Professor Claims Students Don't Like 'Metro' Jim Manuel Reporter

An overwhelming majority of Metro students favor changing the school's name to Denver State College, according to a study done by Allen Freeman, professor of Geography at MSC. Out of 253 students polled, 64 percent said they favored the name change compared to 14 percent who were opposed to changing the name. Slightly .more than 20 percent said they were undecided.

The study also attempted to get the reaction of the faculty and staff of the school.

The faculty opinion is split almost in the middle with 41 percent favoring a name change and 38 percent opposed

Freeman says name must be changed for better identity while 21 percent were undecided.

The staff of the school showed the strongest opposition with 57 percent opposed to the name change and only 24 percent favoring it.

Freeman said the study clearly shows that the people who have the most to gain by the name change - the students - are those who favor it.

"They are the ones who must say they graduated from the school. That is something they will carry with them for the rest of their lives," he said.

Freeman told about a former student

who, interviewing for a job on the east coast, was asked by the prospective employer if Metro was a four-year school.

Freeman said a name like Denver State would solve that kind of problem.

"Metro is not a bad name in itself, but it doesn't connotate the quality of the institution," he said.

"Metropolitan State as a name is too localized. It's familiar only to regional residents and doesn't say where the school is located.

"The city of Denver and the state of

Colorado both connotate quality throughout the country. Metro should try and identify itself with the state and the city."

The biggest reason Fre~man has heard for opposing the name change is the cost involved.

"What cost? The only cost I can think of is changing the school's stationery. This could be overcome with some reasonable purchasing plans. This is an unsound reason. The benefits outweigh the problems.

"If the students were aware of all the pros and cons of ~hanging the name I'm sure they would support it," he said. "With enough student support the change could be made. This is an opportunity for the students to make a change that will effect them the rest of their lives."

Metro's prehistoric era is quietly coming to an end, an end more noticeable with the retirement of one of the college's founders, Curtis Wright, vice president for Business and Finance.

Wright refers to himself as the "last of the dinosaurs," saying, "I started two weeks after the bill putting us (MSC) in motion was passed. I was either the second or third employee of Metro."

Not surprisingly, Wright said his greatest contribution to Metro was as a stabilizing force for the first 20 years.

Wright describes his services as survival.

Looking forward to retiring, Wright plans to take at least six months off to "stop and smell the flowers."

"Much of my personal life was put on hold during my interim presidency and I've never quite caught up. But I go away with so many good memories and good feelings," said Wright.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONAThe Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association - comprising college papers in the 14 states along the Rocky Mountian range - held its 1986 convention here and honored the staff of The Metropolitan with more first place awards in the top division than any other school and named Rose Jackson, news editor, Journalist of The Year.

The Metropolitan staff members won 13 awards eight of them were first place.

The RMCPA has two types of competition. One is a live writing contest which puts student journalists in a news gathering situation on deadline. The best live writing performance -this year by Jackson - earns the Journalist of The Year title.

The second category is the canned competition in which college papers from the region enter work in different categories to be judged by professional journalists.

The Metropolitan competes in the highest division of the RMCPA against college papers with a circulation of 10,000 or more at four-year schools in the region.

ON CAMPUS Drop-out Rate Tied to Parental Divorces

Jessica Snyder Gainsville, FL (CPS)

..

It's 8 p.m. on a Thursday evening, and Graham, an engineering student at the University of Florida, struggles to absorb even a page of his book on Digital Communication Systems.

The text is clear enough, but Graham's mind is 200 miles away- worrying about his mother and how she will pay her bills, wondering if his father will ever speak to him again.

Graham's parents are getting divorced, and instead of studying, he just wants to scream.

Graham's not alone. Parental divorce is a disturbingly frequent reason students drop out of college, says Susan Hambleton, who's earning her doctorate in counseling education at the University of Florida.

"They may not directly say Tm leaving school because my parents are divorcing,' but along with divorce you find a lot of extenuating circumstances - the financial, emotional and relocation stress that goes along with divorce," she says.

Hambleton, in fact, is finding that divorce - normally studied for its effects on young children - can have a great impact on college students.

College-aged children of divorcees, Hambleton says, may develop an inability to develop loving relationships of their own.

"The impact (of their parents' divorce) may be 'whom can I trust?'"

Hambleton has formed a support group at the UF Student Health Services clinic to help students caught in the emotional whirlwind surrounding a family breakup.

"I don't think people really recognize the needs college students have in a divorce," she says. "They assume that since they're older, they can handle it."

Students going through a parental breakup often feel they need to go home to "take care of things," Hambleton says. "Sometimes they get really distracted, particularly if they're far away from home."

Graham, for instance, feels pressured to find a high-paying job to help his mother, who's retired and can expect little from her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Though he plans to finish this school

year, his last semester of a five-year degree, Graham says his plans for graduate school are dead.

Students in Hambleton's group their names are changed for privacy -are in many different stages of family breakup, from impending divorce to 10 years after.

On the Friday before spring break, the support group gathered in her office for the sixth time.

While many at the university had already packed their bags for home, anticipating a week of thoughtless relaxation, mom cooking dinner and perhaps a holiday family get-together, the mood in the health clinic office bordered on anxiety.

'Tm feeling pressure from both sides," says Regina, 18. "My father asked me to come visit him. But I'm going home to see my mom. It feels funny.''

Regina's parents divorced 10 years ago, yet parental divorce can be "like a pill that takes a few years to come out in your body," says Steven, 24, whose family split up two years ago - for the third time.

Like many in the group, Steven and Regina say they're just now feeling the repercussions - feelings of anger, insecurity and guilt - of their family breakups.

Steven says he feels a heavy sense of responsibility today, "like I have to be the knight in shining armor" who over Easter somehow must solve the conflict that has scattered a family of five brothers, three fathers and a mother.

Yet sharing their stories in the group, the students agree, helps. " 'Let me know what I'm feeling is okay,' is what they want to hear," says Hambleton. "Their friends say, just forget about it,' But they can't."

"You can't shove (the problem) in a box and make it go away," Graham testifies.

Graham, a25-year-old senior, expects his parents' final court hearing in two weeks. And besides affecting his studies, the divorce mau be ruining his relationship with a long-time girlfriend.

