Trustees Consider Supporting Menlo

by Kevin Vaughan Editor, The Metrupolitan

The Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges met Monday night to further discuss a document calling for an end to the open enrollment policy of Metropolitan State College written . by the state legislature's Joint Budget Committee.

The document, titled the "Memorandum of Understanding," calls for 80 percent of incoming MSC freshmen to meet two of three requirements: • A high school grade point average of 2.5.

• Rank in the upper 66 percent of high school graduating class.

•An overall score of 19 on the ACT and 810 on the SAT. 'T he MSC Faculty Senate issued a position paper to the Trustees requesting that they not support tinkering

"If someone woold have said 'MSC is not going to have open admission,' then I wouldn't have been interested in the job.

I'm distressed to think that they might change this. "

with MSC's present adm1ss10ns system because an end to open enrollment could mean discrimination against some students.

MSC President Paul Magelli was at Monday's meeting of the Trustees, and called it "a very spirited discussion reflective of how everyone is trying to deal with the confusion."

Although they discussed the document at length, the Trustees did not take a position on it.

The JBC has threatened school's which don't comply with the memo with budgetary cutbacks.

Magelli said he was still confused by some of the language contained in this newest draft of the Memorandum of Understanding-specifically who is and who is not considered a non-traditional student.

The Trustees, Magelli said, "agreed that they need clarification on a number of issues before they take a position on the memorandum." .-ont. <m ~~ 13

Student Government ·Constitution Postponed

by Chad Morris Special to The Metropolitan

.,

In next week's elections, students will be unable to vote on the ASMSC constitution due to the inability of the student government to meet to discuss the document.

The constitution was returned from the State Attorney General's office · · April 3 after a few minor revisions to its contents.

Vice President Tammy Williams would like to have the constitution now sent to the Trustees of the State Colleges to be approved. This would assure that both the Comortium and the Attorney .. General's office w~uld st_and by Metro

in the event of a lawsuit against the school due to a constitutional dispute.

The Attorney General's office must approve the school's constitution since Metro is a state-run school.

Williams said that the main problem with the document now is that the student government cannot get a majority of its members to met to discuss what to do next.

Due to delays such as these, students may be required to vote seperately to approve the nar.v constitution.

The student government drew up a constit!Jtion about a year ago. However, the Atomey G~neral's effice felt there were too many legal problems with it. oonL on J10«e 6

Magelli also said he is going to fight • the attempt to do away with open admissions, something he said is essential to MSC's fulfillment of its commitment to the community.

"If someone would have said 'MSC is not going to have open admission,"' Magelli said, "then I wouldn't have ~ been interested in the job."

"I'm distressed to think that they might change this," he went on.

However, he said he doesn't believe the legislature will adopt the changes even though the MBC-which drafts funding legislation for higher education in Colorado-supports them.

Metro is not the only school critical of the plan. The University of Colorado Board of Regents has rebuked the plan and refused to endorse it, even though the school could face some budgetary 0 punishment.

Thefts on Rise -

~

Thefts from vehicles are on the rise at the Aur,aria Campus.

The Department of Public Safety advises that students park in high activity areas or a monitored lot. At night, students should choose a well lit spot.

All valuables should be put in the trunk. Also, so not hide extra sets of keys in or around the vehicle. Mounted accessories should be out of sight and engraved with student's social security number.

An important precaution students may overlook is to lock all the car doors. Lastly, students might consider installing some type of theft prevention device, available· at car audio stores.

The Department of Public Safety urges students to be aware of the activity in the lots and to report anything suspicious immediately.

Some Denver City Council members met with Auraria officials last week to discuss financial support of the campus monorail plan.

The meeting with the council's public works committee was called so the two groups could discuss a $10 million industrial development bond for the campus monorail system.

"It's real clear they understand our problems," said'JoAnn Soker, Auraria's director of special projects.

Auraria had placed a voluntary spending cap of $7 millio~ on the program.

Soker said the bond would serve as protection in case the program "hit some snags."

The council members didn't vote on the issue but Soker said she felt they were very receptive to Auraria.

"We just want to try to coordinate the city's interest from the· start," she said.

Engineers are currently studying the route of the proposed monorail to enable them to submit a detailed plan to the state highway department. Soker said the state wants to know-in detail-exactly what is to be built over 1-25. \ "Once we get the state's go-ahead we'll be just about ready to go (start building)," Soker said. "But it's going to be nip-and-tuck to stay on · sch~um."

EXECUTIVE

MSC faculty contacted last week were gravely concerned and severely critical of a proposal to end Metro's modified open door enrollment policy that was made about one month ago by Colorado's legislative Joint Budget Committee.

On Thursday the Faculty Senate voted overwhelmin~ly to reaffirm ito; commitment to the current policy, according to the Faculty Senate President Freida Holley.

Independently, Holley and the other professors reached on Thursday and Friday directed their concern and criticism at the Joint Budget Committee.

"I have a lot of trouble with the JBC making policy decisions for higher education without going through the normal proceedings of the legislature," Holley said.

"The JBC," she said, " hasn't studied the issues, they aren't that familiar with them and they haven't had any open hearings to my knowledge."

Others expressed similar views.

Political Science professor Jeff Conner said the JBC is trying to administer higher education policy "by the threat

of the budget," and thus "holding the campus hostage."

The harsh rebukes came as the legislature considers next year's budget, along with a controversial bill that could redefine higher education in Colorado.

A majority of the budget is drafted directly by the JBC, a group of six legislators from the House and Senate.

Five years ago the committee began requiring the heads of the state's colleges and universities to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, a memo that outlines how much money each school receives and how that money should be spent and is thought to reduce bickering among the institutions.

The MOU, once signed, becomes part of the Long Appropriations Bill, which allocates all state funds, and thus becomes law.

According to Political Science professor Warren Weston, who has attended most of the recent legislative sessions, this....is one of the first times the JBC has tried so directly to shape higher education policies through the use of its fiscal appropriations powers.

Drafts of the latest MOU, the third so far, asks that "all four-year institutions agree to , meet or raise admission stan mises increased General Fund monies

tions should meet the higher standards requirements by the 1988-89 school year.

Specifically, the memo would require 80 percent of the MSC freshman to have either a 2.5 gpa, a • score of 19/810 on the ACT/SAT college entrance exams or to have graduated in the top two-thirds of one's high school class.

In addition, the memorandum promises increased General Fund monies1 "on a competitive basis to institutions who have demonstrated that they are improving and upgrading the quality of education they are offering."

An earlier draft of the MOU called for elimination of Metro's School of Education, but the third draft delivered from the legislature to the .. campus on Friday revoked the idea.

However. Charles Branch. Dean of the School of Education, had already drafted a letter addressed to the legislature, which read, in part: "The road to educational mediocrity 4 in America was paved by out-of-touchwith-reality teacher education programs housed in typical white-:middleclass, like-value-system residential institutions located in small, nonurban communities."

MSC, Branch said, is the only school in the state with an urban, multipur-

Legislative Attempt to Close Door

pose "real-world environment," where teachers can learn how·to instruct the ethnically mixed students who attend public schools today.

Branch satd he thought it "totally absurd that a legislative body could .-eliminate programs."

Nor could he understand changing Metro's open admissions policy.

