Working Students Could be Hurt
M O.U 's ·Effects Cause Confusion by Kevin Vaughan and Robert Davis Editor, NeiDI Editor, The Metropolitan
The document drafted by the Joint Budget Commit-
~ of the Colorado Legislature calling for an end to
:tSC's open enrollment policy has caused confusion among education officials-both on and off campus. According to Ken Curtis, associate vice president
and·dean of MSC's AdmWions and Records office, the biggest cnange which MSC will see if the document is approved is a change in the deadline by which students apply for admmion to the college. The so-called "Memorandum of Understanding" was drafted by the JBC and requires 80 percent of MSC students to meet two of three entrance requirements: . •A high school grade point average of 2.5 ..
•Rank in the upper twO-thirds of high school graduating class. •A score of 810 on the SAT or 19 on the ACT. Curtis said presently students can apply for admission to Metro as late as 10 days before a particular semester begins. That deadl~ne, he said, would be moved back-to at least a month before a semester
begins.
.
'°This has always been different from most institutions in that it's designed to allow the working person to go to school at a moment's notice," he said. He said working students who suddenly realize they need tQ._ further their education don't plan ahead for college tbe way graduating high school students do. And that, he said, makes Metro the perfect choice for them to continue their education. Legislators have said the memorandum's guidelines are needed to consolidate higher education in Colorado and to raise academic standards at all of the state's schools. According to S.t anley Kaplan, who runs the Stanley Kaplan Education Center in East Brunswick, N.J., money should not be used as an excuse for upping admissions requirements. "I'm a great believer in upping standards," Kaplan said. "But I don't want standards to be used as an excuse for saving money." Curtis agreed with Kaplan in the money should not be used as a predetermining factor for upping standards. "It's (the MOU) to cut down on the number of students going into four-year colleges and put them into junior colleges," Curtis said. "You're doing something for the state at the expense of the students." Kaplan, however, said that it's not the job of fouryear institutions to work on skills which students should have learned in high school. "I don't think it's the objective of four-year colleges to work on these basic, basic skills," Kaplan said last week. But Curtis said that many students attending MSC are employed full-time and could not afford to start school at a junior college elsewhere in the state. "You go into one of these classrooms and ask some of these students if they would be willing to go somewhere else for their education," Curtis said. He predicted the answer would be no. Kaplan said that if four-year colleges were to carry the burden of beginning training for students it would cont. on pap 4

.Star Wars AttacMd
Chemistry Professor Sees Wasted by Penny Faust Special to The Metropolitan
路 A noted MSC chemistry prof~r presented a lecture series examining the so-called Star Wars weapons system and advocated an end to space-based weapons research. At the lectures, Niels Schonbeck, ~iate professor of chemistry at MSC, explained what the Star Wars
system is about, how it originated, and why he thinks it should be stopped. In the late 1960s, he explained, the United States had the Sentinal system that was designed to defend the population. When Richard Nixon came into office, he decided the U.S. would no longer protect the people, but would instead protect the missile sites. "Our missiles are vulnerable," Schonbeck said. "They (the Soviets)
can see us constructing them from their satellites. For every ICBM silo we have, they have a couple of weapons aimed at it. If you want to thwart a first strike from the other side, you want to insure that your weapons are safe." But with our new MIRVed missiles (Multiple, Independently-targetable, Re-entry Vehicles) which carry 10 to 14 warheads each, Schonbeck said he believes the U.S. has actually made a
~
more vulnerable and inviting target. When thinking about a first strike, he explained, the first thing a country wants to do is take out missiles the other side has. Defense experts have said it will take at least two warheads for each ... silo, because of accuracy problems and other uncertainties. "You only have to use two warheads to take out a misssile that has ten," Schonbeck said. "Now you have a five to one ratio in your favor. So what -. MIRVed warheads do is that they invite a first strike rather than discourage it." During President Reagan's Star Wars speech in March of 1983, scientists were invited "to invent a system that will render (all) nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete." What they came up with is space based missile stations. Hence, Star Wars came into play. Schonbeck pointed out that the U.S. has been and is currently funding research for weapons to be used in space, at over $1 billion a year. Soon, ~ Congress is going to be asked to fund an additional $3.7 billion to continue the program. The system has been estimated to cost $1 trillion. The space based battle stations would attack ml$iles in the boost stage, ~ before they get into the atmosphere. "The attraction of the boost phase," Schonbeck said, "is that you have all I your warheads and decoys still under ' the shroud, all in one missile." But if the missiles can't be destroyed in the boost phase, Schonbeck explained, then at .least 10 warheads plus decoys must be tracked, determined to