"I know my parents' divorce has a lot to do with it," he says. 'The minute (my girlfriend) brought up marriage, I wanted out.

"It's left a real bad taste in my mouth

about that little piece of paper."

Because forming relationships is so important - and scary - for young adults, the disillusionment that follows parental breakup may be the most serious problem faced by such students, Hambleton says.

"Whenever we meet, we usually end up discussing relationships how they feel about getting involved with people," she says.

"They want to know 'how can I guarantee this won't happen to me.' "

Instead of guarantees or promises, Hambleton offers a safe place for students to share their feelings and receive support, sometimes suggestions of a better way to deal with family and friends.

She's heard of no other divorce support groups for college students, but would like to.

"This is a problem affecting students academically," she says. "And so, I think it's a responsibility of a university to help." o

Military is Big Winner at Aviation Career Day Nancy Jarrell Reporter

The landscape disappeared beneath white mushrooming smoke, caught in the hectic porn, porn, porn of impacting warheads dropped from fighter planes that streaked across the sky well, across the video screen anyway.

Representatives from the military and from private industry lined the walls of Student Center classroom 330, gladhanding possib~e recruits and displaying a variety of pamphlets and video shows, each depicting the adventures of an aviator.

The displays and recruiters constituted Aviation Careers Day, March 18. an event sponsored by the Metro State Flying Team and the MSC chapter of Alpha Eta Rho, a professional aviation fraternity.

Page 3

Before the day was over about 3,000 students trooped through the hall to see what aviation might have to offer them.

At a time when many fields are overcrowded, aviation is one area where there's plenty of opportunity, said Jeff McElhaney, president of Alpha Eta Rho. "More people are being hired in aviation than in any other industry,

whether as pilots or in other areas likefinance or management," he said.

Two factors make the aviation industry a good job market right now, McElhaney said. First, there's been a proliferation of airlines. And second, many of the pilots and crew members who have filled the job ranks in both the military and private airlines are men trained during World War II and are now retiring.

Private industry is also adding to the drain on military ranks, he said, by hiring flight personnel away at higher wages. But at Careers Day, the military, represented in spirt-and-polish splendor, was definitely the glamour employer.

Coveys of future fliers migrate to the military booth. An Air Force recruiter reminds a departing student "as soon as you're within a month of graduation call me."

Atthe Marine Corps booth arecruiter in dress blue reaches out to prospects under a banner that declares him a part of the "cutting edge."

And at the Navy booth students are invited to "lead the adventure."

When asked what he intends to do upon graduation, McElhaney replied, "Oh, I'm going into the U.S. Navy on June 8th."

ON CAMPUS Denver City · Council Passes Bill to Give Auraria Cable. Access Robert Mook Reporter

Denver City Council members recently passed a bill that will enable Auraria studios to distribute campusoriented programming to Denver residents through a cable-access line.

Patricia Breivik, director of the Auraria Library and Media Center, said the cable will be placed in the Media Center's studios.

Mile Hi Cablevision will provide the "reverse-line extension" that will allow the campus to originate, as well as receive, programming.

With the reverse-line extension, programming that originates at the Auraria campus studios could be broadcast though Channel 31, the Higher Education Public Access channel on the Denver cable television system.

Programming such as seminars, concerts, theater, festivals and lectures can be broadcast.

Breivek said no obligation to provide cable access previously existed between Denver, Mile Hi and Auraria.

"Mile Hi made no promises other than providing the city with two public-access channels," she said.

Before the cable can be installed,

TODAY 7th ANNUAL

IRISH

DEBATE SERIES

Auraria must coordinate an agreement with the West Side Community Center that is deemed satisfactory by the City Council by Jan. 6, 1987.

Ben Boltz, telecommunications director of MSC's student government, said the cable was contracted by the city and Mile Hi Cablevision to be placed in the West Side Community Center at 1212 Mariposa St. "But they (the community center) found they couldn't have a studio in the community center because of renovations in the center," Boltz said.

Instead, Jeanie Sandoval, executive director of the community center, requested a renegotiation between Mile Hi Cablevision, the West Side and the city council.

Sandoval suggested that there should be an alternate location for the studio.

William Bradley, director of the Denver Cable TV Coordinating Committee, wrote a report to the council saying the community center had many problems and Mile Hi should relocate the access studio to the Aurari~ campus.

Taking advantage of the suggestion, Glendon Drake, chancellor of UCD, Paul Magelli, president of MSC, and other Auraria campus officials wrote Denver City Council President Robert Crider a letter approving such a move.

City Council Bill 102 was drafted as a response to the suggestions. The bill names the Auraria Media Center the new access studio and allows the community center to have equal access to the facility.

The bill was considered unsatisfactory to West Side coordinators who said Auraria is not accessible to the members of the organization.

Sandoval cited community intimidation and campus inaccessibility as the main concerns of those opposed to the campus location.

MSC Student Debaters

"The city within a city itself of the Auraria Campus is an intimidating factor to the people who will be using the access studio," Sandoval said.

Parking difficulties at the campus were also a consideration.

Regardless of the concerns, Bill 102 was passed on March 3, under the condition that Auraria and West Side negotiate a satisfactory agreement by Jan. 6, 1987. H an agreement isn't reached by that date, the reverse-line path will go to the Jewish Community Center.

Boltz said many negotiations are underway to make Auraria more appealing to the "West Siders."

"The student government is trying to find a way to provide accessible parking to those who will be using the studio," Boltz said.

On Mondays and Tuesdays since spring, 1979 men and women interested and believing in the campus scene have been - first at St. Francis Center and now in the Student Center Lobby - talking and laughing, listening and responding to anyone who happens by. There always is some fresh fruit and pounds of unshelled peanuts for munching as conversation proceeds.

THE LISTENING POST's seven years will be celebrated with cake and candles on Monday, April 7, in the SC Lobby. The invitation is open to all Aurarians. Cake will be served from 12:30 to 4 p.m.

Auraria's LISTENING POST was the first, but good ideas have a way of spreading. Now 40 POSTS are scattered on campuses across the country, including the University of Wisconsin and John Hopkins University.

