Fame on campus. Dr. Amos makes a housecall.

Bob Hull, an assistant coach at Illinois University for the past seven years, has been selected as the new head basketball coach at Metropolitan State College.

The announcement came at a press conference Friday that ended a two week screening of 36 applicants.

When asked what attracted him to Metro, Hull said, "The city of Denver attracted me. I had a lot of questions when I came here ... those questions were soon put aside when I met (MSC President) Paul Magelli. Dr. Magelli is one of the most exciting and enthusiastic individuals I've ever met."

Ray Martin, an assistant coach at North Carolina State, the other finalist for the job reacted professionally to getting beat out for the job. He said Hull was a class act and wished him the best.

The most significant influence in .selecting a new coach was Magelli's plans of competing on a Division I level in five years. Although many have doubts about those plans, Hull didn't.

"There's no doubt in my mind that if he (Magelli) says we're going Division I in five years, we're going Division I in five years," Hull said.

A philosophy that Hull has adopted is one he got from Lou Henson while at Illinois University.

"In seven years I have seen Lou Henson use all different styles," Hull said.

'Tm a fundamental coach. I want to put our athletes in a situation of playing the style of ball best suited for their talents. On offense we will hit the boards and screen inside. On defense I believe in a good sound man-to-man defense. If they can play a good manto-man, they can play any other defense."

The team started practice Tuesday and Hull is faced with making a smooth transition in a very short period of time.

He said he will just try and learn his players and stress the same things he did at Illinois.

"We will definately have to 路 get involved with the student body," he said. "We have to develop a comradery."

As far as recruiting he thinks building a base in Colorado is of the utmost importance .

"In recruiting it is important to take your home state. Denver is a major metropolitan area and we will recruit here in Colorado to convince the local players to stay at home and go to Metro State," Hull said.

The MSC basketball team will have tryouts Friday in the Auraria gym. The team, which started practice Tuesday, will begin the session at 4:30 p.m., but wants interested students to be there at 4p.m. D . .

Deillonstration Focuses on Racial Segregation Mark LePedus Reporter

Ntatha Mbatha, a member of the black resistance group in South Africa known as the African National Congress, called apartheid a "dehumanizing and demeaning" policy, during the South African Teach-In Oct. 11.

One of 14 speakers, she denounced her country's racist policies and called for opposition to its apartheid system.

After the speech, Mbatha spoke to a group of students and supporters outside the Auraria Library, who were protesting apartheid and the recent state of emergency imposed in South Africa. More than 750 blacks have been killed in that country this year.

The South Africa Teach-In was sponsored by the Auraria Coalition Against Apartheid.

Stevious Khoza, a leader of the South African Freedom Movement, which aids

African refugees, also spoke against apartheid.

Mbatha and Khoza agreed that a host of misunderstandings surround the apartheid issue.

"A lot of people don't understand apartheid in concrete terms," Mbatha said.

Apartheid is the legal system of racial segregation by which South Africa's 5 million whites rule 24 million blacks, she said.

For Africans, the central issue of apartheid is land distribution. The "white areas" comprise 87 percent of the country, and the black majority occupies only 13 percent.

In addition, blacks need permission from the government to work in "white areas." Blacks are not allowed to vote; -their education is inferior; and they must use segregated toilets, trains and buses.

"The main issue of apartheid is the denial of blacks of their freedom," Mbatha said.

ON CAMPUS October Days Leaves MSC Wanting More Susan Brent Reporter

October Days, a three-day program designed to attract students to MSC began last Thursday with a dismal showing from potential students.

Twenty high-school students attended a presentation on MSC's School of Letters, Arts and Sciences by Dr. Larry Johnson, the school's director. The School of Technological and Professional Studies will present a pro-

gram Oct. 17, and the School of Business' presentation will be Oct. 24.

More than 5,000 local high schoolers were invited to attend one or more of the hour-long presentations, which also explain MSC admission policies, academic testing and advising.

Michael Miera of the Office of Admissions and Records organized the event. Despite the first day's low turnout, Miera said he felt the event was worthwhile because potential studentsgotalotofpersonalizedattention.

"The jury's still out on the next two days," he said.

Last year, Miera said, October Days drew 120 students. This year only 35 high-school students responded to more than 5,000 invitations.

A similar event, Spring Breakaway, has been a more popular event, he said.

After admmistrators spoke to the students Thursday, volunteers escorted the high-school guests through departments they were interested in. An informal campus tour was offered in

the afternoon.

A poll of the sparse group showed three reasons for wanting to attend Metro. First was its close proximity to downtown Denver; second was the advantage of attending an in-state college. The third reason was Metro's good reputation. Jonie McLaughlin, 17, from Brighton High School, said, "I was told by a friend what a great school Metro is."

In T rouble Call, Where?

Jeremiah Lyon Reporter

An MSC student lugs her backpack down an empty hall toward night class, slips, and in her fall, smashes her head against a locker corner.

Stunned, she picks herself up and touches her forehead. She feels a deep gash and, pulling her hand away, she sees blood staining her fingers.

Blood trickles down her cheek as she staggers to a nearby pay phone.

Panicking, she fumbles for two dimes and as her quivering fingers deposit the money, she sees a bright orange plaque with the word EMERGENCY ~d the number 629-3271 etched on it.

She dials the number as blackness crowds her vision.

A machine answers with a recorded message, "The prefix 629 you have called has been changed. Please dial 556 and the same last four digits."

The student hangs up, and the dimes she deposited clatter to the change slot. Blood covers the right side of her face and her forehead throbs in pain.

The student drops her backpack and struggles to retrieve her dimes, her hands still shaking.

Fear and panic sap her strength. She clutches the phone receiver as dizziness overwhelmes her.

She collapses. The receiver is ripped from her grasp ans:l swings at the end of its cord, the dial tone droning quietly.

This didn't happen-but it could, the emergency number on the bright orange plaques stuck to pay phone boothes on campus are wrong.

"It's not our responsibility," said Dave Rivera, a supervisor in Auraria Public Safety. The plaques are "ii voluntary thing."

