W artgow .Endorses 'Super Board' ·b y David King Reporter. The Metropolitan

The executive director of the AHEC board told the House Education Committee last Wedn~day that his board supports a plan to create a "super board" to govern Colorado's higher education system, even if that plan produced a merger oetween MSC and UCD. Dr. Jerome W artgow spoke before the committee at the second of three hearings on House Bill 1187. The bill would create a board of regents to govern all of Colorado's higher education.

Wartgow said the problems facing the Auraria campus can only be solved if a governing body is given the authority to coordinate both the academic and n'on-academic functions of the campus.

He described the situation of tlie AHEC board as frustrating.

"We (AHEC) are advocating it (HB 1187) because it provides an ultimate decision making board," Wartgow said.

Rep. Wayne Knox, a member of the House Education Committee, said

AHEC had a lot to do with.the need for HB 1187.

"I kind of jumped on him (Wartgow) during the hearing because they (AHEC) seem to be at the bottom of most of the problems," Knox said.

Knox said there is little legislative support for HB 1187 as it is now. He

Legislature said the legislature is leaning toward strengthening the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, a commission already functioning with limited authority, rather than creating the new "super board.': . ""Of course, the way things jump around, that could change tomorrow," Knox added.

Knox said the proposal was designed to limit the number of governing boards and the conflict between them.

He said HB 1187 not only creates one large board, but leaves each institution with its ' own governing board, defeating the proposal's purpose.

Knox also said that, if passed, the

s,uper board's power would be unlimited, and a merger of MSC and UCD would probably occur regardless of CCHE recommendation. ..I've been fighting a merger at Auraria since most of the students there were i~ junior high," Knox said.

Auraria has been .a popular battle ground for Colorado's higher education administration for years.

W artgow said that whatever governing system ends up with Auraria gets the largest student population in Colorado and that people have to look at any dedsion to be maqe as a business decision, not an academic one.

W artgow also said that a coalition of the schools at Auraria would eliminate most of the problems facing AHEC and create a substantial acade.mic and financial resource.

In addition, he said, current resources from Auraria are being diverted to schools that are struggling.

"If we (Colorado higher education) operated like a business we wouldn't be starving our rising star to keep the dogs alive," Wartgow said.

The House Education Committee will meet again the Wednesday to cont'tnue discussion on HB 1187.

Faculty.Senate Mulls Policy Changes ~

the middle for snow or this or that," she said.

Another reason for the 16 week semester is for funding purposes.

Funding for the college is appropriated #lCcording to the full time equivalent student ratio.

"One credit hour is supposed to be X number of minutes," Holley said. "To get that X number of minu~es you need to have your class meet three times a week for 15 weeks for 50 minutes."

With the present 15 week semester · the school is right on the edge, it does not allow for any school days to be cancelled.

But not all faculty are happy with the idea.

"Some faculty are very upset, because they feel we are working more for less pay. We are working an extra two weeks a year and we will get absolutely no increase in pay for this," Holley said.

The extra week could be used for a final exam week.

Currently final exams are one hour long.

"I now give two hour finals, but I have to give them on two different days, because I have only one hour days," she said.

Holley tests the first half of the course

by Tom Smith Reporter, The Metropolitan

The Faculty Senate is considering a resolution that would lengthen the semester to 16 weeks, make final exams two hours long and drop the NC notation from use.

The resolution, presented at Thursday's Senate meeting, was prepared by the Academic Policies Committed, pro• posed the fall semester begin on the Monday before Labor Day in order to be finished by Christmas.

"You can't have a 16 week semester and end before Christmas," said Dr. Frieda Holley chairperson of the Faculty Senate, in an interview one week prior to the meeting.

Lengthening the semester would also assure that students get what they pay for, according to Holley.

"Some of the absolute chaos in our reluctance to cancel (school) because ~ we realize that maybe We are ~hort­ changing the students," Holley said.

Clajming that students will benefit · from a longer semester Holley said she supports the policy change.

"Now the student may benefit by getting an extra three hours. But it also allows the flexibility to cancel three in

on the first day, and the second half of the course on the second day.

"Many of us believe in comprehensive finals and we also feel that you cannot take a comprehensive final in one hour," she said.

Final exams scare many students, some even opt to take an NC right before the final. An NC can be granted up to the 14th week of the semester.

"I personally disagree with that. I feel the student needs to make a commitment to the course. We encourage the student not to make that commitment by allowing them the chance to get out of the course so late," Holley said.

