Rumors about impending layoffs at the Auraria Book Center have led to discrepencies in the views of management and workers about the rumors and to claims that purchasing· and inventory methods used at the store are inefficient.

The rumor that layoffs at the l:enter were imminent, partly due to enrollment shortfalls, first circulated around some parts of the campus more than a month ago.

Since then several employees, asked at random, confirmed that supervisors informed them that layoffs were a possiblility.

One six-year employ~, Kate Sharp, an administrative clerk, said her boss told her management would "do whatever is necessary" to cut costs, The surplus in books at the Auraria Bookstore warehouse has led to including trimming hours and laying employee allegations that the center's inventory system is amiss. off workers.

A campus committee comprised of all potential users of the proposed Auraria fieldhouse is being formed to study the implications of building the arena.

Last week the Student Facilities Policy Council allocated up to $ 8,000 to hire an off-campus consultant to look at the feasibility of building a 5,000 seat arena at Auraria.

However, the campus committee will study the proposal before an outside consultant is brought in.

SFPC Chairman Ken Cole said last week that he hoped to have a student vote. on the proposal-which may be

Lamm -Urges 'Superboard' Support

The House Education Committee heard more than four hours of testimony from speakers including Gov. Richard Lamm in its final hearing on House Bill 1187 last Wednesday.

The hearing was the last of three on the bill which would create a governing board responsible for all higher education in Colorado.

Wednesday's hearing opened with an appearance by Gov. Lamm, who testified in support of the controversial bill, citing a need for immediate change in the current system of higher education administration in Colorado.

"If that (HB 1187) reached by desk, I would be honored to sign it," Gov. Lamm said.

But he added that .input received by his office reflecting a lack of legislative support for a single governing board made passage of the bill "not politically feasible."

As an alternative, Gov. Lamm said

strengthening the existing Colorado . Commission on Higher Education could solve many of Colorado's higher education conflicts. He said the GCHE would have to be given fiscal, planning and program authority.

Also testifying at Wednesday's hearing was Michael Moore, chairman of the CCHE and former chairman of the Higher Education Committee which

Legislature heard more than 100 hours of testimony during 21 public meetings on the condition of Colorado's higher education last year. The HEC's report was used by the legislature in drafting HB 1187.

"Everyone is responsible, but no one is responsible," Moore said of the state's higher education administration.

"We (HEC) don't believe it (higher education) can cure itself without structural change," he added.

Holley also questioned the ability of the board to understand all aspects of an issue due to the number of decisions it would be responsible for making. ,..

She told the committee that the MSC faculty was opposed to being governed by the University of Colorado Board of Regents which would act as the interim governing board until voters passed a bill allowing fhe election of appoint. .. ment of a permanent board. She also pointed out that if voters faileq to pass the constitutional amendment, the CU board would remain in control of Colorado's higher education.

"Voters selected them to be advocates of CU not to determine the direction of higher education in Colorado," Holley said.

She also expressed concern that HB 1187 does not limit the amount of funds that can be transfered from one institutiQn to another by the governing board.

"All too often the funds generated by undergraduate FTE are used to support graduate programs," Holley said.

A recurring concern during Holley's testimony was the ability of MSC to retain its identity separate from UCO under a statewide governing board.

She said that although the HEC

Bill Would Regulate Texts A bill that would eliminate the authority of faculty members to decide what programs are offered at state colleges was approved by the House Education Committee Wednesday.

House Bill 1219, initiated by the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado, would make it possible for the trustees to change a college's role and mission without the consent of its faculty.

The Education Committee heard opposition to the bill from representatives of the Colorado Education Association, the Colorado Federation of Teachers, the Metropolitan State College' Faculty Association and the MSC Faculty Senate.

Originally, the bill eliminated the authority of faculty to determine what courses would be taught at state colleges and what books would be used in those courses. The committee amended the bill, however, to limit the trustee's decisions to degree programs and made ,. it necessary for them to act with the advice, but not the consent, of faculty.

~

~

Freida Holley, president of the MSC Faculty Senate, told committte members that the amendments made the bill "better, but still not acceptable." · · Richard Laughlin, president of the Consortium of State Colleges, responding to a question from Rep. Philip Hernandez, denied that the bill was a possible attempt to subvert faculty input into a proposed reorganization of MSC. Laughlin said the bill is designed to amend an outdated Colorado statute and clarify the trustee's responsibilities.

The existing statute demands the consent of faculty in prescribing courses and books used at state colleges.

"This is a faculty input that we sincerely want to protect," Joan Holden, a representative from the Colorado Education Association, told the committee.

The Education Committee's approval sends the amended bill to the House Rules Committee from where it will go ~o a hearing before the Colorado House of Representatives.

MSC Election Committee Formed The Associated Students of MSC Election Committee has been established in light of the upcoming student government elections. .; According to election commissioner Douglas Mewis, wallet size photos and autobiographies from candidates will be accepted until Friday, March 16.

Mewis said the information is volun-

stated that the roles and missions of MSC and UCO should be preserved, HB 1187 does not guarantee that seperation because it gives the "superboard" the authority to combine or abolish managing boards.

Holley said the Faculty Senate wants MSC to be governed by a board dedicated to baccalaureate and limited graduate degree institutions, or by a board responsible for MSC alone.

She also testified that many of the problems at Auraria have been exaggerated. She said most of the administration's energy is spent on internal problems, not problems developing from working on a shared campus.

"If you decide that you must 'solve the Auraria problem,' · I request that you determine the problem at Auraria that you are trying to solve,'' Holley concluded.