Auraria Public Safety put up the plaques, said Rivera, but when the prefix for Auraria changed from 629 to 556 last spring, Auraria Public Safety didn't bother to change the emergency number written on the bright plaques.

"We haven't gotten around to it," Rivera said.

He said bright orange stickers with the correct number on them were stuck over the original plaques, but students pulled them off.

Some plaques did show signs that stickqrs were once stuck over them, but many did not.

The correct number for Public Safety is 556-3271. Auraria Public Safety is open 24 hours a day, seven days a we~. o

After two years of extensive study and debate, Auraria dumped its primary plan to solve the campus parking problems-the proposed monorail that would link Denver's sports complex with the Student Center-leaving venders and financers still interested in pursuing the plan.

Negotiations and planning had cost Auraria over $136,000, when on Sept.

9, the board decided to drop the project.

By Auraria's standards, that's enough money to run two trolleys or fund Auraria Public Safety for a year.

From the plan's conception, Auraria officials had insisted that the monorail was a campus oriented project aimed primarily at solving the impending parking problem caused by decreased parking spaces on campus.

Special Projects Coordinator JoAnn Saker said last March that the campus couldn't wait any longer because "it's time to get down to business.

"If someone dropped $2 million on the table and said 'I want to expand the system to downtown', I'd have to think about it because of the time it would take to get the right of way approvals."

But, on August 30, Auraria told the city the system had to be extended to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in order to supply enough nonstudent riders to pay off the loans used to build the Automated Guideway Transit system.

"The additional downtown ridership expected from a connection to the DCPA is essential to the economics of the project," Lawerence Hamilton, chairman of the AGT committee said.

But campus officials halted their efforts when the city of Denver proposed a two-phased system in place of the DCPA terminus.

Phase one would have enabled Auraria to link the campus with the parking spaces at Mile High Stadium immediately.

Phase two would address where the system would cross Speer Boulevard after the city had more time to determine the best location for a downtown terminus.

In fact, most of the elements of phase one had been negotiated when Auraria dropped the plan. The two sides had agreed on the terminus site and parking spaces to be used at the sports complex.

Mayor Pena's Press Secretary, Lauren Casteel, said the city couldn't make a commitment to cross Speer Boulevard without more time to study all of the impacts.

Initially, Auraria and city officials agreed on a terminus location near the 16th Street Mall on a parking lot owned by the Federal Reserve Bank. But the bank is planning an expansion and didn't want to forfeit the land.

The two groups had studied the possibility of locating the terminus near the DCPA, but the city felt that location would put the turn-around loop of the monorail track so close to Speer Boulevard that its historical integrity would be damaged.

Casteel also voiced concern over the impact the route would have on the Lawerence Street Condominiums, because the elevation and space required would put the AGT train within a few feet of tenant's windows.

Yniversal Mobility, the vendor chosen by Auraria to build and install the monorail, could not be reached for comment.

Hamilton said the project was dropped because a self-imposed deadline of Sept. 1 could not be met without the city's approval of the DCPA terminus.

Campus officials had set a deadline of Sept. 1 so that the AGT financing package could be completed before proposed changes in Federal tax laws removed the tax-exempt status of the municipal improvement bonds that Auraria was depending on to finance the project.

According to Sam Katz of Public Financial Management in Philadelphia, the company that prepared the financial package, the proposed changes would make it much more expensive for Auraria to finance the project as well as remove the incentive to investors to put up the money.

"The reduction of those tax benefits would have reduced the level of equity that the investor could have put into

the project," Katz said. "If there is less cash invested, that means there is going to be more borrowing, and more borrowing means more expense for Auraria."

Katz said even if the proposed tax changes are enacted, a financial package could be put together, and his company would still be interested in arranging the finances for a monorail project in Denver.

Although the city didn't meet Auraria's request for a location where the monorail could <'ross Speer Boulevard in time to beat the campus deadline, Pena'had responded quickly in the past.

In August, Auraria forced the city into prompt negotiations for the spaces at Mile High by threatening to drop the project if terms regarding the division of parking revenue and space allocation between the city and the campus weren't agreed upon by Sept. l.

Casteel said Pena was disappointed at Auraria's decision to drop the monorail.

"He has supported this from the very beginning and he certainly hasn't given up," Casteel said. "It's not a matter of 'hell no, we won't go,' it's just that we happened to 路disagree on this one particular point, but we're still looking for an opportunity for discussion."

Also surprised by the move was the general manager of the Denver-based Otis Elevator-the finalist that competed against Universal as vendor for the project.

"I was a little surprised that they dropped the whole thing," Dick Donlon said. "I thought ~naybe they'd go ahead with the link from Mile High to the Student Center.

"My perception was they had a pretty good level of agreement with the city as far as the Mile High end of it was concerned."

Donlon said he planned on contacting Soker about future plans regarding the monorail.

"As to whether or not we'd be interested in 路doing it again, we're always interested in selling equipment," Donlon said. "If it is a real prospect, we would be interested but I don't want to chase rainbows." o

ON CAMPUS StudentSill8ShesWindo'1V Cuffed Over 10 Bits As if the Auraria Parking Office hasn't been catching enough grief latelyOn Oct. 9, an Auraria parking attendant witnessed a student punching the window of the parking hut in Auraria Lot K, the lot between Seventh and Eighth streets, and West Colfax Avenue and Curtis Street.

Boy, was this guy mad. According to Auraria Public Safety, a Metro student, James R. Zeiger, 26, said he was

angry over a parking violation.

The report from the parking office was that Zeiger had received a ticket for non-payment and went up to the hut to discuss the situation. When he found no one there, his frustration cut loose.

Taking the matter into his own hands (or feet), he kicked in the window of the parking hut. Bet that made him feel much better.

Zeiger was held at the scene by the

parking attendant, and the Denver Police soon arrived and charged him with criminal mischief.

An angry Zeiger told The Metropolitan that he couldn't buy a daily permit because no attendant was on duty at the lot and he didn't have five quarters for the permit-dispensing machine.