But not all faculty agree with Holley's attitude, or the proposed changes.

Under the proposed policy change, the NC would be dropped from use and the notations I. \VF, WP and W would be used.

One faculty member said !}te changes would restrict his flexibiltiy in grading, and did not see what he was gaining from the proposed changes.

Chemistry professor Julanne Gilbert, who worked on the proposal, responded by saying that the NC was a catchall grade.

"We're not trying to restrict freedom

to give grades as we're trying to prepare a more academically viable policy," she said.

Another faculty metnber disagreed.

"We are taking a very simple grade that says no credit_and substituting for that grade a whole host of other kinds of things that none of the other institutions can interpret either. Everyone knows what no credit means. It means that you didn't get there," he said.

Others were concerned about the · punitive effect of the p'olicy change.

"The NC allows the student to go 'away and try again, without punitive attachment."

Others were concerned with huw the proposal was going .to deal with people who "audit," or take courses for no credit.

"It has been brought to our attention that the policy doesn't speak directly to people who audit. And that's something we need to discuss. We weren't sure that the NC was an appropriate grade for that category in any case," said EdCooper.

After about a half-an-hour of discussion, a straw vote was taken: And the vote was 23 to 16 in favor of the change.

The Faculty Senate will vote officially on the proposal in two weeks.

Choose Hope Over Dopg_

Jesse Jackson Comes to Colorado

by Lori Martin-Schneider Special to .The Metropolitan

Some may have been curious, many simply dedicated supporters.

Yet the crowd of 4,000 clapped and cheered when Rev. Jesse Jackson SunClay night urged the people of Colorado State University to recruit blacks "other than for football and basketball" for the sake of CSU's development.

"If the school is all white with no appreciation of blacks then it is

of American history without talking of Afro-American history.

Judge Carl Stokes, former mayor of Cleveland and the first black mayor of a major U.S. city, gave a lengthy introduction for the former Democratic presidential contender supporting his long-time friend and colleague.

Jackson was originally scheduled to appear Feb. 17 but cancelled because of . a bout with pneumonia which resulted in a collapsed lung. This was his first public appearance since his

"The students of this university, for purposes of your own education, should not be satisfied until there are students here from ... all over the world," Jackson said. "This generation ... must choose hope over dope."

Jackson said white Americans have basi~ally been taught to isolate black history, but that it is impossible to talk

illness.

Jackson repeatedly pleaded for peace in Nicaragua and in South Africa, saying the responsibility of the new generation is to choose "negotiation over confrontation."

"The struggle is over direction," Jackson said. "Let the record show that 10 million more people will be in poverty under the Reagan Administration, most of which are white females with children," he said.

Jackson said the Democrats must not "lose faith in our youth, must not lose faith in the locked out, and must not lose the commitment to fairness and justice." .

To avoid the sanctions, Massaro has looked at a number of supplemental ideas to the BAC. These include increased use of gasahol, higher truces on gasoline, subsidies to electric vehicles use, increased park-and-ride facilities and lower RTD fares.

Other ideas would get large corporations to consider the four day work week, as well as carpooling.

"A lot of people feel they need their cars for work, period," he said.

"We have about 2,200 employees out of the 11,000 in the city that are operating on four day work weeks," he said.

But, misconceptions have hurt the BAC. "People say because the bad air is always collected over downtown Denver that means it is generated by ; Denverites. And that is a misconception," Massaro said. "Air pollution from Boulder and the suburbs drift down. It all goes to the Central Platte Valley. It moves just like the water drains."

delayed the student government from preparing a new constitution by the deadline set by interim MSC President Brage Golding. The student senate, according to Esquibel, spends too much time "looking at a bunch of nit-picky issues that really get in the way."

OP/ED

February 27, 1985 •

AHEC Cop Story -'Abomination' ·Editor: I must voice my complaints about an article that appeared in the Jan. 30, 1985 issue of The Metropolitan. The headline,. AHEC Cops Pleased-Thank You-With Peaceful, Often Boring Precinct, though wordy, w0tald have adequately expressed the thesis. The article itself was an abomination which served merely to prolong the reader's agony. One wonders whether b<?redom could ever be a newsworthy topic; if it were, would it warrant a page and half of coverage? I think not. The subject matter, however, was the least of the atticle's problems.

The piece is a testament to sexism, racism, and the trivialization of sexual assault.