Although the School of Education does have entrance requirements and high academic standards similar to ,....other schools, Branch said, it was ·~stupid", for instance, to require an adult in his mid-twenties, who may have already been married and divorced and is just returning to school, to have an ACT/SAT score of 19/810.

Faculty Senate President Holley . agreed, saying that the admissions requirements proposed by the JBC would unfairly deny older, so-called "non-traditional" students an education.

"When you've got a person who is 10 years out of school what does it (the •requirements) mean?" Holley said, "That's why we' re fiercely protective," she continued, "because we realize these older students have so much to offer. They were probably '-

rebels in school and they're neat peo- · ple, really neat people; it makes me feel sad to think we might lose them."

Engineering Technology professor and self-admitted high school "rebel" Harry Temmer attacked the memo on 'the same grounds.

"I was dumb in high school along with a lot of others," Temmer said, explaining that he didn't care in high school about GPAs or a college education, and that he essentially had an "attitude problem."

So, Temmer said, "we can spend money keeping people out when some of those we're keeping out could benefit."

But Temmer, like other faculty, was most critical of the JBC, and said the proposed changes go against MSC's main purpose for being.

The Colorado Joint Budget Committee, according to Political Science's Weston, is "one of the most powerful legislative committees in the country."

Education policy, Weston~id , should be made in the education committee of the Senate, where legislators have developed knowledge and exper: tise on the subject, not in the budget committee, where senators are more strictly experts on monetary spending and taxes.

But, he observed, the memorandum was only one in a series of changes pro-

posed for higher education this year that has caused controversy.

Controversy first surfaced when HB 1187, the so-called Schauer bill, was presented last fall. In it was an· amendment, since removed, to combine MSC and UCD under the auspices of the CU Board of Regents.

Schauer's bill, Weston said, has been revised, and at today's Education Committee debate about 90 amendments are expected to be added.

Yet, according to Weston, HB1187 probably wouldn't have come to the legislative floor if' representatives weren't serious about making changes this year in higher education.

The JBC, Weston surmised, is like any legislative body when it needs to cut expenses, shooting at the big items, and in Colorado the two biggest items on the budget are higher education and elementary through high school education. . And the Senate, he said, is concerned about the rising costs of higher education despite a general decline in enrollment.

On the higher education issue the "question is what's going to happen rather than whether something will happen," Weston said.

Conner. however. said he fears that even with passage of the Schauer bill the JBC may decide to go its own way.

Frieda Holley.

The bill, he said, originally had no provision for elimination of the School of Education, but the JBC's memorandum did.

"What the hell else will they (the JBC) do," Conner_said.

Metropolitan State College students will go to the polls next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to elect a new student government executive branch.

The election, which will be held on April 17, 18, and 19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p. m., will empower those who will run student government for the 1985-86 school year.

Chris Dahle and Laura Ridgell-Boltz are vying for the president's position currently held by graduating senior Lisa Espiritu.

Both Dahle and Ridgell-Boltz presently serve on the Judical Branch of student government and are hoping to mvolve more students in the governing process.

"I hope to create a student government that is visible in a positive sense and to stimulate interest and involvement in the college," Dahle said, "and to create a sense of community among the college's students."

On the other hand, Ridgell-Boltz said she hopes to eliminate some of the conflict which has surrounded student government this year.

"I want to bring back to student government the unity that ~as here before," Ridgell- Boltz said. "I want the

Elections Approach

students to work with each other instead of against each other."

Steven Buhai is running with Dahle as a vice presidential candidate, while Ridgell-Boltz is now running alone.

Her husband, Ben Boltz, was on the ticket with her but has since dropped out of the presidential race and is now running for a s~at on the student senate. · If elected, Ridgell-Boltz will have to choose a vice president before being sworn in as president.

Dahle said one of the ways he would promote the school would be through the formation of a freshman orientation program, which he said would make incoming students " feel like they belong here."

Dahle would also like to sponsor regularly scheduled public issues forums for students.

Ridgell-Boltz said if elected she would institute a plan to reward students who are involved with student government with academic credit.

"I want to get students involved," she said. "A lot of them that have a lot of great ideas aren't involved now because there's no reward for the job."

Experienced Pro.Defends Drunk Driving 11 of us here, Under a Rock, driJ)lk and drive.

Even the people we kn9w who aren't Under a Rock drink and drive. In fact, everyone we have ever known has drank and driven at one time or another in their life.

That's all changing now.

Soon the phrase, ''Let's go get a drink somewhere," will be as anachronistic as the phrases. "Twenty-three-skidoo," and "boop-boop-be-doop." , What's odd is that these phrases came out of a time we're headed back to.

Throw out the red carpet-don't make a toast-Prohibition is making a comeback. _ MADD may be glad, but we here Under a Rock are sad sad sad.

There's been a time or two when we (I) really needed a drink. Sure, it was an escape, of sorts, but it felt good while it lasted.

And yes, at times I (we) drank too much-and-often, at times, we drank every day, twice a day, all damn day and night and the next morning.

AND WE DROVE. Gasp cough stutter choke ...

Ifs true.

We drove on roads. We drove off roads. I (we) drove on bike trails, over hill and dale, over sidewalk, mailbox, street light and garden.

Through grandmother's house we drove.

AND WE SANG. We sang at the tops of our lungs, whether we knew the words or not.

AND WE DANCED. We danced hard. We bumped.into each other, the walls, the stereo.

We even ran around naked at the height of our revelry.

AND WE HAD FUN- shudder shudder hand over mouth in shock.

Come on FBI, you heard me. Come on Mr. State Trooper. Set up your road block, come on! It's true, check the file. I (we) drove drunk hundreds of times.

Dunk me in a lake and see if I float. Light me on fire (you'll gag at the stench of alcohol on my burning flesh). You witch hunting zealots. You McCarthian junkyard dogs. You do-gooder blobs of puritanical hyper-conformity.

We cut loose, not even dangling by a thread. · We (I) still do. We will not stop. We will not merge into homogeneous winter sap.

We believe a person ha5 a right to be wilder than they ever would without drink. .

We believe it is healthy to stay up all night arguing philosophical parables and

A·

not remember a word of the discussion the. next morning.

A guy who suffers from premature ejaculation should be able to get drunk, drive to his girlfriend's and make love all night long in numbness.

We don't want to go to the ice cream socials and alternate beverage parties.

We don't want to spend hundreds of dollars ·on counseling when the local bartender knows as much as anybody.

We don't want to spend the night in the club house at Upwardly ·' Mobilenook Condos because our sister steals our car keys after her party.

"You're too drunk to drive," she'll say, hopping into a car with her "tipsy"

boyfriend.

Okay, you say. We never said there is anything wrong with a little social drinking. Just don't get in your car and drive afterwards. _ Forget it. No one will have parties anymore if they have to make it a slumber party every time.

And what about the guy who can drink like a fish and it never shows. He'll slip out the door, snockered out of his qtind and no one will know.

Let's face it. People drink liquor and then -do other things. In ancient times, wages were even given in beer. And they drove their chariots.

People need to drink and have parties and lose themselves.

Going to a party is a hell of a lot better place to lose yourself than vegetating in front of the tube. We must have social interaction or we become dangerously manipulable (why do I have a sudden craving for diet soda?) .

And innocent people die, in the name of fun, a much nobler cause than war. and a lot fewer people.