"This really bums me up," Zeiger said. "When I have to get to class in five minutes, I don't have time to go to 7 -Eleven to get five quarters (the amount needed for a daily permit in Lot K) .

'Tm going to fight this," he said of the criminal-mischief charge. "I think they're cheating students out of money."

Zeiger also was enraged and embarrassed when two Auraria Public Safety officers handcuffed him in front of other students. "During the time they were arresting me, five cars stopped and asked (the officers) for change for D the stupid machine," he added.

CCHE to Study Progrant Cuts Metropolitan State College will have to brace itself in November to face a review for possible cutbacks in teacher education and business administration, and other programs the Colorado Commission on Higher Education deem unnecessary duplications of other programs in the state, according to Irene Sweetkind, vice chair of the Consortium 9f State Colleges.

The Consortium met on the Auraria campus last Thursday afternoon to discuss the results of several meetings held during September by subcommittees of the CCHE Program Discontinuance Committee.

The Discontinuance Committee, empowered by House Bill 1187, is seeking to determine whether certain programs in the state overlap, and if those programs can be eliminated or consolidated to increase the quality and accessibility of the programs.

The results of the committee's study will be given to the Legislature in January of 1986.

"The results of the actions of the committee may not be felt for several years, but the actions of the program committee will affect the role and mission of our institutions far into the future," Sweetkind wrote in a memorandum to the consortium.

Representatives of the committee will be at MSC Monday, Nov.18, in the morning, and at the University of Colorado at Denver in the afternoon.

A public hearing will be held on ~ov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Heritage Center, 1300 Broadway, to receive any input interested parties may have.

A delegation of 33 Chinese educators toured the Auraria Campus last Thursday as part of a United States visit aimed at finding ways to improve the People's Republic of China's higher education system The educators, representing the PRC's Director of Provincial Education Department Bureaus, are touring U.S. colleges and universities after attending a provincial education management seminar sponsored by the Economic Development Institute of World Bank last month.

According to George Ek of the Colorado Department of Education's Conservation Education Services, Auraria was chosen because of its unusual role as a multi-institutional campus and reputation for excellent instruction.

One educator also was interested in an international exchange program with MSC. Michael Tang, MSC's director of Intercultural Programs, said a proposal will be submitted to the Consortium of State Colleges for grant money

to negotiate a faculty and/ or student exchange program with administrators from Shenyang Construction Engineering College in Liaoning Province, China.

Tang said Chinese engineering schools excel in environmental protection and solare energy technology.

"We're there willing to give their views on architecture that harmonizes physical structure with the natural environment," Tang said. · In most other areas, he said, Chinese colleges are technologically hungry.

Delegates from 33 Chinese provinces gather "We don't want to have an exchange unless it' will be beneficial to (MSC)," at the Interfaith Center following a tour of the Tang said. "It may even turn out that Auraria Crunpus. The delegation has visited we can't come to terms."

I think there are too many other things we can spend the money for. When you look at the number of students that would directly benefit from the program, I don't think it's cost effective.

And remember, I was orginally trained as a coach ... so I'm not opposed to athletics."

I don't have any strong opinions on that, although I don't think I ever favored the monorail."

• 'Tm not sure that it was. I'm not sure that it was a cost-effective answer to it. I was never really knowledgeable about what exactly they were going to do with it, and what kind of money they were going to put into it. What it was going to do besides serve the campus here. Where the handup eventually came was that several people dido 't want to get involved.

Charles Allbee, English •"No, it's too much for too few. If you're to invest that amount of money. How many people are going to be involved in basketball? You've got a dozen on the squad and some cheerleaders, maybe. How many is that one-quarter of a million going to be spent on?"

•"I never thought the idea of a monorail was all that good of an idea in the first place. But I understand why AHEC would have thought it was a good idea. It was a response to try and overcome a problem that was deliberately planned into this campus and my persuasion is that people ought to be realistic and have careful plannini;i: in the first place. Parking was built under the assumption that people would take public transportation and people should have known b etter."

• "Some possibility, but not highly probable. I don't think people are going to try to park over there if there's a chance they're going to get close-up parking. I want to park as close as I can, because I'm usually carrying a whole bunch of stuff around and I don't want to walk six or eight blocks carrying a 40 or 60 pound suitcase full of student's papers. I don't think students want to carry a 40 or 60 pound nap-sack five or six blocks."

·COLUMNISTS Student Apathy Thriving or Not-Who Cares?

Dave Sutherland

•

Let's talk about student apathy. I hear apathy this, apathy that all the time.

Apathy is the cause of all problems. And apathy is the reason solutions fail.

Student government constantly moans and groans about apathy and unin· volved students. Student government can never fill all its representative positions. No one votes in student government elections. Why? Because the students are just too apathetic, of course.

I don't believe in this student apathy. I'm sick of constantly hearing about it.

It's an excuse for failure, a cop-out for inaction and an easy argument.

A student government report issued this week said something about appalling · apathy; my name is on that report along with others. But I decided that this report, which I had a hand in writing, is bunk.

Consider the nature of this campus. No dorms. Everyone Jives at home somewhere in the metro area. Students drive or ride to school from as far away as Blackhawk, Wiggins, Gold Hill, or Palmer Lake. They live in neighborhoods near family and friends, stores, recreation, entertainment, etc.

This all means that students probably don't need the school or the campus for anything except a college education.

That's what people like about a commuter campus-they don't need to move away from home, It's not like we're away from home living in college dorms looking for and needing something to do.

So, what's the point? We have about 17,000 students at Metro paying activity1 and-service fees that add up to almost $700,000. And now I'm beginning to think that most students don't need most of the activities and services we pay for.

I want strong legal services for students. But, I concluded that the only legal , services we need are those that will prevent a student from leaving school due to a legal problem.

I used to think that we should have things provided that students can't afford or don't have time for off campus because they are in school. But that arguement may be invalid if we get what we want and need elsewhere. Students pay a professional activities director almost 40 Grand a year, out of a total budget of

about $100,000, to administer a program I rarely use and that most students don't use at all.