The most starkly offensive statement in the piece is this: " 'There's a lot of humor in police work,' he says. Then he chuckles as he recalls a sexual offender the police tagged 'The Cabinet Maker.'" After giving an account of the offender's technique, the author goes on. " 'That was original!' Hoeffler says in mock admiration.'' If sexual assault is a humorous part of police work, then something is seriously wrong. Sexual assault is not humorous to the victims, who experience very real terror and degradation. That reminds me of an amusing anecdote about a mass murder ...

As if to compensate for this lighthearted treatment of sexual assault, the article then states: "But inside the technical services manager's office, Lolly Ferguson says sexual offenses make up seven-tenths of one percent of their total calls.

'We have no confirmed cases of first degree rape offenses and only a few third degree (intimate touching) cases,' she says. 'And we're very proud of having one of the lowest crime rates in the nation ... We have a very mature student population.' " These figures bear no resemblance to statistics for any other college campus; they are unbelievably low. As if that weren't enough, the statistics cited in the article contradict and discredit each other. The statement that seven-tenths of one percent of all calls are related to sexual assault complaints is invalidated by another figure which appears earlier in the piece. The earlier figure states that only one-half (or five tenths) of one percent of all calls are related to disturbances at all. In other words, there are two-fifths of one percent more sexual assault complaints than there are total disturbance complaints.

The statement that there have been "no confirmed cases of first-degree rape" sounds as though there have been first-degree rapes reported, but that they don't count because they aren't "confirmed" (whatever that means.) "Only a few" (third-degree cases) is a phrase which is not only ambi~ous, but belittleing.

"Only" implies that the third-degree assaults which did occur were not harmful because there were not "many.'' Finally, the implied connection between a mature student population and a "low" sexual crime rate is unrealistic and misleading. Rape is not perpetrated exclusively by young or " immature" men; it is a crime which occurs across all social, racial, and age barriers.

Making light of sexual assault is not the only offense committed by the author and subjects of this article. The author also includes material which is blatantly

Editor, Is that light at the end of the tunnel or another train coming? After being on the ASMSC J -Board and attending most of last semester and this semester's Senate meetings, it's nice to see that maybe our Student Government is back on track again.

Not much has been done for the students in the last six months. Funds were not available; the students were not ·represented; and damaging impeachments scares flew. Let's face it-a lot has been flying around.

I feel the "real" encumbrance has not yet been lifted. A new paint job does not make a new car. You can see the muck piling up and deoaying by the side of the tracks.

The lack of student appointees and the many vacant positions show the loss of interest in our Student Government. This in turn has to affect our school overall. I am very pleased with our new President, Dr. Magelli, and his real commitment and pride for our school. Hopefajly, some of this will trickle down.

I am not a cheerleader, but, the guy who has had to sweep up after the 'pep rallies. It's hard to look forward with bloodshot eyes-but we must roll on. I Lust hope that the hangover will be less painful than the indulgence.

Looking both ways before crossing, Justice Steven Buhai MSC student

racist. The reader is told of a prank one of the officers pulled to liven up the graveyard shift. He had a real-looking mo~key puppet in his patrol car, so he inched th& monkey up to peer out the window in order to startle the driver of the car next to his. So what-it's just a harmless prank and a harmless story, right?

Wrong. The article specifically states that the victim of the prank was a black man wearing a feathered hat and driving a chartreuse Cadillac. Since this is the only practical joke recounted, it appears as though black men who fit the "pimp" stereotype deserve to be ridiculed.

Finally, the article ends on a decidedly sexist note. The officers are swapping stories "like war buddies retelling their adventures ... Hoeffler stands in the doorway, his blue eyes twinkling." One of the tales which has put a twinkle in his eye is this: "'And don't forget the naked couple in the hatchback.' When the officer asked them to move along, the guy simply said, 'Here's my ID; I'll be done in a minute.' " · Notice the terminology: "I'll be done in a minute." This kind of statement is appropriate only when one performs a task alone; when two or more people are involved, one would say, "We'll be.done in a minute." Obviously, the woman with whom this man is having sex is not accorded the status of personhood; she is an object with which he'll soon be finished. Regardless of its sexism, this anecdote has no place in a newspaper which supposedly represents a college. It would be more appropriate for the Playboy roving reporter.