Professor Gary Holbrook of the MSC speech department also testified before the Education Committee last Wednes· day.

Holbrook said many of the problems at Auraria were caused by AHEC and said the campus would be more efficiently managed by MSC. "We (MSC) would turn to what is really sensible-quality education, not monorails," Holbrook said, referring to the recent _announcement by the AHEC

Board of plans to buy a monorail system and install it between Auraria and Mile High Stadium.

He later described AHEC as taking a "Disneyland approach" to higher education.

"AHEC is the one board most easily disposed of," Rep. Wayne Knox said, agreeing with Holbrook's assessment.

But Rep. Sandy Hume disagreed and said the efficiency of Auraria was due to AHEC. Besides testimony describing the problems at Auraria, there were suggestions of alternative ways to manage MSC and the downtown-campus.

Michael Moore recommended making UCO a graduate institution to eliminate conflict and competition with MSC. He suggested MSC r~main independent and assume the responsibilities of AHEC which could then be eliminated.

Professor Harry Temmer of the MSC electronics engineering technololgy department suggested merging MSC and UCD into one institution called Denver State University . .

The House Education Committee applauded with relief at the end of the final day of testimony, and the Chairman, Rep. Jim Sherer, announced that they would act on any amendments and give a final ruling on HB 1187 this Wednesday.

enrollment figures.

And because the store is approaching its slowest season, he said , cutbacks in hours will occur and some layoffs are possible.

He wouldn't however, say specifically that the Book Center's staff will be cut, or by how much, but that hours would have to be adjusted.

Employees, if they are to be laid off, 1'urk said, deserve to be given a written notice as much in advance as possible.

It would be unfair, he said, for employees to read about job losses at the book store in the newspaper.

Any layoffs that are considered would be proportionally the same as in years past, Turk said, allowing for the traditionally slow time of year.

While no future layoffs can't be promised, for now budget reductions will come from elswhere, Turk said.

Currently, he said, the bookstore is minimizing inventory, examining its variety of product lines to see where it can be reduced and buying from fewer vendors to diminish paperwork.

In addition, the Auraria Book Center recently joined a buying cooperative, which includes 52 stores in 11 states, in order to get more competitive bids, Turk said.

But as part of standard policy when enrollments are falling, Turk said, there is now a freeze on hiring civil service employees who, as permanent fulltime employees, receive essentially guaranteed hours, insurance and other benefits which cost more than hourly workers.

Also, he said, employees who leave the store are not being replaced.

While Turk's responses stifled layoff rumors, other issues concerning management of the bookstore surfaced ..

Several employees said they heard

the center was overstocked with merchandise it couldn't sell and that that might be contributing to any problems the store may have.

Part of the overstock included a stockpile of books the store couldn't get rid of, sources said.

Two weeks ago Jan Pierce, book division manager, said the books in question were sale books, which are usually slightly damaged and purchased, then sold, at a discounted price .

"We have a few more (books) than there should be," Pierce said, " but that happens to every buyer. There's not a lot of money tied-up in them."

Sale books, Pierce said, "are purchased when you can get them," because " they aren't around all the time."

According to Patty Miller, of the Tat-

"We reach a point of diminishing return . .. The academic cycle produces disappointments. Now there are fewer hours through July; we've never been able to keep everyone employed that wants to be employed. " tered Cover Book Store, however, sale books of the type Pierce purchased are "always available."

Pierce said the books now in stock will be sold in the spring for promotional sales.

Turk confirmed the strategy of offering the sale books after the spring buyback of textooks and said about 90 cases of damaged books were in the warehouse.

But one bookstore employee with more than three years on the job, and who spoke on conditon he not be identified, said as many as 400 cases of sale

The source claimed purchases at the store are often made randomly and that managers are unaware of the inventory they have.

It was also learned that aften an "all you can carry" book sale last year, half the books went unsold and were subsequently thrown away.

And it was alleged that 75 cases of 4-subject notebooks, which can be delivered in one week, were in the warehouse for close to a year.

Turk admitted that some items were overstocked, but, he said, that is to be expected.

"We're jmperfect," he said. "We have no crystal ball to tell us what enrollment is going to look like, so sometimes we' re going to under buy and sometimes we're going to over buy; when enrollment falls the propensity is to over buy."

Other explanations were more specific.

The sale books, he said, were purchased from the wholesaler on a nonreturnable contract to get them for less, because the store assumed 70 percent of the books could be sold.

"If 70 percent can be sold we'll buy · non- returnable and the books will necessarily accumulate, and then we'll

books were in the warehouse and that some of the boxes had been stored for several years.

With Turk present, a recent count at the warehouse proved there were approximately 300 cases of the books, with each box ranging in value from between 70 to 180 dollars.

The books represent two- thirds Df one percent of total sales, Turk said.

Other items, from paper products to pens, are stocked in huge quantities, and it was confirmed that some of the merchandise-perhaps 50 percent was sitting on shelves for two or more years:

But at least part of the problem may be the inventory system, which one employee called " nonexistent."

To get an accurate picture of the ..,.. inventory, Turk said, he must pull a file and take a count down at the

"We're imperfect. We have no crystal ball to tell us what enrollment is going to look "' like, so sometimes we 're going to under buy and sometimes we're going to overbuy; when enrollment falls the. propensity is to over ' buy." warehouse.

"It's not the best way to do it," he said.

A new semi-computerized inventory system should be installed within a year, Turk said.