Modern society seems bent on stopping ·o r outlawing every potential cause of innocent death under the sun.

We here, you know where, say life is a risk.

We say, if you want to outlaw death, go for the biggies. Why strike paranoia in the hearts of every bloke or lass who likes to have a few drinks and then go somewhere?

Let's outlaw war.

Let's outlaw child abuse.

Let's outlaw hostility, greed and selfishness.

Let's get mad about millions of our dollars going to finance war and destruction around the globe. .

Let's figure out what's important and leave the people who have a few cocktails and go dancing all nigh~ to pay for it as they always have-with a hangover.

MSC Government Report

--- I I

---------------------~ ----------------~ --~--

I'm sure you have been wondering what my next step would be. You didn't think you were going to get off just by promoting me. Did you? Well, have got great news for you. I want to give you $1,400.-l'm serious. This is my new project.

I'm tired of having a passive student government and this is my way of dealing with it. .

Four student government leaders will be awarded buck$$$. The money will be given out as two $600.00 awards and two $100.00 awards. The catch to it all is work, yep, all you have to do is work. Well, that's not All, but it will be the first prerequisite.

I want everyone around here trying to out do everyone else and only those who do it will receive the big prize. Points will also be awarded on things like attendance and recruits. Does it sound like something you're interested in? Well, see me!ll I have also been concentrating my efforts on strengthing the relationship between the executive and legislative (Senate) branches. I'd like to thank the following senators for attending the last meeting: _ Patty Anderson, Steve Wrenshall, Brenda Oswald, Heidi Todeschi, Ben Boltz, · Al Ewing.

I'd also like to thank Al and the rest of the Student Activities people for responding to the needs of minorities on campus by bringing Bubbling Brown Sugar on campus April 16 at 8 p.m. in the Mission. Tickets will be $4 and can be reserved by calling 556-2595. We should also see more minority events.

I would also like to thank Carol Allen, MSC's walking Gold Mine, for all of her help on the Board of Academic Standards and Exceptions.

The ASMSC needs more people like those I've just mentioned! If you are interested in helping us out come to our office in room 340C of the student Center.

We need help on the following issues: -Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) this would end MSC's open enrollment and limit 90 percent of the entering class to high school graduates.

-Health Insurance, they want to raise it from $51.75 a semester to $57.50.

-The Constitution is back, you might be interested in checking it out.

-The Student Center Bond was increased from . . $16 to $18 and the name was

ree·

changed. This name change allows our money to pay for things like equipment f~r the Administration. · -We also ha":e openings on important committees like the Parking Advisory ~ Committee. . , Let's face it gang. Student Government needs to hear from all of you and you need to hear from us so that you'll know what to do in any situation, specially those that involve things like incompetent teachers.

Until we meet again, Tammy Williams Vice-President, ASMSC P.S. Good luck to Laura Ridgell-Boltz and Ben Boltz in their April 1 marriage.

Magelli Supports Stress Management

MSC's President, Patil Magelli

by Robert Davis News Editor. The Metropolitan

As MSC President Paul MageHi enters his fourth month as captain on the rough waters of Colorado's higher education, one must wonder how he remains sane faced with days of

political threats, "trimming" long-time school employees, and faculty and staff who see him as a new-possibly more generous-face than in the past.

"I've discovered that life is a precious commodity and no matter what we worry about, legislative actions or economic downfall, they're all secondary to quality life," Magelli said last week.

Stress is nothing new . for Magelli, whose twin brother Peter died several years ago.

"We were very much alike," Magelli said. "I had a lot of spasms and headaches. I lost control of my life."

He said he felt like a balloon that's weigh~ed at the bottom and that always pops up after it's knocked down.

"When my brother died I realized it could have been me," Magelli said, "because we were on the same treadmill."

So he began to analyze stress. He pondered the causes, effects, and treatments of life's pressures.

He noticed several parts of stress origins. First were the life transitions that society maps out for itself. The movement from childhood to adolescence to adulthood to marriage, and so on.

Next, he noticed the problems involved with climbing the career ladder.

"Push, Push, Push." In the job related area he observed the job classification and credential requirements often made for stressful environments.

Finally, he found that the "world's getting younger and I'm getting older paradox" caused many to lose a few nights of sleep.

Faced with all of the common pressures, he started to find ways to deal with it-to preserve his "quality life."

"First thing you have to do is get in touch with yourself," Magelli said.

"Not all of us know, for example, when we're stressed."

Magelli said he may suffer spasms that last up to 30 minutes when he's stressed out. , "I may cut off abruptly with somebody and they may not even know it," he said, "but if they knew my personality they may perceive that I'm not as receptive."

Magelli said he found the need to start an exercise program. He said his mind and body were not equally balanced and that the two should always be equal.

His exercise program consists of a five-mile run in the morning-during which he picks up trash around the King Soopers at 1331 Speer.

"I think I'm going. to send Jim Baldwin a bill," Magelli said jokingly.

"I was a real bitch before I got into an exercise program," he said, "I had aches and I was tired and frustrated. I didn't have the power to handle the physical stress I was putting dn my body."

Exercising should be the most important part of the day, Magelli said. ' "I won't let anyone infringe on that time," he said, "I tried it a few times and I was mad all day because I'd let somebody infringe on me."

After trying his exercise program at several times through the day, Magelli decided the morning works best for him.

"I think about the day's problems and how to solve them and how to

encounter people and deal with unexpected and unforeseen problems," he said.

He said if one allows for the unexpected interruptions then they can be dealt with more. efficiently.

"I always allow for unexpected interruptions and problems," he said, "otherwise I wouldn't be ready to deal with them."

But Magelli warns he won't deal with other people's "monkeys."

"The people who ~alk in and give you their problems to solve-they're giving you their monkeys," he said. So you have to put it out the door and say, 'take the monkey on your back and solve it.' I'll help them with problems but I won't do it alone."

Daily overloads of problems are bound to occur, Magelli said. The best solution is to have a system to deal with them.

"I know how to eject myself from that situation," Magelli said, "I may walk out of the room-I take action."

He also practices dally biofeedback and yoga exercises.

"I close the door to the office for 10 to 15 minutes around noon and meditate," Magelli -said. "I've had biofeedback training ai:.id I know how to achieve a very relaxed state."

He said he will also walk to Larimer Square or the Student Center 'w hen problems pile up to clear his head.

Diet, he says, is also important. He boasts of losing 53 pounds 20 years ago.

"The quality of my life is tremendously better," he said. "I resent that I didn't know about it at (an earlier age.)"

He said he hasn't been sick a single day since he began taking 2000 to 3000 miligrams of vitamin C. One type of stress that's new to Magelli is the sense of job security.

"I wish I felt a greater sense of security but_ I don't feel it here," he said, "and I've never felt that before."

He said he's always worked as an administrator with a backup tenure as an instructor. At MSC, he'(contracted annually as president and doesn't have any other guarantee of employment. 0

POETRY The May-Be-SlugSlugs decorate the sidewalk in a random pattern attracted by the wet, the rain.

I want to step on them, squish them out of existence, out of my way, so I can walk without thinking.

A sink-or-swim proposition. Just like your college career.

Slugs, slimy worms that can't be cut in half with fingernails and I am a very small child again in our backyard in Rochester, Minnesota.

