Ne\V MSC Student Governinent Elected by Kevin.Vaughan Editor, The Metropolitan

Over 300 MSC students turned out last week to elect Chris Dahle and Steve Buhai president and vice president of student government- but the election results are unofficial pending any contestations which race losers may lodge. In addition, the 25-member MSC student senate and the student representatives to the Board of Trustees of State Colleges, which governs MSC, were chosen. Dahle finished the election with 201 .votes, handily defeating challenger Laura Ridgell-Boltz who won 81 votes. Buhai garnered 237 votes in his unoppos· ed quest for the vice presidential seat. Similarly, Chris Lynn Avery was unopposed in her bid for the student trustee seat and received 222 votes. Dahle, who formed the Whig party

which many of the contestants ran on, said he )IVas surprised by his wide margin of victory in his race with Ridgell-Boltz. "I had no way of really knowing," Dahle said, "because I was so involved with the election. I was worried about it: right up until ·they announced the results." Election Commissioner Douglas Mewis said the turnout was encouraging, since in the past an average of only 225 students participated in the annual student government elections. However, he also said he expected there would be some changes in the senate makeup before everything becomes official. Over the past year, student government has' been mired in a series of power strµggles which culminated in impeachment attempt against current President Lisa Espiritu ·and former Vice President Dave Sutherland.

"I think the .fact that most of us were running on the same ticket will go a long way in bringing harmony back to student government," Dahle said. "I just hope we can make a difference, because it's been b.s. around here. I mean, things have been pretty fouled up for the last year." But Dahle said getting more students involved in the gov~rning process was even more important to him than eliminating the continual squabbles between the executive and senate branches of government. Dahle said he is planning a variety of activities to reach hi.S goal, including inviting students randomly to be the guests of student government at breakfasts with MSC President Paul Magelli. "If I invite 10 people and one person r<mt.

When the Colorado legislature amended House Bill 1187 to include admissions standards for MSC last week, it also added a clause preventing the Joint Budget Committee from having further influence on college entrance requirements. The. JBC had drafted a memorandum calling for radical changes in the entrance requirements at all Colorado colleges and universities in an effort to raise academic standards and threatened to punish schools that didn't comply with the new guidelines with budgetary cutbacks. The document, called the Memorandum of Understanding, raised the ire of the academic community-so much so that there were four amended versions written before the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges, which governs MSC, signed the memo. According to Senator Regis Groff, D-Denver, H.B. 1187 now requires 80 percent of incoming freshmen to have a high school diploma or its equivalent. Presently, all freshmen are required to have the diploma before they can be admitted to the college. The bill also includes. a provision for non-traditional students, which would make up the other 20 percent of MSC's incoming freshmen. Students are considered nontraditional if they are at least 20-yearsold and have been out of high school for three years or more. The non-traditional students would be admitted to Metro without having a diploma. Groff took issue with the power the sixmember JBC has to make changes in higher education regulations. "At least our 100 legislators ought to have to do it up front, on the table, where the public and the colleges can have something to say," he said last Friday. And Senator Al Mikeljohn, R-Arvada, agreed with Groffs ~ment that the Joint Budget Committee had too much power in academic areas. "We have got to realize that that's where the purse strin~ are," Mikeljohn said. "I don't think they (the JBC) have any business at all doing that-none at all. None in capital letters and underlined. I can tell you this, I'm sure resentful of it.''

Sociology Department Divided by . by Michael Ocrant Asmtant Editor, The Metropolitan

In one of his last official acts before his illness and eventual death in April of 1984, former MSC President Richard Fontera decided to remove Dr. RobertLouis. Gasser as chairman of the Sociology Department. The decision brought to the forefront apparent long-held personal differnces within the department and showed that, within the ranks of people whose business it is to study and understand social behavior, individuals may be no better at sorting out their differences than an evenly split legislature may be deciding a budget. Gasser had held the chair position for more than 10 years and was, in December 1983 when Fontera announced the decision, in the middle of his fourth three-year term. Fontera, Gasser said, "arbitrarily made a dec~~~m and said '!his is what I want done. In September 1984, Gasser followed Fontera's mandate and stepped down as chair and assumed the position of director for the' Committee for International Education. The reason for the sudden announcement, officially at least, was that Gasser had received a regular contract due to an administrative snafu. Since he was over 65, Gasser should have only been eligible for a temporary contract, under which he could not serve as department chair. Through documents that record the events which led to Gasser's dismissal, including intermemos and official department meeting minutes, it is now known that the issue of age and eligibility was raised by professor Lois Dilatush, who was joined by professors Bernard Segall . and Martha Lee ShwayderHughes. According to the official transcript of a March 1, 1984, Sociology-Anthropology department meeting, in which, not for the first time, the issue of Gasser's role in the department was discussed heatedly, Dilatush "started a greivance procedure based on her desire to have a voice in the planning of the department." Dilatush, the transcript records, "said that her greivance was in two parts; the first part had to do with the appointment being on a temporary basis and the ~nd was the most important part. She said that, as a member of the department, she had certain rights that were being abrogated. She said that she was not involved with whatever agreements had been reached at the upper levels. She wants the department to be run in a way that would allow her to have a say." (sic.) With Gasser as department chair, even with little more than a year left to serve out his term, Dilatush apparently felt so left out of decision malciilg within the department that she took the issue directly to Fontera and made a point of the MSC Handbook rules on age, eligibility, contracts and positions. Up until July 1, 1982, colleges and universities were exempt from following a federal law mandating that employees could not be forced to retire before the age of 70.