take tough academic rules to insure progress. "The less you expect from students," Kaplan said, "the less you'll get from them." Curtis said that schools with higher admissions standards don't always ) demand as much progress from students as schools with lower standards. He said that at a school like Havard, students come in at a very high level and leave at only a slightly higher level. At schools like Metro, he said, students are admitted at a lower level and make much more progress than students at other schools. "Now my feeling is the better is to bring people in and move them up more," Curtis said. "I think what -. you're trying to do in a system where democratic rule is supposed to be a value is to educate people where they have the best chance of succeeding." Curtis also said that he wouldn't favor moving students from community colleges to four-year colleges to graduate schools. "I don't believe in moving from school to school," he said. "Could one of our prominent universities refuse instate students who don't meet the standards and take out-of-state students who do?" D

This is bad, he said, because there is ,- no -way you can test this defensive system, "You have just one chance to see if it • works. Boom, that's it." Schonbeck painted out that "Nuclear weapons are so destructive that you can not get away with a defense that is less than - perfect." Even if the satellite system proved to be worth the billions of dollars it will cost to initiate it, Schonbeck reminded the audience that there then would be the need to build a defense system for _,. the satellites. All of this, he pointed out, would still not protect America from cruise missiles, submarine launched ballistic missiles and suitcase JD.Wiles. Schonbeck believes the time is right to put an end to the arms race. .r "The Soviets now have a working system," he said. "We are about to test a system tliat will leap-frog theirs in· sophistication. There is no more perfect time now than to sign a treaty with the Russians barring anti-satellite _weapons ...That would at least indicate ~to the Soviets that we have intentions of stopping it (the arms race)." ,.
"Ronald Reagan is the only ~a~ :with the political' p0wer to make a tum about, pull the conservatives with him, and sign a decent arms control treaty;·· he added. Schonbeck said he hopes that Reagan would want to go down in history as being an effective president with regard to the nuclear problem. "Then his political power with conservatives would actually have a tum to the good with the whole nuclear issue." 0

RTD Gives Student Pass Final OK by Tom Deppe En~inment
Editor, The Metropolitan
The student bus pass is now a permanent part of RTD's fare structure and has shown a spectacular increase in sales at the Auraria Book Center's Convenience Store outlet during the past six months. ' Following public hearin~ held on March 25, the student pass was made a permanent part of the fare structure by a unanimous vote of the 13 members present at the RTD board meeting on March 26. :Sill Rourke, RTD board chairman, characterl7.ed the student pass as "an experiment that for most considerations worked." Rourke said the increased numbers of students riding the bus system confirmed the usefuln~ of the issue. Bus pass sales figures obtained from Judy Sieler of the Auraria Book Center's cash control office confirm the popularity of the student pass on the Auraria campus. Sieler said in October of 1984, prior to the stude11t pass, the convenience store sold 122 bus passes-all nondiscounted. Value of the sales was $2,928. For the month of November, 1984, the first month the student pass was