I perch on the edge of the sandbox with blond braids and a Koolaid smile.

Daddy just missed chopping up the baby bunnies with the lawnmower.

They hid under the grass in earthy burrows.

Sometimes I hear their muffled wheezes when it rains.

I pick the slugs from the pebbles and wet sand following their silver trail across my hand. Flaring, my delicate nostrils in disgust.

I pinch at the rubbery feelers that would-be-eyes.

"Leave them alone, Pooh Bear."

Daddy says, "You may come back a slug someday and then who would you talk to?"

Veteran' Remembers Vietnam W1 Editor's note: April marks the tenth anniversary of

the fall of Saigon and the American pullout from Viet-

•

nam. During the month, The Metropolitan will run a series of articles about the war and how Americans view it today. This article was written by Mike Strother, a native of New Orleans who served two tours in Vietnam during the late 1960s. Strother is a student at Metropolitan State College and is studying Journalism.

.

The classic line, "Death ends a life-but not a relationship" best illustrates my feelings toward Vietnam, 10 years after the final withdrawal of American troops from the country's soil.

What impact has the war had on the people that I knew and served with overseas during the late 1960s?

What directions have those veterans taken with their lives and where are they now, 15 years later?

Two tours with the lOlst Airborne Division gave me the opportunity to form many relationships while in Southeast Asia. Most of those associations ended when I returned stateside.

Mostly, we have gone our separate ways and do not have any contact with each other.

But with some soldiers, death has fashioned a special bond.

Such a bond was formed on the sweltering spring morning of May 22, 1967.

Units of the 25th Infantry were pinned down by enemy sniper fire corning from a village located about seven kilometers south of the coastal town of Due Pho. The enemy was well entrenched and the 25th radioed for assistance.

My unit, A Troop, 17th Cavalry, was spread throughout the vicinity on a scouting rnwion. We responded to the call for help and arri':'ed to find the 25th had indeed stirred a hornets' nest.

Working in three-man teams, we surrounded the Viet Cong .- occupied hamlet that resembled an island in a vast sea of rice paddies.

PFC Russell Needham, North Platte, Neb., PFC John Meitus, Eagle River, Wjs., and myself were successful in penetrating the western edge of this village, taking a position near a small well that formed a junction between several trails. · Meitus passed a hand grenade to me, saying, ,.,Things are too quiet in here. If they're hiding we can use these."

We didn't know then that "Charlie" had us in bis sights, and was anxiously waiting.

On the opposite side Qf this hamlet, Sgt. Donald Moore, Roslyn, N.Y., also gained entry. "I threw a grenade in a bunker, and all hell broke loose," Moore said to the Diplomat and Warrior, a publication of the lOlst Airborne Division.

His actions ignited a battle which was to claim 79 . enemy dead and 22 weapons captured.

As though the explosion was a signal, the enemy opened fire on my team from their concealed positions, barely 40 yards away. Instantly, and with no time to react, I was struck by machine-gun fire and fell to the ground, bleeding from a'. grazing neck wound.

Needham and Meitus stayed by my side, providing protection as best they could. Gunships of the l 76th Aviation Company and Air Force jets quickly arrived, blasting the village with napalm and rockets.

It was then, at the tender age of 18, that I came face-to-face with the realities of death.

As the three of us huddled there on the open ground, unable to fight back at an unseen enemy, I watched the terrified expressions of my two friends as the

bullets entered their bodi~. splattering me with their· blood.

"They need help," shouted Platoon Sgt. Morris Cash, Fayetteville, N.C.1 recall looking back and see.ing his frightened face peering through waist-high bushes. · Specialist 4 Donald Perez, Huntington Park, Calif., ran through the deadly enemy fire to reach my position. "We were really pinned down until the choppers made their run," he said later. "When the gunships hit, Charlie ducked low and we took off."

I was placed immediately on a Medi-vac (an army helicopter ambulance) with the other wounded and flown to the nearest MASH unit.

On that hot, chaotic morning in May, two close friends of mine lost their lives. But to this day, our relationship has not ended.

Both of those soldiers were awarded the Silver Star

posthumously for their actions in saving my life.

I was selected to be an honor guard at the memorial services we held for them later with full company ·attending.

I remember lifting my rifle to the air in harmony with five other paratroopers as taps was being played, firing, and hearing no sounds.

Everything seemed empty to me. I had questions, but no answers. I could feel nothing. I truly felt like a "zombie" on that day.

I remember a war correspondent interviewing me after the services. How can you possibly describe to a total stranger three desperate people clinging together on the threshold of death and one surviving?

In hindsight, I say that reporter used as much courage to do that interview as any soldier would have going on patrol. ·

To this day I keep close contact with RusseU Needham's parents. They live nearby, in North Plait~ Neb., and are a religious, hard-working, and close. knit family. They are typical of America .

Nearly 20 years later, I need only read my mos1 recent letter from his mother to know that Russell Needham is still remembered and greatly missed by lili parents, brothers and sisters.

One day, l intend to travel to North Platte and visi1 my friend's grave. Maybe then, I can properly thanli him and say goodbye.

In this case, a special bond was created by the death of two good friends under tragic circumstances. J know now that I will be affected for the rest of my life by those actions.

Of life's heroes and villains, these two, truly, wen heroes. · · ·· Often, I wonder about the other people I had met throughout my three-year enlistment in the Army.

New Orleans was my home in 1966 and I dropped out of high school hoping to join the Army and see tht world. John Wayne had released his latest movie, "The Green Berets:• which portrayed Southeast Asia as being overrun with communists and on the vergE of political genocide. In conjunction with Wayne'i movie, Barry Sadler's single "The Green Beret''. w~ topping the charts in early 1966.

So, in March, I went to the Custom House on world famous Canal Street, and swore my loyalty to the U.S. Army.

After boot camp, jump school and advanced infantry training, I found myself at the airport, ticket marked "Southeast Asia" in hand.

Patriotism was popular in the south during J966, and much to my embarrassment, a small crowd had gathered to see me off.

On the plane, a man I'd never met before bought me a drink. To this day, when I see a man in uniformJtt a bar, I'll buy his drink, without telling him who did it.

I landed at Tan Son Nhut airbase outside Saigon and found the heat comparable to Louisiana. But everything else was strange.

Strange sounds. Strange odors. It was as if I had entered a 3- D movie. All of a sudden I could smell the fishheads and rice; I was taller than anyone around me.

South Vietnamese soldiers riding gun jeeps were

Death Fashioned Special Bonds

everywhere. Air Force jets screamed ac~ the skies in groups of three. My heart pounded a mile-a-minute.

It was everything I had imagined-and more.

• By September of '66 I was in Tuy Hoa, joining my new unit, the 17th Cavalry of the lOlst Airborne, located on an airstrip near the beaches of the South China Sea. Our days were spent filling sandbags to reinforce our tents and bunkers.

At night, we stood guard-every third hour-peer-fog into total darkness for an enemy we had never·seen before.

Until Thanksgiving. . Constant patrols having no contact with the enemy had lulled us into a false sense of security. Life had become a routine of taking malaria pills and writing , letters to home.

We had just finished an excellent Thanksgiving feast provided by our mess sergeant, and were lounging around our tents watching the sun disappearing slowly behind Chiap Chai mountain.