MSC policy states that "faculty must retire hot later than the end of the fiscal year in which age six_ty-five (65) is attained," and that the school president could choose to extend employment beyond retirement age "on either a full or part-time basis for additional fiscal-year or academic-year periods," under temporary contract. Gasser turned Age 65 on October 20, 1981. Administrators were well aware, in 1980, that Gasser was approaching the age at which college policy might forbid him from teaching under a regular contract, thus making him ineligible to serve as chairman of his department. An intermemo sent December 5, 1980, from Dr. Phillip Boxer, dean of the School of Liberal Af!s, to Dr. Stanley

implement Fontera's decision while there was a search ongoing for a new president. Shortly after assuming office, Golding, whose term ended in January, received "notices of greivance" and a "Notice of Complaint," from Dilatush, Segall and Shwayder-Hughes, in which they charged that Laughlin had violated Handbook rules by failing to implement Fontera's decision. The three also wanted Gasser's role in the department clarified. In response, Golding issued a written statement in which he found that "the grievance seeking clarification of Dr. Robert-Louis Gasser's faculty status explicitly or impliedly alleges violations or improper applications of sevetal Consortium Handbook policies regarding contract type, employment and profes-

"By what commission or ommission have I merited the disgrace ·and humiliation of becoming the first chairman at Metropolitan State College to be removed during an ongoing term of office.?" -From a letter written by Dr. Gasser to MSC President Grage Golding. Sunderwirth, vice president of Academic Affairs, suggested that Gasser be given a regular contract despite the age requirement. Boxer's meino recommended Gasser highly, on both a personal and professional level, and stressed that "the issue (age) involves only one day, since on July 1, 1982 the federal law would make Dr. Gasser's regular contract a routine matter" by forbidding the college from forcing him to retire until age 70. MSCs fiscal year begins June 30. Sunderwirth and other administrators agreed with Boxer, and Gasser was issued a regular contract in 1982 and 1983. And, on May 20, 1982, acting interim President Curtis E. Wright sent a letter to Gasser (with copies to Sunderwirth and Boxer), congratulating him on being reappointed chair of the SociologyAnthropology Department. "Your term of office is effective Fall Semester, 1982 and will expire Summer Semester, 1985," Wright's letter stated. In September 1982, Wright was teplaced by President Fontera and, toward the end of 1983, Dilatush filed her complaint. · Gasser was summoned to Fontera's . office after the complaint was recieved, and there, in the presence of Boxer and · Sunderwirth, he "mandated," in Gasser's words, that Gasser give up his post as chair in September 1984. As compensation, Gasser received release time from cl~, to work on the international education committee post. In February of this year, Sunderwirth said that Gasser had agreed to Fontera's terms after "discussions all last year," but Gasser disputed that contention. In several letters addressed to MSC President's Laughlin and Golding, who served brief terms after Fontera's unexpected death, Gasser articulated the frustration and anger he had earlier expressed during several department meeting5. Laughlin, who served until June 1 of 1984 when Golding took over, refused to

sional status and retirement. However, it fails to allege facts demonstrating that the grievants have been 'affected' by the purported infractions of these policies . . . The Handbook policies cited by grievants do not endow faculty members within a protected personal interest in the employment status of their department chair. Rather, they were promulgated to define and protect an employee's interest in his/her own employment statttS and retirement options." The three page qecision goes on to say that Laughlin had every right and power as acting president to delay implementation of Fontera's decision. "The policy," Golding wrote, "provides that the President possesses final authority in administrative matters . . . However, nothing in Section V or elswhere in the Consortium Handbook provides that a President is irrevocably bound by his decisions and may not reconsider and decline to implement them. The policy provides only that ·subordinate officers and employees of the institution are bound by the President's decisions." However, Golding's statement concludes that "after having discussed the -matter with the dean and vice president for Academic Affairs, I have concluded that it is in the best interests of the Sociology-Anthropology Department to implement President Fontera's .decision of December 19, 1983. With Dr. Gasser's acquiescence, President Fontera decided that Dr. Gasser would continue as chair of the -department until the commencement of the 1984-85 academic year. I concur in that decision and adopt it as my own." One of Gasser's colleagues was as upset with the course of events as Gasser