According to the anonymous employee, managers rarely visit the warehouse and suggestions for improving the inventory controls have been ignored.

However, according to Turk, most of the merchandise in the warehouse for a long period isn't overstock, but a way .of doing business.

Apparently there is some truth in that statement, for CU's .campus bookstore admitted that they also have large overstocks and have operated with losses for two years.

The Auraria Book Center, according to Turk, has maintained a profit of one to one and one half percent.

Purcbases by the center of such thin~ as the 4-subject notebooks, Turk said, are cheaper when bought in quantities of 5000 units.

The notebooks in question were purchased for promotional sales and needed to be ordered 60 days in advance because of custom printing that needed to be made on the notebook covers.

Because of the purchase, Turk said, "we're going to have a real low priced notebook for su mmer students."

But some overstock, he said, can't be sold no matter what. ._.

Th~ b;oks -thr;w; away l ast year wer.e offered so many times that to cut the cost further would have been economically unwise, Turk said.

Selling the books at a lower price, he said, would have cost the store more for • labor than what revenue could be made selling the books. " We reach a point of diminishing return," Turk said, " where some books have no value."

Finally, Turk said, much of what's been heard about the bookstore operations may be due to traditional management-labor conflicts.

"The academic cycle produces disappointments," he said. "Now there are fewer hours through July; we've never been able to keep everyone employed ' that wants to be employed."

Teacher Urges Basics, Excellence

by Tom Deppe Entertainment Editor, The Metropolitan

,.-

Noted educator Marva Collins has based her success as a teacher on a back-to-basics approach to learning, a refusal to let students fail and a personal commitment to excellence.

Collins elaborated on those points and commented on the declining state of education here in the United States before a small but attentive audience at St. Cajetans last Wednesday night in · the first event of Metropolitan State · College's 1985 Spring Lecture Series.

Collins, who spent 14 years as a teacher in ·Chicago's Public School System, gained her fame as an educator through Westside Preparatory Academy, a private school she founded on Chicago's tough west side. The · school is noted f9r taking disadvantaged and problem students and turning ·them into motivated learners.

In her speech,, Collins noted the rising tide of mediocrity that our educational system seems to be producing.

"There are ~eral baleful reports that have told us that America is losing its preeminence as a world leader and that our schools are a major contributor to this problem," Collins said. "Schools all over America are presently enjoying very bad press and many parents have lost faith in our productivity as educators."

In addition, Feuerborn said he feels campus recreation is more Beneficial than many people may realize. it is.

"Studies have shown that people who participate in these activities deal with stress much better than ones who don't ... When you' re in college stress

management is very important," he said.

In addition to campus recreation, the facility is being touted as a possible home for the MSC men's and women's basketball teams. Bot}) teams now play their home games off campus at the Denver Auditorium Arena.

The proposal would most likely also include a host of improvements to the Aurariir Student Center. Lounge and cafeteria space would be greatly increased, and a stati9n for the proposed ACT system would be added to one 0 end of the building.

determine what a student can or cannot become."

Hands-on motivation is the hallmark of Collins and her other teachers at Westside Prep. Teachers do not have desks and are constantly on the move, interacting with students. Mistakes are not to be ashamed of and the teachers are there immediately to help the students out, Collins said.

"Each of us at Westside Preparatory School feels that it is our duty to be true to the Latin meaning of the word teacher, which means to lead or to draw out;" Collins said.

She said she has an unyielding faith in the potential of her students, no mat. ter where they come from.

"We do not believe that the kind of home a students comes from has ' anything to do with what that student can learn," Collins stated.

Collins also believes that if children are "given an opportunity to see the right way, they will always ultimately · choose the right way."

Collins concluded her Speech by challenging the audience, particularly those in the education field, to "become excellent for yourselves . .. won't each of you hear relight our candles of excellence?"

If that individual motivation takes hold, Collins believes our schools being labelled a "Nation at Risk" will be a trans~~t phase.

U.S. ·Action a -Must for S.A. Reform specialist in international relations who spoke at the St. Francis Center Wednesday.

Dr. Baffour Agyman-Duah, visiting lecturer on international relations at the University of Colorado, Boulder, spoke on the influence of American economic and political interests on U.S. policy· toward apartheid.

"The U.S. has economic interests in South Africa to the tune of $2.5 billion invested by American corporations in 1981 alone," Agyman-Duah, said. "As South Africa's number one trading partner, the U.S. is in a unique position to affect change in the South African government's oppressive system of apartheid." . · _ _ Agyman-Duah said that although a.> most American corporations in South ~...- -...l~l:>()Africa subscribe to the Sullivan ~Code-an agreement to provide equal 1--_.;_;;'---------"--c.-_'---~-=--' em p 1oy men t opportunities to blacks- more must be done.

"There are two main forces of opiby Bob Darr nion in America. On one hand Special to The Metropolitan some-including the Reagan administration-believe that the The United States ·m ust take active government of South Africa is taking mea,sures to insure political reform in South Africa, according to an African slow but effective action concerning

human rights." Agyman-Duah said.

"The other opinion holds that apartheid is enimical to the principles America stands for and the U.S. government should take punitive measures to force a change now."

Agyman -Duah added that the American public would have to raise a great outcry in order to force the administration to take action. " Historically, the U.S. has not supported the people fighting for freedom around the world. The American people must tell the government that action is necessary. The people in charge of government determine what position is taken and the Reagan administration has not gone past the normal diplomatic niceties. That is nothing to take pride in," he said.