Villagers reported that Viet Cong were in the area.

Quickly, we mounted jeeps and raced into the town, 1ight into a snipers' ambush. One shot-one death.

On that special night of Thanksgiving, we lost a fellow soldier. Why? Did his parents learn the circumstances of his death?

That night had an impact on all of us, I'm sure.

How does one vent the anger felt that day? We didn't.

We couldn't. Who wants to go on patrol with a soldier ' who breaks down and cries?

When the next morning came, we left on patrol

·showing all the confidence and courage we could muster.

We cried inside, where no one could see. To this day, I still do that.

That anger must be vented later, somehow.

One day, soon after, we escorted South Vietnamese .soldiers into the highlands1 via chopper, providing security as they sprayed detoliants onto rice fields.

The landing zone was hot (Charlie was there, shooting as we approached). We landed, sprayed the fields quickly under sporadic fire and left. We were all hyped-up.

Returning to our camp-flying at tree top level-we passed over a water-buffalo being tended by two small children, a boy and a girl. An American sergeant seated next to me over reacted and began firing his M-16 automatic rifle at them.

I watched as the bullets spun the boy around, slamming him into the side of the beast. Water splashed all around the little girl as she stood waving at us. Then she fell too, face down into the rice fields. The normally grey buffalo was now dotted with patches of bright red, the size of basketballs.

The door gunner on the chopper saw this also and we stared at each other in disbelief, frozen in time.

The sergeant who fired the shots had a dazed look in Jtis eyes.

I dream of those kids, often. And I cry, inside.

When we landed, I confronted the sergeant immediately. A small crowd gathered as I stood toeto-toe- with him, yelling: "Why, why on earth ... ?"

He mumbled incoherently, but gave no reasons or excuses. He just had that serene look on his face. It was .obvious to me that fie had just vented his anger.

I wonder how he deals with that event now. For me, I lost my trt.1$t in all authority that gay, high in the

mountains of South Vietnam.

After that, it .was common practice for us to initiate fake fire-fights whenever a new man-either sergeant or private-was assigned to us. -rhat way we could gauge the behavior of the novice trooper before actual battle.

You would be surprised at how many guys reported seeinR: and even killinR: our fictitious Viet Cong. But pragmatically speaking, it did work. .

From Tuy Hoa, we went to Kontum, Phan Rang, Song Mao, Phan Theit, Khan Duong, Due Pho, Chu Lai, Tam Ky, Boa Loe, Bien Hoa, Da Lat, Phu By, Da Nang, Hue and many, many more places that appeared along Highway 1 from the northern demilitarized zone south to Sail!'.on.

Each village stirs a separate memory for me.

In Kontum, we made a supposedly secret parachute jump, for which I was later awarded a gold star to be placed on my jump wings.

Two days prior to that jump we were interviewed by a female journalist from France.

On the day of the jump, we were told, the French paper, Le Monde, carried the story of our jump including the location ot the drop zone.

Thank goodness Charlie didn't read the French papers because we encountered no hostilities.

So much for prior restraint and trust.

I also trusted the Catholic Churclr"and whenever pomble I attended field masses and gave confessions to the chaplain.

It is true, there are no atheists in foxholes.

In my heart and actions, I kept my allegiance to God and the Catholic Church, as best one could under combat conditions. I was •even able to celebrate Christ's birthday when I received small plastic Christmas trees in the mail, one for each Christmas I spent in Vietnam. .

I counted heavily on my trust · in God to pull me through the traumatic events I was experiencing.

Then, the unbelievable happened.

One day the chaplain came to us in the field and announced that-because of the harsh conditions imposed by war-we could now eat meat on Friday, something that a good Catholic would try his best never to do.

From that day on, I always felt somewhat less protected in those foxholes. My prayers echoed of cynicism.

In January, 1967, we had moved to Phan Rang to patrol Highw~y 1 along the coast. I took many pictures of that area, because it was so beautiful along the rocky beaches.

Then one day business dominated beauty.

We drove our jeeps into a well-orchestrated enemy ambush. The lead vehicle was approaching a bridge that had recently been destroyed. As the column of gun jeeps slowed to a halt, North Vietnamese regulars detonated a mine in the road, directly beneath the last jeep, trapping us in the killing zone.

From the hills to our right side, small arms fire began showering on us. Everyone dismounted to the left, and took cover along the road, with their backs to the sea.

Everyone but me. I felt safety was with that machine gun on the jeep. My decision was a correct one because my actions earned me the Army Commendation Medal for Heroism. The orders read like this: For Heroism in connection with military operations against a hostile force: Private Strother distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous · actions on 31 January 1967 m ....the Republic of Vietnam. The insurgents using automatic fire, semi-automatic fire and mortars were delivering an intense rate of fire in the killing zone. Private Strother immediately returned fire from liis mounted machine gun. From this exposed position and with cpmplete disregard for his own safety and well being, he continued to fire on the enemy until ordered to assist in the recovery of a wounded fellow soldier. He then moved through

,.

heavy fire to a pOQtion from which he could support a medical-aid man by fire in the recovering of the wounded soldier. Private Strother's devotion to duty and personal courage were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

The irony is that it wasn't until Se11tember-; 1983 that the awar4 was finally recorded on my DD-214 (discharge papers). Better late than never.

My dog tags, another source of pride for me, were recently stolen by a thief looking for money. I hate to

-...

think of them discarded in some trash dumpster. They deserve better.

Nearly a year after Phan Rang, our company dug in on the outskirts of Chu Lai. Our mission was · perimeter security. We found it necfSary to refortify our bunkers, because Viet Cong guerillas were firing mortar rounds into us every night, usually scoring a bull's eye on the center of our camp with deadly accuracy.

Each evening at dusk, we sent out patrols hoping to find some indication of Charlie's (Victor Charlie is correct ai;my radio procedure for V.C.) positions.

They all ended with no success. How were they able to fire on us with such pinpoint accuracy, we wondered.

Then one day, as we were sitting together near the headquarters tent waiting for the regular ..hot toe" (Vietnamese for haircut), the cause of our late night fireworks display became evident.

Someone noticed that the ever-smiling, always polite, neighborhood Vietnamese barber was walking in straght lines and counting paces quietly to himself, as he arrived.

Bingo! We eliminated the opportunistic barber, and once again, our camp was relatively safe. No more mortars.

Until a few days later, anyway.

The enemy challenged our positions from every direction and forced w to withdraw to an airstrip nearby. They advanced on us quickly, pinning us behind sandbag walls and Air Force shipping containers. Suddenly, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

North Vietnamese soldiers by the score, wearing new camouflage uniforms and carrying AK-47 automatic rifles, were overrunning the base. There was complete chaos as soldiers of both sides ran helterskelter, shooting at anything that moved.

An Air Force C-130 Hercules lifted off the airstrip slowly with a load of desperate paratroopers, mostly cooks and clerical personnel from my company.

Then, as I watched from concealment, enemy groundfire struck the plane's starboard wing. One motor burst into flames as the pilot tried desperately to gain altitude. Then suddenly the plane banked, circled and came back in for a tire-screeching landing.

I suppose the pilot decided it best to land near American soldiers, than to crash in the jungles somewhere.

Murphy's law prevailed, though.

