Cap Raising Long Shot路 Mark LaPedus Reporter

Mike Politano, co-captain of the MSC soccer team, raises the NAIA District 7 Championship trophy. The Roadrunners captured the championship by edging Regis last Monday.

Metropolitan State College may have a "slight" chance to raise its enrollment cap, according to the trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges last week. "With mass student involvement, we have some hope of getting the cap raised," said Metro student trustee Christy Avery, after a two-day meeting at Western State College at Gunnison. "But the students have to act now to raise the cap," she said. "We have to let the politicians know there is intense displeasure with the cap, or else there isn't much we can do about it." The enrollment cap, imposed by the Joint Budget Committee last year, limits Metro to 10,257 full-time equivalent students (FTES) for the 1985-86 fiscal year. Last year, Metro had 10,38.5FTES. As a result, many faculty members and student groups have proposed to lift the cap to 10,661 FTES, equalJing Metro's enrollment two years ago, its highest ever. Because of the enrollment cap, students are encouraged by the Admiscontim1ed on page 6

may increase fees for Metro students. Dr. James Schoemer, activity director of the Auraria Higher Education Center, told the task force that the enrollment cap could affect the bondfee income supporting the Child Care Center, the Student Center and the Auraria Book Center. Each student now pays $19 to support this bond fee. Task Force members Yolanda Ortega and Ben Boltz said another bond fee increase is possible if the Student Center Expansion Committee receives approval from the Auraria Board to establish a reserve fund for future student-center renovation. A student referendum, possibly next fall, may determine if this fee increase will be passed. Dr. Adolph Grundman, chairman of the Commission on IntercolJegiate

Athletics, told the task force that MSC now belongs to two athletic groups, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the National Collegiate Athletics Association. This means that Metro is subject to two sets of regulations-and two sets of fees. Grundman said the athletic commission recommends dropping membership in the NAIA, committing Metro to a strong Division II NCAA program. SimiJar Division II schools support athletic programs at a cost of about $600,000 he said. For MSC, matching this would mean an increase of approximately $200,000 over the current program budget. Grundman estimated an increase of $10 per student in fees to meet such additional costs, and leave some money in reserve. o

Parollees May Be Judged At Admissions Inquest Tom Smith Reporter

Tough questions about whether parolees should be allowed in MSC classes and who is responsible for them were discussed at the Faculty Senate meeting last Thursday. The main concern of the 46 men and 13 women in attendance was whether a teacher has the right to know if a student in his class is on parole. The majority voted that they didn't have the right and didn't want to know. The people who should know would be an application-review committee, a proposed faculty bill stated. The proposed committee would comprise two psychologists from the college faculty, one faculty member from the

Department of Criminal Justice, one faculty member from the parolee's intended major department, one academic administrator and the director of public safety or a similar off~cial. The committee, considering all available information, would decide whether to accept the applicant. Its recommendation would go to Ken Curtis, director of admissions, who would have the final say. The applicant could appear before the committee to present his case, or could be represented by counsel. A bill the Faculty Senate reviewed stated admission may be denied if the applicant's "personal history and background indicates that his or her presence at the college may endanger the health, safety, welfare or property of

Faculty Senate ~embers at a recent meeting. the members of the academic community or may interfere with the orderly and effective performance of the college functions." Admission also depends on the premise that enrollment will be in the best interest of the individual as well as the college, the bill proposed. A major concern at the meeting was

whether a committee member can be held legally responsible for the actions of a parolee he approves. The senate sent the proposed bill to the Personnel and Welfare Committee for further discussion. Any action taken must be approved by the full senate before it could be implemented. D