Asked about the recent accord between the Republic of South Africa and the Peoples Republic of Mozambique that states. neither nation will support insurgents trying to topple the other's government, Agyman-Duah replied that there are positive and negative aspects to the agreement.

On the positive side, an end to hostilities in the region will give the

young government in Mozambique some breathing room to stabilize the economy without fear of attack from rebels supported by South Africa.

For South Africa, it means relief from attacks by Marxist guerrillas who used to find sanctuary in Mozambique.

The negative aspect, according to Agyman-Duah, is the legitimizing of South African dealings with other countries on the African continent. · "I see the accord with Mozambique and the new constitution that allows 'coloreds' and Asians a house in the '"" Assembly as a move to reduce the pressure of world-wide public condemnation of apartheid," he said.

Agyman-Duah went on to say that the only peaceful solution to the question of apartheid is through utilization of the principles of democracy.

"If enough Americans stand up and demand that the government do something (about apartheid), the U.S. government will be forced to take action."

Agyman-Duah, a native of Ghana, received his masters degree from Ohio University and holds a doctorate in international relations from the University of Denver.

Barriers Removed For the Disabled

by Michael Martelon

Gym

Acce~sible

Special to TM Metropolitan

Auraria's disabled students received a gift worth about $3,000 this past Christmas break when shower benches were installed in the physical education building.

The benches in the men's and women's first floor locker rooms were installed because one handicapped student thought it would be a good idea.

"I think it's important for students to know that one person can make a difference," said Patricia Yeager, Manager of the Office of Disabled Student Services.

Pam Wilson, 29, the student that made the differnce, brought up the idea at a 504 Committee meeting, Yeager said. The committee formed in 1980 to help keep the Auraria campus accessible.

The Ahlin Fund, a scholarship fund for disabled UCD students, donated · $1,500 for the benches. Yeager said that profits from a 1983 raffle accounted for $1,000 and Campus Recreation contributed $500 toward the cause. _ • Wilson, a committee member for about three years, has been involved in other committee projects as well, Yeager said. In 1982 she helped committee members decide where automatic push-button doors should be installed on campus.

"We recognized that we had a problem and went to the 504 Committee to find the best place for the push-button doors," committee member Larry Hodge, AHEC physical plant director, said.

A grant from Denver Auraria Com-

munity College paid for the badly needed doors. Lil Hunsaker, DACC Assistant Director for the Physically Disadvantaged, works closely with Yeager on all the campus disability issues.

"This campus is definitely the most accessible in the state," Hunsaker said.

Committee member Bob Kronewitter, campus architect, has made plans to keep Auraria accessible. Kronewitter and the 504 Committee saw the need for a level sudace through the middle of campus to aid people in wheelchairs and others with mobility impairments.

"Wheelchairs go wherever gravity takes them," Wilson said. So when the steamline needed to be replaced last

Now

Yeager added that not all the cars in handicap lots are legally parked.

'Tm told there are a lot of cars without handicap decals in the lots," she said. Decals are about $65 a semester.

"People abuse handicap parking all the time," Wilson said.

Pam Cybyski, a UCD graduate, said: "Able-bodied people are late for class and they park in the hanrucap spaces. . They just don't think."

Other limited access areas that the 504 Committee has to think about are the Ninth Street Park offices and the English writing lab, Yeager said.

The Ninth Street offices are not accessible and cannot be structur~ly altered because they are historical sites, she said. The problem is that students ~ have to schedule appointments with '; people in those offices elsewhere. i:!l The English writing lab, also inac;[ cessible, is in the basement of the rectory building.

Delay MSC Reorganization, Student Says Editor's note: This letter was sent to MSC President Paul Magelli concerning the proposal to eliminate and rearrange some of MSC's smaller schools to save money.

I am a white female, age 44, who is in her junior year at Metropolitan State College, majoring in Business Management and minoring in Afro-American ~&.

-

At the age of 41, I was involved in a serious automobile accident. During my recovery period, I took a trip to Africa through the Afro-American Studies Department, which included classes preliminary to the trip, reading material and an examination after our return. For this I received 4 college credits. These were . the first college credits I had ever earned. Because we had gone to parts of Africa thaf spoke French, the following semester, I decided to take Beginning Conversational French. The following semester, I decided to attend college full time and go for a degree.

I was raised in New York City, my father died when I was 12 and I never had the opportunity to go to college. I attended a Catholic high school that prepared us to be secretaries and my diploma would have precluded me from going to col·lege, since it was vocational in nature.

So it must be obvious to you by this point in my letter how important this School of Community and Human Resources is to me. Not only did my involvement lead me to strive for a college degree, but the fact that I was doing something positive helped me heal faster from my injuries, which included minimal brain damage.

Were it not for the open-door enrollment policy of this school, all of this would not have been possible.

The classes I have taken in Afro-American Studies have enriched my life and caused me to get involved in many organizations. I have met and gotten to know more students in this type of class than any business class because of the interaction that becomes part of the learning experience in these subjects. Five of my present closest friends are from this group. · Because this college is in the inner city and because the major result of discrimination causes a misallocation of all the resources of our country (which I just learned in my current Macroeconomics Class) , if this particular part of the school was reorganized, divided up, etc., it would not have the impact it has now and it would be easier to phase it out. This wo)lld be a great loss- not just to those who directly benefit from it, but. the loss of the spillover benefits to the community. While the benefits of this department are not easily measured, I know

Stary Attacked Again Editor, Thank you Patricia Shipley, AHEC Cops, of the Jan. 30 issue of The Metropolitan was a monumental piece of reporting.