himself. Sociology professor Theresita Polzin made numerous written requests to Fontera, who by then was gravely ill with cancer, and to Boxer asking that a conclusive and detailed explanation be

made concerning Gasser's ouster. No answers were forthcoming. In particular, Polzin was angered by a decision being reached without the full faculty, who had unanimously elected ·~ Gasser as Chair, being consulted first. She also wanted to know why "were the complaints not resolved on the lower levels of authority, as prescribed by college policy?" and also how age could be a deciding factor, as she wrote to Boxer, "without indicting yourself, Dr. Sunderwirth, Dr. Fontera, and Dr. ~ Curtis Wright-all of whom were involved in Dr. Gasser's three-year appointment as well as in his regular contracts for two years and summers after he had reached age 65."

In yet another letter to Boxer, Polzin wrote that "after repeated requests, no peason is being given for the removal of our department chairman, logical reasoning arrives at two po~ible co_nclusions:

•

1. There is no reason. The removal was arbitrary and without cause (a procedure c:ommon in autocratic systems). 2 . The reason is so base, disgraceful, inhuman, and shameful that .those who know it are too embarrassed to utter it in words." Indeed, none of the prir:icipal or minor characters contacted in the last week were willing to speak extensively on the issue. According to Boxer and Sunderwirth, the decision was reached b¥ the President and that was the end of the issue. "I don't want to compound any rumors by any statements," Boxer said in refusing to answer. questions about the incidents. 'Tm trying to work toward the future. Any 'answer would be construed in the wrong way." . Asked what he felt about college policy apparently being circumvented with complaints made directly to the president of the institution, Boxer replied that "I wasn't going to make a value judgement." 'Tm a steward for all my (faculty) members," Boxer said. And, he continued, "I'm working with good people and good people can have differences and I hope they can be resolved. "You think-that because we (Boxer and Sunderwirth) have interests of faculty harmony we have some other motives," he said. Pursuing the story, Boxer said, was "compounding the situation" and "going beyond reality." . . Sunderwirth was as adamant in keeping silent on the issue. "I've already told you (in Februrary) everything I'm going to say about the case," Sunderwirth said. "The decision was reached by President Fontera and was based on his reading of the Handbook that pointed to the fact that Dr. Gasser was in fact given · the appointment irregularly. There was. no discussion of competence or incompetence." Pressed further Sunderwirth said "I don't want to hurt Dr. Gasser anymore, do you? I don't see that it would be to anyone's advantage. Do y_ou want Dr.

Internal Qo;mplaint------Outcome Gasser blasted all over the paper?" Asked about the decision creating a possible precedent which might affect other individuals, Sunderwirth replied: "Well, we haven't had any more bloopers like the one with Dr. Gasser and we don't plan on having any more." . Other professors in the SociologyI Anthropology Department also had little to say. Dilatush, who started the proceeding.5 against Gasser, said that Boxer should be the one to comment because he is acting head of the department. "Actually, I think there would be no point in making any comments on that; I think that's something that happened in the past and if that's what you're in the proces.s of digging up that's fine," Dilatush said. And, she continued, "there are too many thin~ we're doing now that are moving the department forward to spend time on that; so thank you for your call,'' she ended, hanging up the telephone. Segall, who put his name to the com~ plaint with Dilatush and ShwayderHughes, also said Boxer would be the one to contact for comments. Segall said he made the complaint for "personal reasons" and that "everything has been settled as far as we're concerned." Shwayder-Hughes could not be reached Two other professors, Jiri Vondracek· and Bernard Rosen, said they felt Gasser should have been allowed to finish out the remainder of his term as chair. But both Rosen and Vondracek said they were powerles.5 to do anything

This was a record year for the election. Previous years have averaged around 225 voter turnout. This is .a positive sign that the students are taking more pride in their school and their student representatives. Next year, my target is over 1000. I would like to see each student participate in the election. I would like to thank each of the clubs who participated in running the election. Without them, it would be very challenging if not impossible for the election commission to do it all. Douglas M. Mewis Chairman ' Election Commission