OPINION Metro's Admissions War-Does Anyone Give a Damn? Editor, Admission standards for Metro would keep out some students now admitted. Just how many depends on which paper you read and on which day. An enrollment cap for Metro also keeps out some students. Again, just how many depends on which paper and which day. I've been reading about turf battles between and among legislators and education administrators since I got to Denver in 1980. The names change (frequently), and the issues do also-but the battles remain. The battles make good headlines for the papers and a name for the battlers, but nobody else really gives a damn. The battles are over students-but the students don't give a damn. The battles are over spending lots of tax money-but the taxpayers don't give a damn. :'llobody gives a damn, because they have all heard it before and before and before and ... Well, I care; I'm a student and a taxpayer, and they're fighting over my future and my money. I care, and I have a lot of questions I'd like answers to but there seems little hope of getting them. The media are supposed to help me get them-but the mediocre journalism passed off on Denver citizens is no help. Guess they don't give a damn either. I have questions for the legislators. Why are you so proud of HB 1187? Isn't the new Colorado Commission on Higher Education it created doomed to the same parochial ineffectiveness that the rest of the system features? Why does HB 1187 look so much like the JBC's Memorandum of Understanding? Was Sen. Dodge right when he said "one way or another, we're going to get our way."? How can you reform (or re-form) public higher education without deciding on its purpose? If you have decided on a purpose, why hide it behind codes about "quality" and "excellence"? Just what does that mean? Who says admission standards have anything to do with excellence, whatever that means? Are they just a disguise for elitism? Caps seem to be an administrative tool. Shouldn't those decisions be made closer to the action, and not by the General Assembly? Are standards and caps just a PR tool for you, a way to shift the blame while giving the appearance of decisive action? I have questions about the JBC. Why does it play a larger role in education than the education committee? Why are negotiations done in private, conducted by a staff member? Does anyone other than Dodge and Kirscht have any ideas-or have any chance of having those ideas involved? Is the MOU a carefully considered document, in

"WE'VE REVIEWED YOUR

the public interest-or just a reaction to the ghost of Arnold Weber? Does Kirscht's real-world job have anything to do with the push for a larger role for community colleges? After reading recent state audits of community colleges, why give them a larger role? I have questions for the community colleges. What have they done to correct administrative top heaviness? How about the mindset that gave us such creative student counting? How much of the money for new students will be spent on faculty and equipment? What happens to vocational education if community colleges become academic feeders for fouryear schools? Should community colleges be filling that role-or should private business do it? I have questions for President Magelli. How many students would the cap and standards keep out, anyway? Why is that so bad? Why did you release incomplete, inaccurate statistics? Why did you release statistics pointing out how few minority students enroll in Metro? How many non-traditional students are in the freshman class? The other classes? How many of them are minorities? Why is the percentage of minority graduates in Education so low? Why did you do such a lousy job with the cap during fall semester? Is there any more substance to your actions than to your rhetoric? Have you applied for any other jobs? Whose future is your commitment to-Metro or yours? Are you trying to antagonize the JBC? Last session they said that if Metro adopted standards, the cap would come off. What's wrong with that? Don't you believe them? Are you trying to get Metro out of the Consortium? Why are we advertising so much? Who is the advertising supposed to bring in? Is it working? I have some questions for The Denver Pest and The Crocky ~fountain News. Why is this an education story? What happened to the statehouse reporters? Or the urban-affairs reporters? Don't you have anyone qualified to ask some questions and do some analysis? Isn't public higher education important enough to rate your best efforts? Or is this the best you have? As a Metro Urban Studies/ Journalism student and a taxpaying citizen, I'm having trouble finding a good role in all of this. They're about as scarce as answers, and nobody gives a damn. -Robert J.