Why did Th~Metropolitan feature a lengthy article about the AHEC cops and the fact that they have nothing to do? Why were blatantly sexist and racist statements featured in the piece? Why was sexual assault trivialized, and why were the "facts" completely contradictory? If The Metropolitan 's writers can't find anything appropriate about which ·to write, they shouldn't write anything.

Going to such lengths to find a topic and then sensationalizing it is an embarassing tactic which undermines the cr~dibility of the paper, and consequently casts doubt on the integrity of the school. · Sincerely, Joan Johnson Metro student Co-Director, Progressive Action Against Media Abuse

Cop Story Defended Ms. Johnson I ask you, what is the purpose of a newspaper? In my opinion, newspapers exist to inform, enlighten and entertain their readership. The people, places and things which make up the Auraria community are all part of our everyday lives-and it's our job to bring them to our readers.

I agree with you that some of the statements made by the officer are racist, and even sexist. But you are attacking the wrong people. We didn't say · those things - and we don't condo_ne them. We merely brought to our readers an enlightening article on one aspect of this campus.

That some people view sexual assault and racism in this manner is not our fault, it is a fault of our society. At The Metropolitan we respect our reader's opinions and we welcome their input. But in this case I have to say that I think we were right to print what we did. I think you would get closer to the heart of the problem if you reworded your letter and sent it to the officer in question.

Thank You Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan Na.J, DO 1 GET MY MON£Y C3F7Clf?

ASMSC President Lisa Espiritu may not have been wholly accurate in her assertion that the'Student Affairs Board was wasting $1000 on a party, but she 9ased that assertion on all the information available at the time.

The non-communication that caused several students, myself included, to believe that the SAB was squandering a sizable portion of our fees is typical of the SAB over the last seyeral months. Indications are that things will not improve. In the past few weeks the SAB has promulgated an entirely new set of rules governing the budgeting of student fee funded programs. I won't dwell on the fact that these .substantial changes were al~ost totally unexpected, and were made with almqst no input from the people directly affected, i.e. the directors of fee fundeQ programs and the students at large.

It is my understanding that the new procedures eliminate a most important part of the budgeting process, a public hearing at which each program director has the opportunity to present his or her funding request to the SAB in person, and in public view. SAB will now consider a written application· form only, and will, it seems, now make its decisions in a vacuum. Somehow I'm not sure I trust the eleven members of the SAB to make a fair and equitable distribution of over half a

In any event Student Fees are now entirely at the discretion of the five faculty and six student members of the SAB. There are about 17 ,000 of us paying student fees. Are we being adequately represented? Only one of the students on the board is a woman, yet over half the studentry is female. Is this right?1t may take a while to change the structure of the SAB. But as students we must insist on access to information regarding the expendittue of our money. At the very least the minutes of each SAB meeting should be readily available. Apparently the SAB's new policy is to inform people on a need to know basis, and apparently not even the president of the student body needs to know.

Richard Alfultis, Parking Director

by Robert Davis News Editor, The Metropolitan

" Auraria Higher Education The Center board is considering two people mover systems to deal with the parking squeeze that's going to begin next semester.

At its next meeting March 11, the board is expected to review rapid transit proposals from two companies. Both proposals will come from automated guideway transportation companies.

Despite the popularity and efficiency of the Auraria trolley, the board didn't accept a plan from Pat Kitowski, the owner of the trolley, to deal with moving an estimated 1,500 people a day to and from Mile High Stadium.

"We gave them a proposal that said we could handle 'X' amount of people for considerably less than a monorail system," Kitowsld said. "At the point I gave them my so-called proposals it was too late for them to accept more proposals."

According to Richard Alfultis, AHEC's new parking ditector, Auraria's parking problems will mount slowly as a few parking lots are lost at ·a time, starting with lots E and B going Tivoli merchants next semester.

Then lots P and Q will be used as the site for the new UCD replacement

the buck at Mile High."

More spaces for no money, according to Alfultis, because the city isn't charging Auraria for the use of the Mile High lots .

But even free parking spaces don't keep the cost of an ACT in the same league with the cost of the trolley.

"Our proposal wasn't even in the ballpark," Kitowski said, " it was very much less."

Alfultis agreed: "Almost anything will be ·cheaper than ACT. You're looking at a Ion!! down. But if it takes a ·subsidy we're down. Hut it it takes a subsidiary we' re going to keep the cost of parking at Mile High attractive."

Since the parking garage idea Auraria considered was estimated at $7 million AHEC placed a spending cap of $7 million or so" on any potential ACT. "The shuttle is actually cheaper," Schoemer said, "but when you run the cost of 20 years of operation of the shuttle the ACT is cheaper because. there are no drivers (in the ACT)."