Apparently, in flight the wind pressure suppressed the flames. But after coming to a stop on the edge of the runway, the entire center of the plane erupted in a ball of fire, momentarily catching the attention of everyone at the airstrip that day-the day the enemy cont. ;.,,, f'O«r 14

launched the famous Tet offemive of 1968.

I photographed the plane leaving, circling, and landing 100 yards from my position.

Many brave soldiers died that day, from both sides.

Shortly after, I too was evacuated in a very quick and very narrow Air Force plane called the Caribou.

As a paratrooper, I was privileged to fly in many types of military aircraft.

Of them all, I enjoyed the Huey chopper the most.

Some evenings we would mount up, three to a chopper, and fly at tree-top level on missions called "Eagle flights."

They were for search and reconnaissance mostly but one evening they flew us into insanity.

Viet Cong had killed a U.S. military policeman during mine-sweeping operations on a road near Tam Ky. A thin wire trailed from the area of explosion to trees in the distance.We were ordered to land quickly ii}. the area, sweeping the tree line for Viet Cong.

Within minutes I spotted a man dressed in military clothing ducking into a large drainage pipe under the road.

Cautiously, I approached and ordered him to surrender. The other opening had caved in, so he came out peacefully, though reluctantly.

I was surprised to see that he was_ younger than me.

After securing his hands behind his back, I seated him against a tree, shaded from the glaring sun. We communicated, through a mixture of Vietnamese and American and I determined that he was not alone. He told· me that he was 14 years old and that he had just arrived in South Vietnam.

I stared at his childlike face in disbelief. He reminded me of a neighbor that we used to play army with in my back yard, just four years before.

He was afraid of me and continuously bowed his head. He was human, I thought. How would his mother feet, if she.saw him now?

Suddenly he looked over my shoulder, his eyes locked on something behind me, and he froze.

He saw an American officer,. a captain, standini;i; on a small hill behind us. The officer charged forward, bellowing; "I want no prisoners. He (Charlie) blew that M.P. to pieces. Kill him!" The captain stared at me with cold eyes and I felt the message clearly. He wanted this boy included in the body-count.

I refused. I told the captain the prisoner had surrendered peacefully and there was no reason to harm him.

Shaking with anger, the officer ordered me to bring my prisoner and follow him. By now the young communist soldier had lowered his head, in fear of what the officer might do. When I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him to his feet, he almost began crying. I comforted him, telling him that he was "number 1, ok," that no one would hurt him.

A hundred meters or so up the trail, we turned the corner and again my prisoner froze in place, staring at the ground. He recognized one of his fellow comrades, lying face up in the sand. From the eyebrows up he had been decapitated by an M-16 bullet.

The captain grabbed my prisoner by the hair and forced him to his knees, shoving his face inside the exposed skull of his friend. He held him there, saying things I can't repeat, until the young soldier gagged for air.

My legs weakened, I felt sick, and I too gasped for air.

I had promised safety to the North Vietnamese teenager and stood by helplessly as the captain took · my prisoner away, for further interrogation.

Someone later described to me the horrible circumstances of that prisoner's death. I'm amazed at the ingenuity of our army's superiors.

I wonder, how does that officer sleep at night? Does , he dream of ambushing children?

The deadly ambush was something we all feared. _However careful the lead man on patro_l m~ght have

been, we always knew Charlie could be near by. This anxiety kept us on edge all the time. / Once, we were patrolling outside of Phan Theit, an area known for underground bunkers and miles of connecting tunnels. Charlie was always evading us by use of these concealed rooms or passages.

Then all that changed.

Scout dogs and their handlers were assigned to patrol with us. On the very first mission, I was amazed at how the dog and handler uncovered a bamboo ·airvent-hidden in a row of shrub-bushes-that delivered fresh air 25 feet b~low to a 10 foot by 10 foot room holding several Viet Cong guerillas.

It took a hand grenade down that air pipe to convince the enemy to emerge.

I'll never forget the look on the face of the prisoner when he was told that a dog had discovered his position.

The enemy quickly iearned to fear our scout dogs.

Viet Cong were skilled at survival and they realized . the threat posed by the canines would probably cost them dearly if they didn't come up with a solution, soon.

We read words like '1iippie," "pot," "make love not war," "sit-ins," "draft dodging" and we wondered about the break in traditions back home. We always thought of home.

Every man knew his deros, and counted down to • that day.

DERO'S: Date Estimated Return Over Seas.

When that day came for me I heard the news over a PRC-25 communications radio, as I lay prone in a rice paddie, contemplating the village ahead of me. We were advancing against small arms fire originating from the vicinity of a small group of houses. The radio crackled that "the slick (chopper) was coming in to pick up 22-Bravo"-that was my code name-"to return him to the land of the big PX." That meant DEROS. Going home. Stateside.

I retreated to a safe position, popped red smoke (marking my position for the aircraft), then waited , eagerly for acknowledgement of the proper color by the pilot. From the moment the chopper finally arrived.- removing me from my friends with only a quick goodbye over the radio- to the time I was at the airport in New Orleans, a mere 72 hours had elapsed.

This time, no one was there to greet me.

I remember sitting on my Mom's couch with a glass of cold water in hand, watching the war on television.

Classic culture shock.

Even now I feel alienated, somewhat left behind.

Today I'm left with memories. Often they come in the form of recurring nightmares and intrusive thoughts. These thoughts are usually based on questions unanswered. Questions of events the average 18-year-old American does not normally confront.

Often, in my dreams, I relive being in a huge white house, lookindi'.g oudt of a. top flhoor wth·nhdow and seeinhg enemy so1 ers a vancmg t roug t e trees on t e ground below. I begin to panic as I hear them coming through the house, searching for someone, opening doors and shooting wildly.

I hear sounds of rifles being loaded and the clammer of boots against the door to my room. Soldiers are speaking loudly to each other as if to purposely warn me of their entrance. In my dream I have no weapon and I am defenseless.

The door opens slowly and at the last second I awake, convinced that I am there and it is Vietnam, 1968.

Sometimes I can see the faces of the soldiers below and they are the peeple that I served with. Sometimes they are the heroes and other times they are the villains.

And that's the purpose of this whole story. I've said • things here that I have never told to even my closest friends before.

I do this in the hope that my experiences with heroes and villains can offer some perspective to the events that you may encounter in life.

We were told during training that North Vietnamese were V.C., Cong, communists, killers, gooks, slant-eyes; reds, snipers, possible body-counts, villains and other dehumanizing names that made it possible for us to fear and hate them.

We were never told they were human.

Today, 10 years after the withdrawal of our soldiers from Vietnam, what have we learned? Nothing.

The leader of our country calls the democratically elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua a bunch of dangerous communists.

More labels.

Different people.

Is there really a threat that the Sandinistas might push through Mexico, invading Texas, and not stop their drive of "red" conquest until thev comoletelv surround and occupy Washington, D .C.?

I'm just as patriotic today as I was nearly 20 years ago when I answered my country's call to service.

I have become more vigilant though, in questioning the motives of most people, no matter who they are.

Some might call that paranoia.

I call it reaction.

. So, one moonless night, after chow was over and everyone had gathered behind the mess tent to watch an outdoor movie, Charlie made his move.

V.C. sappers (explosive experts) entered our camp, blew up the dogs (sleeping . in pens) and escaped untouched.