·Holocaust Re.m embered. Monday, April 15, I went to the Holocaust Commemoration in the St. Francis Interfaith Center. It was quite an emotional experience. Unfortunately it was disappointing to see ·so few people in attendance. Did th~ weather make them forget to come or was it total ignorance to what all the posted notices on campus exclaimed by way of Holocaust Commemoration? As everyone must know-six million humans were brutally murdered by the Nazis during W.W.II just because they were Jewish. This mass destruction was the ultimate form of discrimination. A few people, however, have the indecency to deny that the Holocaust ever happened. Have they never seen pictures? The survivors are dying off now. Who will believe the Holocaust ever happened when the eyewitnesses are gone if people today refuse to believe the facts. The Key speaker at the Commemoration was Elizabeth Jaranyi (80746 as is tatooed on her left forearm). She was the only one of seven sisters to survive. Five of her sisters were never seen again because they chose to remain with· their children when the Nazis took them away. (Children, the handicapped and the old were all thought of as worthl~-they were disposed of as quickly as possible.) The other sister stayed with Elizabeth and survived the notorious deathcamp of Auschwitz. She unfortunately did not survive the march back to Germany when Auschwitz was evacuated. She was shot by a soldier when she could walk no longer. She told Elizabeth to continue on and tell 'the story.' Elizabeth marched on feeling guilty then and feeling guilty for the next 40 years for being the only one to survive from her beloved family. And so Elizabeth, along with the few number of other Holocaust survivors~ is telling her story. They all must keep reminding us of what happened in W.W.II Europe to their people ... to the human race. As long as these people are alive, we who are younger must listen, believe and remember what they have to say because a Holocaust must never happen again. Elizabeth, heed your sister's words, continue telling your story and never feel guilty again. Diana Swansen

Time for the Colorado State Joint Budget Committee to receive a message that their employers can find more competent people to serve us on the Joint Budget Committee and persons that know whose money is whose. That we like for the open enrollment policy at Metropolitan State College to remain, as is, to ~ase the Joint Budget Committee's heavy handed tactics. Requireing the Metropolitan State College's Board of Trustees to sign a document calling for the end of the open enrollment policy just so that the Joint Budget Committee not threaten to eliminate Metro's School of Education was a h~avy handed tactic. And when threats like that real, already done, time has arrived for us to do something to counteract that. Last week the Human Services Department at Metropolitan State College eliminated by the Colorado State Joint Budget Committee. That's just the ' point, services to to the humans, the people of Colorado are deemed not worthy of consideration as people by the Joint Budget Committee any longer. People are no longer seen as being. important by some of the so called VIPs in the Colorado State Legislature; particularly the Joint Budget Committee. Westerners are known for an expression that says it all-saying "Whoa!" and we as students and citizens of the State of Colorado qualify to say "Whoa!" to the Joint Budget Committee with gusto being both humans and Westerners. No intelligence is required to know that an open enrollment policy at Metropolitan State College makes money, just common sense, and since the Joint Budget Committee has obviously lost their common sense, time to replace them with people, humans, that do have common sense. Restore the Joint Budget Committee to sanity, and inform them that they are not God. That public office is already filled and reserved by someone with better ... qualifications than they have demonstrated. With some Common Sense, Susan Kay Totten

Reader Lambastes Editor's Response to Vet Editor: I hesitate to address this letter to the "Editor." It honors Mr. Vaughan with a ' title and respect I do not feel he deserves. I read witn growing disbelief and anger Mr. Vaughan's reply to John Ulbinslcy's letter. Vaughan writes, "Mr. Ulbinsky, what the hell gives you the right to take issue with the appropriateness of these two stories?" I, in turn, ask, "Mr. Vaughan, what the hell gives you the right to make a personal attack on a reader who has an opposing point of view?" . There are two issues here; first, the actual appropriateness of Mike Strother's article, and then Vaughan's reply to Mr. Ulbinsky. Mr. Ulbinslcy is absolutely right when he says, "no one went back for a second tour ... without having some idea why he was there." Mike Strother's story is exactly that-Mike Strother's own, personal story, one of literally thousands. His is the classic tale of a young man who left home to fight in a war and lost his . innocence. My grandfather said exactly the same thing talking about W.W.I. Different continent, different experiences, but same emotions and exactly the same trouble reconciling what had happened and what he had done. All of us who went through the Wl;\r have our own experiences and memories. If the story by Strother is his method of therapy, fine; but it does not belong in a newspaper as an "article," nor should it have been printed without another point of view. Specifically, talk to some of the Amerindians or Hispanic Americans who served. Strothe! at least is in college. He can not be coping that unsuccessfully. Most of the " non-whites" (which reads, "no~ acceptables" to middle-class TV America) I have met since the war talk not of college but of finding a job or "drying out." · · Next, Mr. Vaughan's reply to John Ulbinsky: Mr. Ulbiflsky wrote an opposing point of view. I fail to understand why Vaughan felt compelled to attack Mr. Ulbinslcy personally. Was Strother's story appropriate? I though not, and apparently neither did Mr. Ulbinslcy. Vaughan states there ca~ be only one excuse