JoAnn Saker, director of special projects for AHEC, has been dealing with the two potential ACT companies. She said the locally based Otis company has offered a system that. would pay for itself.

"With the Otis, Auraria wouldn't have to foot a dime," Saker said, "it minimized our risk substantially."

She said the company has offered to operate the system and fund it through fares. Auraria would have to provide a guaranteed sum in the event that ridership was down.

"In terms. of risk analysis it really flips the risk over to the operator," Saker said. "We're not in the tramway business so they know much more than we do about it."

But Kitowskf.; trolley proposal had a similar asset. , " Our proposal did have a kicker in it in that after a certain period of time the system would pay for itself in advertising," Kitowski said.

Saker said fares would be governed

by AHEC to protect the students from being overcharged.

"The fare would be designed to encourage ridership," Soker said.

"We've always promised Auraria people they would have low parking cost so

"With the Otis, Auraria wouldn't have to foot a dime, it 1Jlinimizes our risk substantially. " JoAnn Saker building. Alfultis said construction on that building is scheduled to start in the fall.

Deputy Executive Director of AHEC Jim Schoemer said that out of the 5,000 parking lot spaces an estimated 1,200 to 1,500 will be lost.

"We looked at a parking garage that would hold 1,200 cars and found it would cost us seven million dollars," Schoemer said. "We get more spaces for

fares would be different for Auraria people than for non-Auraria people."

Soker said since AHEC hopes that the city will use the ACT for Bronco games they hope to build a transit station near the East Classroom so people could park in the Denver Center for Performing Arts parking garage and take the ACT to the stadium.

Fair, is competing with Otis for the contract. If Universal won they would · use the same system they had at the fair, Saker said.

She said she expects an updated proposal from both companies this week to be reviewed by the AHEC board at its next meeting.

Alfultis agreed and said he expects a construction date to come from the March meeting. He predicted the system would be running in two years.

"Absolute earliest would be to start engineering in the next six months," Alfultis said. "That means you don't build till .next spring and a system like that can't be built in less than 18 months."

Schoemer agreed with that estimate.

"The objective is, if we can make it, to have a system up one year from this fall," Schoemer said. "Within a month or so it may be that we can get a contract signed with one of these firms and we can get.going." _ Alfultis said getting a system like an ACT takes a certain amount of pushing.

"The more I think about it the more I

think it may be three years (before th1 system is up)," Alfultis said. "But if yo1 say three years it will be three. So if W• put the pressure on some of these pea ple it may be two years."

Alfultis's ability to apply pressure i one of the reasons AHEC hired him Just after the ex-White House transpor tation advisor was hired last month AHEC Executive Director Jerry War tgow said Alfultis was selected for th1 job in light of all the up-comini changes.

Alfultis admits the progresstv, posture of AHEC lured him to the cam pus.

"One of the reasons the job appea1e1 tci me was the number of changes tha are apt to take place in the next fiv years," Alfultis said. "That's wha makes this job exciting, not only to dea with interesting people and interestin problems but to get in on the grouni _· floor."

Along with the parking lot change the city plans to close the Larimer ani Lawrence Streets viaducts within th next four years.

got here," Schoemer said.

With the elimination of th~two streets AHEC plans to improve the pedestrian layout of the campus and add some new buildings, as well as make additions to the library.

Soker said those changes are flexible and at least ten years away.

For now the issues are the AGT and the re-routing of traffic, Soker said.

She predicts the new W azee viaduct, which will replace Lawrence and Larimer, could be open in four years.

Kitowski said the closures could , affect his running trolley service to and from Mile High Stadium.

"I haven't seen the plaI?-s for the new highway but it could cut our route off from Mile High," Kitowski said. "I think Auraria is looking 01,1t for the future. They have their act together.

Don't you think a lot of students will look at Auraria as a campus looking to the future?"

Alfultis agreed that the idea has more to offer than efficient transportation.

"It could even be, now don't.laugh, a tourist attraction," _h e said. "It might even get on Dynasty. It would be big."

Sci-Fi Epic Won't Tax Your Brain

by Rose Jackson Reporter, The Metropolitan

Ready ... stand by .. . blast off!

So begins Battlefield Earth, a mammoth testimony to L. Ron Hubbard's ability to type.