THE LISTENINGPOST's designer/ author is Mabel Barth, educational consultant, a Denver transplant from West Virginia. She has put the POST concept into handbook form, which has sold in 44 states and a couple of foreign countries. "'That's because the POST idea meets our common human need to have someone listen, respond, care and celebrate with us," she says.

'That's what she and Stan Winstanley, Joyce Breyer and Jack Mackey do on Mondays and Tuesdays: they listen.

OPINION Teacher Claims Magel Ii Quoted Out of Editor: As a faculty member of the SAB board, I would like to comment on the "quotes" attributed to Dr. Magelli during the SAB meeting of March 5. Unlike Ms Norsworthy and Professor Pearson who wrote comments in response to a student reporter's column covering this meeting (the same reporter who in retrospect stated in the March 19 issue of The Metropolitan "it is diffecult to be absolutely certain what the speakers said"), I was at the meeting. I heard the comments, but more importantly, I am aware of the context in which the comments were made.

First, it should be understood that Dr. Magelli was invited by the student members of the SAB to come and share his veiws about future student activity programming at MSC. Shortly after Dr. Magelli began speaking of the wide range of programming possiblilities that are available to an urban campus like MSC, the conversation shifted to his concern over Metro's image in the Denver Community. This concern wa~ elucidated by reference to two surveys and one discussion which recently had been conducted. One research survey completed under Dr. Cooper's direction indicated that Metro graduates were not highly respected by corporations in the Denver metro area. These findings had been presented the day before at an all-school meeting in ST. Cajetan's.

In response to this information, a female student tried to refute the findings of the survey by citing the respect MSC accounting majors have in the Denver business community. It was during this conversation of how Metro is perceived outside our campus boundries that the now famous "finger-counting" incident occured. The context of this action was merely to emphasize that the Denver community did view some programs as excellent but that the majority of excellent programming at Metro was not recognized in the business arena.

Metro simply does not enjoy an image of overall excellence in Denver. Can you really disagree with that conclusion in light ot the Sundel and Cooper researcn findings?

In following this line of concern regarding our academic image, Dr. Magelli spoke also to his concern for how high school guidance counselors present our school to their graduating seniors. It was during a recent discussion with these counselors while they were visiting our campus that Dr. Magelli discovered their bias about our educational quality. Dr. Magelli relayed their bias to the SAB as 1) they sent their best students to Eastern schools 2) the next level to Boulder or the University of Denver 3) the third group to CSU or UNC and 4) if anyone in the lower academic level wanted to go to college, MSC was the recommendation.

Dr. Magelli did not say MSC students are not intelligent nor of a high caliber.

What he said was the counselors were admitting to not recommending Metro to their brightest students.

As for comments that Dr. Magelli is "pledging" money for sororities, fraternities, and residence halls (as stated by Norsworthy, The Metropolitan, March 19), that is a shear distortion of what was said. The truth is the conversation had shifted to how MSC might change given the restrictions of a cap and new academic admission standards. Any mention of these entities was in the context of who knows how the campus might change and what a new, younger student body may be interested in.

Who Makes the Decisions?

Editor: If Darwin were alive today surely he would be in the midst of a long study of the evolutionary process known as Metropolitan State College.

As an urban campus MSC was designed and established to meet the educational needs of the diverse population it would serve.- A by-product of this philosophy has been continual change of programs, policies and requirements which affect our daily education. As a result many of us are realizing the importance of student and faculty representation.

Most of the issues that either face Metro/Auraria or decisions changing it internally (ie. Academics, Athletics, Financial Aid) are determined by boards and or committees. Due to democracy and certain state statutes, all those who are affected have the right to be heard/represented on each and every issue.

For example, how many of us had an opinion on enrollment caps? Who knew how to make the opinion count? How many of us know that Student Activity fees are about to increase by as much as $23? How many of us get any benefit whatsoever out of student fees? How many of us know what benefits there are from our student fees? Who's satisfied with their curriculum, who isn't? Who needs more financial aid? Who knows how to get more financial aid? Who wants to attend a university called Auraria? Who wants to attend a college called Metro State?

All of these questions and hundreds of more Hke them have and are currently open for discussion. There are students representing our views and concerns; conveying them to those who make the final decisions; whether they know what we want or not.

As a microcosm of our society we should be willing to utilize our rights and be heard on the ecucational issues that affect our futures and the futures of those to come.

Joseph DeLeo MSC Student

C~ontext

I can only conclude by saying that this gathering was a highly charged "meeting of the minds". Dr. Magelli never discredited MSC during the discussion but rather raised concerns and questions about the future direction student activities should take, as well as suggesting a wide range of cultural events that could be made available to our student body but are presently absent from campus life experiences. The unfortunate realization for me during this meeting was not Dr. Magelli's comments, but the consistently expressed view of the students that they didn't need "cultural activities". Instead, they wanted a "cheap education'', a bare-bones experience. As Dr. Magelli stated, stringing together 30 odd courses does not make an educated person prepared to successfully compete in the market place, especially against individuals from schools which offer a greater breath and depth of higher educational experiences.

H this is truly all our students want from a college experience, then we will become little more than a technical training institution. I believe in higher education that improves the human condition - of our students and the community in which they live and we co-exist. To me, these student's attitudes only help to foster an image of Metro as a "cheap" educational institution in every sense of the word and prevent MSC from offering an excellent total college experience.

Finally, I hope the next time these issues arise, people will ask the important question about the message, that is its context, rather than immediately trying to sacrifice the messenger.

Al I the Elements are Here Dear President Magelli, I have been listening for some time to your view of Metro's "non-traditional" student body but after hearing your determination that Metro's students "are not the best" I have to stop listening and start speaking. I will start by setting aside the personal insult I regard this to be. Instead I will tell you what I see when I look around Metro.

I see a campus rich in diversity. The students come here from all over the world. They come with the uninhibited enthusiasm of the young. They come with a variety of life experiences. They come with goals and dreams. They are the mothers who have had to wait their turn to get an education while the children grow up. They are the young who have no place waiting for them in the family's network of friends and business associates. They will hammer out their places in the sun with hard work and they will earn their success. Together or alone they are the best any college deserves. I am proud to be in their company.