I like Family :'.\light, that's once a year. But by and large, Student Activities at Metro fails to provide anything for the student that they can't get somewhere else.

The other day there was a band in the Mission with only 10 students listening. I estimate that less than 10 percent of Metro students use the activities program. If too few students participate in a program, it needs to be examined, and student needs and wants need to be evaluated.

A task force to study raising student fees has been formed by Dr. Magelli. And yours truly is on it. As you can tell I've already started my homework. I do intend to have every penny of the inevitable raise justified. I also want to have this issue aired publicly.

If you have an opinion on fees and the upcoming raises that you would like the committee to know about, I suggest a letter to Bob Davis, The Metropolitan's editor.

Take a Haiku There's a chap name of Pieter Van Court, Who wrote Haikus (small poems, very short), Yet he didn't know his iambic pentameterFrom a hole in the earth's crusty exterior!

Your Student Government needs your support, ideas and involvement! Without the students of Metro, there wouldn't be a Student Government. Do you know where your student fees are being spent? Do you care? Do you know your government has established a Constitution to guide the processes of Student Government! What does this Constitution say? Who holds the power? How and who decides where your money is being spent? U you want answers to these questions come by the Student Government·office and find out! We are located on the third floor of the Student Center next to the fireplace lounge directly above the cafeteria! Room 341C! The Student Government needs representatives from all facets of the student population. There are positions available on the Judicial Board and in the Senate. Metro has more student involvement in the spending of student fees than any other college in Colorado. If you want a say in how the money is spent or how the government works, get involved! The apathy of this student body is appalling. When it comes to parties and bands and entertainment,there is rarely a shortage of students. When it comes to criticism, there is more than enous:i:h. Yet when it comes to getting involved, there is a major shortage of students.

We can't represent you without your ideas and opinions. If the current trend continues, students will lose the rights that they deserve.

The Judicial Board is a facet of the student government that handles grievances against and settles disputes between members of the student government. It's time to stop talking and start acting. Without the student body's support, the government is just a puppet for the administration. Next time you want to criticize the student government or the administration, take a good look at yourself and ask, "How do I make my opinions known?"

The Judicial Board can provide an outlet to hear grievances directed at Student Government. We will make sure your voice gets heard on campus.

Complaints or greivances must be submitted to the Judicial Board in written form. Specific details must be stated. The complaint will be recognized by the Judicial Board and considered at its next meeting.

If you are interested in helping us help students with their problems, please come and talk to us. The Judicial Board is taking a new attitude of helping students in and out of Student Government. The old attitude of Judicial Board as judge over the masses, and only that, is out. The Judicial Board will stand for making life easier for the student at large and for making student goverment process easy, fair, legal and in the best interests of the students.

Sincerely and of course legally, Holly Longenecker W. Brett Goodwin Dave Sutherland

Cookie Pusher Sells Illiterate Adults on Reading I

David King Reporter

r

T

;-

Wally Amos' career as a promoter has been unconventional. But then, you don't get the nickname "Famous Amos" by hawking used cars.

Amos is the creator of, and marketing wizard behind, the Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie-a crispy, chocolate-dotted, bite-sized advertiser's dream.

He was at Auraria last week to speak on success in the 1980s. The lecture, entitled "You Can Make It Too," was sponsored by MSC Student Activities and UCD Events.

Amos' atypical climb to cookie magnate began in 1961, when he was hired by the William Morris Agency in New York. He was the first black theatrical agent employed by the agency-and was responsible for signing such acts as Simon and Garfunkel, the Supremes, the Temptations and Dionne Warwicke.

In a business where recognition is important, Amos developed an unforgettable gimmick-the chocolate-chip cookie. He began baking the cookies and using them as business cards, giving small bags of thein away to business associates.

The surprising popularity of his home-made cookies eventualiy convinced him to switch his promotional skills from the creative to the culinary.

He says he enjoyed working with actors and singers, but they could be unreliable.

"I could get my clients the jobs, but they had to keep them," Amos says.

"Cookies don't give you a hard time."

With financial backers that included Helen Reddy and Bill Cosby, Amos opened the first Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie store in Hollywood in 1975. Thirty-four stores are now open, as well as a booming wholesale business, serving elite retail outlets.

The shipping list includes names like Marshall Field's Neiman-Marcus, Macy's, and Bloomingdale's.

Amos says the continuing success of the cookie is due to advertising.

"Promotion of the cookie has been constant for the last 10 years," he says.

Managing the cookie keeps Amos traveling about nine months out of the year. But he says he has learned how to cope with a frantic life on the road.

"It's what I have to do," Amos says.

It's my responsibility, so I make it fun."

His stop in Denver was part of a 46-day tour that has included Washington, D.C., New York, Houston, Seattle, and San Francisco, about three cities a week.

"It's always that kind of pace, but if you're going to promote something, that's what you've got to do," Amos says.

A large part of his time on the road is spent promoting an organization called Literacy Volunteers of America. Amos is the national spokesman for the project, which provides tutoring for illiterate adults. Amos says there are 'l:1 million illiterate adults in the United States.

"If you can read, then you can do anything else," Amos says.

"It affects the lives of so many people. I just didn't want to be famous for

selling cookies, I wanted to do something more.

"Unless you do something constructive with it, fame doesn't mean anything."

His white-straw hat and broad smile are familiar to many who wouldn't normally be interested in a cookie entrepreneur. He has appeared on several television shows including "Taxi," the "Today Show," and ABC News' "20/20." He also has been a featured soloist with the Honolulu Symphony, playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" on his kazoo.

Amos, a Tallahassee, Fla., native, now lives on Oahu, Hawaii. He likes a tranquil island setting once in awhile for therapeutic purposes. He is planning to go to Bora Bora in December to "rejuvenate."

"There's nothing to do in Bora Bora but swim."

But he never stays in paradise for long. The vacations just prepare him to go back to his promotional responsibilities.

He is never satisfied with his marketing accomplishments; he says, "Oh god, we have so far to go."

He is starting to promote Famous Amos diet chocolate soda and diet rocky road soda. He also is developing Famous Amos ice cream and candy.