I'm sure the women attending Metro can walk the campus in peace knowing that there is a campus cop patrolling the area who, "chuckles as he recalls-a sex offender . . . ," and believes rape to be an act of immaturity. With police like Hsiefler who needs campus criminals?

It is unfortunate that what could have been a revealing, insightful article 11bout the current attitudes of campus police, became, instead, something I'd be ashamed to contribute to a high school newsletter.

Send Shipley to journalism 101.

Sincerely, K. Elliot Collins As I said last week, the real culprits in the use of language in our feature on the Auraria police department are the officers who were interviewed. We stand by our story.

Thank you Kevin Vaughan

Story Info. Mistaken Editor, .

While I commend The Metropolitan for its attempts to keep the college community informed about current issues, I must correct some information that appeared in last weeks's edition.

The story "Faculty Senate Mulls Policy changes" (p.3) indicated that the Faculty Senate had taken a '"straw vote" in favor of the change in grading policy which had been proposed by the Academic Policies Committee and discussed at some length. As the individual who proposed the straw vote motion and as the one who is responsible for the accuracy of records of Senate proceedings, I can report to you that the "straw vote" was 23 to 16 in favor of the "alleged" flexibility of the present NC grade notation policy. There were three abstentions in the vote.

The intent of my motion was to ·end what I considered debate that was no longer "productive" and to advise the Academic Policies Committee of the collective sentiment of the Senate. Since that vote, the Committee has circulated information to the faculty, inviting responses.

Charles E. Allbee; Secretary, MSC Faculty Senatr

'Balanced · Tone' Lauded Greg Pearson cl o Kevin Vaughan, Editor Dear Greg: I very much appreciate the balanced tone of your February 20 article in The Metropolitan. Your understanding of the political process and existing state law makes me wish that you were teaching creative writing rather than journalism at Metro. (At least it's not political science!)

The bill in question, H.B. 1219, being put forward by Representative Ed Carpenter, R-Grand Junction, is designed to hold the trustees of state colleges accountable for curriculum which is, in fact, now their statutory responsibility.

The advice and consent of the faculty does not now abrogate that responsibility, nor should it, and the bill clarifies that relationship. The language relating to assistant principles which seems so ludicrous to you has been part of State law since 1898.

The legislative discussions concerning the reorganization of higher education are beginning their third week. Your parochial view of wanting the General Assembly to write a blank check for 20 percent of Colorado's budget only serves to underscore the need for statewide policy decisions and greater accountability. · Sincerely, Paul D. Schauer P.S. Rather than seeing statewide governance as a Soviet politburo, you might try to see it as the Continental Congress defining a basis for state-local educational relationships just as our founding fathers fashioned federalis~.

Increased support for the Sandinista gevernment-even if that means drinking only "politically correct coffee" - became the subject of discussion Thursday night during a slide show and lecture given in the Auraria Student Center by UCO professor Larry Mosqueda.

Mosqueda, who teaches political science, traveled to Nicaragua recently and observed the elections held there last Nov. 4.

The impact those elections are having on relations between Nicaragua and the United States was addressed at the presentation, which was sponsored by the Auraria Campus· Central America Support Committee.

"For the first time in the history of Nicaragua," Mosqueda remarked, "the majority freely elected, in a democratic fashion, the government of their choice. Lies are being fed to the American people about conditions in Nicaragua."

Sandinista candidate Daniel Ortega was elected President of the Central American country, which has a population of more than 3 million people and is bordered by Honduras _and Costa Rica.

Mosqueda described the Sandinistas as a "broad-based coalition" comprised· of 'students, socialists, labor un-ions, Catholic priests and other church people, and some communists."

He stated that the communists are the most recent addition to the Sandinista party.

"There were actually seven parties on the ballot last year." Mosqueda told the audience. "The Conservative Party received 12 percent of the vote; the Liberal Party, 11 percent; the Social Christian Popular Party, five- percent and three leftist or social communist parties getting about one-percent of the v9te each." ' Photographs taken by Mosqueda and presented at the gathering show a celebration rally in Managua attended by more than 200,000 supporters of the Sandinista candidate.

'

) "During these rallies, it was Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie that blared over the loud-speakers, not the CubanSoviet rhetoric that the Reagan administration would have you believe," he said.

Nicaraguans have seen hard times. .

In 1972 an earthquake devasted Managua killing nearly 15,000 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

In the slides, damage from the quake was obvious and no major re- building of the city was apparent.

"People of the United States, Western Europe and Latin ~erica sent hundfeas of millions of dollars to· .

Nicaragua to provide reconstruction," Mosqueda said. · "Samosa diverted most of the monies for himself, placing it in Swiss banks.

This was the turning point of the revolution."

"The last thing Samosa did before leaving Nicaragua for Miami in July of 1979," Mosqueda said, "was to destroy Nicaragua owned factories because he wanted to make sure that the Nicaraguans did not have the resources to build a new society. He did not, however, blow up the factories owned _

by Americans and Europeans."

Mosqueda said that 40,000-50,000 people were killed by Samosa's soldiers during the revolution. _

Want Peace, Ready For War and buy only the native Nicaraguan brew, or as he calls it, "politically correct coffee."

Mosqueda feels that the majority of Nicaraguans do support President Ortega and the revolution.

"There are a lot of people with guns down there. I think that's one indication of the support Nicaraguan" people give the government. Reagan said the Nicaraguan government is arming a lot of Nicaraguans and that is true.