Wanted: Objective Editor Who Cari Spell Pompous Editor: Mr. Vaughan I ask you: What the hell gives you the right to call yourself an editor? Read the advertisement which outlines the job responsibilities of your replacement: "The editor is responsible for the editorial content of the newspaper. He/she manages the editorial staff, assigns stories, edits copy, and assists with the physical layout of the paper." It is most unfortunate that ~o one told you of these duties before you began your pompous reign as staff reactionary. Every issue of The Metropolitan features at least one offensive item, several typographical errors and, more often than not, a self-righteous editorial defense of some past infringement of the most basic rules of journalism which has been pointed out by an irate ex-reader. Editing should be done objectively.o_ if you are so heavily emotionally invested in being right, you should edit an even smaller newspaper which is supposed to cater to the whims of the tiny subsection of the population which shares your beliefs. I am assuming you will print this, as it has been at least as "therapeutic" for me to write this as the Vietnam story was for Mike Strother. Remember, Kevin, I didn't make this stuff up; I'm just reporting the news as I see it. Sincerely, JoaniJohnson Metro student P.S. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate your input, but I think you are somewhat misguided in your opinions.

Writer Defends Editorial Editor: A member of the staff of The Metropolitari suggessted that I express my opinion on the editorial page concerning the recent Vietnam coverage. I had no idea that my letter would result in a personal attack from the editor himself, Kevin Vaughan. The last time I looked, my right to free expression was guaranteed .by the U.S. Constitution. Mr. Vaughan's reaction is precisely why I don't share combat experiences with non-participants. My record is not to be subjected to the judgement and belittlement of the non-forgiving, the non-caring, or those who would use those experiences for their own purposes. All of us who went did the best we could, considering the situations in whic;h we were thn~st. That includes infantrymen, nurses, Saigon warriors, even sissy Army pilots. Tell me Doctor Vaughan. do you think m)· misguided opinions are a result of my Vietnam experiencesr · At least Kevin maintained his wrv sense of humor when he called mv letter a .. blast" of his coverage. You should be there when the Aviators re~lly start blasting. John Ulbinsky-Aerospace

for Mr. Ulbinskys letter-he was a pilot and therefore missed the "real war". That statement in itself demonstrates that all the blood and guts stories in the world do not achieve their purpose. The war was not isolated to one area or to a specific unit ~ Whether on the ground, in the air or on the sea, the war was pervasive. In trying to attack Mr. Ulbinsky, Vaughan proved his point better than Mr. Ulbinslcy could himself. War stories are best related by those who can convey more than a Mack Bolan Tale. The crowning statement was Vaughan's P.S.: " ... but I think you are somewhat misguided in your opinion." Am I to imply from this that Stother's story was fact? I think I can answer my own question. What gives Vaughan the right to take issue with an opposing point of view? Ah, there is the answer-Mike Strother is a good friend of the editor, and I am willing to bet Va1:1ghan never heard of John Ulbinsky. That, more than anything else, is the basis for Vaughan's interpretation of the First Amendment. Raymond M. Anderson

, Critic Has Poetic License To the Editor: Once again I must voice my outrage about the piss-poor journalism of The Metropolitan . In my last week's letter to the editor you managed to make three mistakes: 1) "It makes me sick" not "It make me sick" 2) " Ad hominum fallacies" (fallacy of personal attack) not "add fallacies" 3) The name is Gabrisch not Gabish. Is this some subtle credibility blower or is The Metropolitan staff really ignorant? In conclusion, here is a poem I am submitting along with my letter. Kevin Vaughan is full of jokes. The paper he edits is quite the hoax. Rhyme and rhythm I have neither But that's OK, cause Kevin can't edit either. Gerald Gabrisch

Public Forum Will Be Held

Child Care Offered For Finals Week

A public forum will be held on Thursday, April 25, at noon in the Auraria Student Center, Room 230 C & D to answer questions and receive input on proposed changes in Auraria parking operations. The Auraria Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee will consider changes to become effective during the 1985-86 academic year. Enrollment shortfalls at all three Auraria institutions and the popularity of free parking at Mile High Stadium have had a significant impact in parking revenues. These shortfalls and higher costs in part resulting from mandatory classified staff salary increases will make increases in parking rates necessary. Also proposed is a 25° roundtrip fare for the trolley ride to and from free parking at Mile High Stadium. The proposed Parking and Transportation budget is 6 percent below the current 84-85 budget. Two staff positions have been eliminated, and reductiqns have been made in other budget areas. Revenues for 1984-85 are expected to be 17 percent belQw estimates. Presented rate changes include: increase of 25 cents per day in daily fee lots, except in Lot.T; increase in hourly visitor rates in Lots G & Q to $1.00 per hour; increase of $3 month in all monthly lots.