OPINION Cap, Standards May Hurt Minorities, Trustee Says

•

•

f

Editor, The issues of standards and cap at Metro State are of great concern to the Hispanic community of Colorado. What is being proposed in this area does not make sense when the issues of access, quality, cost effectiveness and diversity as they relate to Metro are considered. In doing this, it becomes readily apparent that MSC does not need the "fixing" some people have been led to believe is necessary for the institution. This college is relatively new and has been able to learn from the mistakes of others. Its major contribution to the citizens of this state has come as a result of its ability to perceive the educational needs of the different segments of the metropolitan community and to build the necessary programs to satisfy those needs. The reason Metro State was established as a commuter, four-year college by Colorado was to serve the traditional and nontraditional academic needs of our metropolitan population at a reasonable cost. The citizens of this state wanted to see inner city families have the ability to give their children a college education withou paying an arm and a leg for that education. They wanted to help working people continue their education in order to prepare for the challenges of a promotion or career change as the economy of the state changed. They wanted to see that the average citizen who pays taxes, feeds a family, and works hard to better his or her life, had an opportunity to continue or finish his or her college education. For these reasons, the state of Colorado saw fit to mandate an admission policy that required a high school diploma or GED. Metro has added to this commitment by providing an opportunity for people to come to school during the day or evening, full or part-time, before or after work (or both) in order to realize their educational goals and dreams. Quality at Metro State will not be served by raising standards to exclude people from the opportunity to succeed or fail, putting in so-called "windows" so certain people can get in at the expense of others, or limiting the number of people who can attend the institution. Quality will not be served by penalizing those seeking an opportunity for an education at their local college of choice. Quality will be served by what happens to the student after coming to Metro. In order to remain at the college, students must show reasonable academic progress. If this is not the case, the student usually becomes an attrition statistic which is only right if after being offered the chance, the necessary level of performance was not forthcoming. Also, Metro State can be proud of those who do succeed in completing their education. One has only to look at the reputation of its teacher preparation program which we consider to be the best in the state, its business graduates, who are some of the more sought after as well as predominate in successfully completed C.P.A. examinations, its liberal arts graduates, such as the many journalists and electronic media personalities, and the great numbers of community leaders prepared by the college.

The co.st effectiveness of exclu~ing those minimally qualified to go to college, and putting an enrollment cap on Metro, is very questionable. The college is already one of the lowest cost institutions in the state. Metro makes the tuition and the state-appropriated dollar go farther. Some say that under the new standards, ~ose who cann?t get into Metro State should go to a community college until they can qualify to come to the institution. Without articulation agr~ements, such a practice would look very foolish when measured against pro1ected costs. Tranfers from community and junior colleges in the state must undergo a transcript evaluation by the receiving institution. In this process, up to one year _or more of academic credits already received may not be recognized for a vanety of reasons. What happens, in effect, is that the state of Colorado ends up picking up the tab for the extra costs, not only for the education the student.received at the community college-and not recognized in the transcript evaluation process-but also for the equivalent number of credits to bring the student up to the same level of educational attainment in terms of credits be or she had before transferring to the four-year institution. Therefore, the citizens of the state of Colorado lose again. The diversity of the student body would also be compromised. Metro State is currently_a _m icrocosm of the diverse community as every segment of the com~u~i1?' lS ~~presented . To tamper with the success of this arrangement by m_a kmg_it mt~ Just another school with restrictive admission requirements" is a great _d1sservi~e . The working person who currently comes to college on a part-time basis would be faced with a delay in the attainment of bis or her educational goals, or possibly with elimination of a college education from bis or her plans altogether. And that would be a tragedy because our residents without the_tra~ing and necessary education to compete, would fall victim to~ system which, m effect, encourages out-of-state people with credentials to come and take ava~~ble jobs. Also, many families of the inner city and surrounding commumtJes would be left without access to a four-year institution. such a situation, we believe, would not be tolerated by the citizens of this state. Our recommendation with respect to Metro is very simple: leave it alone. Let it continue to do what it was mandated to do when it was established. It has been very successful at it. Metro State deserves to continue to be an institution of choice for our citizens.

'Make Some Noise,' Student Government Pleads Editor, The purpose of my article is to extend a formal invitation to any Metro student who has a little free time in the course of a week. All you have to do is come into the student government office and express your candid opinion on any political issue that relates to our college. Whether it concerns student government decisions, administrative initiatives or the Joint Budget Committee's agreement is up to you. Good representation requires student input. Other students have written formal invitations in the past, but they have never got results. I'll provide some insight as to what you can expect to find when you walk into the student government office on the third floor of the Student Center, (Room 34IC). A small group of students will probably be sitting in this area discussing campus politics. Don't feel uncomfortable about meeting these people because we have a congenial and receptive group of student representatives this year. Someone may ask you if your interested in working for student government. This is a no-pressure offer that's available for as lo_n g as you atten'tl school here.