What the students deserve is a college that recognizes their special talents and rewards their uniqueness. Not a college which would squeeze them into carefully measured compartments labeled "traditional." There are plenty of schools here in Colorado and around the country to meet those needs. Metro should be a school as special as the people who knock on its doors, doors that should remain open to any and all. They have built castles in the sky; they look to you, Dr. Magelli, to help them put foundations under them. Yes, we must raise the academic standards of Metro. They should be at least equal to the talents of the students.

As long as I have the floor, I would praise the efforts of those teachers who work hard and give their best in spite of the frustration of working within a system that is often deaf to their needs. And I would lament the loss of teachers who could not find a way to grow in this system. Without them, the best of students can only fumble and grope their way toward the light.

All the elements to make Metro a great school are already here. We do not need sororities and fraternities, basketball teams and all the other earmarks of a "traditional" college to make Metro a great school. We need a president who can recognize greatness where it exists and provide energetic and cohesive leadership.

Apathy Explodes Into Informational Wasteland Bob Haas

stepping on caterpillars

I squirmed against the crowd in the library. I had waited, jammed into impatient humanity, for the last 13 hours. I felt my bowels rumble. Things weren't looking to improve. Nothing was moving. We weren't getting any closer.

There had to be another way to find out.

And then it hit me, a quick thought, a fleeting image. The kiosk at the edge of campus. The information kiosk.

I pushed through the crowd - vicious, mad, a soul with a purpose. I pushed toward the doors - outside, fresh air. Hundreds were still streaming excited toward the library. 路 I began to run. , Running against the human stream, I thought of the kiosk - of the flyers waiting to be read. There hadn't been a fresh newspaper in the library for three weeks, yet the health clinic was still inundated with injuries suffered from over zealous efforts to read last week's news.

If I could only get to the kiosk, I could read something. Club notices, community happenings, even a CoPIRG thing. It didn't matter. I could read. I could find out.

I ran past the T.V. lounge, stopped, caught my breath. Dan Rather was doing another telethon. The network was trying to give away a n_ew house with a swimming pool and a speedboat.

No one called in to claim the prize. No one could answer the 6:00 pm trivia question. No one had been watching.

I started running again.

I felt the despair even before I rounded the last comer. Hundreds were still

gathered about, mourning the splintered kiosk. There wasn't a shred of paper left. No roommate wanted to he found.

I gave it up, sat down on the curb, forehead on forearms.

I couldn't find out. I couldn't read.

The burn of not knowing began to build into a rage. If I couldn't read then I wouldn't know. If I didn't know then I wouldn't care. If I didn't care then nothing mattered.

There was no way to find out, there was nothing to read. Damn Guttenberg and his movable type. Revolutions may have erupted over access to it, but it couldn't help me now.

All was lost.

And then, under the staked evergreen, I saw it. A crumpled page of newsprint.

I couldn't discern from which of the many weekly tabloids it came, but I didn't care. It was information. It was access to involvement. It was a glorious inkstained path toward knowing.

It was newspaper.

The next moments were critical. I had to control myself. I had to be nonchalant, or I would loose it, and probably get mangled in the process.

I had to be calm.

Walking away, I tried whistling, concentrated on a leisurely pace. I kept my arms clutched to my abdomen, clutched around the stashed newspage.

Finally, I couldn't stand it, I couldn'twait any longer. I dodged behind a trash dumpster, crouched into the shadows. My heart raced. An entire page!

There was a personal ad: "Bongo to Sugarplumpkin - Remember Saturday Night?" I felt a lump, a warmth.

I folded and pocketed the parchment prize and headed for home.

I bounded forth in relaxed ecstasy. I hadn't enjoyed the john in months. D

Information Specialist Aids President Magel Ii An Open Letter to Greg Pearson and Abigail Norsworthy: Professor Pearson, there is indeed "a mistake in all this hurtful drivel" about President Magelli's remarks to the Student Affairs Board and it is primarily your own.

Certainly you are proud of the very able journalists you have turned out of your program. But that pride should not prevent you from using a funda,mental fourth estate fact-finding form: the confirming phone call. Had you called the President after reading The Metropolitan article and said, "Say it isn't so, Paul, say it isn't sol" you would have indeed learned it wasn't.

You would have learned that the President meant there were four generally recognized peaks of excellence - and that one of his chief goals is to see all of the College's 86 programs similarly recognized.

You would have learned that the President knows the College's overall value in America's higher education equation - and that he is actively seeking to explain that value to the community.

And you would have learned that the President is proud of this college - and would like nothing better than to lead it into the next century, a century which will see today's "non-traditional students" become standard fare for every college and university in this land.

But yoq chose instead to ignore your own teachings and indulge in your anger, which required you to assume your impression of second-hand information was correct.

In so doing, you overlooked the fact that, while your journalism students may be among America's best, they are still students, not professional journalists. As such, they are more likely than experienced journalists to make errors - and we know experienced journalists do err.

In so doing, you violated your own standards of excellence, courtesy, and common sense.

In so doing, you committed the journalistic sin of unfairness, unfairness to a man who gives more of his heart and soul to this college than any of the dedicated, committed people who make up the Metropolitan State family.

And because your oversights, your violations and your sins were made publicly, the apology you owe the President should also be made publicly.

Ms. Norsworhty, you are correct; the President does not know as much about the College as he could. That's because the demands on his time and personal energy are so extreme that he hardly sees his wife, much less the College's 86 department chairs, its hundreds of faculty or its thousands of students.

There's another reason, too. As Chris Dahle mentioned in his letter, "we know we have 86 excellent programs, but nobody else does." In every nook and cranny of this college there is educational excellence. Among those who partake of this excellence there is appreciation and even reverence for what they have learned.

But this excellence is underground. The public is not aware of the College's uniform academic quality; neither, for that matter, are many academic leaders.

This is what academic strategist George Keller talks about in the current issue of Metropolitan Magazine when he calls the college "so wonderfully enmeshedlike the Viet Cong almost-with its community." And this is perhaps why even our college's president has yet to understand completely just how good we are.

As to your "suggestion" that the president "remain keenly aware that none of (his predecessors) outlasted the culture of Metro:" I would say they were not so much outlasted by the College's culture as sickened by the part of it which is ... ..: .... -

...

reactionary and anti-intellectual. As Robert Frost says, "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."