The Auraria Child Care Center is running a pilot program to help students who are in need of child care during the weeks of final exams. The service will be available the weeks of May 6 to 10 and 13 to 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. State regulations require the center to limit its attendance to 20 children at a time. The center will accept toilel: trained children between the ages of two and a half and eight, provided their parents remain on campus and provide an accurate account of their whereabouts. The fee is 50 cents per hour per child, and children can stay at the center for a total of four hours. The service will be available in room 254 of the Student Center, and a variety of activities are planned to keep the children busy while their parents take their final exams. For more information, call 556-3188.

Beneath the watchful eyes of Denver's newly installed mounted police force, hundreds of peaceful demonstrators held hands and encircled the Federal Building Saturday in protest of U.S. intervention in Central America. Despite the threat of rain, the p~ testers assembled at the steps of the State Capitol and marched down the 16th St. Mall to Stout Street, then turned east to the Federal Building, which they encircled five times-from beginning to end. They chanted slogans and !1.Pplauded loudly as passing motorists signalled their approval with their horns. As part of a nationwide campaign called "The Pledge Of Resistance," the march drew spectators and participants to Denver from all walks of life. Many of Colorado's college students 路attended. "It's an incredible turn-out," said Jas Smitl;i, a political science major at UCD. Smith was among the first hundred or so that arrived early, eyeing a rain storm that was visible in the mountains west of Denver. Glen Smith, 64, a W .W. II Air-Corps vet from Rye, Colo. participated in the march. His long, greying hair was bound together in a pony-tail and tucked under his denim cap as he proudly posed with his protest sign by the monument honoring America's Civil War veterans. Sister Juliana, one of a group of five from St. Mary's Convent in Littleton was also there. She marched in concern for her fellow sisters now serving in Lima, Peru. "We have a peace and justice group at St. Mary's," she said, "and I belong to that. The congregation supports us, too." Connie Newton, 49, a housewife from Golden, marched with her husband Len. "We're here because we thought it was time people like us got openly involved," she said. They carried a sign that pro-

A pleasant day; a claimed "Our Brothers And Sisters , There". Other protest signs read: "Cr Silos-Not 路Missile Silos";"Stop l Intervention in Central America"; "Pe Is Possible"; and "The People United \i Never Be Defeated." The marchers were orderly and di cheers from the crowds of shoppers 1 workers who interrupted their activi to watch the human chain. It was so 11 that the beginning and the end could be seen at the same time. Downtown sounded like New Yt: Eve as cars honked and people cheer

"1-2-3-4, we don't want your Contra war," some chanted. In broken harmony, the chants pasred through the marchers like a wave, offering, "Peace Now" and "Ronald Reagan-he's no good. Send him back to Hollywood." Four mounted police escorted the marchers to the Federal Building. Denver Police told The Metropolitan that no additional officers, other than normal traffic control, had been assigned to the area. The weather also cooperated in Denver and peace prevailed as -the

demostration lasted most of the day in the courtyard of the Federal Building. The "Pledge of Resistance" march was part of a national campaign effort based on a simple pledge: to nonviolently resist the escalation of U.S. involvement in Central America. _ Signers of the Pledge here in Denver include: U.S. Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, State Senators Regis Groff and Polly Baca, Bishop George Evans, former State Legislator Richard Castro, as well as over 2,000 others in the Rocky Mountain Region and 70,000 throughout the country. 0

Bay'Underplays Racism's T.oll. ~UN~.

tAcku.;

by Meredith Ray Special to The M etropoUtan

Alamo Bay is billed as a story impired by true events, namely the influx of Vietnamese immigrants into Texas coastal towns, and the resulting conflicts in the fishing industry. The film offers amazing imight into these events. If you watch and listen carefully, you will learn that the Ku Klux Klan is a nasty bunch of fellows. If you already knew that, Alamo Bay is a waste of time. The film focuses on three characters: Dinh, a newly arrived Vietnamese immigrant; and Glory, Shang's occasional lover, who helps run her father's fishing business. Dinh (Ho Nguyen) finds a job with Glory and then sets his sights on owning his own business. · Shang (Ed Harris), who resents the Vietnamese fishing in American waters, wants Glory to end her relationship with Dinh. Glory (Amy Madigan) is stuck in the middle. She .knows Shang is often wrong, yet she finds herself attracted to him for some reason. This synopsis provides the basic conflict necessary for a good story. But there's one major problem: Shang is an ass. Shang's personality and actions makes the story one-sided, belittles