"You could imagine what would happen in Guatemala or El Salvador if the governments started giving out guns to the people down there. There would be a revolution so quick, that it would make your head spin.

"When the government giv_es guns to the poople in NiC?aragua, the people' virtually all of them-support the

"Today, 70 per~nt of (Nicaraguan) economy is in private hands. The other thirty-confiscated when Samosa fled-was re-distributed by the Sandinistas," he said.

"They're building things for the future," Mosqueda added. "Especially things for children."

To illustrate this he showed slides of a school, an art building, and a library, all with smiling children posed in front of each.

"There are about 800 Americans liv~ng in Nicaragua and the vast majority of them signed a petition-an open let--=ter to President Reagan-saying they did not want to be rescued," Mosqueda said.

"President Reagan's freedom-fighters are murdering people down there.

About 8,000 people have been killed in the last four years. 2,500 of them have been children. Your tax dollars at work."

"The Nicaraguans are willing to negotiate everything, except their freedom and the revolution. The American government is their biggest enemy," h~ said.

"Western Europe-Norway and Sweden-financed the elections (largest contributions). Not Poland, Cuba and Russia."

"The ·people of Nicaragua are preparing for an invasion by the United States, rather than using their resources to improve society," he said.

"For e;rnmple," he said, "nurses in Managua must carry their own lightbulbs around with them when treating patients. They go from bed to bed, screwing and un-screwing lightbulbs so that they might see what they're doing."

The Sandinistas claim that agrarian reform is central .to their redevelopment processes. Mosqueda visited a coffee farm and photographed workers drying beans the old-fashioned way, manually spreading them on the ground, using the sun's natural warmth. He suggests that people should boycott American producers

down to these four things: J • they want peace • they are ready for war • they will win the war • they are willing to negotiate everything, except their independence and the revolution.

"Wiren they say they're ready for war, it's not a macho thing. They know they have to defend their land and their people," Mosqueda said.

"When they say they will win the war, it doesn't mea~ they will win at no cost. The reason they really want to negotiate everything is because they recognize that war would be with the United States and that's a very powerful enemy. They would lose about a half-million people or more and American troops would lose about 50,000 people."

"President Reagan's freedom-fighters are murdering people down there. About 8,000 people have been killed in the last four years. 2, 5 00 of them have been children. Your tax dollars at work."

-Larry Mosqueda governmental structure," Mosqueda said.

"That doesn't mean that they support every single thing the government does.

It means.they support the government structure," he added.

"Every American is welcome down there, except the Marines," Mosqueda said. "And if the Marines weren't wearing .!1niforms, they could come down too.

"The Nicaraguans know that an invasion means they would be subject to imprisonment and death similai: to the situations which had occured in Chile in 1973, the Dominican Republic in '65 and lpdonesia in '64-65. There would be a lot of destruction of the people down there by the occupying force.

The occupying force would be largely Americans and the national guard of Samosa," he said.

Mosqueda described a meeting he had with the FSLN, which is the party of the Sandinistas, saying ".a man who was identified as a 'Sandinista with North American-relations' said it boils

"We were told how difficult it is for old people and children," Mosqueda said, "because they literally don't know if they are going to be invaded tomorrow morning. For the people in this room, the prospects of nuclear war are very scary, but it is something that is way out there, sometime in the future.

These people might be bombed tomorrow, at eight o'clock in the morning.

And that is something that they have to live with every single day."

"The United States had a chance for peace in the Contradora process (a peace-keeping pact supported by Mexico, Coiumbia, Venezuela, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Hondur~ and Costa Rica), but they blew it by refusing to sign the agreement," Mosqueda said.

"I urge people who are interested in the condidtions in Nicaragua to write their .congressman and contact their churches," Mosqueda concluded.

"Their active support is vital to the Nicaraguans, now more than ever." 0

Live Jazz Scene Thriving In Denver

by David Zuber Special to The Metropolitan

If you like live jazz, then you're living in the right town.

No matter what style suits your taste-straight- ahead mainstream, fusion, swing, Latin, big band or even Dixieland-you can probably find a very good band playing that style any night at one of Denver's many jazz clubs.

Denver's clubs run the gamut from the lush elegance of the Fairmont Hotel's Moulin Rouge Room to the seedy unpretentiousness of El Chapultepec. Best of all(with the exception of the Moulin Rouge}admission to most of the clubs is free.

The current popularity of jazz in Denver is strikingly similar to the music scene that thrived ten years ago when Denver was a city rich with places that offered live acoustic music.

In those days anybody who had a restaurant, bar, bookstore, etc.-that was capable of holding more than ten people, hooked up a microphone and a sound system and hired musicians to play.

The rooms ranged from concert settings such as the Oxford Hotel's Regency Room (now called the Corner Rqom and currently one of Denver's top jazz clubs}to the Denver Folklore Center, to small restaurants where musicians

set.

These clubs flourished for several years-although the Denver Folklore Center was the active heart of the scene for over 15 years. Then, suddenly, it.._ · seemed most of them disappeared.

Music tends to go in cycles, Tom Tilton, drummer and leader of the Tom Tilton Quartet, said at a recent Bay Wolf appearance.

Currently there are many places booking jazz in town, he said, but a few ·years ago disco and record bars predominated.

It wa5 a real Slld time, he said, because it was almost impossible to earn a decent living as a musician in Denver.

But people started to crave live music ~ again, and the new cycle started, Tilton said.