This 1,066-page volume has been made into a movie that is scheduled to be released . this spring. The fastmoving dialogue, swashbuckling characters ~nd action-filled sequences,

which lend themselves to spectacular special effects, will probably make this movie exciting to watch. However, reading this book is like wading through a huge comic book, the characters are flat and the plot contrived.

Teri, a 1,000 pound Wookie-like creature with the face of a gorilla and the disposition of a chain-gang leader on a bad day, greets the reader in the first chapter by stating, "Man is an

endangered species." Teri is a Psychlo, a race of beings that rule the universe . and mine colony planets for raw materials (minerals) to use in industry on the planet Psychlo.

We find out that Psychlos are inherently cruel creatures because of small capsules placed at the base of their brain at birth by Catrists, a ruling class of Psychlo "doctors." These capsules control any emotion that would induce compassion, thereby protecting .. . ..

the teleportation secret of the Psychlo empire. Psychlos are driven to destroy any alien who threatens to discover this secret, or if that is impossible, to destroy themselves. Because of this capsule, Psychlos enjoy receiving and inflicting pain much the same as humans enjoy receiving and giving tenderness.

Jonnie Goodboy Tyler is one of the few remaining humans on Earth. He sets out from his village to discover why many of his people are dying and thosi!' who survive are not bearing children.

Jonnie's village is very near the ruin of Cheyenne Mountain (we all know where that is) where nuolear devices had been exploded centuries before.

Jonnie sets out to help his village and ends up saving the ..universe from the· tyranny of the Psychlos. He leaves his village carrying throw clubs, and riding his horse, Windsplitter. He returns flying a super-sonic aircraft and carrying laser weapons. It is just a little too hard to believe-even for a ·· die-hard science fiction fan.

Teri finds Jonnie wandering on the plains just outside an ancient city called "Denver" and makes a project out of him. Teri wants to prove to his superiors that human beings can be used in the mines and thus save millions of credits (Psychlo currency) on labor for the company (the Intergalactic Mining Co.).

Teri throws Jonnie in a pit, feeds him rats and stale water, and teaches him how to mine. Jonnie, however, survives and learns Teri's culture, including the difficult Psychlo language, and determines to beat Teri at ~is own game and win back the world.

Jonnie then manages to involve the whole Earth, including spunky Scotsmen, putrid South American mercenaries and even some intergalactic bankers who actually look like sharks, in his emancipation plan.

Hubbard's ambition in this work is definitely epic in scope. However, a good editor with a giant red pen could ~ have relieved the publishers of the responsibilty of printing at least 300 pages.

Hubbard writes three or four paragraphs that say the same thing and often has trouble finishing sentences, even those which are not part of· the characters' speeches.

It is hard to understand why someone who has been in the business of writing since the 1930s retains such a shallow approach to science fiction.

Especially someone who claims to rival Arthur C . Clarke's futuristic pragmatism or Heinlein's romantic, spacemen heroes.

This book is good to read if you don't want to think too much-say for instance if you're dozing lazily on a beach_ and baking your body in the sun. · However, if you're into serious science fiction, forget it.

Hubbard's typing . speed probably doubled the summer he wrote this book. I know my reading speed did the· ' week I read it.

Electronic Effects Dominate New Briley Album ,.

Last year Martin Briley came . out with the single "Salt In My Tears" and a slew of other interesting songs off the album One Night With A Stranger quickly becoming my favorite "Next Big Thing in Rock n' Roll."

Now I've heard his ne~ album, Dangerous Moments, and I'm no longer completely convinced. Yes, Briley is a masterful song writer, and I found myself frequently grinning at the humorous lyrics he has come up with, lmt the performance has become

lackluster.

The clearest flaw is in the album's production. All the requisite guitar riffs and drum fills so essential to the success of any good pop album are there, but they are obscured behind far too many mindless synthesizers and flashy electronic effects.

Despite the valiant efforts of Hall & Oates' lead guitarist G .E. Smith, the whole affair lacks that certain snappy feeling that characterizes a hit, tqough . you can tell that Briley's material has

Emmanuel Exhibit Contradicts Title Fiasco, according to Webster's Dictionary, means a failure. When MSC's student show opened, one might have expected such a failure- but that wasn't necessarily tbe case.

The walls of Emmanuel are plastered with the usual carefully rendered, but typical boring full frame, pencil drawn faces. Only a few more personal works stood out.