Three-way conflict in "Alamo Bay" Glory's character and irritates the audience. If someone would have grabbed a rifle and done away with Shang, we could have gone on with the story, but we are stuck with him throughout the film. He hits his wife (when he's not cheating on her), yells at his kids, kicks moving cars, and threatens congregations during church services. At one point, Shang tells Glory not to

help the Vietnamese because he doesn't want to see her get hurt. He says he still cares about her, but neither Glory nor the audience believes him. Shang obviously cares about no one but himself, Because Shang is such a jerk, the audience doesn't care when he can't catch enough fish to make a living. Nor do they care when his boat is repossesred. As several characters in the film tell him, he deserves it. If Shang had started out as a nice guy who went too far when threatened, we may have felt some empathy for him. · Instead he's seen as a red-neck, causing problems for people who want only to make a living. As a result, viewers don't care about his side of the issue. In contrast with Shang, Glory has a more balanced personality, a character with real wea.knesses and strengths. She realizes the Vietnamese workers are talc-

ing jobs from the Texans, and sometimes it annoys her. But her annoyance doesn't stem from bigotry, and she tries to fight the prejudice around her. · Glory is full of the contradictions that exist in ~ people: She tells her fath~ (well-played by Donald Moffat) that he's a mean old man, then she says she lo'1t him. She hates everything that Shang is, yet she is attracted to him. At one point Glory tells Dinh that Shang has been on her mind since s~e was 16. "I wasted a lot of time, 'cuz he's nobody. But he's still on my mind," she says. Glory's feelin~, though, are confusing because of Shang's character. Even though Glory is a likeable character, ifs hard to understand her feelin~ fo~ Shang. The basis for their relationship is never shown clearly enough to convince us that she could possibly be attracted to him. As a result, their relationship detracts from Glory's otherwise realistic, imightful characterization. The insane bigotry which permeates the town, and eventually brin~ the Ku Klux Klan to Alamo Bay, also permeates the film, creating too much tension with little release. · There are townspeople who just go on with their lives, helping the immigrants whenever they can. Some people even' make a special effort to protect the rights of the Vietnamese fishermen. But aside from Glory and her father, the good guys seem to be tokens planted in an attempt to show that the town is not entirely "red-neck." ,· Somewhere in this film lies the basis for a hell of a story, but it should begin with real people. And it should delve into the emotions and viewpoi.nts involved in all sides of the issue. Instead it merely says, "See?. Racism is bad." G

Sade Adu Debuts With Hit Album

-··

....,_

by Tom Smith Reporter, The Metropolitan

America, the land of opportunity- if at first you don't succeed, try~ try again. >-

Sade Adu first came to America to show a line of menswear she had designed. America was not impressed. The second time she sent something to America, it was her musical talent. This time America was impressed. Sade Adu, and her band Sade (pro, nounced Shar-Day) released their debut album "Diamond Life" in

America last month. Unlike her menswear, her music has been wellreceived. With the sultry, seductive vocals of Adu and the bluesy II}Usical style of the band, this new pop-jazz band produces a sound that is easy to listen to yet interesting. The album, with its nine tracks of love songs, has a very refined sound. Lyrics for eight of the nine tracks on the album were written by Adu. She and Stuart Matthewman, who plays sax and guitar, composed the m,usic for those eight tracks. The ninth song is a rework of a Timmy Thomas song. Sax work by Matthewman all through the album is excellent, even if solo playing time is held to a minimum. Matthewman opens the song "Frankie's ·First Affair" with a sweet sax sound; but then blends in with the rest of the band to highlight Adu. His talent is again displayed on "Sally" but only for a few bars. Other members of the band have similar brief moments of solo work. Andrew Hale shows his talent in the middle of "Hang on to Your Love," with some nice piano work. Bassist Paut Denman never really

stands out anywhere on the album. He 'does have a very tight sound with drummer and percussionist Dave Early, who is not a regular m~mber of the band. The first song to make it big for the band was "Hang on to Your Love," which was released in Europe and rocketed to the top of the charts there. Two other songs, "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love is King," are getting lots of air play here in America. Lead singer Adu is the focal point of the band. Her vocals are pleasant to listen to. She can move you with her voice. It is unfortunate that the band is not allowed to solo a little more on the album. This is not to take an}dhing away from Adu, she is very talented, but a better balance could have been made to allow the talents of the other members of the band to be displayed. If you are quick you can catch their talented musical work. The closing track "Why Can't We Live Together" is the o_nly song not written and composed by the band. Timmy Tomas allows Sade to remake the song, and they do a moving job in doing so. One song that will soon be getting air play is "Cherry Pie." Ifs an up-beat

Singer Sade Adu love song with great percussion work, and is one of the finer cuts on the album. If you are looking for an album with a nice-sounding lead vocalist, songs about love and just a little ~olo work by the other band members, this is the album for you. D

Bar Circuit 'suits 'Beat FaTmers'

"Good friends don't let Qood friends smoke cigarettes!'

by Tom Smith Reporter, The Metropolitan

Some bands are destined for greatn~: big concerts, numerous albums and a large following. Others never make it out of the bar circuit. They continue performing in small clubs, never making an album, and only having a cult following. The Beat Farmers should stay in the latter group. The Beat Farmers, who originated out of San Diego, have put out an album, entitled "Tales of the New West." Unfortunately the "tales" recounted in the album are not worth listening to more than once. The Beat Farmers' first album would be enjoyable to hear- as long as the album was free; to pay for the album would be a waste of money" The band is capable at times of producing a good country sound. For example the cut "Showbiz" has a good country intro, and ending. But in the middle of the song they try and fail to produce the popular rock-abilly sound. None of the band members seem to have any individual talent and the bland vocals bear that out. But bad vocals and average talent are

what make a gOod bar band and the Beat Farmers played to full houses at the smaller local dive-bars in the San Diego area. Over time they gathered a small following.