1'

But be sure to investigate job responsibilities and current issues in greater depth b efore making a commitment. Most positions demand a significant allocation of time, so be careful not to overextend your work schedule. It's very difficult to find a significant number of students at Auraria who are concerned enough to become political activists. Not only in terms of student g_overnment support, but also in attempts to create an interest group coalition to fight H .B. 1187. Apathy may be an appropriate epitaph for Metro's non-traditional future if the tr~nd continues. This is because pessimistic realists and predeterminists are disencb_anted_ wit~ poli~cal involvement. A defeatest attitude is usually more convement, smce its easier to play prophet and give up trying to create political change. For all the.students who've refused to fight for control of Metro's helm some ~ateful legislators and administrators meditate their many thanks fo; your silence.

ON CAMPUS Off-site Child Abuse-Suspected; Police Take Custody Ron Fugett Reporter

An employee at the Child Care Center assisted the Denver Department of Social Services in a suspected offcampus child abuse case, but Auraria Public Safety is withholding further information. Their incident report stated that a child-whose name is being withheld for his protection-had what appeared to be bruises on his lower back and upper bottocks. The employee stated that after viewing the child's bruises, she called Tina Brown, a social worker from the Denver Department of Social Services. The employee then called the Denver Police Department. Officer H. C. Walker responded to the call and made out an incident report and took custody of the child. The child was then

taken to a crisis center at 730 Kalamath St. Both Brown and Walker could not be reached for comment. Debra Leong, director of the Child Care Center said the alleged chil~ abuse did not take place at the center. We are bound by law to report incident cases involving sufpected child .abuse," Leong said. When a child is taken into custody, the law protects the privacy of the juvenile and parents. But Leong refused to divulge the name of the employee who viewed the alleged bruises on the child in order to protect the center from "future repercussions." "It did not involve any of our staff," she said. "We are very careful about wrongfully accusing a suspected child abuse

because we are supposed to report all alleged child abuse incidents to the authorities," Leong said. She said the law prohibits the center from releasing any information involving all alleged child abuse cases during the investigation.

When the mother arrived to pick up her child, she was told that Social Services and the Denver Police had taken the child to the Crisis Center. The woman left the center without incident. o

The trustees recommended petitioning to raise the cap on other state colleges, including Adams State, Western State and Mesa College, Avery said. But it will take a lot of effort to convince students at other campuses to help out Metro, she added. "Metro is the only college (in the Consortium) that is really having problems with the enrollment cap," she said. Several efforts to raise the cap have been initiated around the campus. - The Student Organization of Human Services started petitioning on the campus last week to lift the cap.

The organization expects to get more than 10,000 signatures before the Colorado General Assembly convenes in January. -A number of posters have appeared on bulletin boards on campus encouraging students to write letters to legislators. -Faculty, student government and other organizations are scheduled to meet Nov. 13 to discuss the enrollment cap and admissions standards. The Consortium of State Colleges will meet next month to address the new admissions standards imposed at Metro for next fall. "There will be some discussions at the meetings that the admission standards are illegal," Avery said. "The standards go against the role and mission of the campus, which is to provide a baccalaureate education in an openenrollment environment. D

Eritrean Holocaust Explored Bob Haas Reporter

Genocide is a casual, common thing these days. According to Australian film makers Stephen Levitt and Fiona Douglas, the Ethiopian government is waging fullscale genocide against the people of Eritrea, the norther province of Ethiopia. Some time back, many of us thought about the importance of remembering the genocide of the Holocaust, lest it might happen again. We wondered how any civilized society could Allow such an atrocity to take place. "How could so many people have done nothing to prevent such an horror," we asked. And while we read in the newspaper about problems of Protocol in Memorium at Bitberg, Germany, we cannot quite remember our reaction to Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia. Certainly we must have had a reaction, but it"has been forgotten, slipped somewhere between pouring another fresh qup of

morning coffee and turning the page. We celebrate and debate, with astonished tongues and intellectual discussion, the 40-year anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we turn . the page again and see a bewildered boy with a bandaged stump for an arm. Genocide has been successfully waged against this Afghani child. The Soviet Army has schemed against him, has scattered toys for him to find . They are cleverly booby-trapped toys, made to .blow off the hands and arms of small children. But Afghanistan is so far away, and the politics involved so complicated, and besides we haven't read the funnies yet. We tum the page. Curiously, present horrors seem more distant than past ones. Somehow, when large-scale and horrible human aberrations are documented and made into history, our response to them is made easier. History insulates us, gives us the freedom to feel sure that, "we would have done something-had we been there." Levitt and Douglas's "Even the