Judging from your own performances on the letters page, you and Professor Pearson still have some learning to do.

Jeans Test H~mophobia Editor: Blue jeans, the uniform of MSC students, take on a new significance on the Auraria campus Thursday, April 10. Students and faculty are being asked to wear blue jeans on Wednesday if they support gay rights.

Students are going to have to make a conscious decision on what they are going to wear. Many non-gay people will experience some consciousness-raising when wearing their blue jeans Wednesday as they realize the homophobic reactions of their peers. 路 The reluctance most people will have at wearing blue jeans shows that discrimination against gay men and lesbians is very real. Until laws are passed guarenteeing civil rights for gays, homosexuals will continue to fear losing their jobs, being kicked out of their apartments, being denied use of public accomodations, and losing custody of their children. The passage of these laws are important to all lesbians and gay men and to anyone concerned with human rights.

A Rolling Success

Trolley Drives Cantpu.s In. to Collllllu.n.i ty Bob Autobee Reporter

Metro State has taken its lumps recently as a college suffering with an identity problem and little school spirit, but every 15 minutes this image is runover when the Auraria trolley pulls up outside the Student Center.

In the time the trolley has been in operation, it has become a greater catalyst than basketball, the hallway crush between classes and the Mission for bringing Metro students together.

Randy Ready, transportation coordinator of Auraria parking and transportation services, says that the number of people who use the trolley is up from 650to l ,200in the past year. Currently, threered and gold laminate wood trolleys and one generic school bus service the Mile High Stadium parkers.

"The only complaint we've had about the trolley is that it doesn't run in the evening hours past 6 o'clock," Ready said.

Well, if the trolley is such a bellringing success, the man (or woman) who drives this four-wheel piece of pre-fab nostalgia must have the greatest job on campus next to the person who gets to take student fees to the bank the day after registration.

"It's a job," says Bill Steinmeyer, "and you try to make the best of it."

Steinmeyer, 21, is one of the three drivers who drive 36 trips a day between the Student Center and Mile High Stadium. His Alan Shephard buzz cut, clear blue eyes and battleship gray Eisenhower jacket make him look like a motorman who is all business. But

after two years on the job, Steinmeyer hasn't succumbed to streetcar shock - he still enjoys his work.

"It helps to have people to talk to.

You get to know a lot of people on sight and you talk to them when they come on the trolley,'' Steinmeyer said.

It also helps to make your own fun.

"A couple of Friday's ago I brought in a Frank Sinatra tape, and we had everybody singing "New York, New York." Later on in the day I was trying to get everybody who came in to learn the words to "My Way," Steinmeyer said as he turned the trolley to get onto the Valley Highway. "Things like that help the day to pass by."

On a melancholy Wednesday before spring break, the trolley passengers were too wrapped up in their own lives to sing saloon songs with Sinatra. Midterms, the weather or the need to be left alone made this a pretty quiet bunch. But every so often, a buddy of Steinmeyer would come in and break up the silence.

"Ask Bill about the wild times on the trolley,'' asks John, a bulky trolley groupie who is all hair and eyebrows.

Okay, Bill, what about the .wild times on the trolley?

"We don't have any wild times on the trolley," Steinmeyer said, keeping one eye on the road, "the wildest time I ever had was when some girls got upset and almost cried when we had to check for Auraria l.D.'s to let them on."

The route that Steinmeyer makes during his nine-hour shift isn't that action-packed either. Pulling away from the quiet line of students and the

Trolleyman Bill Steinmeyer random sqwak-sqwak of the m1m路 bank machines at the student center, the trolley turns out on to Larimer dodging construction workers as they survey the overpass. The trolley then bounces along past the twisted steel and smoky desolation of the Atlas Metal and Scrapheap ("They can take a boxcar in the morning, crush it, and there won't be anything left a couple hours after," Steinmeyer said). From there the trolley jumps in and out of ruts down the Valley Highway to the mid-point of the run, the South parking lot of Mile High Stadium. It takes Steinmeyer about six minutes to make the return trip.

Students with backpacks jump off and some have the courtesy to turn

Photos by Darr

around and say "Thanks for the ride" before hopping off. Steinmeyer acknowledges them as he marks on a clipboard the number of people who made that last trip with him.

"Driving the trolley isn't so bad," Steinmeyer said, "you never know what's gonna happen when you get to talking with someone when they come on board." 路 Steinmeyer eases out the brake to start another run, but slams down hard when he looks in his rear-view mirror.

Two people are running after the trolley.

"You don't want to leave anybody behind in this job, because you don't know what they're going to be like when you get back around.''

Paper Staff Makes Good/1rom page Robert Davis Editor

One of my greatest character flaws is not telling people they're doing a good job.

It's a terrible weakness for a manager to have.

For a long time I've wanted to tell some people they're wonderful but I've wasted time looking for a BIG EXCUSE. That was really dumb. (Doing dumb things is one of my hobbies.)

Well, now it's time.

Many have told us not to blow our own horns.

"Why a picture of Bob Haas with his column isn't that self-serving?"

We don't think so. Bob is a champion writer and we think you may want to know what he looks like. If not, tell us. Bob would love to know. He hates the picture.

But we've experimented with lots of things in search of the readable newspaper. We want to give the readers the best possible product. The only way we can do that, we feel, is to try a little bit of everything and then improve on what we do.

That means the staff has been forced to become very analytical and, in turn, very cynical towards their work. They've made a commitment to be the best.

We're not the best. If we stayed together for another year I'm certain we would be. But we've come as close as any in one year together - I'm proud of that.

And when previous editors stop by to see how

the old Met is they say all kinds of strange things.

Sal Ruibal, editor of the Rocky Mountian Business J oumal, says it 'breaks his heart to see The Metropolitan looking this way.'

Sorry Sal. Brian Coffey-Weber, a reporter for the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph, dropped a load when he heard that each editor ran his own section.

We appreciate any feedback we can get and certainly both h~ve every right to comment. They put as much hard work, blood, sweat and fears into this paper as anybody. But they're also from a time when they did all the work. If it didn't pass their inspection, it didn't go out.

We feel that's too restricting.