I'm thankful today that I took some photographs of those courageous German Shepherds and their handlers.

I was influenced to such a degree by them that' ! pursued the field of animal behavior after my return to the states and eventually trained dogs professionally for 12 years.

I must say it has been therapeutic for me, working with man's best friend. They are always with you, no matter what mood you are in.

As an instructor-trainer, I strived to relay that feeling to hundreds of people during the years.

Again, a relationship formed by death. The death of the dogs. To me those dogs were real heroes.

Vietnam in 1968 was confusing at best. Letters from home and what newspapers we could gather informed us of new events happening in America; War heroes we~e no longer in vogue.

April 10, 198Ei,

E for Emotion Missing in 'Hot L' Taking place over a 48 hour period of time, Hot L Baltimore attempts to give us a glimpse into the lives of an oddball group of characters living on the flophouse fringe of society.

Presiding over the residents of the Hotel Baltimore is night desk clerk Bill Lewis (Christopher Stephen). Like any self-respecting night clerk, Bill just wants to put in his ho1:lrs, read his magazines and not be bothered. I suspect Bill is playwright Lanford Wilson's revenge on the "Don't ask qie, I only work here" apathy of the service § industry.

Ji However, Bill always seems to be · .5 torn between irritation at, and affec-. tion for the eclectic group of hotel residents who complicate his night Mr. Morse (Daniel Murray) ' shift.

Stitzel is just flophouse who face the extinction of a bit too fresh-faced and "gee-whizish" their way of life due to the scheduled to convincingly come across as a prodemolition of the "Hotel Baltimore." stitute though.

In pursuit of that goal, the MSC Hope Phelon's characterization of Players production of Hot L Baltimore Millie, the spinster who seems to be the manages to showcase some individual spiritual godmother to the residents of talent and gives us a fair amount of the hotel, is quite well done. Phelon comedy, but doesn't quite succeed, in displays a mastery of the Southern portraying the pathos of the situation. accent and the prim, ethereal man-

Salley Gunter and Suzanne Dirksen in "Hot L Baltimore. nerisms of an aging Southern Belle.

Probably the two most dynamic stage presences belong to the two other hooker characters in the play: April Green (Sally Gunter) and Suzy (Suzanne Dirksen).

Gunter's portrayal of April as a foulmouthed, slatternly floozy is pretty much on the mark. Her cynical observations on the men in her life and her badgering of the hotel staff are quite aqmsing.

Dirksen has the mannerisms of the dizzy, dumb blonde down to an art in her characterization of Suzy. Her almost overpowering performance had the audience's attention riveted on her when she was on stage. We don't see enough of her in Hot L Baltimore.

Daniel Murray also deserves special mention for his performance as Mr. Morse, a fussy old codger who inhabits the hotel. Murray does a marvelous job of depicting a doddering, palsied old man on the brink of senility. Unfortunately, his character is just a bit too whiny to inspire a lot of compassion.

-' The MSC Players production of Hot L Baltimore does a pretty good job of moving an ensemble cast in and out of some amusing comedy scenes.

However, the action gets just a little too ffenetic at times with as many as six people carrying on at once.

For a group of people who face eviction from their place of residence, the cast seems fairly unconcerned about their fate. There seems to be little emotion brought to the surface that their oddball fringe of humanity always_ seems to bear the brunt of urban development progress, and that most of them have no place else to go.

I wish I could reward the MSC ' Players with a glowing review, but unfortunately, Hot L Baltimore left me with a lukewarm impression-it nad, some funny comedy scenes, but overall it didn't show much emotional depth to its. characters and the situation · they were in.

Having said all that, why not give the MSC Players some positive rein-_ forcement for all their hard work and effort, and catch one of the remaining performances of Hot L Baltimore on the 11th, 12th, or 13th. It's free for MSC students-and the audience around me seemed to be enjoying D· themselves.

Student Activities Local Folk Singer presents Testing Musical Waters

The Award Winning One Hour Condensed Version of

A MUSICAL REVUE IN AND AROUND HARLEM 1922-1949

Richard Beattie's quintessential voice has been captivating audiences around the country for several years now, and in the coming weeks he will be performing at a variety of music spots around town.

The native New Yorker, whose gentle voice has often been compared to that of James Taylor, moved to Colorado after the folk scene dried up in his native state several years ago.

Beattie will team with Linda Maich this 1 Friday night as Swallow Hill presents an evening songwriters program, and will be singing Sunday night in conjunction with Creative Heights productions at Together Books at East Colfax ,\venue and York Street.

Beattie has made his living singing at various clubs around town for several years now, but now supplements the performances with a full-time job.

Two years ago, Beattie landed a record contract with Comstock Records and recorded a single for the company. at the Sound Emporium in Nashville.

The single, "The Power of Love," received moderate airtime at radio stations around the country, but since Comstock was in charge of the arangements for the record, the sound was quite different than Beattie's usual style.

Beattie admitted, however, that it was gratifying the first time he heard himself on the radio.

He was driving through Fort Collins one day and happened to pick up a Greeley radio station in his car.

"They were playing 'The Power of Love,' " Beattie said. "I said, 'Hey, that's me,' and rolled down all of the windows."

Following the release of "The Power of Love," which had another Beattie tune on the flip side, "Effortless Fool," Comstock wanted the singer to do another single. He refused, however, hoping to land an album deal.

Beattie, who lives downtown with his wife Jill arrd 3-year-old son Christian, has a variety of projects in the works.

He started Creative Heights, but has since turned that over to someone else, and has been working off and on to produce a children's tape on which both he and Jill will sing.

The tape, which will have a book of illustrations to accompany it, will be a combination of traditional children's songs and some that Beattie has writfen.

That project has been put on hold for the time being, though, as Beattie tries to juggle his singing schedule and his job along with his responsibilities at home.

Beattie has sung in many types of establishments, including taverns, college assemblies and bars, but has found wording with mentally handicapped children and adults especially rewarding.

"It's kind of a special experience,'' he said. "It's a type of therapy for them."

Of all the gigs Beattie has played, he has found bars the least enjoyable and has vowed to stay away from them in the future.

"You have to listen to a million requests," he said. "And you come home smelling like cigarette smoke."

When Beattie first started singing as a teenager, "American Pie" by Don McLean was one of his favorite songs.

And one of the high points of Beattie's career came last year when he opened for McLean at the Turn of the Century.

Beattie's Friday night performance starts at 8:30 and admission is $4. He will be playing at 2280 South Columbine. For more information, call 393-6202.

His Creative Heights concert starts Sunday night at 7 and admission is $3.

For more information, call 698-1669.

Slugger's Slump Bites the Dust MSC Baseball team gets back on win.11ing track, takes Regis and School of Mines

by Lori Martin-Schneider Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

Not even the weather could put a damper on Coach Bill Helman's hap• piness last weekend, when his men's baseball team broke its losing streak by beating Regis College Saturday, 6-5, 16-10, and Colorado School of Mines on Sunday, 16-4, 10-3.

"I couldn't have been happier to have been cold," Helman said. The · ..Saturday games almost were cancelled because of cold, cloudy weather. Three double-headers were cancelled last week for that reason, but Helman used his unexpected week off wisely.