But products are not the key to Amos' success. They are the tools he uses to sell Wally Amos. And he doesn't intend.to slow down his sales pitch any time soon. He has foo much to accomplish.

"You're never a success to yourself," Amos says.

Her diet of rice and cassava

greens, a local plant, was a ehange from American fare. But she never felt homesick or scared.

"Experience in a new culture stretches your life experience, your values and your world view to the maximum. The Peace Corps experience tested my strengths and weaknesses unlike any other experience in my life so far.

Some people don't want to be stretched.

But for me, it was the biggest challenge.

"I became a very resourceful person, tapping resources within. And I got to know my limitations fairly fast.

Three hundred students was all I could handle. You can grow a whole lot in those two years, in ways you never thought would be possible."

The most difficult part of Vorkink's Peace Corps adventure, however, was returning home.

"Coming back, for me, was the hardest part. It's the affluence-the supermarkets. Everyone's got a pair of shoes, if not 10 pairs of shoes. Everyone's reasonably well fed. The pace of life is so fast. We have so much, yet we waste so much, and we take so much for granted. It's a shock to come back to so much."

Today' Vorkink maintains ties with Liberiabysponsoringherformerhouseboy's college education. She sends tuition payments to Daniel, an 18-yearold studying economics at the University of Liberia in Monrovia, the country's capital. She worries about the boy, whose photograph she carries· in her wallet, because "the government's pretty erratic about closing and opening that school." But she said she looks forward to his serving his country someday.

While lounging in Metro's Student Center, lunching on a sandwich and V-8 juice, Vorkink mused over her desire to return to Africa, either to teach or to work for an African hungerrelief agency. She chairs a hunger task force at her Unitarian church, which sends proceeds from its fundraisers to the Sudan. And she sees a "tremendous need for exchange of skills" iQ Africa.

But the main pull calling her back is an emotional one.

"Once you've experienced Africa, it's a never ending love affair."

Peace Corps recruiters, however, try to avoid painting rosy pictures for their applicants. Rather, recruiters try to prepare applicants for frustrating as well as positive tasks that await them.

"There will be frustrations. We don't present the Peace Corps as a bed of roses," said Lewis Moore, public affairs manager for the Denver Peace Corps Recruitment Office. "Different people adjust at different rates. Some people jump right in; others approach (change) more cautiously. That's why we interview (applicants) for incentive as well as maturity. It does take a very flexible person- a highly adjustable person."

Applying for Peace Corps service, a complex, thorough process, can take six to eight months, Moore said. First an applicant fills out an application form and is interviewed by a local recruiter, who discusses the various

geographic and task assignments generally available.

Afterdetennininganapplicant'spreferences, the recruiter submits the ap}l.1' cation to the corps' Washington, D.C., office and waits for a request from a host country seeking similar skills. This match alone can take six months, depending on the particular skill.

Science-oriented volunteers, for exampie, are in high demand, while journ~lism openings are rare.

Once a potential match is identified, the applicant su,bmits the names of eight personal references, in addition to more in-depth personal background information. If these submissions Pl'!SS muster, the local recruiter returns the application to the national office for further review. About two months later, assuming the applicant has been accepted, he should receive his assignment option, usually eight weeks prior to departure. ·f During the final eight weeks, the Peace Corps will take the applicant through medical and dental examina-

tions and usually a 10-day Center fo1 Assessment and Training (CAST}.

At CAST, a final personality prob«: is done thIOugh psychological testing, group discussions and role playing CAST participants also build friend· ships among fellow volunteers assigned to the same locations. Often the spe· cific village assignment is withheld until the applicant has arrived in thE host country, to further assure a prope1 match.

This involved process took years tc develop. Established by President Jahr F . Kennedy in 1961, the Peace Corpi has changed its focus over the years because of changes both here iµic abroad.

"The Peace Corps has 24 years 0 1 community grass-roots experience,'

. Africans How to Fish :Moore said. Originally, programs were designed to provide basic structures for basic, nonexistent needs, such as -alth care and transportation. "Putting down a few dams, sewer systems, some electricity-large-scale capital improvements."

But some undeveloped countries lacked the resources to maintain such large capital improvements. "'Even if the countries had the expertise," Moore said; "they didn't have the finances to repair" the dams and buildings the Peace Corps had erected in earlier years.

So now, the Peace Corps stresses ~ore rural agricultural development projects, with "more local grass-roots involvement and self-sufficiency." This change became especially urgent in light of the African food crisis.

"We have a new initiative to fight the hunger-the African Foods Systems Initiative," Moore said. "It's a cooperative effort to bring out some longrange planning and change relative to food problems."

...

One home-based change in the Peac~ Corps has been an increase in its budget. A federal agency funded by 1~ongress, the Peace Corps is enjoying renewed interest because of the attention given to the African hunger crisis.

Its annual $90 million budget remained relatively stable through the 1970s, Moore said. But in 1980, a budget increase from Congress enabled the ,.-corps to field more people. Over the next three years, the corps pains to grow from 6;200 to 10,000 people-a new goal for the recruiters. Those recruiters are emphasizing the improved training in skills, cultural ,., orientation and language now offered applicants.

"With the changing nature of the program," Moore said, "there was a

need for that (improved training) ."

The '60s laid an important foundation for the more specific projects-rather than giving a person a fish , we now teach him now to fish."

Among today's Peace Corps recruits are 204 Coloradans-the majority from the Denver-Boulder area. One local resident about to embark on her first Peace Corps assignment is Vickie D'Andrea-Penna, 28, a Metropolihln State College professor, teaching essay composition and research writing.

On Sept. 30, D'Andrea-Penna left with her husband, David, a 1985 University of Denver law school graduate, for the first leg of their journey to Botswana. After spending time visiting with each of their families in Ohio and New Jersey, and after attending a week at a CAST session in West Virginia, they will leave Nov. 19 for Africa.

D'Andrea-Penna,.who holds a master's degree in English education from Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, knows she11 be teaching English as a second language at junior-high level to students of all ages. But that's about all she knows about her assignment.