Although clubs such as the Oxford's Comer Room occasionally book a national act-at which time an admission fee is charged-Denver's jazz ·· clubs primarily feature local musicians.

The exception is the Moulin Rouge Room, which features national performers on a weekly basis, and charges $12 to $14 for admission.

Acts such as George Shearing and McCoy Tyner have played there recently, and future bookings include Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel and Joe Williams.

However , the club also has booked future appearances by non-jazz acts such as Doug Kershaw and Lainie "" Kazan.

One of the main criticisms of Denver's jazz clubs voiced by both musicians and fans is that many people at the clubs sit and talk and don't listen to the music.

Guitarist Dale Bruning, who appeared with bassist Paul Warburton at Faces Cafe last weekend, said a cover charge might create a more serious listening atmosphere.

Jazz requires an effort on the part of the audience to appreciate it, Bruning said, and many people who go to the clubs don't want to make that effort.

But if people had to pay it would put them in a different frame of mind, Bruning said, and people who have paid and want to listen would have a right to ask people wh'o are talking to stop.

Because there is no cover charge, b ars can't afford to pay bands much money, drummer Tilton said, so a musician must work in small groups.

He said he would like to work occasionally in a band with 10 or U · instruments. With a larger band, Tilton said he could play compositions with more complex arrangements.

But the absence of a cover charge brings more people into the clubs, Holloway said and the possibility exists . that those people eventually will be turned on the music.

An old Duke Ellington song says,"It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got tbat swing."

Well, Denver with its multitude of jazz clubs and excellent musicians is definitely swinging.

'The Sure Thing'- Trite But Funny J>

by Tom Deppe

cross-country, teenage battle of the sexes.

Gib's motivation for going to California is to visit his friend Lance (Anthony Edwards) and be set up with "the sure thing" - a gorgeous blonde who has nothing more on her mind than engaging in wild sex - the fulfillment of every horny adolescent boy's fantasy.

Alison is going to California to be reunited with her boyfriend Jason,

Entertanment Editor, The Metropolitan

Ho hum, here we go again with another in a string of teenage sexploitation comedies, but what the hell, I _;needed a little mindless entertainment last weekend.

Director Bob Reiner's (Yes, the same guy from All in the Family.) The Sure Thing has all the usual trite ingredients

I!\"

Heading for California in the "The Sure..'.fhing" (Boyd Gaines), who is the same, studious, well-ordered type as herself, or in Alison's words, "everything a girl wants out of life." You might say that Gib and Alison are both pursuing their visions of youthful love.

Or course Gib and Alison do their best to. irritate each other during the drive to California. Responding to being mooned by a group of "good old boys" and Gib's taunts of not havlng any spontaneity in her, Alison goes topless to prove Gib wrong and gets them ticketed for indecent exposure.

Gib and Alison are dropped off in the middle of nowhere by the irate driver, and their adventure really begins as they are now forced to hitchhike to California.

The two of them make their way across the country in a series of comic misadventures. Little by little, Alison and Gib learn to care for each other.

She becomes a lot more fun-loving and Gib turns into less of a smart aleck. . By the time they get to California, neither is quite sure of their original motivation for making the trip. Alison has discovered the joys of "spontaneity" (The scene where she sh~ws the

of the standard .teenage sex comedy- a young man searching for sexual nirvana, uptight girl, beautiful bodies and of course, gettjng drunk and obnoxious.

Despite all that, I walked out of The , Sure Thing feeling good and chuckling at the comedic scenes that Reiner managed to string together in the movie.

Any of us who have done everything wrong going after the girl of our· dreams will identify with what Walter ..- "Gib" Gibson (John Cusack) goes through in The Sure Thing. Cusack's "Gib"never quite knows when to stop being the wise- guy clown and be sincere in his pursuit of the opposite sex.

Naturally, Alison Br~dbury, '-(Daphne Zuniga) the Ivy League object of his pursuit wants to have nothing to do with him. Alison's wellordered sensibilities leave no room for . the likable but obnoxious Gib. After blowing one date with Alison, Gib is once again joined up with her when the two of them inadvertently pick the same ride sharing offer to get to California during the Christmas break. What follow~ is an entertaining

straight-laced Jason some of her new tricks, such as "shotgunning" beer is hilarious.) and Gib thinks he wants to get into a relationship.

Alison a~d Gib have the prerequisite lover's spat and go their separate ways.

You'll have to see the movie yourself to find out if Gib finds the "sure thing" all that it's cracked up to be, or if he and Alison get back together. I'll give you

one hint though, the ending is almost moralistic in tone.

The Sure Thing is a sex comedy that gets its point across without a lot of nudity or on.screen sex in it. It's trite and stereotypical of course, but it left me feeling good-and sometimes that's all you can ask of a movie.

I'll give Rob Reiner a seven for this OM.

Mike Jones just missed All-American honors as he finished 13th in the 1650 meter freestyle. His 16:46 time was good enough to better his own school record.

Jones also captured school records in the 200 meter freestyle at 2:00.5 finishing in 15th and 400 meter Individual Medley with a 4:22.8 mark to put him in 16th place overall.

Don Huff and Joe Luchetta also qualified to Nationals for the Roadrunners as part of the 400 freestyle, 400 medley and 800 free style relays. All

Swimmer Mike Jones helped Metro to a 12th place finish at the NAIA Nationals last weekend. Jones set three school records at the meet.

The Metro State swim team was exceptional at the NAIA National meet last weekend in Indianapolis. The Roadrunners brougt borne a 12th place overall finish, seven school records and two All-Americans.