The April sales results show a whopping 900 percent increase in the number of passes sold and a more than 600 percent increase in revenue when com- "" . pared with October 1984's results, before the student discount pass came into being (results are for the Auraria Convenience Store outlet only.). Long lines at the Auraria Book Store Convenience Store at the end of March and beginning of April were also ·• evidence of the popularity of the student bus pass. "We're just C1ot set up to handle a. deluge like that," Convenience Store employee Keith Levise said. Levise recommended that students start buying their passes when they come out in the middle of the month and not to wait until the last few days of the month. To purchase a RTD student bus pass co at the convenience center, the student } must present current identification i:tl from one of the Auraria campus schools, the University of Colorado at Boulder, CU Medical Center, or a picture ID and a current class schedule. Only one bus pass is allowed per student. Student bus pass rates are: $8 for the -, circulator, $16 for the local, $24 for the express, and $40 for the.regional. 0

MSC -Government Report The elections for· Student Government are now halfway over. The newly elected officers will take office May 17. Student Government has been nothing but a joke this past year and I'm just as much to blame as anyone else. We started out with all these great ideas that quick_ly became forgotten. I don't envy the new student government. It will have a tough job ahead of it. The lethargy on this campus is tremendous and getting people to work effectively is like trying to move a boulder. It is so frustrating to try and get things done when everyone just talks but doesn't take any action. Words may sound nice but they don't accomplish anything. I would like to thank some people who gave me advice and helped me through - · some trying times this past year-namely Dr. Jett Conner of the Political Science Department, Mr. Gary HolbrooJt of the S~h Department, Fred Hopkins of the Alumni Association, and Dave Sutherland~ who was, the former vice president of
Student Govemm!-'nt. I truly appreciate the time they took to listen and help me deal with Student Government. According to Dr. Golding, Student GQvernment is supposed to be a learning experience. Instead, it's turned out to be a battleground for personality conflicts. When a group is constantly fighting within itself, it only hurts itself. The so called impeachments were only a stalemate of this administration. If only we weren't motivated by our personal goals, maybe we could do something worthwhile for the benefit of MSC. Student Government represents the students of MSC and not the private interests of individual student government officers. I am not running again because I plan to graduate in May. Anyway, it's been real and it's been interesting, and not necessarily in that order. Oh, I almost forgot. I would also like to thank Dave Olsen for encouraging Dave Sutherland and I to stick it out during the impeachments. Muchly disgusted, Lisa Espinlu

Former Army Pilot Blasts Met's Vietnam Coverage Editor: As a part time Metro student and a former Army pilot with two tours in Vietnam, I have read with interest the recent feature items regarding the war. Greg Pearson's article, which conformed neatly with the politics of despair, was all too predictable. The central theme of his. article was "Where is the hope now?", and ended with a plaintive, though trite, "Why". My flying skill resulted in a good job, that is until airline deregulation and phony bankruptcy intervened. Still, that hope we had back then has served us well th'rough re-entry in education and a mid-life career change. In fact most of the vets I know still carry with them that hope, idealism, and toughness. It's something we took with us. After all, hasn't America always belonged to the optimists? "Why? An overwhelming majority of us who served in Vietnam still believe that our cause was just. Better yet, 66 percent of us would go back and fight the same
cause. Include me iii that number. The fact is that the war was- winnable in 1966. Through resolute action, thousands of lives could have been saved on both ·sides. The piece by Mike Strother was more bothersome. First of all, no one went back for a second tour with the lOlst without having some idea why he was there. The "Mea Culpas" are probably good for A's in journalism class. I do feel that the blood and guts stories are probably better shared with other vets. They only reinforce the stereotypes of those who will never forget, care, or understand. The Sandinistas really aren't any more noble than were the Viet Cong. Let them export their phony little revolution to Mexico, and the next generation of boat people will swim for America. Do you really relish having another SovietCuban missile base at our throats? God love you Brother. How about a Vietnam Veteran's Day at Metro? We'll even let the journalists come if they can ever decide whose side they're on. John Ulbinslcy Aerospace
Editor Defends Nam Stories· Churches Attacked Again Mr. Ulbinsky, what the hell gives you the right to take issue with the appropriateness of these two stories? As a veteran, you should understand the need t talk about some of the horrible things which happened over there. I know Greg Pearson and Mike Strother well, and I can assure you that they didn't write what they did looking for a pat on the back. They wrote so that other people might understand the trauma involved with war. Furthermore, I can't understand your 'ratipnal for saying "the blood angd guts stories are probably better shared with1 other vets." For Mike Strother, writing was a type of tberapy-a chance to get some things out of his system which he has been carrying around for a long time. I have to ask myself if you, as a pilot, missed some of the horrible carnage and suffering that occured in Vietnam. If that's the case, then maybe there is an exc for your letter. Thank You Kevin Vaughan !
P.S.
Don't get me wrong: I do appreciate your input, out I think you are somewhat misguided in your opinion.
'Under A Rock' Criticized Dear Editor: Isn't it bad enough that we have people with the mind of a child (James Churches) writing such garbage as Under A Rock (April 10)? Why do you have to jump on the idiot's bandwagon and print it? I would like to see Mr. Churches go to the grief-stricken parents of a child just killed by a drunk driver and explain that-the drunk driver was "just having fun." I have always thought your newspaper at least worthy of toilet paper, but now I see that I was wrong. Show some guts, children; print this. Pat Bruno MSC Student