"You can't really know specific goals until you get there," D-Andrea-Penna said. "David is a 'special assignments volunteer,' which means we don't know what he'll be doing." They expect he may teach mathematics, since he tutored math while an undergraduate student.

"Ifs a matter of trusting and being flexible," D'Andrea-Penna said. "You have to put it aU in their hands. You've got to be a flexible kind of person. You have to want to do it bad enough that you're going through with whatever they want you to do. They will provide us with an oil lamp; we know that much." . They are allowed to pack 80 pounds of goods and are taking practical items, such as boots, jeans, khaki pants and a frying pan.

"We're taking things you can't get there or would be too expensive,'~he said. The standard monthly stipend for a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa is about $375.

"We can't even bring many booksjust what we'd 1?-eed to teach. My guitar is on the top of the list, and a Swiss Army knife- they told us that's important."

Their most useful advice so far has come from a Denver engineer, Steve Lawry, who served in Botswana 15 years ago. He came back with a wife, Tebogo, and knowledge of native greetings and diet, which be shared with the Pennas. They also picked up tips by attending local dinner meetings ·held monthly by area Peace Corps veterans. Even a neighbor in their Brooks Towers apartment complex in downtown Denver, John McDonald, who spent time with the Peace Corps in Swaziland, offered advice.

Based on these sources, the Pennas anticipate a diet of rice and goat's meat, with few fresh fruits or vegetables.

"We'll probably need to bring vit-

"I don't expect it to be an easy thing.

I expect to learn a lot," she said in an interview at the Mercantile Restaurant, as a student munching on a hamburger at a nearby table gave her a sideways glance.

"This has been a dream for me a !orig time," she continued. ''I've thought about doing it for 10 years. It's a goal we both had in mind. I really do want to help. I've always been interested in the world community. Different cultures have always fascinated me ..

'Tm not foolish in thinking I can change the world. But once I get there, 111 do whatever I can. For me, I think I will learn from it. But I wouldn't feel good about Westernizing them. We11 influence each other."

As for her family's reaction to her decision to enter the Peace Corps, D'Andrea-Penna received mixed reviews.

"At first, my mother was frightened and worried. But I talked to her about the government and the situation there, and she seemed pacified," Her father was agreeable. But the reaction of her 82-year old grandfather, 'who immigrated to America from Italy at age 11, surprised her.

"He thinks it's great. That makes me feel so much better because I need their support."

Their friends, she said, have been supportive and excited.

"We've been going to going-away pa,ties for three weeks now."

As the Pennas make final preparations for their two-year commitment to Botswana, a thinly populated, half parched, half swamp-covered country bordering South Africa, their thoughts veer away from the frustrations and problems that may confront them.

Instead they choose to focus on the positive.

"This," D'Andrea-Penna said, going to be an adventure.

Scholars Study Potential for Life After MSC Lisa Jean Silva Reporter

Fulbright scholarships are the reBUlt of the Fulbright Act (1946), which provides funds received from the sale of surplus U.S. government property abroad for educational purposes. Fulbright fellowships are awarded to Americans for study and teaching in the U.S. it was named after Sen. James William Filbright, American lawyer, educator, and Democrat politician from Arkansas.

Sixteen Fulbright scholars came to the United States about four weeks ago from West Germany, or, more precisely, from the Federal Republic of Germany, to study "rton-elitist" American universities. The four who came to Metro last week were interested in how American students make the leap from classrooms to the labor market.

The Metropolitan interviewed three scholars at a reception for international students at St. Francis Interfaith Center last Tuesday. They were: Dr. Margarete van Oordt, from der Universitat Trier (in the Mosel River Valley); Dr. Hartmut Stieger ("Hahtmoot Shteeger"), from Justus-Liebig-Universitatin Gies-

..

sen; and Traugott Klose, from the Freie (free) Universitat in West Berlin.

The scholars said they hope to use some of the ideas they've gleaned here when they get back home.

The scholars, university counselors and administrators were "very impressed" with the services offered at Metro and other U .S. colleges and universities, they said.

Germany's post-war baby boom now is peaking at the university level, later than the U.S. baby boom, they explained, because it took Europe so much longer to recover and rebuild after World War II. The German scholars were genial through heavy accents, sometimes pausing to mentally reach for an English word or phrase and often gesturing between sips of wine and bites of crudites.

Van Oordt, who looked very much like a wholesome version of Elke Sommer, listed the universities they'd been to: Georgetown University, Morgan State (in Maryland), Rutgers, New Jersey's Institute of Technology, Ohio State and Antioch College were among them.

"Princeton was sacrificed to Gloria," she said, laughing. As it turns out, Princeton still stands, but the scholars' visit was sacrificed to the great winds and water of the storm.

=====~~~===-------------------

"We never see storms like that in Europe," said Stieger. "It's impossible.

The Pyrenees (mountain range) runs P.ast to west, unlike the Rocky Mountains," he said, so weather changes north-to-south are less violent. All were satisfied with the explanation.

Back to school.

"It's very difficult to change bureacratic things in Germany," said van Oordt, who said she was amazed at the cooperation between private and public sectors here.

"My impression is that career counselors work very hard and are very effective here. lliere is no (organized) career placement service for students in Germany beyond the Federal lnstitute of Employment-if one wants to utilize it," she said.

Cooperative education programs, internships and post-college placement services and counseling teamed withcorporateaccessabilitywerenovel to them, the scholars said.

While the curriculum is tougher in German high schools and unh:ersities than in the U.S., students ofteu ar1' attending part-time or not at all iu West Germany, although all students are listed as full time on university rosters.

West German universities are free; all costs are paid by the state, the scholars explained. Students aren't watched to see if they attend; they have the

freedom to drop in and out; and they do so.

The Fulbright scholars seemed to feel lheir system was too free. They also seemed to link the lack of practical, on-the-job experience in German schools to their drop-in, drop-out rate.

Traugurr Kk,se, from Berlin, said the Free University where he teaches has · fewer placement problems-perhaps because almost half of the students are from abroad and 65 percent are medical students. Free University students pay modest tuition.