Actually we felt it was choking much of the creativity out of this paper. One person, or two, can't put out a paper and be creative at the same time - not creative enough.

That's why this is a winning team. This staff is bright, hard-working and devoted to the reader.

They've become reader conscious and they refuse to settle for less than perfect. (Obviously they're not very settled.)

On occasion we've strayed too far into the experimental areas. In search of a more readable story we found that Bob Smith's account of the Legislative Symposium was absolutely accurate but presented in an unpalatable and editorial form.

Although the event was a 'wretched waste indeed,' we had no right (nor intention) to tell anyone what to do.

who bloom in our midst, Robert has fled for a real job and real money. He's working for US West Direct so you can look for his work in future yellow pages. Now that's circulation.

Robert Davis Editor

<'. -

That slipped by the editors and that is terrible.

But, if it helps at all, we learned one of our best lessons from it. That probably doesn't help, but you need to know it.

Those lessons are exactly why each editor is in charge of his section. If I were to learn all the lessons by myself I would certainly be better for it. But our system allows the key staff members to feel the responsibility and the pain of mistakes.

To look at our mistakes sitting out on the stands across the campus for seven days, like my unique spelling of commitment on the front·page, makes for a learning experience matched by no other.

Have I finished without saying what I wanted to say?

Not yet.

These people have been a blessing to me. When I set out to put together a staff last summer I found that none of them had worked full-time at the paper. We had our work cut out for us. We were starting from scratch.

Most of the staff made the commitment to stay on after seeing the tough road ahead of them. A few didn't. But they're no less important to the success of this year than anyone else because we learned from them too.

But those who stayed have been through hell.

They've lost a lot of sleep and they've taken some hard knocks. But they've endured and powered through to be (look out Sal and all the rest of you broken hearted Metsters) possibly the best staff in the history of The Metropolitan.

I can say that, see, I got the keys.

Bob Haas MetroStyle Co-Editor

Robert Selman Illustrator Robert Selman is the only staff member we all knew would be an award winner.

We felt confident going into the competition but we knew of only one person who would surely win - Robert Selman.

In the last two years Robert has blossomed into a fine illustrator with works for last year's Viet Nam anniversery issues, this year's Gay Profs on Campus story (which took second place in this year's Columbia Journalism School's national competition for illustration) and his superb portrayal of the catastrophic possibilties of the nuclear arms race.

He took first place for Illustration at RMCPA for his nuclear illustration.

Bob Davis took a first place for Page Layout and Design for the ACT Prime Solution to the Parking Problem spread last year.

The page design used Davis' story on the ACT with a campus map and an aerial photo spanning Mile High Stadium to downtown and showed the route of the proposed monorail.

"An important issue," the judges said. "The layout makes it more so."

Bob Haas took first place for Critical Review with his piece on "The Petrified Forest," last October.

Bob put the reader in the theater and in the story: "Gabby Maple (Robynn Rodriguez) is the owner's daughter. She serves pie and coffee, quietly baking dreams of jeining her mother in France.

She paints pictures that go unseen and would be unappreciated by the desert rats she lives around," Bob wrote. " ... The violent destruction of the set in the final shoot-out

between Mantee's gang and local good-ol'-boy deputies is a powerful spectacle. Chairs and tables lie scattered along side dreams and fresh starts."

Wonderful.

But that's what we expect from Bob. You see, he's a wordsmith.

Lise Geurkink Art Director In the Single Ad Design competition Lise Geurkink took second place for the Music Spectrum ad she designed last December.

David Colson Page Layout and Design Honorable Mention

Kevin Vaughan, who taught us everything he knows (it was a short class) as editor last year, won first place for his heart-felt editorial this year in response to the trustees asking Metro to impose admission requirements.

Kevin faced off with the trustees and let them have it.

The emotional response he sent to the governing board, coupled with his outstanding writing abilities, gave the piece the type of charge that was needed to bring about change.

"The admission standards could be the first step in undoing what Metropolitan State has stood for since 1963 and making us just another fouryear institution," he wrote. " . . . Forget about the working mothers who aren't going to be able to commit to classes three months ahead of time, as they11 have to do to ensure themselves of places on MSC's roster - send them home.

"To hell with the students who will be turned away Metro is now a better institution."

Kevin is an accomplished writer who put out a fine paper last year and we're proud he's contributed to our efforts this year.

News editor Rose Jackson returns the local hero as Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association's Journalist of The Year after winning a first and second place in Live Writing and a first place in the Canned Competition.

She won a first place for her feature on a death and dying class at Metro. Rose interviewed Mickey Axtell, an MSC student who took the class that helps people prepare for and deal with death. , A year later Mickey's daughter was killed in a jeep accident.

But Mickey and her daughter, as an assignment for the class, had worked through some tough questions about death.

Rose's story tells how Mickey made sure all of her daughter's

wishes were honored. Rose also introduces us to Kenneth Sabatka, "the new owner of my daughter's left kidney," as Mickey says.

Features are her gig Rose truly has a strength in feature writing. Her next first place award came for her Live Feature Story. RMCPA holds live competition -where students go out and interview and research for stories on deadline - and Rose took first for her profile on fiction writer Elleston Trevor.

But Rose doesn't stop at feature writing. One can't if one is to be Journalist of The Year.

She took second place in the Live N ewswriting competition for her coverage of a staged murder in the middle of 'snake country' in Arizona.

Production Manager, David Colson, received an honorable mention for Layout and Design for his layout of The Cocaine Game story, last year.

Honorable mentions seem to go with the territory of being a production manager.

Although David has consist-

entlyperformed well, making The Metropolitan look the way it does, this is his first award for himself.

But like most leaders, the awards don't show on their own walls but on those of the ones they teach. And David has taught us well.

The staff received an honorable mention for the Typography Design and Layout of the paper. That award is for the general look of The Met. While the entire staff is responsible for the weekly layout and design, it's David Colson who sets the pace and makes certain everything looks right.

We're very grateful that David has worked so hard and so long at The Met and we wish him the best of luck.

Art is as alive as a river born high in the mountains of our arid state. The South Platte River wears many costumes, rising in South Park above Hoosier Pass and traversing through various towns and reservoirs before leaving Colorado's eastern border near Julesburg.

