by Bob Haas Special to The Metropolitan

Sensually explosive, Alan Rudolph's '- Choose Me is a refreshing stimulation.

The film begins with an erotically vague image of flesh tones that are swirled and blended, as if on a canvas.

The shot lasts only a few seconds, but it works as a spark, an immediate jolting .-visual experience that we could look at for hours. It reminds us of good abstract art, as does the rest of Rudolph's film.

Choose Me is not a brain movie. It . does not require ~inking on the part of the viewer. It induces subjective , immersion. The story line is complex,

yet does not require intense effort from the viewer so the concentration can easily remain with the central, flesh tone itnage. Just as with the initial shot, the movie is not trying to tell us anything. It won't alter any opinions, nor cause us to reflect days after we view it. Choose Me is an immediate, sensual experience that combines the comedy of situation with romance of the human condition.

The movie combines crisp ·cinem~tography with an arrestin_ g music~} score performed by Teddy Pendergrass. Choose Me is a collage of fine acting and intelligent dialogue, that produces in the viewer a comfortable warmth and a prodigious impulse to grin in enjoyment.

Choose Me's action takes place in a bar, an apartment and in a radio talk show studio. The film is concerned with its character's search for romance-, love and sex. Rudolph cleverly weaves the movie's musical score into the search for these goals. Throughout the film, characters tell one another, "I want you," to which the music repeatedly echoes, "Choose Me." Eve is an ex-hooker who finds herself standing beneath a neon sign of "Eve's Place," a night club that bears her name. She responds to a romantic impulse and buys the place. Mickey is an ex~spy, ex-war hero an:d maybe or

We learn two things about Mickey.

From the hospital administrator discharging him, we learn that Mickey is confu~ed and distorts the truth. (This scene provides one of the many opportunities to enjoy Rudolph's mastery of his ·craft.) We learn that he "never lies." Your feeling about the movie will differ depending on which of these two you believe.

Dr. Nancy Love is a radio talk show sex therapist. On the air her voice is husky ~nd alluring. She is a personality that "women trust and men fantasize about." .

Off the air she is an empty vessel, drained from the adulation and· need of her fans. She is emotionally and sexually insecure. , Pearl Antoine is a dizzy poet who sits at Eve's bar being cheerful and hoping to catch her husband Zack, who is cheating on her with Eve. Writer and director. Rudolph has assembled a fine cast: Lesley Ann Warren is a strong, v.oluptous and confused · Eve, and Genevieve Bujold is wisely understated as the outrageous Nancy Love. Keith Carradine puts on a fine performance as the disturbing and endearing Mickey.

The film moves quickly, and works on many levels. It does not require careful viewing, but an attentive

attitude will search out the many opportunities Rudolph has-provided to appreciate his talent as a film maker.

Choose Me is a delightful entertaining light comedy and is currently playing an exclusive engagement at the Esquire theater.

Hoopsters Slam Regis 64-39

by Curt Sandoval Sports Editor. Th e Metropolitan

The Metro State Roadrunners basketball team gave the Regis Rangers a taste of "who's the best team in Denver" last Wednesday night at the Auditorium Arena.

MSC whipped the Rangers 64 to 39 in front of an estimated crowd of 800.

In the early stages of the game, the teams were trading bucket-for-bucket as the game was knotted up at nine.

Then, as Herb Darden hit a 15-footer the Roadrunners had run off seven straight points as_they lead 16-9 and Regis was forced to call a timeout.

The Rangers stayed in the game, relying on their big man, Kevin Linder, who finished with 10 points. Linder· brought the Rangers back to tie the game at 18 a piece.

Then Metro exploded for five unanswered points and took a 23 to 18 lead into the locker room at halftime.

In the second half it was all Metro.

Junior Ambrose Slaughter dominated the boards, both offensively and defensively. Slaughter, a junior colle~e Curt Sandoval

transfer student from Moorpark J. C., said he was not intimidated with the size of Regis' team.