Stones Are Burning" is a documentary exploring the complexities of the drought situation in Eritrea. The two film makers went to Eritrea to report on the drought and wide-spread famine. What they found was a courageous and highly organized people fighting for independence from the Ethiopian government, which uses starvation as a weapon of war. The Ethiopians encourage the outside world to believe that the disturbance in its northern province is merely civil unrest perpetrated by a few zealous rebels. "Even the Stones Are Burning" is the other side of that story. Eritrea has been an autonomous unit within Ethiopia only since the United Nations post-World War II reconstruction of peoples and national boundaries. Prior to that Eritrea was an Italian colony whose inhabitants had fought against Mussolini's invading army. The war between Eritrea and Ethiopia began in 1961, after repeated Eritrean appeals to the United Nations

This pushy little man crune into my office the other day and asked me to read his book. The lady answering our phones had misunderstood something I had said earlier about reviewing books that appear in the Auraria Book Center, and he was hopping mad that " . . . a student newspaper would not care about materials that had direct influence over students' performances in their professions." So I promised to read the book. I'm a nice person. He called me a couple of days later and asked if I had any questions. I told him that I'd read it over the weekend. On Sunday night, after reading alll ever wanted to know about Botswana in my geography text, I picked up Tom Quinlan's "Who Are You Today? A Survivors Handbook for Substitute Teachers." Doesn't that sound like a suitable nightcap for a weekend? Well, quite honestly, it was. Quinlan's little book (82 pages) is a series of short essays on how to survive, and be a successful substitute teacher-either as a full-time job or as a vehicle to a permanent position in a single school. Quinlan is an Air Force veteran described on the back of the book as a "Mustang" because he came up through the ranks from airman to captain. He attacks 44 subjects ranging from what to wear and where to park to child abuse and how to handle the issue of death. (I have always believed that military training is helpful when substitute teaching.) When I spoke with Quinlan on our

initial encounter, he said he teaches~ because he likes kids. Every time I've heard this in the past, I've always taken it to mean that the person doesn't really know what he's doing or he's brain damaged. No one in his right mind substitute teaches because he likes kids· ~ he may only see them for one day and they do everything within their little powers to undermine and wreak havoc for the "sub." However, when one reads "When ~ot to Teach," one of the chapters, -;; its easy to see that Quinlan loves children. Quinlan recounts an incident in an elementary school where he was trying to show a class how to figure miles per gallon by dividing the miles on the odometer by the gallons needed to fill the tank. A little boy looked up and9 asked if Las Vegas was more than 400 miles away (400 was the number he' was using as a base for division). His mother had run away with some "dude" to Las Vegas and he wanted to go visit her. He threw teaching out the win·'Jdow, sat down, took the boy's little hands in his and told him that adults don't always act grown up. "Who Are You Today?" is to teaching what Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" is to writing-a collection of vital information on which to build a~ career. This book is succinct, precise, and warm. So pour a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and meet a man who actually likes to substitute teach. You'll be amazed. "Who Are You Today? A Suvivor's Handbook for Substitute Teachers" is available in the Auraria Book Center for $8.95. o