Innocent of Mailer's seeming preoccupation with catamit~, they ape his arrogance. These muddled would-bes are nothing but prolific. As will happen in such cases, their pens often run ahead of their brains. For want of style, drivel is inked. This, perhaps, explains James Churches' sodden essay in your April 10 issue? Chuck Sade · UCD Student
To the Editor: This letter is in response to two articles presented in the April 10 issue of The Metropolitan. 1.) Why was "Metro Rugby Club Gets One Year Probation" placed on the sports page of the newspaper? Have you reduced vandalism, plastic sword ear piercing masochism, and sexual assault to a mere sport? Vandalism and sexual assault are not funny crimes to be dealt with lightly. The article specifically states that the·team was "asked" to write letters of apology, attend alcohol awareness programs, and do public service. Why were these things not demanded, along with letters of apology to the woman whose personal space they violently invaded. The rugby club should have realized long ago that they represented this school and should now be punished for their acts of immaturity. It make me sick to think these "men" are roaming campus with their hypermale autocentric attitudes. Beware people (especially women) in the Mere and . Mission; who knows where these fun-loving youths will trike again? 2.) In response to "Experienced Pro Defends Drunk Driving," James Churches does nothing of the sort. What he does is merely string together false dilemmas, mob appeals and add fallacies in a semi-poetic manner. He throws n:iorality out with the empty beer cans for the sake of individual hedonism. Mr. Churches states that we should outlaw war instead of drunk driving but I ask him: how is this to be achieved when you can't even get people to stop driving drunk? Innocent people are dying for your "rights," Mr. Churches. There are, howe\ter, two points I agree with. One: let's outlaw hostility, greed, and selfishness. Then maybe The Metropolitan staff will find it in their hearts and minds to rid themselves of do no-gooder blobs of alcoholic rationalizations like James Churches. Second: Let's get mad about millions of our dollars going to finance war and destruction (and newspapers like these) around the globe. _ In conclusion, I must state that my only consolation is that very few people read this newspaper. (based on observation). In light of this insight, perhaps there was a grain of awareness in the Jap. 30 "AHEC Cop" story; maybe as a whole we do have a mature student population! • Gerald Gabisch
MSC Not a Kindergarten Editor: Metropolitan State College is not a kindergarten for the socially handicapped. I _feel that putting the Rugby Club on one year of probation is too mild of a reprimand. This is not the Rugby Club's first offense. They have also verbally abused and threatened students, vandalized the property of other clubs on campus, and have been generally disruptive. , Drunkeness, sexual assault and vandalism are not the actions of "young vibrant individuals." They are the actions of individuals with serious problems.

