The close of the 3.2 bar in the Mercantile Restaurant in December due to its insurance companies' refusal to insure for liquor liability has posed several questions concerning the future of the Mission. According to Gary McManus, director of the Student Center, the Mission will continue to serve 3.2 beer. Since the liquor license for the Mission is held by the state of Colorado, the bar's liquor liability policy is part of the

state's new self-insurance plan. This doesn't mean precautions won't be taken to limit the chances of the Mission being confronted with a liquor liability lawsuit. The Student Facilities Policy Council (SFPC) is currently studying changes in the Mission's atmosphere and alcohol policies to lessen the risk of students leaving too intoxicated to drive. "We've discussed a few things,'' McManus said. "Raisin~ the lighting, checking more I.D.s ... We talked about not serving pitchers, but the students disagreed with that." Barb Brown, institutional representative to the SFPC, said, "We suggested hiring a waitress for the Mission. That way, the waitress can better control the problem of underage drinkcontinued on page 5

Student Seeks Answer To Library Frustration Dear Editor, Where are our books? In doing research in our campus library, I have found a lot of missing books that are listed on the computer as being in the stacks. Recently I have noticed a lot of tracers for missing books and am sick and tired of running all over town to find books in other •nstitutions such as DU or CU-Boulder. Why does the library not publicize a two-day special and allow students to tum in these missing books for free? Let's get the books back on the shelves in the library and off those dusty
neglected bookshelves of home/II A concerned student The Metropolitan received this letter Jan.16.

The feelings of uncertainty for students registering in colleges this semester across the state almost ended Jan. 10 when the Colorado Commission on Higher Education reviewed the cap on enrollment. Edmond Noel, CCHE commissioner, proposed that beginning Fall 1986, colleges would no longer be assessed a penalty when they exceeded their enrollment limit. Metro State's enrollment limit for the 198.5-86 school year is 10,2.57. Noel's proposal was defeated by a vote of 4 to 5, keeping the cap that was agreed to by CCHE in its last meeting in December. The cap, which was agreed on two months ago, places a penalty of 150 percent of revenue for each student that exceeds the limit placed on state colleges to better manage their budgets. "As it stands now, the cap is scheduled to stay in effect until 1989," said Mark Chisholm, CCHE director of information and management. "We are certain that the 150 percent penalty for schools will be all the encouragement a school needs to better manage their finances," he said. Chisholm did admit that the debate and anger over the cap issue is far from finished. "The controversy around the cap and the enrollment issue will be around for a while," he said. Other action taken by the CCHE at the Jan. 10 meeting included the program discontinuance policy which will attempt to phase-out degree programs that are considered unnecessarily duplicative and produce few graduates. Prognuns that will be examined during 1986 include, Education, Business and Management, Business and Office, Marketing and Distribution, Computer and Information Sciences, Engineering, Psychology and .S ocial Sciences. continued on pag., S