"I've played against bigger guys than this," he said.

With Metro leading 39 to 32, Kurt Robinson and Darden led the offensive attack while Slaughter pulled down 15 rebounds.

Robinson led all scorers with 14 points while Darden, w~o averaged 19.2 going in, scored 11. Slaughter was also in double figures with 13 points.

Then, MSC ran off an incredible 22 points to Regis' four before taking the game 64 to 39.

Head coach Bob Ligouri said it was the best the team has played for "all 40 minutes this year."

Darden said, "We're back to playing up to our ability." Ligouri added that he was very happy with the play of the entire team and especially Kevin Trujillo, who came off the bench to put in seven points.

The remainder of the week was good for Metro as well. The Roadrunners traveled to Western State and beat the Mountaineers 78-72.

Indoor Soccer ·u nderway As a Winter Club Sport MSC will see a. new dimension this winter in men's soccer. INDOOR SOCCER that is, played on the basketball court of the PER building.

The new program is a club sport here at MSC under the direction of men's soccer coach HarryTemmer. However, the indoor soccer game .is not new around the world.

"It is the off-season sport for Pele," Temmer said. He added that the game is very exciting because of the high number of shots taken on goal in one game.

He said there is usually a shot taken every 20 or 30 seconds. Temmer added that a "size three deadball" is used, which doesn't bounce much, but enables a very fast game.

The Club held a 13 team tournament this past weekend at MSC in which the

Tangs captured first place. The Tangs are a team made up of primarily the MSC men's varsity squad.

The Tangs beat the Lobos, a team from Albuquerque, New Mexico, by a score of 11 to 7 in double overtime. The game was tied 4 to 4 at the half and 7 to 7 at the end · of the game. Then the Tangs kept the Lobos from scoring in overtime and Phil Denning put in three overtime goals to lead the Tangs to a 11 to 7 tournament championship.

This Friday the Tangs will be playing in a double header game at 7 and 8 p.m. against C. U. of Colorado Springs, at home.

Temmer said he is hoping the soccer community gets behind the new program.

?

MSC swimmers Ted Rychlik and Mike Jones have both qualified for the NAIA National meet in Indianapolis this March.

Rychlik qualified in the 100 meter breast stroke with a time of l :01: 15.

Jones qualified in the 200 meter butterfly with a 2:05:02 time, which also set a new MSC school record.

Head coach John Bockstahler said he hopes at least four or five other swimmers are able to qualify for the national meet. He also said that the team is doing very well this , year on an individual basis but the small size of the squad is what is hurting it.

"We just don't have the numbers," he said. At the present time, the men's team has 10 swimmers and one diver.

However, Bockstahler said, it's tough to score points against. other teams when they have 18 swimmers and two divers.

Another problem has faced the MSC swim team this year as well. The Auraria swimming pool was having maintance repair work done during the Christmas break. Therefore, the team had to practice at Denver University.

"It was very hard," Bockstahler said.

He said the biggest difficulty was the fact that the team had to practice at a different time every day.

He added that the times that MSC was scheduled to practice at DU was often during the Pioneer's recreational ' hours. Thus, the team wouldn't always get the entire pool to themselves.

If things go well, the team is hoping to get to practice back at home by midweek.

We're taking it as it comes," Bockstahler said.

As for the women's team, they too are plagued by a lack of team members.

The women have yet to qualify a swimmer for the national meet but

When none other than the Dean invites you to a black tie reception, what do you do? Start borrowing: a jacket here (40 regular), a pair of pants there, and before you know it, you're looking pretty $harp.

And when your formal party is ..... over, there's another one you should ~ --· arrange. Making sure that each ' contributor to your wardrobe gets what he deserves in the form of a Lowenbrau.

After all, isn't any friend worth a cummerbund, worth one of the world's finest bottles of beer?

Lowenbrau. Here's to good friends.