went unheeded. The Eritreans complained of Ethiopian violations of democratic principles in their country, of Emperor Haile Selasse's suppression of civil rights, of his suppression of the language, of his tearing down their flag and national symbols and of his forceful annexation of their country. In 1974, the Ethiopian military staged a successful coup d'etat and declared the state ideology as socialism and later Soviet communism. By 1977, the Ethiopians were losing a war of resistance in Eritrea and in serveral other provinces. The Soviet Union and Cuba provided military support to the Ethiopians. Armed with sophisticated weaponry, the government has staged several major offensives in the last seven years, yet the war continues. The Eritreans have tenaciously held on to several completely destroyed cities; battle lines have been drawn and set. Nearly half of the 3.5 million people are homeless- refugees or living under miserable conditions in Eritrea. The Eritreans have proposed several options for peace. They have offered a ceasefire. The Ethiopians have expressed no interest in a settlement. They have apparently decided that their Soviet-supplied armly can simply bomb and starve the Eritreans into an effective, "final solution." This policy of "kill all, bum all" prompted one old and deeply wrinked woman in the film to comment that her homeland is a land where "everything is burning, where even the stones are burining." 路,.(_. The Ethiopian government allows few foreign journalists in Eritrea. It provides little information concerning the extent of the famine and allegedly uses food sent by outside nations to

feed and fuel the front lines of its army. The few trucks or camel caravans that can deliver grain run a high risk because of the constant bombings. The drought in northern Africa is a natural catastrophe. The outpouring of aid from so many countries is the required membership dues in the community of civilized societies. The famine is Eritrea is a human atrocity, created in large part by the po\jtical game-playing of a respressive regime. This atrocity spits in the face of civilized societies. This blatant political casuality of such terrible human suffering angers many. the anger is apparent in literature put out by the Eritrean Relief Committee (ERC); it is sponsoring the film's showing. The ERC is the American portion of a worldwide network raising funds and publicizing the Eritrean plight. It works closely with the Eritrean Relief Association, the only humanitarian organization with direct access to the sufferers in the war and famine areas of Eritrea. "Even the Stones Are Burning" is a compelling film. Though filled with graphic footage of destruction and starvation, the documentary is ultimately a tribute to a courageous and inventive people. The Eritrean rebels capture Russian tanks, modify them and improve their performance. The coutnry has built hospitals and pharmaceutical laboratories underground, protected from bombings. The film's overwhelming impression is positive. Gardens blooming in the desert, classrooms in dry river beds and colorfully clad nomads living the same lifestyle as their ancestors did thousands of years ago- these are powerful images of people working

470 S. Colorado Blvd.

DENVER. CO 80222 together to keep their country alive. In the film, the horrible image is offset by the breathtaking. "60-Minutes" style journalism, the film shows an Ethiopian military officer telling us that no naplam is used in the war with Eritrea. The camera moves in, focusing his face, framing his words. The film cuts immediately to an Eritrean hospital, cuts to a 10-year~old child, grotesque napalm bums glistening over half of her body. But we also see a basketball game played by one-legged men, all wounded in the war. What initially appears like the energetic bounding of a comedy troupe becomes a moving dance of human courage and adaptability. These men run and play hard. Retraining for veterans is extensive, and everyone has a role in this society that has banded so strongly together. As a nurse comments: "Only the dead lie down in .Eritrea." Indeed, among these remarkable people, only the dead can afford to, only the dead would choose to. "Even the Stones Are Burning" documents a present-day atrocity. We are easily outraged at the obscene indecency of Adolph Hitler. We willingly believe that, had we been there, we would have done "something." Here's a chance. Do something this time around. See the film. Buy the five dollar ticket and help feed hungry people . And especially learn the story and become part of it before it becomes history.

Writer says Get a Real Job ... Plumbing? Rose Jackson MetroStyle Editor

She stood, one hand cradling the microphone and the other resting on her hip. She had the comfortable roundness of a mom and the authority of a high-school English teacher. She is Joanne Greenberg, author of I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, and she spoke last Thursday about writing as a career, addressing a halffilled room on the third floor of the Student Center.