But Stieger and van Oordt said they hoped to apply some of what they've leamed-"introducing it slowly," said van Oordt, who was especially impressed with Metro's interview workshops, which teach job applicants how to approach employer interviews.

Another peculiarity of U.S. colleges and universities, the scholars said, was the "marketing and competition" between them. "It's almost as if each was a business," van Oordt said.

And, the bulk of advertising literaturehassomewhatoverwhelmedthem.

"I have so much material- so much literature!" van Oordt said.

Stieger grinned, and raised his palm from the table, reaching high above his head.

"A mountain I Too much to read," he said.

Even Hot Acting Leaves 'Maxie' Without Spark Chad Morris Reporter

MAXIE: starring Glenn Close, Mandy Patinkin, and Ruth Gordon. Directed by Paul Aaron.

Produced by Carter De Haven. Based on "Marion's Wall," by Jack Finney. Rated PG.

Glenn Close as Maxie

"Maxie" stars Glenn Close and Mandy Patinkin as a ~an Francisco couple whose lives are disrupted by a ghost from the Roaring Twenties.

Although a fairly entertaining movie, it doesn't gather enough steam to capture the audience.

Close plays Jan Cheyney, a quiet woman, working as a secretary for the bishop of San Francisco. Prim and proper, she is predictably, married to a librarian.

Patinkin is Nick Cheyney, Jan's husband. As a librarian, he works in the rare-books section of the San Francisco Library. Though quiet, like Jan, he exudes a repressed air. It's as though there are things he wants to do, but he won't let himself go.

One night as the couple is steaming old wallpaper from the walls of their new apartment, they discover a message. It reads: "Maxie Malone lived here March 3, 1927. Read it and weep."

BUY 5 SONY 3.5" DISKS ... GET A FREE STORAGE CASE WITH COLLEGE EMBLEM! Who invented the 3.5" disk? Sony did. For disks that perform to the highest standards, it's a smart move to go to the source. And we're smart enough to know you need a place to put your disks-so when you buy 5 Sony 3.5" Micro Floppydisks, we'll give you a free storage case with your college emblem!

NY

S 0

This cryptic message leaves the couple wondering until, conveniently, their landlady, Mrs. Lavin, played by Ruth Gordon, explains.

Mrs. Lavin, once known as Trudy Lisco, had been the toast of 'Fri..,co.

She and Maxie, a fellow vamfrvillian, sang and danced together.

But Maxie wanted more than a song and dance routine. She wanted to be in pictures. After playing a small role, she was offered a screen test by D. W. Griffith, a director/producer.

Confident that the part would be hers, Maxie threw a wild party at her apartment (now the Cheyney's}, wrote the message on the wall, and left in her car, Hollywood bound. Being drunk, however, she drives into a tree instead of Tinsel Town.

The tragic story of the actress intrigues Nick, who is something of a romantic. He locates a videotape of the one movie Maxie was in, a silent classic called "Flapper Melodies."

After viewing the film, Nick is impressed with Maxie's ability and charm.

His wife goes to bed, and Nick decides to watch the film again.

That's when things get strange.

A disembodied voice speaks to him,

AURARIA BOOKSTORE

- -- - - - -- -

- -

identifying itself as the spirit of the dead actress. Nick doesn't know how to handle this, decides to try to forget the incident, and goes to bed.

Once in bed, his wife attacks him with more lust than he has ever known, and just as it's getting interesting, she rolls over and goes to sleep.

By the next day, it becomes evident what has happened. Maxie's spirit has inhabited Jan's body and is capable of controlling it. One minute Jan is quiet and shy, the next she is the wild Maxie.

This makes life rather rough on Nick, who doesn't know if he's making love to his wife or the dead actress.

"Here I am looking at my wife's face, my wife's body, and I'm telling you I don't want to be unfaithful to you, with you," he screams at one point.

Later, after disrupting the Cheyney's lives, Maxie agrees to leave forever on one condition. After all this time, she still wants her chance at stardom. H she can use Jan's body for a few days, she says, she can see if she could have made it.

The movie definitely moves along.

But even with the quality acting of Close ("The Big Chill") and Patinkin ("Ragtime"}, it lacks the spark that makes a romantic comedy work.

Both are believable as a quiet married couple, and Close is exceptional as the rambunctious Maxie. The role is a real change for Close, who has played very controlled and orderly characters.

Probably one of the best scenes in the movie takes place at a staid dinner party for the library. Maxie suddenly takes over and after a few Bronx cocktails, starts singing in the band. After Maxie sings a few choruses of "Bye Bye, Blackbird," Nick hustles her out of the party.

In this scene, Close shows she is capable of doing more on the screen than just calmly dispensing wisdom, as she did in "The Big Chill" and "The World According to Carp."

Patinkin in turn, is good as a husband who faces the problem of remaining faithful to his wife under unusual circumstances. Previously his roles have b een serious, such as in "Ragtime" and the Broadway production of "Evita."

This role is a departure for him as well.

The supporting cast of Ruth Gordon, Barnard Hughes, and Valerie Curtin, who plays a vamping librarian, works well, but again, a real spark was lacking.

Not to say this is a bad movie, in fact, it is a well-acted and directed film.

One leaves the theater feeling good about how the film turns out, but all the while knowing it would anyway.

The film's main problem was pacetoo many starts and stops. It starts slow, speeds up when Maxie appears, slows down too much for several side stories that don't really fit and speeds up again when Maxie goes to Hollywood. There should have been more moderation and consistency.

Essentially, this is a good movie that, if better edited and written, could D have been a great film.

Gentle Barbarians Booze Under Bridge After Game Joseph Ross Reporter

As snow fell on a dreary Sunday afternoon and the temperature stayed at 33 degrees, a gang of scrums and maulers huddled beneath the Speer Boulevard bridge, staying dry and sharing booze.

The leader of the gang, Buster Thomson, took a long drag from his Camel cigarette and adjusted his orange stocking cap.

"The good ones get in on the action all the time," he said.

Hustlers? Sharks? Thieves? No, something far worse.