• Her Choice, by Peter Buena (oil) captures your attention with its full range of vibrant colors. Playful, brisk brushstrokes show us a woman torn betw,ee~ her choice of two men.

Buena's piece won the honor of Best of Show.

Lori Davis Windle had a disturbing piece (as one on-looker called it) entitled Apron Strings (prisma color) . Naked

breasts, feet and hands swarm across the canvas, and are captured in mommas' apron strings. The effect is quite thought provoking.

Suzanne M. Kime gives us untitled (clay) which is a hand holding a head in thoughtful repose. Its colors are a la naturels; blacks, greys, peaches and browns · give the figure a sort of mouldy, un-earthly cast.

There's a very smooth, beautifully rendered, princely looking chair sitting in the back of the gallery. This chair is the work of Scott LeCocq, untitled (oiled ash). LeCocq's piece won 3rd place for excellence in ·the Visual Arts. ' . Fiasco will run through March 7 at the Emmanuel Gallery on the. Auraria Campus.

the potential.

The album's producer is Phil Ramone, whose recent success with Billy Joel's b111oce 11t Ma11 L.P. wolild have led one to expect more. .

Briley can also take some of the blame, since he's one of the synthesizer players. In addition, his vocals don't live up to the potenti-al of his writing. It would be unfair to describe Briley's style as monotone, though it's awful close to the truth. To make matters worse, the songs seem to lack a variety

of style. Briley bombards you with one potential hit after another, though nothing is quite different enough to make a lasting impression.

Nowhere does the album show us another side fo the man-a different style, a slower number, or one that's more upbeat. After a while it brings to mind the similar effects of being forced to listen to one too many K-Tel Greatest Hits commercials in succession .

The team decided to turn their hats inside-out and suddenly, as weird as it sounds, the men blasted in three runs during the seventh inning.

Mark Bryant led off the inning with a walk, followed by Randy Hodges blasting a single to left field to put runners at first and second.

Ronn Wells was then signaled to bunt, in order to move the runners to second and third. However, USC didn't ·cover the bunt and Metro had loaded up the bases.

Then things took a turn f~r the worse. Craig Bonato and Todd Vaughn struck out. But when Vaughn struck out, the ball went into the dirt and Bryant was able to score.

Doug Montgomery came to the plate with the run at third and outs. On the first pitch Montgomery hit a single up the middle to score both Hodges and Wells and put Metro up 3-2.

In the bottom of the seventh, USC got one runner on base before the Roadrunners shut them down. Steve Ciberay got the win in relief of Tim Collins who had pitched the first four innings.

,Hoopsters Drop Two, Fall Below .500 Mark

by Curt Sandoval Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

·

~

The MSC men's basketball team had a tough time this past week as they dropped two games to bring their overall record to 12-13, the first time the Roadrunners have fallen below .500. .... Wednesday night the men dropped a 66-65 overtime decision to the Regis Rangers at the Regis fieldhouse. Metro had whipped Regis earlier in the year at the Auditorium by 25 points.

The loss marked the eighth time this year that the Roadrunners have been beaten by four points or less.

Metro controlled the tempo of the game but couldn't capitalize on free throws in the late stages of the contest.

Another problem the Roadrunners couldn't stop was the scoring of Charles Howell who had 20 points for the Rangers.

Regis' Chuck Wahleim came in to hit two free throws with just 58 seconds left in regulation to tie the game up.

After Metro went ahead Wahleim again hit two free- throws and the game was destined to overtime.

Once again, the man of the hour for Regis, Wahleim, connected on another

pair of tree throws to give the Rangers the lead they would not relinquish.

While Regis was nothing but hot from the line, the Roadrunners missed six of the last 10 free throws. If the night wasn't bad enough, Metro's leading scorer Herb Darden, who averages 18 pt>ints a game, did not start because he had car trouble prior to the game. Darden was held to just nine points for the evening. . The team's luck didn't get any better . as the men dropped to Colorado College Saturday night in Pueblo 90-77 in what coach Bob Ligouri said, "was one of the strangest games I'vll ever seen." .· During the course of the game, Colorado College shot an incredible 45 free throws to Metro's nine. Ligouri said eight of his players were either playing with four fouls or had fouled out of the game.

"We were averaging more than a foul every minute," Ligouri said. He added that the team had out~scored Colorado by eight points from the field, but were beaten at the line.

The men will play their last game of the season against Santa Fe Tuesday night in hopes of ending with a .500 season.