Its confluence with Cherry Creek in the heart of Denver brought life to the city in the mid-1800's; its torrents near Deckers have brought death to many who've taunted the river by riding its "shoots."

Nine students at Auraria have documented the South Platte for a Metro photography class. Their impressions of the river will be displayed in the library gallery through April 17.

Each student's work represents a unique aspect of the river's character.

Man's imprint on the South Platte is portrayed by shots of beer cans scattered on its banks, by concrete towers designed to control the river's currents, by men and women living and working on and around the water.

Other portraits catch the river in its natural state: sand banks dominatinp:

by Dale Miner the trickle of water so frustrating to early trappers and miners, trees overgrown onto the thirst-quenching edges of the river, reflections of clouds and foliage mirroring the South Platte's environment.

The variety of the students' impression of the South Platte simulate the static nature of the river. The exhibit portrays the importance of water in the area by paying tribute to the "grand dame" of rivers in Colorado.

Earth Spirit Empowers Author

Susan Brent Reporter

,..

I once had a mirror that faced the top of my antique vanity. One day the mirror inexplicably fell, crashing into thousands of tiny pieces of fragemented glass.

The memory of my shattered mirror returned when I began learning about Lynn Andrews, author of Medicine Woman, Flight of the Seventh Moon and Jaguar Woman.

Andrews' spiritual quest began when she traveled to Manitoba, Canada in search of an Indian marriage basket she had seen pictured at a Los Angeles art gallery. In Canada she met two Indian medicine women, Ruby Plenty Chiefs and Agnes Wbistlling Elk who, during the ten years Andrews spent learning their teachings, led Andrews on a path of self-enlightenment and empowerment.

The themes of Andrews' books deal with power, especially women and power, and she talks about how many women don't realize they have power over their lives, and instead of realizing that, they give their power away.

Andrews eventually captures the marriage basket from an Indian named Red Dog. Before obtaining the basket she encountered many obstacles, all leading to her self-growth.

In her second book, Flight of the Seventh Moon, Andrews continues the saga of her life with the medicine woman. Whistling Elk compares humans to a mirror, teaching Andrews that "we are like pieces of smashed mirror, and those pieces reflect the light of the great spirit." Andrews learns through her teachers the process of "fitting together the shattered pieces of oneself into a whole." The pieces together make a shield, Andrews said, that people carry with them the rest of their lives.

Andrews' books are full of the daring adventures she encounters. In her latest book, I aguar W om.an, Andrews writes, "The jungle below us formed an enormous crater and we were standing on the rim. The canyon was so deep that I couldn't see.the bottom - it was obscured in mist." Andrews treks with a woman called Ziola, to the bottom of "la caldra" and in so doing learns about herself and the obstacles she creates in her life that keep her from achieving greater happiness.

In an interview from her home in California I asked Andrews how a woman with a husband and two children who, perhaps, has fewer chancesfor meeting such great teachers and having such harrowing experiences, can come to a better understanding of who she is.

"We all can find our teachers," , Andrews said. "Not only through .adventures - every moment presents to you problems and learning experiences."

Andrews says most of us sleepwalk through life and "we have to become consious to hear - to learn something."

How does one find a teacher? "Every person in life is a teacher, Andrews said. "People that upset you the most are usually the best teachers. They usually s.?ow you something you need to learn.

She said most people come to her lectures because they are looking for "alternatives in their lives." She also said that many men come in order "to heal themselves."

That statement brings up another important aspect of her books, the bal-

ance of female and male energies on earth.

"This is definitely a female planet.

Men come to this planet not knowing this and need to be taught. In learning they begin to understand and then they see what life is all about."

Andrews said too of ten women relinquish their powers to others, and her books reflect this line of thinking.

Her books often discuss the power that we all possess if we only choose to use it.

Though it's been more than a year since my mirror fell, I still come across, usually with some pain, a sliver of glass

that my vacuum failed to pick up. I discard the glass, but always the memory of my beautiful, whole, mirror returns.

Andrews' books chronicle how she discovered all the pieces of her life and how she put those pieces together. In the process, she finds her power and it seems to be, after reading her books, that through her experiences we may find the path to become complete and whole individuals.

Lynn Andrews will be speaking at St. Cajetan's Center on April 4th and 5th. For information contact CCD's Women's Center.

Sagan's Nightmare Timmy: Hey, what are you watching?

Is that a new Spielberg movie?

Jon: No. It's ca11ed "Nightline." Some dude named Koppel is hosting this show that's telling all about the inside of Halley's comet.

Timmy: Wow! Is that it? Wow. Looks like... like a yellow fireball inside a blue ball of ice.

Joni Yeah. That's basically what it is, I guess. He said something about ice and gas and stuff I never heard of, but they say they won't be able to know exactly

what it is for a while. They say they might be able to find out a lot about how the solar system began when they're done.

Timmy: Wow. This is pretty exciting.

Jon: They usually aren't, I don't think.

But the Russians are letting all these guys in because they're the first to see the inside of the comet and they want to share what they find. Those pictures are from a Russian satellite. They got two of 'em up there.

Timmy: Really? Wow, I didn't think they cared about that stuff.

Jon: Neither did I. But they do.

Timmy: Yeah, so were's our...

Jon: Shhh. Sagan's talking again. (pause} Timmy: Why does he say billions as BllIIIyuns?

Jon:Shhh!

Timmy: Hey. He said Japan is sending up two satellites, too.

Jon: Yep. Then after that there's one going up by.. .ltaly, I think. It's supposed to go right inside the Comet.

Timmy: Really? Won't it get burned or vaporize or something?

Jon: Yeah, probably. But the information is sent back to Earth before the satellite is destroyed.

Timmy: Wow. This is pretty neat.

Jon: Yep. Half the world is supposed to be watching, so ...see that? That TV there is showing how big the nucleus of the Comet is.

Timmy: Wow! And ... why are they all clapping?

Jon: Because. This is a historic occasion.

A11 this information coming back is stuff that nobody ever knew about.

And 80or100 or whatever years from now we might not be able to see it again.

Timmy: Yeah, so when is this going to be shown on all American TV stations?

When do our satellites get there?

Jon: They won't. We didn't send any.