Ted Rychlick led the way for MSC as he finished in third place in the 100 meter breast stroke at 58.2 and fifth place in the 200 meter breast stroke at

2:09.

Both times were good enough for Rychlik to capture two MSC school records. Also by virtue of finishing in the top 12, he was named to the AllAmerican team.

Paddy Cox was another AllAmerican swimmer for MSC by virtue of his 10th place finish in the 100 meter breast stroke. Cox also finished 16th in

three relays bettered their times and -brought home school records as well.

"It was a real excellent meet for us," said hed coach John Bockstahler. He said he was pleased that each swimmer bettered his time in each event.

Bockstahler, in his first year as head coach, is looking forward to a strong team next year in h'opes of building a solid program for the years to come.

"We hope to finish in the top 10 next year," he said. __ Rychlik and Cox will be the only swimmers not returning to the squad 0 next year.

Air Force·Dominates, Roadrunners Drop ·2 The MSC men's baseball team lost a home doubleheader to the Air Force Academy Falcons Saturday, 4-2 and 6-2.

The teams were scheduled to play again in Colorado Sprin~ on Sunday but the games were cancelled because of snow.

In the first game on Saturday, AFA could only manage four hits off MSC pitchers Ty Rollins and Jay Estrada.

But Metro's coach, Bill Helman, said Air Force got the hits when they needed them. ' Rollins, a junior, pitched the first five innin~ in the first game allowing all four runs while Estrada, a freshman, pitched the final two innin~.

·.

In the second game, AFA exploded early. They scored three. runs in the first inning and never looked back.

Metro pitchers, Dave Snow, a freshman, and Ronn Wells, a junior,

pitched a strong game but five unearned runs for the Falcons proved detrimental to the Roadrunners.

MSC has 12 more games-eight at home-before spring break. On Wednesday, March 6, they travel to Colorado Springs to play a doubleheader against Colorado College. Then on Friday and Saturday, they will play a home-and-home series _ against the Unive.rsity of Northern Colorado: probably the best team in the state. Helman said.

Next week, Metro will play three more doubleheaders. The first one is against Colorado College on Wednes- • day, March 13, and two more against New Mexico Highlands on Thursday and Friday. MSC will host all three.

Then, during spring break, the team will be in Phoenix, Arizona to play some important exhibition games 0 against major league squads.

;Ligouri, Magelli Work·for --8 5-86

by Curt Sandoval Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

Things are beginning to look better for next season's MSC men's basketball At:earn as Bob Ligouri will probably stay on as the head coach of the squad.

Three weeks ago, Ligouri had sub~ mitted a _letter of resignation to Athletic Directo_x: William Helman. But Ligouri and Helman agreed to "hold" the letter until they had the opportunity to meet ~with the new MSC President Paul Magelli.

At that time an agreement was made that Ligouri and Magelli work together to try and establish some of the needs the program was promised by the • MSC's late president, Dr. Fontera.

"Nothing definite. We've talked a lot and it's pretty established I'll be back · next year," Ligouri said Friday.

"Things are running smoothly with working with Dr. Magelli," Ligouri said. The first year coach said he is • more comfortable and adjusted since Magelli began in January.

"I think Dr. Magelli's a class individual, he'll run a class institution," he said. Ligouri said he feels this season h_as been the toughest

in his coaching career.

"I don't regret making the decision (to coach at MSC)" Ligouri said. But, he said, if he had known all the problems and troubles that were ahead of him he may not have accepted the job.

"It's been a learning experience. I've had to make some decisions I've never faced in my life," he said.

As for now, Ligouri said he is continuing his coaching job. with the Roadrunners season corning to an end last Tuesday night with a 76-74 win over Santa Fe College in New Mexico, Ligouri's job now is to recruit for next year.

"We're looking for a true center who can help us in rebounding and can play defense inside," he said. · Metro will look both in-state and outside the state for recruitment for the 1985-1986 season. The state high school basketball tournament is just one of th_e areas Ligouri said he'll be taking a look at.

"We've seen over 60 games this ' year," he said. "We'd like to fulfill our needs in Denver, but we'll go wherever it takes." .

Ligouri spends much of his time looking over scouting surveys with names of

But in its first year of readrnittance, numerous accomplishments have been made by the men's team. Ligouri feels that the biggest accomplishment was the change of attitude of . the public during the season.

"Everyone laughed at the beginning," he said. Here was Metro, a school bringing back ba5ketball after six seasons of embarrassment. But then ?it the end of the year, Ligouri said people were saying, "they should have won, when we lo~t." .

Ligouri has brought a successful program to MSC, and while no· contract has been set for Ligouri's future, basketball will continue at Metro next year·. Time will tell if Ligouri will be courtside for next season's opener, or if he'll hear about it from somewhere else.

players who are fresh out of high school or junior college transfers.

Ligouri feels that next year will be a lot different for the team. The squad has already been scheduled against two NCAA division I teams, Montana State and Boise ,State.

Another reason Ligouri is optimistic about next season is the adding of a strong guard, Steve Criggler: Criggler is from Westminster High School. He led Westminster to a district championship in 1981 before playing at UNC. Because he transferred from Greeley, he was ineligible to play this year for the Roadrunners.

As the year has come tp an end for the Roadrunners, Ligouri said he has seen only one disappointment as coach.

My Heart Leaps Up

SC

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it w hen I shall grow old, Or let m e die!

The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my day to be Bound each to each by natural piety.

William Wordsworth