"We really worked on hitting well in practice," Helman said. "Almost everyone raised their average this week." The Roadrunners connected for 23 hits against Regis, and 28 hits against Mines.

In the first game against Regis the Roadrunners came out fighting. Ronn " Wells hit a triple in the top of the first inning, bringing in Shawn Hoben to score, and putting the Roadrunners ahead 1-0.

In the second inning, Todd Vaughn hit a single, followed by a double from Doug Southard. ·Doug Montgomery grounded out to short, driving in Vaughn, and soon after Southard

Roadrunner Shawn Hoben returns safely to first in the MSC/Regis double-header Saturday. scored on a wild pitch to Hoben. That brought MSC to 3, Regis 0.

Regis came back to score two in the fourth and three in the sixth, but their effort was futile.

Montgomery walked in the fourth, stole second, and scored on a double by Hoben. MontgQIDery singled again in the sixth, got to second on a sacrifice by Keith Schulz, and scored on a single by

Wells. Hoben scored the final run; Craig Bonato was accredited with the RBI. The-Roadrunners took the first game 6-5, and Coach Helman was on a roll.

"If we had lost that first game, everything might have been different," Helman said. "We were just warmer than they were."

Weber is accredited the win, Wells

the save, and Wardell the loss.

In the second game against Regis, the third was the magic inning for the Roadrunners.

Regis scored one run in the bottom of the second, leaving the Roadrunners behind 1-0.

Rick Baumann walked on, stole second, grabbed third on a wild pitch, and scored when Montgomery connected for a double.

Schulz walked, Hoben singled, and the bases were loaded. Wells then grounded out, Montgomerv scored.

Hoben went to second, and Schulz to third.

Randy Hodges walked on, and the bases were loaded again. Vaughn came up to bat, hit a single and rounded to third on a fielder's error. This brought 1 in Hodges and Hoben to score.

Southard went to first on a thirdbaseman error, -which brought in Vaughn from third. Eric Strader, pinch-runner for Southard, stole seeond base when Baumann was at bat.

Baumann doubled, and scored Strader.

Coach Helman had everything going his way.

"We out matched them," he said.

"We didn't play sloppy, we played good."

The MSC Men's rugby club is on a one-year, formal probation after its rowdy victory "celebration" in a Monument restaurant last month. · In a letter to President Paul Magelli, James Medchill, owner of the Stone Fort Steak H~mse, asks for payment "t? the Steak House for $485 .in damages" because of the destruction of the restaurant front sign, and destruction of the bathroom ceiling and air purifier.

Medchill does not ask for payment for the cleaning up of blood that had to be done when "most of the team decided to pierce their ears ·with plastic drink swords stolen from my ba_rtender." He also doesn't ask for payment for bites on the buttocks of the waitress.

Dick Feurborn, director of Campus Recreation, has taken measures to reprimand the team, and feels it needs to be aware that it represents the college when it is in uniform.

"I would like to let them know they represent MSC," ' Feuerborn said.

"They need to take that responsibility more seriously.".

Feuerborn has asked the team to write letters of apology to owner, attend an alcohol awareness program, • . and do public service on the campus.

His main concern is that the players will drink and drive.

"If one of them were in a car accident, that wowd be the heart-breaker for us," Feuerborn said. "It would make me sick to be attending a funeral · ' because of this."

Feuerborn said the rough image surrounding the sport has been a proble~ before. He said sessions on how to deal with the situation have been held to attemp to diminish "the genre that is around rugby."

Feuerborn quoted Medchill as saying the team never got violent, just out of hand. Medchill also reprimanded his servers for serving, what one source claims to have been 15 pitchers of beer.

Feuerborn said the team members are "young, vibrant individuals, and I don't want to see their life messed up (because of drinking)."

come-back, scoring 10 runs, but MSC couldn't be stopped. The final was MSC 16, Regis 10. Pitcher Tim Collins got his first win, and Shaun Kerrick a save.

And on Easter Sunday, they got even meaner.

The Colorado School of Mines fell to MSC 16-4, and 10-3. According to assistant coach Eric Larson, the Regis game was more important, "since we have to beat Regis and DU in final standings to go to the play-offs."

Darden gets the win for the first game, which went only five innings since MSC had ten runs by the fifth. , Snow gets the win for the second game which went full seven. Coach Helman was worried about the Mines game.

"I was worried we'd let down," he said. "Mines can usually take one out of four (games)."

Helman commended Hoben's contribution to the team.

"(Five double plays) is the most rve ever seen for a Metro team (in one weekend)," Helman said. Hoben claims it was certainly a team effort.

"I feel pretty good about it ... I couldn't look good without everyone else," Hoben said. "I think we're due to break out."

The Roadrunners will compete this weekend in the Denver Tournament, aQd Hoben expects the team to fare well.

.MSC Softball Takes Third in Tourney .

.

the girl who made the last out is placed on second base as a runner when her team returns to bat.

Coach Romero feels the rule is needed and is justifiable. "I think it is a good rule," he said. "It helps to move the game along."

And move the game along it did.

Amidst 32-degree temperatures, snow, rain, and wind Metro beat St. Mary's 4-3.

Game four was against the Univer-

by Lori Martin-Schneider Sports Editor, The Metropolitan

The MSC women's softball team finished in third place last weekend at t'he St. Mary's College Tournament in Omaha, Neb., losing to Kearny State in the semi-final game on Saturday, 1-0.

Kearny State scored in the second inning after third baseman Mary .Munger committed a three- base error and catcher Kelly Schmaltz missed a high pitch for a passed ball. Although it was early in the game, the Roadrunners couldn't score to tie it up.

Head Coach Jim Romero expected a little more. · "We should've won (the tournament)," Romero said. "I was hoping to · have done better ... (but) we weren't aggressive enough with Kearny State."

According to Romero, Kearny State has won the majority of the big tournaments . ..... The eight teams were divided into two pools of four-the blue pool and the gold pool. MSC won the blue pool, beating the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, in the first game, 11-4. Liz Miret pitched the entire game.

In the second game, MSC beat lindenwood College 9-2. Marie Martin pitched the entire game. Coach Romero said he feels Martin is responsible for a lot of the team's enthusiasm.

"Marie Martin is the one who puts the team where they are," Romero '5aid. "She has team leadership, a good attitude, and spirit."

In the third game, which Romero referred to as MSC's best game in the totlrnament, the Roadrunners took on St. Mary's.

Metro put the first number on the board, scoring one run in the top of the seventh, but St. Mary's came back and tied it up in the bottom of the seventh.

An international rule was started this season that applies to this situation: if~­ game is tied after seven innings of play,

sity of Wisconsin, River Falls, and it was here that the Roadrunners made their biggest come back.

At the bottom of the sixth, the Roadrunners were down 6-0. But in the top of that lucky number seven, the team turned on its batting magic and scored eight runs.

"We hadn't been hitting the ball, but then - everything fell into place," Romero said. H,e claimed the opposing coach was almost as chilly as the

weather. "She was so mad ... talk about giving dead looks, this coach's look could've knocked us all over."

MSC won it 8-6.

Homero teels the sport should be more than a game.

"It's the fun of winnin'1' that connl'i."

Romero said, "and everyone wants to wm or they wouldn't be out there."

The Roadrunners will take on the Colorado School of Mines on Tuesday at home.