Timmy: What? Why not? I thought .. .! thought we were supposed to be first and so much better at space... uh ...stuff.

Jon: Who told you that?

Timmy: Well...! don't know. I just thought...

Jon: Too many movies. Too much "Star Wars."

Timmy: Well...can't we send one up?

Jon: Sure. We could have.

Timmy: Why didn't we?

Jon: The president said it would have cost too much.

Timmy: Oh. Jon: This Sagan guy said it would have cost as much as a B-1 bomber.

Timmy: Oh. (pause) Timmy: How many B-1 bombers do we have?

Jon: I don't know. 20 or 30, I guess. (pause) Timmy: I guess we wouldn't be safe with one less, huh?

Jon: I guess not. (Tom enters) Tom: Okay, punks. Take a walk. I'm using the VCR. I just rented a new flick.

Jon: Tom. How was the Springsteen concert?

SPORTS Caring Coach Reverses Downward Spiral Susanne Brent Reporter

Cindy Guthals is a coach who cares.

Above her desk, located in a tiny cubbyhole Guthals calls her office, there is a slip of paper on the wall which reads: "Your players don't care bow much you know, unless they know bow much you care," Anonymous.

Hired to coach the women's basketball team last June, Guthals said she was greeted "by a mailbox full of calls." The calls were from area women basketball players wanting information about Metro's women's team.

Gutbals' first job was to call each one back in an attempt to put together a team for the rapidly approaching season.

Guthals said she began her job feeling she was "spiraling headlong into the season." It appeared at the start of the season it was going to be a downward spiral as the team lost rune in a row. Things changed mid-way through the year when 6-3 center Heidi Keyes and 5-10 forward Cathy Klazura, became part of the starting five.

After the team beat Dordt College by 26 points they started seeing they could win and things began to change, Guthals said.

"The team was used to losing (the record for the previous year was 1-20) and they needed to see they could win."

Guthals expression is serious but her tone is light when she talks about basketball.

"I love basketball - I'm excited about the game, Guthals said, "This (coaching) is exactly what I wanted to

d o. "

Besides coaching the women's team part-time, Gutbals also teaches full-time at Deer Creek Jr. High School.

Guthals openly expresses her desire to have the part-time coaching position expanded into full-time.

When asked how she feels about the men's basketball team getting more attention and funding, Guthals hesitates a moment before answering.

"It was like that in high school and when I was in college - it will always be there," she said.

"There is no animosity. I take what they give me and work with that.

"Bob Hull, the men's basketball Coach, is highly supportive and helpful. He'll go over to the student center with me and talk X's and O's any time."

She said that more women coaches are needed to coach women's teams.

Women seeing other women being successful in encouraging: And yes, Guthals is hoping that the rise in student fees is voted in. The additional funding, she said, would increase her ability to travel and to recruit players from around the state and country, giving her an opportunity

to select from a wide variety of talents.

Next season is on Guthals mind now.

She has given the team March and April off but, come May, training will begin. The women will be lifting weights, swimming, and in the summer attending athletic camps and clinics, all in preparation for the coming season.

Next season, Guthals wants to increase the number of plays so that

Error-Prone Roadrunners Get Sunburned in California Heat Jim Manuel Reporter

Metro State's baseball team went west during spring break and discovered all is not sunshine and fun in California.

The Roadrunners played five games against four different teams and only managed two wins.

"I expected a lot more - at least four and one," Coach Bill Helman said.

"Those teams were nothing like Air Force or UNC- teams we've already beat."

In Redlands, Metro split a doubleheader with Redlands University, winning the first game 13-8 and losing the second 12-11. Metro pitchers gave up

opposing teams will be less likely to predict what the team's next move is.

Guthals also wants the women's basketball team to be more visible than ever before.

Guthals said past teams haven't been very successful.

She wants that to change and with her positive and caring attitude, the failures of the past could very well turn into success for the future.

"Redlands was the strongest team we faced out there," Helman said.

"And we almost had a great comeback in the second game. We were down by three in the top of the seventh and scored six runs to take the lead. But we just couldn't hold on to the lead. They just murdered our pitchers."

Metro then travelled to La Verne where it lost to La Verne University 9-7 in a game the Roadrunners led 6-3 through six innings.

The second win came against Masters College in New Hall, 14-6. Helman said it was the weakest team MSC faced on the trip.

Roadrunners Tumln Strong Perfomwnces Over Spring Break Rob Ritter Reporter

The Metro State men's tennis team used the week of spring break to even its record at 3-3 and prepare for a tournament starting next Friday.

The Roadrunners defeated Eastern Montana 7-2 on Monday and followed

Baseball/ from page 16

Metio its third loss of the trip 7-2. Helman said Pomona wasn't that strong, but its pitcher had a great curve and the Metro batters couldn't get to him.

"I don't know how this team will bounce back from this trip," Helman said. "We played hard, but had some bad games."

Craig Bonato had three homers for the trip. He now has seven for the season, one shy of the school record.

Metro also swept a doubleheader with the University of Colorado's baseball club, 14-4 and 7-1, the week before spring break. The CU games do not count towards Metro's official record since baseball is not recognized

by CU as an offical intercollegiate sport.

D Metro's record is now 10-7.

Rob Ritter Reporter

The MSC women's tennis team won its first match of the season on Saturday, defeating the University of ColoradoColorado Springs 8-1.

However, later the same day the team faced a tough Colorado College team and ended up· on the opposite side of an identical 8-1 score.

Coach Cathy Meis-Greco said both matches were well played but it was difficult for her players to concentrate against UCCS. "It was hard to play them because they are a weaker team. It's easier to

Page 17

lose your concentration," she said.

Colorado College proved to be harder competition for the Roadrunners and the women played as well as they have all year, Meis-Greco said.

"CC is a really- strong team," she said, "but all the girls played well even though the scores weren't very close."

After Saturday's play, the women's overall record is 1-3 and Meis-Greco is satisfied with her team's play thus far.

'Tm real happy with the team and how we're playing," she said. "I think we're surprising some of the teams because we're stronger than we were last year."

The women play UCCS again next Saturday morning, then the University of Northern Colorado Saturday afternoon. Both matches will be at Auraria.