'
Ten years after America's military role in Vietnam ended with the rescue of a dozen Marines from the roof of the U.S. Emb~ in besieged Saigon, questions about the war and its impact on the Vietnamese culture abound. How did the W estem influence that American soldiers introduced to that faraway country change the lives of the Vietnamese people? What-if any-order and progress has tile chameleon-like society of South Vietnam achieved in the 10 years since it was merged with North Vietnam? And finally, has a decade of Marxist-Leninist rule changed the lives of the Vietnamese people in a positive sense or a negative one? To be sure, the once simple lifestyle of the Vietnamese will never again be the same. Likewise, America's experiences in Vietnam molded the course of United States foreign policy for decades following the war. . When the first American military advisors were sent to aid the South Vietnamese in their fight against communism in the late 1950s, they began introducing beliefs and practices which will affect Vietnamese culture for years to come. That influence grew as America's role in Vietnam escalated, and by the mid-1960s-just after the first U.S. combat troops arrived-Vietnamese had already adopted several American economic and social practices. For example, veterans tell of children selling Coca Cola on the battlefields for $1 a bottle, an unheard of sum back in the United States. These veterans also tell of a common reaction to the inflated price. Many would ask themselves a question, "Who are these people to do this when we are here to die for them defending their country?" · In hindsight, however, one veteran said it was wrong to criticize the children, who were trying to support themselves in an economy crippled by war. And th~~- <!* one of several examples of the Viet-

lfferin.g 10 Years After U.S. Pullout automobiles are scarce and the main form of tr8nsportation is ·by bicycle. North and South Vietnam were officially joined in 1976, but today they coexist as though they were two different countries. In the north, life is more restricted than in the south. The basic necessities are more scarce in the north than they are in the south, where the black market has brought many foreign goods-such as Wilson tennis rackets-to the Vietnamese. · ,

..
However, in the decade since America left Vietnam, some order and progress has been restored to ravaged economic and social systems in the country. And though a million survivors of the war have fled the country looking for better lives in other parts of the world (750?000 have settled in the United States), many remain trapped in their homeland. Four out of five of those who remain now f ann for a living, but the conditions are not good. Their techniques have not advanced with the rest of the world and their fields are underproductive. The underp~uc tiveness, combined with a border war with China and a series of typhoons made starvation a possibility for many Vietnamese in the late 1970s. Of the country's $10 billion~ national product, $2 billion is supplied by Moscow-with a large portion of it presumably earmarked to support Vietnam's 1.2 million man army, the fourth largest in the world. But ~ough they are now feeding themselves, econouuc progress in Vietnam is meager, and the per capita income is an incredibly low $125-only about 20 percent that of the per capita income in neighboring Thailand. Luxuries, however, are no longer available for many Vietnamese. One Auraria student who was born and raised in Vietnam but fled to the United States in 1979 via a 15 day boat trip on the treacherous South China Sea, told The . Metropolitan that economic life changed drastically for all Vietnamese citizens after Saigon fell in 1975. "Before the communist takeover, we could buy anything we wanted to," he said. "After the takeover, we had to get an allowance to buy food." Many of the staples this student enjoyed are now only available on the black market. But in many ways, post-war Vietnam is still set in the ways of the early part of the century as
A decade of communist rule has brought the Vietnamese no closer to civil liberties than they ever were. The Auraria student who fled to this country told of a time when the communist government decided to change the country's currency. During the exchange, government officials would only give about half of what the money was worth to the citizens, saying that the rest was needed for taxes. Furthermore, he said, when the communists took over South Vietnam, they commandeered the company he worked for and installed a new corporate president who was a member of the communist pary. From then on, he said, workers could only be considered for promotions if they had joined the communist party. The oommunist rule-hailed to a stagnant Vietnam, one where so many of its citizens praise the government but at the same time are trying to escape the oppression. The Auraria student said the propaganda the communists put out after the takeover serves only their own means and is not in any way the voice of the people. "What the communists say is not true," he said. So what went wrong? It seems that the entire war, from the first advisors to the last 12 Marines, went awry for America, to say the least. But for the Vietnamese, the toll was even higher. During the war with the United States, an amazing. ly high 1.5 million Vietnamese were killed, compared to 58,000 for the United States. And the shocking difference in the death tolls seems to bear out a prediction Ho Chi Minh made to the French in the 1940s. . "Kill ten of our men and we will kiii one of yo the end, it is you who will tire," he sata. urs. 1n The figures translate into 25 Vietnamese killed for every one American who lost his life. But oddly enough, in the end it was the Vielnamese who ended up ruling the country-not the Americans. In Richard Nixon's new book, No M01'e Vietnams, the former president contends that the United States won the war, but proceeded to then lose the peace. And in theory, it would seem that in some ways the U.S. did win the war-that is until 1975 when it took communist forces only 55 days to overrun South Vietnam and capture Saigon. But in many ways, the communists have also lost the peace, as Nixon feels the Americans did, witnessed by the fact that the country has made few advances in the last 10 years and that so many people are actively trying to get out. The Auraria student who escaped in 1979 has a brother who is still living in a refugee camp in Vietnam hoping to one day make his way to the United States. And the student was very outspoken in defiance of the communist government. "The communists won the war, but they lost the people." O