Her first advice was to get a real speech. Instead she talked on things as job-plumbing would be a good they came to mind and fielded queschoice. tions from the audience. As she talked, "I wonder if writing was ever meant she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. She was wearing thermal to be a trade like plumbing," she said. "If you want to survive as a writer, wool socks and earth sandles (Berlcinget a job and go to work in a steel mill." stocks).

thing to write about, but I ended up not needing any help with subjects." She laughed and tossed her head back. Her dangling, unicorn earrings pranced underneath her short shaggy hair. "Writing is a wonderful thing. You ca~ practice just about anywhere. I use a No. 3 pencil and lined spiral notebook. It's pretty mobile. "Pencils have erasers on the end so you can delete right away," she said, making fun of those who think they need a typewriter or word processor to write. A young woman in the audience asked Greenberg if she ever felt "inspired" to write, and if she had a special discipline. "Writing is what I do between 7 and 9 a.m. Writing, or staring at it. "The discipline issue ... expecially for women, it's too easy to say this really isn't important. Other things tend to come in front of it. But I sit myself down and say that I'm going to do it and do it for an hour-even if I know it will never sell. "Inspiration .... There are good and bad days, but they're not a difference in quality but quantity. I'm as good as I am-sometimes I feel like I'm pounding on the iron walls of my own limitations.'' Greenberg stressed the importance of not giving up. "The difference between you and me, though, is you write something and say 'it stinks,' and walk away. I write something and say it stinks and fix it up." Another young member of the audience asked if writers really need agents. "There are two reasons why writers need agents-the first , if you're like me, is that you'll give your work away if they (publishers) like it and understand it just because you're so glad that someone likes it and understands it. "I couldn't negotiate a dog funeral. "Secondly, the world of publishing is a tight and incestuous world. For about five years, I was the darling of women's magazines. I found out that one person was going from magazine to magazine and fighting for me. "When she got married and quit, I quit being the darling. "What you need in New York is someone fighting for you, and you are in no place to know who that is-th;i.t's why you need an agent." Someone asked if Greenberg's family encouraged her to write. "I have an aunt who used to ask me, 'Who the hell do you think you are? You not only have the nerve enough to think that what you think is important, you have the nerve to put it down.' "My father w9uld call what I'm doing 'telling lies for money.' he would be disappointed that I quit writing history. According to him, the best (fiction) writer is a d ead writer. "Young writers who are not encouraged by themselves won't be encouraged. Someone once asked my mom if she encouraged me, and she said 'you don't encourage Niagra Falls."' Greenberg's next book will be titled

They Did It!

Susan Brent Reporter

The MSC men's soccer team, battling subzero temperatures and a field splattered with snow and ice, beat Regis 1-0 on Monday giving MSC the NAIA District 7 Championship. The win over Regis sends MSC to the Regionals to be held this weekend in Witchita Falls, Texas. 1 th e first half of Monday's game was disappointing for both teams because each had two goals taken away due to penalties. The crowd of more than twenty people pulled their blankets closer as they waited for the action in the second half to begin. But they didn't have long to wait, because soon into the second half Dave Morgan, who plays defense, made the first and only goal of the game, and his first of the season, giving MSC the lead. After Morgan scored MSC spent !he

remainder of the game trying to hold on to their lead. Pressure mounted as the temperatures fell but MSC was able to turn their lead into a win. The ecstatic team swarmed around coach Chambers as the District 7 Championship plaque was presented~ "This is for Billy's baby," forward John Davis said smiling. Chambers wife gave birth to a girl, Jaclyn Edna Chambers-last Thursday. After the game a pleased Chambers said, "It was a whole team effort. One guy can't do it. We put out the ultimate effort to win." He pointed out the excellent playing of goalie Paul Coffey and sweeper Mike Politano. About Regis Chambers said, "We wanted to win more than they did." The team will play at Midwestern State in Witchita Falls on Friday and Saturday. If they win the Regionals they will go to the National Tournament over Thanksgiving break held in South Carolina. Wish them luck! D

Trivia Bowl Captured Pat Beckman Reporter

For the privilege of exhibiting your sports intellect, answer the following question in 60 seconds. Which of the following teams won first place in Metro's 2nd Annual Sports Trivia Bowl last Friday? A) The Mental Faculty, who escaped with last year's title. B The Pirates, whose treasure is buried deep. C)The Weasles, who weasled their way through the answers. D) The Mets, whose answers needed some ediung. E) The MSC Athletics, who needed some coaching. F) The Revenge of the Nerds, who didn't see the movie, but certainly dressed for the occasion. The contest was in its final minutes and the only two teams left were the -Pirates and the Mental Faculty. The Pirates had a 40-point lead and the Mental Faculty had to think fast. In a moment of panic, the Mental Faculty rang its buzzer and asked moderator, John Marvel, for a "who am I?" question. Each team was allowed one "who and I?" in which Marvel gave the team a series of clues about an athlete.