The MSC Rugby Club was throwing its customary post-game party. Coach Thomson joined the group of barbarians, infamous for destroying a bar (never happened) and piercing their ears (well, maybe) with cocktail swords.

"We get a little rowdy sometimes," team captain Mike (Rugby.God) Johnson admitted.

The party after a loss to Colorado Springs, 8-0, wasn't as rowdy as most.

"We got booted from Whiskey Bill's because some people we were drinking with weren't 21," Johnson said. "So we dec~ded to get a keg for today."

As the keg emptied, the spirits of the men rose. They began to jive about a crazy Colorado Springs player who wore buzzed hair and 250 pounds of meat on a 5' 10" body, and the blond cheap-shot who was biting while in the bottom of a scrum-a pile of players who appear to be looking for a lost contact.

These players' high spirits come from their love of the game, Johnson said.

"The sport is abstract and highly competitive," he said. "It is known as the barbarian's game played by gentlemen."

Only 17 of the 27 gentlemen showed up for Sunday's game. But the club doesn't expect perfect attendance, Thomson said.

"Being a club is different than varsity sports,"he said. Inclement weather and other interests keep some members away.

"We played well, considering we were missing most of our backs."

Of the CZ7 members, only Johnson and Tim Parker have played on the MSC club more than a year. Although the team has little experience, Thomson expects improvement.

Local high schools have started rugby programs and Thomson hopes some

Women's Soccer Manages A Tough Tie Against UNC Mark LePedus Reporter

Metro women's soccer coach Ed Montojo had a good reason to be concerned after last week's contest against the University of Northern Colorado.

The Roadrunners, who played their most intense game of the season, managed to gain a 3-3 tie in double overtime.

"It was a tough one to tie," Montojo said. "We had them, and we let them slip out of our fingers."

In the game, Clair Howe, Amy Shute and Laurie Deshler scored goals in the second half for Metro.

Montojo said his team played well, but he was concerned with the disappointment and the emotional drain of his players after the game in addition to the two IO-minute overtime periods.

"This one took a lot out of us," he said.

But the Roadrunners, now 10-3-1 for the season, bounced back to defeat the University of Denver, 2-1, on Oct. 11. :\-Ietro's leading scorer this year, Tonya Ridgeway, and Shute scored a goal apiece to give the Roadrunners their second win of the season over DU. "That was a good win for us," said Montojo., "It showed we could come back."

Montojo praised the efforts of Kelli Carmicheal, Sherri Martinez and Dani Denight.

Texas A&M, the sixth-ranked team in the Western Region, took advantage of several offensive opportunities to defeat the Roadrunners Oct. 13, 4-1.

Lisa Berry scored Metro's only goal in the second half with an assist from Ridgeway.

Metro, looking for a berth into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournament, have two crucial games this week.

The MSC Women's Volleyball team .returned from a trip to Alaska this weekend, where they captured three out of four matches against tlie University of Alaska (Anchorage) and the University of Alaska (Fairbanks).

In Frida v' s first game against Anchorage, the Roadrunners swept the opposition in straight sets, 15-11, 15-9 and 16-14. Anchorage bounced back Saturday morning with 15-9, 16-14 and 15-11 win over MSC, in what assistant coach David Barkley said was one of the most disappointing games of the year.

"It's just one of those games where things didn't click," Barkley said. ":'.'Jobody played good against Anchorage."

Barkley did praise the play of senior Teri Mohr in the game and said that one of the team's biggest mistakes was not going to her more.

Saturday night the Roadrunners

clubbed Fairbanks 15-9, 15-13 and 1512 and wrapped it up Sunday night with a 13-15, 15-1, 15-6and15-5victory over Fairbanks.

"We played too many games," Johnson said. "We played well enough to win but didn't correct our mistakes.

We were never in danger of losing either matches."

Overall, Johnson was a little disappointed in the trip even though the team played well enough to win three of the four matches.

"Right now we've got to work on our service receive. Our defense is holding up pretty well," she said.

The trio of victories left the women

with a 4-2 conference record and 15-8 overall as they head into some important conference games.

Cross Country With only three runners entered, the MSC cross country team didn't qualify for a team standing Saturday at the Colorado College Invitational.

In the five mile run, Roy Roberts, Dave Jesmer and Ben Dunning finished the race, as three other team members couldn't run due to injury.

Todd Moore was out with a back problem, Todd Laughlin with a hamstring injury and Ken Clark with an

incision on his leg. Another runner, Michael Reichardt, didn't make it to the meet.

Two women ran in the race. One, Jennifer Bonilla, ran attached to the team while another, Diana Wrenshall,. ran unattached.

Wrenshall, 36, has been running for eight years. She is not eligible to run attached because she has been out of school since '68.

Head coach Mike Albright said the ones who ran, ran well. He noted that Jesmer broke the 30 minute mark for the first time this year.

Grand Canyon College got a rude welcome, when they were clobbered

Tallying goals for the Roadrunners were freshmen John Davies, Andy Mathews and Mitch Gorsevski and seniors Dan Lombard and Politano.

MSC wrapped up the week with a hard fought 2-1 double-overtime victory over University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

Student -Publications, Director of Katie Lutrey

We wanted to take this space to say we're very proud to have the opportunity to serve Auraria as a primary source of information. We take pride in being objective yet progressive in our coverage of campus events.

The senior editorial staff of The Metropolitan, with the assistance of our director, developed a mission which has been accepted by the Board of Publications. We feel the mission is complete and offers us a direction that we can follow this year and a basis for the future editors to build on in the years to come.

In general, we want to pay much more attention to our readers. We must find creative, effective ways to determine what our readers would most enjoy in an on-campus newspaper.

We want to provide you with information important to you in your time on campus in a form you will enjoy because learning should be fun.

We try to publish the highest quality articles and photographs as possible.

Quality comes in more accurate, complete and entertaining coverage of the events important to our readers.

We're pushing for excellence. By demanding professional standards we feel our staff has arrived at a level that we are very proud of.

Please let us know what you think about what we're doing. We're here for your entertainment and we can always use your input.