'Lailyhawke' Soars on Escapist Wings Ladyhawke, a Lauren Shuler production directed by Richard Donner, is a medieval, mythological tale of two .lovers fated to be "always together, eternally apart" that dates back to the 13th century.
Broderick, who played the video wizard in War Games, portrays this character with a great deal of wit and charm. At one point, while "the Mouse" is escaping from one of the tun-,._ nels and having to burrow through a wall of clay, he exclaims, "It's not unlike escaping my rriother's womb-God, what a memory."

The mysterious Isabeau of 1'njoy (Michelle ffeiffer)
by Rose Jackson Reporter, The Metropolitan
Spring has finally arrived and the sun once again focuses its sleepy eyes on the earth. However, the dark clouds of the approaching semester's end loom on the horizon, eating a hole in one's psyche with the thought of term papers com-
ing due and final exams to be endured. All of a sudden we need an escape, no matter how temporary, from the academic grind. For those of us who do not have the cash or credit to travel to far away romantic places, oftentimes a good book or movi~ can take the edge off. Ladyhawke, I think, is such a movie.

This sad state of affairs comes about because of the insane jealousy of a corrupt churchman played by John Wood (he also played the computer genius in War Games) . The Bishop of Aquila, as h~ is called, having been spurned by Isabeau, determines that if he cannot have her, no man will, and he solicits help from the Evil One. For two years he comforts himself with thoughts of the wandering lovers and amuses himself with the prisoners kept below in the dungeons of Aquila, the most notorious in the world. Within these dungeons rots Phillipe Gaston, (Matthew Broderick), called "the Mouse" because of his size and his ability to sneak out of difficult situations. "The Mouse," a pickpocket by trade, strikes a bargain with God that if He will guide his way, he'll never steal another purse- but, and this statement is indicative of the charm that pervades this character, if not, there will be no hard feelin~.
Navarre and "the Mouse"
Phillipe ends up being the first man to escape the dungeons alive (he swims through the castle sewers in one of the most gut-wrenching film sequences I have seen in a long time). This makes him a very wanted mail-to Navarre, as a guide to re-enter the city and avenge the bishop's curse, and to the bishop himself, to protect the prison's perfect record .
shallow. The bishop's death, while inevitable in such a story, is far too predictable. However, the wit of "the Mouse," the breathtaking scenery, and the pure escapism of the film lead me to recommend Ladyhawke to anyone looking for a temporary escape from academic anxiety. D

They played for about two minutes and suddenly stopped, whereupon Misha stood up and removed a piece of rubber, used for tuning, from within the piano.

Magelli Eyes ·Division I for Basketball by Lori Martin-Schneider Sports Edltot-, The Metropolitan