For double or nothing points, Marvel gave the Mental Faculty these clues: -I played for UCLA -I lost to Houston - I was a guard -I won two championships. The Mental Faculty gambled 240 points and said "Gail Goodrich." The UCLA answer was Lucious Allen. Thus, the Pirates won, leaving the Mental Faculty to walk the plank. The Pirate's team consisted of students Mike Chmill, Pat Tait and Tony Patino. The Mental Faculty team of English professor Wayne Rollings, history professor Thomas Alther,and student J.R. Smith. During the Sports Trivia Bowl, sponsored by Campus Recreation and MSC Student Activities, Marvel asked questions about every sport from college football to pro golf. · At one point, a crowd of about 200 people gathered at The Mission to relax, drink a beer and watch the bowl, said Dick Feuerborn, campus recreation director. The crowd hollered out "John Elway" as the answer to every question, no matter what the sport, Feuerborn said. "They really got into the spirit." Bytheway, who was the quarterback and one of the Horsemen of Notre Dame between 1922 and 1924?

Roadrunners Snag Second With 2 Wins

Sports Editor

The women's volleyball team trampled the University of Northern Coloado and Regis College last week to soar into second place in the Continental Divide Conference with two games left in the season.

Last Tuesday the Roadrunners struggled in five sets but finished strong to upend Regis 10-15, 15-11, 14-16, 158, 15-8. Coach Pat Johnson was pleased with the comeback and credited Sue Hays, who she nominated for player of the week, Catherine Guiles and Corrine Donnally as the main contributors. Proving that Tuesday was no fluke, MSC crunched UNC the following night 15-6, 15-13, 15-11. "Our blocking really was a dominant factor in the game. They were never able to get into their offense," Johnson said. On Friday the team ventured to Florida, where it met up with some stiff competition. The University of Tampa, which took first in the tournament, flew past Metro 15-11, 15-8, 15-5, to open things up. The Roadrunners, who finished second, came back to defeat Florida International, ranked 16th in Division II, 15-11, 15-12, 6-15, 16-14.

The MSC women's soccer team was defeated Saturday by Bloomington College in the first game of the NAIA central region semi-finals, played during a rainstorm in Bloomington, Ohio. The Roadrunners tallied 35 shots on goal to BC's 18, and spent 90 percent of

the game on the opponent's end of the field, coach Ed Montojo said. "If I had to change anything, I'd change the outcome and weather," he said. "We played one of our best games this year." Montojo said center-midfielder Kelly Winkleblack repeatedly pressured BC's goalkeeper with shots. MSC booted 17 goal attempts to

BC's 4 during the first half, but scored only once. Metro's Amy Shute scored on a rebound 32 minutes into the half. One minute later, the Roadrunners attacked again, but a shot caromed off the gpal, and BC rallied for a score before Metro could set up its defense. Montojo said this marked the game's turning point, as BC had tied the score despite being severely outplayed.

The second half the game was nip and tuck, Montojo said. But "RC scored on an out-of-bounds save that looped over goalie Dani Denight's hands. The loss ended Metro's season, dropping the team's record to 13-5-1the best the team has ever posted. Montojo is optimistic about next season and said he will try to convince the best" local high-school players to attend Metro. D

versity to five sets before succumbing 15-13, 4-15, 16-14, 11-15, 6-15. "We almost had that match in our pocket," Johnson said. "The teams were evenly matched." Corrine Donnally, a freshman, was named to the all-tournament team because of her outstanding all-around play, Johnson said. Sue Hays, the senior captain of the team, was named Continental Divide Conference player of the week, last week, for her strong leadership in the victories over Regis and UNC. The Roadrunners are now 28-16 overall and 9-3 in the conference heading into its last two games. The women play Denver University Wednesday and Eastern Montana College Friday.