As the group of faithful followers grew the band played larger dive-bars. And dive-bars are where they should stay . The recent album may only hurt their chances of increasing their following. 0 I

-MSC Players up for Honors . Four members of the MSC men's baseball team have been nominated for the NAIA All District seven team by Head Coach Bill Helman, who feels .jft-st baseman Ronn Wells has the best chance of the four. Well, who is nominated for relief pitching and first base, has a personal batting average of .393. He has three home runs and 31 RBI's. His pitching §tatistics read, after 21 innings pitched, 18 strike outs, four saves an~ a won-loss record of 1-1. "I want the whole team to go to district playoffs," Wells said, but he also mentioned that he wouldn't mind being drafted by a big-league team. :.. Helman predicts Wells has the best chance of making the team because of his two-category nominations. "Wells' 1'1tching stats are great. If they ignore those stats they're goofy," Helman said. The other three nominees are Todd Vaughn, catcher and designated hitter,

SPORTS MSC Women's Softball Gets Four Wins, Gives Away Two this week in practice.

The MSC women's softball team won four games and lost two last week, bringing its overall record to 23-10, a figure Head Coach Jim Romero wanted to avoid. "I didn't want to hit that double figure (in the lost column) but we did," Romero said. The Roadrunners started their week with two victories against Colorado State University, 4-2, and 7-2. The momentum continued Friday, when they beat Fort Lewis College at home, 3-1 and 6-0, but faded Saturday when they lost the second double-header against Ft. Lewis, 2-0, 3 -2 . These were the first two back-to-back losses for the team all season. Romero attributed the loss to the team's batting. "Some of the players have gotten into a slump," Romero said. He said they will concentrate more on bunting and batting

Llz Miret pitched all four games Friday and Saturday, mostly because of her experience on the mound, Romero said. "You have to go with the best when you want to win," Romero said. "Llz has a little bit more experience, cont;rol and confidence." Romero said the losses won't set him back. "We've still got a winning .seaSon," he said. "We got a little bit low, but we'll pick ourselves up." The Roadrunners scored on a lot of doubles and triples on Friday, but got only one hit in the first game on Saturday. It came from Kristy Heckman.

Romero said the Roadrunners are a good, solid team. "We were a little flat," he said, "but we will just have to fix the flat tire." D

High blood pressure: It's known as the silent killer. It effects thousands of people' every year and is a direct result of stress. An excellent opportunity for students to have their blood pressure checked, just "1>rior to the high stress of finals week, is at the Third Annual Wellness and Fitness Fair.

But blood pressure is just one of the many tests offered free to students at the fair, which is to be held in the PER gym ,_Thursday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 6p.m. The fair is an exce1lent chance to test muscle strength and endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, body composition, visual acuity, hematocrit (the •level of healthy blood cells in one's system), height and weight, dental health, and to view films and demonstrations. The fair, which has been in preparation for four months, was put together by ·the MSC Physical Education Department in conjunction with Campus Recreation and the MSC Student Health Clipic. These three organizations have worked together to bring an outstanding list of profes.sionals in the area of health ... and fitness to ttie fair. There will be displays from the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, American Lung Association, Dairy Council, Heart Association and many mo re. Campus organizations participating in the fair include Disabled Student Services, MSC Counseling Center, and the Nursing Club. In addition Holistic Health students have planned special exhibits and demonstrations. •

Professor Cheryl Norton has her Exercise Physiology class working at the fair as well. These students will be assisting by taking information for people interested in having their verticle jump, sit up and ventilation measurements -: taken. The fair is a perfect time to supplement the nationwide fitness craze. But it also offers a lot to those who aren't in shape with much information on overall health. '\

Your feet hurt. Your legs hurt. Even your teeth hurt. But your friends thought you looked terrific. And with them urging you on, your first 10 kilometer race didn't finish you. You finished it. Now that you have something to celebrate, make sure your support team has the beer it deserves. Tonight, let it be LOwenbrau.

The £air's sponsors hope to attract more than 500 people d~ng the day.

The three organizations would like to see students making a "fit stop" at this year's fair to test how fit they are-or get an .., idea of how fit they can become. 0
